Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Damian Lillard FD - $10800 DK - $11600Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 54.3 DK - 59.72 Damian Lillard is just on a ridiculous run right now. It’s really something. When healthy, since January 8th, the dude is averaging 38 points and seven assists a game. This is about as good as you’ll ever see with 60 and 71 point games thrown in there for good measure. Portland will be without Anfernee Simons again for this game facing a Hawks team running a top-10 pace and a bottom-10 defensive efficiency. The spot sets up well for Dame who is on a different level right now. Terry Rozier FD - $7800 DK - $7700Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 39.5 DK - 42.82 Kelly Oubre Jr. FD - $7000 DK - $6600Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 38.57 DK - 40.4 The Hornets are without LaMelo Ball for the rest of the season and these two should play major minutes as long as games can stay close. That was the case last game with both running 38 against the Suns in a loss. Rozier took 18 shots and finished with 20 points, but he has a 29.8% usage rate when Ball is off the court this season. Meanwhile, Kelly Oubre took a team-high 24 points and finished with 26 points while adding in nine rebounds. The matchup against the Magic on Friday should be a better one though Orlando isn’t exactly a rollover team. That being said, the Hornets guys without their star are all a bit underpriced and this game doesn’t have inordinate blowout risk. Anthony Edwards FD - $9400 DK - $9400Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 47.1 DK - 49.93 I still want to trust Anthony Edwards at these prices now that the team has traded away D’Angelo Russell and still doesn’t have Karl-Anthony Towns back in the mix. The 18 and 19 shots respectively over the last two games isn’t quite where it should be for a score-heavy guy like Edwards, but the usage over the course of the season has been there. This isn’t a defensively stout Lakers team so the matchup is...

Guards Luka Doncic FD - $12000 DK - $11900 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 55.64 DK - 60.04 We have another small slate Thursday so it might just be in the cards to lock in the massive floor that Luka provides. There were a few bumps in the road but not only did Luka enter the break red-hot, he picked up where he left off as well averaging 32.6 points, 8 rebounds, and 7.2 assists over his last five games while providing a 58 fantasy point average as well. It is a tougher matchup against the 76ers but the good news is that they are playing on a back-to-back and Luka's price is back down after exceeding $13K earlier in the year. In the end, it will depend on the value that arises so stay tuned for starting lineups later in the day. Bradley Beal FD - $9400 DK - $8000 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 38.25 DK - 41.42 If that value doesn't pop up to where we can comfortably fit Luka, there is a nice selection of mid-tier guard plays starting with Bradley Beal who has returned to fantasy prominence over the last month. Going back to late January(10 games), Beal has averaged 26.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and a combined 1.7 steals + blocks while tallying 40+ fantasy points seven times(43.5 average). He is also set to see more big-time usage with Monte Morris set to miss his third straight game which offsets the rising price when looking at the PTS/$ projection. All things considered, Beal is my favorite play at the guard position tonight. Klay Thompson FD - $8300 DK - $7800 Opponent - LAC Proj Pts FD - 37.29 DK - 41.65 With Steph Curry out of the lineup, I have gone back and forth between Poole and Thompson continuously and while both get a huge boost in usage, it really just comes down to price. Klay is not only cheaper on DraftKings tonight but he also provides a bit more safety as Poole is playing through a knee bruise. One downside is that Klay is very shooting dependant but as I mentioned the usage is most definitely there as he has taken 19 or more shots in eight of nine games since Steph went down with injury while averaging just...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 3/1/23 Did the month of February even happen? It blew my mind to write March 1 when preparing this article, but that's just what happens when you're having fun. DFS is a good mixture of fun and chaos, but we feel like we have a great read on how these rotations are playing out right now. It was a bit strange directly out of the trade deadline, but everything is coming together right now. We've also had some big-name injuries recently that will open up some value but let's get started with two of the best point guards in the NBA!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Damian Lillard FD - $11000 DK - $11900 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 52.74 DK - 55.48 Fading Lillard would be silly. This sharpshooter took down the three-point contest at All-Star weekend but has been the best scorer in the NBA over the last month. Dame has scored at least 56 DraftKings points in 15 of his last 20 games, averaging nearly 40 raw points per game in that span. He also flashed a 93-point upside just a few days ago, and it's clear Portland will allow Lillard to do everything with Anfernee Simons and Jusuf Nurkic both sidelined. New Orleans is far from scary, allowing 120 points per game in their current 7-20 stretch. In his last four matchups with the Pelicans, Dame is averaging nearly 65 DK points per game! Ja Morant FD - $10000 DK - $9900 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 46.58 DK - 47.94 Ja was dropping jaws on Tuesday night, collecting 39 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists en route to 74 DraftKings points. That's one of the best games of his career, but it becomes less surprising when you see his 50-point average for the year. Ironically, his highest-scoring game before this was in this same matchup against Houston. The Rockets rank 27th in points allowed and 29th in defensive efficiency while surrendering the most fantasy points to opposing point guards. That was on full display when Morant amassed 73 DK points in their one matchup this year, doing that damage across just 31 minutes of play. Dennis Smith...

Guards LaMelo Ball FD - $10300 DK - $10300 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 50.71 DK - 52.89 All eyes will be on this game as it features the only two teams ranked outside the Top 20 in defensive efficiency. For me, it starts with LaMelo who has picked up where he left off before the break and opened the second half with back-to-back double-doubles, one with rebounds, and one with assists. Going back to the end of January, Ball has been one of the hottest players in the league nearly averaging a triple-double on 24.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 9.4 assists for just shy of 55 fantasy points per game. On this smaller slate, he is my top guard and top overall play on both sites. Jaden Ivey FD - $6000 DK - $5600 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 30.66 DK - 33.71 On the other side of this fantasy-friendly matchup, we have another player who has been producing excellent PTS/$ numbers in the short term. Ivey comes in with the second-highest usage in the current starting lineup for the Pistons and has taken double-digit shot attempts in five straight while providing 30+ fantasy points in each of those games. This game has a total(236.5) that is 11 points higher than the next highest, the Hornets rank outside the Top 20 in defence, and with a price that is only slowly on the rise, Ivey is a top PTS/$ play for me in all formats Monday. Derrick White FD - $6900 DK - $5500 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 31.38 DK - 33.42 While this matchup is not nearly as fantasy-friendly as the one above, Jaylen Brown will be out for the Celtics which opens up some PTS/$ value at the guard position. The biggest beneficiary of Brown's absence is Derrick White who has averaged over six more shots per game and over 43 fantasy points per game over eight games with no Brown going back to the start of January. There is a bit of risk here as he is dealing with an ankle injury which has me a little less interested on FanDuel at nearly $7K but on DraftKings where the price is still way down in relation to his role, White is a top value and a core play in all...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 2/26/23 It's strange to have half of the games not featured on the main slate, but that's what we've got here! That's common for Sunday slates, though, because the NBA loves to spread these games throughout the day. We're just going to focus on the four games beginning at 7ET because that's when most sites provide their largest prize pools. We have some of the worst defenses in the NBA suiting up among these eight teams, and it should lead to a fun card! With that in mind, let's get started with the three-point champion!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Damian Lillard FD - $10500 DK - $11400 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 50.16 DK - 52.67 It's tough to predict the highest-scoring player on a slate, but Dame has to be one of the top picks on the board. This sharpshooter has scored at least 41 DraftKings points in 19 of his last 20 games, generating a 55-point average in that span. He's scoring nearly 40 raw points per game in that stretch, carrying this offense without Jusuf Nurkic. He's also done most of that damage with Anfernee Simons healthy, and it's scary to think how high his usage will be with Simons sitting this game. A matchup with Houston is the icing on the cake, with the Rockets ranked 28th in total defense while surrendering the most fantasy points to opposing PGs. That's led to Lillard scoring at least 46 fantasy points in seven of their last eight meetings! Jordan Poole FD - $8000 DK - $8500 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 41.38 DK - 43.79 It's been fun watching Poole run this offense in the absence of Stephen Curry. Poole is actually leading the team with a 32 percent usage rate when Curry is on the bench, averaging nearly 40 DraftKings points per game in those outings. The boost in shot attempts, assists, and usage is what's allowing Poole to thrive because stepping into the Chef Curry role would benefit anyone. A matchup with Minnesota is magnificent, too, with the T'Wolves ranked fourth in pace and 20th in total defense. They're also allowing the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing PGs, with Poole...
