Paul Millsap (PF, ATL) - Safe FanDuel Play on 2/7/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at ORL, $7,800 ANALYSIS: Another guy that figures to be heavily owned mainly because there are really not a whole lot of great options, Millsap has been rather erratic since the start of the second half of the NBA season. He is still scoring his fair share for the Hawks, but what’s up with […]

Omri Casspi (SF, SAC) - FanDuel Injury Play on 2/7/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at BOS, $5,100 ANALYSIS: A Casspi roster makes sense only if there is confirmation that Rudy Gay will sit again. It also makes a lot of sense if Ben McLemore sits as well. That’s a lot of minutes, shots, rebounds and usage rate that needs to be picked up.  

Kent Bazemore (SF, ATL) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 2/7/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at ORL, $5,100 ANALYSIS: Do you trust Bazemore? Me neither. But he makes a lot of sense on Superbowl Sunday. There are question marks abound at the swing position and though Bazemore is not without his, he does make sense against Orlando. The Magic have given up over 43 FanDuel points per game over […]

Avery Bradley (SG, BOS) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 2/7/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs SAC, $5,500 ANALYSIS: This Sacramento-Boston game looks juicy. It features two teams that play really fast, should have the highest projected point total of the game, and Marco Belinelli on defense! He owns a 112 DRating and if you attempt to quantify that on a scientific scale, that means that he couldn’t even […]

Victor Oladipo (SG, ORL) - FanDuel Upside Play on 2/7/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ATL, $6,500 ANALYSIS: Oladipo was on a fantastic run in two straight games last week before it all came crashing down against the Clippers. The shooting/point guard dropped a total of 94.5 FanDuel points in two straight games before drawing a lot of defense from Chris Paul on Friday night. Still, the guy […]

Emmanuel Mudiay (PG, DEN) - FanDuel Value Play on 2/7/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at NY, $5,400 ANALYSIS: Despite continuing to turn the ball over like, well, a rookie point guard, Mudiay has put up some strong performances as of late. His minutes have been reaching into the low to mid-30s, and he has shown he is quite capable of draining buckets and dishing out dimes. Hopefully the […]

Isaiah Thomas (PG, BOS) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 2/7/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs SAC, $7,800 ANALYSIS: Look at it this way. The field is going to invest heavily in Thomas. I imagine somewhere in the 65-75% range. That’s just how good this matchup is. So even if you roster Thomas and he lays a dud- something that is not likely to happen- then it still won’t […]

Gorgui Dieng (C, MIN) - Strong FanDuel Play on 2/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs CHI, $5,600 ANALYSIS: Gorgui Dieng is the best center option on the board tonight, as he plays the Chicago Bulls. In his last game, which was against the Los Angeles Clippers, Dieng did not impress, but he should be able to turn his game around tonight. The Bulls are one of the worst […]

Harrison Barnes (PF, GSW) - FanDuel Upside Play on 2/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs OKC, $4,300 ANALYSIS: Harrison Barnes is very similar to Wayne Ellington tonight, but he has more upside. Barnes plays huge minutes for the Golden State Warriors, but he is often overlooked in favor of Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson. He does produce from time to time. In two of his last […]

Nicolas Batum (SF, CHA) - FanDuel Tournament Play on 2/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs WAS, $6,000 ANALYSIS: Is Nicolas Batum finally back in form? That is still questionable, but he did just post over 40 fantasy points in his last game, which was against the Miami Heat. Batum is one of the best small forwards in the league, and he should be able to score rather easily […]

Wayne Ellington (SG, BKN) - Cheap FanDuel Play on 2/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at PHI, $3,900 ANALYSIS: Wayne Ellington is still too cheap as far as I'm concerned. I understand that he has not been all that impressive of recent, but he is still playing around 30 minutes per game for the Brooklyn Nets, and that is enough to warrant using him in tournaments. Ellington only need […]

Ish Smith (PG, PHI) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 2/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs BKN, $6,700 ANALYSIS: Ish Smith has really lost his consistency since landing in Philadelphia, but he is still worth a look in tournament lineups. In his last four games, he has two games under 25 fantasy points and two games over 40 fantasy points. If that doesn't scream inconsistency, I'm not sure what […]

Gorgui Dieng (C, MIN) - DraftKings Value Play on 2/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs CHI, $6,100 ANALYSIS: This spot can be used for either Karl-Anthony Towns or Gorgui Dieng, but Dieng is cheaper, so he got the write up. Kevin Garnett and Nikola Pekovic are rumored to be out for an extended period of time, which means Dieng will continue to play big minutes. Over the last […]

Markieff Morris (PF, PHO) - DraftKings GPP Play on 2/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs UTA, $5,900 ANALYSIS: Morris may be a bit under owned tonight because he gets a tough matchup and he’s coming off a poor performance. Everyone was anticipating Morris to replicate the 58.75 fantasy point performance he had the game before, and he left a sour taste in their mouth with only 23.25 fantasy […]

Derrick Favors (PF, UTA) - DraftKings Matchup Play on 2/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at PHO, $7,000 ANALYSIS: Favors should be closer to $8,000 when he’s fully healthy, which it looks like he finally is. He has been playing big minutes for the Jazz, and he recently scored 41.75 fantasy points against the Nuggets. Tonight, he gets a great matchup against the Suns, who love to run at […]

Stanley Johnson (SF, DET) - DraftKings Value Play on 2/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at IND, $5,200 ANALYSIS: Johnson’s price took a jump a little quicker than I was anticipating, but he’s still a bit too cheap. He drew the start for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in the Pistons last game, and he dominated with 22 points, nine rebounds, five assists, a block, and two steals in 44 minutes. He’s […]

Kevin Durant (SF, OKC) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 2/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at GS, $10,500 ANALYSIS: As always, I don’t mind pairing Durant and Westbrook together, especially in a matchup like tonight. The Warriors love pushing the pace, and the Thunder are going to be looking to make a statement tonight. Westbrook and Durant should take over the offense even more than they already do, which […]

Rodney Hood (SG, UTA) - DraftKings Matchup Play on 2/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at PHO, $5,900 ANALYSIS: Hood has been playing well recently, as he’s averaging 19.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game over the last 10 days. He gets a great matchup against the Suns, who love pushing the pace, but have struggled defensively this season. Hood is a great scorer, who can heat […]

Klay Thompson (SG, GSW) - Strong DraftKings Play on 2/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs OKC, $7,800 ANALYSIS: Thompson has posted some huge games recently, and it looks like he has really found his groove on offense. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 29.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game. While he doesn’t add many peripheral stats, both of these teams play at a fast […]

Patty Mills (PG, SA) - Cheap DraftKings Play on 2/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs LAL, $3,700 ANALYSIS: Mills is going to play a larger role for the Spurs with Manu Ginobili out for an extended period of time. Mills has tremendous upside, as he recently scored 37.5 fantasy points in only 21 minutes against the Magic. He gets a great matchup against the Lakers tonight, who Mills […]

Russell Westbrook (PG, OKC) - Elite DraftKings Play on 2/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at GS, $11,200 ANALYSIS: This is the type of matchup that we have been waiting for. Westbrook has been on fire recently, as he’s averaging 24.2 points, 11.6 rebounds, 12.8 assists, and 1.4 steals per game over the last 10 days. Tonight, he’ll get a matchup against a fast paced Golden State team, and […]

Lebron James (SF, CLE) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 2/5/16

LeBron James (vs BOS, $9,600) James has been playing well for his new coach, and that has a lot to do with the new pace the Cavs are playing at. Over the last 10 days, James is averaging 23.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 1.0 block, and 1.2 steals per game. He has scored 50+ fantasy points […]

Mario Hezonja (SG, ORL) - DraftKings Sleeper for 2/5/16

Mario Hezonja (vs LAC, $3,300) It looks like the Magic are finally going to give their rookie a decent amount of minutes from here on out. Hezonja has played at least 20 minutes in four consecutive games, and he has scored 24+ fantasy points in two of those games. He comes with a little bit of risk, […]

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (SF, CHA) - DraftKings Value Play on 2/5/16

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (vs MIA, $5,200) MKG has been back for three games now, and he’s averaging 14.3 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game. Aside from a game against a weak Lakers team, MKG has played 34 and 37 minutes in his other two games. This game should stay fairly close throughout all four quarters, which […]

Ish Smith (PG, PHI) - Value Play on FanDuel 2/5

Ish Smith (at WAS, $6,700) Ish Smith has been up and down for a few games now, so he is only usable in tournaments currently. In his last four games, he has two games over 35 fantasy points and two games under 22 fantasy points. Against the Golden State Warriors, he posted over 40 fantasy […]

Nikola Jokic (C, DEN) - Value Play on FanDuel 2/5

Nikola Jokic (vs CHI, $6,200) Nikola Jokic looked horrendous against the Utah Jazz, especially in the first half. He did salvage 25.2 fantasy points in 29 minutes, but in the first half, he only posted around 10 fantasy points. Prior to that, he had over 35 fantasy points in three straight games. Even more impressively, […]

Wayne Ellington (SG, BKN) and Thaddeus Young (PF, BKN) - Stack on FanDuel 2/5

Wayne Ellington (vs SAC, $3,900) Wayne Ellington has been solid of recent, and his price tag is still low enough to continue to use him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments. In his last six games, Ellington has over 20 fantasy points in three of them. He is playing right around 30 minutes per game […]

Dwight Howard (C, HOU) - Risk/Reward FanDuel Play on 2/4/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at PHO, $7,800 ANALYSIS: Last but certainly not least, we get to Dwight Howard. After missing the last game due to a suspension, Dwight will be fully rested and ready to help the Rockets take on the decimated Phoenix Suns. I've already discussed how much I like the pace of this game, which will surely benefit […]

Anthony Davis (PF, NO) - Elite FanDuel Play on 2/4/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs LAL, $10,100 ANALYSIS: I'm gonna keep this short and simple. Anthony Davis is playing the Lakers tonight. Roster him. Even though his ownership will likely be through the roof, AD has the chance for one of his historic fantasy performances tonight. With Evans likely out tonight (keep an eye on that), AD's usage will […]

Markieff Morris (PF, PHO) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 2/4/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs HOU, $5,200 ANALYSIS: I just had to write about the second Morri(s). He has an excellent match up tonight against the very fast paced Rockets and is coming off his best game of the season two nights ago in Toronto. In that game, he dropped 30 real points, 11 rebounds, six assists, two blocks, […]
