Only four games on the schedule tonight, and the matchups are brutal compared to all of the action we had last night. We should have one huge blowout, a couple of defensive slug fests, and a revenge game for a big time player. As if that wasn't enough, injury concerns are scattered throughout the slate. […]

Full Story »Larry Nance, Jr. (PF, LAL) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add for Rebounds and High FG% OWNED: 12% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues Larry Nance Jr. may never be able to escape his famous last name, but at least it makes him pop off the page almost as much as his college career at Wyoming did. Nance was a late first round pick […]
Full Story »NBA Guards: Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers
The waiver wire is filled with guards getting opportunities because of someone getting injured. Injuries are the number one way fantasy seasons are won and lost. The most recent major injury comes in the form of Jarrett Jack going down for the season with a torn ACL. There is a chance no one steps up […]
Full Story »Trey Burke (PG, UTA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED: 48% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues Trey Burke has struggled to transition his college-level superstardom to the NBA in his brief career, which has had its series of ups-and-downs since being selected in the top 10 back in 2013. At times, he has overcome his undersized frame by showing […]
Full Story »Andre Drummond (C, DET) - Must-Play on DraftKings for 1/4/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ORL, $9,200 ANALYSIS: No matter his price, Drummond is always worth the nod. The center has 29 double-doubles in 34 games this season, and has failed to reached double-digit rebounds in only three. His average of 16.1 rebounds a night is higher than what most players average scoring a night. Drummond's value is […]
Full Story »John Henson (PF, MIL) - DraftKings Sleeper Play on 1/4/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs SA, $4,100 ANALYSIS: Henson has posted 20+ fantasy points in four of Milwaukee's last six games. The former Tar Heel plays just enough behind starter Jabari Parker to produce efficiently for his cheap price. The Bucks draw the Southwest Division leading Spurs, in what will most likely be a lopsided affair, showcasing plenty […]
Full Story »Draymond Green (PF, GSW) - Elite DraftKings Play on 1/4/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs CHA, $9,900 ANALYSIS: If Green's price was five-figures, I probably wouldn't pick him. Okay, so maybe that's a lie, but the Warriors starting power forward enters Monday high off of a 86.75 fantasy point performance. It's unlikely that Green will duplicate his stats from Saturday but he is always a triple-double threat and […]
Full Story »Jae Crowder (SF, BOS) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/4/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at BK, $6,200 ANALYSIS: Crowder will also benefit, as those on Golden State, of openings on the court, as other Celtics in the starting lineup are likely to be sidelined. Avery Bradley has officially been ruled out of Monday night's game, while Isaiah Thomas is the only other potent scoring threat on Boston. Crowder […]
Full Story »P.J. Hairston (SF, CHA) - Cheap DraftKings Play on 1/4/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at GS, $3,400 ANALYSIS: This is another handcuff situation, where Hairston is tied to the status of Nicolas Batum. Batum is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the defending champions, and if he doesn't dress, Hairston will likely start in his place again. In relief of Batum Saturday, Hairston scored 10 points and […]
Full Story »Klay Thompson (SG, GSW) - Strong DraftKings Play on 1/4/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs CHA, $7,800 ANALYSIS: Thompson is the second of four players on this list that could benefit from the absence of Stephen Curry. If Curry sits, the Warriors will look to their second-leading scorer for most of the production. Thompson is entering Monday riding two straight games of 40+ fantasy points, and three out of […]
Full Story »Rodney Hood (SG, UTA) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/4/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs HOU, $5,500 ANALYSIS: Hood is coming off a season best 47.5 fantasy points, in his season high 32 point performance against the Grizzlies Saturday. It was the second straight game Hood broke out for 40+ fantasy points, and now faces a very generous defensive team in the Houston Rockets. Not saying that Hood […]
Full Story »DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/4/16
Injuries will plague teams all season. There's no avoiding that. But from injuries emerge opportunities, for unlikely candidates, and for those who share the spotlight. Tonight's lineup features several defending champions looking to pick up the slack in the absence of the NBA's best player, along with a center who eats double-doubles for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, […]
Full Story »Gordon Hayward (SF, UTA) - Solid FanDuel Play on 1/4/16
Gordon Hayward (vs HOU, $7,500) Gordon Hayward is playing better in Utah so far this season, so being at home will definitely help his case. He also gets a fantastic matchup against the Houston Rockets, who are one of the worst teams in the league against the small forward position. Against the Portland Trailblazers, he scored over […]
