Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks for Draft Street and Fan Duel 12/27/13

 

Huge day in the NBA and we love so many guys I could almost write two articles about all the value out there. This might the multiple lineup kind of night as there is just so much upside that working everything around may prove tough. With the DFSR crew in the midst of holiday travel today, we’re going to give some high upside/ nice value guys.

 

Guards

 

Goran Dragic $12,837 $7,200 - Mid range priced guard against the Lakers? Yes please.

Trey Burke $10,526 $6,100 - Coming into his own. Love the prices here.

Ty Lawson $13,698 $7,800 - Should be an up and down game. Lawson under 14K is almost must start for me.

Kevin Martin $9,624 $6,200 - I like this price a great deal better on Draft Street, but you really can’t go wrong either way. His value is getting depressed right now. It won’t last.

 

Forwards

Anthony Davis $18,249 $9,100 - This is my start of the day. A must play at this price. The Brow is back!

Kevin Durant $19,805 $10,800 - KD under 20K? He will be a huge start. Find some bargain basement guys so you can get both KD and Davis in. Start a guy like…

Ersan Ilyasova $7,285 $4,600 - Starting for the Bucks today.

Derrick Favors $13,315 $6,600 - Not cheap, but the matchup is great.

 

Center

Andray Blatche (He’s a power forward on FD) $9,203 $5,600 - Price has dropped due to some poor shooting nights. Love him going against Bucks interior.

Marcin Gortat $12,361 $6,800 - Minny isn’t great against centers. Like the price a bit more on DS.

Andrea Drummond $15,116 $7,400 - Might be tough to get him in there, as there are plenty of deals at center, but he should be a beast tonight.

 

Site Specific Plays

 

Draft Street

Ricky Rubio $11,366 - Can’t shoot at all. But assists are so valuable here that he meets this $ amount easy.

Harrison Barnes $6,264 - Very risky, but the upside is there if he gets it going.

Victor Oladipo $7,411 - Remember when his price was in the 13k range? It wasn’t too long ago.

 

Fan Duel

JR Smith $4,400 - A must start on this site. No excuse to not have him in there.

Gordon Hayward $6,500 - Great matchup versus the Lakers

Brandon Knight $6,300 - Price still hasn’t reached his true output. Keep starting him.
