NBA ADP Out-Performers, Part I: Lou Williams, Taj Gibson, Nikola Vucevic

We’re closing in on the halfway mark of the NBA regular season. Enough games have been played to show how well players are fitting into new teams and new roles. Some players have been exceeding expectations and producing enormous fantasy value for their owners. But as fantasy fanatics, we want to know more than just […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/6/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Six games tonight with an early Warriors-Clippers game at 2:30PM. It's important to note the lack of options at small forward, and the problem is whether to go big with LeBron James or Giannis Antetokounmpo. Even Jimmy Butler is enticing, but both Butler and James have the better matchups on paper. Antetokounmpo will be going […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/6/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a 6 game NBA slate, which is a bit small for a Saturday but there are some very interesting options across the board. There are a number of injuries going around, so this should open up some value plays once we get the starting lineups. In this article, I will be providing you with […]

Jonathon Simmons May Miss Game Against Cavs

Orlando Magic guard/forward Jonathon Simmons (back) may not be available for the matchup against the Cavs on Saturday. Simmons was forced to leave the team's last outing against the Houston Rockets due to spasms and has practiced sparingly as a result.

Aaron Gordon Struggles Against Houston

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon struggled shooting against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday. Gordon managed to drop 16 points but did so on an ugly 7-for-23 from the field. He also shot 2-for-6 from deep but managed to narrowly miss a double-double by bringing down eight boards. Nonetheless, this poor shooting performance shouldn't discourage fantasy […]

Bismack Biyombo Notches Third Straight Double-Double

Orlando Magic center Bismack Biyombo tallied 13 points and 17 rebounds in a loss to Brooklyn on Monday. Biyombo has made the most of his starting role with Nikola Vucevic (hand) out for the next six or more weeks.

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 […]

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.

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. Most trade offers and waiver decisions are not that black and white however, and the answer is very context […]
