Top 10 Dynasty First Basemen For 2016

If you are lucky enough to own either of the top two first basemen, consider yourself very fortunate. Paul Goldschmidt is arguably the best baseball player in the world, and Anthony Rizzo isn’t far behind.  Overall, there is plenty of talent available at 1B and the position is deep.  First base is a power bat […]

Markieff Morris (PF, PHX) - Value Play on FanDuel 1/19

Markieff Morris (vs. IND) - $4,900 I've been monitoring this Morris twin for the past few games, and I think this is the perfect time to start playing him. His minutes and usage are both trending upwards, and this Suns team needs a spark like the city of Buffalo needs a shovel. Morris commands the […]

Tyler Johnson (PG, MIA) and Hassan Whiteside (C, MIA) - Stack on FanDuel 1/19

Tyler Johnson (vs MIL) - $4,500 With Goran Dragic and Beno Udrih both out again on Tuesday, Tyler Johnson is left to run the point for the Heat. He played well on Sunday, and we should expect more of the same in what should be a pace-up game against the Bucks. Point guard is a […]

Kevin Durant (SF, OKC) - Big Money Play on FanDuel 1/19

Kevin Durant (at DEN) - $9,900 You have to use your money somewhere. This is as good a spot as any. The Nuggets will not have an answer for Durant on offense. This game could get out of hand in the second half, but three quarters should be enough for Durant to hit value on […]

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 1/19/16

Only four games on this Tuesday. It's such a shame after all of the fun we had during the day and into the night on Monday. Still, there should be plenty of fantasy points to go around. Let's see if we can find their source for this slate. In this article, I will be providing […]

NBA Guards: Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

The Waiver Wire is filled with lots of deeper cuts this week. Most of these players are owned in less than 20% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball leagues but have been producing at a much higher level than their ownership rate. All these guards are lesser known names who have been putting up better numbers than […]

Darrell Arthur (PF/C, DEN) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in for Short Term Value at PF/C OWNED IN: 12% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Since the start of 2016, Darrell Arthur has played a larger role for the Denver Nuggets. He has started three of the team's seven games, seeing 25.3 minutes per game. Over that span, he has 11.9 points per game, […]

Donald Sloan (PG/SG, BKN) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Since Jarrett Jack was ruled out for the season with a torn ACL, the Brooklyn Nets have struggled mightily to get consistent production from the point guard position. The bulk of the playing time was originally awarded to Shane Larkin, but Donald […]

Robin Lopez (C, NY) - Safe FanDuel Play on 1/18/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs PHI, $4,500 ANALYSIS: Robin Lopez only played 15 minutes in his last game against the Memphis Grizzlies, giving him basically no opportunity to produce in terms of fantasy points. He posted 11.4 fantasy points, which is terrible for his price tag. Aside from that game, he has over 20 fantasy points in eight […]

Taj Gibson (PF/C CHI) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED: 52% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues For years, Taj Gibson has been one of the more intriguing waiver-wire caliber players in fantasy basketball, primarily because owners always wanted to see what his production would look like if given a true opportunity at extended playing time. Throughout his career, […]

Aaron Gordon (SF, ORL) - Cheap FanDuel Tournament Play on 1/18/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at ATL, $3,900 ANALYSIS: Aaron Gordon was dealing with an injury, and he only played seven minutes in his last game against the Toronto Raptors. In those seven minutes, he posted slightly over one fantasy point. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that that is horrendous. However, Gordon should see closer […]

Carmelo Anthony (SF, NY) - FanDuel Tournament Play on 1/18/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs PHI, $8,700 ANALYSIS: Carmelo Anthony is questionable to play tonight against the Philadelphia 76ers, but he should finally be ready to return to the court. He sat out the last two games, and I'm sure he is itching to start scoring again. He posted 40 fantasy points or more in four of his […]

Elfrid Payton (PG, ORL) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/18/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at ATL, $5,700 ANALYSIS: After missing four straight games, Elfrid Payton returned to the lineup a couple of days ago against the Toronto Raptors. He played 20 minutes and only posted 8.2 fantasy points. He should be able to return to his pre-injury form tonight against the Atlanta Hawks, but do not use him […]

Chris Paul (PG, LAC) - Top FanDuel Play on 1/18/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs HOU, $9,400 ANALYSIS: Chris Paul did not look good at all in his last game against the Sacramento Kings, as he only posted 28.3 fantasy points in 27 minutes of action. He gets another great matchup tonight against the Houston Rockets, and he should be able to take advantage of that. He is […]

Donald Sloan (PG, BKN) - Value Play on DraftKings 1/18

Donald Sloan (at TOR, $4,500) I picked Sloan last week and I'm sticking by him this week. As long as Jarrett Jack remains sidelined, Sloan is a solid pick for his cheap price. He won't appear in the headlines but he's been doing just enough with his boost in minutes to please daily fantasy owners. And […]

Jonas Valanciunas (C, TOR) - Value Play on DraftKings 1/18

Jonas Valanciunas (vs BKN, $6,100 ) The Brooklyn Nets have handed over the most fantasy points to centers this season. The likes of Andre Drummond, Nikola Vucevic, and Robin Lopez (which of the three don't belong?) have recently found much success, equivalent to their price, against the Nets. The last time the Raptors played Brooklyn two weeks […]

LeBron James (SF, CLE) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 1/18

LeBron James (vs GS, $9,800) You already know The King has one thing on his mind come Monday: revenge. After losing in the NBA Championship last season to the Warriors, LeBron's fourth straight appearance to the ship, the Cavaliers dropped a close game in Golden State on Christmas. The scene now shifts to Cleveland for their second […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/18/16

There are ten games on Martin Luther King Day, six of which are being played before 7:00 PM Eastern time. So get your lineups in early while there is plenty of action to choose from. This should help a bit. Today's lineup features plenty of players hoping to benefit from their favorable matchup, a couple […]

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 1/18/16

FanDuel is all over the place with which games are involved in "early," "afternoon," and "late." I recommended some players from each slate. Good luck! In this article, I will be providing you with Daily NBA picks for DraftKings for 1/18/16. The picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and […]

Hassan Whiteside (C, MIA) - FanDuel Upside Play on 1/17/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at OKC, $7,800 ANALYSIS: It is important to note that should Dwight Howard go, he is absolutely the number one play on the board because he is playing the Lakers. That being said, I do not expect Howard to suit up- because let’s face it, he’s still Dwight Howard- so Whiteside will be the […]

Darrell Arthur (PF, DEN) - Sneaky FanDuel Play on 1/17/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs IND, $4,300 ANALYSIS: The Denver frontcourt is all sorts of a mess right now and Arthur is the guy that is cleaning up. With Nikola Jokic’s demotion to the bench, Arthur has taken the center position by storm and there is seemingly no end in sight. He has averaged 18 points, 9.5 boards […]

Julius Randle (PF, LAL) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/17/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs HOU, $5,500 ANALYSIS: There aren’t a whole lot of plays that jump out at the power forward position. Chris Bosh seems stable but really has a low ceiling, LaMarcus Aldridge’s minutes are confusing, and Dirk Nowitzki, though consistent, draws the vaunted Spurs defense. There is an opening against the Houston frontcourt. For starters, […]

C.J. Miles (SF, IND) - Great Tourney Play on FanDuel for 1/17/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at DEN, $4,400 ANALYSIS: Time to get back on Miles, especially if PG13 ends up not suiting up. Miles has seen decreased production over the last couple games mainly because his shot has refused to drop. Opponents are shooting 46% from the field against the Nuggets, which is seventh-best (or worst, from a Nuggets […]

Monta Ellis (SG, IND) - No-Brainer FanDuel Play on 1/17/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at DEN, $6,200 ANALYSIS: It seems like George Hill is looking increasingly more like a no go for Sunday, and there are even more grumblings that Paul George may see less minutes or not play at all as well. I would be surprised if PG13 does not go, but Hill appears to be a […]

Tony Parker (PG, SA) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/17/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs DAL, $6,100 ANALYSIS: If you caught some of that San Antonio-Cleveland game on Thursday night on TNT, you probably saw Gregg Popovich flag down Parker just to give the old point guard a ‘way to go.’ And with good cause. Parker has apparently outdone Ponce de Leon and found the fountain of youth. […]

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 1/17/16

Let’s be perfectly clear here: this is a basketball piece. Basketball is the name of the game when reading this, specifically daily fantasy plays on FanDuel. But I would be remiss if I did not mention this - Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go!! I realize two things just happened when you read this. […]
