DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (10/27/16): NBA DFS Advice

The 2015-16 NBA season is officially underway. The first week of the season always offer up the toughest choices, as decisions must be based off of results from last season— or worse, the preseason. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 10/27/16. The DFS lineup […]

Brandon Jennings (PG, NYK) - 2016 Fantasy Basketball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Monitor as a possible late season waiver wire stash CURRENT ADP: NA ANALYSIS: With Derrick Rose already in the middle of a trial that could jeopardize his first season in a Knicks uniform, Brandon Jennings might very well find himself as the starting point guard in New York come the regular season. Jennings is among a handful of Phil Jackson's […]

D'Angelo Russell (PG, LAL) - 2016 Fantasy Basketball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Draft in rounds 5-8 CURRENT ADP: 66.8 ANALYSIS: D'Angelo “Ice in my veins” Russell is going to go off this year. I don’t know if people are punishing their fantasy teams because of the whole Nick Young fiasco or if they just don’t get how good this young guard is. He is now the dominant player on […]

Goran Dragic (PG/SG, MIA) - 2016 Fantasy Basketball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Draft in rounds 4-6 CURRENT ADP: 52.3 ANALYSIS: Goran Dragic had his worst statistical season in five years last season while still playing around the same amount of minutes (32 MPG). The immediate reaction is to assume that he’s aging and the decline has to do with that. As a result, he is being taken behind the […]

Dennis Schroder (PG, ATL) - 2016 Fantasy Basketball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Draft in rounds 4-8 CURRENT ADP: 62.8 ANALYSIS: The Hawks have finally decided to let Dennis Schroder loose. Remember Reggie Jackson while he was on the Thunder and people weren’t sure if he was ready to take over as “the main guy”? Basically the same situation is playing out right now in Atlanta. Just like Jackson, Schroder […]

Jeremy Lin (PG/SG, BKN) - 2016 Fantasy Basketball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Draft in rounds 6-10 CURRENT ADP: 88.6 ANALYSIS: Will Linsanity sweep through the Big Apple once more? Now in his second stint playing in New York, this time in a Brooklyn Nets uniform, Jeremy Lin will look to uncork some of the magic he bottled up and stored next to Landry Field's couch during his improbable run […]

J.J. Barea (PG/SG, DAL) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: He may be little, but he's playing big right now. J.J. Barea has played exceptionally well while Deron Williams has been shelved. Over the last eight games Barea has scored double digit points seven times. He only shot under 43% in one […]

Tim Frazier (PG, NO) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Short Term Add In Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Normally I wouldn't advocate for such a short term add, but it's crunch time. Tim Frazier has been playing really well for the decimated Pelicans in Norris Cole's absence. He's played 20+ minutes in all four games so far, and […]

Mario Chalmers (PG/SG, MEM) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Short Term Add OWNED: 30% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues Throughout his 8 year career, Mario Chalmers has been the type of player that both NBA teams and fantasy owners have classified as “useful” but not necessarily “reliable”. After being drafted towards the top of the second round back in 2008 by the […]

D.J. Augustin (PG, DEN) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: D.J. Augustin continued a mini-streak of strong play with a 26 point performance against the Lakers on Wednesday. He shot 63% from the field, hitting three 3-pointers and adding five assists. The incredible part of this performance was that 22 of his […]

E'Twaun Moore (PG/SG, CHI) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: E'Twaun Moore was a late second-round pick back in 2011, but never really found much success with any of his three NBA teams until this season. Bulls star swingman Jimmy Butler has battled injuries all season, most notably a knee injury that […]

Langston Galloway (PG/SG, NYK) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: The other "Gallo" (I bet New York has started wishing they still had their original "Gallo," Danilo Gallinari, since he's suddenly turned into a better player than Carmelo Anthony) looks like he could be earning a slot in the starting lineup […]

Donald Sloan (PG/SG, BKN) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Shane Larkin has frankly stunk it up at point guard this season for the Nets, so it's Donald Sloan's job now. This isn't breaking news, it's just that Sloan seems to have established a stranglehold on the point guard job. He won't […]

Shelvin Mack (PG, UTA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Shelvin Mack started on Tuesday against the Rockets, and scored 17 points in 32 minutes of play. Aside from that his stats weren't great, but Coach Snyder seemed to indicate that Mack would be the starting point guard moving forward. The six […]

Patty Mills (PG, SA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Patty Mills is starting to heat up for the Spurs, and is back on fantasy radars. Coach Gregg Popovich has stated that Mills is "starting to look like he did the year before, before his injury." He's looking confident on the court […]

Brandon Jennings (PG, ORL) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add for Point Guard Depth OWNED: 42% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues Back in December, I wrote a waiver wire piece about stashing Detroit point guard Brandon Jennings, an All-Star caliber talent who was several days away from working his way back from an Achilles injury last January. Despite the historically bleak outlook […]

NBA Guards: Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

After a lackluster trade deadline day there are only so many days until the basketball season comes to a close. The few moves that did happen changed things enough on certain teams, most notably Detroit and Orlando, that there are a few waiver wire guards worth considering. Position Eligibility & Ownership Rate Based on Yahoo! […]

Norris Cole (PG, NO) - Undervalued FanDuel Play on 2/11/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs NOP, $5,100 ANALYSIS: With Tyreke Evens out until the all star break, and Jrue Holiday on a 25ish minutes restriction, Norris Cole will be the biggest DFS beneficiary of the next few games.  Cole has shown that he can produce serious fantasy numbers when given starters minutes. He has scored over 30 FD points in […]

Jerryd Bayless (PG/SG, MIL) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Speculative Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Jerryd Bayless has rattled off three double digit scoring games in a row and he is worth keeping an eye on in deeper leagues. On Tuesday, Bayless put up 14 points, with one rebound and two assists in 32 minutes of […]

Cory Joseph (PG, TOR) - Cheap FanDuel Play on 2/10/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at MIN, $4,000 ANALYSIS: If you need salary relief at the point, Joseph is your guy on Wednesday. He draws a good matchup against the Timberwolves and since he comes off the bench, he likely wont have to deal with the pesky hands and defense of Ricky Rubio. Like Irving, Joseph too has exceeded […]

Kyrie Irving (PG, CLE) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 2/10/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs LAL, $7,600 ANALYSIS: There's a lot to like about Kyrie Irving this evening, and if his recent play is indicative of anything, he's in for a big time performance. Over the Cavaliers' last 10 games, Irving has exceeded value 80% of the time, and by an average of over seven points per contest. […]

NBA Guards: Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

This week's Waiver Wire Guards include two guys who everyone knows about already, but should be more universally owned. The other two targets are really deep sleepers who might have big time opportunities over the next couple of weeks to prove they belong on your fantasy team. Position Eligibility & Ownership Rate Based on Yahoo! […]

Archie Goodwin (PG, PHO) - Cheap FanDuel Play on 2/8/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs OKC, $5,200 ANALYSIS: Archie Goodwin has been solid over his last three games, and he should continue to play well tonight against the Oklahoma City Thunder. As I previously mentioned, this game has the ability to get out of hand, but Goodwin will play full minutes regardless. The Suns are very used to […]

Russell Westbrook (PG, OKC) - FanDuel Tournament Play on 2/8/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at PHO, $11,100 ANALYSIS: Russell Westbrook's price tag is now ridiculously high, so he is no longer a great 50/50 option, but he is still great in tournaments. In his last six games, he has over 50 fantasy points in five of them. The Phoenix Suns are the worst team in the league against […]

Dennis Schröder (PG, ATL) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Speculative Add/Stash in All Leagues OWNED: 27% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues Dennis Schröder was Atlanta’s first-round pick out of Germany in the 2013 NBA Draft. Now in his third NBA season, he has raised his career highs across the board while displaying outstanding quickness, ball-handling, and improved vision on the floor. At […]

Emmanuel Mudiay (PG, DEN) - FanDuel Value Play on 2/7/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at NY, $5,400 ANALYSIS: Despite continuing to turn the ball over like, well, a rookie point guard, Mudiay has put up some strong performances as of late. His minutes have been reaching into the low to mid-30s, and he has shown he is quite capable of draining buckets and dishing out dimes. Hopefully the […]

Isaiah Thomas (PG, BOS) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 2/7/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs SAC, $7,800 ANALYSIS: Look at it this way. The field is going to invest heavily in Thomas. I imagine somewhere in the 65-75% range. That’s just how good this matchup is. So even if you roster Thomas and he lays a dud- something that is not likely to happen- then it still won’t […]

Ish Smith (PG, PHI) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 2/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs BKN, $6,700 ANALYSIS: Ish Smith has really lost his consistency since landing in Philadelphia, but he is still worth a look in tournament lineups. In his last four games, he has two games under 25 fantasy points and two games over 40 fantasy points. If that doesn't scream inconsistency, I'm not sure what […]

Patty Mills (PG, SA) - Cheap DraftKings Play on 2/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs LAL, $3,700 ANALYSIS: Mills is going to play a larger role for the Spurs with Manu Ginobili out for an extended period of time. Mills has tremendous upside, as he recently scored 37.5 fantasy points in only 21 minutes against the Magic. He gets a great matchup against the Lakers tonight, who Mills […]
