DeAndre Jordan (C, LAC) - Solid DraftKings Play on 1/24/16
DeAndre Jordan (at TOR, $7,200) Jordan's price continues to surprisingly plummet, but that just makes him an even more appealing pick at center. Jordan has posted a double-double in ten of his last 11 games and has grabbed double-digit rebounds in 21 of 23. He's the top choice on Sunday at his position. Jordan has also been […]
Jason Terry (PG, HOU) and Corey Brewer (SF, HOU) - DraftKings Stack on 1/24/16
Jason Terry (vs DAL, $3,200) Terry got the starting nod Friday night against the Milwaukee Bucks, and exceeded his average fantasy points per game with six points, three steals, two assists, and a rebound. Now understandably, these are numbers that Russell Westbrook can post in about two minutes, but Terry is over $7,000 cheaper than the Energizer-Bunny point guard […]
DeMarcus Cousins (C, SAC) - No Brainer FanDuel Play on 1/23/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs IND, $11,100 ANALYSIS: DeMarcus Cousins should be automatic at this point. He has over 50 fantasy points in seven of his last nine games. In those games, he has over 60 fantasy points three times. He gets a great matchup against an injured Indiana Pacers squad tonight. Myles Turner has been playing a […]
Jabari Parker (PF, MIL) - FanDuel Value Play
MATCHUP/VALUE: at NO, $5,100 ANALYSIS: Jabari Parker has really stepped up for the Milwaukee Bucks, and I expect him to continue to play well tonight against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Pelicans are going to score rather easily against the Bucks, as they are not a great offensive squad, but the Bucks should score rather […]
LeBron James (SF/PF, CLE) - Strong FanDuel Play on 1/23/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs CHI, $9,600 ANALYSIS: The Cleveland Cavaliers broke an NBA record for firing their head coach. They were the best team in the league to ever fire their coach mid-season, so LeBron James really has something to prove tonight. He gets a tough matchup against the Chicago Bulls, but he should really come to […]
Louis Williams (SG, LAL) - FanDuel 50/50 Play on 1/23/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at POR, $5,800 ANALYSIS: Speaking of great upside, Lou Williams is playing against the Portland Trailblazers tonight. He has not broken the 30 fantasy points mark in four straight games, but prior to that, he had over 30 fantasy points in three straight games. In one of those games, against the Oklahoma City Thunder, […]
Damian Lillard (PG, POR) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 1/23/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs LAL, $8,700 ANALYSIS: Damian Lillard has struggled over his last couple of games, but he should be able to turn things around tonight against the Los Angeles Lakers. Last game, he posted over 30 fantasy points, but prior to that, he scored 25.4 and 17.4 fantasy points against the Washington Wizards and Philadelphia […]
Lebron James (SF, CLE) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/23/16
LeBron James (vs CHI, $9,700) LeBron James hasn’t been playing all that well over the last 10 days, but he is coming off a huge game against the Clippers. He has flashed tremendous upside, as he has the ability to triple double on any given night, and he gets a great matchup against a weak Chicago defense […]
Dennis Schroder (PG, ATL) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/23/16
Dennis Schroder (at PHO, $4,900) Teague and Schroder are splitting minutes in Atlanta, and Schroder is cheaper, which is why he gets the write up. This game could also be a quick blowout, and the Hawks will likely give Schroder more minutes if that’s the case. He’s been playing well over the last 10 days, as he’s averaging […]
DeMarcus Cousins (PF, SAC) DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/23/16
DeMarcus Cousins (vs IND, $10,700) Boogie is on a roll right now, and there’s no stopping him. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 29.4 points, 14.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 blocks, and 1.2 steals per game. He get a great matchup against the Pacers, who he dominated for 51.5 fantasy points earlier this season. Cousins plays big […]
Wille Cauley-Stein (C, SAC) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/23/16
Willie Cauley-Stein (vs IND, $4,300) There are a few great elite options tonight, which means you’re going to have to find a few value players, and WCS fits the bill. He recently returned from injury, which is why his price is so low, but he has played 29 and 30 minutes in his last two games, and […]
Aaron Gordon (SF, ORL) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/22/16
Aaron Gordon (vs CHA, $4,400) The Magic hinted that they would change the starting lineup for tonight, which most likely means Aaron Gordon will start at power forward for Channing Frye. Gordon has played at least 27 minutes in three of his last four games, and he’s averaging 27.1 fantasy points per game in those three games. A […]
Carmelo Anthony (SF, NYK) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/22/16
Carmelo Anthony (vs LAC, $8,300) I’m going to continue to use Melo until DraftKings raises his price a bit. He’s entirely too cheap, as he’s averaging 22.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 6.8 assists per game over the last 10 days, including a game in which he only played 18 minutes. He has been shooting the ball over […]
James Harden (SG, HOU) & Terrence Jones (PF, HOU) - DraftKings Stack on 1/22/16
James Harden (vs MIL, $10,000) Harden has really been struggling recently, but he’s coming off a huge triple double, in which he scored 33 points with 17 rebounds, and 14 assists. In that game, Dwight Howard was injured early on, which gave Harden the opportunity for more rebounds. Tonight, Howard will be out again, and Harden will likely handle […]
Terrence Jones (PF, HOU) - Value Play on FanDuel 1/22
Terrence Jones (vs MIL, $4,500) Terrence Jones is going to play big minutes for the Houston Rockets tonight, as Dwight Howard is injured. Ty Lawson basically took out his own teammate, but that is for another conversation. Jones gets a great matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks, and he should be able to crush value. Jones […]
Jonas Valanciunas (C, TOR) - Value Play on FanDuel 1/22
Jonas Valanciunas (vs MIA, $6,300) Jonas Valanciunas is the best worst center in the entire league. I'm not kidding. He posted over 30 fantasy points three of his last four games, and he is double-doubling on a consistent basis. He only plays right around 30 minutes for the Toronto Raptors per game, but he does […]
Russell Westbrook (PG, OKC) - Big Money Play on FanDuel 1/22
Russell Westbrook (at DAL, $10,700) Russell Westbrook is simply the best point guard in the league for fantasy purposes. Stephen Curry is definitely making a run right now, but he is not nearly as consistent as Westbrook is, and he is usually overpriced. Westbrook is always priced right around where he should be. In his […]
DeMarcus Cousins (C, SAC) - Elite FanDuel Play on 1/21/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ATL, $10,700 ANALYSIS: I really like the Hawks vs. Kings matchup tonight, and Cousins is reason number one. Last night he totaled a ridiculous 61.7 FanDuel points, and although it was against the Lakers, I'm rollin with Boogie when he's hot. He's reached 60 FanDuel points three times over his last ten games, and in that same […]
Ersan Ilyasova (PF, DET) - Cheap FanDuel Play on 1/21/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at NOP, $5,800 ANALYSIS: Ilyasova is certainly not a sexy name to roster in DFS, but tonight he has a great matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans. He's also been producing 5x value almost every night for the past week. In four out of his last six games, Ersan has totaled over 30 FanDuel points - […]
Paul Millsap (PF, ATL) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 1/21/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at SAC, $8,700 ANALYSIS: Millsap is one of my favorite DFS picks of the night. His Hawks will be playing a Kings team that plays even faster than they do, and plays little-to-no defense. Vegas thinks this game is going to be very close with a spread of only a point, which is even better […]
Danilo Gallinari (SF, DEN) - Safe FanDuel Play on 1/21/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs MEM, $7,100 ANALYSIS: Gallo has been playing pretty well of late, and has a juicy matchup against Memphis tonight. Never did I think that I would look forward to rostering guys against Memphis, but here we are. Last time Danilo faced off against Memphis this season he dropped 41.1 FanDuel points, tallying 29 real […]
Kawhi Leonard (SF, SA) - Great FanDuel Play on 1/21/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at PHO, $7,600 ANALYSIS: Another big name that's just priced too low. Kawhi is going against one of the worst defenses in the NBA, and I can roster him for under $8,000?! Sign me up. Even though this game will likely not be close, Kawhi will be a big reason why. He should be […]
J.J. Redick (SG, LAC) - FanDuel Upside Play on 1/21/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at CLE, $5,600 ANALYSIS: J.J. Redick is straight up on fire. Against Houston two nights ago, he went 9-of-12 from three point range on his way to a career high 40 points. I'm going with the hot hand in another big game against Cleveland tonight. This game is going to be close and high […]
Devin Booker (SG, PHO) - FanDuel Upside Play on 1/21/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs SAS, $4,300 ANALYSIS: Yes, I may have a fantasy crush on Devin Booker. He's on a bad team and has been given the green light to fire away on offense. Unfortunately, the Spurs have one of the best defenses in the NBA by any measure, but just based on pure volume Booker should easily […]
Kyrie Irving (PG, CLE) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/21/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs LAC, $7,200 ANALYSIS: His price is still just too low. With the potential to score 50 or more FanDuel points on any given night, I'll roll the dice on Kyrie getting his groove back tonight. This game should stay relatively close all night, and they'll need Kyrie's scoring if they want to keep up […]
Patrick Mills (PG, SA) - Cheap FanDuel Play on 1/21/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at PHX, $3,500 ANALYSIS: With Tony Parker already ruled out, Patty Mills will wind up being a very popular choice tonight. Priced at the FanDuel minimum, Mills should be able to fall into 5x value with all the minutes he'll get against the Phoenix Suns tonight. Although this game has the largest potential for a […]
DeMarcus 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 […]
Marc 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 […]
Jrue 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 […]
Chris 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 […]
