How To Find Value In Fantasy Basketball Auction Drafts

Often I've been asked by fantasy players if they've gotten a good value for a certain player in an auction draft, but without the person giving me an entire breakdown of their draft, I have to give my decision on if I like the pick based off of the player's perceived value. Writers often look... Read More

NBA Skill Set Scarcity: Where Are the Efficient Bigs?

I'm a huge fan of Jrue Holiday. I truly believe he might be the most underrated point guard of our generation in both real life and for many years, in fantasy too. He's an elite defender who has finished better than the 90th percentile in on/off opponents' point per possession numbers in his career, with... Read More

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Oh, the fantasy basketball sleeper. It is a term that is often discussed and heavily debated.

Free Throws Mean Free Wins: NBA Picks Who Draw Contact

Basketball is built on the basics. Fundamentals make a player and great fundamentals make a great player. There is nothing more fundamental than free throws. It may not be the most exciting thing for fans to watch, especially coming from the past decade which included debacles like three-point flopping or Hack-a-Shaq. It does slow down... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (5/8/18): NBA DFS Lineups

Tonight really isn't the greatest slate. Realistically, the entire second round of playoffs hasn't been that good in terms of DFS. It's been decent but the blowouts mess with decision making. With only two games that haven't offered up the most competition, choosing whether it will be a close game or a toss-up, now that... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (5/6/18): NBA DFS Lineups

There are only two games once again, which makes the slate somewhat difficult. There are a few players that are near must starts, but the majority aren't cheap.

Both series tonight have taken a turn for the worst when it comes to DFS. Both teams are head and shoulders ahead of their competition and anything can happen tonight.

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (5/4/18): NBA DFS Lineups

How weird has this second round been?

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (5/4/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We're back to another two game slate with two interesting matchups. The Utah Jazz have displayed the ability to keep up with one of the best teams in the NBA.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (5/1/18): NBA DFS Lineups

Another two game slate and another chance to cash out big-time. Honestly, I think the NBA needs to give LeBron James another day of rest. They might lose a team when James knocks the Raptors out of the playoffs but tonight, it should be all about DeMar DeRozan, Kyle Lowry and James. I'll say this... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/30/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We are going to do things a bit differently with only one game tonight. DraftKings offers a one game Showdown where you roster six utility players whose total salary you need to keep below $50,000.
