Cory Joseph (PG, TOR) - Cheap FanDuel Play on 2/10/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at MIN, $4,000 ANALYSIS: If you need salary relief at the point, Joseph is your guy on Wednesday. He draws a good matchup against the Timberwolves and since he comes off the bench, he likely wont have to deal with the pesky hands and defense of Ricky Rubio. Like Irving, Joseph too has exceeded […]

Kyrie Irving (PG, CLE) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 2/10/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs LAL, $7,600 ANALYSIS: There's a lot to like about Kyrie Irving this evening, and if his recent play is indicative of anything, he's in for a big time performance. Over the Cavaliers' last 10 games, Irving has exceeded value 80% of the time, and by an average of over seven points per contest. […]

NBA Guards: Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

This week's Waiver Wire Guards include two guys who everyone knows about already, but should be more universally owned. The other two targets are really deep sleepers who might have big time opportunities over the next couple of weeks to prove they belong on your fantasy team. Position Eligibility & Ownership Rate Based on Yahoo! […]

Archie Goodwin (PG, PHO) - Cheap FanDuel Play on 2/8/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs OKC, $5,200 ANALYSIS: Archie Goodwin has been solid over his last three games, and he should continue to play well tonight against the Oklahoma City Thunder. As I previously mentioned, this game has the ability to get out of hand, but Goodwin will play full minutes regardless. The Suns are very used to […]

Russell Westbrook (PG, OKC) - FanDuel Tournament Play on 2/8/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at PHO, $11,100 ANALYSIS: Russell Westbrook's price tag is now ridiculously high, so he is no longer a great 50/50 option, but he is still great in tournaments. In his last six games, he has over 50 fantasy points in five of them. The Phoenix Suns are the worst team in the league against […]

Dennis Schröder (PG, ATL) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Speculative Add/Stash in All Leagues OWNED: 27% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues Dennis Schröder was Atlanta’s first-round pick out of Germany in the 2013 NBA Draft. Now in his third NBA season, he has raised his career highs across the board while displaying outstanding quickness, ball-handling, and improved vision on the floor. At […]

Emmanuel Mudiay (PG, DEN) - FanDuel Value Play on 2/7/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at NY, $5,400 ANALYSIS: Despite continuing to turn the ball over like, well, a rookie point guard, Mudiay has put up some strong performances as of late. His minutes have been reaching into the low to mid-30s, and he has shown he is quite capable of draining buckets and dishing out dimes. Hopefully the […]

Isaiah Thomas (PG, BOS) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 2/7/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs SAC, $7,800 ANALYSIS: Look at it this way. The field is going to invest heavily in Thomas. I imagine somewhere in the 65-75% range. That’s just how good this matchup is. So even if you roster Thomas and he lays a dud- something that is not likely to happen- then it still won’t […]

Ish Smith (PG, PHI) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 2/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs BKN, $6,700 ANALYSIS: Ish Smith has really lost his consistency since landing in Philadelphia, but he is still worth a look in tournament lineups. In his last four games, he has two games under 25 fantasy points and two games over 40 fantasy points. If that doesn't scream inconsistency, I'm not sure what […]

Patty Mills (PG, SA) - Cheap DraftKings Play on 2/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs LAL, $3,700 ANALYSIS: Mills is going to play a larger role for the Spurs with Manu Ginobili out for an extended period of time. Mills has tremendous upside, as he recently scored 37.5 fantasy points in only 21 minutes against the Magic. He gets a great matchup against the Lakers tonight, who Mills […]

Russell Westbrook (PG, OKC) - Elite DraftKings Play on 2/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at GS, $11,200 ANALYSIS: This is the type of matchup that we have been waiting for. Westbrook has been on fire recently, as he’s averaging 24.2 points, 11.6 rebounds, 12.8 assists, and 1.4 steals per game over the last 10 days. Tonight, he’ll get a matchup against a fast paced Golden State team, and […]

NBA Trade Deadline: Guards Who Are Better off Traded

Much like your fantasy league, the NBA is very much a "what have you done for me lately?" league. If you get hurt or don't perform, you will be quickly replaced. Sometimes, all it takes is a younger playing coming along and sweeping your legs out from underneath you. These four guards have lost sight […]

Norris Cole (PG, NO) - Safe FanDuel Play on 2/4/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at LAL, $5,000 ANALYSIS: This pick is hinged on the status of Tyreke Evans heading into tonights game against the Lakers. If he sits, Cole will surely be one of the most popular plays of the night. Cole has scored over 30 FD points in three out of the last four games with Evans […]

Brandon Jennings (PG, DET) - Risk/Reward FanDuel Play on 2/4/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs NY, $3,700 ANALYSIS: I guess we'll start with the riskiest play of the night. In DFS you always have to try to stay one step ahead, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope's injury might provide an under the radar opportunity for Brandon Jennings. Detroit has experimented with playing Jennings and starter Reggie Jackson at the same time, […]

Russell Westbrook (PG, OKC) - Elite FanDuel Play on 2/3/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ORL, $10,900 ANALYSIS: To say that Russ has been a monster these last few contests would be a gross understatement. His DFS price tag has risen $500 in the past 10 days, but it still hasn't caught up to his production. In that same stretch, Westbrook has averaged 6.22 points over his salary implied projections. […]

NBA Guards: Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

This week's waiver wire guards are a mixed bag, with a few different kinds of potential fantasy basketball stars. Both veterans and a rookie make an appearance because of how well they’ve been playing, yet are still being ignored in the majority of leagues. The fantasy season is beginning to wind down and now is […]

Russell Westbrook (PG, OKC) - Strong FanDuel Play on 2/1/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs WAS, $10,900 ANALYSIS: Russell Westbrook is the best guard option on the board tonight, as he plays the Washington Wizards. The Wizards are going to push the pace of the game, and Westbrook thrives when that is the case. He has over 50 fantasy points in three straight games now, and there is […]

Norris Cole (PG, NO) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Norris Cole has been a solid bench contributor throughout his five years in the NBA, dating back to his time with the Miami Heat. Now, in his first full year with the New Orleans Pelicans, he is seeing the most minutes of […]

Deron Williams (PG, DAL) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 1/31/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs PHX, $5,500 ANALYSIS: After his dud performance against the Knicks on Thursday, the how to beat Archie Goodwin playbook is an open secret. As long as point guards play fast and attack the rim, the third-year veteran out of Kentucky will attempt to match basket for basket and get run out of his […]

Kemba Walker (PG, CHA) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/31/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at LAL, $8,600 ANALYSIS: Certainly there is the possibility that Steph Curry sizzles in front of the New York crowd, but he is really going to cost you if you choose to roster the Baby Faced Assassin. Instead, you can save a little fake money by drafting Walker. Despite going an atrocious 12-for-50 from […]

Norris Cole (PG, NO) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/30/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs BKN, $4,700 ANALYSIS: Tyreke Evans is questionable to play tonight against the Brooklyn Nets, which means that Norris Cole's value could skyrocket. With both Anthony Davis and Tyreke Evans out against the Sacramento Kings, Cole posted almost 40 fantasy points with 17 points and 10 assists. The Brooklyn Nets are horrible against opposing […]

Kyle Lowry (PG, TOR) - FanDuel Tournament Play on 1/30/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs DET, $9,000 ANALYSIS: Kyle Lowry recently hurt his wrist, but he did not sit out of the last game the Toronto Raptors played. In fact, he posted over 50 fantasy points in 41 minutes against the New York Knicks. Prior to a little bit of a dry spell, Lowry was posting over 40 […]

Toney Douglas (PG/SG, NO) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Former New York Knick Toney Douglas is being asked to step up for the Pelicans with Tyreke Evans ailing and Eric Gordon sidelined for a few weeks, and so far so good. On Monday Douglas scored 18 points while dishing six assists […]

Archie Goodwin (PG/SG, PHO) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: With Brandon Knight out for the next few games, it's Archie Goodwin's time to shine. Over his last three games, Goodwin has scored at least 20 points in each contest and has been a bright spot for the injury ravaged Suns. The […]

Reggie Jackson (PG, DET) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 1/27/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs PHI, $7,000 ANALYSIS: Reggie is criminally under-priced this evening and he has a great matchup to boot. While this isn't one of the games I mentioned targeting because of the high expected point total, the over/under in this one is 203, which is a pretty high number for a Detroit game. Jackson and his […]

NBA Guards: Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

The waiver wire is filled with under the radar play-making guards. Finding someone that averages more than five assists can be difficult at times if you don't already have an established star. The following potential waiver wire pickups all offer dynamic games that involve putting up solid assist numbers. Be sure to check out our […]

Damian Lillard (PG, POR) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 1/23/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs LAL, $8,700 ANALYSIS: Damian Lillard has struggled over his last couple of games, but he should be able to turn things around tonight against the Los Angeles Lakers. Last game, he posted over 30 fantasy points, but prior to that, he scored 25.4 and 17.4 fantasy points against the Washington Wizards and Philadelphia […]

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 […]

Damian Lillard (PG, POR) - Strong FanDuel Play on 1/20/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ATL, $8,800 ANALYSIS: Despite exceeding value in 6 of his last 10 games, Lillard has an extremely appealing pricetag this evening, a pricetag that has dropped $600 in total since the start of the month. Any time you can find a guy of Lillard's skill priced under 9K, the matchup is worth investigating, […]
