Fantasy Basketball's Stock(s) Market - 2nd Half Outlooks

In fantasy basketball, there are nine common categories that managers try to create the most value out of.

For our analysis today, we will collectively […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/27/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

One thing to notice about today's slate is the amount of games that are lined up to be high-scoring affairs. The Celtics, Thunder, and Mavericks are all slower-paced teams that are facing potent offenses that are capable of piling on points quickly. The Pistons will still be in for a challenge and the Mavericks will […]
