DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/3/19): NBA DFS Lineups
Eight games total today but DraftKings only has four games on the main slate. Unfortunately, they choose the wrong four games because all the early games contain a majority of the upside. That being said, the Magic have been playing just better basketball lately and even on the second night of a back-to-back, should be […]

We have a modest slate tonight, with only two out of conference games, meaning that most of the contests tonight will be competitive. With seeding becoming more and more important every day, The eight games on the main slate have very enticing options. The 76ers-Warriors game will be the game to watch because of the […]

There was a spectacular 11-game slate last night and tonight we are followed up with just six games. There might not be the same type of upside, but they will be competitive games nonetheless. I don't think the Magic will come out of this game victorious, but I wouldn't fade them simply for blowout purposes. […]

After a very modest three-game slate on Tuesday, the league responds with a monstrous, 11-game bonanza. The night won't end this way, but right now every game looks like it has very high upside in terms of competitiveness. Bad teams are playing other bad teams, up and coming teams are playing other up and comers, […]

So, this will be fun. We are one day back into the NBA groove and there are going to be some waiver wire options budding up all over the place for the second half of the season. For the most recent narratives that were established last night, there are already a few players that have […]

Just three games on the main slate means get ready for some repetition. There will be a lot of the same players throughout most of the winning lineups so look for those guaranteed studs and those one or two prime sleepers. The Toronto Raptors starters and bench should have no limitations going up against the […]

We have a fantastic 11-game slate today, which comes right after a very exciting return to NBA action. Not only were the games last night ultra-competitive, but that competitive feel should bleed into today's contests. From what I can tell, there is only game that seems like it will be a lopsided affair. The Celtics […]

WE ARE BACK. WE ARREEEE BACCKKKK. And with a delicious six-game slate, nearly every game guaranteeing solid competition. With the week break, it brings us what seems like an late-Valentines day gift in James Harden's price. Since it's at a reasonable price for being the highest-priced star tonight, you won't be pressed for a remaining […]

Just three games on the slate which means that the All-Star Break is finally here. The biggest storyline continues to follow the Pelicans like a dark cloud, with Anthony Davis semi-willingly causing tension. Since he has asked for a trade, he has posted some of his worst box score numbers in his career. That will […]
Jake King-Finnen 6 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/13/19): NBA DFS Lineups
We are just at the start of the All-Star Break so of course we have our "last" massive slate for this section of the season. With so many games available, you need to find the super value play to help create a foundation for your lineup. With all the recent trades, there are still a […]
Jake King-Finnen 6 years agoHot Waiver Pickups and Making Sense Of The NBA Trade Deadline
A LOT of "things" happened on Thursday. The most important "thing" is up for debate between two Eastern Conference teams. While Marc Gasol joining the Raptors may not have been seen as a blockbuster deal, I do see it having a drastic impact on the Raptors frontcourt. With Serge Ibaka and Marc Gasol anchoring the […]
Jake King-Finnen 6 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/10/19): NBA DFS Lineups
Only five games on today's slate so I'l spend this intro covering the early games and then you know the rest. Unfortunately, all the good games will be over and done with before the main slate even starts, so if you want to watch good basketball today, the games start at 2 pm EST. In […]
Jake King-Finnen 6 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/9/19): NBA DFS Lineups
A hefty eight game slate for us this Saturday and one game sticks out more than any other. The Rockets - Thunder game should be the most competitive and that means the upside is there. Rostering both James Harden and Russell Westbrook seems nearly impossible, and Paul George actively talking about defending Harden makes the […]

We have a decent sized six game slate tonight, and in all honesty this is not the greatest grouping of games. It seems that outside of the Trail Blazers - Spurs and Pacers - Clippers, there just isn't that much upside available. You can go in any direction you want as far as lineup building […]
Jake King-Finnen 6 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/6/19): NBA DFS Lineups
This biggest question surrounding tonight's lineup construction will NOT be whether or not James Harden forces this game to be a blowout, but just how many points he scores on the way to this game becoming a blowout. Plenty of people will be fading Harden tonight, but you know I have optimism about this matchup […]

If you are like me, you are excited about the freedom you will have tonight and I'm not talking about DFS lineups. Tonight is the Super Bowl and I probably don't have to tell you that, but I had no clue it was Super Bowl weekend until Friday afternoon. Still not feeling well so I'll […]

I have the flu. I'm going to make this quick. My apologies, but hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow and return with another just, oh-so-exciting DraftKings article. Warriors-Lakers is aimed to be the highest scoring, but I would suggest targeting both the Suns-Hawks and the Kings-76ers contests if you are looking for the most upside. The […]
Jake King-Finnen 6 years agoJahlil Okafor and Waiver Wire Story Time With Jake Finnen
As of this moment, there are few players making as big of a splash in fantasy leagues as Jahlil Okafor.... OK, maybe the Kristaps Porzingis trade and Anthony Davis trade rumors are the only things people can talk about, but it shouldn't overshadow everything Okafor has done in the past two weeks. He has been […]

The first two games of the night are the complete opposite of the rest of the slate, so note the point totals of those two games before making your lineup. The last four games of the night have a ton of upside and tonight should be all about Steph Curry. He's not cheap, but take […]
Jake King-Finnen 6 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/30/19): NBA DFS Lineups
A very appealing eight-game slate tonight with value littered throughout. The lineups have a wide variety of who you want to set as your foundation, but just be warned that most DFS players will be targeting the Pelicans-Nuggets game. With the amount of injuries and value there, it's going to be hard to just pass […]
Jake King-Finnen 6 years agoWhat Does D'Angelo Russell's Emergence Mean for The Rest of The Nets?
It's really annoying when the intro to your article focuses on one player, and we don't even have a photo of him we can use, so enjoy this picture of Caris Levert. Before the season started, the Brooklyn Nets were not looking like a team that would be contending for anything other than reasonable draft […]
Jake King-Finnen 6 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/27/19): NBA DFS Lineups
In tonight's six-game slate, there is one game that is going to be the annoyance of the night, Magic versus Rockets. Everyone is contemplating James Harden. Even at a ridiculous, sky-scraping $13,700, you can't simply just say, "Oh, Chris Paul is back? Yeah, he's going to fall back down to Earth." That's a lazy assessment […]

With only five games total, it's unfortunate DraftKings won't consider the Pelicans-Spurs game as part of the main slate.....Selfish. Anyway, after last nights smorgasbord of competitive games, expect the complete opposite tonight. The teams that are playing aren't terrible, it's just the matchups are NOT enticing. Even though four games offers some type of variety […]

We have a fairly interesting slate this Thursday. With the first game starting at 8PM, we have more than enough time to perfect our lineups. Even with only four games, there is upside everywhere. Anthony Davis is sidelined, so expect Jrue Holiday and Julius Randle to step up once again, with Jahlil Okafor offering up […]

It's about time we got back to the massive slates. With 10 games, there is no shortage of upside tonight. The Knicks and Rockets have the highest point total so far, but I think DFS players need to be aware of the upside in the Pelicans-Pistons game. Without Anthony Davis, look for a Jrue Holiday-led […]
Jake King-Finnen 6 years agoHow Sustainable Is This Version Of Bradley Beal?
This biggest trend in the NBA recently has been Bradley Beal and his emergence as a clear-cut All-Star, doing everything he can to get his team in the playoffs. In the fantasy realm, Beal has nearly doubled his value and it's increasing every game. The offensive burden will always be on his shoulders and he […]
Jake King-Finnen 6 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/20/19): NBA DFS Lineups
There are only three games total today so while I would love to dive into each game specifically...this slate simply doesn't need a full deep dive. Pacers and Hornets will be a battle between backccourts, with the Indiana frontcourt offering plenty of support to help the Pacers get a fairly easy win at home. Until […]
Jake King-Finnen 6 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/19/19): NBA DFS Lineups
To be completely honest, we have a fairly lame 8-game slate. Only two games are really projected to be high-scoring affairs, while most of the games are out-of-conference contests between a "good team" and a "bad team." I have confidence, the Bulls-Heat, Hawks-Celtics, and Pacers-Mavericks will all be worth of stacking and should dominate the […]

There are six games being played today and although the Knicks and Wizards are playing in London at 3PM EST, we still have a nice five-game slate to keep us warm through the night. Right off the bat, I can tell you two areas that I will be happily targeting with my lineups. The first […]

We rebound after Tuesday's slate with eight games on Wednesday. Some of us expected another game of the season last night with two of the league's best teams playing, but instead the Warriors proved once again just how much better they really are. Tonight, they play at home against Anthony Davis. While Davis is always […]
