5 Best Bargain Picks For NBA DFS Tuesday– Jan. 2, 2018

1. Shabazz Napier, PG, Portland Trail Blazers Napier has filled in nicely for the injured Damian Lillard the last three games and has recorded at least 35 Fantasy Points in the last four and had 11 points, 5 rebounds, and six assists against Chicago. 2. Bogdan Bogdanovic, SF, Sacramento Kings With averages of 12.3 points, 5.3 assists, 3.3 rebounds with defensive numbers in the past 3 games, it looks like Bogdanovic will be a very good streamline pick for weeks to come. 3. Taurean Prince, Read More

5 Must-Start Players For NBA DFS Monday– Dec. 25, 2017

1. LeBron James, SF, Cleveland Cavaliers LBJ is among the highest-priced players, make no mistake about it. That is only reasonable because he still is the best player in the world, and among the top-3 in fantasy right now. Factor in the crazy atmosphere in this 2016 Finals matchup and you'll probably see the best game James played this season. He is basically averaging a triple-double these days but expect The King to be more assertive in this primetime matchup. There are a lot of high-priced stars Read More

5 Must-Start Players For NBA DFS Wednesday– Dec. 20, 2017

1. Julius Randle, PF, Los Angeles Lakers ($5,500) JR is No. 1 on this list for a reason. He will probably start Wednesday against the Houston Rockets with Brook Lopez nursing an ankle injury and that alone should net his fantasy points in the high 30's. The Kentucky product is averaging 13.3 points, 6.3 rebounds. 2.5 assists, and 1.3 blocks in the past four games while only playing 26 minutes a night. 2. Mario Hezonja, SF, Orlando Magic ($4,800) At long last, we had a Mario sighting in Read More

Kobe Tribute: 8 Awesome Kobe Bryant Stats You May Not Know

Kobe Bryant will have both of his jerseys (8 and 24) retired tonight at Staples Center, so in honor of the Black Mamba, let's take a look back at EIGHT of his most impressive (but lesser-known) stats he recorded during his historic career. 1. 81 Yep, we know all about the 81-point game-- second-highest scoring performance ever. Blah Blah. Here's what most people don't know: That night, he had 2/3 of his team's scoring output (and 36% of both team's scoring output) and that game pushed his average 1.1 Read More

5 Must-Start Players For NBA DFS Monday– December 18, 2017

1. Kevin Durant, SF/PF, Golden State Warriors Starting with the highest-paid guy, KD is a no-brainer must-start for every DFS team. You have earned as much when you average 34 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, and 3 blocks in a four-game span. Expect that kind of numbers especially with Steph Curry out, but since Draymond Green could be on the shelf as well against the Lakers, the Slim Reaper should go berserk in Kobe's jersey retirement night. 2. Omri Casspi, SF/PF, Golden State Warriors Casspi Read More

Top FanDuel NBA Picks Per Position– Dec. 11, 2017

Point Guards Damian Lillard, Portland Trail Blazers ($9,300) Dame has been a usage monster since Jusuf Nurkic went down and he has not disappointed DFS owners. He has hit at least 40.7 fantasy points in the past seven games with a high of 55.3 FP. Almost the entire offensive load will practically be on his shoulders, so expect Lillard to be at the 28-point, 6-rebound, 7.5-assist and over 4 trey-a-game average he's had in the past four games. Rajon Rondo, New Orleans Pelicans ($5,600) After dropping Read More

5 Awesome NBA Stats Of The Day– Dec. 10, 2017

1. Dwight's Renaissance D12 is averaging 15.5 points and 12.5 rebounds on 55% shooting in just under 30 minutes night. He is on pace to become the 5th player in NBA history to average at least 12 boards in 11 seasons (behind Chamberlain, Russell, Bob Pettit, and Dolph Schayes). 2. Dead-eye Ryan... Ryan Anderson is shooting 77.8% from deep when being assisted by Chris Paul. 3. Guess how many times Russell Westbrook has ball-screened for Melo? *Drum Roll* ZERO! 4. Speaking of Carmelo Read More

5 Must-Start Players In NBA DFS Saturday– Dec. 9, 2017

1. Nicolas Batum, SG/SF, Charlotte Hornets People forget Batum has long been a fantasy stud and he is beginning to show that after missing the early part of the season. Though he doesn't give you excellent percentages, Batum can pass the hell out of the ball, averaging almost six dimes over the last 5 games. He has also averaged almost 12 points and almost six rebounds during that span. The Hornets, are playing on a tail end of a back-to-back, so there's a chance fatigue will set in. Nevertheless, Read More

5 Awesome NBA Stats Of The Day– Dec. 1, 2017

1. Another milestone for The King... Congrats to @KingJames of the @cavs for moving up to 10th on the all-time Field Goals Made list with 10,660! #ThisIsWhyWePlay pic.twitter.com/GrnqxWfIzB — NBA (@NBA) December 1, 2017 2. Just a thought: Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram, the No. 1 and No. 2 pick of 2016, got their first 30-point games on the same night. 3. Proof that the NBA is a player's league: Mike D'Antoni's Rockets is sixth in the NBA in defensive efficiency while Tom Thibodeau's Wolves Read More

NBA DFS Basketball Best Value Picks– Nov. 29, 2017

The Studs Bradley Beal, SG, Washington Wizards ($8,100) With John Wall on the shelf for a couple of weeks, Bradley Beal will be the focus of the Wizards' offense. That would mean an uptick in almost every offensive category, especially assists in which he had seven in a loss to Portland. He will not be as efficient as he usually is, but since DFS hardly punishes inefficiency, Beal should be a must-start in all DFS leagues. LaMarcus Aldridge, PF/C, San Antonio Spurs ($8,100) LMA just finished Read More
