NBA Playoffs DFS Best Value Picks– April 17, 2017

A two-game slate is usually very tricky but since it's the playoffs, you'll surely have options to round out your NBA playoffs DFS roster. Here are 6 NBA Playoffs DFS Best Value Picks that you may want to look at this Monday night: The Studs LeBron James, SF, Cleveland Cavaliers ($11,300) "The King" does not rest during this time of the year and since it's just a two-game slate, the pickings are slim. So why not pick the best of them all while we're at it? LeBron had 32-6-13 in Game 1 along Read More

NBA Playoffs 2017 Round 1 Predictions

The NBA playoffs are here so it's time to sound like an idiot again and predict the winners of the first round. You know what they have said about this year's playoffs-- that it's only going to be a collision course between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors. While that conclusion makes sense, we cannot be absolutely sure because anything can happen-- whether it's injuries (hope not) or just simply one team outplaying either one of the favorites. So before we get carried away Read More

NBA Playoffs DFS: Players To Avoid On Sunday– April 15, 2017

The first day of the 2017 NBA playoffs is upon us and that means another day of NBA daily fantasy basketball. NBA Playoffs DFS: Players To Avoid On Sunday-- April 15, 2017 Kyle Lowry, PG, Toronto Raptors ($8,200) vs Bucks Lowry has missed over a month because of a wrist injury and has recently joined the team in four games from April 5-12. That means he has his work cut out for him and nobody knows how his wrist will react. Moreover, the Bucks have a slew of long-limbed defenders (Tony Snell, Read More

5 Awesome NBA Stats Of The Day– April 9, 2017

5 Awesome NBA Stats Of The Day-- April 9, 2017 1. It's about 'Dame Time.' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaKQ-1JuZC4 Damian Lillard's franchise-record 59 points vs Utah is all the buzz right now but the real awesome stat for Dame and the Blazers? Lillard had ZERO turnovers in 42 minutes and the team had a total of THREE. 2. Speaking of the Portland-Utah game... ...Joe Johnson reached the 20,000-point plateau. He's the 42nd player to do it and the seventh active player to have that many Read More

NBA DFS Best Value Picks– April 9, 2017

NBA DFS Best Value Picks-- April 9, 2017 The Studs Russell Westbrook, PG, OKC Thunder ($13,900) I usually stay out of Russell Westbrook's way because of his salary. At this point, though, I have to make an exception. No one in Denver can stay in front of Westbrook and with him hungrier than ever to get that historic 42nd double-double, I just think he will come up with a 70-80 FP game. Kevin Love, PF, Cleveland Cavaliers ($7,800) Cleveland is stumbling to the playoffs and now that Kyrie Irving Read More

5 Awesome NBA Stats Of The Day– April 5, 2017

5 Awesome NBA Stats Of The Day-- April 5, 2017 1. "Lucky" 13? Shaun Livingston made only 12 three-pointers in his career and his 13th make couldn't be any luckier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWftq93FYJY 2. Speaking of three's, Pau Gasol is getting pretty good at it. If the season ended today, Pau Gasol would have the best three-point percentage of any player in a single season in NBA history (min 50 3FG) — Jordan Howenstine (@AirlessJordan) April 6, 2017 Not the case with Andre Read More

5 DFS Performances That Came Out Of Nowhere– March 29, 2017

1. Cory Joseph, PG, Raptors (42 .75 points) Joseph should be up there as far as stats are concerned with Kyle Lowry out for an extended period of time. That's not the case, however, at least not until tonight. Somebody should have seen it coming but not me: CoJo had a full stat line against the Hornets defense, scoring 18 points, seven rebounds, five assists, two steals, two blocks, and two treys. He did have 13 assists the other time around against the Magic but I thought it was a fluke. I should Read More

5 Awesome NBA Stats Of The Day– March 30, 2017

5 Awesome NBA Stats Of The Day-- March 30, 2017 1. All about the technicals: Kawhi Leonard: 465 NBA games, 1 Technical Kawhi never gets angry. A post shared by SB Nation (@sbnation) on Mar 28, 2017 at 2:40pm PDT Want something better? What about Mike Conley's 699 games and 0 (ZERO!) techs? DeMarcus Cousins played in 483 games and has 111 technical fouls called his way. Felt like it was way more than that. 2. Historical perspective on Russell Westbrook's season... 3. Cooking Read More

5 Players To Avoid In NBA DFS– March 29, 2017

5 Players To Avoid In NBA DFS-- March 29, 2017 1. DeMarcus Cousins, PF/C, New Orleans Pelicans ($9,600) vs Mavericks Both DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis average over 50 fantasy points in the past 10 days. Boogie, however, is dealing with every issue known to a basketball player, namely foul trouble and a sprained ankle. He is doubtful on Wednesday's tiff vs Dallas so unless you can make sure just before tip-off if the Pels will give Cousins a go, that salary should go to someone else. 2. Read More
