Expert NBA DFS DraftKings, FanDuel and Yahoo DFS daily plays for Friday, January 31

NBA DFS (Friday, January 31)

This is Corey Parson's latest edition SI Fantasy's

NBA DFS daily plays.

We have a big NBA DFS slate for a Friday night. All seven games on the main slate have a total of over 220, so fantasy points should be easy to come by, and there are also a ton of marquee matchups.

Memphis vs. New Orleans has the highest total on the slate, and both of these young teams are competitive.

Jaren Jackson Jr. will not play for Memphis due to suspension. The Mavericks and Rockets play in Houston, but Luka Doncic is out with an ankle injury. The night concludes in Los Angeles, where the Lakers face the Blazers.

PG/SG Devin Booker, Phoenix Suns

DraftKings: $9,100, FanDuel: $8,900, Yahoo: $40

Devin Booker's skill set alone and the way he has been paying of late makes him one of the best plays on the slate. Couple that with the disappointment of not making the All-Star team, I think we should see Booker go off tonight.

SG Zach LaVine, Chicago Bulls

DraftKings: $8,500, FanDuel: $8,300, Yahoo: $40

LaVine, just like Booker, will be looking to show off this evening due to him not being selected to the NBA All-Star team. LaVine already has a 36-point game against the Nets.

PF/C Kristaps Porzingis, Dallas Mavericks

DraftKings: $6,800, FanDuel: $6,400, Yahoo: $29

Porzingis will have to play extended minutes and take more shots with Luka Doncic out for Dallas tonight. Last time out versus the Rockets, Porzingis had a double-double and scored 51 fantasy points.

C Jonas Valanciunas, Memphis Grizzlies

DraftKings: $6,300, FanDuel: $6,300, Yahoo: $28

JV will have to come up big for the Grizzlies in this showdown game. Jaren Jackson Jr. is out for Memphis, so JV will pick up more of the scoring load. The Pelicans are 24th in the league versus opposing big men.

PG/SG Colby White, Chicago Bulls

DraftKings: $3,400, FanDuel: $3,800, Yahoo: $10

The rookie has flashed at times this season. When he gets hot from three-point land, he can take over a game. White gets a Nets team that is dead last vs. opposing point guards. The Bulls are down four players. The former Tar Heel should get plenty of chances to exceed fantasy value.

New on Sports Illustrated: NBA Draft Big Board 3.0: Top 80 Prospect Rankings

Ranking the top 80 players in the 2021 NBA draft with the NCAA tournament in the rearview. View the original article to see embedded media. With three months until draft night and the NBA’s regular season winding down , the league at large has begun shifting full focus to the off-season. Players have until May 30 to declare as early entrants for the draft, after which point the predraft process will open up in full, leading up to the combine and lottery at the end of June . Our Big Board is long overdue for an update, and fully expanded out to 80 prospects as we all attempt to make sense of the big picture moving forward. As usual, the Big Board is primarily based on my personal evaluations from both live viewings and on film, in many cases dating back several years. The rankings also incorporate feedback and opinions I glean from NBA executives, scouts, and others around the industry. This is not a mock draft, and team fit is not considered, but it is also intended to be somewhat

New on Sports Illustrated: The Patriots’ Post-Brady Era Begins Now

-

In Mac Jones, Bill Belichick drafted a Round 1 quarterback for the first time ever—and looks to usher in a return to dominance. Of course the first time Bill Belichick drafts a first-round quarterback, it’s one for whom he could get an unvarnished scouting report from good buddy Nick Saban —and without even having to do any draft-day maneuvering. Now, the post-Tom Brady era in New England really begins. The Patriots treated 2020 as something of a gap year, with a league-high eight opt-outs due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a starting quarterback, Cam Newton, who didn't sign with the team until June. They were, for the first time in two decades, mediocre, but that 7–9 record bought them the ticket to a fresh start: the No. 15 pick, which they used Thursday night on Alabama QB Mac Jones. The oft-cited statistic that Belichick had never drafted a QB higher than pick No. 62—used on Jimmy Garoppolo in 2014—was inherently flawed, given that Belichick had Brady as a starter for 19 of

The NCAA Board of Governors unanimously voted to extend president Mark Emmert's contract through Dec. 31, 2025.
