The Boston Celtics will look to keep their season alive Friday against the Miami Heat in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, and as always we’re here to break down the game for DFS showdowns. After taking over the game and scoring 37 points, rookie guard Tyler Herro brought the Heat within one game […]

Jamal Murray once again took center stage in the NBA playoffs Tuesday night as the Nuggets salvaged Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals and avoided a 3-0 deficit. With the Eastern Conference Finals also sitting at 2-1, the Celtics should come in extra aggressive Wednesday in hopes of evening the series, providing a ton […]

After a Monday without NBA action, the Western Conference Finals return for Game 3 Tuesday, meaning so do FTN’s DFS Showdown breakdowns. Anthony Davis has been the most productive player from a fantasy perspective, which could lead to him being the most popular MVP spot candidate on FanDuel, but differentiation could go a long way […]

After a bloodbath of a Sunday around the NFL, we’re left with one final game on PrizePIcks Monday night to close the books on Week 2, as the Saints travel to Las Vegas to take on the Raiders. Even without Michael Thomas on Monday, Vegas is expecting fireworks as the total for the game sits […]

Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals didn’t quite live up to the expectations that fans had hoped for, as the Lakers dominated the Nuggets from start to finish, which resulted in floor games for Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray (26.7). Hoping for bouncebacks Sunday, not much has changed from a salary perspective on the […]

The Miami Heat continue to steamroll the East, as they moved to 10-1 overall in the playoffs after going up 2-0 on the Celtics. With the pressure mounting, we should see an even tighter rotation for the Celtics in Game 3, which should hopefully lead to more and more fantasy production for the DFS Showdown […]

The Conference Finals are upon us and after rallying in two consecutive series while down 3-1, the Denver Nuggets stunned the NBA and will be facing the Lakers after knocking out the Clippers, making for an action-packed series of NBA DFS showdown contests.

After Monday was the first day without any NBA action since the social justice boycotts, we’re presented with a two-game NBA DFS slate as the 2020 playoffs continue on. The Miami Heat knocked off the top defensive unit from the regular season in five games last series and turn their attention to the best defensive […]

The first Sunday of the 2020 NFL season has come and gone but luckily, we’re graced with an additional pair of games Monday night, featuring the first primetime double-header of the season. With that being the case, PrizePicks has posted a massive 28-pick slate to round out Week 1. My focus for this article will […]

We’ve finally reached the point in the NBA playoffs where there is typically one game per night, meaning our NBA DFS slates are primarily showdown slates. With the showdown format being vastly different between FanDuel and DraftKings, as you get the opportunity to roster three players that get a score-boost on FanDuel, while DraftKings only […]

After only a single-game NBA slate Thursday night, we’re back Friday with a two-game slate and an NBA DFS game-by-game breakdown that should feature a heap of action in each contest. The schedule has flip-flopped from what we’ve become accustomed to, as the Boston Celtics/Toronto Raptors game will take center-stage in the primetime slot for […]

With the Bucks officially eliminated from the NBA playoffs Tuesday night, there are now only seven teams left in the bubble, as the NBA DFS slates continue to get smaller. Luckily, we still have our normal two-game slate Wednesday with the Celtics looking to put away the Raptors and the Clippers looking to take a […]

While Labor Day is traditionally a holiday where baseball takes center stage, we’re lucky to have more NBA DFS action with a two-game slate on tap for the evening.

Labor Day weekend kicks off with NBA DFS action at 5:30 p.m. ET Saturday as the Raptors will look to even the series after a wild buzzer-beater ending, while the Nuggets will try and bounce back after being stifled by the Clippers defense in Game 1. The last couple of DFS slates have been much […]

Wednesday’s NBA DFS action provided us with a crazy finish at the free-throw line for the Miami Heat as well as the Houston Rockets who secured a Round 1 victory over the Thunder. Now, the attention on Thursday is turned to another high-seeded team in trouble — the Toronto Raptors — who will look to […]

After two entertaining NBA playoff games Monday night, we turn our attention and our DFS analysis to Tuesday, which features Game 2 of the Boston/Toronto series and Game 7 of the Utah/Denver series.

While the NBA game-by-game DFS breakdown for Saturday’s games will almost mirror the game-by-game breakdown from Wednesday prior to the games being postponed, there are some key differences FanDuel and DraftKings made — specifically in pricing — that have the potential to alter the strategy on the slate a bit. Outside of the pricing adjustments, […]

Heading into our usual NBA playoff slate Wednesday, we’re only presented with three games as opposed to four, after the Miami Heat completed the four-game sweep of the Indiana Pacers Monday. With this being the case, DFS rosters will become far more condensed, making it even more important to leverage ownership with pivots in tournament […]

What a wild weekend of basketball it was, particularly Sunday. In a single day, we saw two teams get swept (Philadelphia and Brooklyn), two 50-point performances in the same game (Donovan Mitchell and Jamal Murray) and Luka Doncic surprise absolutely nobody by sinking the Clippers with a three at the buzzer to even the series […]

As we approach the Saturday matinee slate around the NBA, there are two teams on the brink of going down 0-3 (Indiana and Oklahoma City), while the top two seeds look to take a 2-1 series advantage. With two games under the belt in all four of these series, it’s easier to predict the game […]

While we have the exact same slate of NBA games Thursday that we had Tuesday, the order of the games has changed and the outcomes Tuesday made this slate all the more interesting for both the NBA and DFS, as both No. 1 seeds dropped their first game to the eight seeds. This should (hopefully) […]

The second slate of playoff basketball is upon us Tuesday, and calling it star-studded would be a disservice. With the likes of James Harden, LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo all in action on this slate, some tough choices are going to have to be made in terms of a building block […]
