LeBron James (SF, CLE) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 2/1
LeBron James (at IND, $9,700) Do we ever need a reason to draft King James in Daily Fantasy? Well, yes, considering his price is coming close to tipping past $10,000, and at this point, let's hope it does because that'll means LeBron's heavy production has continued. James has always been a threat to fill the scoresheet, […]
Michael Carter-Williams (PG, MIL) and Khris Middleton (SG, MIL) - Stack on DraftKings 2/1
Michael Carter-Williams (at SAC, $6,400) The Sacramento Kings have given up over 110 points in four straight losses, two of which exceeded over 120. The Kings have also relinquished the second most fantasy points to point guards this season. You'll start to notice a specific pattern to this lineup very quickly. MCW has been rather inconsistent of […]
Brandon Jennings (PG, DET) - Value Play on DraftKings 2/1
Brandon Jennings (at BKN, $4,000) Jennings is coming off his best on-the-court and fantasy performance in over ten games. Against the Toronto Raptors on Saturday, Jennings scored 22 points, consisting of five three-pointers on 11 attempts. The Raptors are obviously a much better team than the Brooklyn Nets, and most of Jennings' production came during a […]
Karl-Anthony Towns (C, MIN) - FanDuel Stud on 1/31/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at POR, $8,400 ANALYSIS: Dude has dropped 47.2, 46.1 and 46.9 FanDuel points in three straight games against Cleveland, Oklahoma City and Utah, respectively. He is so studly that this is the only downside FanDuel could find on the big man: “more assists could help his fantasy value and his team’s play.” Wow. I’ll […]
Marvin Williams (PF, CHA) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/31/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at LAL, $5,400 ANALYSIS: All season the Hornets have been waiting for the former Tar Heel to break out, and now their patience is finally paying off. Of course it has taken injuries to Cody Zeller and Al Jefferson, but fantasy owners are quite happy with his recent production. Those injuries have really opened […]
Chris Bosh (PF, MIA) - Strong FanDuel Play on 1/31/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at ATL, $7,700 ANALYSIS: Most of the other options at this position have some questions, and Bosh is not without his. Primarily will Hassan Whiteside play? Of course that is also a Whiteside question, but if the giant center does miss his fifth straight game, then Bosh becomes the primary interior threat for the […]
Evan Turner (SF, BOS) - Safe FanDuel Play on 1/31/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at ORL, $5,300 ANALYSIS: Turner has scored double-digit points in six straight games and he is always a guy that will add some extra stats across the line. His minutes appears locked in right now in that crazy Celtic rotation, so he should continue to consistently contribute anywhere from 28-32 FanDuel points. Meanwhile, the […]
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 […]
Klay 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 […]
Dwyane 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 […]
Deron 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 […]
Kemba 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 […]
J.J. Barea (PG, DAL) and Chandler Parsons (SF, DAL) - DraftKings Stack/Matchup Play on 1/31/16
J.J. Barea (vs PHO, $4,200) Barea should see plenty of the floor against the depleted Phoenix Suns. While in a time-share rotation at point guard with Deron Williams and Raymond Felton, the three still see close to the same amount of court time. Barea has been playing around 25 minutes a night recently, scoring in double-digits in his last three. […]
Chris Bosh (PF, MIA) - DraftKings Tournament Play on 1/31/16
Chris Bosh (vs ATL, $7,700) In the absence of Hassan Whiteside, Bosh has stepped up his game. In the four straight games that the Heat center has missed, Bosh has scored in double-digits in all of them, while scoring over 20 in five of eight games played. Whiteside is questionable for Sunday's game, and if he laces up, […]
Langston Galloway (SG, NYK) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/31/16
Langston Galloway (vs GS, $4,500) Galloway has strung together a nice couple of games in relief of the injured Jose Calderon. Even with Calderon in the lineup last week against the Thunder, Galloway dropped 21 points in 33 minutes. The second year guard displayed plenty of explosiveness against the short-handed Suns Friday night, and will definitely be tested against […]
Marcin Gortat (C, WAS) - FanDuel Upside Play on 1/30/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at HOU, $6,900 ANALYSIS: Speaking of the Washington Wizards, Marcin Gortat plays tonight. He is going to face off against the Houston Rockets, who are one of the worst teams in the league against opposing big men, and Josh Smith is only going to make that worse. Gortat has not looked all that great […]
Josh Smith (PF, HOU) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 1/30/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs WAS, $4,100 ANALYSIS: Josh Smith is another great power forward option tonight, as he faces off against the Washington Wizards. Smith is being utilized heavily in the Houston Rockets' offense, even with Dwight Howard back in the lineup. J-Smoove is playing 25-30 minutes per game, and he is posting similar fantasy points. In […]
Myles Turner (PF, IND) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 1/30/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs DEN, $5,100 ANALYSIS: Myles Turner is listed as a power forward on FanDuel, and he should be able to dominate the Denver Nuggets tonight. Sure, Anthony Davis (possibly) is going to play, along with Draymond Green and others, but Turner provides the most 'bang for his buck.' He is, or at least did […]
Norris Cole (PG, NO) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/30/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs BKN, $4,700 ANALYSIS: Tyreke Evans is questionable to play tonight against the Brooklyn Nets, which means that Norris Cole's value could skyrocket. With both Anthony Davis and Tyreke Evans out against the Sacramento Kings, Cole posted almost 40 fantasy points with 17 points and 10 assists. The Brooklyn Nets are horrible against opposing […]
Kyle Lowry (PG, TOR) - FanDuel Tournament Play on 1/30/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs DET, $9,000 ANALYSIS: Kyle Lowry recently hurt his wrist, but he did not sit out of the last game the Toronto Raptors played. In fact, he posted over 50 fantasy points in 41 minutes against the New York Knicks. Prior to a little bit of a dry spell, Lowry was posting over 40 […]
James Harden (SG, HOU) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/30/16
James Harden (vs WAS, $10,100) Harden has been on fire, aside from a poor performance against the Spurs, in which he only played 28 minutes because it was a blowout. His price should be significantly higher than it is, as Harden is one of the best fantasy players in the NBA when he’s on fire. He […]
Jrue Holiday (PG, NO) - Strong DraftKings Play on 1/30/16
Jrue Holiday (vs BKN, $7,100) Holiday has been on fire recently, averaging 23.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 8.7 assists, and 2.0 steals (46.25 fantasy points) per game over his last three games. He gets a great matchup against the Nets, who have really struggled defensively this season, and Holiday can be used in all leagues. He’ll gain more […]
Myles Turner (C, IND) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/30/16
Myles Turner (vs DEN, $5,300) Turner has given the Pacers no choice but to give him minutes because of how well he has been playing. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 18.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks in only 26.6 minutes per game. He’s an extremely athletic player, who will be able to keep up […]
DeAndre Jordan (C, LAC) - DraftKings Smart and Safe Play on 1/29/16
DeAndre Jordan (vs LAL, $7,500) Jordan has been rebounding at an elite level recently, as he’s averaging 13.8 points, and 14.5 rebounds per game over the last 10 days. Tonight, Jordan gets a great matchup against the Lakers, who rank dead last in the NBA against centers this season. Jordan won’t have any troubles rebounding tonight, and […]
Kevin Durant (SF, OKC) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/29/16
Kevin Durant (vs HOU, $10,100) If you don’t want to pay up for Russell Westbrook tonight, Kevin Durant makes a great secondary option for the Thunder. His price isn’t quite as high, but he has been playing nearly as well as Westy over the last 10 days. Over that span, KD is averaging 29.6 points, 9.0 rebounds, […]
Zach Lavine (PG, MIN) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/29/16
Zach LaVine (at UTA, $4,900) LaVine has been playing big minutes because of the injury to Kevin Martin, and Martin will likely sit out again tonight. In his last two games, LaVine is averaging 28.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.0 steal per game. He has flashed tremendous upside in those two games, as he easily exceeded […]
Archie Goodwin (SG, PHO) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/29/16
Archie Goodwin (at NY, $5,600) Goodwin is finally at a price where he isn’t a must start tonight, but he still makes a great option. Over the last 10 days, Goodwin is averaging 18.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.6 steals per game. Brandon Knight is going to be out again tonight, which means Goodwin is locked into […]
Serge Ibaka (PF, OKC) - Value Play on FanDuel 1/29
Serge Ibaka (vs HOU, $5,800) Serge Ibaka is definitely more of a tournament play than a 50/50 play tonight against the Houston Rockets. The Rockets are horrendous against opposing big men, but Ibaka is just not consistent. In his last game, against the Minnesota Timberwolves, he only posted 11.3 fantasy points in 25 minutes on […]
Alex Len (C, PHO) - Value Play on FanDuel 1/29
Alex Len (at NYK, $4,800) Alex Len struggled against the Cleveland Cavaliers in his last game. He posted only 12.8 fantasy points, but prior to that game, he has been extremely solid. In three straight games prior to the Cavaliers debacle he posted over 30 fantasy points. He is a very effective scorer, and he […]
Russell Westbrook (PG, OKC) - Big Money Play on FanDuel 1/29
Russell Westbrook (vs HOU, $10,800) Russell Westbrook is the best guard option on the board tonight, as he plays the Houston Rockets. The Rockets love to push the pace of the game, and they have struggled against opposing point guards so far this season. Westbrook has over 50 fantasy points in two straight games now, […]
