It's just a four game slate of NFL DFS action on FanDuel and DraftKings, but there are still a lot of interesting decisions to make. With Joel Embiid out for the Sixers, which of the remaining players should show up in our cash game lineups? Is something up with Al Horford? Is Ben Simmons a must? There's a lot to break down. There's a lot of sneaky DFS value in the Cleveland/Detroit game, which is a rematch of their Tuesday meeting. In that game Love, Drummond, and Rose were excellent. Should we go back to the well? You have the ever-questionable Karl-Anthony Towns, CP3 and Russ going against their old teams, and more! For just four games, there sure is a lot to talk...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 1/8/20 The last couple of Wednesdays have been bizarre because of the holidays but we're back at it here with a normal slate. In fact, we have nine games ahead of us here, making for a dynamo DFS day. One thing to consider is that we have a lot of lopsided matchups on this slate. That's evident when you take a look at the spreads, with numerous elite teams facing off with some of the weaker clubs in the NBA. With that in mind, let's go ahead and get into it!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 - $9000 DK - $9700Opponent - HOUProj Pts FD - 52.24 DK - 55.25 Many people will pivot to Harden and rightfully so, but Young is quietly one of the best plays on the board too. We're talking about a guy who's averaging 49.3 DK points per game, one of the league leaders in minutes played, usage rate and shots taken. That's a recipe for success in a matchup like this with the Rockets surrendering the third-most fantasy points to opposing point guards this season. That was certainly the case in their last meeting, with Young dropping 52.3 DK points in just 31 minutes of play.  Lonzo Ball FD - $6300 DK - $7400Opponent - CHIProj Pts FD - 35.92 DK - 37.21 Ball was a huge disappointment early on but he's really hit his stride recently. Not only has he scored at least 38 DK points in four-straight games, Ball is also averaging 47 fantasy points per game in that span. That's a truly ridiculous total from a guy who's just $6,300 on FanDuel and it would be hard to imagine that not continuing with Jrue Holiday missing this game. We don't hate the matchup either, as this should be a competitive game between two sub-par teams in one of the most up-tempo matchups of the evening.  We also like Kyle Lowry against a 27th-ranked Hornets defense with seemingly every other Toronto player injured.  Shooting Guard James Harden FD - $11200 DK - $12800Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 63.24 DK - 66.02 Harden is the most expensive player on the slate and I'd argue that...

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Aaron Holiday FD - $5600 DK - $5800 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 31.2 DK - 32.13 Malcolm Brogdon remains out for the Pacers which means we can continue to count on a healthy helping of Aaron Holiday in the Indiana backcourt. Holiday has started two straight, and seven of the last eight for the Pacers and in that time he has averaged nearly a fantasy point per minute in just under 30 minutes average per game. The Hornets are a slightly above average matchup for opposing point guards, but this game is expected to remain competitive throughout, so I'm not overly concerned about a less than ideal matchup. As long as Holiday can keep himself out of foul trouble he should see more than enough time to get us where we want to be in cash games. J.J. Barea FD - $4200 DK - $4500 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 26.87 DK - 28.79 One minute it looked like J.J. Barea, fresh off a torn Achilles, was going to be riding the pine for much of the season with just the occasional appearance off the bench, but with the recent loss of Tim Hardaway to a hamstring injury, Barea has started two straight contests for the Mavs and has looked quite good doing so. In 32 minutes against the Hornets on Saturday Barea came an assist shy of a double-double and had his second straight game scoring at least ten points. THJ is listed as questionable and could be close to a return so keep an eye on the situation, but if Barea remains in the starting five for Dallas, he is sitting at an optimal price even against a stingy Chicago defense. Consider Kris Dunn (FD $5000 DK $4900) and Tomas Satoransky (FD $5400 DK $5500) on the other side of...

DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings Plays for Thursday 1/2/20 The guys are breaking down an atypically big Thursday slate of action on their DFS NBA Podcast for FanDuel and DraftKings. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA, NFL and NHL optimizers and our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! We have an oddly large 9 game slate of NBA games tonight, and the DFSR team is here to break down every single game on the slate. Tonight is an odd one, because it blends a sea of great cheap options (mostly from the Minnesota-Golden State game) with very few big money plays to go with them. As a result, Luka Doncic is a heavy favorite to be nearly unanimously owned. After the obvious plays from Minnesota and Golden State, though, things do get a bit more difficult. How much can we trust the minutes from the Clippers/Pistons game, where the Clippers are favored by 12? Andre Drummond has played 36+ minutes in back to back games where the Pistons got blown out, but is that really sustainable? Going the other way, Paul George, Lou Williams, and Kawhi Leonard are great plays if they can get their full rotation of minutes, but how likely is that? All in all, it promises to be a weird one. Make sure to join Doug and James to hear their...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 1/1/20 Welcome to 2020 everyone! I can’t imagine this year could be any better than the year before, but we’ll give it a shot. Let’s get into a shorter Wednesday slate for FanDuel and DraftKings. 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. Plus our new player lab!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Elfrid Payton FD - $5900 DK - $6100Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 33.45 DK - 33.29 It’s been a weird (terrible) season for the Knicks all around, but they do at least seem to be committed to Payton as the point guard answer in the short term. The Dennis Smith and Frank Ntilikina relative experiments have been put by the wayside for the time being. Payton’s posted more than 27 minutes in each of the last four games with an average of seven points, 8.5 assists, and six assists with some steals and blocks thrown in there. None of the individual categories standout but as the sum of his fantasy parts, he’s a good play if he maintains the minutes. I think that’s the plan at least in the short term with the Knicks on an unheard of two-game win streak. Markelle Fultz FD - $5300 DK - $5100Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 27.75 DK - 27.68 Look, I know the fantasy results have been, well, lacking over the last two games with Fultz scoring only three and four points respectively and not contributing a whole of a lot over the rest of the box score. But then there’s the part where he played 31 and 30 minutes in each and you have to wonder when the stat line catches up with that kind of opportunity. I tend to think those last two games were outliers in what we can expect from him with this kind of run. He isn’t a fantasy dynamo, but this is too good spot to pass up. Washington has, by far, the worst defensive efficiency in the league and play at a super fast pace. This is the perfect spot to run this guy out in cash. Shooting Guard Evan Fournier FD - $5900 DK - $6200Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 36.65 DK - 38.25 Aaron Gordon is listed as questionable for this game, but judging by...
