Top 5 FanDuel NBA DFS Picks Today

5. Jrue Holiday, Milwaukee Bucks

Holiday is projected for 35 points and is in the optimal line 41% of the time coming off a career-best game. He played 32 minutes in that one and will be facing the Boston Celtics in an ultra-competitive matchup. Though Khris Middleton’s return may discount Holiday’s performance a bit, it is not expected to matter in this case. Holiday projects for 18 points, six assists, five boards, and a stock and a half. The pace of the game against Boston is neutral, but since it is a two-game slate, Holiday should be rostered regardless. At $7,400, Holiday is likely underpriced, making him a valuable pick even with Middleton’s return.

4. Jamal Murray, Denver Nuggets

With a salary of $7,900, Murray is projected to score 37.5 points, which is just below his goal of 41.5 points. He appears in the optimal lineup 41% of the time, making him a reliable choice. Murray is expected to play 35 minutes against the New Orleans Pelicans, who are not known for their defense, and he has averaged 1.07 fantasy points per minute. While he may not contribute much in the way of defensive stats, he is projected for 22 points, 5.5 assists, 4.5 rebounds and possibly a steal. Murray’s main competition at point guard is Holiday, who has a similar profile but is slightly less expensive. Overall, Murray is a solid choice for DFS players looking for a reliable and productive point guard option.

3. Marcus Smart, Boston Celtics

Smart is projected for 27 fantasy points at a salary of $6,000. He appears in 42% of optimal lineups, projected for around 31 minutes, which is consistent with his recent playing time. Although Smart has been in a slump recently, the expectation is that he will return to his usual form, which is to average 0.85 fantasy points per minute and record 11 points, five assists, three rebounds and two steals. Additionally, Boston is in a favorable pace-up spot, which should lead to more possessions and potentially more scoring opportunities for Smart.

2. Aaron Gordon, Denver Nuggets

Gordon is a power forward with a price of $6,300 and a projected score of 29 — goal of 33. He appears in the optimal lineup 43% of the time despite being given only 29 minutes. He averages a fantasy point per minute and projects for 14.5 points on 20% usage, six boards, 2.5 assists and 1.5 stocks. The matchup against the Pelicans is a good one, and given the lack of value in filling out the forward positions, Gordon is an interesting option to consider.

1. Malcolm Brogdon, Boston Celtics

Brogdon is a point guard and shooting guard and is projected to score 26 points, with a goal of 30 points. Brogdon is in the optimal lineup 49% of the time and averages a fantasy point per minute. Although he has a conservative estimate of 26 minutes, there is potential for him to play up to 30 minutes, which increases his upside. He has a good point-per-dollar value and is one of the few players with significant minutes upside. Brogdon is expected to score 14.5 points, grab four boards, and provide 3.5 assists and a stock. While the revenge narrative may not be believable, the price tag and multi-position eligibility make him a compelling option for FanDuel NBA DFS.
