NBA DFS Basketball Value Picks– Nov. 13, 2016

NBA DFS Basketball Value Picks-- Nov. 13, 2016 The Studs Kemba Walker, PG, Charlotte Hornets ($7,900) There's no other Russell Westbrook, but in the past few games, Walker is doing his best Russ impression. And at a less than $3,000 price tag, he is worth every penny. In the past three games, Walker averaged over 53 fantasy points that culminated in a 61-FP performance vs the Toronto Raptors. The Hornets draw Cleveland in their next game, but I doubt the Cavs defense could do something against Read More

Best NBA DFS Basketball Value Picks– November 5, 2016

Best NBA DFS Value Picks-- November 5, 2016 The Studs Giannis Antetokounmpo, PG, Milwaukee Bucks ($9,500) Of course, the biggest studs from around here are Russell Westbrook and James Harden but if you're looking for somebody cheaper, The Greek Freak ain't so bad. Giannis posted 55.3 fantasy points in only 33 minutes of work last Thursday and don't be surprised if he replicates or surpasses that number against Sacramento. Chris Paul, PG, LA Clippers ($8,100) CP3 may be the most productive player Read More

NBA DFS Basketball Value Picks Oct. 28

NBA DFS Basketball Value Picks Oct. 28 The Studs Steph Curry, PG, Golden State Warriors (vs Pelicans), $9,300 Do you really think the Warriors are going to lose two games in a row to start the season? And Steph Curry putting up only 30.3 fantasy points the next game? I can't really imagine another scenario other than Curry and the gang smoking the Pelicans while the two-time MVP catching fire en route to a 45-50 FP game. I can pretty much say the same for Kevin Durant but KD is $300 more expensive Read More

5 Awesome NBA Basketball Stats Of The Day

Yep, it's still the preseason but for fantasy basketball aficionados, stats is life. 1. NBA is looking to speed it up... Per NBA, replay time last season reduced by 40%, w/replay ref making some calls.

2016 NBA Fantasy Basketball Team Outlook: Oklahoma City Thunder

The OKC Thunder won't be as good as they were in previous seasons. You may already know why but that only makes things more interesting for the Thunder fantasy-wise. Some guys will and should be ready to step up without Kevin Durant and it would be fun watching Russell Westbrook go and try to replicate Oscar Robertson's triple-double season just too keep them in hunt for a playoff berth. As much as we talk about Durant leaving, the Thunder also made noticeable changes to their core. They shipped Read More

5 More Fantasy Basketball Sleepers Spotted During NBA Preseason

Everything in the NBA preseason should be taken with a grain of salt for a lot of reasons. Coaches sit starters half the time, training camp invitees play a lot, and there just wasn't enough to go around. On the other hand, however, coaches use this time to see what they can get out of their new recruits or second-year players. That said, not everyone disappoints, as these 5 players below have shown. They may need to prove themselves more to earn playing time in the regular season but we sure Read More

NBA Fantasy Basketball Team Outlook: Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics teams of decades past (maybe except the mid-90's) always revolved around superstars. From Larry Bird and Kevin McHale to Antoine Walker, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen, it's the franchise's way of securing winning campaigns and championships. However, the past few years hasn't been that way. You can't fault GM Danny Ainge for not trying, but superstars are hard to come by. That turned out to be a positive in fantasy basketball since Brad Stevens was forced Read More
