Chandler Parsons (SF, DAL) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 1/31/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs PHX, $6,700 ANALYSIS: I am not quite ready to reinvest in Carmelo Anthony, but I certainly understand if some fantasy owners want to roster the budding Knick superstar. Instead, I will opt to free up some cap room and roster Parsons, a guy that has been as close to white hot as possible […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoKlay Thompson (SG, GSW) - Strong FanDuel Play on 1/31/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at NY, $7,000 ANALYSIS: It appears Mr. Thompson is in the middle of one of his patented hot streaks. He has gone 11-for-22 from behind the arc over his last two games, and Thompson typically is a guy that plays in three to four game bursts. The Warriors are massive favorites, but the starters […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoDwyane Wade (SG, MIA) - Reliable FanDuel Play on 1/31/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ATL, $7,800 ANALYSIS: Turn back the clock! Flash has indeed shown flashes of dominance that he displayed in the pre-LeBron years. The 34-year-old All Star is averaging 43.2 FanDuel points per game over his last four, playing no less than 32 minutes during that span. With the less than inspiring play being displayed […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoDeron Williams (PG, DAL) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 1/31/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs PHX, $5,500 ANALYSIS: After his dud performance against the Knicks on Thursday, the how to beat Archie Goodwin playbook is an open secret. As long as point guards play fast and attack the rim, the third-year veteran out of Kentucky will attempt to match basket for basket and get run out of his […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoKemba Walker (PG, CHA) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/31/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at LAL, $8,600 ANALYSIS: Certainly there is the possibility that Steph Curry sizzles in front of the New York crowd, but he is really going to cost you if you choose to roster the Baby Faced Assassin. Instead, you can save a little fake money by drafting Walker. Despite going an atrocious 12-for-50 from […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 1/31/16
Congratulations! You have reached the first Sunday in the NBA regular season in which DFS sites are not hosting NFL games as well. Pop open a cold one and tune in to the NBA’s seven game schedule for Sunday. Note: Today’s selections include only the 6:00pm EST games and on. In this article, I will […]

Nedimyer 9 years agoTaj Gibson (PF, CHI) - Value Play on DraftKings 1/28
Taj Gibson (at LAL, $5,500) I love the top two choices in Cousins and Anderson, but I implore you all to give Taj a nice look look for Thursday’s slate. Nikola Mirotic had an emergency appendectomy and will miss Thursday’s game, while Joakim Noah is out for what looks like a long, long time. The […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoWill Barton (SG, DEN) - Value Play on DraftKings 1/28
Will Barton (at WAS, $5,700) Don’t look now but it appears Barton’s forgettable two-week run is over and it couldn’t have come at a better time. His price has dipped from “utterly foolish” to “mostly acceptable,” and the Nuggets will have a nice matchup with the fantasy friendly, fast paced Washington Wizards. The Wiz have […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoDeMarcus Cousins (PF, SAC) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 1/28
DeMarcus Cousins (at NO, $11,000) I’ll make this quick. If Anthony Davis does not play- and it’s looking increasingly likely that he will not- then Boogie will absolutely demolish the Pelican front court. Heck, even if The Brow does go, Cousins should feast. Chalk up his last game to fatigue after coming off a double-overtime […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoJohn Wall (PG, WAS) and Marcin Gortat (C, WAS) - Stack on DraftKings 1/28
John Wall (vs DEN, $9,100) Denver’s perimeter defense is bad. Like real bad. Like 28th against point guards on the season kind of bad. John Wall is not exactly the type of guard that will bring those numbers back down. Optimus Dime’s nickname has proven true as of late. The sixth-year veteran out of Kentucky […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/28/16
An excellent slate is on tap for Thursday’s games, but it’ll be tough to not target two games in particular. The Nuggets and Wizards will tip off early in the night in what figures to be an up-and-down game with plenty of scoring. The late slate offers an incredibly fantasy appealing matchup between the Kings […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoSalah Mejri (C, DAL) - DraftKings Sleeper on 1/26/16
Salah Mejri (at LAL, $3,500) If Zaza Pachulia does not play Tuesday night, then Mejri looks to be the biggest benefactor. He has logged serious minutes in two of his last three games, while recording 32 points and 21 rebounds during that span. And we love picking on the Lakers here at Rotoballer.
Nedimyer 9 years agoKevin Durant (SF, OKC) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/26/16
Kevin Durant (at NYK, $9,800) There is something about Kevin Durant playing in Madison Square Garden, in the country’s largest media market, that makes me think that he will go HAM against the Knicks. Add in that Carmelo Anthony is reportedly dealing with some soreness in his surgically repaired knee and you have to wonder if he will be […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoDeMar DeRozan (SG, TOR) - DraftKings Smart Play on 1/26/16
DeMar DeRozan (vs WAS, $8,300) Every time Toronto balls against Washington, it seems like DeRozan pummels the Wizards. In three games this season against their divisional foes, he is averaging 30 points, six rebounds and three assists. Clearly he likes something in the Washington defense. With Kyle Lowry most likely being checked by John Wall, look for more of the […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoArchie Goodwin (SG, PHO) and P.J. Tucker (SF, PHO) - DraftKings Stack on 1/26/16
Archie Goodwin (at PHI, $4,500) Goodwin is still listed as a shooting guard on DraftKings and it is looking as if Brandon Knight is going to be out for Tuesday’s matchup in Philadelphia. Goodwin has played 39 and 41 minutes, respectively, in Phoenix’s last two games where he has started at the point, dropping a total of 68 DraftKings […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/26/16
Be warned. There will be a plethora of Phoenix Suns on the radar for Tuesday’s slate. I guess that’s what happens when nearly half the roster is injured. But boy, that’s kind of scary. In this article, I will be providing you with Daily NBA picks for DraftKings for 1/26/16. The picks will range from […]

Nedimyer 9 years agoDeMarcus Cousins (PF, SAC) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 1/21
DeMarcus Cousins (vs ATL, $10,600) Boogie is Boogie. The dude is averaging 58.4 DraftKings fantasy points over his last nine. Even more, he has been nailing triples like a guard out on the perimeter, shooting 15-for-33 from behind the arc during that span. If he isn’t the definition of locked in, I need to have […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoMarc Gasol (C, MEM) - Value Play on DraftKings 1/21
Marc Gasol (at DEN, $7,600) Regrettably, there is no 76er or Laker on the slate for Thursday, so we’ll have to attack the next best matchup. The Nuggets have been fried in the frontcourt over their last seven games, and Marc Gasol is not the exact medicine they need to cure what ails them. La […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoJrue Holiday (PG, NO) - Value Play on DraftKings 1/21
Jrue Holiday (vs DET, $6,500) Injuries, injuries, injuries. Tyreke Evans is still somewhat banged up and Eric Gordon will be out for four weeks, so someone will have to pick up the production that the Pelicans will need. Although Norris Cole will most likely start and is cheaper, Holiday is the safer option for cash […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoChris Paul (PG, LAC) and Jamal Crawford (SG, LAC) - Stack on DraftKings 1/21
Chris Paul (at CLE, $9,800) In terms of standout, must plays at the point guard position, there really isn’t any. Life would be easier if the Atlanta Hawks point guard situation was stabilized, but c’est la vie. As it is now, Paul is the safest option at the point on Thursday’s slate. The dude has […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/21/16
It’s been a weird couple of days in the DFS world. Players needed what seemed like 400 points on Tuesday just to clear in 50/50s, while Wednesday night allowed DFSers to skate through cash games with a cool 240 points. Not really sure what to think by that, other than we’re doing alright here at […]

Nedimyer 9 years agoHassan Whiteside (C, MIA) - FanDuel Upside Play on 1/17/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at OKC, $7,800 ANALYSIS: It is important to note that should Dwight Howard go, he is absolutely the number one play on the board because he is playing the Lakers. That being said, I do not expect Howard to suit up- because let’s face it, he’s still Dwight Howard- so Whiteside will be the […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoDarrell Arthur (PF, DEN) - Sneaky FanDuel Play on 1/17/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs IND, $4,300 ANALYSIS: The Denver frontcourt is all sorts of a mess right now and Arthur is the guy that is cleaning up. With Nikola Jokic’s demotion to the bench, Arthur has taken the center position by storm and there is seemingly no end in sight. He has averaged 18 points, 9.5 boards […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoJulius Randle (PF, LAL) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/17/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs HOU, $5,500 ANALYSIS: There aren’t a whole lot of plays that jump out at the power forward position. Chris Bosh seems stable but really has a low ceiling, LaMarcus Aldridge’s minutes are confusing, and Dirk Nowitzki, though consistent, draws the vaunted Spurs defense. There is an opening against the Houston frontcourt. For starters, […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoC.J. Miles (SF, IND) - Great Tourney Play on FanDuel for 1/17/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at DEN, $4,400 ANALYSIS: Time to get back on Miles, especially if PG13 ends up not suiting up. Miles has seen decreased production over the last couple games mainly because his shot has refused to drop. Opponents are shooting 46% from the field against the Nuggets, which is seventh-best (or worst, from a Nuggets […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoMonta Ellis (SG, IND) - No-Brainer FanDuel Play on 1/17/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at DEN, $6,200 ANALYSIS: It seems like George Hill is looking increasingly more like a no go for Sunday, and there are even more grumblings that Paul George may see less minutes or not play at all as well. I would be surprised if PG13 does not go, but Hill appears to be a […]
