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 […]

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

It’s been a weird couple of days in the DFS world. Players needed what seemed like 400 points on Tuesday just to clear in 50/50s, while Wednesday night allowed DFSers to skate through cash games with a cool 240 points. Not really sure what to think by that, other than we’re doing alright here at […]

Boston Red Sox Top MLB Prospects for 2016 Dynasty Leagues

The Boston Red Sox 2015 season did not quite go as planned after big splashes in the previous offseason, but recent additions to the team and an infusion of young talent should help them to be competitive again in 2016. The Red Sox made a big splash first by acquiring Craig Kimbrel from the Padres […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/20/16

The 11-game Wednesday slate begins at 7:00 EST, with Sixers at Magic and Heat at Wizards kicking things off tonight. As of this writing, Vegas is projecting quite a few games to be relatively high scoring, which, by my definition, applies to any game with an over/under at 205 or higher. The most attractive games […]

Jonas Valanciunas (C, TOR) - FanDuel Upside Play on 1/20/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs BOS, $6,100 ANALYSIS: Relatively speaking, Valanciunas has been somewhat of a monster lately, totaling 33 fantasy points or more in three of his last five games, despite never eclipsing 30 minutes in those contests. He's exceeded his price implied value in eight of his last 1o games, by an impressive margin of 5.29 […]
