FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Wednesday, 2/5/20
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 2/5/20 The trade deadline got a-rockin' last night with a four-team deal going down between the Rockets, Timberwolves, Hawks and Nuggets. It could have some fantasy impact for tonight's slate. There could be some late moves Wednesday as well and that always causes chaos for DFS purposes. That means players can get pulled in the middle of games and it could also open up some value right before lock.

Point Guard Trae Young FD - $9600 DK - $10100Opponent - MINProj Pts FD - 49.93 DK - 53.16 It's strange that Young hasn't been given the price increase that he deserves. The simple fact is, he is the Atlanta offense. That's evident when you see that he ranks fourth in the NBA with a 33.9 percent usage rate while taking 20.6 shots per game. That's a truly absurd role and it doesn't even take into consideration that he's one of the league leaders with 9.0 assists per game as well. That has led to this 51-point DraftKings average and we absolutely love that sort of role and form against a Minnesota team who ranks 27th in points allowed. In their one meeting this season, Trae dropped 57 fantasy points against them despite shooting below 40 percent from the field. Mike Conley FD - $4300 DK - $5100Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 24.71 DK - 25.57 With Conley being re-inserted into the starting lineup, he remains a nice value until he gets closer to $6,000. We're talking about a guy who's traditionally been a $7,000-player throughout his career and a bunch of injuries has lowered these prices to these enticing numbers. In his return to the starting lineup against Portland on Saturday, Conley collected 34.5 DraftKings points across 30 minutes of action. That's what we expected to see all season and we anticipate him continuing that form at full health. While Denver is certainly a tough matchup, these price tags limit that risk. Reggie Jackson (FD 5000 DK 4900) is coming off a 1-of-16 disaster but remains too cheap with his huge usage. Shooting Guard Spencer Dinwiddie FD - $7000 DK...

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Reggie Jackson FD - $4500 DK - $4700Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 30.59 DK - 31.64 This play is dependent on a couple of different things. The first is that Derrick Rose sits Monday’s game out. He left early in the Denver game on Sunday because of a sore right groin and didn’t return. Th other factor is if the Pistons really have removed the minutes restrictions on Reggie Jackson going forward. I’m a little nervous that Jackson played 34 minutes in the overtime game against the Nuggets but I’m also encouraged that Jackson played 34 minutes in the overtime game against the Nuggets. He led the team with 18 shots and would be one of the slate’s very best bargains on both sites if the two factors above came to fruition. As it stands, I would probably only need to know Rose was out to feel comfortable playing Jackson at these price points. Elfrid Payton FD - $6400 DK - $6500Opponent - CLEProj Pts FD - 36.11 DK - 35.65 Payton sat out Saturday’s game after being suspended because of his role in the scuffle between the Knicks and Grizzlies on Wednesday. But he’s been the running the majority of the point guard minutes for New York, going 32 or more in each of his previous five games with an 11-point, 10-assist, six-rebound average in that timeframe. Because he’s able to add so many different stats across the line, he makes for a safer cash game play in this price tier with a matchup against a bottom third defensive team to boot. If 27+ minutes is the new norm for Dejounte Murray (FD $5300 DK $5200) then he’s starting to look like a cash game play as well with real upside because of the defensive stats.

The DFSR team is back with another DFS NBA cash game podcast for Tuesday's 8 game slate. It's a relatively quiet six game slate of NBA DFS tonight, but it still has plenty of question marks surrounding it, and the DFSR team is here to break it all down. How does Oladipo's return affect the Pacers? Is he playable on FanDuel at $4,000? How can we navigate the Rockets/Trail Blazers game, which has both the highest total AND the greatest uncertainty with the Rockets' "big three" all having missed last game? Thankfully there is some higher floor value lurking in the Memphis/New York game, the Detroit/Brooklyn game, and in San Antonio. Still, there is a lot to discuss, so be sure to tune in and hear Doug and James make sense of it...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Wednesday, 1/29/20
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 1/29/20 We're looking at a short six-gamer for this Wednesday slate which is truly bizarre with Wednesday's typically being one of the biggest days of the week. We actually have a ton of bad defenses on display and that should make for a high-scoring night. With that in mind, let's get into our top DFS 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 Kyrie Irving FD - $9300 DK - $9100Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 48.97 DK - 49.92 This is a tough one simply because of the Kobe Bryant situation. Kyrie Irving sat out the last game on Sunday after Bryant's passing and it's unclear if he'll even suit up here. One would have to believe that he will after practicing on Tuesday though and if he does, we expect him to put on a show with a heavy heart. This is a guy who's been feeling it recently too, averaging 47.2 DraftKings points per game across his last five fixtures. We love that against a Detroit team that ranks 20th in defensive efficiency. We can't argue with the price either, with Irving playing at a $10,000 level throughout the year Chris Paul FD - $7200 DK - $7400Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 39.25 DK - 39.7 It really doesn't make sense why these sites continue to keep Paul below $8,000. This guy has been balling out all season, averaging over 39 DK points per game over his last 27 fixtures. That's no surprise when you see that he's averaging 37 fantasy points per game for the season and that should allow him to cruise right through an 18th-ranked Kings' defense. In their one meeting this season, Paul collected 41.3 DraftKings points, despite shooting just 3-of-9 from the field. If he stuffs the stat sheet like he did then and reaches his typical 17.2 points, Paul could be looking at a 50-point gem. Forget everything we've said here if James Harden sits. If that's the case, Russell Westbrook is the best play on the board. Elfrid Payton is also a nice value in the $6,000-range too. Shooting Guard DeMar DeRozan FD - $7900 DK - $8400Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 41.76...
