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 […]

Toney Douglas (PG/SG, NO) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Former New York Knick Toney Douglas is being asked to step up for the Pelicans with Tyreke Evans ailing and Eric Gordon sidelined for a few weeks, and so far so good. On Monday Douglas scored 18 points while dishing six assists […]

Archie Goodwin (PG/SG, PHO) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: With Brandon Knight out for the next few games, it's Archie Goodwin's time to shine. Over his last three games, Goodwin has scored at least 20 points in each contest and has been a bright spot for the injury ravaged Suns. The […]

Reggie Jackson (PG, DET) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 1/27/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs PHI, $7,000 ANALYSIS: Reggie is criminally under-priced this evening and he has a great matchup to boot. While this isn't one of the games I mentioned targeting because of the high expected point total, the over/under in this one is 203, which is a pretty high number for a Detroit game. Jackson and his […]

The waiver wire is filled with under the radar play-making guards. Finding someone that averages more than five assists can be difficult at times if you don't already have an established star. The following potential waiver wire pickups all offer dynamic games that involve putting up solid assist numbers. Be sure to check out our […]

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 […]

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 […]

Damian Lillard (PG, POR) - Strong FanDuel Play on 1/20/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ATL, $8,800 ANALYSIS: Despite exceeding value in 6 of his last 10 games, Lillard has an extremely appealing pricetag this evening, a pricetag that has dropped $600 in total since the start of the month. Any time you can find a guy of Lillard's skill priced under 9K, the matchup is worth investigating, […]

NBA Guards: Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

The Waiver Wire is filled with lots of deeper cuts this week. Most of these players are owned in less than 20% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball leagues but have been producing at a much higher level than their ownership rate. All these guards are lesser known names who have been putting up better numbers than […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Since Jarrett Jack was ruled out for the season with a torn ACL, the Brooklyn Nets have struggled mightily to get consistent production from the point guard position. The bulk of the playing time was originally awarded to Shane Larkin, but Donald […]

Elfrid Payton (PG, ORL) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/18/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at ATL, $5,700 ANALYSIS: After missing four straight games, Elfrid Payton returned to the lineup a couple of days ago against the Toronto Raptors. He played 20 minutes and only posted 8.2 fantasy points. He should be able to return to his pre-injury form tonight against the Atlanta Hawks, but do not use him […]

Chris Paul (PG, LAC) - Top FanDuel Play on 1/18/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs HOU, $9,400 ANALYSIS: Chris Paul did not look good at all in his last game against the Sacramento Kings, as he only posted 28.3 fantasy points in 27 minutes of action. He gets another great matchup tonight against the Houston Rockets, and he should be able to take advantage of that. He is […]

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. […]

Mario Chalmers (PG, MEM) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 1/16/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs NYK, $5,600 ANALYSIS: Mario Chalmers exploded again in his last game against the Detroit Pistons. He scored 25 points, assisted the ball eight times, stole it four times, and posted over 45 fantasy points. Tonight, he gets a great matchup against the New York Knicks, so as long as Mike Conley does not […]

Ish Smith (PG, PHI) - Strong FanDuel Play on 1/16/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs POR, $6,900 ANALYSIS: Ish Smith has played extremely well over his past couple of games, and he should continue to excel tonight against the Portland Trailblazers. The Trailblazers are a solid defensive team, but Smith is essentially matchup proof. In his last five games, he has three games over 40 fantasy points, and […]

Garrett Temple (PG/SG, WAS) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: For those of you that were concerned that Bradley Beal's return would kill Garrett Temple's fantasy value, don't jump ship just yet! Beal is going to be on a minutes restriction for a while until he is fully healthy, so Temple should continue […]

Aaron Brooks (PG, CHI) - Great Value Play on FanDuel for 1/14/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at PHI, $3,700 ANALYSIS: This is one of my potential home run picks for the night. Although with Pau Gasol out, this game could be closer than normal, I still expect this game to be a blowout. Couple that with the fact that Derrick Rose did not practice yesterday, and there seems to be huge […]

Kyrie Irving (PG, CLE) - Safe FanDuel Play on 1/14/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at SAS, $7,700 ANALYSIS: Flashback to March 12th, 2015 against the Spurs. Kyrie Irving scores 57 real points (wow.), dishes out five assists, grabs three rebounds, swipes four steals and only has two turnovers on his way to a ridiculous 74.1 FD points (Again, wow).  While I don't think Kyrie will be able to […]

Aaron Brooks (PG, CHI) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add for a Short Term Boost at PG OWNED: 4% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues It's never good news when you hear the words "Derrick Rose" and "left knee" in the same sentence. The oft-injured former MVP left Tuesday night's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, saying something "just didn't feel right."  The current […]

Tyreke Evans (PG, NO) - Strong FanDuel Play on 1/13/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at SAC, $7,800 ANALYSIS: Tyreke is back to his drive-to-the-basket-at-all-costs ways, and as a result, his fantasy production has skyrocketed after taking a few dips in early and mid December. Not only has he recorded 36 fantasy points or more in each of his last four games, he's playing a lot of minutes, which helps […]

NBA Guards: Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

The Waiver Wire is filled with must add guards this week. All four are either producing at a high level or have the potential and upside to produce at a high level. With Eric Bledsoe, Jarrett Jack, Bradley Beal, and other guards injured it is important to always find a productive and consistent replacement. The […]

Shane Larkin (PG, BKN) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/11/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs SAS, $4,300 ANALYSIS: Shane Larkin is not a great basketball player. In fact, he is probably the worst starting point guard in the league right now. However, he is going to continue to play 25-30 minutes per game because Jarrett Jack is out for the season. Larkin gets a tough matchup tonight against […]

John Wall (PG, WAS) - Elite FanDuel Play on 1/11/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at CHI, $9,900 ANALYSIS: John Wall started to go on a decline prior to his last game, but after his solid showing against the Orlando Magic, in which is posted over 45 fantasy points, it seems as if John Wall is fine. He is definitely the best point guard on the board tonight, as […]

Shane Larkin (PG, BKN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add if you need a PG OWNED IN: 27% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: With Jarrett Jack out for the season due to a torn ACL, the Nets have had to turn to Shane Larkin and Donald Sloan to play the point. Neither has been great so far, but Larkin is the player you […]

Ishmael Smith (PG, PHI) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/7/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ATL, $6,100 ANALYSIS: Ish Smith has taken over in Philly, and in a big way. He's the only competent point guard on the roster, and it's shown with his gaudy assist totals. Now these aren't Rubio or Rondo assist numbers, but he's tallied at least nine in four of his six games as a […]

Darren Collison (PG, SAC) - Solid FanDuel Play on 1/7/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs LAL, $5,600) ANALYSIS: I only like Collison at this price if Rondo does not play. Right now he's questionable, so definitely keep an eye on that. Collison has shown that when give the opportunity to run the offense he has double digit assist potential. He's done so twice in the last five games, including […]

Chris Paul (PG, LAC) - Strong FanDuel Play on 1/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at POR, $9,000 ANALYSIS: I think you could go Westbrook in this spot as well for cash games, but with so many options tonight at point, I'd rather save the $1,700 and go with Paul. He's got a real nice floor, has been playing very well of late - he's exceeded value in eight […]

J.J. Barea (PG, DAL) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/5/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs. SAC) - $4,600 ANALYSIS: Deron Williams' reoccurring hamstring injury doesn't bode well for his status in Tuesday's game. If he plays, point guard is a mess. However, if he sits, I like Barea to have another strong outing. The Kings will push the pace, giving Barea plenty of chances to reach a double-double […]

Rajon Rondo (PG, SAC) - Elite FanDuel Play on 1/5/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at DAL) - $7,800 ANALYSIS: I don't love Stephen Curry tonight. Fresh off an injury, the first thing the Warriors will do if they get a sizable lead is bench their star. So, Rondo becomes the premier point guard of the night. Aside from the nice tear that he's on lately, he gets to […]
