Everyone had better buckle up for the Friday NBA DFS slate, because there are 13 games, and you can guarantee there will be chaos. It’s an odd slate, because there are multiple games we just saw Wednesday as well, so let’s just get right to work.    Chicago Bulls at Charlotte Hornets  Bulls -9, O/U […]

Friday’s NBA DFS slate is going to be an interesting one, because we have 13 games, and we likely need to tread carefully with some of the late-night hammers. Of the three late games Friday, two have spreads of over 14 points. Since we have a lot to sift through, let’s get right to the […]

In baseball, an “opener” has a simple job – help the team get off to a good start by limiting the opponent’s production in the first inning or two. He essentially paves the way for the rest of the bullpen and the offense to do their thing. This fantasy baseball article is similar – since […]

We only have a two-game NBA DFS slate Thursday evening. Below, I’ll give you my core plays for the  slate on both DraftKings and FanDuel. It is extremely important to keep up with the news up until lock. If you are new to NBA DFS, players often get ruled so staying on top of the […]

It’s a very quiet NBA DFS slate Thursday. Hopefully, we can get some better injury reporting than Wednesday. It was pretty brutal to find out Keon Johnson broke his finger at the Blazer’s practice during the day at around 8:30 p.m. ET. They compounded that by making Cam Reddish active and never playing him, but […]

Wednesday’s NBA DFS slate has 10 games in store for us and is the start of an odd schedule over the next handful of days. We’re going to get alternating days of a ton of games followed by days with either two or zero games, so let’s get it kicked off with a big slate […]

Wednesday’s 10-game NBA DFS slate is loaded. Four of those games have spreads of over 10 points, which could make things a bit tricky. Predicting blowouts can be difficult, as evidenced by the Boston Celtics losing to the Washington Wizards Tuesday night. We’re going to have to keep these spreads in mind when picking our […]

We have quite an interesting NBA DFS slate Tuesday, as there are only two players on DraftKings that are over the $10,000 threshold and one is listed as questionable. If this slate is anything like Monday, it’s going to be a crazy day and as we grind down to the end of the season, we […]

There are only six games on Tuesday’s NBA DFS slate, but there are some fun matchups and we have a vital late-night hammer in the Western Conference between the New Orleans Pelicans and Golden State Warriors. This should be a competitive slate so let’s discuss who’s helping us get to the top of the leaderboards.  […]

We have another near-full slate on Monday. It got more interesting once the league rescinded the technical foul on Luka Doncic that would have had him suspended for tonight’s game.    Let’s take a look at who stands out this Monday in the NBA. Dallas Mavericks at Indiana Pacers  Pacers -1, O/U 233  Mavericks Notes  […]

We’ve got a fairly large slate on Sunday with seven games on the main slate, and every game has at least one team that is fighting for a playoff spot. The longer that stays the case, the better it is for us since we’ve already had some teams give up on the season, including the […]

There are only two games on the main slate that have a spread over 9.5 points on Sunday.    Additionally, there is a late-night hammer between the Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves that has a large total, and those teams are sixth and seventh in the Western Conference. It should be a fun slate, […]

It’s another fun day in the NBA Saturday, with six total games, five on the main DFS slate. It appears we’re going to have some missing star players, specifically from the 76ers, and that team will provide some very reasonable salaries to utilize. Let’s break it all down and talk about our targets.    Showdown […]

The NBA brings us six games overall Saturday, with a five-game main DFS slate. It should bring us some competitive contests. All five games on the main slate have spreads under nine points, and two of the games have totals of over 235 points, making them even more appealing.    1. The Miami Heat are […]

We turn the page from Thursday to find a 10-game NBA DFS slate awaiting us Friday, and it’s a crowded one. There are four late games, which is something that hasn’t happened for a little while and one of those games is a tilt between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Lakers. That’s a […]

Friday brings a bit of an odd NBA DFS slate — it’s a larger one (10 games), but there are really only three games in that two playoff teams face each other. All three of those games are later on and feature four teams in the Western Conference that are fighting to get into the […]

The NBA takes a small break Thursday, with just four games on the schedule, although every game carries some type of importance for the playoff race. Things in the Western Conference are especially crazy since the Phoenix Suns are in fourth but only 2.5 games ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers in 10th. Not only […]

Wednesday brings us a fascinating NBA DFS slate for multiple reasons. The first is there are 10 games, and that’s the first time in a while that we’ve had so many slates in the 4-8 game range. The second reason is all three of Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid are on the slate […]

It’s a sprawling NBA DFS slate Wednesday, since we have 10 games. But there does seem to be a distinction between game environments — some of these games have pretty unappealing totals while others are sky-high, which is a factor when deciding between players. Let’s get into it and figure out five players who could […]

We’re closing in on the end of the NBA season, but if you look at the top of the salary grid for Tuesday’s DFS slate, you wouldn’t know it. There are no injuries or rest days in the top stars on this slate to deal with for the first time in a while, at least […]

Tuesday’s six-game NBA DFS slate has games that are on opposite ends of the spectrum. On one hand, two games have a spread of 13 points or higher while the other four games are all under seven points. Additionally, four games have cleared a total of 232 points, but two other games are under 226 […]

The Monday NBA slate is going to be a fun one. Of the six games, the lowest total is 225 points. There are multiple games with totals well over 230 points, and most of the games are a close spread.   Let’s dig into five players that we want in our lineups for this slate!  […]

The Monday NBA slate might only have six games, but it feels like it’s a loaded slate because there are a ton of appealing spots. Once again, almost every game has at least one team that needs to rack up the wins in the playoff race. Let’s break it all down to figure out the […]

We’ve talked often this season about blowouts being very difficult to predict, and we got plenty on Saturday night.    Sunday brings us eight total games, but three of them opened at nine points or more for the spread. Some of the better game environments are arguably on the afternoon slate, so let’s talk about […]

The NBA presents us with another eight games for Saturday, but we have a split DFS slate, with two games in the afternoon and then the six-game main slate. There are some injuries to deal with, but for the most part, we might still have most teams putting their best foot forward as far as […]

It’s another fun Saturday for the NBA, and the day’s DFS slate brings us a nice mix of game environments and star power. It’s a bit of an odd slate because there aren’t a ton of big-dollar spend-ups, likely creating a popular player in that salary range. Also, we get a strong mix of teams […]
