5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS March 27

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. […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! TNT Tuesdays are back with a few games that should be very good. All four games feature teams fighting for the best seed possible for the playoffs. It’s March, so the injury report is long, but for the most part, the best players for every team will be on the […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! The college kids are on break, but fear not, there is plenty of basketball to watch thanks to the professionals. There are 11 games Monday, but not many that are expected to be close.   The average spread for the day’s games currently sits at 11 points, which is the […]

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 […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! March is full of madness, and not just in the college ranks. The Thunder, Nuggets and Timberwolves are all withing 1.5 games of the top seed in the Western Conference, which gives them homecourt advantage in every series until the Finals.

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 […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! Normally I would be writing here about how upset I am that this is not a TNT Tuesday night of NBA action, but looking at the slate, I understand that decision.   March NBA basketball is very fickle and not for the weak of spirit. Teams’ motivations are unclear and […]

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 […]

There are another six games on Saturday’s NBA DFS main slate, and despite one game standing out from the rest, it’s not a bad slate overall. Most of the games are definitely more enjoyable for fantasy than real-life hoops, but let’s dive in and see who we like.    1. The Pacers allow the most […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! The NBA seasons grind on with a six-game slate Friday. To be honest, it’s a messy group of games. We do get to see Nikola Jokic go against Victor Wembanyama, but any other potential marquee matchups are marred by player availability concerns. 82 games is a lot to play in […]

Thursday’s NBA DFS slate has a chance to be a truly crazy one because there are a ton of injuries we don’t have answers for yet. Multiple players left games Wednesday early, not to return. March typically brings us a lot of injuries and some teams are already playing for next season anyway. Let’s get […]

We’ve got another interesting seven-game NBA DFS slate on tap for Wednesday, and on this slate, we don’t have a typical late-night hammer. Every game is starting by 8:30 p.m. ET although I guess Luka Doncic could be considered the hammer. Let’s get to work and talk about who we like.    1. The Toronto […]

The NBA treks forward with another seven games Tuesday, and as is usual at this point of the year, there are plenty of injury issues to deal with in DFS. There is also at least one very suspicious line as the Celtics are on the second leg of a back-to-back but are 6.5-point favorites in […]
