FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Saturday, 12/7/19 Friday night was full of wild games and we're back at it here! Unfortunately, we only have five games ahead of us and we could be looking at another night full of blowouts. In fact, we don't have a single spread within six points and we have four of the five games posting a spread at 9.5 points or higher. That means raw points will be critical and that's why we'll offer up a good mixture of studs and value plays. In addition, we'll go ahead and avoid recommending anyone from the DAL-NOP matchup, which takes place before the main slate. With that in mind, let's get into our plays! Head on over a for your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA FanDuel and DraftKings optimizer, our NFL Optimizer and NHL Projections as well. Plus our new player lab!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Ricky Rubio FD - $7600 DK - $6800Opponent - HOUProj Pts FD - 35.26 DK - 35.5 The point guard selections on this slate are very volatile, so let's go with a consistent guy like Rubio. The Spaniard is actually in the midst of one of his best seasons ever, averaging 12.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game. If you take out the three games where Rubio was dealing with injury, he's actually scored at least 30 DK points in all of the other 13 outings while averaging just shy of 40 fantasy points per game. That's huge against a Houston club who sits third in pace and 25th in points allowed.  De'Anthony Melton FD - $5500 DK - $5200Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 26.58 DK - 25.9 Many people will pivot to Tyus Jones in the absence of Ja Morant because Jones will be starting but Melton is the sharper play. Memphis finally became privy to that in the last loss, starting Melton in the second half. It's really no surprise when you see his production, with Melton averaging 33 DK points per game across 26 minutes of action over his last three fixtures. That's all you can ask for from a $5,000 player and he should continue to see a big role as long as Morant remains out.  If you're playing the early slate, it's impossible to avoid Luka Doncic against a bad Pelicans defense.  Shooting Guard James Harden FD - $12100...

Pitchers James Paxton FD - P 9600 DK - SP 9400 Opponent - KC (Jorge Lopez) Park - NYY FD - 40.35 DK - 22.3 Paxton is the biggest projected favorite on this slate and it's easy to see why. After struggling the first three games, Paxton threw an absolute gem against the Boston Red Sox in his most recent outing. Paxton pitched eight-shutout innings, allowing just three baserunners while striking out 12 batters. That's the Paxton that we've become accustomed to, as he's posted a 2.90 FIP and 30.3 percent K-rate in his last two years with the Mariners. Facing Kansas City is a treat too, as they currently rank 25th in wOBA.  Joey Lucchesi FD - P 8300 DK - SP 9400 Opponent - CIN (Tyler Mahle) Park - SD FD - 31.25 DK - 16.52 Luchessi's 5.06 ERA is far from pretty but his underlying statistics tell a different story. In fact, Luchessi owns a 3.30 FIP this season and 26 percent career K-rate. Those are the numbers of an elite pitcher and he should have success in a pitcher's park like Petco. What really makes him an intriguing option here is his matchup, as he faces a Reds team who ranks dead-last in both OBP and batting average. That's why Cincinnati's projected run total is barely above three and Luchessi should have no problem shutting down one of the weakest lineups in baseball in such a friendly park.  Stephen Strasburg FD - P 10500 DK - SP 10700 Opponent - MIA (Trevor Richards) Park - MIA FD - 39.26 DK - 21.36 Strasburg has traditionally struggled against the Marlins but it's a tough matchup to fade. In fact, the Marlins currently rank last in both wOBA and xwOBA so far this season. That's really no surprise when you consider the fact that Starlin Castro is probably their best hitter. Pitching in Miami is fantastic too, as that currently ranks as the best pitching park in the majors based on park factors. In addition, Strasburg's has some special peripherals, owning a 2.92 xFIP and a 29 percent K-rate for his career.  Catcher/First Base Wellington Castillo FD - C 2600 DK - C 3400 Opponent - DET (Daniel Norris) Park - DET FD - 9.77 DK - 7.5 Picking catchers is like pulling teeth but Castillo has some serious home run upside in this matchup. Over the last five years, Castillo has...

A podcast, in case you'd like to take us on the go.   Quarterbacks Andrew Luck - FD 10300 DK 9700 DD 17700 DFSTR Andrew Luck hasn't thrown for fewer than 300 yards since September 15th. As I watch the snow fall down, that feels like a long time ago. Listen - Luck is the safest fantasy QB in the world, and I suspect it isn't even close. With the injury to Ahmad Bradshaw, I think the Colts will maintain or even build upon their incredibly pass-heavy approach, and the Jags (26th in the league against the pass) don't pose much of a threat. He was even able to throw for 300 yards with Revis crushing TY Hilton. Luck will be in all my cash games. Drew Brees - FD 9000 DK 8200 DD 14600 DFSTR 7300 Is Drew Brees done? Is our projection system throwing good money after bad? I guess that's for you to decide,...
