5 NBA DFS Targets For Thursday– Feb. 8, 2017

1. Paul George, SF, OKC Thunder PG13 has been an absolute stud as of late, averaging 30.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and three steals over the past seven days. Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony are both questionable going into the Lakers game, so expect George to be very busy. Regardless, George is on a really hot streak right now and he should be on your short list of DFS targets on Thursday. 2. Bradley Beal, SG, Washington Wizards Another building block for DFS Thursday is Bradley Read More

Top DFS NBA Picks for 2-8-18. Locks and Value Picks

Both James Harden and LeBron James are in action today, highlighting 8 total games on the schedule. Both are must haves in your daily lineup. So, of course, you will need to carefully choose some value picks to counteract the big salary blow these two stars will cost you. Here are my top 3 picks (other than James Harden and LeBron James) for tonight’s matchups. The prices and fantasy points referred to are DraftKings and FanDuel numbers. Josh Jackson vs. Lakers Josh Jackson will run you $5900 Read More

3 Building Blocks For NBA DFS Monday– Jan. 30, 2018

Bradley Beal, SG, Washington Wizards Beal was a bit of a disappoint fantasy-wise against Atlanta the last time out but that's because they basically blew the Hawks out of the water. That won't happen against a really good Thunder team on Monday and I'd like to throw it out there that Beal torched OKC for 41 last Jan. 25. The first-time All-Star is averaging 26.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.9 assists, and 1.2 steals over the past 30 days. Lou Williams, SG/PG, Los Angeles Clippers Lou "Not Read More

NBA DFS Players to Target and Avoid – January 26, 2018

Avoid: Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF, MIL ($11,600) He’s returning from a knee injury tonight, but I wouldn’t put him in your lineups right away. I like to give guys returning from injury a game or two to show me they’re healed, especially when their price is $11,600. Take DeMarcus Cousins, LeBron James, or one of the other high-ticket guys instead. Isaiah Thomas, PG, CLE ($6,200) I would avoid all Cleveland players not named LeBron until after the All-Star break. Thomas is tempting given all Read More

5 Must-Start Guys For NBA DFS Monday– Jan. 22, 2018

1. Khris Middleton, SG, Milwaukee Bucks ($8,600) K-Mid picked up the slack in the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo versus Philly, posting a huge triple-double with 23 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists. The Greek Freak will be out once again Monday so even though FanDuel increased Middleton's salary by a whopping 1,200 bucks since his last outing, you'd definitely want him on your DFS lineup against the Suns. 2. Eric Bledsoe, PG, Milwaukee Bucks ($8,300) You can argue that Bled is a little Read More

NBA DFS Players to Target – Jan. 18, 2018

There are only 4 games tonight so it’ll make choices even more difficult. Thankfully, one of those teams is Cleveland, who have been generous in giving up points to opponents. LeBron James, CLE, $12,500 LeBron should be angry and motivated after a loss to the Warriors on Monday and all the drama that ensued afterwards. LBJ has put up 60.1 and 63.6 FP in his last two games, both of which outscore even his high FPPG average. The Magic are arguably the NBA’s worst team, but Cleveland’s struggles Read More

NBA DFS Players to Target on Jan. 11, 2018

DeMar Derozan, SG, TOR ($9,600) Derozan has been a low-key MVP candidate this year and has separated himself from Kyle Lowry as the clear leader of the Raptors. No one really talks about the Raptors, or Derozan, but he’s been on an absolute tear lately, averaging 46 FPPG over his last 4 games. He gets the Cavs tonight at 8:00pm, and Cleveland has been abysmal on defense lately. We saw what Jimmy Butler did against LeBron and Co. and I expect another huge game from DeRozan. His price is relatively Read More

5 Must-Start Guys For NBA FanDuel DFS Wednesday– Jan. 10, 2018

1. Markieff Morris, PF, Washington Wizards ($5,100) Kieff has been a force on the glass lately with three double-doubles in a row and four consecutive double-digit rebounding efforts. Best thing is, his shooting has also found its mark in that span, hitting at a 57% clip from the floor. Next matchup will be Utah, which can be tough on the interior, but Morris salary is middling at best, still making him one of the must-start guys for NBA DFS Wednesday. 2. Eric Gordon, SG, Houston Rockets ($7,100) Retaining a Read More

January 4th DraftKings Lineup.

I hope everyone had a chance to use the core lineup I gave on Monday. DeRozan had a career night and the other 4 had point totals well above their FPPG average. Nurkic and Valentine were both under 5% owned. Tonight is only a 2 game slate, my wheelhouse is 5-9 games in a night, but I was able to create a lineup that looked decent. My 8 player team broke down to 4 different FPPG tiers; 2 in the 40s, 2 in the 30s, 2 in the 20s and 2 in the 10s. The 40s- Durant 48.8, Paul 42.2 I was Read More

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
