Who To Play And Avoid For NBA DFS Dec. 6, 2019

Who To Play: Zach Lavine, PG/SG, Chicago Bulls After going through some of the toughest shooting struggles of the season, Lavine turned a corner and is one of the hottest players coming into Friday. The former Bruin is averaging 27 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.8 blocks, and 1.4 steals while making a total of 17 threes in the last five games. The Bulls will be up against Golden State and we just pray the Warriors make it a little competitive so Lavine can find some more time on the court. Montrezl Read More

How TO Pull Off The Perfect Fantasy Basketball Draft (Points)

Leave a comment
I'll be the very first one to admit that there is no such thing as a perfect draft unless you're competing with six year olds. But relatively speaking, you can pretty much nail a fantasy basketball draft if you come prepared. and has a clear goal in mind. The league scoring also matters and for this article, let's hypothetically consider how to complete the (near) perfect standard points league draft. In a points league, the general rule is go for high-efficiency bigs (high FG% ) over high-volume, Read More

5 Best Value Picks For NBA DFS Saturday– Nov. 10, 2018

Best Value Picks For NBA DFS Saturday:
James Harden, PG/SG, Houston Rockets

I'm trying to be a contrarian here with the Harden pick and Houston unexpectedly struggling on offense. The Beard still put up elite numbers (26.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 7.7 assists, 2.6 steals) but not the jaw-dropping lines we see from him in seasons past.

What does that mean? That means he is due for an explosive showing and it could come at the expense of the Spurs, who is 23rd in the league when it comes to Read More

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

Leave a comment

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

NBA DFS Players to Target-Feb 14th, 2018

Leave a comment

Andre Drummond, C, DET ($10,600)
How in the world is Drummond not an all-star? He continues to be the best rebounder in basketball, grabbing 15.7 a game and 21 in Monday’s loss to the Pelicans. If he can grab that many boards against Anthony Davis, how many can he get tonight against the Hawks? He and Davis are far and away better than any other centers available tonight.
Kyle Lowry, PG, TOR ($7,600)
Lowry recorded 22 points (8-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight assists, four rebounds and two steals Read More

Players to Target, NBA DFS – Feb. 9th 2018

Leave a comment

Anthony Davis, C, NOP ($11,700)
Davis should be well-rested after the last Pelicans’ game was postponed due to a leak in the roof. He gets the 76ers tonight and as usual, Joel Embiid is a GTD. If Embiid can’t go, it should make it an easy night for Davis who is averaging 51.2 FPPG. He’s clearly benefited from Demarcus Cousins’ absence so far.
Ricky Rubio, PG, UTA ($8,000)
Rubio is quietly having an incredible season. Does anyone realize he’s getting 27.5 FPPG, including 29 points (8-16 Read More

NBA DFS Best Value Picks-- Dec. 26, 2016
We have 11 games so plenty of fish in the sea to choose from. But who will give you the most value?

The Studs

Nicolas Batum, SG/SF, Charlotte Hornets ($7,800)
Batum has been messing around lately and the best thing about him is, he does not rely on points to get value (even though that helps, too). The Frenchman has dropped over 40 fantasy points in four of the last five including a triple-double in the win over Chicago. Brooklyn is not exactly the Read More

6 Future Breakout Stars in NBA Fantasy

It's very seldom for young studs to go right on and be statistically dominant right away. As such, growing pains are to expected, and it sometimes take very long, too.
However, more often than not, these young players have shown capabilities that sometimes belie their ages. They may be 15-20 minute rotation guys now or buried at the end of the bench for long stretches or being taken for the ride as soon as they boarded the ship. Regardless, let's stop the guessing game and get right to it.

Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Advice March 16, Sunday, 10 Games
The Studs
Russell Westbrook, PG ($12,600)

While James Harden has considerably cooled recently, Russell Westbrook showed no signs of slowing down. Another triple-double in the last outing, his sixth in eight games, and a 65.5 FP performance.

I'd still take my chances.
Anthony Davis, PF ($11,000)

He left in the early fourth in the game against Brooklyn but Davis passed a concussion test, prohibiting him from missing any Read More

What the Corey Brewer trade meant for fantasy owners

1 Comment

As busy as teams are right now, I would've mistaken everything as a February trade deadline rush. Clearly, all the General Managers pulled the trigger for one reason and one reason only: for the improvement of the team.
For fantasy owners, we couldn't care less. (Actually, we do, but not to the fullest sense.) All we wanted is see what these transactions do or will do to our teams and then act like a smart GM will do.
The trade that went through Friday was minor compared to the one that swung Read More
