We've got four of the NBA's six worst defenses playing tonight and a lot of big-name studs going up against them.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $10900 DK - $12600 Opponent - GS Proj Pts FD - 57.76 DK - 62.11 Luka Doncic has hit a bit of a skid. When talking about Doncic however, the thing to consider is that a skid for him would still be a career night for many other NBAers. While he's still posting a double-double every game, scoring no fewer than 19 points on a given night, and stuffing the stat sheet until it bursts, Doncic has failed to pay value in three straight contests. This has brought his FanDuel price down to earth a bit. This could not come at a better time as Doncic and the Mavs head west for a game against the hapless Warriors. Golden State is a bottom dweller not only in the standings, but also defensively against opposing point guards. This is an excellent time to take a chance on Luka, who should dominate tonight, crushing value on FanDuel, and though the DraftKings price is up there, the matchup warrants exposure across the industry. Patrick Beverley FD - $5100 DK - $5300 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 32.32 DK - 31.74 Since we kicked this thing off with a top tier stud, let's balance the point with a bit of value, shall we? Patrick Beverley dominated the aforementioned Warriors on Friday night ending the night an assist shy of a triple-double in 35 minutes of run time. His stat line returned to normal against the Nuggets on Sunday, but tonight he has an opportunity to feast on the NBA's weakest point defense when the Cavaliers come into L.A. Cleveland is top five in raw points, assists, blocks and steals allowed to opposing points. Our NBA...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Monday, 1/13/20 It's Monday night in the NBA. We've got seven games on the schedule, and it seems as though the whole Association is questionable to play tonight. LeBron James, Domantas Sabonis, Anthony Davis, Malcolm Brogdon, and Jrue Holiday are just some of the question marks. With that in mind, we're going to give you some safe plays to consider at each position and follow up with one or two potential options who should come into play if they're called into action. Let's break it on down. 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 Lonzo Ball FD - $6300 DK - $6900 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 40.76 DK - 42.11 Ball came an assist shy of a triple-double Saturday night in Boston, snagging a season-high 13 rebounds in the process. It was his second straight double-double and his fourth in his last seven contests, a stretch during which he's managed to pay at least 6X PPD (points per dollar) in all but one game. At this point, it seems Ball is a lock to pick up at least 30 minutes per game, and he remains underpriced across the industry. On a night with so much uncertainty, Ball feels like a sure thing for your cash game needs. Derrick Rose FD - $6900 DK - $6700 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 38.42 DK - 39.01 If you haven't been paying attention, you may not have noticed that Derrick Rose has been looking quite sharp out there lately. He's riding a streak of five straight games scoring 20+ points, and since January 1st he's scored 1.31 fantasy points per minute in just about 30 minutes per game. This has brought his price up in the short term, but in a pace up contest against the Pelicans who allow the fourth-most fantasy soring to opposing point guards, Rose should have little trouble paying value even at a slightly inflated cost. Consider Ben Simmons (FD $8200 DK $8200), he vanished in the second half the other night against the Mavericks, but still managed to pay off 5.5X PPD, and will continue to be the heart of the Sixers game plan while Joel Embiid remains out.

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 1/12/20 Sunday in the Association gives us a two-game afternoon slate and then an early start on the evening main slate. Let’s take a look at some cash NBA plays for FanDuel and DraftKings.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Trae Young FD - $10200 DK - $10300Opponent - BKNProj Pts FD - 50.65 DK - 54.03 These teams played back on December 21st and Trae casually dropped 47 points, eight rebounds and six assists in the 122-112 loss. Atlanta is used to losing, that isn’t anything new, but Young gets his run and shots up almost regardless. Over his last five games, since returning from the ankle injury he’s averaging 37 minutes per game with 32 points and nine assists on more than 21 shot per game. The usage and volume are among the highest in the league and there’s a lot of safety in that especially against a team like the Nets who are likely to pick up the pace with Kyrie Irving reentering the mix. There are plenty of cheaper options on this short Sunday slate so paying up for Young here isn’t going to be too cost prohibitive. JA Morant FD - $7500 DK - $7400Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 36.67 DK - 37.81 This has already been a fairly crazy NBA season and now we get a Memphis team who, after a win over the Spurs on Friday, are the freaking eighth seed in the West. You read that correctly, if the playoffs started today the Grizzlies would be in the playoffs. It’s nuts. But because of the recent run, they’ve let the leash off of Morant and he’s 31 or more minutes in three of the last five games. In the last two he’s averaged 19 shots, scoring 23 points, dishing out 10 assists and putting in five rebounds. I think we continue to see Memphis just give this thing a go considering the state of the West and that should mean a consistently high floor for Morant. Shooting Guard Lou Williams FD - $6400 DK - $6500Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 33.93 DK - 35.41 Paul George will continue missing time, leaving plenty of shots to go...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Saturday, 1/11/20 With Minnesota and Houston playing an early game, we have six games making up the main slate. The thing that makes today interesting is all of the injuries. Players like Joel Embiid, Blake Griffin, Anthony Davis and Kristaps Porzingis are all sitting out, forcing us to pay up in the front court. With that in mind, let's get started with some back court players and work our way to those high-end big men. 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 Kemba Walker FD - $7000 DK - $7600Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 38.47 DK - 39.97 One flukey thing that these DFS sites algorithms do is lower a player's price after a dud. What it doesn't take into consideration is how that dud happened. An ejection in the second quarter is what's made Walker such a good value here and it's hard to understand why he's so cheap. If you take out that one outlier, Walker is averaging 38 FanDuel points per game across his last 16 outings. That's the production of an $8,500 player on FD. The brilliant matchup is simply a bonus, with the Pelicans surrendering the second-most fantasy points to opposing point guards this season.  Tomas Satoransky FD - $5000 DK - $5500Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 29.34 DK - 29.2 Sato is also coming off a dud in his most recent game and that's lowered his prices to these extremely enticing numbers. Foul trouble is what led to his ugly outing but he was brilliant before that. In fact, Satoransky averaged 31.7 DraftKings points over his previous nine games played. What we really like is that he played 34 minutes a game in that span, establishing himself as the primary point guard for this volatile rotation. We're certainly not worried about Detroit either, with the Pistons sitting 22nd in defensive efficiency.  Also considered: Derrick Rose. Shooting Guard Josh Richardson FD - $6100 DK - $6400Opponent - DALProj Pts FD - 29.42 DK - 29.63 This is the first of many Sixers in this article and it's easy to understand why. With Joel Embiid out for the next few weeks, all of these guys remain great values. We're talking about a big...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Friday, 1/10/20 Welcome, DFSRNation! You've hustled and grinded all week and now get to reap the rewards of a ten-game slate of NBA action to kick off the weekend. Our own Jerry Vanderwoude is ready to break down the top plays at each position as determined by our famous NBA projection system, so brace yourself as we get set to do it to it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Lonzo Ball FD - $6400 DK - $7300Opponent - NYProj Pts FD - 37.25 DK - 38.5 Lonzo Ball is coming to us as a tremendous value at the point. Since returning to the starting five, Lonzo's price has jumped across the industry but there is still plenty of room for growth when you consider the most recent production he's been creating. Ball has started eight straight games and in that time has averaged nearly 36 fantasy points per game eclipsing the 40 point mark three times in his last five starts. For that, he should easily be priced closer to the $8K mark. The Knicks are average defending against the position, so the match-up is nothing to fret over. All in all, it's a buyers market on Ball, and I will be all in with my cash games. Ricky Rubio FD - $6600 DK - $6900Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 35.65 DK - 36.4 Ricky Rubio has hit a bit of a scoring slump over the Suns' last several games, failing to hit double digits in four straight. He's been playing through some ailments, so that could be factoring into play, but he continues to be a steady source of production regardless, dishing out several assists per game while mixing in the rebounds and steals for good measure. In the short term with his scoring woes, Rubio's price has dropped across the industry. This creates appeal in a game against the Magic with a combined pace factor of 102.5 and an opening line favoring Phoenix by just two points. Rubio is priced perfectly for our cash game needs, and if he manages to find his shot he's a threat to crush over 6.5X points per dollar (PPD), so don't be shy to run with Ricky...
