Jae Crowder Has Lousy Shooting Performance On Sunday
Utah Jazz small forward Jae Crowder was downright terrible on Sunday against the New Orleans Pelicans. He scored just five points on a mind-numbingly bad 1-for-11 shooting.

Building An Unconventional Juggernaut - A Story On Fantasy Basketball Draft Theory
Today, I'm going to do something a bit unique.

In leagues […]

NBA DFS Weekend Dumpster Dive Week 20
Hey Which is better, Harden’s disrespectful, “I just did that to you” stare to Wesley Johnson as he drills a 3-ball and asks for a cleanup in aisle “13”, or Lebron’s, “I may be 33, but watch me KaioKen x10 right quick with this behind-the-back, through the legs, left-handed, parallel to the backboard, layup.... with […]

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 […]

Well, now that the way-too-long All-Star break is over, we can get back to business. Technically, basketball returned yesterday, but that six game slate was pretty damn weak.

We're back to another huge Friday slate! We had six games last night to wet our whistles, but it's now time for a slate with double digit games. It seems as if most player's price tags dropped a bit from the All Star Break, which gives up a lot of good value, even if they […]
