Best Value Picks For NBA DFS Feb. 28, 2020

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the current state of the Sixers should allow primarily Tobias Harris and Al Horford to shine. If you did pick up on my suggestion and perhaps even took it further by buying Shake Milton, you are in pretty good shape. Harris started out strong and finished even stronger to the tune of 34 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, a steal and a block. Horford flirted with a triple double (15-7-9 plus a steal and a block) while Milton had 19-3-4 plus Read More

Best Value Picks For NBA DFS Monday– March 25, 2019

The Studs
Jonas Valanciunas, C, Memphis Grizzlies

Now, who would've thought? JV has been tearing it up as of late, dominating his last three opponents to the tune of 25.3 points, 17.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 2.3 blocks. He will be facing Steven Adams so temper your expectations a little bit but the Grizzlies doesn't have too many options on offense. JV has a 40-50 FP upside every night.
Jimmy Butler, SG, Philadelphia 76ers

I'm not sure we will see a 50-FP game from Jimmy Butler for Read More

Fantasy Winners And Losers In The Jimmy Butler Trade

Jimmy Butler's wish came true as the Minnesota Timberwolves decided to move into a different direction and trade the disgruntled star to the Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers parted ways with Robert Covington, Dario Saric, Jerryd Bayless, and a future second-round pick to make the deal work.

As much as we are in awe right now because of the recent power shift, the fantasy-head in us only care about how the trade affects our fantasy teams going forward. Who are the biggest winners and losers in the 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

5 Must-Start Players For NBA DFS Monday– Dec. 25, 2017

1. LeBron James, SF, Cleveland Cavaliers
LBJ is among the highest-priced players, make no mistake about it. That is only reasonable because he still is the best player in the world, and among the top-3 in fantasy right now. Factor in the crazy atmosphere in this 2016 Finals matchup and you'll probably see the best game James played this season. He is basically averaging a triple-double these days but expect The King to be more assertive in this primetime matchup. There are a lot of high-priced stars Read More

Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em – NBA FanDuel – Dec. 20, 2017

Fanduel is gving away a free entry into their “Christmas Jam” contest. The prizes involve NBA tickets and autographs.
Sit ‘Em:
James Harden, PG, HOU ($15,500)
Harden has struggled (compared to his high standards), failing to score at or above his average FPPG in his last 4 games. His salary is slightly reflective of this, given that he’s only the 5th most expensive player. He’s only scored more than 30 points once in his last 5 games, and with the Thunder and Westbrook fighting for Read More

NBA DFS Pick’Em Strategy – Nov. 29th

Tier 1 – James Harden, PG, Hou
We get to choose from James Harden, DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis in tier 1, and I would take Harden here. He scored 73 fantasy points on Monday with 37 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Quite simply, Harden gives you the highest ceiling of any fantasy player right now. Chris Paul hasn’t had a negative effect on his fantasy output and he’s starting to heat up from 3-point range, hitting a season-high 8 of them on Monday.
Tier 2 – Read More

NBA DFS Fantasy Basketball Best Value Picks– Nov. 20, 2017

The Studs

Damian Lillard, PG, Portland Trail Blazers ($8,300)
Dame has been off with his shot lately and is facing a stout defensive team in Memphis. That doesn't mean you shouldn't consider him. Perennial All-Stars like Lillard go off at the slightest hints and his salary is the lowest since the start of November. Plus, the Grizzlies won't be playing Mike Conley because of an Achilles issue so Lillard has one less problem there.
Jimmy Butler, SG, Minnesota Timberwolves ($7,500)
Butler has Read More

Pick’Em DFS NBA Strategy for Nov. 8 – 2017


Tier 1
Steph Curry, PG, GSW

Talk about a tough choice. This tier makes us choose between Kevin Durant, Karl-Anthony Towns, Kyrie Irving and Curry. You really can’t lose here, but I like Steph Curry’s chances of taking advantage of the Wolves’ guards tonight. Minnesota ranks 29th against opposing point guards, and Curry is due for a big game. Steph is averaging just 19.7 PPG in November, but I think Minnesota’s focus will be on stopping Durant and Draymond Green from driving to Read More
