Kevin Love (PF, CLE) - DraftKings Big Money Play, 12/17

Kevin Love (vs OKC, $8,000) For all you Serge Ibaka haters out there (cough cough, yours truly, cough), we’re going to see if all that practice of him standing out near the three point line has finally paid off. Because Kevin Love will be taking outside shots. And despite Ibaka’s insistence to hang out near the arc, I am... Read More

D'Angelo Russell (PG, LAL) - Tournament Value Play for DraftKings, 12/17

D’Angelo Russell (vs HOU, $5,400) The rookie out of Ohio State is bar none the top value play at point guard of the day, despite most likely starting off the bench. Russell has scored at least 41 DraftKings points in two out of his last three games while averaging about 34 minutes of playing time during... Read More

Isaiah Thomas (PG, BOS) - DraftKings Value Play for 12/15

Isaiah Thomas (vs CLE, $7,700) The suspension of Rajon Rondo leaves Thomas as the premier point guard for cash game plays. Thomas has really taken advantage of his chances with Marcus Smart out. He is averaging 1.17 DraftKings fantasy points per minute and has been consistently putting in 34+ minutes every start. Though Cleveland is known as a defensive efficient team,... Read More

DeMarcus Cousins (PF, SAC) - DraftKings Big Money Play for 12/15

DeMarcus Cousins (vs HOU, $10,200) If you want to pay up here for Boogie, I get it. I really do. The dude has exceptional potential to absolutely crush the Rockets by himself. Houston trails only the Sixers in fantasy points allowed to opposing power forwards. But Boogie has been rather erratic over the last two weeks and... Read More

Zach LaVine (PG, MIN) - DraftKings Sleeper for 12/15

Zach LaVine (vs DEN, $5,500) Jameer Nelson, Darren Collison and Patrick Beverley are all cheaper than LaVine and all have plus matchups in their respective games, so all three could be owned heavily in all formats. Even LaVine’s teammate Ricky Rubio looks like a solid play. But if you’re trying to win a tournament, you gotta select a guy that perhaps no... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/15/15

It’s a rather weird slate for Tuesday. There are only four games but at least three of the four should be rather high scoring and each roster has low level and mid-tier players that are projected to get serious minutes. This means that tournaments and cash games will most likely have high scoring numbers. Good... Read More

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 12/13/15

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I love playing daily fantasy basketball on Sundays. Most fantasy players are worried about their football lineups, leaving room for the basketball gurus to slide in and take down some leagues. Regrettably, there’s a short slate on tap for today, meaning there is little margin for... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/10/15

After a six game slate last week, we’re back to a short schedule on Thursday.

In this article, I will be providing you with Daily... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/8/15

Oh DeMarcus Cousins. Why must you torment me so? You are so due for a huge bounce back game, but how can I possibly pay that price? Now I know what Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides were feeling 2500 years ago. In this article, I will be providing you with Daily NBA picks for DraftKings for... Read More

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 12/06/15

Aah Sunday basketball. Nestled and tucked away behind the craze that is (fantasy) football season. That’s okay. I’ll take advantage of some double-up and tournaments that aren’t exactly being filled up with quality research. Or even filled up with entries for that matter. Have fun today. In this article, I will be providing you with... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/03/15

It’s Thursday and that means that the NBA schedule is pretty blah yet again. Looking at the schedule tonight, and….oh, wait. Six games on the slate tonight?! What has this world come to when a Thursday during the NBA season features more than just three games? As job-searching Waylon Smithers would announce at the race... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/01/15

Two teams that everyone should love to pick on will go toe to toe tonight. The Lakers will meet the Sixers on Tuesday night in what figures to be a matchup that should offer plenty of cheap, exploitable options at almost every position. Or, the game could be a complete mess with over 40 combined... Read More

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel & DraftKings DFS Basketball Advice for 11/24/15

Congratulations to the Philadelphia 76ers! The Sixers finally won their first game on Monday night over the Minnesota Timberwolves after blasting out of the gate in the first half.  The Sixers continue to find ways to lose. It's gotten to the point where it's not even laughable anymore. It's just plain sad. It's also upsetting for... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 11/5/15

It’s easy to fall behind in the daily fantasy game early in the season, especially when playing NBA DFS. It usually takes teams, and that means players, about three or four weeks before the “real” daily fantasy season begins. Try not to get caught up in what has or hasn’t worked this season. If you...

MLB DFS Lineup Picks & Sleepers - DraftKings Advice for the Wild Card Games

For the most part, you can pretty much throw out statistics in a one game playoff. This will be the fourth year of the new Wild Card game system. In the previous three years, home teams own a record of 3-3. Cy Young candidates have gotten torched on the road, and young hitters have entered... Read More

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 26 (Part 2)

The regular season is just about wrapped up and the fantasy season is entering its Championship Week 2 weekend. Hopefully you were able to utilize the streamers strategy en route to a 2015 banner.

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 26 (Part 1)

In a microcosm of their entire 2015 season yesterday, a fight broke out in the Washington Nationals dugout between Jonathan Papelbon and Bryce Harper. Apparently, Papelbon was upset that Harper lolly-gagged down to first on a routine pop up late in the game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Anyone can see this video on YouTube or... Read More

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 25 (Part 2)

We have our first two playoff teams for the postseason and they’re from the same division. In this last week, both the Cardinals and Pirates stamped their tickets for October. The Buccos are a long shot to win the NL Central, but they very well may be the second base team in the National League... Read More

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 25 (Part 1)

The fantasy season is winding down and real baseball is heating up. It’s always a bittersweet time of the year. Nothing beats baseball playoffs but unfortunately that coincides with eventually seeing less baseball. It’s a time of year when fantasy baseball writers get all giddy and upbeat, but then come crashing down like it is... Read More

Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 24 (Part 2)

Just last week it was evidently clear that the Houston Astros were going to run away with the AL West. Sure the Rangers were an upstart team that seemed to be flying high on pixie dust, but they were no match for Houston’s lineup top to bottom nor their bullpen. My things have changed over...

This is a unique time of the year for fantasy players. The baseball season is winding down and football is coming in hot.
