NBA DFS Games to Target Today

Here are two best games to target for NBA DFS fantasy production today, Friday, January 31.

Suns vs. Warriors

Time: 7 p.m. ET

A critical Western Conference tilt sees the Phoenix Suns visiting the Golden State Warriors on Friday night. The Suns are hoping to snap a dismal trend — they’re just 5-20 in their last 25 road games at Golden State. 

While the Warriors have hovered around the middle of the league defensively — 18th in points allowed, 19th in 3-point percentage allowed, they excel at home. A key factor has been Andrew Wiggins’ stout defense at the small forward position, where the Warriors rank second in points allowed (18 per game). 

This spells trouble for Phoenix F Kevin Durant, who could face a tough night on the offensive end. With Golden State hitting its stride mid-season, the Suns may well continue their losing ways on the road against the Warriors.

NBA PrizePicks Pick: Suns F Kevin Durant 25.5 points — Less

Spurs vs. Bucks

Arguably the evening’s top matchup features two towering forces as the Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama squares off against Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks. While the Spurs excel at limiting scoring from smaller positions — fifth in the NBA with just 19 points allowed per game to shooting guards and small forwards, they struggle overall, ranking 19th in points allowed (113 per game) and 20th in threes conceded. 

This bodes well for the Bucks guards, including Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton.

On the other side, Wembanyama finally meets a team possessing defenders of similar size and a cohesive defensive system. The Bucks rank 10th in points allowed (108 per game) and eighth in three-point percentage allowed (35%). Expect an uphill battle for the young Spurs against a veteran Milwaukee Lineup. Look for the Bucks to use their experience to secure the victory against the Spurs.

PrizePicks suggestion: Bucks PG Damian Lillard 26.5 points — More

NBA DFS Picks Today for PrizePicks

Below, you’ll find the top NBA DFS picks today for PrizePicks for Friday, January 31.

Nuggets SF Michael Porter Jr. vs Sixers: 15.5 Points — More

NBA DFS Cheat Sheet Today, NBA DFS Picks - Michael Porter Jr.

Nuggets SF Michael Porter Jr. carries a 16-point projection on PrizePicks, which he has surpassed in 74% of his 47 games this season. Averaging 18.0 points per contest, he has also put up 19.0 points per game in five matchups against the 76ers since 2023. 

The Sixers allow opponents to shoot 36% from beyond the arc — ranking 21st in the NBA — which is right in Porter’s wheelhouse. He stands a strong chance of clearing this projection again, as he’s averaging 17.9 points per game this season, and 16.4 points in January.

Clippers G Kevin Porter Jr. vs Hornets: 6.5 Points — More

NBA DFS Cheat Sheet Today, NBA DFS Picks - Kevin Porter Jr.

Clippers guard Kevin Porter Jr.’s points projection is set at 6.5 today, a mark he has topped in 42 games this season while averaging 9.2 points in nearly 20 minutes per contest. With Clippers guard Kris Dunn sidelined by injury and averaging 15 minutes per game over his last four, Porter could see increased playing time. 

He faces a Charlotte Hornets defense that sits near the bottom of the league, giving up 112 points per game (13th-most in the NBA), making this an attractive matchup for Porter to continue exceeding his points projection.

Pistons PG Cade Cunningham vs. Mavericks: 6 Rebounds — More

NBA DFS Cheat Sheet Today, NBA DFS Picks - Cade Cunningham

Fresh off his All-Star selection, Cade Cunningham looks to top his 5.5-rebound projection — a feat he has accomplished 63% of the time in 43 games this season. In a matchup against the Mavericks last season, he had 9 rebounds.

The Mavs rank 22nd in the NBA in rebounds allowed to point guards, yielding about seven per game to the position, which sets up a favorable scenario for Cunningham on the boards.

Suns G Bradley Beal vs. Warriors: 12.5 Points — More

NBA DFS Cheat Sheet Today, NBA DFS Picks - Bradley Beal

Suns SG Bradley Beal faces the Golden State Warriors on Friday, who rank 21st in points allowed to shooting guards and 22nd in field-goal percentage allowed at the position. His 12.5-point projection is one he has eclipsed in 70% of his 33 contests this season. 

Moreover, Beal has topped this points projection in all four of his matchups against the Warriors dating back to the 2023 campaign, reinforcing the likelihood of another strong scoring performance. Although Beal has been inconsistent on a Suns team loaded with shooters, he is still averaging 14.3 points per game in January and 16.9 points on the season.
