Who to Pick and Who to Avoid For NBA DFS Feb. 1, 2021

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

Best Value Picks For NBA DFS Feb. 3, 2020

There are times when it's just not your night and Feb. 2 wasn't, at least for my suggested value picks. Here's the recap: I did go for Spicy P and Jrue Holiday and they simply just did not do enough for various reasons. Siakam and the Raptors completely destroyed the Bulls so he doesn't have to do much while Holiday had to give way to the excellent performances of Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart, and Zion Williamson. Jerami Grant and Kyle Lowry did satisfactorily well if you consider them as secondaries. Read More

3 players to build your draftkings lineup around. Dec. 11th

Tuesday Recap Ben Simmons 28.75 FPTs 7P/7A/9R RJ Barrett 10 FPTs 5P/4R Marcus Morris 12.75 FPTs 10P/3R Daily Knicks Ben Simmons had a disappointing night. I was hoping Ben could get on a roll and notch a triple double. He had 7 points 6 assists and 7 rebounds going into the 4th quarter, unfortunately he only added 1 assist and 2 rebounds in the quarter and was a non factor. Ben was a huge success last night compared to my other locks Well, you don’t get rich picking Read More

Players To Own And Avoid For NBA DFS Wednesday– Nov. 7, 2018

Players To Own:
Paul George, SF, OKC Thunder

Russell Westbrook suffered a terrible ankle sprain late in the game against the Pelicans and will likely be a scratch Wednesday versus Cleveland. That would mean PG13 will be called upon to carry more of the load which he is not a stranger of. He may not be scoring much over his last 5 (17 points per game) but all the other numbers (7.2 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 2.6 steals, and 1.4 blocks) are superb. Without Westbrook, expect George to look for his Read More

3 Building Blocks For NBA DFS Monday– Jan. 30, 2018

Bradley Beal, SG, Washington Wizards

Beal was a bit of a disappoint fantasy-wise against Atlanta the last time out but that's because they basically blew the Hawks out of the water. That won't happen against a really good Thunder team on Monday and I'd like to throw it out there that Beal torched OKC for 41 last Jan. 25.

The first-time All-Star is averaging 26.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.9 assists, and 1.2 steals over the past 30 days.
Lou Williams, SG/PG, Los Angeles Clippers

5 Players To Avoid In NBA DFS– March 29, 2017

5 Players To Avoid In NBA DFS-- March 29, 2017
1. DeMarcus Cousins, PF/C, New Orleans Pelicans ($9,600) vs Mavericks
Both DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis average over 50 fantasy points in the past 10 days. Boogie, however, is dealing with every issue known to a basketball player, namely foul trouble and a sprained ankle. He is doubtful on Wednesday's tiff vs Dallas so unless you can make sure just before tip-off if the Pels will give Cousins a go, that salary should go to someone else.

I have just listed my surprise standouts in the 2016 NBA Summer League and now it's time to do the opposite and tally the disappointments. I may just be overreacting to some of them because I expected a lot more from these guys but that's the price to pay if you're picked at the top of the lottery. There you go, I spilled all the beans.

Here are my 5 disappointments in the 2016 NBA Summer League:
1. Buddy Hield, SG, New Orleans Pelicans

Hield was tabbed the most NBA ready out of ANY player Read More

5 Rookies With Fantasy Value On The Get-Go

Rookies are not usually looked upon to deliver the goods right off the bat but sometimes it's necessary. It's either the team hands them the keys right away (minutes with a green light to shoot) or they somehow fill a need (three-point shooting or defense).
Whatever the case, we'll take a look at 5 rookies with fantasy value projected higher than their years indicate:

1. Brandon Ingram, Los Angeles Lakers

All signs point to Ingram as an immediate fantasy star for the Purple and Gold. New Los Read More
