DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (3/16/17): NBA DFS Advice
Thursday’s six-game slate has everything. A showdown between two anemic New York teams, Cleveland’s dynamic offense against Utah’s stout defense, even a Serge Ibaka revenge game. Golden State’s healthy big three of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green are all strong options against a weak Magic team, but the chance of a blowout is certainly... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (3/9/17): NBA DFS Advice
Five games occupy Thursday’s slate, with all eyes on a showdown between Kawhi Leonard’s Spurs and Russell Westbrook’s Thunder— a possible playoff preview.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (3/2/17): NBA DFS Advice
Russell Westbrook is priced at $13,300. That’s insane. He needs 80 points to hit value in tournament play, and even if he does reach 5x for cash games, he takes up so much salary that you’ll have to find several very cheap players who will also produce. No, thank you. With Kevin Durant out with... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (1/26/17): NBA DFS Advice
Thursday brings us a short, four-game slate with just one player (Russell Westbrook) above $10k. Eric Bledsoe, Karl-Anthony Towns and Nikola Jokic round out the top tier, with a large drop-off in price following those four.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (1/19/17): NBA DFS Advice
What Thursday’s five-game slate lacks in star-power — only LeBron James, Karl-Anthony Towns and John Wall are above $9,000 — it makes up for in high-upside value plays.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (1/18/17): NBA DFS Advice

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (1/12/17): NBA DFS Advice
Thursday’s slate offers an afternoon game and five night games. The afternoon contest is filled with some enticing options, as both Denver and Indiana rank in the bottom eight in points allowed.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (1/5/16): NBA DFS Advice
Thursday night’s eight-game slate is headlined by Russell Westbrook vs. James Harden Pt. 3, but there is a ton of talent to go around elsewhere. C.J.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/22/16): NBA DFS Advice
Another small Thursday slate means limited options beyond the elite players.

Additionally, Stephen Curry ($8,100) and Kevin Durant ($9,900) are likely to torch the hapless Nets, but in... Read More
