DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/24/18): NBA DFS Lineups
This is going to be one of our bigger slates this early in the season, so it'll be a little more risky to stack, but the Pheonix Suns vs. Los Angeles Lakers game is still the one to target. There are plenty of options to really flex your money with, but if you are spending […]

Last night was an exciting night in the NBA and we get a more relaxed schedule Sunday. With only four games this early in the season, tonight will be one of the tougher slates. No matter what tool you use, what stats you prefer, none of them really matter at this point. The first few […]

This is the first week of fantasy basketball and there are already plenty of names a case for why they need more minutes. Right off the bat and looking at last night, it's hard to ignore someone like Nik Stauskus. Guaranteed he will be the top scorer on your waiver wire, but his production is […]

Feels good being back in the swing of things doesn't it? With the first weekend of basketball right ahead of us, Friday night was the perfect start. Multiple teams are going to be playing on the second night of a back-to-back, including both the Pacers/Nets and Knicks/Celtics games. I wouldn't avoid these games, but there […]

We are officially on our second day of NBA DFS basketball and Thursday's three game slate has a lot to live up to. There are already plenty of names starting to emerge and unfortunately for the Miami Heat, they will be the only team on the second night of a back-to-back. A little cruel, but […]

This feels right. Yesterday was nice, but to be fair, those teams are always nationally televised. This is where we get to the real nitty-gritty DFS nonsense that we all love. A fat 12-game slate to start off the year for everyone and the options for value are endless. The first few games of the […]
Jake King-Finnen 6 years agoDanny Green Traded To Raptors
Alongside Kawhi Leonard, San Antonio Spurs guard Danny Green was sent to the Toronto Raptors in what could be a conference-changing trade. Both are two-way players and add to an already troublesome Raptors defense, without sacrificing any offense. Although the Raptors lost one of their better scorers, they added a major perimeter threat in Danny Green. […]

According to multiple sources including Adrian Wojnarowski, a trade between the San Antonio Spurs and the Toronto Raptors sent Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green to Toronto, with the Spurs receiving DeMar DeRozan, Jakob Poeltl, and protected 2019 first round draft pick. This is a complete shakeup for both teams, but ultimately sets up Kawhi Leonard […]

Free agency started on Sunday, but now that LeBron James is officially a Laker, let the madhouse OFFICIALLY begin. While there are still MULTIPLE free agents still weighing their offers, trades being tweaked and contracts being restructured, one of the more surprising early acquisitions revolved around Trevor Ariza and the Phoenix Suns. The veteran put […]

*pew pew* It's Showdown time. One game slates jam-packed with points and value. You need to hit every pick in order to cash out because there will be so many similar lineups going around. PICK THE SUPERSTARS. You absolutely must pick James Harden, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and Steph Curry. Chris Paul might have a […]

Tonight really isn't the greatest slate. Realistically, the entire second round of playoffs hasn't been that good in terms of DFS. It's been decent but the blowouts mess with decision making. With only two games that haven't offered up the most competition, choosing whether it will be a close game or a toss-up, now that […]

Top of the morning to you all and hopefully you are as excited as I am. We have two games with the stakes about as high as they can get and teams are fighting for reputation. Not going to lie I am absolutely loving all this minor league chaos going on and the narratives being […]

Both series tonight have taken a turn for the worst when it comes to DFS. Both teams are head and shoulders ahead of their competition and anything can happen tonight. It is very likely we see narratives tonight that weren't there, and unsung heroes will be the saviors. There isn't but one superstar to really […]

Two games tonight and there is value consistently throughout. For the sake of keeping things interesting i'll be sure to keep this list to mostly sleeper picks. Before anything, i'm going to go over a brief rundown of the games so far. In the earlier game, both Toronto and Cleveland are about as dead-set even […]
Jake King-Finnen 7 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (5/1/18): NBA DFS Lineups
Another two game slate and another chance to cash out big-time. Honestly, I think the NBA needs to give LeBron James another day of rest. They might lose a team when James knocks the Raptors out of the playoffs but tonight, it should be all about DeMar DeRozan, Kyle Lowry and James. I'll say this […]

We are going to do things a bit differently with only one game tonight. DraftKings offers a one game Showdown where you roster six utility players whose total salary you need to keep below $50,000. Although it's only one-game, there is value out there and I am going to offer up the cheapest prices that […]

There are two games tonight. One will be the ending of a great series, the other could be the start of something incredible. Either way, narratives will be set tonight and Anthony Davis is going to have a good game. You might as well start of your lineup creation will a healthy dose of value […]

So, this is different. There's only one game tonight after being spoiled with games last night. Only the Bucks and Celtics will play tonight and luckily FanDuel runs this nifty single-game contest that only allows you to roster five total players. To make it easy, I'll do my best to label each pick that is […]

Three games tonight and plenty of options. Usually this would be good but both the Celtics-Bucks and 76ers-Heat have been somewhat of a crapshoot. The shooters are hitting about every other game, although the superstars have been producing like they should. Game four of Warriors-Spurs shouldn't continue down that same path and expect the Warriors […]

Only two games on the slate which means this article will be on the shorter side. On night's like tonight, there are already plenty of sub-$3,000 options that are actually capable of exceeding their projected. They carry a fair share amount of risk but they also free up enough space to really roster whoever you […]

I almost started this article by talking about how great all today's series have been but that's a lie. The Warriors are going to continue to slap the Spurs around. Nothing against the Spurs; they are just missing their best player and the Warriors are just that good. You shouldn't completely avoid that game but […]

Four games this Saturday and so far there have only been two series that have really underachieved. The Pelicans-Trail Blazers series could be over today in New Orleans and the Warriors have the chance to close out the Spurs tomorrow afternoon. The Heat are looking to turn momentum in their favor with the early game […]

For what it's worth, the wife of San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich passed away after battling an illness for some time. While I didn't know either, take the time to spend time with loved ones and understand what the Popovich family is going through. The game is bigger than basketball and the best thing […]

Three games tonight means we can exercise our options, slightly. With playoff basketball, you can always roster starters and especially the ones with lower price tags. The rotations are significantly smaller so look for backups that have been producing all season. Tomas Satoransky, Delon Wright, Malcolm Brogdon, Darius Miller, Semi Ojeleye, and Ian Clark are […]

I'll be straight with you, even though two game slates aren't the best for DFS, they are my absolute favorite. It's all about putting the right player in the right place at the right time. For a brief recap and slight introduction into both game two's, the Warriors are still the Warriors and the 76ers […]

It's hard to write any lede other than PLAYOFFS over and over because that's how excited I am. Clearly it's containable but expect some of this energy to be let out in risk picks and dramatic reasonings. The first game of the postseason is one of the most telling games and everyone will get a […]

Finally. I don’t need to tell you what, but finally. We FINALLY get to see this 76ers hype under the microscope. We FINALLY get to see if this season was just another one of LeBron James carefully crafted regular season schemes. And most importantly, we FINALLY get to see if the Rockets are actually good […]

This is it. The last two days of the regular season. It's been a tumultuous season and now all the takes and preconceived notions will be put to the test.

There are nine games on the slate making today and Wednesday your last big nights in this NBA regular season.

There are six games total and they are all high-scoring. Add in that all the spreads are within 10 points and you have plenty of options to work with. Like usual, I'll keep my players on the cheaper/sleeper side of the spectrum, but still want to outline what will be the bigger talking points tonight. […]
