3 players to build your DraftKings lineup around. Dec 23rd.

Sunday Recap Nikola Jokic   37 FPTs   18P/5A/6R/1B/1S Malcolm Brogdon   29.75 FPTs  10P/10A/3R/1S Brook Lopez   35 FPTs    17P/2A/8R/2B CBS Sports Nikola Jokic had a huge first half against the Lakers. I thought he was on his way to a potential triple double, he had 11 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists for 27 fantasy points at halftime. Unfortunately he cooled off in the 2nd half and he only played 27 minutes in a Nuggets blowout win. He ended up with 18 points Read More

5 Value Picks For NBA DFS Monday– Nov. 26, 2018

5 Value Picks For NBA DFS Monday:
Jabari Parker, PF, Chicago Bulls

Parker is piping hot right now, dropping 20+ in three straight and four of the last five. He is also contributing 8.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and a steal over that span. He is definitely on a groove right now and now is the best time to take advantage of Parker's resurgence because one Lauri Markannen and Bobby Portis are healthy, minutes should be harder to come by.
Julius Randle, PF, New Orleans Pelicans

Constructing a DFS lineup for a three-game slate is tricky but a simple recipe is to go top-heavy and swing for a couple of punt plays.

5 Unbelievable Numbers/Facts In Game 1 Of The NBA Finals

1. KD (and Draymond) couldn't guard LeBron.

Basically, nobody could touch LeBron in Game 1 as he went off for a playoff career-high 51 points. But KD, Bron's primary defender, allowed him to score 30 points on 10-for-15 shooting.

To be fair to KD, Draymond Green didn't do a better job, either. Green was LeBron's primary defender in eight possessions, and James scored eight points on 4-for-6 shooting.

Apparently, the Dubs need Iggy real quick or LeBron will probably average 45 in this series.
