Before we dive into the Golden State Warriors vs. Houston Rockets game let’s review the rules for the Draftkings single game showdown contest.

Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules

You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.

FanDuel NBA DFS Picks

MVP-Stephen Curry, Guard, Golden State Warriors $14,500

Golden State guard Stephen Curry was the leader in the backcourt that the Golden State Warriors needed to advance to the 2023 NBA playoffs. Let’s take a look at Curry’s game data from the 2023 NBA regular season to better shed light on my previous statement.

In the 74 games that Stephen Curry played for the Golden State Warriors in the 2023 NBA regular season, Curry averaged a rather impressive 26.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.4 blocks a game.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the Warriors victory over the Wizards just mentioned, Stephen Curry tallied 34.6 FanDuel points.

In summary, I fully expect Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry to post quality fantasy numbers in tonight’s regular season matchup with the Boston Celtics. For that specific reason, I am backing Stephen Curry at the MVP position for this one game FanDuel NBA DFS contest.

Star-Jayson Tatum, Forward, Boston Celtics $16,000

Prior to discussing my Draftkings picks for the Mavericks vs. Warriors game, let’s review an important note regarding the rules and scoring for the single game showdown contests.

For those readers who are not aware, the rules and scoring for DraftKings single game showdown contests are vastly different than the traditional classic contests offered by the platform.

If you need to review the specific rules for the single game showdown contests feel free to check out the Draftkings website.

Here are my Draftkings picks for tonight’s Dallas Mavericks vs. Golden State Warriors matchup.

Draftkings Picks

Captain-Luka Doncic $13,000

Entering tonight’s game, the Dallas Mavericks are currently ranked fifth in the Western Conference playoff standings. Having stated that, a big reason why the Mavericks are playing relatively consistent quality basketball this season is Dallas guard Luka Doncic.

Let’s dive into a recent sample size of Doncic’s recent statistical data to get a better idea of his recent performance on the basketball court. In his last three games played, Doncic has averaged 33.7 points, 10.3 rebounds, 8.3 assists, and 2 steals a game.

There is no doubt in my mind that Luka Doncic will post quality fantasy numbers versus this Golden State Warriors team tonight.

Flex Plays

Stephen Curry $9,400

How important is Golden State shooting guard Stephen Curry to the Warriors offense? In 74 games played this season, Curry has averaged 26.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 5 assists a game.

It should be noted that Stephen Curry will be facing a Dallas Mavericks defense that has had issues containing opposing point guards recently. In the last 30 games played in the NBA, the Mavericks are ranked a rather low 22nd in total Draftkings points allowed a game (50.7) to the point guard position.

I fully expect Stephen Curry to continue playing outstanding basketball versus this vulnerable Dallas Mavericks defense later today.

P.J. Washington $6,000

Dallas power forward P.J. Washington has been a key contributor to this Dallas Mavericks team in 2024. Through 74 games played this season, Washington has averaged 12.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1 block a game.

Additionally, I like P.J. Washington’s matchup this evening. Why? The Golden State Warriors have struggled defending opposing power forwards lately. In the last 15 games played in the NBA, the Warriors are ranked 30th in total Draftkings points allowed (57.4) a game to the power forward position. Considering the fact that the NBA has 30 teams in the entire league, being ranked 30th in clearly not good.

Additional flex plays I like: Kyrie Irving $10,600: Trayce Jackson-Davis $7,000: Derrick Jones $2,200: Gary Payton $1,800.

Before we dive into this evening’s Warriors vs. Mavericks game, let’s review the rules for Draftkings single game showdown contest.

FanDuel Single Game Contest Rules

Here are the single game contest rules. You have $60,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team MVP. The MVP accumulates 2x times the standard FanDuel fantasy points value.

The remaining four players in your lineup will be the star, pro, and flex plays. The star player will receive 1.5x the standard fantasy points value. The pro player will accumulate 1.2x the standard fantasy points value.

The final two flex positions will receive the standard points value. Having stated that, it is important for you to identify the correct player for your MVP position if you hope to win a FanDuel single game contest.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game contest, I highly recommend that you check out the FanDuel website for more details.

Here are my FanDuel Player Selections for this evening’s Golden State Warriors vs. Dallas Mavericks matchup.

FanDuel Player Picks

MVP-Luka Doncic $17,500

How important is Dallas guard Luka Doncic to the Mavericks offense? In his last five games played, Luka Doncic has averaged an impressive 35.6 points, 10.8 rebounds, 11.2 assists, and 1.2 blocks a game. I think it’s fair to say that the Mavericks offense runs through the Dallas point guard.

It should also be mentioned that Doncic will be facing a Warriors defense that has had issues containing opposing point guards recently. In the Warriors last 15 games played, Golden State is ranked a rather low 20th in total FanDuel points (47.3) allowed to the point guard position.

Having stated that, I fully expect that Doncic will have offensive success versus this Warriors defense tonight.

Flex Plays

Chris Paul $13,000

Last week, talented Golden State point guard Stephen Curry injured his ankle in a contest with the Chicago Bulls. The injury will cause Curry to miss tonight’s game versus the Mavericks.

The loss of Curry is a big blow to the Golden State offense. Who will benefit the most from Curry’s absence this evening? For me, the answer to that question is Warriors point guard Chris Paul.

In the Warriors first game without Curry in the starting lineup, Chris Paul accumulated 19 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists in Golden State’s win over the Spurs on Monday.  In my opinion, Chris Paul will continue to produce from a statistical standpoint versus the Mavericks later today.

Kyrie Irving, $14,500

How well has Dallas guard Kyrie Irving been playing in 2024? Through 65 games played this season, Irving is averaging 25.2 points, 5 rebounds, 4.9 assists, and 1.2 steals a game.

I expect Kyrie Irving to continue to his quality play in tonight’s contest with the Warriors. Irving will definitely be in the vast majority of my DFS lineups for this one game slate.

Flex plays I like this evening: P.J. Washington $9,000: Andrew Wiggins $8,500: Trayce Jackson-Davis $5,000.

Warriors vs Nets Player Prop Bets – Stephen Curry Over 29.5 Points (-120)

Stephen Curry erupted for a season-high 60 points in the previous game against the Atlanta Hawks, but the Warriors still lost. Curry was excellent from the floor (22-38) and made a season-high 10 three-pointers. He now scored 30+ points in three of the past four games and has a great matchup against the Nets on Monday.

Brooklyn allows 26.8 ppg to the opposing point guards this year. Andrew Wiggins exited the last game with a sprained foot and is highly unlikely to play against the Nets, which means Curry’s usage will be even higher tonight.

Curry scored 37 points the last time he met the Nets, and I am pretty confident he’ll have another 30-point display here. Expect him to receive a lot of minutes.

Mikal Bridges Over 22.5 Points (-110)

Mikal Bridges played just 32 minutes in a blowout win over the 76ers but managed to score 23 points, including five three-pointers. For three consecutive games, Bridges made 5+ triples, and I am backing him to stay hot from downtown against the Warriors, who allow 13.2 threes per game this season.

Bridges leads the Nets in points (21.9) and minutes per game (35.1) this season. He has a favorable matchup against Klay Thompson, who will move to a small forward position due to Andrew Wiggins’ injury. Thompson is not a good defender, and I seriously doubt he can cope with Bridges’ athleticism and perimeter threat.

Bridges didn’t have a good shooting display the last time he faced the Warriors. He was 6-17 and finished with 18 points. Golden State allows 21.7 ppg to the opposing small forwards, and Mikal will score at least 23 in this one.

Hopefully, both of the Warriors vs Nets Player Prop Bets will be winners. That’s not all for the NBA player picks on Monday, February 5, as we invite you to check out the Raptors vs Pelicans Player Prop Bets.
