Shabazz Muhammad (SG/SF, MIN) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add for High Upside with Efficient Percentages OWNED: 3% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues Lineup changes abound in Minnesota as the Timberwolves start taking an eye to the future in another year as non-contenders. Kevin Martin is in the permanent "DNP-Coach's Decision" zone until the Wolves find a trade partner to take him […]

Jeff Withey (C, UTA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add for short term REB, BLK, and STL. OWNED: 23% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues With Derrick Favors currently hobbled with back spasms and Rudy Gobert still with no timetable for his return from a left knee injury, Jeff Withey has been playing big minutes for the Utah Jazz and putting up some […]

FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks (Wildcard Round): Russell Wilson, Antonio Brown, Jordan Reed

It's the playoffs, everyone! A great time of the year for fans who have teams in it, and a great time of the year for fans who don't, but are wishing that their friends' teams lose. I'm a Green Bay fan, and while the season hasn't gone the way I was hoping, they made the […]

Paul Millsap (PF, ATL) - DraftKings Smart and Safe Play on 1/5/16

Paul Millsap (at NY, $8,100) After a couple rough games, Millsap has bounced back like a bully on the school yard. Over Atlanta’s last four games, Millsap has averaged 21.75/9/4.75/1.75/3.25, which is good enough for 49.6 DKP per game during that span. Silly. He should have no problem attacking Kristaps Porzingis and all of his defensive inefficiency.

Carmelo Anthony (SF, NYK) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/5/16

Carmelo Anthony (at ATL, $8,200) Melo has the highest floor of any swing/small forward on the slate for Tuesday. Sure, picking him comes with some baggage. He is having his worst shooting year of his career since his rookie season and his usage rate is the lowest it has been in 10 seasons. Still, I’ll have no […]

Shaun Livingston (PG, GS) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/5/16

Shaun Livingston (at LAL, $4,500) Although I am not an NBA coach (yet), I don’t think there is any way the Warriors will play Steph Curry. He is listed as questionable as of this writing, but Golden State will be on the back end of two straight and will most likely be favored by about a million […]

Wesley Matthews (SG, DAL) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/5/16

Wesley Matthews (vs SAC, $5,000) Sacramento has allowed a blistering 45 DKPPG to opposing shooting guards over the last five games, which ranks them last out of every team during that span. Matthews hasn’t exactly been lighting it up over his last ten games, but he has shown some flashes of getting back into the groove as […]

Louis Williams (SG, LAL) and Larry Nance Jr. (PF, LAL) - Stack on FanDuel 1/5

Louis Williams (vs. GS) - $5,700 Williams isn't always the safest play, but it seems like he's starting to get in a rhythm again recently. His minutes have been in the mid-30s, and he's getting more shots as of late. The Lakers should be trailing for most if not all of this game. That should […]

J.J. Barea (PG, DAL) - Value Play on FanDuel 1/5

J.J. Barea (vs. SAC) - $4,600 Deron Williams' reoccurring hamstring injury doesn't bode well for his status in Tuesday's game. If he plays, point guard is a mess. However, if he sits, I like Barea to have another strong outing. The Kings will push the pace, giving Barea plenty of chances to reach a double-double […]

Draymond Green (PF, GS) - Big Money Play on FanDuel 1/5

Draymond Green (at LAL) - $9,700 I'm not sure there's a price that I wouldn't pay for this guy right now. I would say I'm worried about the blowout and all that, but he's getting triple doubles in three quarters. With or without Curry. Are you kidding me? It would be wise to play Green […]

J.J. Barea (PG, DAL) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/5/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs. SAC) - $4,600 ANALYSIS: Deron Williams' reoccurring hamstring injury doesn't bode well for his status in Tuesday's game. If he plays, point guard is a mess. However, if he sits, I like Barea to have another strong outing. The Kings will push the pace, giving Barea plenty of chances to reach a double-double […]

Rajon Rondo (PG, SAC) - Elite FanDuel Play on 1/5/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at DAL) - $7,800 ANALYSIS: I don't love Stephen Curry tonight. Fresh off an injury, the first thing the Warriors will do if they get a sizable lead is bench their star. So, Rondo becomes the premier point guard of the night. Aside from the nice tear that he's on lately, he gets to […]

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 1/5/16

Only four games on the schedule tonight, and the matchups are brutal compared to all of the action we had last night. We should have one huge blowout, a couple of defensive slug fests, and a revenge game for a big time player. As if that wasn't enough, injury concerns are scattered throughout the slate. […]

Larry Nance, Jr. (PF, LAL) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add for Rebounds and High FG% OWNED: 12% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues Larry Nance Jr. may never be able to escape his famous last name, but at least it makes him pop off the page almost as much as his college career at Wyoming did. Nance was a late first round pick […]

NBA Guards: Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

The waiver wire is filled with guards getting opportunities because of someone getting injured. Injuries are the number one way fantasy seasons are won and lost. The most recent major injury comes in the form of Jarrett Jack going down for the season with a torn ACL. There is a chance no one steps up […]

Trey Burke (PG, UTA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED: 48% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues Trey Burke has struggled to transition his college-level superstardom to the NBA in his brief career, which has had its series of ups-and-downs since being selected in the top 10 back in 2013. At times, he has overcome his undersized frame by showing […]

Andre Drummond (C, DET) - Must-Play on DraftKings for 1/4/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ORL, $9,200 ANALYSIS: No matter his price, Drummond is always worth the nod. The center has 29 double-doubles in 34 games this season, and has failed to reached double-digit rebounds in only three. His average of 16.1 rebounds a night is higher than what most players average scoring a night. Drummond's value is […]

John Henson (PF, MIL) - DraftKings Sleeper Play on 1/4/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs SA, $4,100 ANALYSIS: Henson has posted 20+ fantasy points in four of Milwaukee's last six games. The former Tar Heel plays just enough behind starter Jabari Parker to produce efficiently for his cheap price. The Bucks draw the Southwest Division leading Spurs, in what will most likely be a lopsided affair, showcasing plenty […]

Draymond Green (PF, GSW) - Elite DraftKings Play on 1/4/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs CHA, $9,900 ANALYSIS: If Green's price was five-figures, I probably wouldn't pick him. Okay, so maybe that's a lie, but the Warriors starting power forward enters Monday high off of a 86.75 fantasy point performance. It's unlikely that Green will duplicate his stats from Saturday but he is always a triple-double threat and […]

Jae Crowder (SF, BOS) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/4/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at BK, $6,200 ANALYSIS: Crowder will also benefit, as those on Golden State, of openings on the court, as other Celtics in the starting lineup are likely to be sidelined. Avery Bradley has officially been ruled out of Monday night's game, while Isaiah Thomas is the only other potent scoring threat on Boston. Crowder […]

P.J. Hairston (SF, CHA) - Cheap DraftKings Play on 1/4/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at GS, $3,400 ANALYSIS: This is another handcuff situation, where Hairston is tied to the status of Nicolas Batum. Batum is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the defending champions, and if he doesn't dress, Hairston will likely start in his place again. In relief of Batum Saturday, Hairston scored 10 points and […]

Klay Thompson (SG, GSW) - Strong DraftKings Play on 1/4/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs CHA, $7,800 ANALYSIS: Thompson is the second of four players on this list that could benefit from the absence of Stephen Curry. If Curry sits, the Warriors will look to their second-leading scorer for most of the production. Thompson is entering Monday riding two straight games of 40+ fantasy points, and three out of […]

Rodney Hood (SG, UTA) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/4/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs HOU, $5,500 ANALYSIS: Hood is coming off a season best 47.5 fantasy points, in his season high 32 point performance against the Grizzlies Saturday. It was the second straight game Hood broke out for 40+ fantasy points, and now faces a very generous defensive team in the Houston Rockets. Not saying that Hood […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/4/16

Injuries will plague teams all season. There's no avoiding that. But from injuries emerge opportunities, for unlikely candidates, and for those who share the spotlight. Tonight's lineup features several defending champions looking to pick up the slack in the absence of the NBA's best player, along with a center who eats double-doubles for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, […]

Gordon Hayward (SF, UTA) - Solid FanDuel Play on 1/4/16

Gordon Hayward (vs HOU, $7,500) Gordon Hayward is playing better in Utah so far this season, so being at home will definitely help his case. He also gets a fantastic matchup against the Houston Rockets, who are one of the worst teams in the league against the small forward position. Against the Portland Trailblazers, he scored over […]
