FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/7/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Hopefully, everyone has had a great start to 2018. The NBA features a five game slate on Sunday with many of those games featuring an abundance of mismatches.

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/5/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

You know what we deserve after a two game slate? Double digit games and good matchups. Tonight, we're getting both as there are 10 games across the Association. As usual, tip (and thus, FanDuel lock) is at 7pm EST. Two-thirds of the games are taking place in the Eastern or Central time zones, meaning we […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/5/18): NBA DFS Lineups

There were only two games last night, but that opens up a big slate for tonight. We have 10 games, which gives up a solid amount of players to choose from. There is no right or wrong way for lineup construction tonight, although I'm leaning more towards mid-priced options at this point. In this article, […]

Kent Bazemore Delivers 20 Points Against Phoenix

Atlanta Hawks forward Kent Bazemore exceeded expectations against the Suns on Tuesday night. Bazemore had 20 points on an accurate 7-for-8 from the field and 4-for-5 from deep. He contributed in other areas slightly but had ball-control issues, turning it over five times in the narrow loss. Though he is a solid player for the […]

Taurean Prince Has a Night to Forget

Atlanta Hawks forward Taurean Prince played horrendously in the loss to the Phoenix Suns. Prince shot 2-for-14 from the field, coming away with only nine points, and was also cold from behind the arc, going 1-for-7 on the night. Though he is outperforming his numbers from last season by far, his inconsistent nature is enough […]

Ersan Ilyasova Leads Team in Scoring

Atlanta Hawks power forward Ersan Ilyasova led his team in scoring despite narrowly losing to the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night. Ilyasova was efficient, scoring 21 points on 7-for-15 from the field and 3-for-7 from behind the arc. He was also busy on the glass, pulling down nine rebounds, leaving him just short of a […]

Dennis Schroder Struggles in Phoenix

Atlanta Hawks guard Dennis Schroder couldn't get it going against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night. Though he scored 20 points, he struggled shooting the ball, going 7-for-17 from the field and 1-for-5 from deep. He did manage to dish out five assists but had ball-control issues, turning it over five times in the narrow […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/2/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Christmas changed the usual pattern of the NBA schedule and as a result there was a relatively large Tuesday slate last week. However, things return to normal this week with a very small five game slate. To make things worse, rotation questions also litter the small slate. Normal headaches such as the Kings, Spurs, and […]

DraftKings NBA DFS (1/2/18): Lineup Picks, Sleepers and Advice

It's officially 2018, and I wish I could say that Tuesday's NBA DFS slate will be a little more full than Monday's, but we only have five games. Even still, five is better than three or two (which we have coming up on Thursday... ugh), so we can't complain. Let's help you build that bankroll up […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (12/30/17): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

In the seven games being played tonight, most feature some of the league's more susceptible defenses. The Pelicans, Hawks, Cavaliers, Nuggets, and Magic rank among the bottom 10 when it comes to Defensive Rating. It doesn't mean they will get dominated tonight, it just means that those teams have significant weakspots on defense that can […]

Roster Doctor: Grand Theft Otto Looks To Steal Some Wins

Fantasy basketball strategy doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Some decisions are easy – if they offer you Nikola Jokic for your Nikola Mirotic, you take it and run, you don’t need anyone to tell you that.

We've got a massive slate on Wednesday after a mini-slate on Tuesday that still had it's share of studs for such a small slate. That said, there's no LeBron, Anthony Davis, or Giannis tonight.

Fresh off a fantastic triple overtime victory on Friday over the 76ers, the Oklahoma City Thunder look to ease off its fans’ worries.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/14/17)

If this is your first year playing NBA DFS, I am truly sorry. It seems that injury news (or lack thereof) is crazier than ever these days. Hopefully we move towards simpler times as December rages on. In the mean time, just keep rostering LeBron James. That seems to be working so far, right? In […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/12/17)

Tonight's slate is a bit of mess due to uncertain injury situations, most notable being with Philadelphia and Cleveland. The return of Kawhi Leonard makes most Spurs plays hands off because there is little certainty as to what the rotation/usage will look like with his return. The Sacramento and Denver rotations are always changing as […]

Three-Man Weave: Fantasy Basketball Dumpster Divers

Unlike fantasy football, where there's more potential value found with high scoring teams, in fantasy basketball you can find value anywhere...even in the dump.

There are only six games on Sunday so I'll be addressing the "all-day" slate. Today's theme is rebound games.
