Welcome to Hoops with Noops! This is the final TNT Thursday of the NBA regular season. There are five games Thursday, 15 Friday and 15 Sunday to wrap up the 82-game marathon.   This is a scary time of the year to handicap basketball. Some teams are playing guys we haven’t seen all season let […]

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS April 11

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 […]

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.

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.

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS April 2

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 […]

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.

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! It’s just a two-game slate on what is sadly, not a TNT Thursday, but just a regular Thursday of NBA action. As you may have already figured out, TNT would rather continue its coverage of this “March Madness” I’ve heard about so much.   I hope everyone’s sanity remains intact […]
