Daily Fantasy NBA Lineup Picks for FanDuel (1/18/17) - DFS Basketball Advice

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (1/8/16): NBA DFS Advice

This is arguably the worst possible scenario DraftKings could come up with. There are eight games tonight, but they have been split into two four games slates. I have opted to use players from each slate, so you have enough options regardless of what slate you are looking to play tonight. In this article, I […]


DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (1/7/16): NBA DFS Advice

Isaiah Thomas and Amir Johnson were recommended yesterday, and they both find themselves on the list again tonight. Who would have guessed that Johnson could have outscored Thomas last night? I wouldn't expect that again tonight, but you can read why I like them both again tonight below. In this article, I will be providing […]


DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (1/6/16): NBA DFS Advice

The NBA seems to have taken away the big and small slates. They have now had between six and eight games for quite some time, and we get another eight game slate tonight. That leaves us with a few good options, but very few value plays at this point. In this article, I will be […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/30/16): NBA DFS Advice

We return to the big slate for Friday night. There are nine games, which feature a few elite options to go along with quite a few mid-priced and value plays. It should be easy to construct any type of lineup you'd like on this slate because of the amount of available players. In this article, […]

UFC 207: MMA Main Card Predictions and DFS Picks

MMA has one of the best sweats in DFS. Two fighters compete at a time with only one coming out as the winner. It's the best feeling in the world when you are watching the main event of a show and know you need a first round knockout to win the entire tournament. And nothing […]


DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/25/16): NBA DFS Advice

There wasn't a slate yesterday, but we have games throughout the day to keep us business during Christmas. There are plenty of great options, but it's somewhat tough to find safe, cheap players at this point. At least we can have some fun during the holidays. Happy holidays! In this article, I will be providing […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/23/16): NBA DFS Advice

We have a huge slate tonight, as the NBA is preparing for Christmas. That means we have a ton of great options for varying price tags. It's always interesting to see whether people like to use a scrubs and stars lineup or a lineup filled with moderately priced players. Both options seem feasible tonight. In […]


FanDuel Daily Fantasy Football Lineup Picks (Week 16): NFL DFS Advice

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/18/16): NBA DFS Advice

Sunday is the day for football, but we have a basketball slate that can be played tonight. That means we need some recommendations, right!? Keep in mind, it's a bit of a short slate, which means some guys that are generally tournament only options can also be used in cash games tonight. In this article, […]


DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/17/16): NBA DFS Advice

After a huge Friday slate, we have to settle for a smaller Saturday slate. There is one extra game if you're looking to play with the early game, but I would recommend avoiding that, as Russell Westbrook hasn't been playing well enough to use, but it's only a matter of time before he goes off […]


UFC on Fox 22: MMA Main Card Predictions and DFS Picks

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

There are all types of great plays on this slate, as there are double digit games. We have multiple elite options to go along with mid-priced players and salary relief plays, as well. More options will continue to come out as injuries are announced, and tonight should be a fun, high scoring slate. In this […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/11/16): NBA DFS Advice

After two huge slates, the NBA schedule settles down tonight. We only get a six game slate, which is more than enough to play. There aren't as many great options as the bigger slates, but there are good values plays to combine with solid mid- and high-priced options. In this article, I will be providing […]


DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/10/16): NBA DFS Advice

There was a big slate last night, and we are rewarded with another huge slate tonight. There are a healthy amount of salary relief options to go with elite plays, which makes for some great lineups. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 12/10/16. […]


DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/09/16): NBA DFS Advice

Russell Westbrook plays tonight. What does that mean? Play him!

In this article, I will be providing you […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/04/16): NBA DFS Advice

There were huge slates for two straight nights, and now we're going to have to settle for a smaller slate tonight. That's fine, though, right!? Today is football! In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 12/04/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from some […]


DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/03/16): NBA DFS Advice

It's a bit surprising that we have such a large slate tonight after a huge slate on Friday. Regardless, it's always a great time when there are plenty of options to choose from, and that is the case tonight. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for […]


DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/02/16): NBA DFS Advice

We get a huge slate tonight, as we generally do on Friday's. That means there are a ton of elite options to go along with some bottom of the barrel type of players, as well. Some of the best lineups take the mid-priced players, who have the ability to score like elite guys, which is […]
