NBA DFS Picks For Sept. 1, 2020: Bargains To Consider

We were treated to an absolute dogfight in Game 6 of the OKC-Houston series. I did see this coming (kind of) and it's my strategy all along to pick up players from teams facing elimination. That said, I was completely off in my Shai Gilgeous-Alexander prediction. He played almost 40 minutes and was pedestrian, but my Danilo Gallinari pick hit home. Gallo showed up for 25 points, five rebounds, an assist, two steals, and four treys. In summary: Eric Gordon did his job once more, Dennis Schroder Read More

5 Weird and Amazing Stat Lines Very Early In The 2019-20 Season

I know there were only 13 games played out of a gazillion more to come but for a stathead like me, I couldn't help but feel giddy. After all, it's about time to overreact. Here are 5 of the weirdest and most amazing stat lines to start the season: 1. Mike Conley's Horrible Jazz Debut The Jazz got the win alright, but no thanks to Mike Conley and his pathetic shooting performance. He shot only 1-for-16 in his first real NBA game in a Jazz uniform adding five assists and two turnovers in 27 minutes Read More

Who To Pick And Avoid For NBA DFS Friday– Feb. 22, 2019

Who To Pick
Paul George, SF, OKC Thunder

If you have gone for two whole months accounting for at least 40 FP, you're a definite stud. PG13 is averaging 37.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 2.2 steals in his last 5 games with no signs of slowing down. As we go into the homestretch, expect more of the same, if not more, from Paul George.
Lou Williams, SG, Los Angeles Clippers

Without Tobias Harris, the Clippers will have to lean more on Lou Will for their playoff push. He responded Read More

Best Players To Draft In Fantasy Basketball

If you could redo the draft all over again, would you have picked the same players or are you ready to move on? Well, just to put it out there, there is no such thing as a perfect draft but I am still doing well in my leagues so the answer would be kind of in the middle. That said, there are certain players who are can't miss, which means if they somehow fall in your lap, you better not take five seconds before you pull the damn trigger. What we are going to do is go through six rounds of drafting Read More

Players To Own And Avoid on NBA DFS Wednesday– Dec. 12, 2018

Players To Own:
Bradley Beal, SG, Washington Wizards

Beal has been on fire lately and has averaged 30 points, 5.3 rebounds, six assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.5 blocks over the past four games. It does help that John Wall is hurt and could still be riding the shelf this Wednesday, making Beal a must-own in DFS basketball.
Julius Randle, PF, New Orleans Pelicans

Speaking of hot, Randle has been volcanic in December, as he is good for 25.2 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 2.8 assists during the Read More

Players To Own And Avoid On NBA DFS Sunday– Dec. 2, 2018

Players To Own:
Anthony Davis, C, New Orleans Pelicans

AD is in the conversation as the best fantasy player right now averaging 32 points, 13.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.7 steals, and 3 blocks over the past three games. This affair with Charlotte has all the makings of a fantasy-friendly matchup and Davis will surely be in the forefront of this one.
Mike Conley, PG, Memphis Grizzlies

Conley is blazing hot lately with double-digit assists in three of the last four outings. But his other Read More

Famished Five: Most Underrated NBA Players In Each Position

I have always found myself rooting for the underdog.

Ever since I was 7, when I decided to watch hoops rather than X-Men or Power Rangers, my heart was with the underrated ones. Of course, I didn't mean I cheered for the worst team, but my favorite player is not always the best one.

While everybody goes all crazy for the high-flying, acrobatic antics that Michael Jordan always displayed, I applauded the Hersey Hawkins, the Jeff Hornaceks, the Antoine Carrs, and the Rex Chapmans of the world.
