Best Value Picks on NBA Playoffs DFS Monday– Apr. 29, 2019

Playing DFS basketball in the playoffs can both be exciting and anxiety-causing, mainly because there are not much options in the board but still you can pretty much predict who will produce and who won't. If the main guys are feeling 60% out of their usual best, chances are, they will play and PLAY a lot of minutes. In a two-game slate, the second round series between the Sixers and the Raptors plus Denver-Portland will be up on the West Coast, so let's see what's up. The Studs Nikola Jokic, Read More

Best Value Picks For NBA Playoffs DFS Tuesday– Apr. 23, 2019

There will be four games Tuesday night so that will give us a lot of options for the best value picks but I especially would like to target teams whose backs are against the wall. Facing elimination, they will probably leave it all they have, making them great options for DFS Tuesday. The Studs Russell Westbrook, PG, OKC Thunder Soobum Im-USA TODAY Sports It will either be Russ or PG but I don't recommend both because you may be forced to water down the rest of the roster. Westbrook Read More

Best Bargain Options For NBA Playoffs DFS– April 16, 2019

It's a three-game Tuesday so we're going bargain-hunting again. Here are 5 of the best bargain options for April 16, 2019: 1.) Danny Green, SG, Toronto Raptors Dan Hamilton-USA TODAY Sports The Raptors could not afford to lose this one so they are going to go all-out and perhaps shorten their rotation. Green played 33 minutes in Game 1 and had 13 points and three rebounds but he will have to do more than that to secure a win. As a grizzled playoff vet, I don't have any doubts that Read More

3 Building Blocks For NBA DFS Jan. 1, 2019

DeAaron Fox, PG, Sacramento Kings

Fox has been an absolute monster, dropping more than 40 fantasy points in six consecutive games. The speedy point guard admitted he has been hounded by a minor shoulder issue but does not plan to miss any time. That means owners should continue to deploy him in their DFS lineups with no worries.
Fred VanVleet, PG, Toronto Raptors

FVV has been struggling with his shot but with Kyle Lowry out, he'll have every opportunity to perform. He has been averaging Read More

3 Value Picks For NBA DFS Thursday– Dec. 6, 2018

Dec. 6, 2018, Thursday, only has a three-game slate but in no way should it discourage you to pick your best lineup in a pool of SIX teams.

One strategy that I'd like to use is to go mid-heavy, that is, selecting players with middling salaries and go from there. Here are some of the choices that come to mind:
Gordon Hayward, SF, Boston Celtics

FanDuel: $6,400

DraftKings: $6,100

Yahoo: $23

Finally! Hayward exploded the last time out with 30 points, nine rebounds, eight assists, and 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
