FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Tuesday 4/9/19   The last few NBA weeks have been difficult to figure out but this slate has some clarity to it. With Monday being an off day for all 30 teams, there have been numerous injuries already released. That has opened up the door for tons of value and it makes for a fascinating slate. There’s one game we’re going to be focused on, as Boston will be without half of their roster. Finding the right combination of Boston players and matching it with a couple of studs will undoubtedly be the optimal lineup and hopefully, these recommendations will help weed it out.     Head on over a for your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA FanDuel and DraftKings optimizer, our MLB Optimizer, and our new player lab!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Damian Lillard FD - $9100 DK - $9300Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 55.26 DK - 57.34 With Portland battling for playoff positioning, Lillard has absolutely taken over this team. In fact, Lillard is averaging 20 shots and 36 minutes per game across his last 13 fixtures while posting a usage rate close to 30 percent. It shows in his fantasy numbers, with Lillard averaging 47 DK points per game across his last 16 outings. That role and production is hard to fade when you consider the fact that he plays a Lakers team who ranks 21st in total defense while playing at the fourth-fastest pace in the NBA. In three games against Los Angeles this season, Lillard is averaging 52 fantasy points per game.    Brad Wanamaker FD - $3500 DK - $3200Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 28.36 DK - 29.47 Terry Rozier FD - $6000 DK - $5200Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 29.29 DK - 29.92 With Kyrie Irving, Marcus Smart and Gordon Hayward missing this game, that should leave all the ball-handling duties to these two. Rozier has been fantastic when starting for Irving, as he’s averaging 31 DK points per game in those starts dating back to last year. Wanamaker is no joke either, as he’s averaging about 0.9 DK points per-minute this season. With all of these guys out, that means Wanamaker could be looking at 25 minutes of action, which would equate to 23 DK points at that rate. Getting 23 DK points at $3,300 is a heck of a value and it’s going to...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Elfrid Payton FD - $7200 DK - $7100 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 36.34 DK - 36.97 It's been a nightmare season for the Pelicans but Elfrid Payton has been a huge bright spot for them. What's really made him special is the fact that everyone on this roster is injured, with Anthony Davis, Frank Jackson, Jrue Holiday and E'Twaun Moore expected to miss this game. Not only does that guarantee minutes for Payton, but it also guarantees heavy usage. It shows in his fantasy production, with Payton averaging 36 DK points per game across his last 11 outings. His upside has been incredible too, with Payton scoring at least 51 fantasy points five times in that stretch. The matchup is simply the icing on the cake, with Phoenix ranking 29th in defensive efficiency while allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing PG's this season. That's evident by the fact that Payton is averaging 47 DK points per game in two meetings with the Suns this season. Emmanuel Mudiay FD - $6500 DK - $7000 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 35.51 DK - 36.78 With Dennis Smith Jr. now out of the picture, Mudiay is the starting point guard for the Knicks. It's clear they want to ride him to the finish line too, with Mudiay averaging 30 DK points per game across 33 minutes of action in his last 11 games. Where that's really evident is in his usage, with Mudiay leading this roster with a 26 percent usage rate. Any player with that sort of usage and minutes workload is worth a shot, especially against a Houston defense who allows the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing point guards. Also Consider: Cory Joseph scored 33 DK points in the last game without Darren Collison and is definitely worth a shot if Collison sits out yet again. Trey Burke would be tough to fade if Luke Doncic sits out too. Shooting Guard Tyler Dorsey FD - $3900 DK - $4700 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 23.71 DK - 24.52 With Mike Conley expected to miss this game, Dorsey becomes one of the best value plays on the board. Since capturing the starting shooting guard job two weeks ago, Dorsey has scored at least...

Trying to write an article is very difficult at this time of the year but it's actually one of the best times to capitalize on injury situations. There are so many teams sitting players at this point, that there are numerous minimum priced players seeing huge workloads. That's all DFS owners can ask for, as that allows us to get more studs into our lineup. The craziness does make it a bit unpredictable though, so be sure to listen to our podcast and join our Member's Only Chat prior to lock to get all the last-minute information! Point guard Kemba Walker FD - $9000 DK - $8900 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 46.82 DK - 48.11 The status of Walker is a bit concerning with Charlotte now out of playoff contention but this is a tough spot to pass up on him. What's really intriguing here is his matchup, as he faces a Pelicans team who ranks 28th in total defense while allowing the third-most fantasy points to opposing point guards. That's tough to fade when we're talking about a guy who averages 21 shots and 36 minutes per game while leading the team with a 30 percent usage rate. Aside from a 47-point blowout at the hands of the Golden State Warriors on Sunday, Walker has been rolling over the last two weeks. In fact, Walker is averaging 53.1 DK points per game in the other six games of that seven games span. Charlotte's commitment to Walker is also one of the only sure things this time of year, and that level of safety is worth a lot.   Trey Burke FD - $4900 DK - $4900 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 28.03 DK - 28.5 With Luka Doncic likely missing this game, Burke becomes one of the best values on the board. In the last two games, Burke is averaging 35 DK points per game across 30 minutes of action. Minutes are all that really matters for a guy like Burke, as he's a fantasy point-per minute producer. That means if he matches his 30 minutes from the last two games, we'll be looking at a 6X floor in this price range. Minnesota is a fantastic matchup too, with the T'Wolves ranking 24th in both points allowed and defensive...

FanDuel and DraftKings NBA picks for 4/2/19 The NBA season is winding down and that can lead to a lot of weird nights. Superstars sit. Nobodies play a lot. Teams are in the tank. Teams are resting. So many narratives are out there and the DFS implications are all over the place. Let's take a look at some of the things to concern yourself with tonight.

We've got you completely covered.Playing the final week of NBA DFS is borderline psychotic but it's also a great time to make some money. Doing a little bit of extra homework can allow you to succeed big time in this volatile stretch of the season, as these rotations are more bizarre than ever. What's really interesting about this time of year is how much resting is going on. There are numerous teams sitting stud players every game and it opens up the door for tons of value. That's why we're going to stack Lakers here, as they have their four-best players out of the lineup. Point guardRussell Westbrook FD - $11600 DK - $11000Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 58.92 DK - 61.78In such a short slate, it's hard to fade someone like Westbrook. What really makes him intriguing is the fact that we have so many cheap options available. That makes it possible to get multiple studs into your lineup, which may end up being the optimal strategy. Westbrook's numbers speak for themselves, as he's averaging 58 DK points per game while never scoring fewer than 33 fantasy points in any game this season. That floor becomes particularly enticing in this matchup, with Los Angeles sitting fourth in pace and 22nd in total defense. That's evident by the fact that Westbrook is averaging 62 DK points per game in two outings against the Lakers this season. Alex Caruso FD - $4000 DK - $4600Opponent - OKCProj Pts FD - 21.26 DK - 20.78Caruso is not a guy who I thought would ever be in one of my articles but here we are in the final week of the NBA season. His recent form is hard to argue with though, with Caruso averaging 24 DK points per game across his last 10 outings. All of the injuries in Los Angeles have really opened things up for him, with Caruso is averaging 25 minutes per game in that span. He's also providing a 21.4...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Monday 4/1/19   Well, it’s April Fool’s Day and that can often feel like what we are dealing with on a nightly basis when it comes to the late season NBA minutes, rotations and injury news. It feels like we are playing roulette each evening with who is going to play, and how much. It means paying attention to news is as critical as ever and there is a quite a bit to wade through for Monday’s slate.   Head on over a for your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA FanDuel and DraftKings optimizer, our MLB Optimizer in time for Opening Day, and our new player lab!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Goran Dragic FD - $6000 DK - $6500Opponent - BOSProj Pts FD - 33.01 DK - 34.84 The Heat will once again be without Justise Winslow and Josh Richardson in the back court, leaving (presumably) another heavy workload for Dragic on Monday. He’s played 37 and 38 minutes respectively over the last two games and put up a total of 31 shots. He struggled from the field against the Knicks on Saturday, but is only a game removed from a triple-double (23 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists) against the Mavericks on Thursday. The matchup against Boston isn’t ideal, but with the Heat still very much fighting for a playoff spot, few other players have the kind of minutes safety as Dragic on this slate (which is saying a lot considering he’s on the Heat). Jalen Brunson FD - $5500 DK - $5400Opponent - PHIProj Pts FD - 24.48 DK - 25.8 Trey Burke FD - $3600 DK - $4000Opponent - PHIProj Pts FD - 27.02 DK - 27.42 I’m assuming Luka Doncic sits out again as a precautionary measure on Monday and that should leave a bulk of the point guard minutes to Brunson and Burke. On Sunday, Burke was the fantasy darling playing 31 minutes and finishing with 25 points on 10-18 shooting and eight assists. The price didn’t have a chance to move overnight, leaving him as a crazy value once again. It’s always a little tough to trust bench minutes for cash games, but Burke’s opportunity feels safe enough considering the situation and salaries. Meanwhile, Brunson was fine in his 30 minutes on Sunday, though a bit underwhelming considering his price tier. He still isn’t all that expensive and...
