There's an old cliche, "Offense wins games, defense wins championships." While that may ring true in the NBA, in fantasy basketball, owning a player who can score the ball at a high level can aid you in a number of ways.

Carmelo Anthony Scores Just Nine Points
Oklahoma City Thunder power forward Carmelo Anthony struggled from the field against the Orlando Magic Monday night despite the win. He mustered up just nine points on a horrid 4-for-15 shooting and as is usually the case with Anthony this year, if he's not shooting well, he doesn't contribute much, as he added just nine […]

NBA Injuries and Who Can Benefit Instead (Week 20)
This season long pile-up of injuries has had me thinking, “Are we about to enter a Walking Dead-style apocalypse where this injury bug inevitably spreads and turns us all into walkers looking for flesh?!” This late in the year, even after the All-Star Break, injuries are commonplace. What isn’t as common as years past, is […]
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/26/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
I'll be honest, I am starting to get the multi-sport cravings again. The beautiful thing about hoops is that, up through the Super Bowl, we always have another sport to play and having that really decreases the chances you get burnt out on one sport. February changes all that, and it's been a long, short […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/24/18): NBA DFS Lineups
There are a lot of solid options in the first weekend back after the horrendously long All-Star break. Due to a projected low-score and slow-pace, I am staying away from Miami/Memphis and Dallas/Utah games with OKC/Golden State and Portland/Phoenix being our highest-scoring and fastest-paced games of the day. In this article, I will be providing […]
