FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (4/8/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
We get a nice-sized slate for a Thursday night, as seven contests are on tap. There’s already one virtually confirmed notable absence, as Giannis Antetokounmpo is considered doubtful to face the Mavericks. That takes some of the luster off the Milwaukee-Dallas matchup, but it’s far from the only intriguing game of the night. A Lakers-Heat […]

Fantasy Basketball Deep League Adds: Week 15
The deeper a fantasy league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to help […]
