Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! After a huge Thursday slate last week, we're back to a more normal one here. We have a lot of teams traveling, with only six games making up this night slate. The one thing that needs to be monitored is the weather. That's common on every slate, but the San Fran-Washington game definitely has some question marks when we write this on Wednesday evening. If that game has any postponement threat, go ahead and fade it, eliminating 17 percent of the player pool. Pitchers Trevor Rogers FD - P 10100 DK - RP 9000 Opponent - COL (Chi Chi González) Park - MIA FD - 36.56 DK - 19.43 Whenever you have one of the hottest pitchers in baseball facing one of the worst lineups, you have to use them in DFS. Let's kick things off by talking about my Rockies. This team is an embarrassment outside of Coors Field, ranked dead-last in runs scored, OBP, OPS, and xwOBA on the road. They're actually lapping the field in many of those barely averaging over two runs a game. That's horrifying in a spacious ballpark like Marlins Park and even more terrifying against a guy like Trevor. The spectacular southpaw has allowed three runs or fewer in all 12 starts he's made, generating a 1.97 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 10.6 K/9 rate. Just take the guaranteed quality start and build your lineup from there. Frankie Montas FD - P 7400 DK - SP 8100 Opponent - KC (Mike Minor) Park - OAK FD - 34.06 DK - 17.9 This is far from a guaranteed quality start with Montas's volatility, but we like his upside in this spot. What really killed Frankie's numbers is the fact that he allowed six runs or more in two of his first four starts. Since then, he's been a different player, generating a 3.00 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and 9.0 K/9 rate in his other 10 starts. Those two rough outings came against the Dodgers and Twins, which tells you everything you need to know. The Royals are far from those lineups, with Kansas City ranked 17th in runs scored, 22nd in OBP, 19th in OPS, and 21st in wOBA. We also don't mind that Montas gets a home start at Oakland Coliseum, owning a 3.06 and 1.17 WHIP there between 2019-20. Catcher/First Base Vladimir Guerrero Jr. FD - 1B 4400 DK - 1B 5400 Opponent - CHW (Dallas Keuchel) Park...

Be sure to read our free NBA and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. The big question for tonight surround's Mike Conley's status. We're going to proceed with this article as though he's out, but if he winds up playing that throws a significant monkey wrench into things. Point Guard Kyrie Irving FD - $9700 DK - $9700 Opponent - MIL Proj Pts FD - 57.12 DK - 58.23 Jrue Holiday FD - $8200 DK - $7600 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 41.81 DK - 42.17 Point guard is really hard tonight. Kyrie and Jrue are really the only safe options (unless Conley sits, more on that in a second), but neither is a classic value on these prices. The expensive price tags only complicate things, as you're playing sub-optimal plays for high price tags. Still, it's not all a disaster. Kyrie has been absolutely up to the task of going up against Holiday, and Holiday himself has a very nice match-up with Brooklyn. We can't expect the Bucks to be this bad (or the Nets to be this good) forever, so I think you just plug these guys in and try to find savings elsewhere. You'll have to make your own mind up about the Clippers point guards. I'd like to trust Reggie Jackson, but it's terrifying that he saw just 17 minutes in a close game 1. If Conley is out, Jordan Clarkson is close to a must play if he's going to play 28 minutes and take 18 shots off the bench. Shooting Guard Donovan Mitchell FD - $9500 DK - $8900 Opponent - LAC Proj Pts FD - 45.24 DK - 47.51 With Conley out, Mitchell launched 30 shots into the air en route to 47 points from the field. It's clear that the Jazz think this is the main vector they can attack the Clippers' defense on, and if Beverley is only going to play 6 minutes per game the Clippers clearly don't have anyone to keep him in check. It's tough to spend up everywhere, but Mitchell looks like a must-play. Bruce Brown FD - $5900 DK - $4200 Opponent - MIL Proj Pts FD - 24.78 DK - 24.42 Brown was terrific in game two, compiling...

Pitchers Gerrit Cole FD - P 11500 DK - SP 11200 Opponent - MIN (Randy Dobnak) Park - MIN FD - 42.63 DK - 24.07 Cole has gotten wrecked for earned runs in two of his last four starts but I am not at all concerned, especially considering the lack of pitching on this slate. Outside of those two duds, Cole has been elite this season holding opponents to two or fewer earned runs in 10 of 12 starts, good for a 2.26 ERA/2.34 xFIP, and has not only has he been consistent but also provides a ton of upside with a 36.5% K rate. The matchup is nothing to write home about as the Twins are slightly above average in the split vs. righties(105 wRC+) and overall on the season(106 wRC+) but Cole is still easily the top pitcher on this slate. Austin Gomber FD - P 9500 DK - 6000 Opponent - MIA (Undecided) Park - MIA FD - 32.99 DK - 16.3 Stacking Cole with multiple big bats shouldn't be an issue on this slate given the two rookie pitchers who have been terrific lately and both in the $6k range on DraftKings. I will take the cheaper of the two and roll with Austin Gomber who is massively underpriced relative to his FanDuel price. He has definitely had some bumps along the way(gave up 5+ ER twice in three starts) but has been rolling lately holding opponents to two or fewer earned runs in five straight starts and three of those came at home in Coors Field. Tonight he gets a huge park factor upgrade getting a start in Miami vs. the Marlins who have a 88 wRC+ and 28% K rate against southpaws. Also Consider: Lance Lynn(CHW) who has been terrific all season(2.26 ERA/234 xFIP) but gets a tougher matchup vs. the Jays so is a GPP only play for me tonight Catcher/First Base Yuli Gurriel FD 3200 DK 4400 Opponent - BOS (Nathan Eovaldi) Park - BOS FD - 9.95 DK - 7.63 This game has the highest total(9.5) on the board tonight and a great spot to turn to in all formats. If you are not punting SP2 on DraftKings a balanced approach at the first base is in the cards and it starts with Yuli Gurriel. In the short term, he has been scorching hot with hits in five straight including four multi-hit...

Pitchers Tyler Glasnow FD - P 11000 DK - SP 10000 Opponent - WSH (Jon Lester) Park - TB FD - 45.83 DK - 25.72 After a quiet Monday, we are back with a full 15-game slate tonight and three ace pitchers sitting right at the top of the salary. The system has Glasnow sitting atop the PTS/$ rankings and I have to agree here as he comes at a discount from Bieber in a very similar matchup and has been more consistent(2.85 xFIP) with more upside(35% K rate) than Buehler. He also catches the Nats at the right time as they have lost eight of their last 11 while averaging just three runs per game and striking out 25% of the time. All things considered, Glasnow is my top pitcher in all formats tonight. Chris Bassitt FD - P 9700 DK - SP 8800 Opponent - ARI (Jon Duplantier) Park - OAK FD - 38.93 DK - 21.11 The chalk builds on DraftKings are very likely going to contain some combination of two top pitchers tonight and I wouldn't at all be surprised if Bassitt was the highest owned at a price under $9K. He is coming off his shortest outing(4 IP, 4 ER) of the season but overall has been very consistent holding opponents to two or fewer earned runs in eight of 12 games and enters the night with a 3.53 ERA/3.65 xFIP. What stands out the most is the matchup vs. the struggling D-backs who have lost 19 of their last 21 games while averaging just 3.1 runs per game and striking our 26% of the time. Lock and load in all formats on DraftKings and he makes a projected low-owned GPP pivot on FanDuel. Catcher/First Base Matt Olson FD - 1B 3900 DK - 1B 5200 Opponent - ARI (Jon Duplantier) Park - OAK FD - 12.38 DK - 9.18 The A's lead all teams in implied runs as of writing this and are easily my favorite team to target on this slate. Not only have they been red-hot lately(.362 wOBA/138 wRC+ last 7 days), they get an elite matchup vs. Jon Duplantier who has given up 11 hits and nine earned runs(4 HR) through his first two starts. For Olson, he comes into the night with a six-game hit streak that includes four multi-hit efforts, three doubles, and two home runs. He is having a...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Tuesday, 6/8/21 The first round of the playoffs was awesome, and we expect an even better second-round. One of those series is getting kicked off here, with Utah hosting Los Angeles. The other matchup on this slate is the Philly-Atlanta game, with the Hawks taking a 1-0 series lead into that Game 2. That means Philly should leave it all on the line here because not many teams have gone down 0-2 at home and prevailed. In any case, there's a lot to talk about from a DFS perspective, so let's go ahead and get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Ben Simmons FD - $8600 DK - $8100 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 43.88 DK - 43.53 Simmons has been a regular in this section throughout the postseason, and it's no surprise when you look at his statistics. The giant point guard has scored at least 35 DraftKings points in every game of this postseason, averaging 15.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, 9.3 assists, and 1.7 steals per game. That stat-stuffing ability makes him even more enticing in a matchup like this, with the Hawks ranked 22nd in defensive efficiency in the regular season. That certainly appeared to be the case in Game 1, with Sim dropping 46 fantasy points despite taking just seven shots. That makes it hard to believe he's barely cracking $8K, especially on such a short slate. Reggie Jackson FD - $4800 DK - $5400 Opponent - UTA Proj Pts FD - 29.18 DK - 30.5 It was a bold move to exile Patrick Beverley from the rotation and ride R-Jax as the starter, but it has definitely been the right move. The talented guard scored at least 21 DraftKings points in the final six games of the Dallas series, averaging nearly 30 fantasy points per game. That's a stupendous total from a guy sitting around $5,000, and one has to believe he'll continue it with his 32-minute average in that same stretch. Utah is definitely a tough matchup, but he'll need to play big minutes to oppose dangerous guards like Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley. Trae Young has been one of the best players in these playoffs and should continue...
