This is a solid slate of NBA games for a Thursday evening. Normally we only have three or four games on Thursdays, but we have seven this time. The Warriors travel to Denver to take on the Nuggets, but that line smells a little fishy with the Nuggets being 12-point favorites. Stephen Curry, Draymond Green […]

Wednesday brings a nine-game NBA DFS slate to the table, and every game has a spread of nine points or less, so it should be a competitive slate. Most of the games have a total of over 230 points and we don’t even have a ton of injury concerns, at least as things stand now. […]

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS February 1
The NBA is not data-driven in the same way that sports like baseball and golf are. In particular, we can’t evaluate individual DFS matchups solely through calculations. However, we can still use both team level and individual statistics to guide our lineup-building process on a daily basis. Here are five stats I want to build […]

Although we have a smaller NBA slate Tuesday with just five games, we do have a lot of star power with a bunch of recent NBA MVPs in action. The Bucks and Sixers are both heavy favorites at about double-digit odds, so I am a little worried about playing some of the overs for the […]
