Here are 5 NBA players who turned down big money offers in hopes of securing bigger contracts.

For the first time in forever, the NBA Finals featured rosters without anyone named LeBron James or Steph Curry. It was a refreshing sight for basketball fans, and the last couple of games in the series were not for the feint of heart. Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was named Finals MVP, delivered a performance for the ages and a historic series. And now, the Larry O'Brien trophy is in Milwaukee, much to the delight of some 65,000 fans in attendance in the Deer district. If you're a stathead like me, Read More
Just a week ago, it seems like everybody is ready to crown the Phoenix Suns as the champs. They had complete control of the series after the first two games and both Chris Paul and Devin Booker are playing out of their minds. Three games later, it won't be the Suns who will have the chance to take home the Larry O'Brien trophy. Talking about a complete 180! And it could turn out to be a complete disaster for Phoenix, who will be tested with their backs in the proverbial wall. As good a leader as Read More

Memphis, too, needed an extra five minutes to eliminate the Golden State Warriors to get in as the eighth seed. In the East, the Celtics rode on Jayson Tatum's 50-point night to punch a ticket to face the powerhouse Brooklyn Nets. The Washington Wizards Read More
There are going to be a lot of unknowns in hunting bargains for NBA DFS. Ty Jerome did not play and Daniel Gafford did not do much in under 17 minutes of play. Anthony Lamb got his opportunities but fell way short (3 points and 5 rebounds in over 31 minutes of play) while Gabriel Deck did what he was supposed to do in 20 minutes.

Terence Davis II, SG/SF, Sacramento Kings Davis has been great off the bench for Read More

1.) Carmelo Anthony, PF, Portland Trail Blazers Obviously, Melo's days are behind him, but averages of 14 points, three rebounds, and almost three made treys ensure you probably get 22-25 FP from him. If that's what you're looking for to round your roster up, Melo is the guy. 2.) Delon Wright, PG, Sacaramento Kings Wright reprises his spot in our bargain options list and why not?
