Guards Chris Paul FD - $8300 DK - $8200 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 44.29 DK - 46.54 Getting Chris Paul back is just what the Suns needed as they have now gone 3-1 on the back of some elite basketball. He is coming off a monster, 60-point fantasy performance on Saturday and has tallied a double in all four game since his return while averaging 22.3 points, 10.8 assists, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks+steals. With the Suns still short-handed(Booker, Shamet, Payne out) and in a plus matchup against the Raptors 19th ranked defence, Chris Paul is once again a core play for me in all formats. Bradley Beal FD - $8000 DK - $7200 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 37.45 DK - 38.46 Beal has missed a lot of time this season and hasn't exactly been able to get into a rhythm but a season-low price on DraftKings has our system's attention on Monday. The good news is that isn't the only box he checks tonight as he has seen his usage return in recent games with 17 shots in three straight while running cold at about a 9% rate lower than his career average. The other plus here is the terrific matchup against the Spurs who run a Top 10 pace and rank dead last in defensive efficiency. All things considered, I am on board with Beal in all formats on DraftKings. Alec Burks FD - $5000 DK - $4900 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 28.1 DK - 31.12 Burks has drawn the start in each of the Pistons' last two games and has provided at least 6x value on DraftKings in both games. He can be very shooting-dependent but is riding a hot hand as he has dropped 12 of 21 shots(57%) in those two games while adding seven rebounds and six assists. While the Mavs are one of the slowest teams in the league(29th in pace), this is still a plus matchup as they rank 24th in defensive efficiency and could be without Luka for a second straight game. With a price that hasn't budged, Burks will once again be a core play if in the starting lineup. Also consider Spencer Dinwiddie(DAL) a core play once again if Luka Donic were to sit out a second straight game. Small Forward Anthony...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 1/29/23 It's been an awesome week of basketball, but we're looking at a limited slate here. We only have four games on this Sunday slate, with three making up the main card. We'll key in on those three games, but there are still some great options. The reason for the short card is that the NBA doesn't want to compete with the NFL for viewership, but we still have you covered for DFS in both sports! With that in mind, let's dive into this NBA Sunday slate!

Point Guard Ja Morant FD - $10000 DK - $10200 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 48.86 DK - 50.68 Morant has been one of the best point guards in the NBA this season, and we have to love him in this spot. Memphis has already ruled out Desmond Bane for this game, which should add more usage to Morant's massive plate. With Bane off the floor this season, Morant has a team-leading 36 percent usage rate while averaging over 1.5 DK points per minute. That's an absurd rate, equating to nearly 60 fantasy points if he plays the 35-40 minutes we anticipate. That's not far off of his 49-point average for the year, and we certainly don't mind that he plays a Pacers team that ranks 25th in both points allowed and defensive efficiency. Darius Garland FD - $8900 DK - $8800 Opponent - LAC Proj Pts FD - 47.57 DK - 49.42 It's been fun watching Garland take over this offense in the absence of Donovan Mitchell. He's got a usage rate north of 30 percent with DM off the floor, posting some of his best lines of the season without the All-Star. Not only did DG drop a career-high 69 DraftKings points without Mitchell earlier in the season, but he also has 63 and 53 fantasy points in the last two games without him as well. He's now played nine games without Mitchell and is averaging about 45 fantasy points per game. That's no surprise with the boost in minutes and shot attempts which is fantastic since Garland gobbled up 19 points and 12 assists in his last meeting with the Clippers....

Guards Chris Paul FD - $8100 DK - $7900 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 43.46 DK - 46.14 Since returning from injury, Chris Paul has completely skipped the "shaking off the rust" phase as he has been tremendous for the Suns. He has played 38 minutes in two of three games and was only limited to 27 in the other due to a blowout. Paul has also tallied a double-double in all three games back while averaging 47.5 fantasy points per game. He now faces a Spurs team that is dead last in defensive efficiency, 6th in pace, and allows the second-most fantasy points to guards. Considering the price hasn't budged and the Suns are still short-handed, Paul is an elite play in all formats. Spencer Dinwiddie FD - $8000 DK - $7400 Opponent - UTA Proj Pts FD - 35.86 DK - 39.22 With superstar Luka Doncic set to miss at least one game with an ankle injury, there will be some added usage to go around and Spencer Dinwiddie will most definitely be a benefactor. He was tremendous in leading the Mavs to a win after Luka exited last game playing 40 minutes, dropping 10 of 18 shots(5 of 6 from beyond the arc), and nearly hitting 60 fantasy points. Even with Luka in the lineup, Dinwiddie has provided a solid floor averaging just over 37 DK points over his last 10 games. In a matchup against Utah's 26th-ranked defense, Dinwiddie is a core play for me in all formats. Fred VanVleet FD - $8800 DK - $8100 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 38.3 DK - 40.7 The Raptors have multiple players who are borderline cash plays almost every single game so when one of them is out it grabs my attention. It isn't certain yet but OG left last night's game with a sprained ankle and is questionable but we aren't expecting him to play on a back-to-back. For me, that has me interested in multiple players starting with Fred who has not only snapped out of a slump but has been terrific recently averaging 28.3 points and 7.2 assists for over 51 fantasy points a game in his last six. I love the floor FVV provides and in a matchup against Portland's 22nd-ranked defense, I will have exposure in all formats. Small Forward...

Be sure to read our free NBA and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy, and more. We've got you completely covered.   Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Darius Garland FD - $8500 DK - $8300Opponent - OKCProj Pts FD - 46.11 DK - 50.05 Of course, the recommendation of Darius Garland here is somewhat (or even mostly) contingent on whether Donovan Mitchell was to play. The latter sat out on Thursday evening with a groin issue and there’s a chance it happens again. That being said, the Thursday sitting could have been preemptive on the front end of the back-to-back as well so this is something we will have to keep an eye on. Garland went for 26 points and nine rebounds in just 33 minutes on Thursday in a blowout win over the Rockets. He’s been amazing this season when Mitchell has been on the shelf and draws a fine matchup against the Thunder who, while good on defense, are also 5th in pace. T.J. McConnell FD - $7400 DK - $6500Opponent - MILProj Pts FD - 39.22 DK - 41.62 The price still hasn’t adjusted on TJ McConnell and we are likely looking at playing him all the way until Tyrese Haliburton returns. Since taking over as a starter three games ago, McConnell is averaging 18 points, 10 assists, and five rebounds in almost 38 minutes per game. Even if those averages are on the high side of realistic expectations, he’s still coming way too cheap on DraftKings especially. Factoring in blowout risk against the Bucks still doesn’t put him out of play on either site really. This is an easy call. Jrue Holiday FD - $8300 DK - $8500Opponent - INDProj Pts FD - 45.24 DK - 49.05 The Bucks have some injury issues going right now so even with Giannis playing I think we can consider Jrue Holiday here in the $8K range. There are some games without Giannis mixed in here, but over the last month or so Jrue is averaging 21 points, seven assists, and four rebounds with 1.5 steals+ blocks thrown in for good measure. Stacking Jrue and Giannis in cash games, if possible, has a very high floor against a Pacers team playing well-below-average defense and a fast pace. Small Forward Giannis Antetokounmpo FD -...

Guards Chris Paul FD - $8000 DK - $7700 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 42.71 DK - 44.94 The Suns are getting a bit healthier with Chris Paul returning this past Sunday and looking good with back-to-back double-doubles leading to wins in both games. He checks all the boxes on Thursday starting with the matchup against the Mavs who rank 25th in defensive efficiency and fantasy points against guards. He should also continue to see an uptick in volume as the Suns will be without Booker, Payne, and Shamet and with that is definitely a nice buy-low candidate that is in play in all formats. Darius Garland FD - $8400 DK - $8600 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 39.59 DK - 41.07 Caris LeVert FD - $5500 DK - $5600 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 17.29 DK - 17.89 Donovan Mitchell sat out Wednesday's practice after aggravating his groin injury upon returning to the starting lineup on Tuesday. As of now, I assume he is not playing, which leads to Garland and LeVert again getting the opportunity to shine. With Mitchell out last week, Garland crushed for fantasy with 21 or more points in all three games, double-doubles in two of three while tallying 45 or more fantasy points in each of those. LeVert stepped into the starting lineup for those three games and was also terrific for fantasy getting double-digit shots in each and providing 30 or more fantasy points in each game. With an elite matchup against the Rockets, Garland is in play for me no matter what but we will need to stay tuned on the Mitchell news and if he is out, LeVert is a top play in all formats. Jalen Green FD - $8100 DK - $7800 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 35.64 DK - 39.89 The other side of this game isn't providing as friendly of a matchup as the Cavs are #2 in defensive efficiency but there is a lot to like about Jalen Green tonight. You likely aren't using him in cash games at his elevated price but for the Cavs to hit their ceiling the Rockets will need to keep it close and Green is the player who can lead that charge making this an excellent GPP stacking situation. Even with a dud last...
