5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS March 1
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.    […]

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS February 29
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, […]

PGA Single-Entry Takedown Lineup Review: Mexico Open
The $200 Driver (Single Entry) with 277 entries is my go-to contest on DraftKings for PGA DFS. I like the fact that it’s top-heavy overall (20% to first place), yet relatively flat at the top. It’s also small enough that a takedown is a low-probability event, but not that unlikely. At Pebble Beach, I finished […]

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.
