NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Wednesday (12/6)

An 11-game NBA DFS slate awaits us Wednesday, which is sort of a nice change of pace after two-game slates in the past two nights. There are very limited choices for true value tonight but that doesn’t mean that we don’t have some fun options to choose from. Just remember, it’s always going to be […]

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS December 6

We’re back with a normal Wednesday in the NBA, and that means a huge 11-game DFS slate that as of now, does not offer a ton of value. I don’t expect that to change much throughout the day since these teams have had three days off and should be ready to roll for the most […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Tuesday (12/5)

This should be a rare NBA DFS slate where we don’t get any crazy late news and players sitting out unexpectedly. The first night of the knockout stage for the NBA In-Season Tournament was a smash success that produced great games so we can hope that will replicate Tuesday.  Just remember, it’s always going to […]

NBA Best Bets of the Day (12/5)

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! Night two of the NBA In-Season Tournament quarterfinals starts Tuesday, and night one was fantastic. The Boston Celtics did what they often do in elimination games and lost the game in the second half. Their offense comes to a screeching halt at the end of close games because they don’t […]

The serious part of the NBA In-Season Tournament started off with a bang Monday night with a thrilling game between the Celtics and Pacers. Tyrese Haliburton formally announced his stardom in the NBA, and the late game gave us a glimpse into how good the Pelicans could be when they are healthy. Hopefully, we get […]

The knockout stage of the NBA In-Season Tournament kicks off Monday with the Boston Celtics taking on the Indiana Pacers and the New Orleans Pelicans facing the Sacramento Kings.

Thursday’s nine-game NBA DFS slate is one of the largest of the season, and there are some very fun matchups. We do have a game that has a total of nearly 250 points so surely, some of the more popular players will come from Atlanta and San Antonio.    1. Mitchell Robinson is averaging 1.4 […]

Monday’s five-game NBA DFS slate does have some challenges involved because the biggest news of the slate is the status of Nikola Jokic. He’s being listed as questionable but it’s the last game of the night and the pivot options if he’s ruled out late are not ideal. Just remember, it’s always going to be […]

We have an eight-game NBA DFS slate on tap for Friday, and we do have one piece of news that would be of serious importance.
