NBA DFS Best Value Picks For July 31, 2020

The NBA restart is finally upon us and while it was not pretty, I am just relieved basketball is back. The games were full of sloppy plays-- kind of what we expect after a four-month hiatus-- but both came down to the wire and the big-time players came to play. "Sloppy" is not just a word I'd describe the first two games in the bubble. I would also use that to describe two of my five choices, or shall we say suggestions, in the last article. Those were Reggie Jackson and Ivica Zubac who both fizzled Read More

It will be just a four-game Tuesday which means it's going to be a little hard finding bargains for your daily fantasy team. Let me point you in the right direction by bringing up these 5 names that can potentially save your night: 1.) PJ Washington, SF/PF, Charlotte Hornets Yahoo: $19; DraftKings: $5,900 "Consistent" is not what you would call PJ Washington's fluctuating statistical contributions but against a Washington defense (or lack thereof and no pun intended), he might just as well be Read More

Best Value Picks and Bargains For NBA DFS Friday– March 15, 2019

The Studs
Joel Embiid, C, Philadelphia 76ers

After missing almost a month, Embiid returned and hasn't missed a beat. He is averaging 25 points, 15.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 steals, and 2 blocks over a two-game span. Embiid will once again be leaned upon more with Jimmy Butler and Ben Simmons possibly out.
DeMar DeRozan, SF, San Antonio Spurs

DeRozan has three games out of the last four with at least 48 FP and looks like in the midst of a strong run. It's not that he's scoring, which 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

NBA DFS Best Value Picks– March 14, 2017

NBA DFS Best Value Picks-- March 14, 2017
The Studs

Steph Curry, PG, Golden State Warriors ($9,800)
The Warriors is now officially the second seed of the Western Conference after spending most of the season on top? Well, losing Kevin Durant was tough but it could only mean more touches and Usage Rate for their real top dog in Steph Curry.

Curry is dropping an average of 46 fantasy points in the past 5 games and when he finds his deep shooting back, that can easily go up. Golden State will Read More

Jan. 17, 2016– NBA Stats Of The Day Worthy Of A Second Look

1. Isaiah Thomas best point guard in the East and best contract of all NBA?
One Redditor noted Isaiah Thomas' production relative to his contract. The Boston Celtics point guard is tops in all Eastern Conference in points per game, second in assists, but makes only half as much as Kyle Lowry and a third as much as John Wall.

Something tells me a MAX CONTRACT is in the works once this ridiculous contract is over.
2. James Harden gets to the line almost at will.
The Beard has shot 2,693 FT attempts Read More

NBA Fantasy Basketball Top Waiver Wire Pickups

The fantasy basketball rosters we drafted to begin with are rarely--if not, impossible-- to stick to until the end.

Guards

Playoff Pick-ups: Players To Bolster Your Fantasy Playoff Push

It's playoff time and most likely, some of your best players and glue guys--or a mixture of both-- are either hurt or resting. If that's the case, here are some top playoff pickups to help your fantasy playoff push.

Donatas Motiejunas, PF/C

As far as multi-category bigs go, D-Mo is probably the best that's still available in standard leagues right now. He doesn't swat many shots at that position, but you can't be picky because he contributes in just about everything else. His value just Read More
