Nikola Vucevic (C, ORL) - Top DraftKings Play on 1/1/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at WAS, $7,900 ANALYSIS: Vucevic has continuously been returning value on a nightly basis, and that will likely continue tonight. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 23.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game. His price is on the rise, but he still hasn’t priced himself out. He gets a tough matchup […]

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

A week ago, Christmas around here was about 70 degrees. This week, the Sixers are starting to win games because of the fantastic play of Ish Smith. Next week, I'm assuming hell will freeze over. Oh, Happy New Year! In this article, I will be providing you with my NBA DFS picks for DraftKings daily […]

Bobby Portis (PF, CHI) - Risk/Reward DraftKings Play on 1/1/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs NY, $3,900 ANALYSIS: The Bulls are finally giving Portis minutes, as he has played 26 and 27 minutes in his last two games. He has scored 27.25 and 25.25 fantasy points in those games, and he’ll likely play around 25 minutes again tonight. He gets a good matchup against the Knicks, who have […]

Nerlens Noel (PF, PHI) - DraftKings Upside Play for 1/1/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at LAL, $6,300 ANALYSIS: Noel has been playing exceptionally well since the Sixers traded for Ish Smith, as he has scored 41.25, 39.0, and 37.25 fantasy points in those three games. He has also started at center in each of those three games, which is the position he has been much more successful at […]

Jerami Grant (SF, PHI) - DraftKings Tournament Option for 1/1/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at LAL, $4,400 ANALYSIS: The Sixers may choose to have Jahlil Okafor come off the bench for the time being, as Noel plays extremely well with Ish Smith. If Okafor starts the game on the bench, Grant will likely draw the start at power forward. He’s coming off a huge game, in which he […]

Carmelo Anthony (SF, NYK) - Elite DraftKings Option on 1/1/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at CHI, $8,300 ANALYSIS: Melo has been playing well recently, as he’s averaging 23.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game over the last 10 days. He gets a great matchup against the Bulls, who have been one of the worst defenses in the NBA against small forwards. He’s also a significantly better […]

Garrett Temple (SG, WAS) - DraftKings Tournament Play on 1/1/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ORL, $4,700 ANALYSIS: Temple is a bit of a confusing prospect, as he’s playing huge minutes, but he isn’t scoring fantasy points. He has flashed 40 fantasy point upside, but he has also scored under 15 fantasy points in each of his last two games. His price is a bit high, but the […]

DeMar DeRozan (SG, TOR) - Elite DraftKings Play on 1/1/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs CHA, $8,000 ANALYSIS: DeRozan has been on fire recently, as he has scored 35+ fantasy points in 10 consecutive games. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 25.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists, and 1.0 steal per game. He’s a huge part of the Raptors offense, and Kyle Lowry recently told the media […]

Ish Smith (PG, PHI) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/1/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at LAL, $6,500 ANALYSIS: Smith’s price is on the rise, but it’s still entirely too cheap. He has scored 42.75 and 45.25 fantasy points in his last two games, and he’ll continue to be the main focus of the Sixers offense tonight. He gets a great matchup against the Lakers, who have been one […]

John Wall (PG, WAS) - Great DraftKings Play for 1/1/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ORL, $9,700 ANALYSIS: Wall has been heating up a bit recently, and he gets a great matchup against the Magic tonight. The Magic love turning games into shootouts, and Wall is the main focus of the Wizards offense. He has double doubled in seven consecutive games, and he’s also adding stats in each […]

For the first weekend of 2016 we have a couple of teams playing a back-to-back, and acquiring a key player from one of those teams could be key in securing a last-minute win.

Upset Picks For Week 17 Of The NFL Season

I went 2-1 straight up and against the spread this past week. Last week I wrote, "There's due to be one huge upset this week." That upset was the Rams beating the Seahawks in Seattle as 13-point underdogs. I have little interest in games this week that are meaningless, therefore I will focus on games that have playoff […]

Jeff Withey (C, UTA) - Value Play on FanDuel for 12/31

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs POR, $3,900 ANALYSIS: This pick completely hinges on Derrick Favors injury, so keep a close eye on his status before lineups lock. Withey is coming off of two 30 FD point nights, averaging a double double over those games. At $3,900, anything above 20 FD points is a premium, and I think he has the […]

Draymond Green (PF, GSW) - High Upside FanDuel Play on 12/31

MATCHUP/VALUE: at HOU, $9,200 ANALYSIS: You can pretty much copy and paste what I wrote about Klay Thompson above.  If Steph sits tonight, Draymond will be even more of a focal point in the Warriors offense. We have seen Draymond stuff the stat sheet and put up huge DFS numbers, but he only averages about 15 […]

Anthony Davis (PF, NOP) - Elite FanDuel Play on 12/31

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs LAC, $10,200 ANALYSIS: Without Blake Griffin this game opens up a lot of opportunities for Anthony Davis against an extremely thin Clippers frontcourt. Yes I know, DeAndre Jordan is a very good defender. However, I'm gonna roll the dice a bit on DeAndre getting into foul trouble trying to contain AD. If he […]

Paul Pierce (SF, LAC) - FanDuel Value Play on 12/31

MATCHUP/VALUE: at NOP, $3,800 ANALYSIS: Bargain bin special! At $3,800 Paul Pierce needs to score about 10 points and grab a rebound or two to hit value. He should be able to do that in the first half tonight. Without Blake Griffin the Clippers will have to lean on Pierce a bit more in their […]

Gordon Hayward (SF, UTA) - Solid FanDuel Play on 12/31

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs POR, $7,600 ANALYSIS: Gordon Hayward is always one of my favorite DFS plays. He's had a bit of a down year by his standards, but has been heating up recently while the Jazz are dealing with multiple injuries. Make sure to keep an eye on Derrick Favors status heading into tonight's game. If he sits, […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (SG, DET) - Value Play on FanDuel on 12/31

MATCHUP/VALUE: at MIN, $5,500 ANALYSIS: With a handful of bigger name shooting guards ahead of him, I think Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will be criminally under-owned tonight. Although his recent performances have been very luke warm, he is still hitting value, and has shown many times this season he can put up huge numbers. I mean two […]

Klay Thompson (SG, GSW) - High Upside FanDuel Play on 12/31

MATCHUP/VALUE: at HOU, $7,300 ANALYSIS: This pick largely hinges on whether or not Stephen Curry plays tonight, so keep an eye on his status. Klay Thompson didn't play so well without his fellow Splash Brother last night, but I think things will turn around tonight against the Rockets. This game should have a much faster pace, which […]

Ricky Rubio (PG, MIN) - Smart FanDuel Play on 12/31

MATCHUP/VALUE: at DET, $7,500 ANALYSIS: Honestly I don't love playing Rubio in DFS because of his complete lack of scoring, but the numbers he has been putting up are hard to ignore. He's scored 38  or  more FD points over his last two contests, averaging 13 assists per game over that span. That's about 20 […]

Brandon Knight (PG, PHO) - Top FanDuel Play on 12/31

MATCHUP/VALUE: at OKC, $6,900 ANALYSIS: With Eric Bledose out for the rest of the season, Brandon Knight will quickly become a regular DFS recomendation. It was just last year the Knight was sniffing a triple double almost every night for the Milwaukee Bucks as their primary scorer and ball handler. I expect huge numbers out of […]

Tonight we have a pretty big slate of six games for the typical Thursday night. Not only do we have some great match ups, but […]

Jerryd Bayless (PG/SG, MIL) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: After missing 11 games because of a bum ankle, Jerryd Bayless was very effective in his return to action on Monday. Bayless put up 19 points and recorded seven assists in 27 minutes of play, outplaying starter Michael Carter-Williams. Unfortunately, he followed up […]

John Henson (PF/C, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: John Henson is a widely available option for those in category leagues. The youngster for the Bucks has been getting some more run lately because right now Jabari Parker and Greg Monroe couldn't hit water if they fell out of boats. […]
