Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $10700 DK - $11000 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 54.23 DK - 57.15 For the second straight game, Luka came just shy of recording his first triple-double of the season and is back to being a fantasy stud. The price is slowly going up but it is justified considering we have yet to see his ceiling game as both the FG% and 3PT% are lower than his career averages. The good news is that he may just get some monster usage tonight with Porzingis trending towards out and he faces a Spurs team that has allowed an average of 111 points per game and run a Top 10 pace. Luka is easily the top pay-up on this smaller slate. Derrick White FD - $6500 DK - $6300 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 33.84 DK - 36.06 Despite the fact the Mavericks have been fairly tough on guards(12th in Fpts to the position), I do like the opportunity and PTS/$ upside with White if the Spurs can keep it close throughout. I also like the price which is sticking in the low to mid $6K range and while the usage (18%) is nothing to write home about, White is a guard who contributed in many areas (6.5 assists, 3.3 reb, 2 steals per game) adding to his value. I like him on both sites tonight but his value is slightly higher on DraftKings where he is in play in all formats. Shooting Guard Tim Hardaway Jr. FD - $5000 DK - $6400 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 28.68 DK - 31.93 Hardway is a very scoring dependant fantasy player which you would think would hurt his value playing with Doncic and Porzinigis but it hasn't at all. He has dropped 15 of 28 shots(54%) over the last two games and may get even more volume tonight if Porzingis is to sit out like expected. We will have to stay tuned for the news before deciding on our DraftKings exposure as the price is much more fair compared to FanDuel where he is greatly underpriced and a play in all formats regardless of...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Wednesday, 10/27/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 10/27/21 Tuesday's card was wild when LeBron James got ruled out right before lock, and it looks like we're going to be in for another crazy one here. Every NBA slate is like that, though, and it's always tough to know what to expect. In any case, our projections have been on point, and we have a bunch of pieces we like for this slate. Without further ado, let's kick things off with a triple-double machine!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Russell Westbrook FD - $8400 DK - $9300 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 50.94 DK - 53.47 There have obviously been some growing pains in Westbrooks's first week with the Lakers, but this dude is too good to be this cheap. We're literally talking about a guy averaging 23.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, 9.8 assists, and 1.7 steals since 2016! That's a five-year sample size of ridiculous numbers, and he won't stray too far away from those averages no matter who he plays with. What's even crazier is this price drop, with Russ sitting between $11,000 and $12,000 for most of that time. That means his price is impossible to avoid, and we absolutely love that this is the second half of a back-to-back set. That means a nicked-up LeBron James or Anthony Davis could sit, which would open up even more stats for Russ. He's starting to find it, too, averaging 20.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 10 assists over his last three games. Not to mention, Westbrook will surely be hungry against the OKC team that made his name. Jalen Suggs FD - $5300 DK - $5000 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 30.2 DK - 31.17 Picking rookies has volatility attached to it, but this Orlando team has a ton of value. Suggs has been doing a lot of ball-handling for them, averaging 12.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.3 steals per game. That might not sound special, but it equates to a 23-point average. That's really all you can hope for from a $5K player, especially with this rookie shooting just 28 percent from the field. That means he'll inevitably get better, and we genuinely believe he'll be the...

Point Guard Stephen Curry FD - $10400 DK - $11000Opponent - OKCProj Pts FD - 56 DK - 59 Curry has picked right up where he left off last season, carrying the Warriors on his shoulders and shooting the lights out of the building. He’s come out of the gate scoring 31 points on 23 shots and 12 three-point attempts per game. The usage is unreal, the efficiency is up there with the best ever, and opposing defenses don’t have much in the way of answers when it comes to his off-ball movement and laser accuracy from beyond the arc. The price is way up, but the Thunder stink and it’s tough to imagine them really slowing him down at all in this matchup. Luka Doncic FD - $10900 DK - $10900Opponent - HOUProj Pts FD - 56.79 DK - 61.32 In his second game of the season, Luka got back to doing what he does best, scoring in every possible way across the stat line. In 39 minutes (the Mavs really wanted to win this one), Doncic poured in 27 points, 12 assists, and nine rebounds. The efficiency, especially from three (2-10) left something to be desired, but beggars aren’t going to be choosers here. When dialed in and controlling the offense, few players have the same upside as Doncic and he draws a great matchup against a weaker Rockets’ team on Tuesday. Shooting Guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander FD - $7100 DK - $8100Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 43.41 DK - 44.69 It looks like if the Oklahoma City Thunder can keep games close, Shai is going to play a lot of minutes. That former part though is going to be the question all season. Can OKC stick close enough in games? They aren’t a very good team and that could be tough sledding. But when Shai gets the minutes, he’s very effective and these prices, especially the one on FanDuel, he’s almost sure to pay them off. Last game against the Sixers SGA played 39 minutes, took 19 shots, and finished with 29 points, eight assists, and six rebounds. The points and minutes were probably a little high, but even some...

Point Guard Lonzo Ball FD - $6200 DK - $7100Opponent - TORProj Pts FD - 35.56 DK - 35.93 The Bulls’ uniform suits Lonzo well so far this season. He’s already averaging more than 35 minutes a game for Chicago and putting it up across the stat line with 14 points, 6.7 rebounds, and five assists per game with four defensive stats per to boot. It’s just offering such a high floor at these price points and it’s hard to imagine him getting buzzed off at these prices because of how diversified his stat lines have become. On FanDuel he’s a tough fade in cash games especially because of how defensive stats are overweighted there. Reggie Jackson FD - $5600 DK - $6500Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 31.48 DK - 33.44 He hasn’t had a tremendous fantasy impact to start the season, but there are a couple of factors at play. For starters, he’s shooting well under his career averages through the first couple of games. Jackson is just 31% from the field despite being a 45% career shooter. And he’s also been just 35% from three despite shooting over 40% over the last two seasons. This should round out with time and we are getting him a little cheaper now because of it. I think the FanDuel price is right in line with where it should be and the matchup against Portland is a really good one for the guard. If Jaylen Brown is out again then Dennis Schroder (FD 5500 DK 5600) would make a good play once again. Shooting Guard James Harden FD - $10000 DK - $9500Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 53.53 DK - 57.13 It’s been something of an inauspicious start to the season for Harden who has struggled a bit with consistency and is turning the ball over a bunch. But the Nets draw a great matchup against the Wizards in the back-to-back on Monday and this is a spot for him to really put up numbers. Brooklyn has the highest implied total on the slate and one has to assume the assist numbers will tick up for Harden as he gets used to some of...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Thursday, 10/21/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Thursday, 10/21/21 We've had an awesome start to the NBA season with plenty of fantasy storylines emerging. A few teams are making their debut here on Thursday as well.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $11000 DK - $10600Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 55.35 DK - 58.73 In terms of fantasy scoring floor and ceiling, Luka is among the very best in the game, consistently driving nearly all of what the Mavericks do on the offensive end. This much isn’t news really, most are aware he’s one of the best in the game right now. He’s coming off another amazing statistical season, averaging 28 points, eight rebounds, and 8.6 assists per game. The 4+ turnovers a game are still a “problem” but that’s only relatively speaking. There are a few superstars on this three-game slate, but Luka is a tough fade against Atlanta. Reggie Jackson FD - $5000 DK - $6700Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 28.36 DK - 30.43 When Kawhi Leonard went down with a knee injury during the Clippers’ series with the Utah Jazz in the playoffs last year, Reggie Jackson instantly stepped in to fill the void. The latter was excellent, a key component in how the Clips advanced in that series and then took the Suns to six games in the next series. During that time, Jackson averaged more than 21 points per game with 4+ assists and rebounds each as well. He plays second-fiddle to Paul George in the offense, but that is to be expected. He is coming too cheap on FanDuel where he should be a core play on Thursday. Shooting Guard Grayson Allen FD - $4100 DK - $4400Opponent - MIAProj Pts FD - 22.23 DK - 23.82 Pat Connaughton FD - $4300 DK - $4500Opponent - MIAProj Pts FD - 18.2 DK - 18.46 Shooting guard is a position we can likely get out of pretty cheap here with a couple of lower-tier options that should see enough minutes to provide value. Grayson Allen got the start in the opener on Tuesday, playing 28 minutes and going for 10 points, six assists, and four rebounds in the win. He was enough a part of the...
