FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 5/10/23 That Tuesday card wasn't the best we've seen in these playoffs, but we're expecting a sensational slate here. We have two closeout games to talk about, with Miami and Los Angeles looking to end their respective series. I have a gut feeling that the home team is going to prevail in both of these games and extend each series. The recent form wouldn't indicate that, but the Knicks and Warriors have to play well with their backs against the wall in a 3-1 set. With that in mind, let's ride the starting point guards of those two teams.

Point Guard Stephen Curry FD - $10400 DK - $10000 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 50 DK - 53.02 If you're fading Chef Curry today, you should probably find another hobby. This former MVP is facing elimination in this Game 5, and he's been unstoppable in those circumstances in the past. The former MVP had 74 DraftKings points in the Game 7 against Sacramento and is averaging 29.3 points, 6.1 rebounds, 7.1 assists, and 1.6 steals across 41 minutes a night in his 12 career elimination games. That's well over 50 DK points per outing, and we have to assume that'll be his floor since Curry is looking at 40-45 minutes and 25-30 shots. We also saw Curry drop 76 fantasy points in Game 4, which is no surprise since LA allowed the second-most fantasy point to opposing PGs in the regular season. Jalen Brunson FD - $9000 DK - $8700 Opponent - MIA Proj Pts FD - 43.56 DK - 44.74 Brunson is clearly the Knicks best player at this point, and they're going to need him to step up in this must-win Game 5. That's what Brunson did in Game 4, collecting 58 DraftKings points across 44 minutes of play. That gives him a 45-point average across his last 11 outings, scoring at least 37 fantasy points in all of those. The usage is what's going to make him valuable because he could be looking at 25 shots and 45 minutes, just like Curry. Not to mention, Immanuel Quickley is expected to sit, and it wouldn't be shocking to see...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 4/30/23 We're going to take a little bit of a different approach when evaluating this slate. We only have two games to discuss, so we will offer up a stud and a value play at all five positions. It should be easy to mix and match these players in your lineup because it's tough to fade the superstars on such a critical slate. We have two Game 4s to discuss, and the two home teams are staring down the barrel of a 2-1 deficit. That should lead to some intense environments, and it'll be fun to watch these clubs battle.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Jamal Murray FD - $9200 DK - $7900 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 39.54 DK - 41.24 This DraftKings price is silly. Murray always seems to play his best basketball when the stakes are the highest, posting some of the best postseason numbers in the NBA. Over his last two playoffs, Murray is averaging 26.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 6.7 assists, and 1.0 steals per game. That equates to nearly 40 DraftKings points per game, which is right on par with his average over the last two months. Jamal has also slaughtered the Suns over the last three years, scoring at least 39 DK points in eight of their last 11 matchups. This guy should be locked into 40 minutes and 20 shots, making him way too cheap below $8K. Marcus Smart FD - $6100 DK - $5100 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 28.89 DK - 29.29 Smart doesn't have a huge ceiling, but this guy is too good to be this cheap. The veteran always seems to have a bump in playing time during the regular season, averaging nearly 35 DK points per game over the last five playoff years. That's all you can ask for from a $5K player, especially since Smart averaged nearly 30 DK points per game during the regular season. We've also seen Smart total a 33-point average across 31 minutes a night since the playoffs started, and it's hard to understand why he's so cheap in such a critical game. He's also had his way with the Sixers, scoring at least 30...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 4/23/23 This could be an exciting slate! We have four games to talk about, and all of them are Game 4s in their respective series. Only one of them is an elimination game, so to say these are "swing games" would be a massive understatement. Our favorite series of the opening round has been the Warriors-Kings matchup, so, let's kick things off with the two point guards from that epic battle!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Stephen Curry FD - $10100 DK - $9800 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 51.15 DK - 54.28 Nobody needs to be told just how amazing Chef Curry is, but this guy is different in the postseason. In 131 playoff games, Curry is averaging 26.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. That's not far off of his year-long averages, posting a 50-point average in the regular season. The slight uptick in shot attempts and minutes makes Curry even more enticing because he could be looking at 40 minutes in this must-win game. Sacramento is a spectacular matchup too, with the Kings ranked 26th in both points allowed and defensive efficiency in the regular season. That's on full display when you see that Curry has at least 41 fantasy points in all six of their matchups this year. De'Aaron Fox FD - $10200 DK - $9000 Opponent - GS Proj Pts FD - 46.16 DK - 47.37 Fox can go off against anyone, but this couldn't be a better matchup. De'Aaron is considered the fastest player in the NBA, which is scary since Golden State plays at the fastest pace in the league. That means more opportunities to provide fantasy value, and Fox has been fantastic whenever he sees them. He's scored at least 53 DraftKings points in all three games of this series, scoring at least 47 DK points in five of six meetings with the Warriors this year. This first-time All-Star also provided a 43-point average in the regular season, and it's clear that he's well on his way to superstardom. Not to mention, Golden State surrendered the second-most fantasy points to opposing PGs in the regular season. Shooting Guard Anthony Edwards FD -...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Wednesday, 4/19/23 These NBA Playoffs have been phenomenal. The first few days were amazing, but Tuesday's slate was full of blowouts. What's interesting about this Wednesday card is that we have almost every superstar on the injury report. That's rare at this time of the year, but it feels like we could be without Giannis Antetokounmpo and Ja Morant. That would be massive for this DFS card, so let's kick things off with someone benefiting from one of those absences.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Jrue Holiday FD - $9000 DK - $8200 Opponent - MIA Proj Pts FD - 44.13 DK - 45.57 This is one of the best two-way players in the NBA, and he always brings it when Milwaukee is in the postseason. That was on full display in Game 1, with Holiday dropping 53 DraftKings points, despite shooting 6-of-18 from the field. The massive game is no surprise with the boost in usage, averaging nearly 50 fantasy points per game when Antetokounmpo has been sidelined this year. Jrue is also carrying over some stellar form, scoring at least 53 fantasy points in three straight outings. Facing Miami usually concerns us, but Holiday has at least 45 DK points in three of their five meetings this year. If Giannis is out, Holiday needs to be in every lineup out there! Jamal Murray FD - $8700 DK - $7600 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 38.77 DK - 40.18 People might forget this, but Murray was one of the best playoff players before his ACL tear. In 34 career playoff games, Murray is averaging 24.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and 1.0 steals per game. That's the fantastic form we've seen from Murray for a month, averaging 40 DK points per game over his final 34 games. What's made Murray so magnificent in the postseason is his role, playing 38 minutes a night while attempting 19 shots a game. That sort of role would make anyone a great option, and we haven't even discussed this matchup. Minnesota owns a 27th OPRK against opposing PGs, with Murray amassing 42 and 50 DK points in their two most recent meetings. Shooting Guard Khris Middleton FD -...

FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Sunday, 4/16/23 How awesome was it to watch that opening day of the playoffs? The final two games of the night were spectacular, and I can't wait to keep it going. Every day is going to be a bloodbath because these teams play harder than ever before. We have four games making up this Sunday slate, but all the games are spread throughout the day. Get your lineups in early!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Jamal Murray FD - $8400 DK - $7600 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 38.77 DK - 40.18 We've seen Murray look like one of the best players in the postseason in the past, and that makes it hard to understand why he's just $8,000 with the way he's been playing. The talented guard has scored at least 37 DraftKings points in 15 of his last 18 games. He's also averaging 41 DK points per game in that span, doing a ton of playmaking with Nikola Jokic swallowing up so many defenders. That fantastic form should carry over well against Minnesota, ranked 19th in points allowed while surrendering the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing PGs. In their most recent meeting, Murray totaled 42 fantasy points! Mike Conley FD - $6900 DK - $6400 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 31.22 DK - 31.89 Not many people talked about Minnesota acquiring Conley at the trade deadline, and it's hard to understand why. This veteran has come in and become one of their leaders, scoring 31 and 44 DK points in the T'Wolves two play-in games. We've seen him play like that since the trade, with Conley compiling a 32-point average across his last 17 outings. That's all you can ask for from a sub-$7K player, and you know Minnesota will lean on their veteran in this opening road playoff game. He's had success against Denver all year, averaging 30 DK points per game in their two matchups. That's no surprise since the Nuggets own a 23rd OPRK against opposing PGs. Shooting Guard Norman Powell FD - $6700 DK - $5700 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 26.88 DK - 27.77 It was unclear who would benefit from Paul George's injury,...
