FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/3/19): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
A three game slate means the options are limited and we need to be perfect with all our picks. Since stacking is guaranteed for small slates, make sure you distribute the wealth so you aren't banking on just one game. The Rockets and Warriors are pretty much guaranteed to engage in a shoot-out, giving Steph... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/2/19): NBA DFS Lineups
Last night was a massive night in terms of DFS and fantasy basketball in general. Players posted huge stat lines, career-highs, and we even had Jusuf Nurkic post a rare 5x5. I could spend hours talking about yesterday's slate, but instead, let's look forward to the big games tonight. The Nets and the Pelicans will... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/30/18): NBA DFS Lineups
Six games total today, but DraftKings only has five on the main slate. With the Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers having the highest projected point total tonight, you do not want get totally blinded by that projection. With the Trail Blazers facing the 76ers and the Mavericks taking on the Thunder, there are more... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/29/18): NBA DFS Lineups
Nine games total today, but the Brooklyn Nets - Milwaukee Bucks game isn't on the main slate or any slate for that matter, so we'll skip over what could be one of the better games tonight. It won't be the highest scoring game like the Pelicans-Rockets should be, but do be wary of the idea... Read More
Centers Went From Rare To Everywhere
Late-December and early-January is right about the time when players mysteriously suffer from an un-curable disease called "rest." It's common and floods every teams locker room at some point. Luckily it only lasts one game, usually on the front or back end of back-to-back games. Teams are starting to totally scrap game plans because of... Read More
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (12/27/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
We have a more relaxed, 5-game slate after an action-packed last two days of basketball. After the way the Lakers capped off their Christmas-day win over the Warriors, going against the Kings makes it hard not to stack the entire team. To make things better, the Kings are coming off a loss to the Clippers... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/26/18): NBA DFS Lineups
Initially, I wrote a FanDuel article when it was supposed to be DraftKings. Luckily, the picks I had planned didn't change, but the prices did. I apologize and the this article has been updated accordingly. Mostly, I apologize to Tom Vecchio, who puts out dynamite content on Wednesdays, and whose clicks I probably stole...my bad....

Let's Get Monte Morris Ownership Levels Rightfully Above 50%
If only we had a cover picture of Monte Morris...Anyway, I'll be sure to spread the knowledge around to the rest of the league as well, but there have only been 20-odd players that have been more valuable than Monte Morris over the past two weeks. With all the injuries and the talent the Nuggets... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/23/18): NBA DFS Lineups
With nine games on the slate, I can already tell you that the Pelicans-Kings will be one of the higher scoring contests. I'm also eyeing the Celtics-Hornets game for assured value, but I will be mostly focusing on three games, NOP @ SAC, CHA @ BOS, and LAC @ GS. The Pelicans should have no... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/22/18): NBA DFS Lineups
With six games on the main slate, you really don't need all that much value tonight. You will need that one sleeper to come in clutch, but other than that, go with the safer, mid-tier priced options. Since Chris Paul is out, look for Brandon Knight to see a ton of minutes tonight. Other than... Read More
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (12/20/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
There shouldn't be much question about strategy tonight. With only two games, you already know the players you will be rostering. There is no REAL reason to pursue any risky picks with so few players available, so just go after players like Danilo Gallinari, Tobias Harris, and P.J. Tucker. You don't need to go cheap...

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/19/18): NBA DFS Lineups
With 24 teams playing tonight, it's impressive how both Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday still remain at the top of the DFS mountain. Both need to be played tonight and there really shouldn't be much question about it. The Bucks rank in the top 10 against opposing guards, but since they are in the bottom... Read More

Not only is this article late, but half-way through my writing of it, it got deleted. So excuse my angry-ish tone. Honestly, it probably won't be much different from how I normally write. That being said, I am going to be even shorter than I was in my previous article, excuse the boldness. If you... Read More
Waiver Wire Adds or Injury Report? (Week 9)
Injuries and rest are starting to open up minutes for some reserves, so let's recap some of the injuries that recently happened and who will be returning soon. One of the more important losses this season was Will Barton, who should be coming back within the next month. He allowed players like Malik Beasley, Torrey... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/16/18): NBA DFS Lineups
Today is a weird day of basketball. With only four games on the main slate, I'll be sure to throw in some picks for the early game at the end of the intro. Although the Nuggets-Raptors game is not projected to be the highest-scoring, it should be the most competitive with the major players doing... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/15/18): NBA DFS Lineups
With six games on the main slate, we really get to test our accuracy. On night's with massive slates, sometimes luck is our best attribute. With smaller slates you need to stack high scoring games and be perfect with value picks, if you even go that far. With 5-8 game slates, you need the perfect... Read More
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (12/13/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
Wednesday had a massive slate with came with some serious stat lines. The only team that is playing on the second night of a back-to-back is the Dallas Mavericks so feel free to look there for some value and upside from the reserves like J.J. Barea and Wesley Matthews. Matthews did play 27 minutes in... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/12/18): NBA DFS Lineups
After yesterday's dinky, three game slate, we get the chance to really flex our options with 11 games on on Wednesday's schedule. Out of all 11, only three are out-of-conference games so make sure you are targeting the more competitive matchups tonight. The Grizzlies and Trail Blazers should be close, especially seeing how Portland is... Read More
Have You Really Not Picked Up Alec Burks Yet?
The title says it all. As the trade deadline nears, more and more players will find new homes, but the biggest two names to move are Alec Burks and Kyle Korver. Kyle Korver remains irrelevant in most leagues, but Burks has exploded into must-own territory. With players like Victor Oladipo and Devin Booker out with... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/9/18): NBA DFS Lineups
We aren't messing around today with some serious rivalry games. They may not have a ton of history, but both the Raptors and Bucks are fighting for a top spot in the East these games could absolutely determine a tiebreaker. While the Raptors do have the talent to make this game high-scoring and competitive, I... Read More

Another big night in the NBA and there will be plenty of superstars to choose from. With 10 games on the slate, Nikola Jokic and LeBron James and at the top of my list for must-plays.

After yesterday, we get a chance to relax with a horrible three-game slate. I'm not joking, tonight's slate is just downright ugly. I won't get the chance to bore you with game analysis because truthfully, everyone knows what's happening tonight. The Celtics are beating the Knicks, the Trail Blazers are beating the Suns, and the... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/5/18): NBA DFS Lineups
This is going to be one of our most competitive nights this season. Ten games on the slate and because each one has so much potential, I'll briefly go over each game starting with the Cavaliers and Warriors. This game is pretty clearly the one to skip out on. You could go Steph Curry or... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/2/18): NBA DFS Lineups
With six games total and four on DraftKings main slate, we don't really have many choices. Bigs are far and few between tonight so make sure you find those one or two value plays and combine it with certain consistency. There are not that many overpriced superstars so look for Damian Lillard and Joel Embiid... Read More
NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds (Week 7)
I hope you guys are enjoying this season as much as I am. After being seven weeks in, we can really see how well our drafting paid off. Many of you are scrambling to help fills gaps left by injuries while others are just looking for anything to help stop the bleeding. Over the past... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/1/18): NBA DFS Lineups
Out of the six games being played today, half the teams are on the second half of a back-to-back. The Detroit Pistons, Brooklyn Nets, Washington Wizards, Chicago Bulls, Houston Rockets, and Boston Celtics will all be playing again tonight, but none were in that close of games yesterday. Not that fatigue won't be a major... Read More
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (11/29/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
I know you all are already jumping at this three-game slate tonight with only the Clippers playing two nights in a row. The Clippers didn't shoot particularly well against the Suns Wednesday night, but they took them out of the game early, and most of the starters outside from Tobias Harris didn't play a full... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (11/28/18): NBA DFS Lineups
A fantastic 10-game slate tonight with Pelicans-Wizards dominating the early point predictions. That game has stack-ability all over the place so make sure you are looking for updates or any potential injury alerts. Kemba Walker, Ben Simmons, James Harden, LaMarcus Aldridge, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Paul George, C.J. McCollum, and Devin Booker are just a few players... Read More
NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds (Week 6)
Now that we are in week six, the big problem for most players is the lack of bigs available on the wire. In most of my leagues, the wire is dry of new centers to see coming, meaning you might have to look for a player like Taj Gibson or Mike Muscala to fill any... Read More
