Thursday NBA DFS plays and Betting Angles for FanDuel and DraftKings 2/21/19 Listen to "Thursday NBA DFS plays and Betting Angles for FanDuel and DraftKings 2/21/19" on Spreaker. DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the podcast discussing a Thursday slate of NBA action for FanDuel and DraftKings. The guys return from the All-Star Break ready to talk hoops and they start off with the news that Joel Embiid will miss the next week with a knee injury. That makes the Sixers’ remaining players all cash game viable and possibly chalk players across the board. Ben Simmons and Jimmy Butler especially are good plays. We’ll see about Boban Marjanovic and whether or not he joins the starting lineup. They break down every game on the slate, finding value beyond just the Philly guys. Could this be a box minutes game for Giannis Antetokounmpo against the Celtics in an Eastern Conference leverage game? Do the Lakers need to just run Lebron James out for 40+ minutes a night now in a fight for the playoffs? What to make of James Harden’s drop off in assists?

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Ben Simmons FD - $8700 DK - $7900 Opponent - MIA Proj Pts FD - 49.25 DK - 49.35 With the news that Joel Embiid will miss at least a week with knee soreness meaning we are getting the rest of the Sixers at relative discounts coming out of the All-Star Break. Simmons should see an immediate minutes upgrade with the Sixers now playing short a man and he gets about a 4% usage rate this season when Embiid is off the court. Dude has had some up and down fantasy performances with Philly getting even deeper talent-wise after the Tobias Harris trade. But it’s only brought the prices down across the board and I suspect we see this team as heavy chalk on the Thursday slate. Stephen Curry FD - $9500 DK - $9000 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 45.71 DK - 48.52 The Warriors come into Thursday’s game as their customary double-digit favorites against the Kings. At this point, the standard is for Curry to play about 36 minutes in close games. His shooting has *tailed off* over the short term, knocking down only 37% of his threes in the last six games. This is after shooting 46% from beyond the arc during the month of January. It was unlikely for him to sustain that kind of accuracy, but he should settle back into around the 44% range he’s shot over his career. The dip in threes has also meant the pricing coming down a little and we are getting him at a discount on this slate. Collin Sexton FD - $5500 DK - $4900 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 27.23 DK - 28.89 Sexton, from a DFS perspective, is kind of the perfect guy for the Cavaliers. He doesn’t really increase their...

The DFSR crew of James Davis and Doug Norrie take to the podcast discussing a three-game NBA slate for FanDuel and DraftKings. They start off talking about if Valentine’s Day is any factor in the guy’s life (hint: it isn’t). Then they break down the slate which has a fair amount of bad teams with serious questions about the minutes and rotations. The Knicks and Pelicans come to mind in this respect. There’s also projected ownership on Paul George and Russell Westbrook, plus if you can play backups in cash games.

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – 2/14/19
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - 2/14/19 Happy Valentine's Day, love birds!

We've got you completely covered. Charlotte Hornets at the Orlando Magic Orlando is favored by 3 in a game with a 216 total. . Welcome to NBA Thursday night. The NBA has gifted us a pretty interesting three-game slate on this lovely Valentine's Day. There are only three games to look at, but each one has its own set of challenges and there are a lot of pricey options for such a small slate. We'll kick things off in Orlando, where the Magic will host Charlotte in a game with just a 216 total. It's the lowest of the night and the game we'll likely end up with the least exposure to. It doesn't mean there aren't attractive options, though, so let's jump in and take a look at both sides. Jeremy Lamb FD - $6600 DK - $5700Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 33.5 DK - 33.92 Nicolas Batum FD - $5400 DK - $4500Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 25.36 DK - 25.92 Cody Zeller FD - $5800 DK - $4800Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 26.73 DK - 26.12 The Orlando Magic are a pretty average defense in general. They play at an average PACE and don't struggle against any one spot. With that being said, they also don't excel against any one position. They can be taken advantage of by just about anybody that's shooting their shot right and you don't need to actively avoid anyone. Jeremy Lamb has been phenomenal as of late, putting up 55 and 31 fantasy points in the last two contests. It's the first time he's gotten over 30 minutes consistently and it looks like he may be turning a corner for this third half of the season. If he once again sees the minutes, he's going to hit value in the mid-$6k's on both sites. The defense is far from focused on him and his athleticism will be enough to take advantage of either Fournier or Ross. He's the only guy I have much interest in playing in cash games from this Hornets squad. Kemba Walker is obviously in play as well, but the price makes him a lot less attractive. He's sandwiched in the mid-$10k's and...
