Carmelo Anthony (SF, NY) - Safe FanDuel Play on 2/4/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at DET, $8,900 ANALYSIS: Ummmm Carmelo under $9,000. Yes please, sign me up. Since returning from his minor knee injury, Melo has put up totals of 35, 40, and 49 FD points. Although one or two of those were not so efficient performances, that doesn't hurt you in DFS, so don't even look at […]

Marcus Morris (SF, DET) - FanDuel Value Play on 2/4/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs NY, $5,100 ANALYSIS: As I mentioned earlier, with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope out, there are going to be a few fantasy beneficiaries on the Pistons. But who gains the biggest boost in value? Marcus Morris. With a lot less competition on the wing for minutes and shot attempts, Morris's usage should get a significant uptick. I […]

DeMar DeRozan (SG, TOR) - Strong FanDuel Play on 2/4/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at POR, $8,100 ANALYSIS: I'm sure you noticed my other guard selections were pretty cheap. Here's one of the first under-priced stars I think are in for a great night. Portland doesn't have much size on the perimeter, and doesn't play much defense overall out there. DeMar should have his way getting to the rim as […]

Devin Booker (SG, PHO) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 2/4/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs HOU, $5,400 ANALYSIS: If Tyreke Evans does sit, SG is going to look a little thin on FanDuel tonight. If you don't want to pony up for Harden (you'll see I'm not buying) then its gonna look even more thin. DeRozan, McCollum, and Louis Williams become your most expensive options. Right below that […]

Norris Cole (PG, NO) - Safe FanDuel Play on 2/4/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at LAL, $5,000 ANALYSIS: This pick is hinged on the status of Tyreke Evans heading into tonights game against the Lakers. If he sits, Cole will surely be one of the most popular plays of the night. Cole has scored over 30 FD points in three out of the last four games with Evans […]

Brandon Jennings (PG, DET) - Risk/Reward FanDuel Play on 2/4/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs NY, $3,700 ANALYSIS: I guess we'll start with the riskiest play of the night. In DFS you always have to try to stay one step ahead, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope's injury might provide an under the radar opportunity for Brandon Jennings. Detroit has experimented with playing Jennings and starter Reggie Jackson at the same time, […]

Carmelo Anthony (SF, NY) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 2/4

Carmelo Anthony (at DET, $8,500) For all the Melo hate that is out there, the following remains true: the offense still flows through him and the dude is consistently among the league leaders in usage rate. The Knicks superstar has improved on his rebounding numbers and may even set a career-high in assists this season. […]

Markieff Morris (PF, PHO) - Value Play on DraftKings 2/4

Markieff Morris (vs MIN, $5,700) Here’s the lock chalk play of the day. The new Phoenix administration has made it clear that they want Morris, however many days he has left wearing a Suns uni, to be the man. They want the offense centered around him and it starts by inserting him in the lineup. […]

Jrue Holiday (PG, NO) and Anthony Davis (PF, NO) - Stack on DraftKings 2/4

Jrue Holiday (at LAL, $7,200) A lot of times we are asked if it is a good idea to actually roster bench players in a DFS lineup. The answer is simple, at least for me. I don’t care if a guy is coming off the bench or starting, all I care about is his playing […]

Jahlil Okafor (C, PHI) - FanDuel Cash Game Play On 2/3/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ATL, $6,400 ANALYSIS: He hasn't become the GPP-type player I was hoping he would be, but Okafor has been productive and efficient in 2016. At this price, and with such a high usage rate, I think he's a fine cash game option this evening. I'm not big into looking at past performance in […]

Thaddeus Young (PF, BKN) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 2/3/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs IND, $6,300 ANALYSIS: Anytime you can get Young in the ballpark of 6,500 (or less in this case), he's a guy you have to consider. His high rebounding numbers create such a nice fantasy point floor, and if the shots are falling, he can put up the type of numbers to help you take […]

Robert Covington (SF, PHI) - Cheap FanDuel Play on 2/3/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ATL, $5,100 ANALYSIS: It appears Mr. Covington has finally carved out a solid role in this Sixers offense, and as a result, he's producing relatively gaudy stat lines for someone priced under $6k.  In his last 10 games, he's exceeded value nine times and by an average of 8.81 points. The fact that […]

Monta Ellis (SG, IND) - FanDuel Value Play on 2/3/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at BKN, $6,900 ANALYSIS: Ellis has nearly put up Westbrook-like fantasy point totals over the last week, twice eclipsing the 50 point total in hist last three games. Even with the increased production and salary bump, I really like his chances to far exceed his price implied point total tonight against the Nets' abysmal […]

Russell Westbrook (PG, OKC) - Elite FanDuel Play on 2/3/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ORL, $10,900 ANALYSIS: To say that Russ has been a monster these last few contests would be a gross understatement. His DFS price tag has risen $500 in the past 10 days, but it still hasn't caught up to his production. In that same stretch, Westbrook has averaged 6.22 points over his salary implied projections. […]

Aaron Gordon (SF, ORL) - DraftKings Value Play on 2/3/16

Aaron Gordon (at OKC, $5,400) If you have been living under a rock over the last few days, Aaron Gordon is in the middle of a huge breakout. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 12.0 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game, including a huge 12 point and 16 rebound double double against the Spurs […]

Jordan Hill (PF, IND) - DraftKings Value Play on 2/3/16

Jordan Hill (at BKN, $5,500) Ian Mahinmi has been ruled out for tonight’s game, which means Jordan Hill is going to play big minutes once again. In his last two games, he has played a combined 74 minutes and he scored a total of 79.25 fantasy points. He gets a great matchup against the Nets, who he dominated […]

E'Twaun Moore (SG, CHI) - DraftKings Sleeper on 2/3/16

E’Twaun Moore (at SAC, $3,600) It would be wise to get a part of the Bulls offense tonight, as they get a great matchup against a weak Kings defense. Moore is an extremely cheap way to get a part of their starters, as he has started in each of the last three games. He hasn’t been […]

Russell Westbrook (PG, OKC) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 2/3/16

Russell Westbrook (vs ORL, $11,000) If you have the money to get Westbrook in your lineup, you would be wise to do so. He has been playing unbelievably well recently, as he’s averaging 23.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, 10.7 assists, and 1.3 steals per game over the last 10 days. He’s coming off two consecutive triple doubles, and […]

Karl-Anthony Towns (C, MIN) - Solid DraftKings Tournament Play on 2/2/16

Karl-Anthony Towns (at LAL, $7,800) Here comes the big cat! Dude has been an absolute monster over the last two weeks and there is little to no chance that the Lakers and their 30th-ranked defense against the center position will slow him down. Big KAT is going to show Roy Hibbert just what Kevin Durant said nearly 10 days ago. Towns […]

Karl-Anthony Towns (C, MIN) - Solid DraftKings Tournament Play on 2/2/16

Karl-Anthony Towns (at LAL, $7,800) Here comes the big cat! Dude has been an absolute monster over the last two weeks and there is little to no chance that the Lakers and their 30th-ranked defense against the center position will slow him down. Big KAT is going to show Roy Hibbert just what Kevin Durant said nearly 10 days ago. Towns […]

Dwayne Wade (SG, MIA) and Justise Winslow (SF, MIA) - DraftKings Stack on 2/2/16

Dwyane Wade (at HOU, $7,300) We are also hoping that Wade draws the Beard and not Patrick Beverley, who has showed tremendous defensive ability this season. The Beard, however, well he’s shown some regression to say the least. Wade has been a consistent offensive force, so it’s surprising to see his price drop $500 from his last game. […]

Zach LaVine (PG, MIN) - DraftKings Value Play on 2/2/16

Zach LaVine (at LAL, $5,300) Don’t forget that LaVine is considered a point guard on DraftKings. There is a push from some of the Minnesota faithful to plug LaVine into the starting five, but we here at Rotoballer are keeping our fingers crossed that he continues to come off the bench. Over his last four, LaVine is […]

Dwyane Wade (SG, MIA) and Amar'e Stoudemire - Stack on FanDuel 2/2

Dwyane Wade (at HOU) - $7,900 James Harden defense is the worst kind of defense... unless you're on the other team. Wade gets a chance to exploit it on Tuesday, and the fast-paced Rockets should create more shots for Wade in transition. With Whiteside likely out again, look for Wade to shoulder the offensive load […]

Devin Booker (SG, PHO) - Value Play on FanDuel 2/2

Devin Booker (vs. TOR) - $5,200 Without Brandon Knight, Booker has taken over the lead scoring role for Phoenix. The Raptors will push the pace, and Booker will get his shots no matter the score. Let's hope for one of the games in which the Suns' guard sticks his nose in on defense and on […]

Carmelo Anthony (SF, NY) - Big Money Play on FanDuel 2/2

Carmelo Anthony (vs. BOS) - $9,000 The Knicks run their offense through Melo when he's healthy. The Celtics are tough this year, and Anthony will need to touch the ball every possession if New York is going to have a chance here. He may have one of his 20-10-10 nights in what should be a […]

DeMarcus Cousins (C, SAC) - Elite FanDuel Option on 2/1/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs MIL, $11,100 ANALYSIS: DeMarcus Cousins was injured in his last game, and he still ended up posting close to 40 fantasy points. It is likely that he plays tonight against the Milwaukee Bucks, and he should be able to do some damage. He does not always hit value, as his price tag is […]

Willie Cauley-Stein (PF, SAC) - Cheap FanDuel Play on 2/1/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs MIL, $4,100 ANALYSIS: Willie Cauley-Stein has played under 20 minutes in two straight games now, but he was playing over 30 minutes per game prior to that. The Sacramento Kings should give his minutes back to him, but to be on the safe side, do not use him in 50/50 contests. Instead, save […]

Kawhi Leonard (SF, SA) - Safe FanDuel Play on 2/1/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ORL, $7,300 ANALYSIS: Kawhi Leonard has great upside, especially if the game stays close. The problem with the San Antonio Spurs is that they blow a lot of teams out. When that happens Leonard doesn't get enough minutes. He played 35 minutes in his last game, against the Cleveland Cavaliers, and he posted […]

Dion Waiters (SG, OKC) - FanDuel Value Play on 2/1/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs WAS, $3,900 ANALYSIS: Dion Waiters is playing huge minutes for the Oklahoma City Thunder right now. Of course, Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant are stealing the show, but Waiters should be able to get enough shots off to hit value. As we know, Westbrook is the best guard option on the board, but […]

Russell Westbrook (PG, OKC) - Strong FanDuel Play on 2/1/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs WAS, $10,900 ANALYSIS: Russell Westbrook is the best guard option on the board tonight, as he plays the Washington Wizards. The Wizards are going to push the pace of the game, and Westbrook thrives when that is the case. He has over 50 fantasy points in three straight games now, and there is […]
