Point Guard Stephen Curry FD - $9800 DK - $10500Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 54.18 DK - 57.92 Steph has been on another planet for most of this season, but especially of late. He’s shooting an unheard of 47% from three on almost 14 attempts per game over the last month. This is a stupid number and it has him averaging 38 points (38!) in that stretch. Now on Sunday, he’ll get to face the worst defense in the league, kind of by a lot, in the Sacramento Kings. The Warriors are still very much in win-now mode trying to secure a playoff berth and have been running Curry major minutes. That should continue to be the case on Sunday and he makes a high floor play on both sites and kind of just a bargain on FanDuel. Darius Garland FD - $7300 DK - $7200Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 33.81 DK - 35.25 Collin Sexton has already been ruled out of this game which means we should see a usage and assist uptick for Garland against the Wizards. Garland’s had a real nice sophomore season for the Cavs, shooting 40% from beyond the arc while also getting the assists up to six a game. I love the matchup against a fast-paced Wizards team and considering he should see an uptick just in ball handling minutes, this is a perfect time to buy in the upper-middle tier on Garland. Shooting Guard Tyrese Haliburton FD - $5800 DK - $6200Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 31.59 DK - 32.23 De’Aaron Fox has already been ruled out of this game and the Kings have announced that Halliburton will take his place in the starting lineup. Halliburton gets major bumps across the board this season with Fox off the floor. The latter sees about a 9% uptick in his stage percentage and the assists climb a whopping 15%. His price hasn’t fully corrected for the starting point guard role for the Kings in this matchup so we are buying at a value. They were careful with his minutes earlier in the year, but that might not be the case anymore for the Kings. Caris Levert FD...

Point Guard Mike Conley FD - $7100 DK - $7000Opponent - MINProj Pts FD - 39.76 DK - 40.78 With Donovan Mitchell out again this game we will have another chance to play Conley in cash. The last two games the Jazz have been in some blowouts which has buzzed off the starter’s minutes and that could definitely be the case again here versus that Timberwolves. But the usage uptick a guy like Conley sees with Mitchell off the court is worth the risk. He has the second-highest usage on the team (24%) when Donovan is off the court this season. Armoni Brooks FD - $4200 DK - $3800Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 23.74 DK - 25.4 The Rockets are going to sit a bunch of guys on Saturday leaving a ton of minutes for the bench/ fill-in dudes. Brooks should see the start here at point guard and could play minutes in the very high 30s (or even more). He’s played 35 and 30 respectively over the last two though only scored six and nine points. But he shot poorly and also that was with other volume shooters like John Wall and Christian Wood in the mix. Those dudes aren’t playing here which should open up all kinds of opportunity for Brooks in the short term. If Porzingis is out, we might be paying up for Luka Doncic (FD 11500 DK 11000). Shooting Guard Joe Ingles FD - $6500 DK - $6600Opponent - MINProj Pts FD - 33.22 DK - 35.17 Jordan Clarkson FD - $5900 DK - $6500Opponent - MINProj Pts FD - 29.86 DK - 31.53 There’s some multi-position eligibility with Ingles here on DraftKings, though you’ll need to slot him into small forward on FanDuel. But with Mitchell still out these two guys remain very good options. Ingles sees a definitive minutes increase when the Jazz are down any guard and the usage ticks up as well. As I said with Conley, the last couple of games have been blowouts for the Jazz so the minutes haven’t been all that robust. And we could be staring at that again, but it might still be worth the risk on Ingles even...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Friday, 4/23/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Friday, 4/23/21 This Friday slate features seven games in total, with 14 teams taking the floor. What's fascinating about this slate is how many superstars we have missing. Kawhi Leonard, Trae Young, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, James Harden, Gordon Hayward, and Jonas Valanciunas have all been ruled out already, and almost all of those absences will play a factor in this article. With that in mind, let's get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Stephen Curry FD - $10000 DK - $10300 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 52.16 DK - 55.55 Curry has had an incredible career, and it's scary to think that he's actually in one of the best stretches of that Hall-of-Fame career. The sharpshooter has at least 52 DraftKings points in 11 of his 12 games since returning from injury, averaging nearly 60 fantasy points per game in that span. It's not like it's some outlier stretch either, with Curry providing similar shooting averages to his absurd career numbers. One of those majestic performances happened to come against this Nuggets defense, with Chef Curry collecting 53 points, six rebounds, and four assists en route to 69 DraftKings points. John Wall FD - $7800 DK - $7500 Opponent - LAC Proj Pts FD - 42.28 DK - 43.69 The Rockets are one of the worst teams in the NBA, and it's overshadowed a bounceback season from this former All-Star. The speedy point guard has at least 29 DraftKings points in 33 of his 39 games this season, generating a 38-point average for the year. Both of those numbers are hard to overlook from a sub-$8K player because Wall always produces when he's in the lineup. We'd usually be concerned about him facing this tough Clippers defense, but they're currently missing Kawhi Leonard and Patrick Beverley. We love that with Wall averaging 47 fantasy points per game in his last two meetings with LA. especially with Kevin Porter out as well. Shooting Guard Paul George FD - $9400 DK - $9300 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 48.57 DK - 50.44 I was severely disappointed when PG13 got ruled out on Wednesday, but we're going right back to the well. All the same things...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Wednesday, 4/21/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 4/21/21 Tuesday's article went really well! That led to one of my better days in a while, and it has us ecstatic for this crazy Wednesday slate. We have almost every team playing, with 12 games making up this slate. That creates a monster player pool, and it's going to be critical to keep an eye on all the news out there. With that in mind, let's get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Stephen Curry FD - $10200 DK - $10500 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 54.47 DK - 58.19 It's pretty insane what this guy is doing right now. Since returning from injury a few weeks back, he's been arguably the best player in fantasy. That's on full display when you see that he has at least 49 fantasy points in 11 straight games while providing a 58-point average in that span. That's absurd since he's being double-teamed all the time, and we certainly expect him to continue that ridiculous form in a majestic matchup like this. The Wizards currently rank second in pace while surrendering the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing point guards. Golden State is a Top-3 team in terms of pace, too, and it's scary to think how many open threes Curry will get in a game script like this. Malcolm Brogdon FD - $7500 DK - $7700 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 42.09 DK - 43.7 The Pacers are expected to be without Domantas Sabonis and Myles Turner here, leaving Brogdon as the focal point of the offense. With those two guys off the floor, Brogdon is second on the team with a 34 percent usage rate while averaging over 1.2 DK points per minute. That's a heck of a rate from a guy in a fantastic stretch, with Brogdon averaging 44 DraftKings points per game across his last seven outings. That's right on par with our projections, and it's amazing to think that he did that damage with those guys healthy. Oklahoma City is certainly not a worrisome matchup either, with the Thunder owning a 22nd OPRK against opposing PGs this year. Kyrie Irving could be in line for a monster workload with Kevin...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Tuesday, 4/20/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Tuesday, 4/20/21 If you're as addicted to fantasy as I am, you're surely in the playoffs of your season-long formats. That means you probably have a good idea of how crazy the NBA landscape is right now, with players resting way too regularly. I mean, what the hell are the Toronto Raptors doing? These guys are fighting for a playoff spot and sit their starters every night. There's no rhyme or reason to anything it seems like, especially with a month left in the season! That can make DFS tough for us, but it also leaves a ton of value out there as well!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Kyrie Irving FD - $9400 DK - $9900 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 48.77 DK - 49.91 This is my favorite play of the day. With Brooklyn expected to miss James Harden, Kevin Durant, and Nicolas Claxton, Kyrie should be busier than ever here. With those guys off the floor, he has a usage rate flirting with 35 percent while averaging a ridiculous 1.6 DK points per minute. To put that in perspective, that'd equate to 48 fantasy points in just 30 minutes! We believe those 30 minutes are the floor, and it's even less surprising to see that when you see Irving's 47-point average over his last 13 games played. All of that doesn't even consider this tasty matchup, with the Pelicans surrendering the second-most fantasy points to opposing point guards. Terry Rozier FD - $7800 DK - $8000 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 42.21 DK - 43.73 Scary Terry has found himself in a beautiful role, and it's allowed him to become a fantasy monster. The Hornets are currently missing Gordon Hayward, LaMelo Ball, Devonte' Graham, and Malik Monk, leaving Rozier as the only frontcourt player left. That has led to the best stretch of his career, scoring at least 52 fantasy points in three straight games while falling just shy of a 60-point average in that stretch. That's a heck of a total from a player sitting around $8K, and it's hard to understand why he's not closer to $10,000 on both sites. Facing New York can be a tough cookie...
