NBA Fantasy Basketball: 5 Breakout Candidates After The All-Star Break

Many questions loom in the horizon in possibly one of the most exciting NBA seasons in recent memory. As fantasy players, though, we only have one thing in mind: Who's going to make the most of their opportunity and turn it up after the All-Star break? Here are 5 guys that will potentially do it: 1.) Jonathan Isaac, SF/PF, Orlando Magic I am not a patient guy so I lament this one but kudos to the owners who stuck with the lanky forward through thick and thin. Isaac looks like he has turned 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

7 Buy Low/Sell High Candidates In NBA Fantasy Basketball

1.) Lonzo Ball, PG, Los Angeles Lakers Verdict: Buy Low Ball is barely clinging into a top-150 value because of poor percentages and mediocre point production. However, the things that he's really great at (assists and steals plus out-of-position stats like rebounds and occasional blocks) are among the rarest in fantasy basketball. In addition to that, scoring can easily be replaced and his shot attempts per game (7.8) and FT attempts per game (0.7) barely moves the needle. If an impatient Read More

Fantasy Outlook Of 6 NBA Stars Changing Addresses

The 2017-18 offseason is one of the craziest and wildest offseasons in recent memory. As of September 26, at least SIX All-Stars have changed addresses including Chris Paul, Kyrie Irving, Paul George, and just recently, Carmelo Anthony. Irving was a top-20 fantasy basketball player last year as well as George, while Melo is still a highly serviceable scorer who could be in danger of being criminally underrated inside fantasy circles. CP3 is joining 2017 MVP runner-up James Harden in Houston and Read More

The first day of the 2017 NBA playoffs is upon us and that means another day of NBA daily fantasy basketball. NBA Playoffs DFS: Players To Avoid On Sunday-- April 15, 2017 Kyle Lowry, PG, Toronto Raptors ($8,200) vs Bucks Lowry has missed over a month because of a wrist injury and has recently joined the team in four games from April 5-12.

Best NBA DFS Value Picks For DraftKings– Dec. 3, 2016

Best NBA DFS Value Picks For DraftKings-- Dec. 3, 2016 The Studs Gordon Hayward, SF, Utah Jazz ($7,700) The Jazz will probably miss George Hill tonight because of thumb sprain so most of his Usage should go to Gordon Hayward. Hayward has hit his stride lately, hitting over 36 Fantasy Points in the last six games capped by a 50-FP outing against Miami. There's a big chance he'll hit around that vicinity again against Denver. Marc Gasol, C, Memphis Grizzlies ($7,100) Speaking someone who has Read More

Looking Ahead: NBA Fantasy Forethought Week 4 (Nov. 17-23)

I am officially heartbroken. I came into my leagues ready for the draft and my cheat sheets on, fully aware how thin the wing positions are going to be. I knew all the mainstays at the SG and SF will be gone after the second round so I have to look elsewhere. As far as I can remember, I had the chance to grab Gordon Hayward in every single one of my teams but I didn't. I don't know why but I just didn't and that has got to be the worst decision I have ever made in all of my years playing fantasy Read More
