5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS February 24
Saturday brings us a weird NBA DFS slate, since we only have three games and only Jayson Tatum is over $10,000 on DraftKings or FanDuel. All six teams look relatively healthy, so we could have a straightforward slate (famous last words). 1. Simone Fontecchio is carving out a role in Detroit The Pistons traded […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Friday (2/23)
Friday’s NBA DFS core plays are likely going to have to change at some point with the sheer amount of teams that are on a back-to-back situation. There are still plenty of questionable tags among the slate and players that may sit outm but we can start to highlight what we’re after. Just remember, it’s […]

NBA Best Bets of the Day (2/23)
Welcome to Hoops with Noops! The NBA continues its return Friday with another jam-packed slate of games. We had 12 Thursday night, and we have 10 Friday, which means 13 of the 20 teams playing Friday are on the second night of a back-to-back. The impact of that lack of rest is less than usual […]

The first thing that stands out on Friday’s NBA DFS slate is the difference in the number of games, depending on if you’re playing DraftKings or FanDuel. The former site has cut off all four late games and only has six games on the main slate, while FanDuel has all 10. 1. Toronto is […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Thursday (2/22)
After a rather uneventful All-Star weekend, I for one am glad to have the NBA back. We kick off the second half with a loaded 10-game DFS slate around the league Thursday, but because players had time off, teams are slowly starting to get a bit healthier.

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Thursday (2/15)
The NBA All-Star break kicks off this weekend, but before the festivities, the first half ends with a small three-game DFS slate Thursday. Interestingly enough, the most appealing team on this slate may very well be the Memphis Grizzlies, who seem to be perpetually shorthanded this season.

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! It’s the last night before the All-Star break, and as we saw Wednesday, things can get crazy when some teams are looking ahead to the All-Star game or to some time off to rest. There will be no NBA regular season games until Thursday of next week, but fear […]

The absolute nuttiness that was the Wednesday NBA DFS slate is behind us, and we only have three games Thursday before the NBA kicks into the All-Star break. Three of the six teams played Wednesday, so we could get some players sitting out, which can shift things around but let’s start highlighting who we like. […]

Wednesday night’s NBA DFS slate is guaranteed to get nuts, because we have 12 games and for most squads, it’s the last game before the All-Star break. FanDuel did include the last game of the night, so their slate is 13 games, but a whopping eight teams played Tuesday. We’ll do our best to highlight […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Tuesday (2/13)
There is surely more news to come Tuesday, so the NBA DFS core can change as we go into the night, because Minnesota has yet to submit an injury report. However, we do have a lot of the news that we need to start building our targets for the Tuesday slate. Just remember, it’s always […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Sunday (2/11)
Unsurprisingly, the NBA is not going to play too many games on Super Bowl Sunday, so we only have two matinee games. Unless we get a player ruled out, the builds are fairly difficult here because nobody got much of a price break, and there is limited value to be had. Just remember, it’s always […]

Saturday presents a seven-game NBA DFS main slate with a handful of teams on the second leg of a back-to-back.

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS February 10
We’ve got a seven-game NBA DFS slate in front of us Saturday, and it’s a bit of a weird one since DraftKings doesn’t have a player that costs more than $10,000 and FanDuel’s limit is $10,400. That should allow us to build some balanced lineups but that also doesn’t mean we won’t have some values […]

We’re now under 24 hours away from the NBA trade deadline, and that already might affect the Wednesday DFS slate.
