Aaron Brooks (PG, CHI) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add for a Short Term Boost at PG OWNED: 4% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues It's never good news when you hear the words "Derrick Rose" and "left knee" in the same sentence. The oft-injured former MVP left Tuesday night's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, saying something "just didn't feel right."  The current […]

DeMarcus Cousins (C, SAC) - Top Option on FanDuel for 1/13/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs NO, $10,600 ANALYSIS: DMC has been on fire over the past week, exceeding value in his last five games, four times eclipsing 50 fantasy points and twice eclipsing 60. On a night where there are lots of value plays at other positions and the options at center don't look to appealing - whether […]

Cody Zeller (PF, CHA) - Value Play on FanDuel for 1/13/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs CHR, $4,900 ANALYSIS: While my projection models still project Zeller to have a pretty low floor (6-8 fantasy points), his production has been steady recently and more importantly for tonight, he draws a nice matchup. In his last eight games, Zeller has only played less than 28 minutes once, and that was in […]

Andrew Wiggins (SF, MIN) - FanDuel Tournament Play on 1/13/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at HOU, $6,500 ANALYSIS: Due to the facts that his fantasy point totals can be up and down and he (normally) relies heavily on hitting shots to score on FanDuel, I'm not confident in Wiggins enough to play him in cash tonight. That said, I love the price tag and the potential for a […]

Klay Thompson (SG, GSW) - FanDuel Bargain Play on 1/13/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at DEN, $7,600 ANALYSIS: The Splash Brothers have an ideal matchup tonight in a projected high scoring game against a Denver team that doesn't do much to slow down opposing guards. For the production I'm expecting out of Klay tonight, even with a price tag above 7K, I'm considering him a bargain. I normally […]

Tyreke Evans (PG, NO) - Strong FanDuel Play on 1/13/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at SAC, $7,800 ANALYSIS: Tyreke is back to his drive-to-the-basket-at-all-costs ways, and as a result, his fantasy production has skyrocketed after taking a few dips in early and mid December. Not only has he recorded 36 fantasy points or more in each of his last four games, he's playing a lot of minutes, which helps […]

Amir Johnson (PF, BOS) - DraftKings Sleeper on 1/13/16

Amir Johnson (vs IND, $4,900) Johnson has surprisingly been playing well for his price recently. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 12.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.6 blocks per game. His minutes tend to fluctuate each night, which is a bit worrisome, but he could provide great value tonight. He gets a good matchup […]

Damian Lillard (PG, POR) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/13/16

Damian Lillard (vs UTA, $9,200) Lillard gets a bit overlooked because of other options at point guard, such as Westbrook and Curry, but he also has tremendous upside. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 27.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 8.8 assists, and 1.8 steals per game. He has scored 57.75 and 69.75 fantasy points in his […]

Kristaps Porzingis (PF, NYK) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/13/16

Kristaps Porzingis (at BKN, $7,000) Porzingis stated before the draft that his favorite part about the NBA is that he would have a gym that he could practice in every day. Well, he must be putting in the extra time because he has continuously gotten better and better as the season progresses. Last night, he scored a […]

Rams Heading Back to Cali The St. Louis.....err...I mean the Los Angeles Rams are heading back to California.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/13/16

There are a plethora of elite point guards in the NBA, including Russell Westbrook and Stephen Curry, but everyone seems to overlook Damian Lillard a bit.

Brad Miller (SS, TB) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

TARGET: 245 CURRENT ADP: 277 ANALYSIS: Steamer only projects Miller to rack up 475 plate appearances, though I really can’t see Tim Beckham pushing Miller out of the way that much. Last year for Seattle he hit 11 bombs and swiped 13 bags in 497 PAs. Safeco Field was 27th in Park Factor for runs in 2015, whereas […]

Jon Edwards (RP, SD) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

TARGET: ~375 CURRENT ADP: --- ANALYSIS: Those dashes don’t mean that I’m too lazy to look his ADP up, he straight up doesn’t have one. The last RP listed is the Twins’ Alex Meyer with an ADP of 712, just so you get an idea of how available this guy is. As you may or may not be […]

Trevor Ariza (SF, HOU) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/12/16

Trevor Ariza (at MEM, $5,200) The Memphis Grizzlies are no longer a scary team. They rank in the middle of the pack in defensive efficiency, opponent field goal percentage, and are allowing the third most three point attempts per game. On the other side of the ball, Ariza is starting to heat up as he has gone […]

Carmelo Anthony (SF, NYK) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/12/16

Carmelo Anthony (vs BOS, $8,500) So it appears Carmelo Anthony has decided to unleash his inner point guard this season. In his last outing, Melo passed out eight assists to go along with his 10 boards and 24 points. You’d have to go back all the way to December 18 to find a game in which Melo […]

Tyreke Evans (SG, NO) - Solid DraftKings Play on 1/12/16

Tyreke Evans (at LAL, $8,100) In 18 games played this season, Evans has played at least 30 minutes in all but three- all blowout losses to Boston, Phoenix and Orlando, respectively. Something tells me the Lakers will not be blowing out the Pelicans on Tuesday, which means Evans should easily push solid playing time yet again. Evans […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/11/16

With eight games on the schedule, there is plenty of opportunity to get back into playing in those safe […]

Mario Chalmers (PG, MEM) - Value Play on FanDuel 1/12

Mario Chalmers (vs. HOU) - $5,000 Michael Conley is still questionable with his Achilles injury after a limited session yesterday. If he sits once again, Chalmers gets to take on the Houston Rockets. The Rockets have been struggling to contain scoring point guards this year, and their up and down tempo will surely do wonders […]

LeBron James (SF, CLE) - Big Money Play on FanDuel 1/12

LeBron James (at DAL) - $10,200 In an effort to avoid potential blowouts for the Thunder and the Pacers, James seems like the best place to spend big money at SF tonight. The Mavericks should be able to keep this game close, and when that happens, The King takes over. He’s been a triple double […]
