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 […]

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

As quickly as Howard heats up, he gets injured and we aren't allowed to use him anymore. It's a sad day in fantasy, but it opens up a bit of value we need for this slate. In this article, I will be providing you with Daily NBA picks for DraftKings for 1/22/16. The picks will […]

Willie Cauley-Stein (C, SAC) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues for FG% and BLK OWNED IN: 17% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: The rookie out of Kentucky has bounced back after a stretch of fantasy irrelevance and is earning more minute from George Karl. Willie Cauley-Stein has played at least 20 minutes in two out of his last three games […]

Frank Kaminsky (PF/C, CHA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Former Badger Frank Kaminsky looks like he's coming into his own now for the Hornets. His scoring has been pretty inconsistent, but over the last four contests he's showing signs of stability. Kaminsky has scored in double digits and shot over […]

DeMarcus Cousins (C, SAC) - Elite FanDuel Play on 1/21/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ATL, $10,700 ANALYSIS: I really like the Hawks vs. Kings matchup tonight, and Cousins is reason number one. Last night he totaled a ridiculous 61.7 FanDuel points, and although it was against the Lakers, I'm rollin with Boogie when he's hot. He's reached 60 FanDuel points three times over his last ten games, and in that same […]

Ersan Ilyasova (PF, DET) - Cheap FanDuel Play on 1/21/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at NOP, $5,800 ANALYSIS: Ilyasova is certainly not a sexy name to roster in DFS, but tonight he has a great matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans. He's also been producing 5x value almost every night for the past week. In four out of his last six games, Ersan has totaled over 30 FanDuel points - […]

Paul Millsap (PF, ATL) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 1/21/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at SAC, $8,700 ANALYSIS: Millsap is one of my favorite DFS picks of the night. His Hawks will be playing a Kings team that plays even faster than they do, and plays little-to-no defense. Vegas thinks this game is going to be very close with a spread of only a point, which is even better […]

Danilo Gallinari (SF, DEN) - Safe FanDuel Play on 1/21/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs MEM, $7,100 ANALYSIS: Gallo has been playing pretty well of late, and has a juicy matchup against Memphis tonight. Never did I think that I would look forward to rostering guys against Memphis, but here we are. Last time Danilo faced off against Memphis this season he dropped 41.1 FanDuel points, tallying 29 real […]

Kawhi Leonard (SF, SA) - Great FanDuel Play on 1/21/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at PHO, $7,600 ANALYSIS: Another big name that's just priced too low. Kawhi is going against one of the worst defenses in the NBA, and I can roster him for under $8,000?! Sign me up. Even though this game will likely not be close, Kawhi will be a big reason why. He should be […]

J.J. Redick (SG, LAC) - FanDuel Upside Play on 1/21/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at CLE, $5,600 ANALYSIS: J.J. Redick is straight up on fire. Against Houston two nights ago, he went 9-of-12 from three point range on his way to a career high 40 points. I'm going with the hot hand in another big game against Cleveland tonight. This game is going to be close and high […]

Devin Booker (SG, PHO) - FanDuel Upside Play on 1/21/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs SAS, $4,300 ANALYSIS: Yes, I may have a fantasy crush on Devin Booker. He's on a bad team and has been given the green light to fire away on offense. Unfortunately, the Spurs have one of the best defenses in the NBA by any measure, but just based on pure volume Booker should easily […]

Kyrie Irving (PG, CLE) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/21/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs LAC, $7,200 ANALYSIS: His price is still just too low. With the potential to score 50 or more FanDuel points on any given night, I'll roll the dice on Kyrie getting his groove back tonight. This game should stay relatively close all night, and they'll need Kyrie's scoring if they want to keep up […]

Patrick Mills (PG, SA) - Cheap FanDuel Play on 1/21/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at PHX, $3,500 ANALYSIS: With Tony Parker already ruled out, Patty Mills will wind up being a very popular choice tonight. Priced at the FanDuel minimum, Mills should be able to fall into 5x value with all the minutes he'll get against the Phoenix Suns tonight. Although this game has the largest potential for a […]

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 1/21/16

Absolutely stellar slate of NBA games tonight. Only one game (SAS/PHX) has a spread of over two points. Don't worry about blowouts, starters should be playing all night! In this article, I will be providing you with Daily NBA picks for FanDuel for 1/21/16. The DFS lineup picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced […]

Conference Championships - DFS Lineup Busts & Avoids

Risky Daily Fantasy Football Playoffs Starts Brandon Lafell (WR, NE) I feel like at this point most people are painfully aware that Brandon Lafell is a risky weekly start in any situation. Lafell has struggled to balance his addiction to butterfingers and the need to catch the ball to keep his job for his entire career. Every week is […]

Myles Turner (C, IND) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Speculative Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Myles Turner has had two nice outings in a row for the Pacers. He hasn't been getting consistent playing time, but with starting center Ian Mahinmi spraining his ankle he's had an opportunity to play more minutes. The rookie will have […]

Gary Harris (SG, DEN) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Gary Harris is in the midst of a strong six-game run for the Nuggets, scoring double points in each of those contests. He has played 30+ minutes in those games, and should be able to continue his success as long as […]

DeMarcus Cousins (PF, SAC) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 1/21

DeMarcus Cousins (vs ATL, $10,600) Boogie is Boogie. The dude is averaging 58.4 DraftKings fantasy points over his last nine. Even more, he has been nailing triples like a guard out on the perimeter, shooting 15-for-33 from behind the arc during that span. If he isn’t the definition of locked in, I need to have […]

Marc Gasol (C, MEM) - Value Play on DraftKings 1/21

Marc Gasol (at DEN, $7,600) Regrettably, there is no 76er or Laker on the slate for Thursday, so we’ll have to attack the next best matchup. The Nuggets have been fried in the frontcourt over their last seven games, and Marc Gasol is not the exact medicine they need to cure what ails them. La […]

Jrue Holiday (PG, NO) - Value Play on DraftKings 1/21

Jrue Holiday (vs DET, $6,500) Injuries, injuries, injuries. Tyreke Evans is still somewhat banged up and Eric Gordon will be out for four weeks, so someone will have to pick up the production that the Pelicans will need. Although Norris Cole will most likely start and is cheaper, Holiday is the safer option for cash […]

Chris Paul (PG, LAC) and Jamal Crawford (SG, LAC) - Stack on DraftKings 1/21

Chris Paul (at CLE, $9,800) In terms of standout, must plays at the point guard position, there really isn’t any. Life would be easier if the Atlanta Hawks point guard situation was stabilized, but c’est la vie. As it is now, Paul is the safest option at the point on Thursday’s slate. The dude has […]
