I got back on track on Feb. 3 with really solid picks from top to bottom. I suggested Deandre Ayton or Nikola Vucevic and while both came through, Ayton basically feasted in the paint with 25-17-5 with two blocks. Vucevic had 22-7-5 but he had to "contend" with Aaron Gordon's double-double, which explains why he didn't have to do more. On the other hand, the Suns saw Devin Booker score only 11 so Ayton had to pick up the slack, leading to a better fantasy performance. As predicted, Jayson Read More
Friday Recap Joel Embiid 63.75 FPTs 33P/2A/17R/1B/1S Brandon Clarke 11.25 FPTs 6P/1A/3R Rondae Hollis Jefferson 22 FPTs 14P/4A/2R Philadelphia Inquirer Joel Embiid had a great game against the Mavericks. He had 33 points and 17 rebounds, unfortunately, every other Sixers struggled to generate any offense. The next highest scorers were Simmons with 12 and Josh Richardson had 10. Philly looked awful against Dallas, losing 117-98. I Read More
Ball is barely clinging into a top-150 value because of poor percentages and mediocre point production. However, the things that he's really great at (assists and steals plus out-of-position stats like rebounds and occasional blocks) are among the rarest in fantasy basketball. In addition to that, scoring can easily be replaced and his shot attempts per game (7.8) and FT attempts per game (0.7) barely moves the needle. If an impatient Read More
The Studs Bradley Beal, SG, Washington Wizards ($8,100) With John Wall on the shelf for a couple of weeks, Bradley Beal will be the focus of the Wizards' offense. That would mean an uptick in almost every offensive category, especially assists in which he had seven in a loss to Portland. He will not be as efficient as he usually is, but since DFS hardly punishes inefficiency, Beal should be a must-start in all DFS leagues. LaMarcus Aldridge, PF/C, San Antonio Spurs ($8,100) LMA just finished Read More

NBA DFS Playoffs: 3 Players To Avoid On Thursday DeMar DeRozan, SG, Toronto Raptors ($8,000)
Everything is exposed in the playoffs and unless DeMar DeRozan finds ways to expand his range or create for others, I don't think the high-scoring guard is a wise investment at $8,000. His rebounding numbers may even be just a fluke.
At this point, teammate Kyle Lowry may be a better option (though at a slightly higher price) having seen his last performance. However, if you want the bang for your Read More
NBA DFS Best Value Picks-- March 19, 2017 The Studs DeMar Derozan, SG, Toronto Raptors ($7,700) DeMar Derozan has a pretty mediocre stat line the past six games averaging "only" 34.5 points. He is still the focal point of the Raptors offense. though, and against a less-than-impressive Pacers defense, Derozan could break out and hit the 50's once again. Goran Dragic, PG, Miami Heat ($7,600) The Dragon has hit the high 40's in three of the past four and draws another favorable matchup against Read More
Overview: Last season wasn't really a good one for the San Antonio Spurs and all the nagging injuries Tony Parker suffered is primarily the one to blame. Despite being known as a "unit" rather than a one-man show, everything goes where Parker goes. If he's at it, everybody's at it. That said, the Spurs somehow makes every experts list as contenders year in and year out BUT on fantasy previews, the consensus is to AVOID everyone not named Kawhi Leonard (and to a lesser extent, Danny Green) like Read More

Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice March 28 It's only five games but there are a lot of golden opportunities to win if you look these players' way this Saturday. The Studs LaMarcus Aldridge, PF ($8,700)
LA has been somewhat inconsistent the past four games--scoring in the 40's and 50's sandwiched by games of the 20 and 30-point variety. So how ill Saturday night go? There's no way to tell but the match-up suggests it could probably be the former. In the two rather poor games, Aldridge locked horns Read More
