Who to Pick and Who to Avoid For NBA DFS Feb. 1, 2021

The Studs Who to pick: If you're looking for someone to build your team around, I think it comes down to Nikola Jokic or Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Greek Freak is basically averaging 30-15-7 over the past five games while Joker is good for 30-12-5 over the past six. You couldn't ask for more if you want consistency. But, if I have to pick, who gets the nod? I'd probably go with Jokic on this one. Giannis gets a questionable tag going into Monday night's game with Portland and while that could just Read More

Best Value Picks For NBA DFS Feb. 29, 2020

It's a rare occurrence for me to botch a stud suggestion but I did last time with Kawhi Leonard. The reasoning behind the selection is Leonard's previous performances and he may need to exert more against a better opponent. Turns out, the Clippers did not need much from Kawhi on this one by blowing out Denver, 130-103, with Leonard playing only 25 minutes. That said, the Aaron Gordon suggestion was an absolute spot-on. AG had a triple double against the Wolves-- 17 points, 11 rebounds, and 12 assists-- Read More

Daily Fantasy Notes– Nov. 12, 2019

It seems like Rajon Rondo is still going to help a lot of fantasy teams in assists. With dimes being the hardest category to recover from (only a total of 36 players are averaging at least FIVE assists per game this season), Rondo's 41.2% career AST rate will come in handy. In his first game for the Lakers this season, Rondo delivered SEVEN assists plus six rebounds in only 14 minutes of play. Trae Young just became the youngest player in NBA history to record three consecutive games of at least Read More

Best Value Picks For NBA DFS Monday– March 25, 2019

The Studs
Jonas Valanciunas, C, Memphis Grizzlies

Now, who would've thought? JV has been tearing it up as of late, dominating his last three opponents to the tune of 25.3 points, 17.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 2.3 blocks. He will be facing Steven Adams so temper your expectations a little bit but the Grizzlies doesn't have too many options on offense. JV has a 40-50 FP upside every night.
Jimmy Butler, SG, Philadelphia 76ers

I'm not sure we will see a 50-FP game from Jimmy Butler for Read More

3 Building Blocks For NBA DFS Thursday– April 5, 2018

The NBA is down to its homestretch and while the top teams are already preparing for the playoffs, a handful of others positioning themselves for a nicer seed. Who can you trust to push you above NBA DFS Thursday?
1. Nikola Jokic, C, Denver Nuggets

OK, here's the deal: Denver is currently on the outside looking in on the playoff picture BUT they get to host No. 7 Minnesota Thursday night. The two teams are half a game away from each other and if the Nuggets actually beat the Wolves, they'll Read More

Players to Target in NBA DFS on Nov. 13 – 2017

Kevin Durant, SF/PF, GS ($9,700)

Durant filled up the stat sheet on Saturday with 29 points (11-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks against the 76ers. Durant is cheaper than both the twin towers from New Orleans and with Steph Curry unlikely to play tonight that means Durant will do most of the heavy lifting for the Warriors.
Ben Simmons, PG/SF, PHI ($8,500)
Patrick Beverly is out for tonight’s game which should open up passing and driving lanes for Simmons. Read More
