NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/25/16): FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

I'm not normally too enthusiastic about Thursday DFS slates, but the six gamer we have on deck tonight is really appealing. Four of the contests have over/unders set higher than 217 - which is pretty remarkable. The only game I'm going to actively avoid is the San Antonio - Utah game, which should be a... Read More

NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/24/16): FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

I hope everyone is as starving for a big Wednesday night of action as I am. I thought the All-Star break would be a nice, well, break, but then I remembered how long the NBA's break is compared to the MLB and regretted ever wishing for a few days off from it all. Wednesday's slate... Read More

Karl-Anthony Towns (C, MIN) - FanDuel Tournament Play on 2/10/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs TOR, $8,700 ANALYSIS: There are actually quite a few centers I'm intrigued with this evening, but KAT is going to be my guy in tournament play. He's been playing excellent, well-rounded basketball and has a few 50+ and nearly-50 fantasy point games in the past few weeks because of it. With so many... Read More

Myles Turner (PF, IND) - Strong FanDuel Play on 2/10/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs CHA, $5,700 ANALYSIS: With his recent play, Turner is looking like he could be the steal of the lottery in the 2015 NBA Draft, save for that Kristaps Porzingis guy. Over his last 10 games, he's exceeded value nine times, and by an average of more than seven points per contest. Even better,... Read More

Stanley Johnson (SF, DET) - Underused FanDuel Play on 2/10/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs DEN, $4,900 ANALYSIS: After a few hot games, Johnson threw up a dud his last time out, which I'm hoping keeps his ownership percentage below 20% this evening. The thing I love about StanJohn is that even on nights his fantasy production isn't great, he never cheats himself of opportunity. In other words,... Read More

E'Twaun Moore (SG, CHI) - FanDuel Upside Play on 2/10/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ATL, $4,200 ANALYSIS: I'm pretty underwhelmed by the options at shooting guard tonight, especially the pricier options, and with that in mind I'm looking for cheaper options with solid minutes and opportunity. Mr. Moore fits that description this evening, and he's currently playing some of the best basketball of his career. He's exceeded... Read More

Cory Joseph (PG, TOR) - Cheap FanDuel Play on 2/10/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at MIN, $4,000 ANALYSIS: If you need salary relief at the point, Joseph is your guy on Wednesday. He draws a good matchup against the Timberwolves and since he comes off the bench, he likely wont have to deal with the pesky hands and defense of Ricky Rubio. Like Irving, Joseph too has exceeded... Read More

Kyrie Irving (PG, CLE) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 2/10/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs LAL, $7,600 ANALYSIS: There's a lot to like about Kyrie Irving this evening, and if his recent play is indicative of anything, he's in for a big time performance. Over the Cavaliers' last 10 games, Irving has exceeded value 80% of the time, and by an average of over seven points per contest.... Read More

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 2/10/16

We've got ourselves a 12-game Wednesday. What a damn treat that is. Options galore. The fact that we've got 24 teams in action means there are options. The fact that only the Spurs, Celtics, Jazz, Rockets, and Warriors on the back end of a back-to-back means we've really, really got options. As for Vegas insights, the... Read More

Jahlil Okafor (C, PHI) - FanDuel Cash Game Play On 2/3/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ATL, $6,400 ANALYSIS: He hasn't become the GPP-type player I was hoping he would be, but Okafor has been productive and efficient in 2016. At this price, and with such a high usage rate, I think he's a fine cash game option this evening. I'm not big into looking at past performance in... Read More

Thaddeus Young (PF, BKN) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 2/3/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs IND, $6,300 ANALYSIS: Anytime you can get Young in the ballpark of 6,500 (or less in this case), he's a guy you have to consider. His high rebounding numbers create such a nice fantasy point floor, and if the shots are falling, he can put up the type of numbers to help you take... Read More

Robert Covington (SF, PHI) - Cheap FanDuel Play on 2/3/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ATL, $5,100 ANALYSIS: It appears Mr. Covington has finally carved out a solid role in this Sixers offense, and as a result, he's producing relatively gaudy stat lines for someone priced under $6k.  In his last 10 games, he's exceeded value nine times and by an average of 8.81 points. The fact that... Read More

Monta Ellis (SG, IND) - FanDuel Value Play on 2/3/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at BKN, $6,900 ANALYSIS: Ellis has nearly put up Westbrook-like fantasy point totals over the last week, twice eclipsing the 50 point total in hist last three games. Even with the increased production and salary bump, I really like his chances to far exceed his price implied point total tonight against the Nets' abysmal... Read More

Russell Westbrook (PG, OKC) - Elite FanDuel Play on 2/3/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ORL, $10,900 ANALYSIS: To say that Russ has been a monster these last few contests would be a gross understatement. His DFS price tag has risen $500 in the past 10 days, but it still hasn't caught up to his production. In that same stretch, Westbrook has averaged 6.22 points over his salary implied projections.... Read More

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 2/3/16

After a one week hiatus, we're back to double digit game action with 11 games on the docket. Despite 22 teams playing tonight, just Miami, Boston and Minnesota are on the back end of a back to back. As of this writing, there are quite a few games without spreads or even over/unders listed, but of... Read More

Andre Drummond (C, DET) - Strong FanDuel Play on 1/27/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs PHI, $8,200 ANALYSIS: I expect Drummond to benefit from a faster pace of play this evening. Making the matchup even more appealing is the fact that Jahlil Okafor is out tonight, and while he isn't a great defender to begin with, he's still poses a threat physically. Without him, I think the Sixers... Read More

LaMarcus Aldridge (PF, SA) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 1/27/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs HOU, $6,600 ANALYSIS: After a few disappointing individual performances and a blowout loss to the Warriors, I'm expecting LMA and the Spurs to play with a chip on their shoulders tonight against their in-state rival Rockets. Of course, that's just a hunch, and I wouldn't give you a selection based on hunch alone. Insights... Read More

Kawhi Leonard (SF, SA) - Top FanDuel SF Option on 1/27/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs HOU, $7,500 ANALYSIS: At this price tag, Kawhi is a real bargain and all things considered, I think he's far and away the best option at small forward tonight. The game has a much higher projected total than what we're accustomed to seeing in Spurs games, and Kawhi should benefit from the fast... Read More

Kent Bazemore (SG, ATL) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/27/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs LAC, $5,200 ANALYSIS: Never Baze-less when the opportunity is ripe to Bazemore. Kent hasn't put up any gaudy stat lines recently, but he has been pretty consistent in terms of production, exceeding value in three of his last four outings. His price has dropped $700 over the past 10 days, and with the... Read More

Reggie Jackson (PG, DET) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 1/27/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs PHI, $7,000 ANALYSIS: Reggie is criminally under-priced this evening and he has a great matchup to boot. While this isn't one of the games I mentioned targeting because of the high expected point total, the over/under in this one is 203, which is a pretty high number for a Detroit game. Jackson and his... Read More

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/27/16

An unusually light NBA Wednesday, with just eight games on the docket this evening. Of the 16 teams in action, five teams - the Clippers, Suns, 76ers, Thunder and the Mavericks - are on the back end of a back-to-back and all happen to be on the road. Be wary of tired legs, last-minute scratches... Read More

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/20/16

The 11-game Wednesday slate begins at 7:00 EST, with Sixers at Magic and Heat at Wizards kicking things off tonight. As of this writing, Vegas is projecting quite a few games to be relatively high scoring, which, by my definition, applies to any game with an over/under at 205 or higher. The most attractive games... Read More

Jonas Valanciunas (C, TOR) - FanDuel Upside Play on 1/20/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs BOS, $6,100 ANALYSIS: Relatively speaking, Valanciunas has been somewhat of a monster lately, totaling 33 fantasy points or more in three of his last five games, despite never eclipsing 30 minutes in those contests. He's exceeded his price implied value in eight of his last 1o games, by an impressive margin of 5.29... Read More

Dirk Nowitzki (PF, DAL) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 1/20/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs MIN, $7,100 ANALYSIS: A rested Dirk is a strong Dirk, and that's what we have on our hands tonight. Nowitzki has exceed his price implied value in seven of his last 10 games, by an impressive average of 3.11 points over. The big veteran has an outstanding matchup tonight against the Timberwolves, as... Read More

Tobias Harris (SF, ORL) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/20/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at PHI, $5,600 ANALYSIS: "There are actually a lot of decent, serviceable options at small forward tonight" - a thought I had earlier. It's a thought I don't think I've had before. With guys like Lebron, Durant and Carmelo playing tonight, there's quite a bit of starpower, so that thought may not be surprising.... Read More

James Harden (SG, HOU) - Safe FanDuel Play on 1/20/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs DET, $9,300 ANALYSIS: The drop in salary is warranted, but in the last 10 days, we've seen Harden's salary go from $10,500 all the way down to $9,300. That's quite a bargain. He has been a disappointment lately in terms of fantasy production, but the opportunity is always there for The Beard, and... Read More

Damian Lillard (PG, POR) - Strong FanDuel Play on 1/20/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ATL, $8,800 ANALYSIS: Despite exceeding value in 6 of his last 10 games, Lillard has an extremely appealing pricetag this evening, a pricetag that has dropped $600 in total since the start of the month. Any time you can find a guy of Lillard's skill priced under 9K, the matchup is worth investigating,... Read More

DeMarcus Cousins (C, SAC) - Top Option on FanDuel for 1/13/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs NO, $10,600 ANALYSIS: DMC has been on fire over the past week, exceeding value in his last five games, four times eclipsing 50 fantasy points and twice eclipsing 60. On a night where there are lots of value plays at other positions and the options at center don't look to appealing - whether... Read More

Cody Zeller (PF, CHA) - Value Play on FanDuel for 1/13/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs CHR, $4,900 ANALYSIS: While my projection models still project Zeller to have a pretty low floor (6-8 fantasy points), his production has been steady recently and more importantly for tonight, he draws a nice matchup. In his last eight games, Zeller has only played less than 28 minutes once, and that was in... Read More

Andrew Wiggins (SF, MIN) - FanDuel Tournament Play on 1/13/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at HOU, $6,500 ANALYSIS: Due to the facts that his fantasy point totals can be up and down and he (normally) relies heavily on hitting shots to score on FanDuel, I'm not confident in Wiggins enough to play him in cash tonight. That said, I love the price tag and the potential for a... Read More
