5 Best Bargain Options For NBA DFS Dec. 14, 2019

This time around, there are way more hits than misses in our last bargain tips, starting with the Alex Len's double-double: Alex Len- Len has been monstrous since he's been out of the starting lineup, compiling a double-double (11 points, 13 rebounds) plus two assists, a steal, and a block in only 21 minutes. That's good for over 35 FP, awesome value for someone who costs 12 bucks in Yahoo and $4,300 at DK. Mitchell Robinson- Pretty good with 14 points and nine rebounds (over 27 FP) but the lack Read More

5 Best Bargain Options For NBA DFS Dec. 13, 2019

We brought you three bargain options (plus other suggestions) for Dec. 12, 2019 and here's a short recap: Jakob Poeltl-- Fairly solid, but delivered what I thought was the worst-case scenario for the Austrian big man. He had four points, three rebounds, an assist, plus four "stocks" in 22 minutes. He delivered a little bit better numbers in only 18 minutea against the Kings but that's how it is. He'll be better if LaMarcus Aldridge is out, which does not happen very often. Gary Harris- Jamal Murray Read More

5 Awesome NBA Stats Of The Day

1.) By A Wide Margin

As in wiiiidddddeeeee!

James Harden is the league's leader for total points scored at 2,006. The second behind him is Paul George at 1,650, which is a 356-point gap. And if you're wondering how many of those are free throws-- it's 546, which is about 27% of his total point production.
2.) All-Star Lineup?
On paper, a lineup of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, and DeMarcus Cousins may very well be the best. It seems like defenses are adjusting Read More

3 Building Blocks For NBA DFS Tuesday– April 10, 2018

We're heading down the homestretch of the season but Daily Fantasy Basketball isn't quite done yet. Here are the 3 players you can build with on a six-game NBA DFS Tuesday.
Ben Simmons, PG, Philadelphia 76ers

Simmons is a lock for ROY but the way he is playing lately, I say give him an All-NBA spot right here right now. The Aussie is averaging a triple-double for the past month (14.2 points, 10 rebounds, and 10.6 assists) along with 1.8 steals and 0.6 blocks. The Sixers are looking to lock Read More

NBA Fantasy Basketball: 5 Late-Round Fliers To Keep An Eye On

1. Ersan Ilyasova, PF, Atlanta Hawks

I can probably include a couple of Hawks here but let me start with the Turkish veteran. Atlanta is in full tanking mode and aside from Dennis Schroder (and to a lesser extent, Kent Bazemore), someone has to score for this team.

Ilyasova averaged almost 15 points in 53 games for the Sixers last season while contributing almost six rebounds and two assists. Ilyasova is also hitting over 1 trey a game over the course of his career and the combined 1.1 steals+blocks Read More

NBA Fantasy Basketball Performers Of The Night– March 18, 2017

From James Harden to Denzel Valentine, here are the top fantasy basketball performers from March 18, 2017:
The Studs
1. James Harden, PG, Houston Rockets

My vote for MVP goes to this guy although I don't believe the Rockets could make it any farther than Round 2, The Beard came up with a masterpiece yet again: 40 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals, and three triples. That's his second consecutive 40-point triple-doubles although it came with eight turnovers. But you have to take the Read More

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

January 27, 2016– DFS Basketball Best Value Picks

January 27, 2016-- DFS Basketball Best Value Picks
The Studs
Karl-Anthony Towns, C ($7,000)
The 2015 No. 1 overall pick is on fire lately, averaging 48. 25 fantasy points over the last four games. His last game against a very capable Cavaliers defense is very impressive (26 points and 12 rebounds, 50.25 FP in 30 minutes) and a matchup with the fast-paced OKC Thunder promises another stat-filled night for the rookie.
Isaiah Thomas, PG ($7,800)
Thomas has been very consistent this season where Read More

Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice March 28

Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice March 28
It's only five games but there are a lot of golden opportunities to win if you look these players' way this Saturday.
The Studs
LaMarcus Aldridge, PF ($8,700)

LA has been somewhat inconsistent the past four games--scoring in the 40's and 50's sandwiched by games of the 20 and 30-point variety. So how ill Saturday night go? There's no way to tell but the match-up suggests it could probably be the former. In the two rather poor games, Aldridge locked horns Read More
