NBA DFS Picks Breakdown on DraftKings and FanDuel (Saturday ...

In his 138 minutes this season, he has produced 0.85 DraftKings points and 0.84 FanDuel points per minute.He has started each of the last three games for the Grizzlies, exceeding salary-based expectations in two of those starts with an average Plus/Minus of 5.96 DraftKings points and 7.5 FanDuel points. Gilyard is projected to play 32.8 minutes on Saturday, and in his only other game with over 30 minutes, he had a season-high 14 points, eight assists, and four boards for 34 DraftKings points and 31.8 FanDuel points.Gilyard will have a chance to run the show, and he gets a great matchup on Saturday in which to take the helm. He’s projected for a 30.3% usage rate in 41.2 minutes against the Spurs, which should set him up for a big bounce-back game.So far this season, Bane has produced 1.24 DraftKings points and 1.21 FanDuel points per minute. He has scored double-digit points in four of his past five games and added five assists on Friday while helping to cover for the continued absence of Jones.While the Spurs have dropped seven straight, Branham has averaged 0.74 DraftKings points and 0.72 FanDuel points per minute during that stretch. He’s a little boom-or-bust with his scoring but brings a high ceiling for a play at $4K at FanDuel and just $3,800 on DraftKings.On DraftKings, Ziaire Williams can slide to shooting guard and brings the second-highest Projected Plus/Minus at the position. His non-scoring numbers are always there, and he has produced 1.12 DraftKings points and 1.13 FanDuel points per minute on the season.With Herro still sidelined, Butler projects for 26.3% usage in his return to Chicago, and he is a good play with a high ceiling on Saturday. As long as he’s ready to carry his regular workload on the second game of this back-to-back, he should be one of the best values on the board.Johnson has the second-highest Projected Plus/Minus at the position on FanDuel, behind only Bane and just ahead of Butler. He is averaging 1.02 DraftKings points and 0.99 FanDuel points per minute on the season, but his ceiling games have been especially good since he has been averaging season-highs in rebounds and assists to go with his 15.8 points per game.If Johnson is out or limited, Branham, Julian Champagnie and Doug McDermott will get added value.Brandon Ingram has been productive since returning from injury and lands just behind Bane and Butler in the projections. On FanDuel, Webanyama has the second-highest Projected Plus/Minus on the whole slate, just behind his teammate Zach Collins.Wemby had 27 points and nine rebounds in 31 minutes against the Kings on Friday night and exceeded salary-based expectations on FanDuel for the third time in his last four games. On the season, the rookie has produced an impressive 1.33 DraftKings points and 1.32 FanDuel points per minute.He’s projected for 32 minutes with a 31% usage rate on Saturday against the Grizzlies. Reid has an 83% Bargain Rating on DraftKings and has scored double-digit points in three straight games.Reid is priced up on FanDuel, but Santi Aldama is eligible at center and brings the best Projected Plus/Minus of the plays under $5K. He’s still finding his place in Memphis’s rotation after a late start to the season due to an ankle injury, but he brings a high ceiling against San Antonio.I’ve been riding Bam Adebayo lately, and I like him in this matchup as well, but he doesn’t have quite the same value potential as Wemby or even Towns now that Butler is back to carrying more of the offensive workload for Miami.Zach Collins had posted a few down games but looked great on Friday with 28 points, eight rebounds, and five assists for 43.5 DraftKings points and 54.1 FanDuel points. He has fallen short of salary-based expectations in five straight games, and with SGA taking up so much usage, he doesn’t have a high enough ceiling to be worth his current price tag.If you decide to punt your center spot, Kevin Love projects to be the best punt play while it’s also worth noting that Sandro Mamukelashvili is back in the rotation for the Spurs in case they decide to set or rest their big men.On Saturday night, the NBA has five games lined up for the main slate on DraftKings and FanDuel, starting at 7:00 p.m. ET when the Pelicans host the Timberwolves.
