It's already 02-20-2020, which means, the NBA All-Star Weekend hangover should be over. Let's get back to business with my best value picks for a six-game Thursday night. The Studs As you well know by now, there are differences when it comes to how the players at Yahoo and DraftKings are priced. For instance, at Yahoo, Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons, are just at 37 and 36 bucks, respectively. Those are way too low for players who have a combined seven games of at least 50 FP in the past 20 outings. Read More
Christmas Recap Ben Simmons 55.25 FPTs 15P/14A/7R/3S/2B Lou Williams 21FPTs 6P/7A/2R/2S Enes Kanter 27.75 FPTs 12P/11R/1A NBC Sports Simmons had a great 1st half against the Bucks. He filled the stat sheet scoring 6 points, he dished out 8 assist and grabbed 3 rebounds. He also had 2 steal and 1 block. Unlike most of my picks who have a hot first half, Simmons continued to roll in the second half. He surpassed his fantasy average by 15 points. Lou Williams Read More
Monday Recap Bradley Beal 47 FPTs 30P/3A/4R Julius Randle 50.75 FPTs 35P/2A/5R/2S/1B Tristan Thompson 24 FPTs 3P/2A/10R/2S/1B Yahoo Bradley Beal had another fantastic game, he put up 30 points against the Knicks, his 4th 30 point game in the last 5. Beal is the main reason the awful Washington Wizards are one of the top offensive teams in the league, they are 3rd in points scored with 117.5 per game. I will be taking Beal until his salary forces me to look for a cheaper Read More
Wednesday Recap Buddy Hield 45 FPTs 23P/6A/6R/2S PJ Tucker 19.25 FPTs 8P/1A/5R/2S Jaxson Hayes 27.25 FPTs 12P/1A/5R/2S/2B Sports Illustrated Buddy Hield had a disappointing first half against the Thunder, he had 5 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assists and 1 steal and he was sitting at 12.25 fantasy points (and a snowflake). He ended up catching fire in the second half finishing with 23 points and hitting 5 threes. Buddy Read More
1.) Russell Westbrook is still top-10 in fantasy basketball. This year's fantasy draft has Brodie as an early Round 2 pick but even with James Harden around, the Rockets offense is designed to accomodate another high-usage player. And it's not like Westbrook has not played with Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, and Paul George before. Last season was a down year for Westbrook and he still finished in the top 15. Odds are he will not be averaging a triple-double for the fourth straight year but he Read More
Olynyk has strung up three good games in a row and with Hassan Whiteside not playing Friday against Phoenix, Olynyk should soak up most of the minutes. He has averaged 14 points, seven rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 1.3 steals the last three outings with probably the best one coming up against an anemic Suns defense. Darren Collision, PG, Indiana Pacers
Most would probably pick Tyreke Evans as the most likely beneficiary of Victor Oladipo's injury, Read More
Jimmy Butler's wish came true as the Minnesota Timberwolves decided to move into a different direction and trade the disgruntled star to the Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers parted ways with Robert Covington, Dario Saric, Jerryd Bayless, and a future second-round pick to make the deal work.
As much as we are in awe right now because of the recent power shift, the fantasy-head in us only care about how the trade affects our fantasy teams going forward. Who are the biggest winners and losers in the Read More
We're heading down the homestretch of the season but Daily Fantasy Basketball isn't quite done yet. Here are the 3 players you can build with on a six-game NBA DFS Tuesday. Ben Simmons, PG, Philadelphia 76ers
Simmons is a lock for ROY but the way he is playing lately, I say give him an All-NBA spot right here right now. The Aussie is averaging a triple-double for the past month (14.2 points, 10 rebounds, and 10.6 assists) along with 1.8 steals and 0.6 blocks. The Sixers are looking to lock Read More
The Sixers are headed to the playoffs and Ben Simmons is a big reason why. The seven-foot point guard is practically averaging a triple-double over the past month, putting up 12.4 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 10.8 assists during that stretch. And speaking of triple-doubles, Simmons has collected 7 of them in the past 11.
Philadelphia will be facing the lowly Nets and will be without Joel Embiid to close out the season so in Ben we should trust. Paul Millsap, Read More
Ben Simmons, PG, Philadelphia 76ers ($8,800) The Houston-OKC tiff is intriguing with a lot of big names but if you want to spread out the wealth with the same ceiling for a huge outing, try Ben Simmons. The Aussie has just torched their would-be opponent Charlotte four days ago with 15 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, and a block. It would be nice to add more scoring and defensive stats but that should still be one heck of a stat line. Jrue Holiday, SG, New Orleans Pelicans ($8,500) Holiday has Read More
