5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS November 14
The NBA’s in-season tournament continues Tuesday with 10 games, and we’re already missing important players. The mid-range of point guards is a sea of red with players marked “out” but at least every game is under a 10-point spread. Let’s dig in and see what we can find. 1. Detroit is tied for the […]

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS November 13
We get a four-game NBA DFS slate Monday night, but it could be a bit of a difficult one to navigate. Three of the four games have a spread of at least nine points and as of right now, there aren’t a ton of strong value plays. Let’s start finding our targets for the slate. […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Sunday (11/12)
Before we get too far into Sunday, we need to extend one more huge congratulations to FTN member Dello for taking down $100,000 on Saturday night! Sunday brings us another seven games, and Miami likely won’t offer us the same value since Jimmy Butler is expected to play on Sunday. Things could change a lot […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Saturday (11/11)
It’s a bit of a weird night, since the slates aren’t the same on DraftKings and FanDuel. The latter site chopped off the Milwaukee Bucks game for only three games, while DK included that game, bringing their total to four. Let’s talk about the core plays for each slate on Saturday night.

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS November 11
There are only four games on the main slate for Saturday night (FanDuel decided to make it just a three-game slate because…reasons), but there are already players who will miss the action. Jimmy Butler has been ruled out for personal reasons and Tyler Herro is injured, so the Miami Heat stand to be a very […]

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS November 10
We’re back to having a very solid NBA DFS slate Friday, with another nine games in front of us, generally one of the best number of games. We have options to choose from but we’re not going into double-digits to be overwhelming. At least Friday’s slate saw LaMelo Ball be priced correctly on DraftKings, unlike […]

The NBA only has two games on the schedule Thursday evening, and both the Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers played Wednesday night. The Atlanta Hawks and Orlando Magic play later in the evening, so we certainly have some choices of players to spend on in DFS. 1. The Bucks allow the most points per […]

Friday night was arguably the best night of hoops in the young NBA season with an overtime game and a late matchup that threatened 290 real points combined. I’m not sure if Saturday’s seven-game slate will be nearly as enjoyable, but we have a lot of appealing matchups and spots to attack. 1. Utah […]

We have a seven-game NBA DFS slate Friday. As of now, it appears that balanced lineups are going to be the way to go. There isn’t a ton of reliable value so the likes of Luka Doncic and Nikola Jokic will be harder to pay for. Let’s talk about who the main targets are keeping […]

Thursday’s four-game NBA DFS slate could be a challenge if we don’t get some news during the day, because the biggest piece of the puzzle is Devin Booker, and the Suns are the last game of the night. There isn’t much of a realistic pivot on FanDuel, although it’s a bit easier to work with […]
