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 […]
Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers (Week 12)
I spent the past week in Iowa without access to NBA games that weren't on ABC. It's tough as both a fan of basketball and a basketball writer to go a week without watching NBA games. It's especially tough to write a column when you're working so much off of highlight videos and stats, since […]

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.

Sunday starts off early with Wizards @ Clippers at 2:30PM, followed by Heat @ Brooklyn at 5PM. Both games offer a ton of value, especially in Clipper and Wizard backcourts.
