It’s nice to have a full 14 game slate to go over after a 2 game Tuesday night. I liked a lot of players in the San Antonio/ Minnesota, Washington/Phoenix and the Atlanta/Milwaukee game. Here are 3 players I picked to built my lineup around for Wednesday. SB Nation Karl Anthony Towns - $10,300 KAT has been an absolute monster this season. He is averaging 26.5 points and 12.5 rebounds a game and he has had a double double in 13 of the 15 games he has played so far. What has really been impressive Read More
Sunday Recap Beal 35.75 20P/8A/3R Millsap 30.35 23P/5R Hayes 14.75 7P/3A/3R I didn’t have the best Sunday. 2 of the 3 players I had locked in produced a bit but I whiffed on the third. Beal had a bad game by his standards, he had 20 points and 8 assists but he still feel 20+ points shy of his fantasy total from the past 2 weeks. Millsap had 23 and 5 rebounds but he didn’t failed to record an assist, block or steal. One of the main reasons Read More
Sportsnet Saturday Recap Siakam 50.50 34P/3A/4R Myles Turner 26.25 10P/2A/5R Powell 25.25 20P/1A/3R Siakam didn’t disappoint, not as many assists or rebounds as other nights but he added 2 blocks and a steal. Turner had a bad night on offense, his 3 blocks and 1 steal saved the pick from being a complete write off. Powell was one of 3 Raptors to score 20 points against the Magic, but he almost no fantasy points outside of those 20 points. Read More
Bullets Forever Friday Recap Beal - 58.75 30P/13A/5R Bogdanovic - 29.25 17P/4A/5R 3 three pointers Noel - DNP Beal kept his hot streak going against Charolette, notching a season high is assists to go with his 30 points. Bogdonavic just barely missed his season average but he didn’t do as well as I thought he would. The Golden State/Utah game was a lot closer than I imagined it would be. Unfortunately, Noel was a DNP. I hope some of you tried my throw in Drummond pick, Read More
It is a nice 10 game slate tonight, here are 3 players to build your Draftkings lineup around. Washington Post Bradley Beal, $9,600 Beal has been on an absolute tear over the past few games. 34,33,44 and 44 points in the last 4 games and he played 37 or more minutes in each game. Beal is Washington’s main offensive weapon and he has taken full advantage. Defense will be optional in this game, Charlotte gives up 112 points a game and Washington is the worst in the league giving up 121 a night. Read More
The Toronto Raptors look to take a stranglehold 2-0 series lead against the Golden State Warriors, who will be missing Kevin Durant (again) for Game #2. Interestingly the Warriors are 7-7 in the NBA Finals without Kevin Durant, and are 8-1 with him. Therefore, the Warriors will rely heavily on the Splash Brothers to carry the load on offense as the rest of their lineup doesn't scare anybody - Green, Iguodala, Bell, Looney, Livingston - all usually struggle to create their own shots. Although Read More
Golden State Warriors may be one of the greatest teams ever assembled, and there starting five consist of All-Stars including Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and DeMarcus Cousins. Warriors are looking to join NBA's elite three-peat championship company, and cement themselves as one of the best dynasty's ever. However, as a sports bettor, I often find myself looking for "value" bets. And in this particular NBA Finals, the Toronto Raptors' led by Kawhi Leonard and Kyle Read More
I tried out FantasyDraft throughout the month of January and I have a few thoughts and takeaways
No Late Swap
One of the main complaints about FanDuel is also the way FantasyDraft locks their contests. It isn’t a huge deal, it really sucks when you get hit with a late scratch but it doesn’t happen enough for me to question whether it’s worth using the site. As long as you keep in mind the risk with GTD’s the late swap shouldn’t give you too many headaches.
If you're new to fantasy basketball this is a question you might ask: What is the best fantasy basketball scoring system? That sounds like a valid question and ODD at the same time. Why? Because ultimately, it all boils down to personal preference. What may seem to be the best fantasy basketball scoring system to me may not be the case for you. Personally, I hold roto leagues close to my heart. That's because I have experienced a lot of success with it. Back when I was still learning the ropes of Read More
Steph Curry makes his return to the Warriors after being sidelined for 11 games with a groin injury. The Warriors went 5-6 in Curry’s absence and they have slide to 4th in the Western Conference. The Warriors have had some struggles this season. They suffered their first 4 game losing streak in the Steve Kerr era, Durant’s future was up in the air coming into the season and his problems with Draymond have only made the situation worse and they have had to deal Read More
