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 […]

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 2/7/16

Evidently there is some sort of football game being played later in the day, so Sunday’s NBA four-game slate starts at 1pm EST. That’s 10am on the left coast. Mimosas and basketball sound really nice. In all honesty, please be safe and responsible in all your Superbowl party-ing and travels for the day. In this […]

NBA Under-Performing Stars: Shooting Guard Edition

The NBA All-Star Break is coming up this week, signifying the beginning of the home stretch for the fantasy season. Now is the time to make some aggressive moves if you're losing, or to load up on some injured players and potential playoff breakouts if you are winning. Buying low and selling high is extremely […]

Seattle Mariners Top MLB Prospects for 2016 Dynasty Leagues

The Seattle Mariners farm system is not terribly promising (sorry Seattle fans). They have wagered a lot on free agents like Nelson Cruz and Robinson Cano and have completely depleted their farm system. Though they have a solid rotation and a great core to build their offense around, there are several teams within their own division […]

Rick Porcello Can Thrive With Less Pressure In 2016

Remember when Rick Porcello came to baseball as a precocious 20-year-old who won 14 games for the Detroit Tigers? 2009 is so long ago. Now he's fresh off a season where he finished with a 9-15 record and an ugly 4.92 ERA. He probably spent some time staring at the mirror, wondering where that youngster […]

Danny Green (SG/SF, SA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 74% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Danny Green has largely been a three-and-d specialist for the San Antonio Spurs since earning playing time in 2011. However, he has shown flashes of being a legitimate scoring threat -- including his tremendous season last year. This season, he simply hasn't needed […]

P.J. Tucker (SG/SF, PHO) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: P.J. Tucker re-invented himself with the Phoenix Suns in 2012 at age 27, and has been a solid defensive specialist and bench scorer over the last four years. The Suns have been absolutely decimated by injuries this year, including losing forward T.J. […]

Jose Fernandez Remains a Top-Five Fantasy Pitcher in 2016

When healthy, Jose Fernandez has the type of stuff that most pitchers dream about. Fernandez stormed onto the major-league stage during his 2013 rookie season where he finished with a 12-6 record, a 2.19 ERA and a .98 WHIP. He also notched 187 strikeouts in 172.2 IP. Unfortunately, Tommy John surgery in 2014 shut Fernandez […]

Who Are the Biggest Potential Busts for Super Bowl 50?

Who are the biggest potential busts for Super Bowl 50? Look no further. Below I have highlighted three players who are Grade-A prime candidates for dudding it up in the year's biggest game. I've done my analysis, and shared my thoughts as to why these players may have a slow day at the office. Do you […]

Dee Gordon is Fantasy Baseball's Best Second Baseman for 2016

After a head-scratching trade sent him from the Los Angeles Dodgers to the Miami Marlins, Dee Gordon’s 2015 season was the best of any major-league second baseman. In just his second year as a big-league starter, Gordon finished with a .333 average, 205 hits, 24 doubles, eight triples and 58 stolen bases. His highly successful […]

Giancarlo Stanton is Still a Top-Five Fantasy Baseball Pick in 2016

Giancarlo Stanton was a monster in 2015 before a broken hand in late June shut his season down. Stanton, who was on track for an MVP-caliber year, had 27 HR and 67 RBI, both which led the NL, before suffering that broken hand. If Stanton could stay healthy for an entire season, he would consistently […]

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 […]
