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, […]

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS February 28
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 […]

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS February 27
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 […]

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS February 26
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 […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Sunday (2/25)
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 […]

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS February 24
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 […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Friday (2/23)
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 […]

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS February 23
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 […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Thursday (2/22)
After a rather uneventful All-Star weekend, I for one am glad to have the NBA back. We kick off the second half with a loaded 10-game DFS slate around the league Thursday, but because players had time off, teams are slowly starting to get a bit healthier.   Core Plays DraftKings Core Keyonte George, Utah […]

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 […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Thursday (2/15)
The NBA All-Star break kicks off this weekend, but before the festivities, the first half ends with a small three-game DFS slate Thursday. Interestingly enough, the most appealing team on this slate may very well be the Memphis Grizzlies, who seem to be perpetually shorthanded this season.   Core Plays DraftKings Core Stephen Curry, Golden […]

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.  […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Wednesday (2/14)
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 […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Tuesday (2/13)
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 […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Sunday (2/11)
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 […]

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS February 10
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 […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Wednesday (2/7)
We’re now under 24 hours away from the NBA trade deadline, and that already might affect the Wednesday DFS slate.

For a six-game NBA DFS slate (seven on FanDuel) like we have Tuesday, we still have a lot of questions that need answering.
