DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (5/8/18): NBA DFS Lineups
Tonight really isn't the greatest slate. Realistically, the entire second round of playoffs hasn't been that good in terms of DFS. It's been decent but the blowouts mess with decision making. With only two games that haven't offered up the most competition, choosing whether it will be a close game or a toss-up, now that […]

Don’t be an optimizer chump; do your homework […]

There are only two games once again, which makes the slate somewhat difficult. There are a few players that are near must starts, but the majority aren't cheap. I'm going to focus on the best plays rather than the cheaper options. It may be a weird strategy, but I'm going with a "get the top […]
Stephen Curry Struggles From The Field In Game 3
Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry played his second game since returning from a knee injury on Friday night in Golden State's 119-100 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. Curry didn't have a great night in terms of shooting, scoring 19 points on 6-for-19 shooting while going 3-for-9 from three. He had six rebounds, […]

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson scored a team-high 26 points in Friday's Game 3 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. Thompson was 9-for-22 from the field and 3-for-9 from deep. He did the majority of his damage during a 20-point second quarter, though, and ended up with just six points in the other […]
Draymond Green Records Double-Double In Game 3 Loss
Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green put up some strong all-around numbers in Friday's Game 3 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, scoring 11 points on 3-for-8 shooting, grabbing 12 rebounds and dishing out nine assists.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry said that he would be able to play 30-plus minutes in Game 3 versus the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday. Curry finished with 28 points, seven boards, two dimes, three steals and five treys in 27 minutes during Game 2. Head coach Steve Kerr said Curry will start and […]
Patrick McCaw Will Likely Miss Entire Postseason
Golden State Warriors guard/forward Patrick McCaw (back) is expected to miss four more weeks of action. It does not sound like McCaw is going to take the court during this postseason. He's making progress, but this is not the type of issue that he can play though. This does not mean too much for the […]

How weird has this second round been? After most were thinking that the West would be two easy sweeps for the Rockets and Warriors (even though it is still likely for Golden State), the Cavs and Celtics are up two games in their respective second round matchups. Though a lot can change, things have been […]

We're back to another two game slate with two interesting matchups. The Utah Jazz have displayed the ability to keep up with one of the best teams in the NBA. The New Orleans Pelicans have not displayed that same ability, but their games against Golden State have featured an elite number of fantasy points. In […]
Kevin Durant Leads Golden State In Scoring In Game 2
Golden State Warriors small forward Kevin Durant scored a team-high 29 points on 11-for-23 shooting in Tuesday's Game 2 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. Durant also added seven assists, six rebounds, three blocks, and two steals. The return of Stephen Curry (knee) didn't phase Durant, who led the Warriors in shot attempts and played […]
Klay Thompson Struggles In Game 2
Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson was just 4-for-20 from the field in Tuesday's Game 2 win over New Orleans, finishing with 10 points to go along with six rebounds and three assists. DFS players shouldn't expect Thompson's shooting to look this way again, but his upside has been limited with the return of […]
Stephen Curry Scores 28 Points In Return
Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (knee) returned to the Warriors lineup after a two-month absence and quickly reasserted why he's the Warriors most important player, scoring 28 points on 8-for-15 shooting in 27 minutes off the bench. Curry also added seven rebounds, two assists and three steals. When Curry is playing this way, […]
Stephen Curry Will Play on Tuesday
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) will be available to play against the New Orleans Pelicans for Game 2 on Tuesday. Curry missed Game 1, but was expected to return for Tuesday's contest. However, he is expected to be limited in his first game back, so DFS owners should keep that in mind.

Another two game slate and another chance to cash out big-time. Honestly, I think the NBA needs to give LeBron James another day of rest. They might lose a team when James knocks the Raptors out of the playoffs but tonight, it should be all about DeMar DeRozan, Kyle Lowry and James. I'll say this […]
Klay Thompson Leads Warriors In Scoring In Game 1
Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson scored a team-high 27 points 10-for-22 shooting in Saturday's Game 1 win over New Orleans. Thompson also added six rebounds, two assists, and two blocks. Steph Curry (knee) could be back for Game 2, but if he sits again then Thompson can be expected to put up another […]
Stephen Curry is Questionable on Saturday
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) is questionable for Game 1 against the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday. Head coach Steven Kerr said Curry went through 5-on-5 scrimmage on Friday and is questionable for Game 1. It sounds there won't be a clear indication on his availability until closer to game time. There is […]

There are two games tonight. One will be the ending of a great series, the other could be the start of something incredible. Either way, narratives will be set tonight and Anthony Davis is going to have a good game. You might as well start of your lineup creation will a healthy dose of value […]
FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/24/18): NBA DFS Lineups
Three games tonight and plenty of options. Usually this would be good but both the Celtics-Bucks and 76ers-Heat have been somewhat of a crapshoot. The shooters are hitting about every other game, although the superstars have been producing like they should. Game four of Warriors-Spurs shouldn't continue down that same path and expect the Warriors […]
Draymond Green Grabs 18 Rebounds In Game 4
Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green continues to struggle to score in the Warriors first-round series against the San Antonio Spurs, but he put in a lot of work on the boards in Sunday's Game 4 loss, grabbing 18 rebounds.

Thompson was just 4-for-16 from the field and finished with 12 points, his fewest in the series. He grabbed five rebounds and had an assist as well. Thompson's DFS value lies mostly in his ability […]
Kevin Durant, Shaun Livingston Will Play in Game 4
Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant (ankle) and guard Shaun Livingston (ankle) are both expected to play in Sunday's Game 4 versus the San Antonio Spurs. Both players went through practice on Saturday and are fully expected to play their normal amount of minutes on Sunday. Durant has downplayed the severity of the issue and […]

I almost started this article by talking about how great all today's series have been but that's a lie. The Warriors are going to continue to slap the Spurs around. Nothing against the Spurs; they are just missing their best player and the Warriors are just that good. You shouldn't completely avoid that game but […]
Kevin Durant, Shaun Livingston Expected to Play Sunday
Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant (ankle) and guard Shaun Livingston (ankle) practiced on Saturday and are expected to play on Sunday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. Head coach Steve Kerr said Livingston should be OK and that Livingston's injury is worse than Durant's ankle. It does not sound like either player is going […]
Kevin Durant Will Play on Sunday
Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant (ankle) said he's "good" from the injury he suffered Thursday night. Durant says he will play against the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday. "It’s nothing," KD said. "It was a quick roll. It didn’t completely turn. I’m fine." Durant did head to the locker room before the game ended, […]
Stephen Curry Still Isn't Close to Playing
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) is "still not close to playing," according to Marcus Thompson II. There was footage released on Thursday of Curry doing full-court work. However, Thompson's sources say Curry "isn't in the final stages of his rehabilitation." It sounds like Curry will be re-evaluated on Friday, so there should be […]
Draymond Green Has Solid Night In Game 3
Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green scored 10 points on 4-for-9 shooting in Thursday's Game 3 win over the San Antonio Spurs.
