Storylines are aplenty Friday, beginning with Jimmy Butler returning back to Chicago in the midst of a stretch that has reestablished him as an elite DFS commodity. Elsewhere around the league, Washington’s much-maligned interior defense will try to figure out how to slow Joel Embiid, the Rockets will attempt to stitch enough healthy and/or eligible […]

The NBA All-Star break encapsulated six days, but managed to feel infinitely longer. Now the league returns just a day shy of its one-year anniversary of the first cancellation due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. It’s a brief two-game pocket, but with the past year in the rearview mirror, those two games feel precious. In […]

When the Houston Rockets dealt James Harden to Brooklyn earlier this season, they knew that today, March 3, 2021, would come. Harden is back in the city where he became a mega-star and the team’s decision to announce his number retirement at a future date Tuesday should make for quite the occasion. All of which […]

Take a gander at Friday’s slate. There’s nine contests in total, yet only one that features both teams having an above .500 record. Now, that’s much to do with the parody of the Eastern Conference through the first half of the year, but there’s also six East vs. West showdowns that make for unique matchups. […]

In one fell swoop, the NBA gets both the Spurs and Pacers back Wednesday night. Even on a crowded nine-game slate, those two teams standout as being the most important, albeit for different reasons. San Antonio’s depth chart has been flipped upside down by the league’s health and safety protocols. With at least five key […]

It’s unclear if the Utah Jazz will be stopped anytime soon, with their rematch against the Clippers on Friday serving as one of many rematches of recent showdowns. Much in the ilk that it’s difficult to gauge individual player performance from game-to-game during a playoff series, it’s similarly hard during the regular season. Depending upon […]

Friday the 12th doesn’t have quite the same ring -- or foreboding ominousness --  as Friday the 13th, so hopefully the calendar quirk will be kind to those fantasy managers who had to sit through the Tyler Herro debacle Thursday. An 11-game slate is on tap, delivering a schedule chock full of fresh matchups, many […]

Welcome to Wednesday, where the NBA DFS slate is always sure to throw a curveball into the mix. Across the nine games on the slate, we have the two teams most relevantly affected by players dealing with the league’s health and safety protocols (Bucks, Thunder), as well as three of the teams that have been […]

Anytime that the Brooklyn Nets pop up on the schedule, fantasy managers take notice. None of the Big 3 -- Kevin Durant, James Harden, Kyrie Irving -- is listed below as a targeted choice, but with the points total of their contest versus Toronto checking in at a gargantuan 242.5 as of Thursday night, it’s […]

There are no shortage of storylines emanating out of Wednesday’s 10-game slate, from the showdown between Luka Doncic and Trae Young -- who were traded for one another on Draft night in 2018 -- to Chris Paul’s return to New Orleans, to John Wall and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander missing Houston and OKC’s collision due to respective […]

As teams around the league attempt to either develop methods for slowing down Bradley Beal (35.4 PPG) or acquiring him, we embark on a 10-game slate Friday that is full of both early-season rematches and inter-conference showdowns.  On one end of the spectrum, we have the defensive struggle that should be the Cavaliers and Knicks […]

Wednesday’s have carved out a niche on the NBA landscape as being chock full of action, with 12 games at our disposal this time around. An early-season favorite matchup returns in Brooklyn-Atlanta to tantalize fantasy managers, but the more pertinent question is: Will we see offensive output matching their Dec. 30 (286 points) or Jan.

What would have been a massive 13-game slate Friday has been dialed back to a more manageable 11-game pocket following two postponements as the league continues to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. Those new rules about post-game handshakes and hugs being banned? Someone may want to either enforce the new rules or decide to get national […]

Wednesday is shaping up to be a rather eventful day in the United States, all capped off with a stacked slate on the hardwood. Washington may not be back in action yet as a seventh player has reportedly tested positive for COVID-19, but after a brief two-game pocket Tuesday, the 10 contests that are still […]

After what has been a whirlwind of a week for the NBA in everything from combating a global pandemic to a former league MVP being dealt in a blockbuster trade, DFS managers can finally settle in for a gourmet-quality Friday slate. Only two games (Washington/Detroit, Golden State/Phoenix) have been postponed due to COVID-19 concerns, leaving […]

For the second straight day, COVID-19 has forced changes to the DFS slate as the NBA attempts to combat the spread of the virus. Having announced additional health and safety protocols measures Tuesday, the players will have to adjust to many off-the-court habits, as well as some on-the-court ones as well. More than ever, it’s […]
