Thursday’s seven-game NBA DFS slate is a bit larger than most Thursday slates, but we have some great games. It’s headlined by a potential NBA Finals matchup with the Celtics visiting Denver looking to avenge their loss earlier this season in Boston. That game and others offer us plenty of options to choose from.    […]

Tuesday’s eight-game NBA DFS slate could be a little challenging in some respects, because on DraftKings, six of the top 10 players in salary are either out or questionable. Two of the biggest question marks on the slate are Victor Wembanyama and Jalen Brunson — if they sit out, that opens up an awful lot […]

It’s another good night of NBA action on Monday. We have six games, and a couple stand out as far as the total. We have two contests that are over 238, while the other four games are under 228, so there is a sharp contrast this evening. There is also a difference between DraftKings and […]

Saturday night’s three-game NBA DFS slate could be a challenge because there is plenty of star power to choose from, but we might wind up being value-starved. If we don’t get enough value, some of the most appealing stars on the slate might be more difficult to fit but we’ll have to see how the […]

Friday brings a different spin on the seven-game NBA DFS slate, because DraftKings has elected to run their contests without late swap for the first time. The logic of that move is … shaky, seeing as how we still don’t have the later games on the slate, but that’s the hand we’ve been dealt.    […]

The NBA rolls on with six games Thursday night, and once again, we miss out on some of the better games on the schedule in DFS simply because they’re later in the night. Arguably the two best games of the night aren’t on the main slate even though last night we had late games. However, […]

There are some very appealing games on Wednesday’s six-game NBA schedule, including the nightcap of the Lakers and Clippers facing each other. We have plenty of star power to choose from in DFS, and some teams with injury situations could help dictate the slate, such as Minnesota.    1. Gradey Dick is starting to play […]

We’ve got a much bigger NBA DFS slate Tuesday, with nine games to choose from and DraftKings, and FanDuel have left off the late games once again. As of now, there aren’t too many injuries to deal with, but it’s getting later in the NBA season, so that can change by a lot before the […]

There are only four games on the NBA slate Monday night, but we have some fun matchups to go through. As usual, some injury issues will change the slate’s complexion, and two of the biggest names don’t play until the late game. Miami is already without Jimmy Butler due to a suspension, but Terry Rozier […]

The seven-game slate for the NBA on Sunday night is likely to be quite chalky. Atlanta lost Trae Young for the next month with a finger injury, and the Pelicans are dealing with both injuries and suspensions.  Just remember, it’s always going to be extremely important to keep up with the news until lock and […]

Saturday brings us a weird NBA DFS slate, since we only have three games and only Jayson Tatum is over $10,000 on DraftKings or FanDuel. All six teams look relatively healthy, so we could have a straightforward slate (famous last words).    1. Simone Fontecchio is carving out a role in Detroit  The Pistons traded […]

Friday’s NBA DFS core plays are likely going to have to change at some point with the sheer amount of teams that are on a back-to-back situation. There are still plenty of questionable tags among the slate and players that may sit outm but we can start to highlight what we’re after.  Just remember, it’s […]

The first thing that stands out on Friday’s NBA DFS  slate is the difference in the number of games, depending on if you’re playing DraftKings or FanDuel. The former site has cut off all four late games and only has six games on the main slate, while FanDuel has all 10.    1. Toronto is […]

We are back for the stretch run of the NBA regular season, and we’ve got 10 games to choose from for DFS Thursday. We may not have the absurd amount of value we got leading into the All-Star break since teams have had to rest and recuperate, but the flip side is some of the […]

The absolute nuttiness that was the Wednesday NBA DFS slate is behind us, and we only have three games Thursday before the NBA kicks into the All-Star break. Three of the six teams played Wednesday, so we could get some players sitting out, which can shift things around but let’s start highlighting who we like.  […]

For such a large NBA DFS slate, there is some heavy chalk already gathering Wednesday. Some of the plays make a ton of sense and I’ll be along for the ride with the field while others are a good chance to zag and get different.  Just remember, it’s always going to be extremely important to […]

Wednesday night’s NBA DFS slate is guaranteed to get nuts, because we have 12 games and for most squads, it’s the last game before the All-Star break. FanDuel did include the last game of the night, so their slate is 13 games, but a whopping eight teams played Tuesday. We’ll do our best to highlight […]

There is surely more news to come Tuesday, so the NBA DFS core can change as we go into the night, because Minnesota has yet to submit an injury report. However, we do have a lot of the news that we need to start building our targets for the Tuesday slate.  Just remember, it’s always […]

We’re closing in on the NBA All-Star break, but we have another six-game DFS slate Tuesday, and three of them don’t start until 10 p.m. ET or later. That’s going to make for some interesting strategy as the slate unfolds with plenty of options in the late portion of the slate.    1. Dennis Schroder […]

Now that the NFL season has wrapped up, the NBA is at the center of the DFS world, and we have a nine-game slate on tap. There are a lot of fun game environments, including the Warriors and Jazz for the last game on the slate. Let’s highlight some spots to target and start laying […]

Unsurprisingly, the NBA is not going to play too many games on Super Bowl Sunday, so we only have two matinee games. Unless we get a player ruled out, the builds are fairly difficult here because nobody got much of a price break, and there is limited value to be had.  Just remember, it’s always […]

Fortunately, there is not a rash of injuries that should hurt this year’s Super Bowl. The San Francisco 49ers have a clean injury report as far as anyone being listed as questionable while the Chiefs are only missing one key player for the offense and defense.  Check out the injury report heading into the Super […]

We’ve got a seven-game NBA DFS slate in front of us Saturday, and it’s a bit of a weird one since DraftKings doesn’t have a player that costs more than $10,000 and FanDuel’s limit is $10,400. That should allow us to build some balanced lineups but that also doesn’t mean we won’t have some values […]

The chaos of the NBA trade deadline has passed, but there might still be some situations where we feel the effects Friday. Some teams may still be short-handed as we saw Thursday night, and we have six games to choose from for our DFS selections.   1. The 76ers could be down to nine players […]

It’s been a wild day for the NBA with a flurry of trades, and there’s still some time left before the deadline hits as I write this. We’ll see if things change for Thursday’s DFS slate any further than they already have, but we can also start to highlight some targets for the seven-game slate.  […]

We have a fascinating Super Bowl matchup this year between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs. The 49ers had expectations throughout the season of being here while the Chiefs looked a lot shakier at points with the offense not living up to expectations. Let’s discuss each of the main positions and how players […]

The NBA just keeps on ticking with another six games on Wednesday’s DFS schedule, and it should be noted that we are closing in on the trade deadline. It’s the time of the season where we could see teams hold out a player to protect a potential trade so it’s something we need to keep […]

For a six-game NBA DFS slate (seven on FanDuel) like we have Tuesday, we still have a lot of questions that need answering. Multiple teams have players up in the air to play, so the core has a relatively high probability of changing before tipoff. We can still start to highlight situations that will be […]

We’ve got another six games on the NBA DFS slate for Tuesday night with another set of injuries to deal with. As of now, the headlining injury is Fred VanVleet for the Houston Rockets because that opens up an awful lot. Let’s talk about that spot and more.    1. Fred VanVleet has only missed […]

There are six games on Monday’s NBA DFS slate, and there are plenty of injuries that can help dictate the slate. If Luka Doncic is out for the Dallas Mavericks, it’s going to make the builds quite interesting. On DraftKings, that would mean no player is more expensive than $10,100, which doesn’t seem to happen […]

The first Sunday without competitive football in the NFL means the NBA has a bigger slate of seven games, so we have plenty of options to choose from. There is one team that will be heavy chalk, but that’s not a surprise given how many players they are likely to have available for the game.  […]

There are only five games on the Saturday main slate, but it has the potential to be a loaded one since there are 10 players who are above the $9,000 threshold on DraftKings. Now, that’s subject to change because we have four teams on the second leg of a back-to-back situation, so we never know […]
