Players To Own
LeBron James, PF, Los Angeles Lakers
LBJ always shows up on big games and I'd count this one as such because it will be the first time he'll return to Cleveland wearing a Lakers uniform. His return to Miami saw him produce a season-high 51 and while I don't expect that scoring output this time around, I also don't think he'll be a disappointment in his return home.
Marc Gasol, C, Memphis Grizzlies
Gasol has begun to hit his groove the last two games, producing 21.5 points,

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

Andre Drummond, C, DET $9,600
Drummond is on a tear, scoring 56.9, 53.2, 42, and 59 FP in his last four games. He’s got 18 double-doubles in 24 games this season. Even at $9,600 he’s worth it due to the fact he’s got a legit shot to grab 20+ rebounds every night. He’s even chipping in 4 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.6 steals a game. If you drafted him in your season-long leagues then you’re definitely getting a good return on investment.
Eric Beldsoe, PG, MIL $7,300
Bledsoe scored 19 points

1. Giannis Antetokounmpo, PG/SF, Milwaukee Bucks
It's not that the Greek Freak will produce anything less than a 45-point DFS night, but I just don't like the fact that they're on the tail end of a back-to-back. Of course, I could be wrong and the possibility that Giannis will go ballistic against Portland after a loss to LeBron James and the Cavs but I favor James Harden (without CP3) at home against Dallas or Blake Griffin against Phoenix.
2. Elfrid Payton (PG, Orland Magic) and Dennis Smith

NBA DFS Basketball Value Picks-- Dec. 17, 2016
Point Guards
Eric Bledsoe, Phoenix Suns ($7,700)
Bled is one of the higher-priced studs in the position you must keep an eye on. Notwithstanding the dud against San Antonio, Bledsoe has recorded four 50-FP games in the last six, averaging 41.6 fantasy points during that span. In comparison, Steph Curry only had a 40-FP average in the past seven games and he is $800 more expensive.
Reggie Jackson, Detroit Pistons ($5,400)
Jackson saw his minute

We have opening night out of the way now. And hopefully (in my case), the opening DFS basketball jitters as well. On a massive 10-game night, here are some of out best options. (Note: All stats and salaries are from Draft Kings.)
NBA DFS Basketball Value Picks:
The Studs
Russell Westbrook, PG, OKC Thunder ($11,500)
This is the first installment of FB101's DFS Basketball Value Picks so I better be right. Russell Westbrook is going to be on a mission this year and in his first game, we should

Overview:
What's not to like about the Phoenix Suns? They're full of solid rotation players worthy of a fantasy roster on anybody's team. Though they lack a true superstar, Phoenix does things by committee which is a 'glass half full, glass half empty' type of thing depending on who's looking.
If I have it my way, I think the pros does outweigh the cons and it's the reason why this team is at least 7-deep when it comes to roster-worthy hoopsters.
Eric Bledsoe and Brandon Knight looks like

Daily Fantasy Lineup Advice March 25
Thirteen games on a Thursday evening means it's time to party. Here are some guys worth a look on March 25.
The Studs
DeMarcus Cousins, C ($9,700)
Call him DMC, call him Boogie, this kid is scary good. Cousins bullied Philadelphia to post 33 and 17 with three assists, four steals, and four blocks-- good for 7 and a half Fantasy Points. That's about as high as anyone can get without having a triple double!
The Kings visit the Suns next and while they may

Here are some players you might want to look at in Sunday's 11-game slate. Again, no Russell Westbrook in here.
Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Advice March 22
The Studs
John Wall, PG ($8,700)
You know what stuff a basketball player is made of when they play hurt AND still play well. John Wall brushed off a sore ankle against Utah and dropped 44 FP against the Clippers. Against Sacramento, there'll be no unfavorable match-up for the quick guard so something in the 40-50 range is inevitably

The third returns for the NBA All-Star ballots are in and as usual, there were some surprises to and fro in both conferences.
In the East, Pau Gasol is the 2nd leading vote-getter in the frontcourt comfortably behind LeBron James and slightly above Carmelo Anthony. The backcourt's vote leader is John Wall (very well-deserved) but oft-injured superstar Dwyane Wade is in Wall's rear-view mirror, over a hundred thousand votes atop Kyle Lowry and Kyrie Irving and nearly twice the votes Jimmy Butler
