We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Tomas Satoransky FD - $3800 DK - $3300 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 29.68 DK - 29.57 Welcome to NBA Saturday! We have eight games on the slate tonight and plenty of news to analyze. We'll jump right in with the Wizards, who have frequented the injury report on the daily as of late. John Wall is officially doubtful as we stand, and is fully expected to sit this one out on the second leg of a back to back. If he does, we know exactly what to expect. Satoransky will play 35+ minutes and be a huge part of the offense. He's also absurdly cheap on both sites, making him close to a must play in cash games. The Hornets are a middle of the road match-up and Kemba Walker will likely struggle with the size of Satoransky. He has a ton of upside and at his price, I can't recommend fading him in either cash games or tournaments. With that said, point guard is always plentiful and anything can happen on the second leg of a back to back. Trae Young FD - $6600 DK - $6200 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 33.38 DK - 34.99 Young has been over thirty minutes in two of the last three games and things have been looking up for him in general. He now draws a match-up against the Cavaliers, who rank 25th against opposing point guards. Collin Sexton is a terrible individual defender and the Cavs as a whole rank in the bottom 10 defensively. They give up a ton of open perimeter shots. Trae Young doesn't have anyone to compete with for shots and he'll shoot 15+ if hot. With a 218 over/under and 4 point spread, Young should get another 30 minutes in this one. His price is solid on both sites and you're really not worried much about him being the reason you lose. Let's look at another savings option. Emmanuel Mudiay FD - $5800 DK - $5700 Opponent - UTA Proj Pts FD - 33.37 DK - 34.19 Emmanuel Mudiay is seeing 30+ minutes in just about every single game and is very reliable at...

Check out Wednesday's DFS plays for DraftKings and FanDuel Suns (5) vs. Magic (-5) DFSR Projected Score:Suns: 112.48 - Magic: 112.81 Vegas Projected Score: Suns: 102.75 - Magic: 107.75 DFSR Projected Total: 225.29 Vegas Over/Under: 210.5 DFSR Suggested Bet(s) Suns Over 102.75 Suns +5 Suns +170 Magic/ Suns Over 210.5 Since Devin Booker came back from injury, the Suns have scored more than 102 points in every game with the only *close* one being the second half of the back-to-back following the triple-OT game against the Wizards (and they put up 103). The key to the Suns covering these totals is that Booker and Warren are playing major minutes each, allowing for multiple scorers on the floor at almost all times for Phoenix. The numbers are thrown off a little in the short term because of those two crazy games against Washington and Brooklyn but the fact remains that these two offer plenty of ways for a flawed Phoenix team to pile on points. Meanwhile, though Orlando plays a slow pace (99.9, fourth slowest in the league) they are a middle of the pack defensive team. The pace of play on the Orlando side is what’s driving down the totals here. But what also could be affecting things is a short-term Magic run of games in which they’ve played a run of games against similarly slow teams. In fact, over their last nine games, Orlando has played only one team ranked in the top half of the league in pace. It’s been a slow, plodding run of late. It’s also worth noting here, that Trevor Ariza had basically the team’s worst net rating (-13.4) and thing improve rather dramatically with him off the court for the Suns this season. With him gone to Washington, freeing up minutes for Mikal Bridges (+8 net rating), Josh Jackson (1.4) and really anyone else, the team is much better on offense.

We've got you completely covered. Magic (-3.5) vs. Bulls (+3.5) DFSR Projected Score:Magic: 108.78 - Bulls: 93.19Vegas Projected Score: Magic: 103.5 - Bulls: 100DFSR Projected Total: 201.97Vegas Over/Under: 203.5DFSR Suggested Bet(s)Magic -3.5Magic -160 I'm not sure what to say about this one, to be honest. Orlando is 14-16 with a -3.9 point differential on the season, and Chicago is 7-25 with a -10.6 point differential. Orlando is still doing their best to win games, and Chicago is doing their best to acquire lottery balls. To go a little deeper, though, it can be helpful to try and figure out how and where teams are putting up their points. On the Orlando side, Nikola Vucevic is going to be returning from paternity leave, and he'll be running up against a Chicago team that's allowed the 2nd most fantasy points to opposing centers. Our system is going to give a little boost to Orlando since their best offensive player will go up against Chicago's weakest defensive link. Chicago has been a hair better at home this year, but the mismatch down low should more than account for that. Our system actually sees some blowout risk going Orlando's way here, and I've bet the Magic with the points and the money line. Jazz (2) vs. Trail Blazers (-2) DFSR Projected Score:Jazz: 105.87 - Trail Blazers: 116.38Vegas Projected Score: Jazz: 106 - Trail Blazers: 108DFSR Projected Total: 222.25Vegas Over/Under: 213DFSR Suggested Bet(s)Portland -2Over 213 We talked about this on today's podcast, but Utah's defensive reputation now officially outstrips reality. After years of being one of the 5 slowest teams in the league with the 5 best defenses, the Jazz have settled in as the 18th fastest team and the owners of the 8th best defense. Portland is playing a bottom 10 pace, but they pair that with a bottom 10 defensive efficiency. All this to say - these aren't great match-ups, but they aren't awful either. Utah has become something of a public team when it comes to betting the under, this game is kind of the inverse of the Chicago/Orlando game. Utah's most oppressive defender is Rudy Gobert, who can shut down bigs with ease. Portland doesn't really do a whole lot offensively down low, so his...
