We have a modest five-game DFS slate around the NBA Thursday. At the moment, we really have to wait and see what the Boston Celtics have planned. With the top seed in the Eastern Conference already locked up, Boston has nothing to play for. They currently have Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Jrue Holiday and Kristaps […]

It’s a shame that the DFS sites started to not have late NBA games on the slate, because we miss out on the Minnesota/Denver game with both teams being tied for the 1 in the West. However, we do have six games that could bring a maximum amount of chaos Wednesday, because there are a […]

The NBA took a night off Monday, but they are back in force Tuesday with 11 games on the main DFS slate. We only have 4-5 games left for the regular season and playoff pushes are running out of time to get made so let’s get rolling.    1. Daniel Gafford has scored 1.27 points […]

We only have three games on the Saturday night slate, but Denver and Philadelphia have big playoff implications in every game played at this juncture. Denver is tied for the one seed in the West and still has another game against the Timberwolves, while Philly can still get out of the Play-In Tournament with Joel […]

Baseball might be in full swing, but the NBA has a great slate of action on Friday with 10 games. True, we have to wade through an injury report that’s about as long as my arm, but that gives cheap players a bigger opportunity and makes it fun to build, so let’s get to work. […]

Thursday offers a five-game NBA DFS slate, and at the moment, the team to focus on is the Philadelphia 76ers. Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris are all on the injury report, though all three did participate in shootaround. Embiid made his return last game and played over 29 minutes, but this is a […]

Wednesday’s NBA DFS slate could be a difficult one to figure out with the amount of high spreads and potential injuries. There has also been a rash of players leaving games early due to injury, which is arguably the most frustrating thing in the sport. Let’s go to work and figure out who we like.  […]

The NBA presents a seven-game DFS slate Tuesday that has a handful of relatively shorthanded teams, which isn’t too surprising now that we have entered April. But the key to the slate appears to reside in San Antonio.   1. Jordan Poole has a 34.9% usage rate with both Kyle Kuzma and Tyus Jones off […]

Monday night’s six-game NBA DFS slate might not have the most sizzle to it, but the last two games of the night have major playoff implications. Even the games that may not have playoff teams involved have some fun fantasy spots to target.    1. The Celtics could be a lot more appealing if Jaylen […]

Saturday presents a small three-game slate that is once again headlined by injuries. Damian Lillard will be sidelined for Milwaukee, while the Memphis Grizzlies are depleted, which will present some potential value.   1. Khris Middleton’s usage rate climbs by 8.3% with Damian Lillard off the floor Since coming back from injury, Khris Middleton has […]

Friday features a jam-packed 10-game DFS slate in the NBA, full of matchups between playoff teams or some of the worst defensive squads in the league. We should be able to find a ton of appealing targets, so let’s get cooking.    1. 14 of Marvin Bagley’s 25 minutes against the Nets came after Richaun […]

With it being MLB Opening Day, there are only two games in the NBA world Thursday. The Pelicans are easily the most intriguing team on the DFS slate, as they remain without Brandon Ingram, though the Hawks could be pretty shorthanded again, too.   1. CJ McCollum has a 29% usage rate over the last […]

It’s a crowded NBA DFS slate Wednesday, with 10 games to deal with. The slate is going to be locked up early as almost all the action is on the front end of the night and I’m sure we’ll have injury situations that will change the approach to this slate at some point.    1. […]

The NBA is really getting down to crunch time, with just a handful of games left on the schedule, and some great teams to target are in action Monday. However, we do have the issue of the spreads being double-digits in seven of the nine games, which really adds a degree of difficulty in DFS. […]

For once, I’m actually not that upset that we don’t have the late-night hammer, because Denver is taking on a Portland squad that played on Friday night. Not only is the spread enormous, but both Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic are questionable. It’s one less aspect to deal with, although the six-game slate leaves us […]

DraftKings and FanDuel are once again quite different in how they approach the day’s NBA DFS slate, as DK has all eight games, but FD cut off at five. We also have a bunch of games with a large spread Friday as we’ve had these last couple of nights, so we’ll have to tread carefully […]

For the first time in what feels like quite a while, we have a full eight-game NBA DFS slate with late games on both DraftKings and FanDuel Wednesday. Three games don’t start until late so this slate is a more unique challenge, although we don’t have a ton of injuries to deal with Wednesday (famous […]

It looks like a fun night of basketball Tuesday night, and even though we have just five games, there are some fun fantasy and DFS options. We also have the last game on the slate between the Nuggets and Timberwolves in a battle of teams standing near the top of the West to look forward […]

DraftKings and FanDuel have very different slates for Monday night, as DK decided to give us every game for once, meaning they have an eight-game main slate. FD only went with a five-game main slate, so the complexion is totally different. Regardless of which site you’re playing, it’s a challenge since only one game has […]
