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

Best Value Picks For NBA DFS Jan. 24, 2020

I was out of town for a few days so I wasn't able to publish my DFS picks but I'm back and ready to go. Jan. 20 recap: My dream team of Ja Morant and Rudy Gobert delivered, but not to the point I was expecting. I thought Ja will excel against Pelicans's high-octane offense but nah. He finished with 16 points, three rebounds, nine assists, and a steal but nothing special. Gobert had 20 points, 14 rebounds, two assists, and a block, his fourth 20-point double-double in four of the past five up Read More

Best Value Picks For NBA DFS Jan. 20, 2020

Last time I was able to publish my picks was for Jan. 17 with mixed results (mostly great). Ja Morant and DeMar Derozan were really superb statistically with the latter racking up 25-9-9 plus two steals. Morant held his own in the win, finishing with 16 points, five rebounds, eight assists, three steals, and a block. If you have gone for Jaren Jackson, Jr., this where the mixed results thing starts. While Kevin Huerter (18 points, two rebounds, an assists, a steal, and two blocks) and Al Horford Read More

Best Value Picks For NBA DFS Friday– Jan. 17, 2020

Thurday's picks were a rousing success so I've got to roll at least one more time: The Jazz lost to New Orleans, no thanks to Brandon Ingram's career-high 49 points, but Rudy Gobert is still on that unbelievable streak. That's now five straight double-doubles for the Stifle Tower (17 points, 14 rebounds) but the four assists and three blocks made all the difference. As predicted, Kemba Walker was a little more aggressive than he was the past few games and racked up 40 points and 11 rebounds plus Read More

Best Value Picks For NBA DFS Tuesday– Jan. 14, 2020

Just a little recap for Jan. 13: I have suggested a number of Pelicans for Monday with three starters missing, but the situation was actually worse. Brandon Ingram also sat out freeing up minutes here and there. But back to my picks: Josh Hart and Nicollo Melli were all more than solid especially Melli, who finished with 20 points, three rebounds, two assists, and two steals. Hart was not bad (11-6-2 with a block) but the biggest fantasy asset for New Orleans was Jahlil Okafor (25 and 14 with Read More

5 Random fantasy basketball takes during the preseason

1.) Ja Morant is for real. I know we shouldn't look too much into preseason but if it's portent of things to come, this guy Ja Morant is going to be elite. Morant may not keep up his efficient shooting but he can slice and dice defenses with the best of them. In fact, he has a total of 17 assists in over 38 minutes of preseason playing time and only four total turnovers. That's a ridiculous 4.25 assist to TO ratio according to NBA Stats. Expecting a complete game from the get-go may not be realistic Read More
