NFL DFS Stacks for Super Bowl LX: Correlations for Seattle and New England

The big game is nearly upon us, and with it comes the biggest single-game DFS slate of the year. This is the fourth year in a row that I have taken on the task of building out a full chart of correlations for both teams, but it certainly paid dividends last season, as I had […]

NBA Best Bets: Top Player Props & Novig Market Picks (Tuesday, 2/3/26)

After a pretty light Monday night slate, we're blessed with 10 games in the Association tonight. The trade rumors are beginning to ramp up ahead of the Thursday afternoon deadline (please don't let the Cavs trade for Harden), but we still haven't seen many deals done. Perhaps it will pick up in the final hours, […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 16: 2/2-2/8

Week 16 is the last full week before the All-Star break and also includes the NBA trade deadline on Thursday. It should be a pretty eventful week in the NBA, with a lot of rumors still floating around about players who could be on the move. Last week, I wrote about some sneaky stashes for […]

Today's NBA Picks: Top Player Props, Odds & Best Bets (Sunday 2/1/26)

We rarely get a 10-game NBA slate on a Sunday. But with the NFL taking a week off before the Super Bowl, the NBA takes center stage today with some nationally-televised games. The Bucks and Celtics square off on ESPN at 3:30 PM EST, while we get a double-header on Peacock with the Lakers-Knicks game […]

The Cut List: Players to Drop or Hold in Fantasy Basketball - Week 15

Welcome back to this week's edition of the fantasy basketball cut list! We are getting to the point of the year where we are running into some of the same players for the second time. We are also starting to stack up injured players either on the cut list or the "hot seat," as managers […]

Tonight brings us nine NBA games, and I am pretty pumped to attack this slate from a betting perspective. There are a bunch of really good game environments for offense, and I am going to continue to be aggressive with NBA prop bet wagers tonight. Lately, I have been running pretty hot, so I hope […]

Fantasy Basketball League Winners: Second-Half Stashes

We are closing in on the NBA trade deadline, which is next Thursday, February 5th. Every year, there are players rumored to be dealt who aren't, and then a few surprise moves are made instead. The deadline comes one week ahead of the All-Star break, which takes place about two-thirds of the way through the […]

And then there were four! We are down to the semifinal round of the NFL playoffs, and we have two fantastic matchups on tap for Sunday. The NFC has two juggernauts facing each other for the third time this year, with the winner of the rubber match heading to the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, the AFC […]

We continue with a very balanced schedule this week, with the smallest slate on Saturday (six games) and the largest on Sunday (10 games). We had more impactful injuries to superstars this week, with Ja Morant, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Devin Booker all going down recently. Working the wire has never been more important! As a […]

The Fantasy Basketball Cut List: Players to Drop or Hold - Week 14

Another week has passed, and our patience with injured and underperforming players continues to dwindle. For many managers, the fantasy basketball playoffs will start in about a month, and I know a lot of leagues have moved their playoffs weeks up in recent years to avoid the "Silly Season" as much as possible. As the […]


NBA Best Bets and Player Props for Novig (Wednesday, 1/21/26)

We are entering dangerous waters today. It's the day after a sweep, as I went 7-0 on my NBA prop bets last night, and I am probably feeling a bit confident in my picks today. I am ready to be humbled, but still optimistic about my chances as I have spent the first few hours […]

Fantasy Basketball Breakouts or Fake Outs? Onyeka Okongwu, Kyshawn George, Peyton Watson, More

We've reached a pivotal point in the fantasy basketball season, where we must evaluate our rosters and ask some crucial questions. How do we evaluate the players on our roster and their current performance? Is it reasonable to expect them to play better or worse going forward? It's a crucial time in the season as […]

It's an absolute "streamers' dream" this week as we have no fewer than six (and no more than nine) games every day in Week 13. We do have some teams on two-game weeks to avoid, and one team with the coveted five-game week as well. As a reminder, I have been using the 25% rostered […]

The Fantasy Basketball Cut List - Who to Drop or Hold After Week 11

As injuries continue to pile up across the league, managing a fantasy basketball roster has become increasingly more difficult this season, and tough decisions have to be made. Most leagues only allow two or three IL spots for injured players, so managers have to choose wisely as to which injured players they hold and which […]
