5 Best Bargain Options for NBA DFS Feb. 5, 2021

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

Best Value Picks For NBA DFS Feb. 4, 2020

I got back on track on Feb. 3 with really solid picks from top to bottom.  I suggested Deandre Ayton or Nikola Vucevic and while both came through, Ayton basically feasted in the paint with 25-17-5 with two blocks. Vucevic had 22-7-5 but he had to "contend" with Aaron Gordon's double-double, which explains why he didn't have to do more. On the other hand, the Suns saw Devin Booker score only 11 so Ayton had to pick up the slack, leading to a better fantasy performance. As predicted, Jayson Read More

The Studs

 
Andre Drummond, C, Detroit Pistons ($8,900)
Drummond is as consistent as they come, having sub-40 FP games only twice in the past 10. In a previous matchup against the Pacers earlier this month, Drummond torched them with 14 and 21 with 4 assists and a block (47.75 fantasy points). Indiana is among the league's worst in defending opposing centers so there's a chance Drummond could follow that up with another solid game.
Lonzo Ball, PG, Los Angeles Lakers ($7,100)
OK, it Read More

NBA Fantasy Basketball: 5 Late-Round Fliers To Keep An Eye On

1. Ersan Ilyasova, PF, Atlanta Hawks

I can probably include a couple of Hawks here but let me start with the Turkish veteran. Atlanta is in full tanking mode and aside from Dennis Schroder (and to a lesser extent, Kent Bazemore), someone has to score for this team.

Ilyasova averaged almost 15 points in 53 games for the Sixers last season while contributing almost six rebounds and two assists. Ilyasova is also hitting over 1 trey a game over the course of his career and the combined 1.1 steals+blocks Read More

Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice Feb. 25

The news on Derrick Rose going under the knife on the same knee he injured in 2013 was surely a big blow to the Chicago Bulls. The team's official release said an MRI scan revealed a torn meniscus and that no timetable was set in his return.
Again.
Rose's knee injury will open a lot of opportunities for a couple other Bulls. Joakim Noah, for instance, could see a lot more touches as a facilitator at the center spot. In the 2013-14 season playing without the 2011 MVP, Noah dished a ridiculous 5.4 Read More
