Point Guard/ Shooting Guard CJ McCollum FD - $7500 DK - $7200Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 38.77 DK - 41.55 It didn’t work out great for the Pelicans the other night against the Jazz when they were effectively blown out in Utah and the starters lost minutes in the fourth quarter. But I still think we can be on McCollum here with Brandon Ingram out of the lineup and the Pels now missing Jose Alvarado as well. CJ has struggled shooting in a bad way over the last couple of weeks, but that’s due for a regression and the price has dropped because the scoring hasn’t been there. But he’s simply too cheap for this kind of opportunity. Chris Paul FD - $8200 DK - $8200Opponent - LACProj Pts FD - 41.27 DK - 43.96M Landry Shamet FD - $4000 DK - $1000Opponent - LACProj Pts FD - 23.64 DK - 26.1M The Suns come into this game even more shorthanded than before. They were already missing Devin Booker who is still on the shelf and now they will be without Cameron Payne coming off the bench in the backcourt as well. It’s turned into something of a mess for Phoenix who’ve lost five straight and are really struggling right now. This matchup isn’t the best on the slate against the Clippers, but the opportunity is just high enough for the Suns guards. Chris Paul has had his minutes pushed in the short-term even in games that have gotten out of hand and he took 17 shots last time out, though he struggled from the field. I’m fine going back here even with the price climbing. And then there is Landry Shamet who started last game at the two guard and ended up playing 32 minutes in total. He took 13 shots, a welcome sign for the usage considering he really needs to score in order to hit value. The price is low enough and the minutes should be high enough to consider him as a punt play in cash especially with the Suns so very thin at guard right now. With Jose Alvarado out, Dyson Daniels could see more...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 12/14/22 That Lakers-Celtics game was spectacular on Tuesday night. Seeing games like those always has me excited to write these articles because it reminds you how special this sport can be. Seeing the best athletes in the world playing my favorite sport is a fantastic feeling, and I'm sure you guys feel the same way if you're reading this! We have another 10 games here, so let's get started with the point guards!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard D'Angelo Russell FD - $7300 DK - $7600 Opponent - LAC Proj Pts FD - 40.09 DK - 41.16 Russell has been incredible since Karl-Anthony Towns went down, and it's hard to understand why he's not above $8K on both sites. The former All-Star has scored at least 33 DraftKings points in 10 straight games while flirting with a 40-point average in that span. That's the stud we saw in his Brooklyn days, but it's no surprise since he's seeing a massive boost in usage, minutes, and shot attempts in the absence of KAT. Facing the Clippers used to be concerning, but Russell has at least 34 DraftKings points in five of his last six matchups with Los Angeles. Jordan Goodwin FD - $5200 DK - $5600 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 34.88 DK - 33.63 Washington has been obliterated by injuries once again, but it's made Goodwin a fantasy-relevant option. Bradley Beal, Monte Morris, Delon Wright, and Kristaps Porzingis are all nicked up right now, forcing JG into a 35-minute role as the starting point guard. Over his last three games, Goodwin is generating a 37-point average across 36 minutes a night. That's the production you usually see from a $7K player, and it's right on par with our projections. Denver is far from a devastating matchup, with the Nuggets ranked 27th in defensive efficiency ratings this season. Jordan Poole (FD $6700 DK $7800) is averaging nearly 40 fantasy points per game as a starter this season and could see an expanded role if some of these starters are rested in the second half of a back-to-back set. Shooting Guard Tyler Herro FD - $7700 DK - $8100 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 38.28 DK - 40.01 We would...

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/ Shooting Guard Chris Paul FD - $7200 DK - $6200Opponent - HOUProj Pts FD - 41.99 DK - 43.77 With Devin Booker still out for the Suns, we are going to want to load up on some other Phoenix pieces on this slate for cash. They draw the Rockets, still one of the best DFS matchups around and there is now a lot of usage left on the table with the star out. Paul jumps to the top of the list for obvious reasons and the only real concern here is a minutes ceiling as he works his way back from injury. But he played 34 in each of the last two games, averaging 15 points and nine assists in that span. I do think that’s on the low end of the expected production and his price is kind of a joke on both sites. CJ McCollum FD - $7500 DK - $6900Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 38.89 DK - 41.72 The Pelicans are going to be at least one more game with Brandon Ingram, leaving at least for this one, considerable usage for McCollum in the offense. He gets a great matchup against a Utah Jazz team playing the 5th-worst defensive efficiency in the league and running an above-average pace. CJ has taken 16 and 24 shots respectively in the last two games after seeing that number around 11 for the three previous games. It’s unreasonable to expect those shot attempts to stay so low going forward and I think we are buying at a great price because of it. James Harden FD - $9700 DK - $9700Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 48.46 DK - 52.14 Some of the plays on this slate are underpriced and we could be able to fit some superstar-level plays across the board if things break just right. Harden is one of those dudes who’s coming just a bit too cheap. He’s back to playing full minutes, running 38 in regulation last time out after two overtime affairs in the previous two games. In that time, he’s averaging 23 points and almost 12 assists. He’s been terribly inefficient from the field,...

Guards Damian Lillard FD - $9700 DK - $10200 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 44.76 DK - 47.33 The price has reached a point where we have to pick our spots with Lillard, which is most definitely one of them. These teams meet for the second time in three nights after hitting the over on Saturday with a handful of players providing excellent PTS/$ value. For Lillard, he put up 22 shot including 11 from behind the arc and ended up with 50+ fantasy points for the second straight game. The Timberwolves are only slightly below average defensively(18th) but run fast(3rd in pace) and have given up the second-most fantasy points to the guard position. This is a great spot for Lillard and he is my top guard in all formats. Kyrie Irving FD - $8700 DK - $8700 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 42.54 DK - 45.54 The Nets seemed to have put their drama-filled and poor start behind them and their recent success has in large part been thanks to their superstars. Kyrie has been playing some of his best basketball of the season recently shooting over 55% on 45 shots over the last two games while dropping 33 points in each along with 16 rebounds and 12 assists which has also led to 50+ fantasy-point performances in both. He and the Nets now face a Wizards team that is short Bradley Beal and possibly Monte Morris and has really struggled lately losing nine of their last 10. At these sub $9K prices, Kyrie is in play for me in all formats tonight. Caris LeVert FD - $5500 DK - $5000 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 34.1 DK - 37.53 This one is a bit speculative as we will be waiting on the Donovan Mitchell news to make the final decision but if he misses his third straight game, Levert is once again a top PTS/$ play in our system. He started each of the last two games and saw a huge usage boost taking 21 and 22 shots and not only dropped 22 points in each but also added 10 rebounds and 10 assists, as well. If starting, he is massively underpriced on both sites and a lock in all formats. If Mitchell does make his return, I will consider him with...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 12/11/22 It's been a strange week of basketball. If you played that Saturday slate, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Teams like Brooklyn and Utah rested almost every player in the rotation, and both of those clubs played competitive outings. There's always a ton of value in circumstances like that, but it's impossible to know that until hours before tip. That's why it's up to you guys to zone in on injury reports because things change quickly in this racket. That's why these articles are a baseline for you and why they should be a building block in your extensive research that needs to be done before submitting lineups!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Trae Young FD - $9700 DK - $10400 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 55.51 DK - 59.71 Young has had a "down" year by his standards, but he's still averaging 28 points and 10 assists per game. That's why he's a perennial All-Star and why he's one of the best options with Dejounte Murray sidelined. That's forcing Young into a monster role, posting a 42 percent usage rate with Murray off the floor. That would be the highest rate in the NBA, which is scary since he's averaging 1.6 DK points per minute in those circumstances. That would equate to 65 DraftKings points if he plays 40 minutes, which is incredible since Trae tallied 65 fantasy points in his most recent matchup with the Bulls. Davion Mitchell FD - $4000 DK - $3800 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 25.26 DK - 25.66 If De'Aaron Fox misses this game, Mitchell is the best value play on the board. It's rare to find a starting point guard at $4,000, especially one who's always been productive when given the opportunity. Davion has started in 21 games at point guard since the start of last season, averaging 33 fantasy points per game across 37 minutes a night. You usually see production like that from a $7K player, and it's hard to understand why Mitchell remains so cheap. Facing the Knicks is the best part of this, though, with New York owning a 27th OPRK against opposing point guards this season. If Fox is out,...
