DeMarcus Cousins (C, SAC) - No Brainer FanDuel Play on 1/23/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs IND, $11,100 ANALYSIS: DeMarcus Cousins should be automatic at this point. He has over 50 fantasy points in seven of his last nine games. In those games, he has over 60 fantasy points three times. He gets a great matchup against an injured Indiana Pacers squad tonight. Myles Turner has been playing a […]

Jabari Parker (PF, MIL) - FanDuel Value Play

MATCHUP/VALUE: at NO, $5,100 ANALYSIS: Jabari Parker has really stepped up for the Milwaukee Bucks, and I expect him to continue to play well tonight against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Pelicans are going to score rather easily against the Bucks, as they are not a great offensive squad, but the Bucks should score rather […]

LeBron James (SF/PF, CLE) - Strong FanDuel Play on 1/23/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs CHI, $9,600 ANALYSIS: The Cleveland Cavaliers broke an NBA record for firing their head coach. They were the best team in the league to ever fire their coach mid-season, so LeBron James really has something to prove tonight. He gets a tough matchup against the Chicago Bulls, but he should really come to […]

Alex Len (C, PHO) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Suns center Alex Len was used sporadically for much of the first half of the month before missing three games with a hand injury. Understandably, he was jettisoned by many fantasy owners. However, since returning from his hand injury, he's gained new […]

Louis Williams (SG, LAL) - FanDuel 50/50 Play on 1/23/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at POR, $5,800 ANALYSIS: Speaking of great upside, Lou Williams is playing against the Portland Trailblazers tonight. He has not broken the 30 fantasy points mark in four straight games, but prior to that, he had over 30 fantasy points in three straight games. In one of those games, against the Oklahoma City Thunder, […]

Damian Lillard (PG, POR) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 1/23/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs LAL, $8,700 ANALYSIS: Damian Lillard has struggled over his last couple of games, but he should be able to turn things around tonight against the Los Angeles Lakers. Last game, he posted over 30 fantasy points, but prior to that, he scored 25.4 and 17.4 fantasy points against the Washington Wizards and Philadelphia […]

NBA Trade Deadline: Centers Who Are Better off Traded

Early Fantasy Baseball Mock Draft: Third Round Breakdown

The lineup (in draft order): Jacob Bogardus, Brad Johnson, Alex Brock, Harris Yudin, Max Petrie, Josh Leonard, Ross Williamson, Andrew Miller (from The Fantasy Fix), Nick Mariano (myself), Tom Bellucco, Brian Dunshee (also from The Fantasy Fix), and Edward Suletan. Scroll to the bottom for an image of the draftboard. We put together a traditional 5x5 […]

Lebron James (SF, CLE) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/23/16

LeBron James (vs CHI, $9,700) LeBron James hasn’t been playing all that well over the last 10 days, but he is coming off a huge game against the Clippers. He has flashed tremendous upside, as he has the ability to triple double on any given night, and he gets a great matchup against a weak Chicago defense […]

Dennis Schroder (PG, ATL) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/23/16

Dennis Schroder (at PHO, $4,900) Teague and Schroder are splitting minutes in Atlanta, and Schroder is cheaper, which is why he gets the write up. This game could also be a quick blowout, and the Hawks will likely give Schroder more minutes if that’s the case. He’s been playing well over the last 10 days, as he’s averaging […]

DeMarcus Cousins (PF, SAC) DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/23/16

DeMarcus Cousins (vs IND, $10,700) Boogie is on a roll right now, and there’s no stopping him. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 29.4 points, 14.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 blocks, and 1.2 steals per game. He get a great matchup against the Pacers, who he dominated for 51.5 fantasy points earlier this season. Cousins plays big […]

Wille Cauley-Stein (C, SAC) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/23/16

Willie Cauley-Stein (vs IND, $4,300) There are a few great elite options tonight, which means you’re going to have to find a few value players, and WCS fits the bill. He recently returned from injury, which is why his price is so low, but he has played 29 and 30 minutes in his last two games, and […]

Cleveland Indians Top MLB Prospects for 2016 Dynasty Leagues

If the Cleveland Indians were playing in any other division, you could consider it a lock for them to win. They have a great, young rotation that possesses a lot of elite strikeout stuff. They also have youngsters like Francisco Lindor and Michael Brantley helping to carry their lineup with other veterans like Jason Kipnis […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/23/16

The NBA really needs to do something about their injury report policy. I understand a player being doubtful and still playing, but Dwyane Wade was ruled out last night before warming up and playing just before the game started. Making a stricter injury report would help DFS players tremendously. In this article, I will be […]

Early Mock Draft 2016: Analyzing the Second Round

If you haven't read the first round analysis yet, you should definitely do that! Click that and then come right back here. I'll know. For those of you that want to view the draft board in all of it's glory, here it is: As a reminder, here's the lineup: Jacob Bogardus, Brad Johnson, Alex Brock, […]

Aaron Gordon (SF, ORL) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/22/16

Aaron Gordon (vs CHA, $4,400) The Magic hinted that they would change the starting lineup for tonight, which most likely means Aaron Gordon will start at power forward for Channing Frye. Gordon has played at least 27 minutes in three of his last four games, and he’s averaging 27.1 fantasy points per game in those three games. A […]

Carmelo Anthony (SF, NYK) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/22/16

Carmelo Anthony (vs LAC, $8,300) I’m going to continue to use Melo until DraftKings raises his price a bit. He’s entirely too cheap, as he’s averaging 22.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 6.8 assists per game over the last 10 days, including a game in which he only played 18 minutes. He has been shooting the ball over […]

James Harden (SG, HOU) & Terrence Jones (PF, HOU) - DraftKings Stack on 1/22/16

James Harden (vs MIL, $10,000) Harden has really been struggling recently, but he’s coming off a huge triple double, in which he scored 33 points with 17 rebounds, and 14 assists. In that game, Dwight Howard was injured early on, which gave Harden the opportunity for more rebounds. Tonight, Howard will be out again, and Harden will likely handle […]

Terrence Jones (PF, HOU) - Value Play on FanDuel 1/22

Terrence Jones (vs MIL, $4,500)  Terrence Jones is going to play big minutes for the Houston Rockets tonight, as Dwight Howard is injured. Ty Lawson basically took out his own teammate, but that is for another conversation. Jones gets a great matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks, and he should be able to crush value. Jones […]

Jonas Valanciunas (C, TOR) - Value Play on FanDuel 1/22

Jonas Valanciunas (vs MIA, $6,300)  Jonas Valanciunas is the best worst center in the entire league. I'm not kidding. He posted over 30 fantasy points three of his last four games, and he is double-doubling on a consistent basis. He only plays right around 30 minutes for the Toronto Raptors per game, but he does […]

Russell Westbrook (PG, OKC) - Big Money Play on FanDuel 1/22

Russell Westbrook (at DAL, $10,700) Russell Westbrook is simply the best point guard in the league for fantasy purposes. Stephen Curry is definitely making a run right now, but he is not nearly as consistent as Westbrook is, and he is usually overpriced. Westbrook is always priced right around where he should be. In his […]

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 1/22/16

Slow and steady wins the race, right? Well, Dirk Nowitzki plays tonight... In this article, I will be providing you with Daily NBA picks for DraftKings for 1/22/16.
