TwoGun’s NFL DFS Millionaire-Maker Lineup Review
I had my fifth million dollar win on DraftKings last Sunday. Out of these five wins, two were in the playoffs. The previous one was during the NFL Divisional Round in 2015, so it was a four-game slate. It was a $100 buy-in with around 20,000 total entries. Last weekend was a $4,444 buy-in with […]

College Basketball DFS Picks and Strategy for Wednesday (1/31)
Ask and you shall receive. DraftKings has put up a 12-game college basketball DFS slate for Wednesday instead of splitting it into two. I know some prefer split slates but ultimately, we will partake in whatever is posted. Tracking starting lineups, injuries or late-breaking news will be crucial as always so be sure to check […]

The PGA Tour stays in California for another week, heading to the Monterrey Peninsula for this week’s AT&T Pro-Am. In typical coastal clambake fashion, we have wet terrain ahead of this week’s event at the iconic host venue, Pebble Beach Golf Links.

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS January 31
It’s a nine-game NBA DFS slate Wednesday, and it’s likely to be dominated by the Dallas Mavericks. Even though they are facing Minnesota, they have ruled out enough players that we have to consider a lot of Dallas options despite the blowout risk. We also get Denver traveling to Oklahoma City to face the Thunder […]

PGA DFS Ownership Report: 2024 Farmers Insurance Open
In PGA DFS, the landscape is a bit different from its NFL counterpart. Unlike the gridiron battles where individual player performances can significantly impact each other, golf is a solitary pursuit. What one player does cannot help, nor prevent, another from doing the same on the course. In other words, the correlation that plays […]

Best DFS Stacks in the Conference Championships According to DVOA
Two-game NFL DFS slates are challenging on a number of fronts, but when it’s the Conference Championship Round and the final classic slate of the season, you know we’re going to treat it like the most important slate of DFS we’ve ever played. Game theory is always prevalent, but I would argue that it’s 90% […]

TwoGun’s GPP Core NFL DFS Picks for the Conference Championships
I don’t normally play more than a lineup or two on a two-game NFL DFS slate.

With just two games, I value lineup construction far more than just […]

5 Under 20%: The Best Overlooked DFS Plays of the Conference Championships
The path to winning DFS tournaments is typically aided by diamonds in the rough. These are the players often overlooked and considered to be contrarian, garnering single-digit rostership.
