Hassan Whiteside (C, MIA) - Risk/Reward DraftKings Play on 12/26

MATCHUP/VALUE: at ORL, $7,200 ANALYSIS: This pick comes with a bit of risk because of the way Whiteside acted on Christmas. He was extremely upset about being benched at the end of the game to say the least, and his actions resulted in his benching in overtime, as well. Earlier in the season, the Heat […]

Kevin Love (PF, CLE) - Safe DraftKings Play 12/26

MATCHUP/VALUE: at POR, $7,900 ANALYSIS: If everyone would quickly remember back to Love’s days in Minnesota and how great of a rebounder he is, you know why I love him tonight. I continue to take great rebounders against Portland, who has struggled rebounding the ball this season. Love is coming off a huge game, in […]

Jae Crowder (SF, BOS) - DraftKings Value Play 12/26

MATCHUP/VALUE: at DET, $5,900 ANALYSIS: Crowder is playing with a great amount of confidence right now, and it’s showing in the box score. Over the last three games, he’s averaging 20.3 points and 10.7 rebounds per game. He has been playing more power forward with Amir Johnson hurt, and he’ll make a great play in […]

Nicolas Batum (SF, CHA) - Strong DraftKings Tournament Option 12/26

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs MEM, $7,200 ANALYSIS: Batum is another player who has flashed tremendous upside, but he has also flashed a bit of risk. In his last four games, he has scored 35+ fantasy points twice and less than 21 fantasy points twice. He gets a good matchup against the Grizzlies, who have really struggled against […]

Kyle Korver (SG, ATL) - Cheap Tournament Play for 12/26

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs NY, $4,200 ANALYSIS: Korver has been playing fairly well heading into the Christmas break, as he was averaging 10.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game over the last 10 days. He gets a matchup against the Knicks tonight, who have struggled on defense at times this season. Korver has flashed great […]

Eric Bledsoe (SG, PHO) - Solid DraftKing Play on 12/26

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs PHI, $8,300 ANALYSIS: Bledsoe was on fire, but he has really cooled off over the last couple of games. He had a short break because of Christmas, and he gets a great matchup against the Sixers tonight. Ish Smith will likely receive minutes tonight at point guard for the Sixers, and he very […]

Ish Smith (PG, PHI) - Value Play on DraftKings on 12/26

MATCHUP/VALUE: @ PHO, $4,500 ANALYSIS: Smith comes with a ton of risk tonight because his minutes are far from guaranteed. He does know the Sixers offense, as he played with them last season, and he should be able to steal minutes at point guard. He flashed big play ability with the Pelicans earlier this season, […]

Ish Smith (PG, PHI) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Ish Smith has found yet another new home. He is returning to the Philadelphia 76ers after an up-and-down start to the season with the New Orleans Pelicans. In late November, the 27-year-old point guard had a stretch of seven consecutive games with double-digit […]

Kelly Olynyk (C, BOS) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Kelly Olynyk has become a staple in the frontcourt of a Boston Celtics team that surprisingly sits three games above .500 as of Christmas day. His minutes have increased as of late, and his 16.9 player efficiency rating is the second best on […]

Luol Deng (SF, MIA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 58% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: After being forced out of action for a few games due to a bad hammy, Luol Deng has been solid since his return two weeks ago. If you've read my other pieces, you know I'm a total sucker for players who can […]

Brandon Jennings (PG, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 34% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: So usually I write about players who have been excelling of late around the league. This time though I'm going talk about a prime stash candidate in Brandon Jennings. 11 months ago, Jennings ruptured his left Achilles tendon, but he is finally […]

Jeremy Lin (PG/SG, CHA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 41% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Linsanity!! Man it was fun to watch Jeremy Lin go berserk when he was the Knicks three years ago. Unfortunately for Lin, he has never been quite able to replicate that level of success in the seasons that followed. However, we will […]

James Harden (SG, HOU) - Big Money Play on FanDuel 12/26

James Harden (at NO, $10,600) James Harden is one of the best guard options every time he steps onto the court, but tonight is special for the Houston Rockets' shooting guard. He faces off against the New Orleans Pelicans, who are one of the worst teams in the league against the opposing shooting guard position. […]

Taj Gibson (PF, CHI) - Value Play on FanDuel 12/26

Taj Gibson (at DAL, $4,700) Taj Gibson is the best play on the board until his price goes up. With Joakim Noah out of the lineup for quite some time, Gibson starts and dominates for the Chicago Bulls. On Christmas, against the Oklahoma City Thunder, he scored 13 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and posted 31 […]

Gerald Green (SG, MIA) and Chris Bosh (PF, MIA) - Stack on FanDuel 12/26

Gerald Green (at ORL, $4,100) Gerald Green has been playing well for the Miami Heat, and he makes for a solid, cheap option tonight against the Orlando Magic. The Magic are not one of the worst teams in the league defensively, but Green is simply too cheap to pass up. He has over 20 fantasy […]
