Larry Nance Jr. (PF, LAL) - Value Play on DraftKings 1/3

Larry Nance Jr. (vs PHO, $4,100) Nance Jr. is the kind of guy that'll do just enough, in his average of 20.8 minutes a night, to positively shake a lineup for his low price. He's coming off a season high 14 rebounds, and has posted 20+ fantasy points in three of his last four, including a... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/3/16

Sunday's slate consists of five games, all of which should be competitive. Teams face off against each other that play with similar styles or that both give up a ton of points a night, resulting in, hopefully, big fantasy nights for multiple players. This lineup is very matchup-driven, but not necessarily focusing around players that can... Read More

LeBron James (SF, CLE) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 12/18

LeBron James (at PHO, $9,800) The Cavaliers were sizzling, on a six game winning streak, and then they ran into the defending champions in a rematch of last year's NBA Finals. Regardless of the Cavs' two game losing streak, I'm a huge fan of King James in a matchup versus the Bledsoe-less Phoenix Suns. We can ignore... Read More

Evan Fournier (SG, ORL) and Nikola Vucevic (C, ORL) - Stack on DraftKings 12/28

Evan Fournier (vs NO, $5,200) Fournier has scored in double-digits in four straight games and will likely continue that streak against a Pelicans team battling the Lakers and Kings for sole ownership of the league's worst defense. Fournier has picked up over 30 fantasy points in three of his last four, a steal in six straight,... Read More

Ish Smith (PG, PHI) - Value Play on DraftKings 12/28

Ish Smith (at UTA, $4,800) A change of scenery could do wonders for a player. Especially for one who has been in a slump on a slumping team. Not that the relocation is to a winning team, but in Smith's first game with the Philadelphia 76ers, the point guard played 31 minutes, scoring 14 points,... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/28/15

The name of the game is Hot Streak. Tonight's lineup features players that have put together a string of production, along with those welcoming new opportunities stemming from injuries, and one point guard involved in the first "big" trade of the season, now playing in the city of Brotherly Love. Check out my Daily NBA... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/27/15

There are only four games to pick from on Sunday's small card. It's as important to be mindful of a player's price as well as their matchup, simply because it's hard to produce a well-rounded team when you break the bank on only one player. When there are only a few games to select players... Read More

Running Back Outlooks: Tim Hightower, James Starks, Cameron Artis-Payne

Injuries have plagued NFL locker rooms and fantasy lineups all season. Why should championship week be any different? Luckily, this is the last time I will write about one of these running back situations this season, while two others look to produce again in their newly acquired starting roles. According to New Orleans Times-Picayune, Drew... Read More

Fantasy Stock Up: Rueben Randle, Dwayne Harris, Will Tye

With the suspension to Odell Beckham Jr. in effect for Sunday, the door of opportunity swings wide open for several other players on New York. The Giants desperately cling to their playoff hopes and enter a must-win against the Minnesota Vikings. But can any of the three listed below step up in OBJ's absence, enough... Read More

Jeremy Lin (PG, CHA) - Value Play on DraftKings 12/21

Jeremy Lin (at HOU, $5,200) Has Linsanity swept through Charlotte? Not exactly, but Lin has taken advantage of injuries, exploding onto scoresheets the past two contests, posting 50.75 and 32.5 fantasy points. Lin's price has skyrocketed, increasing by $1,000 in only two games. With P.J. Hairston now designated to a predominately defensive role for the Hornets,... Read More

Blake Griffin (PF, LAC) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 12/21

Blake Griffin (vs OKC, $8,900) Griffin's price has dropped down to earth a bit. Good. Makes it easier to scoop him up. Griffin has teetered around and has exceeded the 40 fantasy point mark in nine straight games. The Clippers against the Thunder should be a battle, a possible playoff preview, that is likely to be... Read More

Carmelo Anthony (SF, NYK) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 12/21

Carmelo Anthony (vs ORL, $8,400) It seems like 'Melo is finally finding his stroke. Until he proves otherwise, he is as smart of a fantasy pick as any. He has shot over 60% from the field in two of his last four games, and has been surprisingly spreading stats across the board. Normally an unlikely candidate... Read More

Garrett Temple (SG, WAS) and Jared Dudley (SF, WAS) - Value Stack on DraftKings 12/21

Garrett Temple (vs SAC, $4,000) Despite the revolving door of starting shooting guards in Washington since Bradley Beal went down, Temple may have now solidified his spot in the starting five with his performance Saturday night. In 35 minutes against the Hornets, Temple dropped 21 points, five rebounds, three assists, and two steals. If he continues... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/21/15

It's important to not only focus on the lopsided matchups but also contests consisting of two great teams or two great players that'll likely guard each other. Anything that spells high scoring is gravitating in daily fantasy. If only every game went into multiple overtimes. Today's lineup features a point guard reclaiming fame away from... Read More

Kent Bazemore (SF, ATL) - Value Play on DraftKings 12/20

Kent Bazemore (at ORL, $5,700) Bazemore has been in the starting lineup the past three nights, and has been producing in his spot-starts. Thabo Sefolosha is battling a lingering ankle injury and until he's back to 100%, Bazemore will be slotted into the starting five. With Jeff Teague and Kyle Korver struggling from the field, Bazemore can swoop... Read More

Jrue Holiday (PG, NO) and Ryan Anderson (PF, NO) - Stack on DraftKings 12/20

Jrue Holiday (at DEN, $5,100) With Christmas only five days away, it's only fitting that Holiday is on this list. (That's the last seasonal reference, I promise) Holiday has excelled in his new role coming off the bench, and has been exceptionally valuable of late for his cheap price. Holiday has posted 30+ fantasy points... Read More

DeMarcus Cousins (PF, SAC) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 12/20

DeMarcus Cousins (at TOR, $10,200) I get it. He's really expensive, which is troublesome considering he hasn't exactly been posting 50-60+ fantasy points a night; production you want and hope for from a guy in the five digit range. But Cousins is too good to not at least consider each night. He's coming off five straight double-doubles... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 12/20/15

Let's just stay with the players that keep rising, those that'll soon be too hot to touch. This is more of a recent-performance-based lineup, rather than my normal matchup-based approach. It's difficult to ignore inexpensive production. Tonight's lineup features an array of affordable players, lately responsible for giving bang to the buck, and one bad, bad... Read More

Fantasy Stock Down: Darren McFadden, Isaiah Crowell, Rashad Jennings

The three running backs listed below head into the weekend facing three of the toughest run defenses in the NFL. All three have seen a boost in their performance and workload of late but will have a difficult time turning their boost into anything productive and consistent. Darren McFadden and the Dallas Cowboys host the surging New... Read More

Fantasy Stock Up: Chris Ivory, Denard Robinson, Giovani Bernard

The three running backs below all head into a favorable matchup Saturday and Sunday, and look to take advantage of defensive openings and injuries. Chris Ivory and the New York Jets head to Dallas on Saturday night, in another must-win. The Cowboys have pretty much tapped out, weeks ago, but still field one of the... Read More

Fantasy Stock Up: Brandon Bolden, James White

The injury bug has enjoyed sweeping through the NFL and specifically New England this season. LaGarrette Blount joins a long list of fantasy-point-producers that will now be sidelined for the remainder of the season, while Brandon Bolden and James White join another list of those with sudden increased fantasy value and emergent opportunities. Bolden will step in... Read More

Running Back Outlook: Bryce Brown, Christine Michael, Fred Jackson

First it was Marshawn Lynch. An injured abdomen. Likely out for the season. Then, Thomas Rawls. Rushed for over 200 yards in one game, but fractured his ankle three weeks later. Out for the season as well. DuJuan Harris was supposed to get the call, but was subsequently released by the Seahawks after a relief... Read More

Keshawn Martin (WR, NE) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Keep on the waiver wire Owned In: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: The New England Patriots always find a way. Dropping two in a row, falling out of first place overall in the AFC, the Patriots rebounded last week against the Houston Texans and now find themselves back in control of obtaining a... Read More

Theo Riddick (RB, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: Flex option in PPR leagues Owned In: 32% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Riddick has been out-carried and out-rushed by both Joique Bell and Ameer Abdullah. He is actually used the least on Detroit rushing plays, but Riddick is the only Lions running back worth a look and a potential start in fantasy lineups. On the season,... Read More

Bilal Powell (RB, NYJ) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: FLEX-play in 12+ team PPR leagues Owned In: 28% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Bilal Powell has suddenly become an integral part of the surging New York Jets offense. He is coming off his best two fantasy weeks and now heads into another likable matchup against the Dallas Cowboys Saturday night. According to Yahoo! Sports, the... Read More

Fozzy Whittaker (RB, CAR) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Baller Move: Handcuff to Jonathan Stewart and Cameron Artis-Payne Owned In: 2% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: In relief of the rested Jonathan Stewart last week, Whittaker carried the ball eight times for 34 yards and a touchdown in a blowout win against the Atlanta Falcons. With a performance like that in shortened playing time, it... Read More

Cameron Artis-Payne (RB, CAR) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: Handcuff to Jonathan Stewart, stash away Owned In: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: 16-0 is definitely on everyone's mind in Carolina, but Panthers coach Ron Rivera doesn't only want to win. He wants his team to be healthy for a playoff run. According to ESPN.com, the Panthers are likely to give starting running... Read More

John Wall (PG, WAS) - DraftKings Big Money Play for 12/14

Wall has been straight fire of late. He's scored 26 points in four straight games, and has picked up three consecutive double-doubles. Wall has also dropped over 25 points in seven of his last eight games, on a Wizards team that has underachieved all season. Now with Bradley Beal set to miss an extended amount of... Read More
