NBA Picks

G1- Paul George IND- George is hot last two weeks and has a good matchup going against New Orleans, one of the bottom third teas in Hollinger Index ratings. This second year guy should have a good enough day to cover his 23 or so points he needs to get value.

G2- John Wall WAS- Should be a close game here for Wall. We're hoping for a shootout and Wall stepping his game up. With a matchup against Kyrie Irving we like Wall to try and show the rookie that he's the better first overall pick.

G3- Kyrie Irving CLE- This rookie is playing like one of the best guards in basketball right now. It's evident that he will be a great player for many years to come. Washington is a great matchup for Irving and he is sure to get his stats.

F1- Josh Smith ATL- Had a great performance last night, and we expect that to continue versus the Thunder. Smith will get his rebounds and is almost guaranteed to get a double double. Smith is a must play.

F2- Rudy Gay MEM- Detroit is a great matchup for Gay. Being on the road usually limits Memphis' offense, but it doesn't mean they won't have any offense. Look to Gay to lead the way offensively versus the Pistons.

F3- Hedo Turkoglu ORL- Usually not a fan of Hedo, but his outside shooting should be deadly versus the Bucks. Ilyasova/Gooden aren't used to defending out around the 3 point line, and if they are forced to Hedo should have a great night. For just over 9k, he has been a consistently good player.

C1- Marc Gasol MEM- We are still unsure of how Gasol didn't get his value last night. Versus Detroit though, there is no way he doesn't. Monroe is a great player, but he is only one guy. Look for Gasol to get his value and then some as the Grizzlies win on the road.

C2- Chris Kaman NO- This should be an easy one by now. We are still wondering how he is under 12k on Draftstreet. This is the easiest pick of the night. Go Kaman.

C3- Kendrick Perkins OKC- Perkins is coming off a great game the other day vs the Magic where he got more than 2x his cost. Perkins should do the same against versus Zaza and the Hawks today. At under 10k we like him for around 22 fantasy points.
