5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS February 12
It’s a quiet day on the NBA front (I think there might be a big game happening for another sport later on Sunday), so there are only two games. That’s just fine because we still have some quality options to choose from, and both games have reasonable totals, although the spread is 11 points […]

NBA DFS Game-by-Game Breakdown (2/12)
It might be Super Bowl Sunday, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have some NBA action, even if it is just two games. There is plenty of fantasy appeal in these two games, even though the Memphis Grizzlies visiting the Boston Celtics will get most of the headlines. Memphis Grizzlies at Boston Celtics Celtics […]

NBA Best Bets of the Day (2/12)
The NBA has a small two-game early slate on Super Bowl Sunday. The first game is a much anticipated one between the Memphis Grizzlies and Boston Celtics. The second game is not as sexy, with the Pistons and Raptors squaring off. Many of our sportsbook partners are offering some crossover props today with the […]

NBA DFS Game-by-Game Breakdown (2/11)
The NBA keeps right on rolling Saturday with another eight games, and as of now, it might be relatively light on the injuries toward the top of the DFS pricing grid. DraftKings also continues to have some glaringly low salaries for some players that we can take advantage of. Philadelphia 76ers at Brooklyn Nets […]

There are 11 games in the NBA Friday. All but two of them are under double-digit spreads, and we have another grouping of high totals.

Fallout of the NBA Trade Deadline
With all due respect to The Last of Us (an amazing show, by the way), the best show on television right now is the National Basketball Association.
