DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/11/22): Preseason NBA DFS Lineups

These slates are never all that easy to solve and we can see them get turned on their head rather quickly. Yesterday, after I finished writing in the morning we saw Joel Embiid ruled out, and then Miami decide to rest all of their core players, too. Just make sure if you haven't already you […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/5/22): Preseason NBA DFS Lineups

Only some modest profits last night, as I made some educated guesses that didn't pan out.

We had the Knicks guys pegged correctly, but Utah was a […]

Fantasy Basketball Category Studs: Blocks And Steals

Blocks and steals, the two defensive stats used in typical category leagues, may seem secondary but they are just as important to manage as rebounds or assists, and they should not be overlooked.
