DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/15/16): NBA DFS Advice

Thursday's five-game slate promises several high-scoring affairs, as eight of the 10 teams scheduled to play fall in the bottom half in opponent's points per game. It also offers a lot of parity, with only one player (Anthony Davis) demanding more than $10,000. Sure, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant or both could go off for 40 points […]

Allen Crabbe (PG/SG, POR) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% Yahoo! ANALYSIS: There's a reason Allen Crabbe is a guy who spazzes between starting rosters and the waiver wire in fantasy leagues as quickly and erratically as one of Draymond Green's legs. This is a guy who provides you little to nothing in most […]

Patty Mills (PG, SA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 45% Yahoo! ANALYSIS: Patty Mills is already owned in almost every active 12-team league, but at only 45% owned on Yahoo, he's still out there in many not-so-competitive ones, plus a lot of 10-team leagues. He's been lights out for the Spurs— over the last […]

Jamal Crawford (SG/SF, LAC) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49% Yahoo! ANALYSIS: Jamal Crawford is an established scorer with three-point range. He is also a great free throw shooter and while he doesn't rebound well and is not much of a shot blocker, he can also get you a few assists. This season, he […]

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (SF, CHA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 53% Yahoo! ANALYSIS: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist has had his share of injury woes throughout his career.

Champ or Chump: Cameron Maybin

This time of year, it is easy to think only about the big names who are on the move, the Chris Sales and Andrew McCutchens of the world.

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: After starting off Week 14 red hot against the Raiders, Alex Smith cooled off as the game went on, finishing with 264 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

Colin Kaepernick (QB, SF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

Cameron Brate (TE, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 60% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brate’s 47 yards were actually Tampa Bay’s highest receiving total in Week 14, as the Bucs ground out a slugfest en route to a 16-11 victory over the Saints. While it was disappointing in a fantasy vacuum, the gameflow just destroyed Tampa Bay’s offensive fantasy value all […]

Ladarius Green (TE, PIT) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in All Leagues OWNED IN: 52% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: One might look at Green’s paltry 2-25-0 line and think that he plummeted back down to Earth after last week’s beautiful 6-110-1 contribution, but the fact is that Pittsburgh didn’t really have to do much else to win than hand it off to LeVeon Bell in Week […]
