Daily NBA Prop Bets - Top Player Props, Value Picks and Quick Odds (11/7/25)

We get another dose of Emirates Cup action in the Association tonight, and 11 total games are on the docket. I love Friday slates for betting props as there is never a shortage of markets to attack, and this slate is no different! I only get to write this piece once a week, so bear […]

Welcome back to the second installment of the Fantasy Basketball Cut List. The decision to cut a player from your team isn't always an easy one, so I'm here to help you make those tough calls and keep your roster stocked with as many healthy and productive players as possible.

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 3 (2025): 11/3 to 11/9

We are still very early in the season, so the balancing act between being aggressive and picking up players off the wire without dropping players who have long-term upside is a tough one. Luckily for you, I started a new piece called the Fantasy Basketball Cut List that will accompany this one a bit later […]

Running Back Matchups to Target in Week 9 (2025) - Jonathan Taylor, Christian McCaffrey, Kimani Vidal, More

As we move into the second half of the schedule, the best rushing offenses and worst rushing defenses are becoming a bit more obvious, making some of the best matchups easier to recognize.

Daily NBA Prop Bets - Top Player Props, Value Picks and Quick Odds (10/31/25)

We usually get more than eight games on a Friday night in the NBA, but that's plenty of games to choose from for our favorite NBA betting props. I don't want to toot our own horn too much (or jinx myself today), but my partner on this column, Keith Eyster, and I have a five-slate […]

The Fantasy Basketball Cut List - Who to Drop or Hold After Week 1

So much of the fantasy space is devoted to telling you which players to add, but who's there to help you decide who to drop? I believe it was Shakespeare who said, "Parting is such sweet sorrow." It's not always easy to let go of a player, especially if you already invested a draft pick […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 2 (2025): 10/27 to 11/2

The first week of NBA action is in the books, but most teams have only played three games so far this season, and many of them are still dealing with preseason injuries and are tinkering with rotations. We want to be aggressive and snap up players with potential, but we also want to be patient […]

Running Back Matchups to Target in Week 8 (2025) - Jonathan Taylor, Bijan Robinson, J.K. Dobbins, More

The Week 8 main slate may be as top-heavy as any slate we have seen this season, with a trio of backs who have been elite fantasy producers this season (Christian McCaffrey, Jonathan Taylor, and Bijan Robinson) as well as the two best backs from 2024 (Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry) in very good spots, […]

Running Back Matchups to Target in Week 7 (2025) - Jonathan Taylor, Quinshon Judkins, Jacory Croskey-Merritt, J.K. Dobbins

This NFL Main Slate for DFS features a few big-time running backs, but then it falls off quickly as we have yet another week where an early morning game in Europe, plus three primetime games, have sapped the amount of talent that we have to choose from on Sunday afternoon. I'm breaking down DVOA data, […]

Thunder Dan's Road Map to Winning Assists In 2025 Fantasy Basketball

Over the last month, I've taken part in a number of mock drafts with other industry experts. Something I have noticed is that the popularity of a "punt assists" build this season is gaining some traction, as three of the top 25 assist guys in the NBA are all out for the season (Tyrese Haliburton, […]

More Than Just Points! Fantasy Basketball Stat-Stuffers To Draft in 2025

The worst term we can use for a player in fantasy basketball is "hollow." I'm talking about category leagues here, as someone who collects enough counting stats can be quite useful in points leagues. I don't play in points leagues, and you probably know that by now if you've read any of my content before. […]

Percentages and Turnovers Matter! High Efficiency Players To Target in Fantasy Basketball (2025)

As the NBA season draws nearer by the day, I'm gearing up for my final set of fantasy basketball drafts. I'm guessing that you are doing the same thing, and I want to offer up some more content this week that you may find helpful when making those difficult decisions on draft day. What makes […]

The main slate of NFL games on Sunday is just around the corner, and I'm back this week to try to uncover the absolute best spots for running backs to succeed. You won't find guys like Christian McCaffrey or Rachaad White on this list, despite their popularity on DraftKings this week, as their projections are […]

2025-2026 Fantasy Basketball Rankings - Thunder Dan's Draft Guide

This might be the most interesting year for fantasy basketball drafts that we have seen in the last decade. Injuries will keep players typically taken in the first few rounds, such as Tyrese Haliburton, Jayson Tatum, and Damian Lillard, out for the season. Kyrie Irving is set to miss at least half the season, and […]

Running Back Matchups to Target in Week 5 (2025) - Jahmyr Gibbs, Javonte Williams, Woody Marks, More

What goes into a big game for an NFL running back? When you fire up the highlight video, you are trained to admire the sick juke move that he put on a linebacker that led to a long run or the incredible stiff arm that he delivered to a poor cornerback attempting to tackle him. […]
