NBA DFS: Top Daily Fantasy Expert Picks for DraftKings, FanDuel (11/28/25)

After a day off for the Thanksgiving holiday, the NBA returns tonight with 11 games in the final round of group play for the NBA Emirates Cup. While FanDuel has included all 11 games on one slate, DraftKings decided to split the slate in half with a six-gamer tipping off at 7:30 PM and another […]

Welcome to a special Thanksgiving edition of the running back matchups to target! We have three pretty compelling matchups on Thursday, and your DFS lineups aren't going to get into the green without having the right running backs in them, that's for sure! The primary focus of this piece is for NFL DFS; however, these […]

Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday NFL Player Props: Expert Prop Picks and Anytime Touchdown Bets (2025)

It's long been a tradition to have both Dallas and Detroit host home games on Thanksgiving, but at some point (how long ago I cannot recall), the NFL decided to add a third game to the schedule. Only recently have they added an afternoon game on Black Friday, so that we have yet another island […]

NBA DFS: Top Daily Fantasy Expert Picks for DraftKings, FanDuel (11/26/25)

It's a little bit of a muted NBA DFS slate tonight compared to most Wednesdays. We have an 8-game slate on both sites on this Thanksgiving Eve, but due to the matchups and some injuries, we have less star power than usual. Victor Wembanyama continues to sit out for the Spurs, and Kevin Durant will […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 6 (2025): 11/24-11/30

We get a bit of an abbreviated schedule this week with only two games on Tuesday and an entire day off on Thursday for Thanksgiving. I know the league usually takes Thanksgiving off, but what do they expect us to do all day - watch football? If the NFL can start playing games on Christmas […]

The Fantasy Basketball Cut List - Who to Drop or Hold After Week 4

Welcome back to this week's edition of the Fantasy Basketball Cut List.

This week, we will review our first month of cut […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 5 (2025): 11/17-11/23

As the first month of the NBA season comes to a close this week, we are seeing the return of some players who have been sitting out since the season began (like Coby White), while other troublesome injuries to superstars continue to linger (Joel Embiid, Anthony Davis, Jalen Green). Young players are emerging, including an […]

We have what could be, in my opinion, the best collection of games we've seen all season in Week 11. Two AFC North battles, a Bills-Bucs showdown, Chargers-Jags, Chiefs-Broncos, and a huge matchup between the Rams and Seahawks are all on tap for the main slate, with the Lions-Eagles clash for dessert in the Sunday […]

The NBA Emirates Cup action resumes tonight with nine games in the Association.

In fact, we will see the return of LaMelo Ball […]

The Fantasy Basketball Cut List - Who to Drop or Hold After Week 3

Some of my cut list targets last week took it personally, especially CJ McCollum, who snapped back to life with two 25-point outings and a 42-point game in overtime. I'm not reading too much into that production or feeling bad about that recommendation; I think his outlook for the long term remains the same. Anfernee […]

There are certain running backs, like Christian McCaffrey, who are matchup-proof because of their massive volume of touches or their heavy usage in the pass game. In CMC's case, it's both, and he's projected to lead the slate in rostership again on Sunday this week. But we can roster two additional running backs on FanDuel […]
