Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $10400 DK - $10900Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 54.44 DK - 57.16 Doncic draws the best matchup you can have these days in DFS against a Sacramento Kings who rank dead last in defensive efficiency this season and play at a top-10 pace. That’s about all you can ask for when targeting fantasy plays and that’s what we get with Doncic. He’s coming off a 19 assist game against the Knicks on Friday and over the last month has averaged 27 points, eight assists, and seven rebounds. With the Mavs still pushing for the playoffs they have to keep their foot on the gas with Doncic’s minutes and he has as high a floor as anyone on this slate. Terry Rozier FD - $7500 DK - $8300Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 43.13 DK - 44.91 I like this play a lot more if Devonte' Graham is out again, but can roll with Rozier almost regardless. With Gordon Hayward and LaMelo Ball hurt there are a lot of minutes for him in the backcourt. Rozier has played 40 or more minutes in three of the last six games and taken 20 or more shots in the last two. This is a great matchup against a very weak Portland team on defense. Shooting Guard C.J. McCollum FD - $7900 DK - $8700Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 45.53 DK - 46.91 We already have word that Damian Lillard is going to miss this game on Sunday meaning we should be in line to play McCollum again in cash. The reasoning behind this is fairly straightforward and simple. With Lillard off the court, this season (and historically) McCollum is the primary beneficiary in the offense and has significant on-ball duties. For the season, CJ has a 27.5% usage rate. With Dame off the court, that number goes up to 30.5%, easily the highest on the team. The price hasn’t come up in conjunction with the new opportunity he should see on Sunday and they draw a good matchup against an injury-plagued Charlotte team. If Kawhi Leonard is out then Paul George (FD $9800 DK $9300) is definitely in play again. Small...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Saturday, 4/17/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Saturday, 4/17/21 We've got a shorter slate of NBA games on Saturday evening. Let's break down some cash plays for FanDuel and DraftKings.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Coby White FD - $4500 DK - $5200Opponent - CLEProj Pts FD - 28.49 DK - 30.31 White was a popular option on Friday evening and that was with good reason. He took over the starting role for the injured Tomas Satoransky and Zach Lavine is also on the shelf for the next few games at least. The Bulls lost, but White finished with the second-most shots on the team at 17. He had 27 points, seven assists, and five rebounds in a performance that completely crushed his price on both sites. He’s set up to do something similar against Cleveland on Saturday. I suspect he’s one of the highest-owned plays on the shorter slate of games. Killian Hayes FD - $3700 DK - $3400Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 19.84 DK - 20.66 Hayes was a total chalk option on DraftKings on Friday with the rookie getting the start and the Pistons really short on backcourt options. It’s shaping up to be the case again on Saturday with the price sticking right in the same area as a punt play. I’d caution that the five steals aren’t repeatable and the 27 minutes is definitely a concern even though this was a close win for the Pistons. It’s a great price which makes it easier to stomach but the defensive stats which feel rather outlier-ish definitely helped the line look a lot better than it could have been. All that being said, he’s almost too cheap to fade on a smaller slate. If Bradley Beal sits out the second half of the back-to-back then I think you can fire up Russell Westbrook (FD $11400 DK $10900) even at these crazy prices. He’s just been that good lately. Shooting Guard Josh Jackson FD - $5600 DK - $5100Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 27.51 DK - 28.02 A lot of this play depends on the state of the Pistons on Saturday. It’s just so hard to figure with this team seeing as how they are fully in the tank with the minutes of even...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Friday. 4/16/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Friday, 4/16/21 These slates can be very frustrating with limited information available, but we know a ton going into this one. That has me excited for this article because I really feel like we have a good grasp on the value. There are numerous superstar players missing, and it's going to lead to some great plays. There's a lot to discuss, so let's go ahead and get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Terry Rozier FD - $7000 DK - $8100 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 42.07 DK - 43.75 I hear the Hornets are setting up some try-outs before the game if you have interest! They're currently missing Gordon Hayward, LaMelo Ball, Malik Monk, P.J. Washington, and Devonte' Graham. That's pretty much the whole rotation, and it should allow Scary Terry to feast. With all of those guys off the floor, Rozier leads the club with a ridiculous 36 percent usage rate while providing 1.3 DK points per minute. Those are incredible numbers for a guy who's already in the midst of a breakout season, averaging 35 fantasy points per game. The icing on the cake is the matchup, though, with Brooklyn ranked 24th in points allowed and 25th in defensive efficiency. Coby White FD - $3800 DK - $5000 Opponent - MEM Proj Pts FD - 26.36 DK - 27.9 This is a risky play with White's role falling off a cliff recently, but one would have to believe he'll be one of the focal points of the offense here. We say that because Zach LaVine is out for the next week. That means about 20 shots, 35 minutes, and a 30 percent usage rate is out of the lineup, and White should be the one taking on most of that. If you look at the 42 games that White has played at least 25 minutes, he's averaging over 28 DraftKings points per game. If you get that from someone in this price range, you've stumbled into one of the best values of the day. Ja Morant is hovering around $7K on both sites and has one of the highest upsides of any player in that price range. Shooting Guard Fred VanVleet...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Wednesday, 4/14/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 4/14/21 Tuesday's article was on point. Paul George was our headline player, and he provided us with an absolute gem. We also got nice games from Malcolm Brogdon, Bojan Bogdanovic, and Jalen McDaniels, and two of those guys will actually be featured again today. Without further ado, let's go ahead and get into it!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Malcolm Brogdon FD - $7300 DK - $7100 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 39.39 DK - 40.77 Brogdon was a treasure for us on Tuesday night, and we're going right back to the well. The simple fact is, this guy should be $8K on both sites. That's what he was earlier on in the season, and two injury-riddled games lowered his price way too much. Brogdon averaged 38 DraftKings points per game before getting injured and has been even better since his return. In his last two games, MB has 104.6 combined fantasy points, the best two-game stretch of his season. That makes it hard to believe that he's hovering around $7K and we absolutely love this matchup. The Rockets currently rank fifth in pace and 25th in points allowed. Derrick White FD - $6000 DK - $6400 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 34.9 DK - 35.03 White has quietly had a resurgent season half, and it's clear that he's one of the focal points of this offense with LaMarcus Aldridge out of the picture. The talented guard has scored at least 27 DraftKings points in eight of his last 10 games, averaging over 31 fantasy points per game in that span. That's plenty at this price tag, and we actually have him projected for even more than that here. What adds to his intrigue is that Toronto ranks 15th in total defense while owning a 24th OPRK against opposing point guards. We also believe DeMar DeRozan will draw a lot of attention against his former team, and that should open up even more for White. De'Aaron Fox has been crushing recently, and it's scary to think that the fastest player in the NBA gets to face the fastest-paced team. Shooting Guard Bradley Beal FD - $8500 DK - $8700 Opponent - SAC...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Tuesday, 4/13/21
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Tuesday, 4/13/21 The NBA season is absolutely crazy right now. What's absurd is how many things off the court are affecting things on it. That makes circumstances tough to predict on our end, but we're doing our best to put all these pieces together to complete this difficult puzzle. What it has done is open up a ton of value across the board, and that's on full display by some of these mind-boggling prices. One of them happens to be our first recommendation, so let's go ahead and get into it! Head on over for your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA FanDuel and DraftKings optimizer, our MLB Optimizer, and NHL Projections as well. Plus, our new player lab!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Malcolm Brogdon FD - $7500 DK - $6700 Opponent - LAC Proj Pts FD - 38.15 DK - 39.71 What is DraftKings thinking here? Brogdon was an $8,000 player a month ago, and they're letting an injury-riddled stretch lower his price way too far. If you take out his final game before getting injured and his first game back, Brogdon has been crushing recently. In fact, he's got at least 36 fantasy points in nine of his last 10 games without those injury-affected performances, averaging 40 DK points per game in that span. His most recent outing is a good indicator of how healthy he is right now, dropping a season-best 63 DraftKings points! That makes it hard to believe he's below $7K, making him one of the best values on the board. Dennis Schroder FD - $6900 DK - $6500 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 31.22 DK - 31.64 With LeBron James and Anthony Davis both injured, Schroder has become the man for the Lakers. With those guys off the floor, Dennis the Menace is second on the team with a 26 percent usage rate while averaging 1.1 DK points per minute. That's on full display when you see that Schroder is averaging 34 fantasy points per game across his last 14 outings. That makes it hard to believe he's still a sub-$7K player, especially in a matchup like this. The Hornets currently own a 20th OPRK against opposing point guards this season and have lost most of their backcourt to injuries. Terry Rozier has a monster role with so many injuries in Charlotte and should continue to...
