Point Guard George Hill FD - $4600 DK - $3800 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 26.83 DK - 27.09> It looks like we are going to play a few different Bucks in cash on this slate. Hill is filling in for the injured Jrue Holiday in the starting lineup and is coming off a solid game in the role. While sometimes he can get lost in the offense, last time out Hill took 10 shots and finished with 11 points, six rebounds, and two assists in his 30 minutes. It wasn’t an overwhelming performance, but more than enough to get the job done at these prices, especially on DraftKings where he is simply coming too cheap. Russell Westbrook FD - $9200 DK - $9900 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 47.87 DK - 51.92 Lebron James is currently questionable for this game. If he were to sit then Westbrook would become a lock for cash games. But even if James plays in this one, I think there is a case enough to consider Russ at his FanDuel price. In games Lebron has played this season, Westbrook is averaging 15 points, eight assists, and seven rebounds, with those numbers dragged down by a disastrous first game of the year against the Warriors. Lop that one off and you get close to a triple-double average with 17 points, nine assists, and eight rebounds. Plus, Westbrook has 11 steals on the season as well. I think he’s moderately safe no matter who the Lakers have tonight. Kyle Lowry (FD 5900 DK 7100) is still too cheap on FanDuel. Shooting Guard Cade Cunningham FD - $5000 DK - $3600 Opponent - MIL Proj Pts FD - 21.39 DK - 23.01 Cade Cunningham made his NBA debut on Saturday for the Pistons and began to flash some of the superstar promise for the number one overall pick. He played just 19 minutes and scored just two points. But he already showed that he’s going to get up shots in this offense and there aren’t going to be many 1-8 shooting nights. Plus he grabbed seven boards in limited run and dished out two assists...

Point Guard Dejounte Murray FD - $8900 DK - $9200 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 44.59 DK - 44.63 The Spurs usage is very evenly distributed between Murray, Keldon Johnson, and Lonnie Walker but the latter two have really struggled from the field recently while Murray has thrived. Over his last two games, he has dropped 19 of 34 shots from the field(56%) and 4 of 8 from behind the arc. What really makes him stand out, especially from a safe floor/cash games standpoint, is that he provides value in multiple areas averaging over eight assists and rebounds per game. It's also a perfect time to be facing the Pacers who come in 1-6 and rank 21st in defensive efficiency. Lock and load in all formats. Damian Lillard FD - $8300 DK - $9600 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 48.02 DK - 50.4 To say it is a bit of a struggle to start the season for Lillard would be a massive understatement as he is shooting 10% below his career FG% and more noticeable only shooting 23% from behind the arc(37% career). Despite the struggles, the Trail Blazers run a Top 3 pace and are in a decent spot tonight against the Sixers who have been nothing more than league-average defensively. While the price is going up on DraftKings making him more of a GPP only play, he comes at a terrific value on FanDuel and is my top PTS/$ guard. Shooting Guard Bradley Beal FD - $9100 DK - $10000 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 44.45 DK - 45.5 If it's volume you're after, look no further than Bradley Beal who leads the league with an insane 35.7% usage rate while putting up 24.8 shots per game. While the fantasy performances haven't been as consistent as we would like from a top-priced player, the good news is that he is running a bit cold in terms of FG%(36%) compared last season(48.5%) and over the course of his career(45.5%). With that, the price has stayed relatively in check so you could say this is a bit of a buy-low in terms of his upside potential....
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Sunday, 10/31/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 10/31/21 This slate is downright ugly. There are five games in total and only four making up the DFS card. It happens to be a bunch of struggling teams, too, making the selections particularly tough. The good news is that we have plenty of superstars to pick from and numerous value plays to mix them with.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Damian Lillard FD - $8400 DK - $9400 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 49.44 DK - 51.44 Dame has been struggling with his shot all year, but this $8,400 price tag on FanDuel is laughable. This dude is usually north of $10K, and it's just a matter of time before he gets there. Despite his shooting slump, Lillard still has 32 DraftKings points in four of five games en route to a 36-point average. We expect that average to jump closer to 45-50 fantasy points as the season progresses, and that means some positive regression is headed his way as well. Dame has killed Charlotte over recent years, scoring at least 45 DK points in each of their last two meetings dating back to 2019. Cade Cunningham FD - $5000 DK - $3600 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 21.92 DK - 22.33 Um, $3,600 on DraftKings? This looks like a mistake made by DK, clearly failing to realize that Cunningham is back and starting. He really struggled with his shot in his debut, but this is a guy who's expected to stuff the stat sheet at ease. Our projections have him sitting around 21-22 DK points, but I truly believe a 25/30-point average is more realistic. This guy is expected to run this offense and handle the ball as much as possible, making this price tag truly shocking. He did play just 18 minutes in his debut on Saturday and will likely be capped at 20-25 here, but as long as he provides the fantasy-point-per-minute that we anticipate, he'll give us the fantasy production we need. If you have the salary, Luka Doncic is obviously a great play against a bad Kings defense. Shooting Guard James Harden FD - $9900 DK - $9900 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 50.24...

Point Guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander FD - $7200 DK - $7300Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 40.95 DK - 44.67 The Thunder stink. That much is pretty obvious at this point already. But despite their struggles and 1-4 record, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is playing a lot of minutes as long as the games stay relatively close. On the season, he’s taking close to 18 shots and more than seven three attempts per game. That’s in the top 25 in the league in shot attempts and when he’s dialed in he can score with the best of them. The Thunder are moderate blowout risks on Saturday against the Warriors, coming in as +12 road underdogs. But the price on Shai is just simply too low on both sites for how much they want to play him. Dejounte Murray FD - $8600 DK - $8500Opponent - MILProj Pts FD - 47.47 DK - 49.97 Murray has been awesome this season even if the Spurs haven’t been. While San Antonio is 1-4, it isn’t because of Dejounte’s play. He’s averaging just under a triple-double on the season with 17 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists per game. In fact, he ranks 12th on the season in DraftKings points per game. And yet he’s priced well under some others on the site here. The matchup against Milwaukee isn’t exactly ideal, but the Bucks are actually playing at the fastest pace in the league this season and haven’t been great on defense without Jrue Holiday and Brook Lopez. Strongly consider Kyle Lowry (FD 5900 DK 7100) on FanDuel. Shooting Guard T.J. McConnell FD - $5500 DK - $4900Opponent - TORProj Pts FD - 32.99 DK - 35 He was a major chalk play on both sites on Friday when he drew the start for the injured Malcolm Brogdon. It didn’t exactly work out with McConnell tallying just high points, four assists, and four rebounds in his 33 minutes. I’m not concerned with it at all and will be heading right back to the well again here against Toronto. For starters, TJ ran bad from the field, shooting just 4-14. He actually tied for the third-most shots on the team which...

Be sure to read our free NBA and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy, and more. We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Damian Lillard FD - $8400 DK - $9300Opponent - LACProj Pts FD - 47.58 DK - 52.2 Lillard has really struggled out of the gate this season with the shooting just not coming around through his first four games. He’s hit only 17% of his three (6-35) and is shooting just 33% from the field. It’s been a rough go of it though the Blazers have weathered part of the storm and are 2-2. It’s just not realistic to think that this keeps up for Dame and regression in the form of made baskets should be on its way. With that in mind, the price on FanDuel is just kind of a joke at this point. This is a guy taking 18+ shots a game, playing a ton of minutes, and is just one of the best players in the league. Buying all day here with the early season run bad. Luka Doncic FD - $10700 DK - $11000Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 54.85 DK - 60.75 Luka really struggled to get going against the Spurs on Thursday, not registering his first rebound or assist until near the end of the second quarter. He bounced back big in the second half though and ended up finishing with 25 points, five assists, and three rebounds. That line is underwhelming, but again almost all of it came in the third and fourth quarters. If Kirstaps Porzingis sits again then I think we can play Luka again no problem even at these prices. If Lebron James sits again then Russell Westbrook (FD 9400 DK 9700) basically becomes a must-play for the third-straight game. We might not have this injury news ahead of time which could make it a tricky spot. Shooting Guard Jalen Brunson FD - $5000 DK - $4800Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 27.93 DK - 30.95 Brunson, like Luka, is more in play if Kristaps Porzingis sits out. In the last two games, the first one in which Staps left early with the injury, Brunson has averaged 15 points, eight assists, and six rebounds in just around 30 minutes per game. He’s well-equipped to pick up some of the scoring...
