Point Guard Chris Paul FD - $8500 DK - $7400Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 39.59 DK - 40.04 Paul remains just a bit too cheap for what he’s doing in this series and the Nuggets have just no answer for the veteran point guard. He’s looking fully healthy from the shoulder issue that cropped up in the first round and was second in the team in shots in Game 3. The Suns are going to look to close this thing out and Paul is coming off a full stat line game with 27 points, eight assists and six rebounds. He’s dominated this series and the Nuggets’ backcourt has no defensive answers for him so far. That’s unlikely to change in what could be the final game in the series. Mike James (FD $4300 DK $3900) is coming cheap and is still getting some minutes for the Nets. Shooting Guard Devin Booker FD - $7900 DK - $8100Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 47.51 DK - 49.7 It’s probably a little too much to pay for Booker on this slate, but the shooting guard position on this slate is very thin to begin with. His usage rate hasn’t been all that great this series though he did dial it up some in Game 3 scoring 28 on 11-23 shooting. Again, I’m not in love with this play, but the position is a moderate problem on FanDuel. You are overpaying some, but you might have to based on the player pool.  Bruce Brown FD - $5600 DK - $4700Opponent - MILProj Pts FD - 29.84 DK - 29.44 Bruce Brown was amazing in Game 3 until the very end when he missed the Nets' last two shots and they went home with the loss. But from a fantasy perspective, it was everything you could ask for. He hit floater after floater and finished with 16 points on 8-17 shooting and added team-high 11 rebounds as well. He’s likely to be a popular option on this slate considering the mid-tier pricing. Small Forward Khris Middleton FD - $8200 DK - $7600Opponent - BKNProj Pts FD - 41.68 DK - 43.43 Middleton broke out of it in a big...

Pitchers Shane Bieber FD - P 12000 DK - SP 11000 Opponent - SEA (Logan Gilbert) Park - CLEFD - 44.53 DK - 25.46 Bieber continues to be one of the most dominant starting pitchers in baseball, dialing up the strikeouts with the best of them. He’s putting down almost 13 batters per nine this season, which amazingly is a dip from his numbers last season. But the xFIP still sits under 3.00 and he still induces ground ball at a 46% rate. He’s just an elite arm and on Sunday face a Mariners team as a -228 home favorite with 7.5 over/under. This is the spot to pay up for him in cash and he’s the safest arm on the slate. Carlos Rodón FD - P 10500 DK - SP 10200 Opponent - DET (Undecided) Park - DETFD - 35.68 DK - 19.48 Rodin has sure turned things around this season, showing much more of the high upside promise many had dreamed about earlier in his career. This is shaping up to be, by far, his best year thanks to increased velocity on his fastball which he’s throwing more often and ditching the sinker he’d been using for years. It’s paying off. He’s striking out batters at a 37% clip and the 2.73 xFIP is just slightly behind the 1.96 ERA. On Sunday he’ll face off against a weaker Tigers’ lineup in a smash spot for the lefty. Catcher/First Base Vladimir Guerrero Jr. FD - 1B 4300 DK - 1B 5000 Opponent - BOS (Martin Perez) Park - BOSFD - 13.03 DK - 9.89 This game between the Red Sox and the Blue Jays has the highest implied run line to open the slate with an over/under of 10. Guerrero is having an MVP-type season so far with an OPS around 1.100 thanks to tremendous power with 19 home runs already and an elite 15% K rate. He’s quickly become one of the very best hitters in the league and faces off against the lefty Perez in this matchup. His OPS is lower against lefties for his career, but a lot of that is BABIP driven. This is a smash spot for Vlad. Josh Bell FD - 1B 2500 DK - 1B 4200 Opponent - SF (Johnny Cueto) Park - WSHFD - 12.88 DK - 9.62 Bell wasn’t in the lineup on Saturday against the lefty, but should be back...

Pitchers Afternoon Corbin Burnes FD - P 12000 DK - RP 10500 Opponent - PIT (Chad Kuhl) Park - MILFD - 44.56 DK - 24.42 Burnes has been stupid good this season with numbers that are truly eye-popping even for the strikeout age of baseball. Through his first 59 innings and change, he’s struck out 42% of the haters he’s faced for a 14 K/9 rate. It’s led to a 1.71 xFIP and 0.97 FIP. These are cheat-code level stats for a starting pitcher and he’s just been fully dominating. On Saturday afternoon he’ll face off against a very weak Pirates team and is opening as a -270 home favorite. Even at the high prices, this is just a very tough fade based on what he’s done this season. Joe Musgrove (FD $8300 DK $9300) is a great play against the Mets. The FanDuel price is a total steal for what he’s been doing this season. Evening Trevor Bauer FD - P 11000 DK - SP 9800 Opponent - TEX (Kolby Allard) Park - LADFD - 51.69 DK - 28.73 Bauer is a monster favorite for the evening slate of games, with the Dodgers opening at -290 at home against the Rangers. Bauer isn’t as good as the 2.40 ERA would suggest, but the xFIP is only trailing by a little more than a run this season. He’s struck out more than 11 batters per nine and has the walk rate under his career average. The Rangers rank 28th in terms of team offense on the season and are striking out 26% of the time as a team. This is a smash spot for Bauer and he’ll likely be the chalk pitcher for the evening. Catcher/First Base Afternoon Freddie Freeman FD - 1B 3400 DK - 1B 5200 Opponent - MIA (Undecided) Park - MIAFD - 14.63 DK - 10.95 The Marlins haven’t announced their starter for Saturday and that’s going to have the Braves in a good spot for this game. While there isn’t an early line on the game, we can assume Atlanta is the clear favorite. Freeman’s OPS is down a bit this season compared to years past, but he’s still tough to K at only 18%, takes a ton of walks, and is running so bad on batted ball stuff with a BABIP over 100 points lower than his career average. He’s coming at a deal because...

Pitchers Brandon Woodruff FD - P 11800 DK - SP 10400 Opponent - PIT (Chase De Jong) Park - MIL FD - 43 DK - 24.06 Don't get me wrong, fading deGrom in cash in a game with a silly 5.5 total seems silly but hear me out. Woodruff is not only a much larger favorite(-265) here but also gets a much better matchup against a Pirates team that ranks 2nd to last in runs scored and wRC+(81) and dead last in wOBA(.286) on the season. For Woodruff, he has been elite since the short outing on opening day holding opponents to two or fewer earned runs in 11 straight starts(1.13 ERA/2.66 xFIP) with a 33% K rate. Add in the $900 discount on DraftKings and he is my top pitcher on this slate. Tyler Mahle FD - P 8500 DK - SP 7900 Opponent - COL (Kyle Freeland) Park - CIN FD - 37.24 DK - 20.71 Up next is my favorite value pitcher on the slate in Tyler Mahle who continues to come in under the $8K mark on DraftKings despite getting off to a career-best start. Outside of two awful starts where he allowed six and seven earned runs, he has held opponents to two or fewer in 10 of 12 starts and enters with an impressive 3.32 ERA/3.62 xFIP. He also gets a plus matchup tonight against a Rockies team that ranks dead last in wRC+(71) which is park-adjusted. No matter which elite arm you are paying up for, Mahle is my favorite SP2 on DraftKings in all formats. Catcher/First Base Matt Olson FD - 1B 3800 DK - 1B 5400 Opponent - KC (Brady Singer) Park - OAK FD - 11.16 DK - 8.27 If paying up at the first, Olson is the clear choice for me for a couple of reasons starting with the matchup. He and the A's face Brad Singer who has given up eight or more walks/hits in five of his last six starts and struggles much more against lefties with a 4.99 xFIP and has given up a .348 wOBA and all four home runs against in the splits. The biggest change for Olson this season has been the patience as he has brought his K rate down to 17% after topping 25% in four previous seasons. This has pushed him to an insane .393 wOBA and 158 wRC+, both among...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Friday, 6/11/21 The last few days of the NBA Playoffs have been bizarre. Wednesday night was blowout city with Phoenix destroying Denver, and then Thursday's games were all over the place. We should have some competitive games here, though, with both matchups having 1.5-point spreads. That means it's essentially a coin flip, and I honestly don't really have an opinion on who will win those games. I do have some opinions on who I like for DFS, though, so let's go ahead and get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Trae Young FD - $9700 DK - $9300 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 49.21 DK - 53.74 Atlanta has been one of the biggest surprises in this postseason, and Trae is a major reason why. This young point guard has taken his game to another level, scoring at least 41 DraftKings points in all seven postseason games he's played. That has given him a 46-point average in these playoffs, some of the best fantasy production from any player in the league. That has earned him this $9,500 price tag, and there are only a couple of guys who have the same 40-point floor as Young. Facing Philly sounds tough, but Young averages 46.2 fantasy points per game in his four meetings this season. Chris Paul FD - $8200 DK - $7100 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 32.66 DK - 33.03 We were pretty concerned about Paul's health this time last week, but the Game 2 gem that CP3 posted put all of that doubt in the garbage. The future Hall-of-Famer collected 17 points, five rebounds, and 15 assists in that spectacular performance and did not commit a turnover. That's an amazing line, and it makes it hard to understand why he's only $7,100 0n DraftKings. It was actually his second-straight game in this series with at least 49 fantasy points, and he should have no problem duplicating that against this dismantled Denver defense. If he does reach that total, CP3 will be in every winning lineup out there. Facundo Campazzo has been sneaky good for Denver throughout the postseason and shouldn't be forgotten. Shooting Guard Devin Booker FD - $8200 DK -...
