Full Story »Hassan Whiteside (C, MIA) - Risk/Reward DraftKings Play on 12/26
MATCHUP/VALUE: at ORL, $7,200 ANALYSIS: This pick comes with a bit of risk because of the way Whiteside acted on Christmas. He was extremely upset about being benched at the end of the game to say the least, and his actions resulted in his benching in overtime, as well. Earlier in the season, the Heat […]
Full Story »Kevin Love (PF, CLE) - Safe DraftKings Play 12/26
MATCHUP/VALUE: at POR, $7,900 ANALYSIS: If everyone would quickly remember back to Love’s days in Minnesota and how great of a rebounder he is, you know why I love him tonight. I continue to take great rebounders against Portland, who has struggled rebounding the ball this season. Love is coming off a huge game, in […]
Full Story »Jae Crowder (SF, BOS) - DraftKings Value Play 12/26
MATCHUP/VALUE: at DET, $5,900 ANALYSIS: Crowder is playing with a great amount of confidence right now, and it’s showing in the box score. Over the last three games, he’s averaging 20.3 points and 10.7 rebounds per game. He has been playing more power forward with Amir Johnson hurt, and he’ll make a great play in […]
Full Story »Nicolas Batum (SF, CHA) - Strong DraftKings Tournament Option 12/26
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs MEM, $7,200 ANALYSIS: Batum is another player who has flashed tremendous upside, but he has also flashed a bit of risk. In his last four games, he has scored 35+ fantasy points twice and less than 21 fantasy points twice. He gets a good matchup against the Grizzlies, who have really struggled against […]
Full Story »Kyle Korver (SG, ATL) - Cheap Tournament Play for 12/26
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs NY, $4,200 ANALYSIS: Korver has been playing fairly well heading into the Christmas break, as he was averaging 10.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game over the last 10 days. He gets a matchup against the Knicks tonight, who have struggled on defense at times this season. Korver has flashed great […]
Full Story »Eric Bledsoe (SG, PHO) - Solid DraftKing Play on 12/26
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs PHI, $8,300 ANALYSIS: Bledsoe was on fire, but he has really cooled off over the last couple of games. He had a short break because of Christmas, and he gets a great matchup against the Sixers tonight. Ish Smith will likely receive minutes tonight at point guard for the Sixers, and he very […]
Full Story »Ish Smith (PG, PHI) - Value Play on DraftKings on 12/26
MATCHUP/VALUE: @ PHO, $4,500 ANALYSIS: Smith comes with a ton of risk tonight because his minutes are far from guaranteed. He does know the Sixers offense, as he played with them last season, and he should be able to steal minutes at point guard. He flashed big play ability with the Pelicans earlier this season, […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Kelly Olynyk has become a staple in the frontcourt of a Boston Celtics team that surprisingly sits three games above .500 as of Christmas day.
