March 29, 2016– 5 Interesting NBA Facts and Stats

1. Kawhi Leonard is great but... it's clear his bread-and-butter is NOT scoring. There are a gazillion of NBA players right now who have better single-game career-high in points than the San Antonio forward (Kawhi's career high is 32 points, by the way) . This guy has a lot of time so he took the liberty to list down ALL of the players mentioned. 2. Strictly talking about assists, John Stockton is in a league of his own.

March 9, 2016– DFS Basketball Best Value Picks

March 9, 2016-- DFS Basketball Best Value Picks Nine games and here we are: The Studs Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF ($8,700) I don't want to put The Greek Freak in here because I have to write his whole name down, but he's probably the best SF in fantasy for the last couple of weeks. In the past 10 games, Giannis had 4 games where he had at least 65.75 fantasy points. He had three triple-doubles during that time and flirted with it for a couple times more. Kemba Walker, PG ($8,300) Kemba has been Read More

Here are the best DFS basketball options for a six-game March 1 game day. March 1, 2016-- Best DFS Basketball Value Picks The Studs Damian Lillard, PG ($9,600) Anyone with a brain would be tempted to pick Stephen Curry, who is averaging like a hundred points lately. However, the reigning MVP is doubtful for the Atlanta game. If you want to pay for another high quality point guard, there is no better option than Lillard here. Dame's least productive outing for the past 10 games is a 40-FP output Read More

Feb. 21, 2016– DFS Basketball Best Value Picks

Feb. 21, 2016-- DFS Best Value Picks The Studs LeBron James, SF ($9,700) You can either go with Russell Westbrook or Kevin Durant here but LeBron James is cheaper while averaging almost the same Fantasy Points over the past 10 games as Westbrook. It seems Tyronn Lue's offense has awoken the fantasy beast in "The King". The only "mishap" in the past 10 is the Jan. 27 game in Phoenix, where the four-time MVP scored "only" 37.25 FP. Pau Gasol, C, ($8,500) I'm going with Pau Gasol for two Read More

5 Bold Predictions After The NBA All-Star Break

With all the sidelights in the first half of the 2015-16 NBA season, the second chapter promises to be as lively, if not more. It appears to be no stopping the Golden State Warriors but a San Antonio Spurs team with Tim Duncan in the middle will be a different beast if they ever meet again in Texas. The Los Angeles Clippers is definitely playing very well without Blake Griffin and rumor has it the Clippers management are looking to dump Blake to Colorado in exchange for Kenneth Faried, Danilo Gallinari, Read More

February 1, 2016-- DFS Basketball Best Value Picks The Studs Marc Gasol, C ($7,700) Gasol is dealing with a minor injury with his knee but it seems like that's all there is: MINOR. The Spanish big man is extremely effective in the past 5 games, capping it with an almost-50 FP performance against the Sacramento Kings. Coincidentally, the Memphis Grizzlies have won 7 of its past 8 with Gasol leading the charge. Kevin Love, PF ($7,300) Love has been the primary beneficiary of the coaching change Read More

January 28, 2015– DFS Basketball Best Value Picks

January 28, 2015-- DFS Basketball Best Value Picks The Studs Paul Millsap, PF ($8,300) Kyle Korver, Jeff Teague, and Al Horford has struggled and all but one force remains constant with the Atlanta Hawks: This Paul Millsap guy. What's impressive about Millsap is not only the consistency, he does his work even if his minutes run low. Half of his last ten games saw Millsap on limited high-20's runs, but that hasn't stopped him from dropping 35, 30.75, 36, 44, and 42.75 fantasy points on those occasions. Greg Read More
