DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (1/26/17): NBA DFS Advice

Thursday brings us a short, four-game slate with just one player (Russell Westbrook) above $10k.

As for the rest of the player pool, there is a lot of talent to be had in the […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (1/19/17): NBA DFS Advice

What Thursday’s five-game slate lacks in star-power — only LeBron James, Karl-Anthony Towns and John Wall are above $9,000 — it makes up for in high-upside value plays. The slate features two of the worst defensive teams in the NBA, the Denver Nuggets and the Phoenix Suns, going against two of the strongest offensive squads, […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (1/18/17): NBA DFS Advice

Wednesday’s massive, nine-game slate is headlined by the second meeting between the Thunder and the Warriors. Russell Westbrook ($12,100), Kevin Durant ($9,900) and Stephen Curry ($9,000) are all in line to put up monster numbers in the emotion-filled clash.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (1/12/17): NBA DFS Advice

Thursday’s slate offers an afternoon game and five night games.

[…]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (1/5/16): NBA DFS Advice

Thursday night’s eight-game slate is headlined by Russell Westbrook vs. James Harden Pt. 3, but there is a ton of talent to go around elsewhere. C.J. McCollum has been tearing it up with Damian Lillard sidelined, but he has risen up to $9,000, so he is not as appealing as he had been just a […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/22/16): NBA DFS Advice

Another small Thursday slate means limited options beyond the elite players. Hassan Whiteside ($9,200) is essentially a lock to terrorize the Lakers, so if you are able to fit him into your lineup, by all means do so. Additionally, Stephen Curry ($8,100) and Kevin Durant ($9,900) are likely to torch the hapless Nets, but in […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/15/16): NBA DFS Advice

Thursday's five-game slate promises several high-scoring affairs, as eight of the 10 teams scheduled to play fall in the bottom half in opponent's points per game.
