Point Guards Russell Westbrook FD - $11800 DK - $12500Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 56.66 DK - 61.47 It’s short slate so fitting in salaries like this isn’t always a piece of cake. But if there’s anyone to do it for, it’s Russ. Even at these exorbitant prices he’s actually still one of the top points/$ plays at point guard. That, my friends, is no easy feat. But this is Russ we’re talking about. He’s averaging a triple-double on the season (if we round up on the rebounds by .3) and chucks in the highest usage in the league at 40%. The Lakers, while an improving team, still play a top 5 pace and a bottom 5 defensive efficiency. There are times to fade Westbrook, but this short slate isn’t one of them. This games has the highest over/under at 221 and projects to stay close. All the Westbrook today. Rajon Rondo FD - $5700 DK - $5600Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 27.54 DK - 30.18 After Westbrook, point guard is actually pretty thin on this slate. Rondo hasn’t put up tons of fantasy production since coming to the Bulls from Sacramento, but in close games he’s played a great deal of minutes. And though the shooting hasn’t really been there (it never has been for the guy) he’s contributing enough assists and rebounds to generally pay off these prices. He’s averaging close to 9 assists per this season and has had a recent run of solid rebounding (about 5/ game on the season). He’s also struggling from the field and we could see regression on that front, though the season’s already getting a little long in the tooth. Denver’s a middle of the road defensive team this season and plays at about a league average pace. We should see a full strength Bulls team tonight and I think Rondo sees the minutes. Also considered: Emmanuel Mudiay. The shooting is enough to drive a man...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 11/21/16 A case of the Mondays, anyone? After an injury riddled NFL Sunday I'm back in the mood to focus on solely on hoops. Thankfully we have a monstrous Monday slate to pick over. What time is it? Game time, huh. Man, that sounds a lot less badass when I type it than when teams do it before games. Let's proceed and pretend like it never happened. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA optimizer, our NFL Optimizer, and our new NFL player lab!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guards John Wall FD - $9200 DK - $9000Opponent - PHOProj Pts FD - 44.96 DK - 49.08 Wall is back to his old ones since returning from injury, and he's put up 41 or more fantasy points in each of his last 3 starts. Two of those match-ups (NY and MIA) are bottom 10 match-ups, and even Philly isn't the pushover they once were. Phoenix, though? They're back to their old ones as well - allowing the 4th most fantasy points to opposing point guards this season on the back of a a blistering, league fastest 104.8 PACE factor. With Wall unleashed for his normal run of minutes, I expect he'll be the highest owned top tier player on the night. Eric Bledsoe FD - $6900 DK - $6800Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 33.1 DK - 36.53 The guy who will likely be covering him ain't so bad, either. Bledsoe's minutes have bounced around a bit (largely thanks to how bad the Suns are), but the signs are there that he's ready to break back into the offense in a big way. He hoisted 24 shots with TJ Warren out and Devin Booker banged up, and he's likely heading back into the same situation on Monday. If both Booker and Warren are active this pick loses some of its steam, but honestly not that much. Bledsoe has routinely supported mid-$7,000s prices in the past, and was pretty much doing fine until back to back hiccups against the Nuggets and Pacers. The Wizards have actually been pretty tough on opposing point guards this season, but this is more a price consideration than anything else. Not sure he's a slam dunk cash game play, but I love the upside here. Goran Dragic FD - $6700 DK - $6600Opponent - PHIProj Pts FD - 31.58 DK - 34.79 Speaking...

We've got you completely covered. Point Guards Russell Westbrook FD - $11500 DK - $12000Opponent - INDProj Pts FD - 53.15 DK - 58.38 It's a relatively short slate today, and there are precious few ways to spend up. Blessedly, we have Russell Westbrook. Westbrook's worst performance in his last 5 was a 50 fantasy point performance against the Rockets, and there's no reason to think that the above projection is unreasonable. He leads the league in usage by a country mile at an astounding 40%, and he's put up career totals in rebounds while posting double digit assists as well. He's the clear best player in fantasy right now, and a league average match-up with Teague and the Pacers isn't enough to scare us off grabbing him here. Kyle Lowry FD - $8300 DK - $8200Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 37.3 DK - 40.87 Lowry has been good for a steady in unspectacular 40 fantasy points per game basically since the 3rd game of the season, and like Westbrook, is putting up career high in boards while flirting with his career high in assists. Sacramento hasn't been the great fantasy match-up that they were last season largely as a result of their significantly slower pace, but Lowry is consistent enough that that shouldn't matter all too much. He isn't a high upside play here, but should be able to get his way against Ty Lawson.   Jeff Teague FD - $6600 DK - $6800Opponent - OKCProj Pts FD - 36.7 DK - 39.79 This loses some of its lustre if Paul George is back for sure, but he's been good enough that he warrants an inclusion here. His usage jumps from 25% to 30% with George off the court this season, and he's chipped in 3 straight 5x points per dollar performances with George sidelined. And then there's the Thunder - Russell Westbrook has been too busy just destroying teams on the offensive end to play a whole lot of defense. The Thunder have allowed the fourth most fantasy points to opposing point guards this season, and their 5th fastest pace of play means Teague should have a high floor to go with his reasonably high ceiling.
