Point Guard Kyle Lowry FD - $6600 DK - $7500Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 40.59 DK - 42.88 Lowry didn’t get traded at the deadline, much to the surprise of, well, almost everyone. But the Raptors couldn’t find a deal they liked and decided to keep the best player in franchise history. The plan is to still run him major minutes and he played 35 in a close game against the Suns on Friday even with some foul trouble. This is a short slate and Toronto, who still very much would like to make the playoffs have the best matchup against the Trailblazers and their second-worst defense in the league. Michael Carter-Williams FD - $5300 DK - $6300Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 29.07 DK - 29.82 Carter-Williams didn’t get the start on Friday night for the Magic but it was only because he didn’t feel well at the last second before tip-off. He still came in off the bench when his tum tum started feeling better. The Magic made team-gutting moves at the trade deadline, but didn’t bring back much in the way of guards other than rookie RJ Hampton. I still think there are a lot of minutes for MCW here who averaged 11 points, six assists and five rebounds in *only* 28 minutes last game. The floor is higher for him if he’s starting again and the FanDuel price is a little too cheap. Shooting Guard Fred VanVleet FD - $7400 DK - $7800Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 44.65 DK - 45.29 Like Lowry, there are still a lot of minutes for the Raptors’ starters going forward and Fred VanVleet plays as many minutes as anyone in the league. He’s played 39 or more in four of the last five games and has put up 10+ three-pointers in three of the last four. This is a great matchup against the Blazers who struggle with perimeter defense and FVV has some higher scoring upside in this game. On the shorter slate, it’s tough to face his minutes floor considering the matchup is the best on the slate. C.J. McCollum FD - $7900 DK - $8000Opponent - TORProj Pts FD - 44.31...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Saturday, 3/27/21

Be sure to read our free NBA and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. This Saturday set of games could prove to be very tricky when it comes to injury news. There are a lot of high-profile guys who are questionable as of this writing. I'll try to walk through some of the scenarios to watch out for and how they will affect the slate. Point Guard News we are waiting on Luka Doncic FD - $10800 DK - $10800Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 1.52 DK - 1.59 Jalen Brunson FD - $4800 DK - $4200Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 34.89 DK - 36.38 If Luka Doncic sits out again then Jalen Brunson (FD 4800 DK 4200) is a strong play again at these price points. I know the returns weren’t all that great on Friday, but I’d be happy to go right back in this direction if he got the start for Dallas. Conversely, if Luka Doncic (FD 10800 DK 10800) plays and is given a full bill of health then he is a good play in this matchup at these prices. This is just one of the many wait-and-see issues we are faced with on Saturday. If Kawhi Leonard is out again then Reggie Jackson (FD $4800 DK $4700) and/ or Terance Mann (FD $3900 DK $3900) would be interesting in the starting role. Both started last game, but Marcus Morris sat that one out as well. Tomas Satoransky FD - $4500 DK - $4800Opponent - SAProj Pts FD - 27.97 DK - 28.44 The Bulls are a new-look team now with the addition of Nikola Vucevic and the offense should have even more firepower now. Satoransky has been locked into the starting point guard role for Chicago and playing around 30 minutes when the games right. He’s been good for about 10 points and six assists per game over the last week or so and the assist numbers should be in line to tick up with a more functional offensive big in the mix. Shooting Guard Joe Ingles FD - $5400 DK - $5800Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 30.05 DK - 31.83 Mike Conley is expected to miss this game due to rest on the back-to-back which should have Joe Ingles once again...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Friday 3/26/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Friday, 3/26/21 If you love crazy DFS slates, this is the one for you. We had what felt like a million trades on Thursday, and it makes this the most uncertain slate of the season. We're not quite sure if these new acquisitions are ready to go yet, and you won't know until shortly before the slate commences. That means value will eventually open up, especially with Orlando trading away their entire roster. That's a team to look out for because there could be some great values on that roster in the coming weeks. The only issue is, we're not quite sure what that rotation will look like yet!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard John Wall FD - $8200 DK - $8300 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 44.09 DK - 45.4 The Rockets are beyond terrible, and it's sad because Wall has had a really nice bounceback season for them. Amazingly, the former All-Star has scored at least 33 DraftKings points in 19 of his last 21 games, averaging 40 fantasy points per game in those 19 outings. He's been even better recently, posting a 42-point average over his last six outings while playing 35 minutes a night. That minute total might be the most important thing because it means Wall is no longer hampered by the Achilles injury that knocked him out for a year. The matchup is fantastic, too, with Minnesota ranked 26th in defensive efficiency while owning a 23rd OPRK against opposing point guards. Jordan Poole FD - $6200 DK - $6500 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 37.82 DK - 39.81 Poole has quietly been an amazing player for the Warriors over the last month, and his role continues to expand with Stephen Curry sidelined. That has led to him scoring at least 24 DraftKings points in nine of his 10 games since returning, generating a 32-point average over his last five fixtures. The thing that's made him so valuable is his role, playing 33 minutes a night while attempting over 16 shots a game. Those are rare sites from a $6K player, and his role should continue to be monstrous as long as Chef Curry is cooking at home....
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Thursday 3/25/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Thursday, 3/25/21 Here we are, guys! This marks the NBA trade deadline, and it always makes for one of the craziest slates of the season. That means value will pop off all across the board once some moves are inevitably made but luckily, we only have five games in total. That means two-thirds of the league isn't even suiting up, and that should make things a little calmer on our end in terms of breaking news for DFS purposes. It will be critical to keep an eye on things more than usual, though, so have a fun trade deadline day!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard De'Aaron Fox FD - $8900 DK - $8700 Opponent - GS Proj Pts FD - 42.73 DK - 44.09 Fox has been fantastic for over a month now, and his price has dropped for some reason. Can you figure that out? The speedy point guard has scored at least 28 DraftKings points in 30-straight games, averaging 25.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 8.3 assists, and 1.2 steals per game in that span. That equates to 44 DraftKings points per game which is right on par with our projections. What makes Fox so good is his elite speed, and that's a scary thing here. We say that because Golden State ranks second in pace and 20th in points allowed. That top-notch pace is awful news against the fastest player in the NBA, which was on full display when Fox had 41 DK points against Golden State earlier this year, despite shooting 7-of-17 from the field. Jordan Poole FD - $6200 DK - $6100 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 38.76 DK - 40.81 Poole's price is starting to get up there, but our projections make us believe he should be a $7K player. We say that because he's been performing like that since Stephen Curry went down with an injury. The young guard has scored at least 24 fantasy points in seven of his last eight games, posting a 33-point average since taking over the starting point guard duties. We can't overlook his role, taking at least 15 shots in four-straight games while playing 38 minutes in back-to-back outings. You can't neglect a $6K...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Wednesday 3/24/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 3/24/21 I'm going to take a little bit of a different approach to this article. We have 11 games ahead on this slate, and that makes the player pool extensive. We know you guys understand that Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, Kawhi Leonard, and Trae Young are all elite options, so we're going to zone in on all value plays. We're not going to have a single guy above $7K on either site, and hopefully, it will allow you to fit in at least two of those aforementioned studs into your build. That's what really matters on such a big slate, so let's go ahead and get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Darius Garland FD - $5500 DK - $6600 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 30.67 DK - 32.18 Why the heck is Garland just $5,500 on FanDuel? We're talking about a second-year player who's improved throughout the season, averaging 34 fantasy points per game before his injury. That's not far off from the guy we've seen recently, with Garland posting a 30-point average over his last 12 games played. That makes it hard to believe he's so cheap on FanDuel, and we especially love him in a matchup like this. Chicago currently ranks seventh in pace and 24th in points allowed while allowing some monster performances to opposing point guards recently. Tomas Satoransky FD - $4800 DK - $4600 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 24.91 DK - 25.3 It's almost like these sites don't know that Satoransky is the starting point guard in Chicago right now. They're still pricing him around a bunch of role players when he really should be closer to $6K on both sites. The Czech guard has scored at least 27 DraftKings points in four of his six games since taking over starting duties, averaging 28 fantasy points per game in that span. What makes that even less surprising is that he averaged 25 DK points per game in that role last season, making it hard to believe he remains so cheap. The matchup against Cleveland isn't too shabby either, with the Cavaliers ranked 23rd in defensive efficiency. If you have the salary, look for Luka...
