Tony Parker (PG, SA) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/17/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs DAL, $6,100 ANALYSIS: If you caught some of that San Antonio-Cleveland game on Thursday night on TNT, you probably saw Gregg Popovich flag down Parker just to give the old point guard a ‘way to go.’ And with good cause. Parker has apparently outdone Ponce de Leon and found the fountain of youth. […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 1/17/16
Let’s be perfectly clear here: this is a basketball piece. Basketball is the name of the game when reading this, specifically daily fantasy plays on FanDuel. But I would be remiss if I did not mention this - Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go!! I realize two things just happened when you read this. […]

Nedimyer 9 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/14/2016
Now that none of any of us reading this won $1.5 billion, it’s time to take our chances back on DraftKings and NBA DFS play. With a whole new day upon us, the slate looks rather nice for Thursday night. Usually we are dealing with three or four games, but Thursday night is loaded with […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoTrevor Ariza (SF, HOU) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/12/16
Trevor Ariza (at MEM, $5,200) The Memphis Grizzlies are no longer a scary team. They rank in the middle of the pack in defensive efficiency, opponent field goal percentage, and are allowing the third most three point attempts per game. On the other side of the ball, Ariza is starting to heat up as he has gone […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoCarmelo Anthony (SF, NYK) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/12/16
Carmelo Anthony (vs BOS, $8,500) So it appears Carmelo Anthony has decided to unleash his inner point guard this season. In his last outing, Melo passed out eight assists to go along with his 10 boards and 24 points. You’d have to go back all the way to December 18 to find a game in which Melo […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoTyreke Evans (SG, NO) - Solid DraftKings Play on 1/12/16
Tyreke Evans (at LAL, $8,100) In 18 games played this season, Evans has played at least 30 minutes in all but three- all blowout losses to Boston, Phoenix and Orlando, respectively. Something tells me the Lakers will not be blowing out the Pelicans on Tuesday, which means Evans should easily push solid playing time yet again. Evans […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/11/16
How about that Monday night? After a monster (three game) slate on National Championship night, it’s safe to say that we’re all ready to get back down to the business of having multiple games on tap. With eight games on the schedule, there is plenty of opportunity to get back into playing in those safe […]

Nedimyer 9 years agoTaj Gibson (PF, CHI) and Pau Gasol (C, CHI) - Stack on DraftKings 1/7
Taj Gibson (vs BOS, $5,900) Jimmy Butler has been getting all the highlights, but Gibson has been quietly effective since his insertion in the starting lineup. Against the Celtics, he will face a front court that struggles against players that ball like bullies, which is Gibson in a nutshell. Butler has been playing at a […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoPaul Millsap (PF, ATL) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 1/7
Paul Millsap (at PHI, $8,300) For a little bit more salary relief, look at the second-highest priced option on the board. At 2k cheaper, I’ll gladly continue to utilize the tried, tested and true strategy of picking on the Philadelphia front court. The lowly Sixers give up a ton of offense and defensive boards to […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/7/16
The Thursday slate is rather intriguing. The Sixers and Lakers are both on tap, causing fantasy owners to think heavily on targeting those individual matchups. On the other hand, fantasy owners have employed unique strategies in cash games this season. So unique that they have yours truly contemplating bypassing 50/50s and cash games altogether and […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoPaul Millsap (PF, ATL) - DraftKings Smart and Safe Play on 1/5/16
Paul Millsap (at NY, $8,100) After a couple rough games, Millsap has bounced back like a bully on the school yard. Over Atlanta’s last four games, Millsap has averaged 21.75/9/4.75/1.75/3.25, which is good enough for 49.6 DKP per game during that span. Silly. He should have no problem attacking Kristaps Porzingis and all of his defensive inefficiency.
Nedimyer 9 years agoCarmelo Anthony (SF, NYK) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/5/16
Carmelo Anthony (at ATL, $8,200) Melo has the highest floor of any swing/small forward on the slate for Tuesday. Sure, picking him comes with some baggage. He is having his worst shooting year of his career since his rookie season and his usage rate is the lowest it has been in 10 seasons. Still, I’ll have no […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoShaun Livingston (PG, GS) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/5/16
Shaun Livingston (at LAL, $4,500) Although I am not an NBA coach (yet), I don’t think there is any way the Warriors will play Steph Curry. He is listed as questionable as of this writing, but Golden State will be on the back end of two straight and will most likely be favored by about a million […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoWesley Matthews (SG, DAL) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/5/16
Wesley Matthews (vs SAC, $5,000) Sacramento has allowed a blistering 45 DKPPG to opposing shooting guards over the last five games, which ranks them last out of every team during that span. Matthews hasn’t exactly been lighting it up over his last ten games, but he has shown some flashes of getting back into the groove as […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/5/16
On tap for Tuesday is a schedule that features several teams that play a style of basketball that relies on several players eligible to score at any given time when on the floor. The Mavericks, Warriors and Kings are three of the teams that feature several players that offer great value for DraftKings in their […]

Nedimyer 9 years agoKevin Love (PF, CLE) - Safe DraftKings Play for 12/29
Kevin Love (at DEN, $7,600) I’m kind of trying to figure out why- why is his price so low? Love is the second most expensive power forward on tap for Tuesday night, yet he will most likely be the top producer at the spot for the evening. Kenneth Faried is a plus interior defender, but he is going […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoMatthew Dellavedova (PG, CLE) - DraftKings Value Play for 12/29
Matthew Dellavedova (at DEN, $4,800) This was a real toss up between Delly and Jameer Nelson, but in the end, it makes sense to go with the Aussie. Neither of these guys is an any danger of losing a lot of minutes to the guy behind them- keep in mind that Kyrie Irving will most likely not play- so projecting […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/29/15
With the exception of what may transpire in Oklahoma City, every game figures to be relatively close, theoretically leading to much more minutes for the starters. That’s how the theory goes. Most of the teams on slate also played on Monday night, so there’s that too. Have fun on this six-game schedule! In this article, […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/22/15
Another four-game slate is on tap for this Tuesday. The small amount of games means that cash and 50/50 games are likely to get saturated by randomness and wild cards. But fear not! The Sixers and Lakers are both playing. You could probably get away with stacking Grizzlies and Nuggets in the long run. In […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoJameer Nelson (PG, DEN) and Kenneth Faried (PF, DEN) - DraftKings Stack for 12/22
Jameer Nelson (vs LAL, $5,400) The only team worse than the Nuggets at defending the point is….drumroll, please….the Lakers. Big surprise, right? Truth be told, I am not in love with Nelson here, but he is the best option in an otherwise poor field. Lou Williams presents some value but will most likely be splitting time with D’Angelo Russell […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoJames Johnson (SF, TOR) - DraftKings Value Play for 12/22
James Johnson (vs DAL, $3,900) For simple value purposes, Johnson makes sense. Toronto has been reeling offensively and will need anyone to step up. The injury to DeMarre Carroll pushed Johnson into the starting lineup and the recent poor play of Lowry has forced him to become a scorer. Johnson has scored at least 26.25 DraftKings points over his […]

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! Two slate on tap for Sunday and they are filling up mega fast. The early games look to feature a little more blow out potential (cough cough, Cleveland and Philly), but the late games should be action packed. In this article, I will be providing you with Daily NBA picks for DraftKings […]
Nedimyer 9 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/17/15
It looks like the beat down in Oakland has finally finished, so that means it is time to talk Thursday. With only three games on the slate, the margin for error is razor thin. For that reason and that reason only, most of my selections today will be for tournaments and not for cash game […]
