The NBA is back after a quick break with a short two-game slate. There isn't much to go around, but there are a number of bargain options to round up your DFS roster. 1.) Justise Winslow, SF, Memphis Grizzlies Winslow has been up and down since his return but the only constant is his playing time. The former lottery pick has played at least 20 minutes a game with varying results. We hope the break helped him recuperate, but he is an integral part of the Grizzlies rotation. He just needs to give Read More
1.) Michael Carter-Williams, PG, Orlando Magic Yahoo: $14; DrafftKings: $5,500; FanDuel: $4,500 MCW has not only cracked the rotation but is the primary PG option for a decimated Magic team. He has not always been a good shooter and sometimes his shot selection is suspect, but he fills up the stat sheet every now and then. Case on point: Even with an atrocious 2-for-13 shooting vs the Warriors, he contributed four rebounds, five assists, a steal, and two blocks. 2.) Cam Reddish, SG/SF, Atlanta Read More
1.) Facundo Campazzo, PG/SG, Denver Nuggets Yahoo: $12; DraftKings: $4,000; FanDuel: $4,200 With so many injuries in the Nuggets backcourt, they are forced to lean on international veteran Facundo Campazzo in the latest string of games. The Argentine did not disappoint, scoring double-digits in each of the last three games plus a total of 12 dimes and six steals. I say that's not bad at all. 2.) Cam Reddish, SG/SF, Denver Nuggets Yahoo: $11; DraftKings: $4,500; FanDuel: $4,500 Reddish has hit Read More
1.) Theo Maledon, SG, OKC Thunder DraftKings: $5,000; FanDuel: $4,800; Yahoo: $14 With injuries to George Hill and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Maledon assumed the ballhandling duties for the Thunder. While he won't probably be the next coming of Allen Iverson scoring-wise, Maledon has been stuffing the stat sheet, totaling six steals, plus three rebounds, four dimes, and a block in the victory against Houston. Still without Hill and SGA plus Lu Dort, Maledon will continue to be a DFS gem. His OKC Read More
My prediction about who to pick and avoid for the studs went south as Kevin Durant gave way to a vintage Kyrie Irving performance. Steph Curry proved me wrong with 38 markers along with 11 boards and 8 dimes. For the mid-tier salaries, Enes Kanter delivered with another double-double performance while Evan Fournier (my AVOID pick) was pretty decent. On my bargains picks, it was Xavier Tillman and DeAnthony Melton who provided the decent numbers. But then again, RoCo had 19 points and 9 rebounds Read More
Who to Pick (Studs): Kevin Durant, SF/PF, Brooklyn Nets KD has been rolling in the past five games to the tune of 31.6 points, 8.2 rebounds, 5 dimes, and 2.2 blocks. He also made 15 treys during that time with crazy efficiency. Even if he's not shooting well, Durant does other things, just like the 13-rebound, 5-assist game in the close win against Miami. Who to Avoid (Studs): Steph Curry, PG/SG, Golden State Warriors It's always hard to pick against a scorer as explosive as Steph, but the visiting Read More
The Studs Who to pick: If you're looking for someone to build your team around, I think it comes down to Nikola Jokic or Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Greek Freak is basically averaging 30-15-7 over the past five games while Joker is good for 30-12-5 over the past six. You couldn't ask for more if you want consistency. But, if I have to pick, who gets the nod? I'd probably go with Jokic on this one. Giannis gets a questionable tag going into Monday night's game with Portland and while that could just Read More
The Studs Domantas Sabonis, PF/C, Pacers Yahoo: $44; DraftKings: $9,200; FanDuel: $9,200 If not for the knee injury he suffered in the Raptors game, Sabonis would have had better averages. Well, he did come back with a vengeance-- a triple-double no less against Charlotte. We know the Hornets are not stopping dynamic interior players like Domas so feel free to tap his services. Nikola Jokic, C, Nuggets Yahoo: $54; DraftKings: $10,100; FanDuel: $11,200 The worst that Jokic could do is the low-40s Read More
The Studs Domantas Sabonis, PF/C, Indiana Pacers Domas is as sure as it gets when it comes to DFS production. The lowest score that he got in 10 games is 39 FP and had three outings with over 50 FP. He is averaging 23 points, 14 rebounds, and 4.8 dimes over the past five games. Pascal Siakam, PF, Toronto Raptors After an awful start to the season and stretching back to the bubble games, Siakam is beginning to switch gears. He has now reached 50 FP in three of the last four including his first Read More
1.) Tacko Fall, C, Boston Celtics Yahoo: $10; DraftKings: $3,300; FanDuel: $3,900 The Celtics are so short-handed right now that Fall made a rare appearance against Washington two nights ago and did not disappoint (4 points, 8 rebounds, 3 blocks). I'm not sure how he would match up against a very quick Heat frontcourt, but if he'll get 15-20 minutes a night, he'll probably give you over one fantasy point per minute. 2.) Payton Pritchard, PG, Boston Celtics Yahoo: $13; DraftKings: $4,700; FanDuel: Read More
