NBA Under-Performing Stars: Shooting Guard Edition

It's a new year but some shooting guards are still stuck in their old ways. Since we last discussed struggling shooting guards, the four players on the first list have continued to do much of the same. Danny Green has put up very little production. Even though he got hot on Saturday night against a […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: J.J.

[…]

Cody Zeller (C, CHA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: With Al Jefferson sidelined for at least six weeks with a knee injury, Cody Zeller has seen more action at his natural position of center. In the month of December -- during which Jefferson has played just two games -- Zeller has scored […]

Al Horford (C, ATL) - Strong DraftKings Play on 1/3/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at NYK, $6,600 ANALYSIS: The Knicks have dropped five of their last six games, including one to the Hawks where Horford posted 19 points, seven assists, six rebounds, two steals, and two blocks. The center is coming off a season high 30 points Tuesday night, and a 58.5 fantasy point performance. New York has […]

Larry Nance Jr. (PF, LAL) - Cheap DraftKings Play on 1/3/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs PHO, $4,100 ANALYSIS: Nance Jr. is the kind of guy that'll do just enough, in his average of 20.8 minutes a night, to positively shake a lineup for his low price. He's coming off a season high 14 rebounds, and has posted 20+ fantasy points in three of his last four, including a […]

Nikola Mirotic (PF, CHI) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/3/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at TOR, $5,000 ANALYSIS: In Mirotic's last four games, the power forward has tallied over 40 fantasy points twice, but also posted an embarrassing 8.0 and 12.25 in the other two. This is an intriguing matchup including two teams separated by half a game in the standings, surely to highlight Sunday's card with its competitiveness. It's […]

Carmelo Anthony (SF, NY) - Elite DraftKings Play on 1/3/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ATL, $8,300 ANALYSIS: The Knicks face Atlanta for a second time in a week, and will likely be in another catchup game against the first place Hawks. When the two last played, Melo scored 18 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, good for 40.5 fantasy points. With the exception of Kristaps Porzingis, the Knicks do […]

T.J. Warren (SF, PHO) - Upside DraftKings Play on 1/3/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at LAL, $5,100 ANALYSIS: The Suns have lost seventh straight, and are really beginning to feel the weight of Bledsoe's injury, inviting others to step up, or attempt to, in their star's absence. Warren is the most recent to do so, dropping 29 points, grabbing nine rebounds, three assists, and four steals in 41 […]

Allen Crabbe (SG, POR) - Cheap DraftKings Play on 1/3/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at DEN, $4,800 ANALYSIS: Crabbe has filled in nicely for the injured Damian Lillard. In all six games starting for Lillard, Crabbe has played over 30 minutes and has scored in double digits. He is another cheap option, facing a Nuggets team that allow the eighth most points a night in the NBA. Crabbe […]

Lou Williams (SG, LAL) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/3/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs PHO, $5,400 ANALYSIS: Williams has seen the floor more than any other Laker in four straight games, averaging well over 3o minutes played in that span. He'll also likely be assigned the responsibility of guarding Brandon Knight, who has seemed to have lost his way a bit since the injury to Eric Bledsoe. I'm […]

Goran Dragic (PG, MIA) - Value Play on DraftKings 1/3

Goran Dragic (at WAS, $5,800) Dragic draws John Wall on Sunday, who has posted eight straight double-doubles. Wall should be the obvious choice here but Dragic plays for a good Heat team, now up for the challenge against one of the league's best point guards, and is about $4,000 cheaper. Dragic won't put up the same […]

Kyle Lowry (PG, TOR) - Strong DraftKings Play on 1/3/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs CHI, $8,100 ANALYSIS: In a loss to the Bulls Friday night, Lowry posted an impressive line in 40 minutes of court time; 28 points, nine assists, six rebounds, and three steals, equating to 55 fantasy points. The Raptors square off against Chicago again on Sunday in what should be another competitive contest. Lowry […]

Carmelo Anthony (SF, NYK) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 1/3

Carmelo Anthony (vs ATL, $8,300) The Knicks face Atlanta for a second time in a week, and will likely be in another catchup game against the first place Hawks. When the two last played, Melo scored 18 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, good for 40.5 fantasy points. With the exception of Kristaps Porzingis, the Knicks do not […]

Goran Dragic (PG, MIA) - DraftKings Value Play for 1/3/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs at WAS, $5,800 ANALYSIS: Dragic draws John Wall on Sunday, who has posted eight straight double-doubles. Wall should be the obvious choice here but Dragic plays for a good Heat team, now up for the challenge against one of the league's best point guards, and is about $4,000 cheaper. Dragic won't put up […]

Larry Nance Jr. (PF, LAL) - Value Play on DraftKings 1/3

Larry Nance Jr. (vs PHO, $4,100) Nance Jr. is the kind of guy that'll do just enough, in his average of 20.8 minutes a night, to positively shake a lineup for his low price. He's coming off a season high 14 rebounds, and has posted 20+ fantasy points in three of his last four, including a […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/3/16

Sunday's slate consists of five games, all of which should be competitive. Teams face off against each other that play with similar styles or that both give up a ton of points a night, resulting in, hopefully, big fantasy nights for multiple players. This lineup is very matchup-driven, but not necessarily focusing around players that can […]

DeAndre Jordan (C, LAC) - Solid FanDuel Play for 1/2/16

DeAndre Jordan (vs PHI, $7,800) Jordan is easily the best center option on the board tonight against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers are absolutely terrible on defense. However, Ish Smith is keeping games close for them, so the Clippers may have to play their starters at least three quarters. Jordan just posted 45 fantasy points in 36 minutes against […]

DeAndre Jordan (C, LAC) - Safe DraftKings Play on 1/2/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs PHI, $7,800 ANALYSIS: Jordan has been playing well without Blake Griffin, as he’s averaging 11.7 points, 13.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.8 blocks per game. He gets a great matchup against the Sixers, who have one of the worst defenses in the NBA, and Jordan should easily be able to dominate them. He […]

TJ Warren (SF, PHO) - FanDuel Value Play for 1/2/16

TJ Warren (at SAC, $4,600) TJ Warren absolutely exploded in his last game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He scored 29 points, grabbed 9 rebounds, assisted the ball 3 times, stole the ball 4 times, and posted 52.3 fantasy points. Warren should continue to play a lot of minutes for the Suns, and he should continue […]

Cody Zeller (PF, CHA) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/2/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs OKC, $5,000 ANALYSIS: Zeller has been heating up recently, as he’s averaging 10.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 1.8 steals per game over the last 10 days. He’s playing big minutes because of the injuries to Al Jefferson and Spencer Hawes. Hawes could play tonight, but Jefferson is out. Zeller will likely still play […]

Draymond Green (PF, GSW) - Elite DraftKings Option on 1/2/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs DEN, $9,600 ANALYSIS: Green is coming off another triple double, and he has been a great fantasy player all season. He displayed his full arsenal of skills in his last game with Stephen Curry out, as he scored 10 points with 11 rebounds, 16 assists, 2 blocks, and 2 steals. He’s a triple […]

Devin Booker (SG, PHO) - FanDuel Value Pick for 1/2/16

Devin Booker (at SAC, $3,600) Devin Booker is playing solid minutes for the Phoenix Suns right now with Eric Bledsoe out of the lineup. In his last game, he played 39 minutes against the Oklahoma City Thunder, posting almost 20 fantasy points. In 39 minutes on the court, 20 fantasy points is fairly unimpressive, but his price […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo (SF, MIL) - DraftKings Upside Play on 1/2/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at MIN, $6,600 ANALYSIS: Alphabet is starting to heat up, and he has a great fantasy ceiling when he’s hot. In his last two games, he has scored 34.5 and 42.5 fantasy points. He gets a great matchup against a fast paced Wolves team tonight, who have struggled on defense at times this season. […]

Kawhi Leonard (SF, SA) - Elite DraftKings Play on 1/2/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs HOU, $8,500 ANALYSIS: Leonard has been playing well on a per minute basis recently, as he’s averaging 19.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 2.5 steals in 33.5 minutes per game. He gets a great matchup against the Rockets tonight, who have been the worst team in the NBA against small forwards this […]
