Point Guard Eric Bledsoe FD - $6000 DK - $5700Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 37.01 DK - 37.73 Well, Giannis Antetokounmpo has already been ruled out for Monday’s game after sitting on Sunday as well and neither site did much in the way of correcting the prices on the other Bucks’ pieces. That means we are looking at massive chalk plays for a few of these guys again on Monday. With Giannis off the court this season Bledsoe spikes to a 31.2% usage rate, the second-highest on the team in that scenario. The assist and rebound rates tick up dramatically as well which makes sense considering the amount of use raw stats that leave the court with the Bucks’ superstar isn’t around. This one is pretty set it and forget it for cash games and I suspect we see Bledsoe as something like a 90%+ play on both sites for Monday. Terry Rozier FD - $5900 DK - $6600Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 34.05 DK - 35.6 The Hornets’ season is effectively over at this point, but they are running their guards quality minutes still and Rozier has played 35+ in each of the last six games. In that span he’s averaging 19 points per game along with four assists. Sure, these aren’t overwhelming numbers but the opponents have been combinations (mostly) of either slow teams or really defensively sound ones. On Monday that won’t be the case when they face Atlanta who sports the third-worst defensive efficiency in the league with the fourth-fastest pace. This is a great buy spot on Rozier whose minutes should keep the floor reasonably high and he isn’t coming at exorbitant prices. If Fred VanVleet remains out you can consider Kyle Lowry (FD $7300 DK $8400). And I do think we could see some ownership on Trae Young (FD $9600 DK $10300). The We Got Nets guys jump on their Brooklyn Nets Podcast to look at the first game without Kenny Atkinson. Shooting Guard Khris Middleton FD - $7000 DK...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Saturday, 3/7/20
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Saturday, 3/7/20 It's rare to see a small Saturday slate but here we are. We actually have just six games in total, with five of them making up the main slate. That means we're going to omit the Houston-Charlotte matchup which means we get to avoid the James Harden chalk with Russell Westbrook out. It does leave the player pool extremely limited with no player above $10,300 on DraftKings but let's go ahead and get into our favorite plays of the day!Head on over a for your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA FanDuel and DraftKings optimizer, our NFL Optimizer and NHL Projections as well.

Point Guard Ja Morant FD - $6900 DK - $6800Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 37.37 DK - 38.49 The Rookie of the Year frontrunner has a ton of motivation right now. Not only does he have Zion Williamson storming up behind him for that award, Morant is also in charge of holding on to the eight-seed in the west, That's a lot to put on a kid's shoulders but his 17.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game averages show that he's up to the task. His numbers have been even better recently, scoring at least 28 DraftKings points in five-straight while averaging 37 fantasy points per game in that span. That's even more intriguing when you consider the fact that Atlanta ranks 28th in defensive efficiency and 29th in points allowed. Mike Conley FD - $5400 DK - $4900Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 25.49 DK - 26.48 These price tags are truly insulting. While Conley did get off to a terrible start, he's been a different player since returning from injury. In fact, Conley has at least 28 DraftKings points in 10 of his 11 games since re-entering the starting lineup. That's the guy that we became accustomed to in Memphis and it's clear that he's finally starting to find his form with his new team. The matchup against Detroit is nice too, with the Pistons ranked 21st in defensive efficiency. All of that means he should be north of $6,000 and it's hard to understand how he's below $5,000 on DK. Jeff Teague (FD $3800 DK $3900) would be a great option if Trae Young (sickness) is out again. Shooting Guard Bogdan Bogdanovic FD - $5100 DK...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Friday, 3/6/20 Head on over a for your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA FanDuel and DraftKings optimizer, our NFL Optimizer and NHL Projections as well.

Point Guard Trae Young FD - $9900 DK - $9900Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 53.14 DK - 58.02 The Hawks have played in blowouts in two of the last three games (one in their favor, one not so much) leading to reduced minutes for Young in the short-term. That’s also led to the price stagnating and now he gets an awesome matchup against the Wizards in what projects to be a breakneck, up and down game. These are the fourth and sixth-fastest paced teams in the league this season and there’s a reason the total on this game is through the roof. Young is averaging just a hair under 30 points a game this season with nine assists and in closer games 37 to 38 minutes sure seems like the plan for the second-year volume shooter. I suspect Trae has higher ownership on this slate that could have a lot of cheaper value considering the injury news around some of the other teams. T.J. McConnell FD - $3800 DK - $4000Opponent - CHIProj Pts FD - 26.67 DK - 26.55 Aaron Holiday FD - $3700 DK - $4000Opponent - CHIProj Pts FD - 26.26 DK - 27.1 Malcolm Brogdon has already been labeled as doubtful for Friday’s game after leaving Wednesday’s game early with a knee issue. Combine that with Victor Oladipo having sat out the last couple of games and questionable for Friday as well. That could leave a great many guard minutes up for grabs for the Pacers against the Bulls. McConnell stepped in against the Bucks on Wednesday and played 30 minutes after Brogdon left the game. The former finished with 14 points, six assists and four rebounds along with a couple of steals. If he drew the start for Brogdon he’d be an excellent value play. Meanwhile, Holiday has been starting for Oladipo over the last couple of games for Oladipo and would be in line of the start again if the former sat again. Both guys are coming on the cheaper side and would make for a high floor stack in cash (relative to price) with the amount of minutes they could be playing. Shooting...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Wednesday, 3/4/20
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 3/4/20 This time of the year is crazy. There are so many injuries and a stupid amount of questionable decisions made by coaches. That causes mayhem in terms of DFS and we'll try our best to sort it out for you here. With that in mind, let's get into our favorite plays of the day!Head on over a for your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA FanDuel and DraftKings optimizer, our NFL Optimizer and NHL Projections as well.

Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $10400 DK - $10900Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 58.92 DK - 63.41With some significant injury news around other teams on this slate, there's potentially going to be a lot of cheap value at other positions. And that lines up real well with being able to pay up for Luka Doncic on this slate. He gets a dream matchup against the Pelicans who run a super-fast pace and aren't all that adept on defense as evidenced by the 139 points the Timberwolves put up just last night. Luka's price is down some in the short term with the ankle injury causing him to miss a game and some lower fantasy outputs over the last week or so. But that's fine, it just makes him a pretty easy buy and the big money play to lock into cash games on both sites. Ja Morant FD - $6700 DK - $7200Opponent - BKNProj Pts FD - 38.31 DK - 39.42 Morant has established himself as the frontrunner for Rookie of the Year and he'll be going full force from here on out with Zion Williamson right on his tail. That's not the only motivation for Morant, as he's also trying to hold on to that eight-seed in the west too. That should lead to big usage and even bigger minutes which has already been on the rise because of the injuries to Brandon Clarke and Jaren Jackson Jr. That's evident when you see that Ja is averaging 38 DraftKings points per game over his last four fixtures. Not to mention, Brooklyn owns a 26th OPRK against opposing point guards according to DK. Collin Sexton FD - $5700 DK - $6600Opponent - BOSProj Pts FD - 33.09 DK - 34.29 Sexton has quietly had a great season for the Cavs and it's hard to understand...

Point Guard Shake Milton FD - $5700 DK - $6300Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 32 DK - 33.06 The Sixers have been through hell with injuries in the short term with them losing Ben Simmons (no timetable) and then Joel Embiid and now Josh Richardson will sit with a concussion. That’s meant losses in two of the last three but also led to the emergence of Shake Milton as a legit fantasy option. In the last three games Milton has been scoring machine averaging 29 points and five assists per game. He took 20 shots against the Clippers and that number could sustain considering Philly is really short on legit scoring options at this point. This is a bad matchup against the Lakers, but Milton isn’t priced up enough considering the uptick in usage and the Sixers’ woes. De'Aaron Fox FD - $7500 DK - $8000Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 41.7 DK - 42.06 The Kings have won five in a row and are still in the discussion (kind of) for a playoff berth in the Western Conference. On Tuesday they draw a fantastic matchup against Washington who rank as the second worst defensive efficiency in the league this season while also playing a top-six pace. Fox, unlike some other point guards is a little more scoring dependent but the pace-up matchup should lend itself to volume shooting. That being said, there is at least some risk here because the Kings haven’t pressed his minutes beyond 33 in the last two weeks. But he should have a high floor because of the context. If Fred VanVleet remains out then Kyle Lowry (FD 6900 DK 8100) is still in play for cash games. Shooting Guard Devin Booker FD - $7500 DK - $8300Opponent - TORProj Pts FD - 42.29 DK - 44.6 The Suns are without Kelly Oubre and that’s led, in some part, to a ton of minutes in the short term for Booker who’s played 38 or more in four of the last five games. That being said, with defenses focusing a bit more on the Suns’ star the usage hasn’t been there in the way we would...
