So who gets the nod on the first day at the office? Here are some DFS basketball opening day must-starts that you should look at: Paul George, SF, OKC Thunder Russell Westbrook will not be playing so it will be the PG13 show for the Thunder on Opening Day. George hasn't had a bad statistical game in the preseason Read More
In the Hunt Kyrie Irving, PG, BOS, 20.6 points, 5.2 assists, 3.1 rebounds Irving’s stats are well below the other contenders for MVP, but he provides quality, clutch plays for the Celtics. He may not average nearly 30 a game, but he consistently closes games for the Celtics and is the trusted ball handler who limits turnovers and makes the right play when the game is on the line. He’s helped Al Horford and the rest of his teammates overachieve so far this year. In the epic game against the Read More
Lonzo Ball, PG, LAL ($6,000) Lonzo totaled 9 points, 6 assists and 4 blocks in 39 minutes last night against the Celtics. Lonzo was clearly overmatched by Kyrie Irving, and I bet having to chase Irving around all night contributed to his poor performance on offense. He was just 1-5 from 3-point range, and most of his points came on floaters in the lane, or on aggressive drives to the basket while the Celtics were getting back on defense. Obviously, tonight will be his second game in as many Read More

NBA DFS Best Value Picks-- Dec. 26, 2016 We have 11 games so plenty of fish in the sea to choose from. But who will give you the most value? The Studs Nicolas Batum, SG/SF, Charlotte Hornets ($7,800) Batum has been messing around lately and the best thing about him is, he does not rely on points to get value (even though that helps, too). The Frenchman has dropped over 40 fantasy points in four of the last five including a triple-double in the win over Chicago. Brooklyn is not exactly the Read More
We do want little surprises here and there to spice things up, don't we? However, as fantasy basketball die-hards, surprises are the last things we want. But since it's pretty much a part of our fantasy basketball lives, we might as well deal with it the best way possible. 1.
