5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS January 18
We’ve got a very fun-looking five-game NBA DFS slate on the docket for Thursday, with plenty of star players to choose from. As things stand right now, we have close to a clean bill of health for teams as well, past the Pascal Siakam trade. It appears that no player involved in that trade will […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Wednesday (1/17)
We’re getting into trade season for the NBA, and that’s something we’ll have to deal with Wednesday in DFS. Pascal Siakam was traded to the Pacers Wednesday, but the Raptors play, so that will shake up their rotations.  Just remember, it’s always going to be extremely important to keep up with the news until lock […]

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS January 17
At first glance, Wednesday’s nine-game NBA DFS slate looks like a blast. DraftKings gave players a break on some of the pricing and there are options galore, even before we get any news for the day. Six games have a total of over 230 points although the Celtics are favored by nearly 16 points against […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Tuesday (1/16)
We get a challenging three-game NBA DFS slate Tuesday that has a ton of star players but very little value that we should feel strongly about. We can get to one superstar on each site comfortably but that might be about it, so let’s talk about our targets.  Just remember, it’s always going to be […]

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS January 16
There are only three NBA games Tuesday night, but it is a DFS slate that is positively loaded with star power. Some of the league’s best players are all in action, so building lineups that include multiple expensive players could wind up being a challenge.    1. We might have Nikola Jokic facing Joel Embiid  […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Monday (1/15)
There are a ton of different slates around the NBA on Monday, but our focus will be on the five-game main slate that tips off at 7 p.m. ET. We’ll have to keep an eye on the status of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who is listed as questionable. His potential absence would obviously drastically change the slate. […]

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS January 15
We have NBA hoops all day long, but the main slates on DraftKings and FanDuel are both five games in the evening, which is what we’re going to be focusing on. The last two games on the slate are very fun on paper, as the Pacers take on the scorching-hot Jazz, and the nightcap is […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Sunday (1/14)
There are only four games on the main slate for Sunday, as most of the sports world will be looking at the NFL playoffs. It’s not an easy slate, in stark contrast to Saturday night. We had far too much value for that slate, but it’s virtually nonexistent tonight, so a balanced approach might be […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Saturday (1/13)
We have a solid seven-game NBA DFS slate Saturday, paired with some playoff NFL action. Unfortunately, a handful of star players have been ruled out, including Luka Doncic, Stephen Curry and Victor Wembanyama. That does, however, make things more interesting from a fantasy hoops perspective.    Core Plays DraftKings Core Jacob GilyardKyrie IrvingLuke KennardTim HardawayDavid […]

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS January 13
Both DraftKings and FanDuel have seven games on their Saturday NBA DFS slates, and at least as of now, there may not be an overwhelming amount of value. That’s been a theme this season although there are still a couple of players that I have my eyes on, and news will surely break during the […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Friday (1/12)
We’ve got an eight-game NBA DFS slate on tap for Friday. Below, I’ll give you my core plays for the slate on both DraftKings and FanDuel. It is extremely important to keep up with the news up until lock. If you are new to NBA DFS, players often get ruled so staying on top of […]

We’re continuing to miss out on the late games for Friday’s NBA DFS slate as well, since all eight games on the slate tipoff by 8 p.m. ET. We also have some big names missing once again, but now the teams around them have been priced appropriately for the most part. It should be a […]

With an afternoon game in Paris between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Brooklyn Nets, Thursday’s NBA slate is down to a modest four games, though there is still plenty of value to be had thanks to the Dallas Mavericks.

For just a four-game NBA DFS slate, Thursday is loaded with star power, even with Luka Doncic already being ruled out. Boston and Oklahoma City are on the second leg of a back-to-back so that brings an added element to the slate but we’ll have to find some values.    1. Jaden Hardy started the […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Wednesday (1/10)
For an eight-game NBA DFS slate, Wednesday could wind up being a chalky one, because we have a lot of players up in the air. The Minnesota Timberwolves didn’t even get into Boston until early Wednesday afternoon, and they’ve already ruled out point guard Mike Conley. We’ve got other slate-defining players that are listed as […]

We’ve got eight NBA games on both DraftKings and FanDuel Wednesday, since they elected to not have any late games. I still don’t get any logic behind this move when they had a DFS slate Sunday that had a 3.5-hour gap between the first and last game, but I digress. There are going to be […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Tuesday (1/9)
There are five NBA games ahead of us Tuesday night, and for once, we actually have some strong value plays in DFS.

There are only five games on Tuesday’s NBA DFS slate for the NBA, but there was slate-changing news late Monday night as the Memphis Grizzlies announced that Ja Morant tore his labrum and needs season-ending surgery. It’s a shame for the Grizzlies and the NBA that the young point guard will miss even more time, […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Saturday (1/6)
We only have four NBA games in front of us Saturday, but some important questionable tags are vital to the DFS slate. As of now, we have some solid value and some questionable chalk that I think I’d prefer to not play, but we’ll see how things develop in the next couple of hours.  Just […]

After a massive NBA DFS slate like we had Friday (at least on DraftKings) and a ton of news that happened after lock, sometimes it’s nice to see just four games on the schedule. That’s where we find ourselves this evening and seven of the eight teams are on the second leg of a back-to-back, […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Friday (1/5)
Friday features an 11-game DFS slate around the NBA with a couple of repeat matchups from a few days ago. It is a bit of an interesting slate, as DraftKings includes all 11 games on their main slate, while FanDuel is only incorporating eight on their main slate. As always, be sure to follow the […]

DraftKings and FanDuel took a very different approach to the Friday NBA DFS slate, because DK has an 11-game slate while FD has only eight. I’m not exactly sure why FD chopped off games for the main since there are 14 games total on Friday. Even DK has just started to pretend the West Coast […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Thursday (1/4)
After a wild Wednesday in the NBA, we can kind of take a breath on Thursday with just two games. We have the Spurs facing the Bucks and the Warriors taking on the Nuggets. DraftKings and FanDuel didn’t give us much of a break on pricing for this slate, so lineup construction could be a […]

A very light two-game NBA slate awaits us Thursday, making for a challenging DFS slate.  The Bucks are 9.5-point road favorites at San Antonio, a team they defeated 132-119 at home in December. The Nuggets are also road favorites, entering Golden State with a 3.5-point projected advantage.    1. Giannis’ Versatility We are approaching the […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Wednesday (1/3)
We aren’t going to get the late NBA DFS hammers Wednesday on either DK or FD, as the sites decided not to include the 10 p.m. ET games, so that changes the strategy of how we’re going to build our lineups. We’re still learning about some players in new roles after the Knicks and Raptors […]

Both DraftKings and FanDuel are back to pretending that the West Coast doesn’t exist, because neither platform included the NBA’s 10 p.m. ET games Wednesday, chopping the day’s DFS slate down to 10 games. It was an interesting experiment, but now it’s getting a bit annoying to not have the hammers in the late window […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Tuesday (1/2)
Both DraftKings and FanDuel elected to include Tuesday’s late NBA games on the six-game DFS slate, and by the looks of things, those games are quite popular. The Warriors might be the chalkiest team on the slate since they have a new starting lineup and it may be wise to lean into some of it […]

We’ve got another six games in the NBA Tuesday, and on DK, no player is over $11,000, and it might be easier to fit some star players here in DFS. The FD pricing is more of what we’ve come to expect and just like Monday night, we do have games that projecting for a blowout. […]
