Taj Gibson (PF, CHI) - Value Play on DraftKings 1/28

Taj Gibson (at LAL, $5,500) I love the top two choices in Cousins and Anderson, but I implore you all to give Taj a nice look look for Thursday’s slate. Nikola Mirotic had an emergency appendectomy and will miss Thursday’s game, while Joakim Noah is out for what looks like a long, long time. The […]

Will Barton (SG, DEN) - Value Play on DraftKings 1/28

Will Barton (at WAS, $5,700) Don’t look now but it appears Barton’s forgettable two-week run is over and it couldn’t have come at a better time. His price has dipped from “utterly foolish” to “mostly acceptable,” and the Nuggets will have a nice matchup with the fantasy friendly, fast paced Washington Wizards. The Wiz have […]

DeMarcus Cousins (PF, SAC) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 1/28

DeMarcus Cousins (at NO, $11,000) I’ll make this quick. If Anthony Davis does not play- and it’s looking increasingly likely that he will not- then Boogie will absolutely demolish the Pelican front court. Heck, even if The Brow does go, Cousins should feast. Chalk up his last game to fatigue after coming off a double-overtime […]

John Wall (PG, WAS) and Marcin Gortat (C, WAS) - Stack on DraftKings 1/28

John Wall (vs DEN, $9,100) Denver’s perimeter defense is bad. Like real bad. Like 28th against point guards on the season kind of bad. John Wall is not exactly the type of guard that will bring those numbers back down. Optimus Dime’s nickname has proven true as of late. The sixth-year veteran out of Kentucky […]

Andre Drummond (C, DET) - Strong FanDuel Play on 1/27/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs PHI, $8,200 ANALYSIS: I expect Drummond to benefit from a faster pace of play this evening. Making the matchup even more appealing is the fact that Jahlil Okafor is out tonight, and while he isn't a great defender to begin with, he's still poses a threat physically. Without him, I think the Sixers […]

LaMarcus Aldridge (PF, SA) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 1/27/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs HOU, $6,600 ANALYSIS: After a few disappointing individual performances and a blowout loss to the Warriors, I'm expecting LMA and the Spurs to play with a chip on their shoulders tonight against their in-state rival Rockets. Of course, that's just a hunch, and I wouldn't give you a selection based on hunch alone. Insights […]

Kawhi Leonard (SF, SA) - Top FanDuel SF Option on 1/27/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs HOU, $7,500 ANALYSIS: At this price tag, Kawhi is a real bargain and all things considered, I think he's far and away the best option at small forward tonight. The game has a much higher projected total than what we're accustomed to seeing in Spurs games, and Kawhi should benefit from the fast […]

Kent Bazemore (SG, ATL) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/27/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs LAC, $5,200 ANALYSIS: Never Baze-less when the opportunity is ripe to Bazemore. Kent hasn't put up any gaudy stat lines recently, but he has been pretty consistent in terms of production, exceeding value in three of his last four outings. His price has dropped $700 over the past 10 days, and with the […]

Reggie Jackson (PG, DET) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 1/27/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs PHI, $7,000 ANALYSIS: Reggie is criminally under-priced this evening and he has a great matchup to boot. While this isn't one of the games I mentioned targeting because of the high expected point total, the over/under in this one is 203, which is a pretty high number for a Detroit game. Jackson and his […]

Jonathon Simmons (SF, SA) - DraftKings Sleeper on 1/27/16

Jonathon Simmons (vs HOU, $3,100) It looks like Simmons has worked his way into the San Antonio offense with a few injuries to their big men. Tim Duncan will likely sit out again tonight, which means Simmons will play around 25 minutes. He isn’t the best fantasy player in the world, but he’s extremely cheap and he’s averaging slightly […]

Rodney Hood (SG, UTA) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/27/16

Rodney Hood (vs CHA, $5,900) Hood is playing big minutes for the Jazz, as he’s averaging 34.1 minutes per game over the last 10 days. He’s also producing well in those minutes, averaging 18.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game over that span. Tonight, he gets a great matchup against the Hornets, who have really […]

Andre Drummond (C, DET) and Ersan Ilyasova (PF, DET) - DraftKings Stack on 1/27/16

Andre Drummond (vs PHI, $8,500) Drummond has been awful recently, as he has scored 17.5 and 17.0 fantasy points in his last two games. He has also flashed his upside, though, as he scored 56.5 fantasy points in the game before those. Tonight, he gets a matchup made in heaven, as the Sixers have a terrible defense, […]

Stephen Curry (PG, GS) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/27/16

Stephen Curry (vs DAL, $10,700) It’s tough to avoid Curry right now, as he has been hitting value in limited minutes and exceeding value when playing a full game. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 34.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 7.0 assists, and 2.6 steals in 32.5 minutes per game. He has been able to reach value […]

Salah Mejri (C, DAL) - DraftKings Sleeper on 1/26/16

Salah Mejri (at LAL, $3,500) If Zaza Pachulia does not play Tuesday night, then Mejri looks to be the biggest benefactor. He has logged serious minutes in two of his last three games, while recording 32 points and 21 rebounds during that span. And we love picking on the Lakers here at Rotoballer.

Kevin Durant (SF, OKC) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/26/16

Kevin Durant (at NYK, $9,800) There is something about Kevin Durant playing in Madison Square Garden, in the country’s largest media market, that makes me think that he will go HAM against the Knicks. Add in that Carmelo Anthony is reportedly dealing with some soreness in his surgically repaired knee and you have to wonder if he will be […]

DeMar DeRozan (SG, TOR) - DraftKings Smart Play on 1/26/16

DeMar DeRozan (vs WAS, $8,300) Every time Toronto balls against Washington, it seems like DeRozan pummels the Wizards. In three games this season against their divisional foes, he is averaging 30 points, six rebounds and three assists. Clearly he likes something in the Washington defense. With Kyle Lowry most likely being checked by John Wall, look for more of the […]

Archie Goodwin (SG, PHO) and P.J. Tucker (SF, PHO) - DraftKings Stack on 1/26/16

Archie Goodwin (at PHI, $4,500) Goodwin is still listed as a shooting guard on DraftKings and it is looking as if Brandon Knight is going to be out for Tuesday’s matchup in Philadelphia. Goodwin has played 39 and 41 minutes, respectively, in Phoenix’s last two games where he has started at the point, dropping a total of 68 DraftKings […]

DeMarcus Cousins (C, SAC) - Big Money Play on FanDuel 1/26

DeMarcus Cousins (at POR) - $11,200 Can anyone stop Boogie right now? Well, I'm not sure. But it surely won't be the Trail Blazers. Portland has struggled against big men all year, and Cousins is playing like he's from another planet. The pace will be up with two teams who like to push the ball, […]

Archie Goodwin (PG, PHO) - Value Play on FanDuel 1/26

Archie Goodwin (at PHI) - $4,100 With Brandon Knight out for at least another week, Archie Goodwin will presumably continue to see upwards of 40 minutes for the Suns. The Sixers are a nice matchup to target, and anyone getting over 30 minutes at this price is a solid play. Fire up Goodwin.

DeMar DeRozan (SG, TOR) and Terrence Ross (SG, TOR) - Stack on FanDuel 1/26

DeMar DeRozan (vs. WAS) - $8,400 DeRozan has been crushing value lately, hitting 40 FDP with ease. The Wizards push the pace, which led to 49 FDP for DeRozan against this same team a few games back. Look for the shooting guard to dominate shots again on Tuesday, and don't be surprised if he is […]

Rudy Gobert (C, UTA) - FanDuel Upside Play on 1/25/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs DET, $7,000 ANALYSIS: Rudy Gobert has great upside, especially against the Detroit Pistons tonight, as Andre Drummond really does not know how to play defense. Gobert is a fantastic rebounder, and he has also figured out how to score around the basket. In two of his last four games, he has over 40 […]

Harrison Barnes (SF, GSW) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/25/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs SA, $4,800 ANALYSIS: It looks like Harrison Barnes is going to start seeing over 30 minutes in every game from here on out. His injury is behind him, and he should continue to play well. In his last game, against the Indiana Pacers, he posted 25.7 fantasy points in 35 minutes. He generally […]

LeBron James (SF, CLE) - Top FanDuel Play on 1/25/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs MIN, $9,900 ANALYSIS: LeBron James had something to prove in his last game, against the Chicago Bulls, as the Cleveland Cavaliers recently fired their head coach. He responded the way that only King James knows how to respond - with 26 points, 13 rebounds, nine assists, and over 60 fantasy points. Tonight, he […]

Tyler Johnson (SG, MIA) - Risk/Reward FanDuel Play on 1/25/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at CHI, $4,200 ANALYSIS: The Miami Heat are dealing with a ton of injuries right now. Hassan Whiteside has been banged up. Dwyane Wade has been questionable to play for a couple of games now. Goran Dragic, Beno Udrih, and a ton of other players are banged up. That has led to Tyler Johnson […]

Tyreke Evans (SG, NO) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 1/25/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs HOU, $7,100 ANALYSIS: Tyreke Evans did not look great in his last game, which was against the Milwaukee Bucks, as he only played 24 minutes and posted 21.4 fantasy points. However, in the game prior, against the Detroit Pistons, he posted over 40 fantasy points in only 31 minutes on the court. He […]

Kemba Walker (PG, CHA) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 1/25

Kemba Walker (at SAC, $8,600) Walker is the recent owner of two 70+ fantasy point performances in four games, one of which exceeded 80 fantasy points (52 points, nine rebounds, eight assists). The Charlotte Hornets visit the Sacramento Kings, in a matchup between two teams that score a lot of points and play at a […]

Boban Marjanovic (C, SA) - Value Play on DraftKings 1/25

Boban Marjanovic (vs GS, $3,500) Tim Duncan will miss Monday's premium matchup between the Spurs and the Warriors due to soreness in his right knee. Boris Diaw will likely sneak into the starting lineup, but Marjanovic should see a boost in minutes. When Duncan last missed action on Thursday against the Phoenix Suns, Marjanovic posted a double-double, […]

Chris Bosh (PF, MIA) and Justise Winslow (SF, MIA) - Stack on DraftKings 1/25

Chris Bosh (at CHI, $7,700) The Bulls simply aren't good at defending forwards this season, and have allowed plenty of fantasy points to power forwards as well as small forwards. Bosh has not been wowing fantasy owners with explosive performances of late, but the veteran has been consistent all season, and recently, posting over 30 and […]

Kevin Durant (SF, OKC) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/24/16

Kevin Durant (at BK, $9,500) Durant is by far the best player at the three-spot on Sunday. He has scored 20 or more points in 30 straight games played. Yes, 30 straight. Durant is always a solid play in DFS, for all formats, and continuously spreads stats across the board. He has a great matchup against the Brooklyn […]

DeMar DeRozan (SG, TOR) and Terrence Ross (SG, TOR) - DraftKings Stack on 1/24/16

DeMar DeRozan (vs LAC, $8,300) DeRozan has been on fire the past three games, averaging a little over 32 points, 47.7 fantasy points, five assists, and four rebounds in that span. DeRozan is the second best option at the two-guard on Sunday, and is almost $2,000 cheaper than James Harden. With the exception of Harden's insane 80 fantasy […]
