Jonathon Simmons (SF, SA) - DraftKings Sleeper on 1/27/16
Jonathon Simmons (vs HOU, $3,100) It looks like Simmons has worked his way into the San Antonio offense with a few injuries to their big men. Tim Duncan will likely sit out again tonight, which means Simmons will play around 25 minutes. He isn’t the best fantasy player in the world, but he’s extremely cheap and he’s averaging slightly...

Rodney Hood (SG, UTA) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/27/16
Rodney Hood (vs CHA, $5,900) Hood is playing big minutes for the Jazz, as he’s averaging 34.1 minutes per game over the last 10 days. He’s also producing well in those minutes, averaging 18.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game over that span. Tonight, he gets a great matchup against the Hornets, who have really...

Andre Drummond (C, DET) and Ersan Ilyasova (PF, DET) - DraftKings Stack on 1/27/16
Andre Drummond (vs PHI, $8,500) Drummond has been awful recently, as he has scored 17.5 and 17.0 fantasy points in his last two games. He has also flashed his upside, though, as he scored 56.5 fantasy points in the game before those. Tonight, he gets a matchup made in heaven, as the Sixers have a terrible defense,... Read More
Stephen Curry (PG, GS) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/27/16
Stephen Curry (vs DAL, $10,700) It’s tough to avoid Curry right now, as he has been hitting value in limited minutes and exceeding value when playing a full game. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 34.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 7.0 assists, and 2.6 steals in 32.5 minutes per game. He has been able to reach value... Read More

Lebron James (SF, CLE) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/23/16
LeBron James (vs CHI, $9,700) LeBron James hasn’t been playing all that well over the last 10 days, but he is coming off a huge game against the Clippers. He has flashed tremendous upside, as he has the ability to triple double on any given night, and he gets a great matchup against a weak Chicago defense... Read More
Dennis Schroder (PG, ATL) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/23/16
Dennis Schroder (at PHO, $4,900) Teague and Schroder are splitting minutes in Atlanta, and Schroder is cheaper, which is why he gets the write up. This game could also be a quick blowout, and the Hawks will likely give Schroder more minutes if that’s the case. He’s been playing well over the last 10 days, as he’s averaging... Read More
DeMarcus Cousins (PF, SAC) DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/23/16
DeMarcus Cousins (vs IND, $10,700) Boogie is on a roll right now, and there’s no stopping him. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 29.4 points, 14.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 blocks, and 1.2 steals per game. He get a great matchup against the Pacers, who he dominated for 51.5 fantasy points earlier this season. Cousins plays big... Read More
Wille Cauley-Stein (C, SAC) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/23/16
Willie Cauley-Stein (vs IND, $4,300) There are a few great elite options tonight, which means you’re going to have to find a few value players, and WCS fits the bill. He recently returned from injury, which is why his price is so low, but he has played 29 and 30 minutes in his last two games, and... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/23/16
The NBA really needs to do something about their injury report policy. I understand a player being doubtful and still playing, but Dwyane Wade was ruled out last night before warming up and playing just before the game started. Making a stricter injury report would help DFS players tremendously. In this article, I will be... Read More
Aaron Gordon (SF, ORL) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/22/16
Aaron Gordon (vs CHA, $4,400) The Magic hinted that they would change the starting lineup for tonight, which most likely means Aaron Gordon will start at power forward for Channing Frye. Gordon has played at least 27 minutes in three of his last four games, and he’s averaging 27.1 fantasy points per game in those three games. A... Read More
Carmelo Anthony (SF, NYK) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/22/16
Carmelo Anthony (vs LAC, $8,300) I’m going to continue to use Melo until DraftKings raises his price a bit. He’s entirely too cheap, as he’s averaging 22.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 6.8 assists per game over the last 10 days, including a game in which he only played 18 minutes. He has been shooting the ball over... Read More
James Harden (SG, HOU) & Terrence Jones (PF, HOU) - DraftKings Stack on 1/22/16
James Harden (vs MIL, $10,000) Harden has really been struggling recently, but he’s coming off a huge triple double, in which he scored 33 points with 17 rebounds, and 14 assists. In that game, Dwight Howard was injured early on, which gave Harden the opportunity for more rebounds. Tonight, Howard will be out again, and Harden will likely handle... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/22/16

He’s playing huge minutes for the Sixers, and he’s the clear focal point of their offense. He gets a great matchup against the Magic, who love... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/20/16
Dwight Howard's season began with some struggles because the Rockets wouldn't use him on offense, but that looks like it's fixed. He scored 36 points with 26 rebounds in his last game, and he is playing as well as anyone in the NBA right now. In this article, I will be providing you with Daily... Read More
DeMarcus Cousins (PF, SAC) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/16/16

Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging a ridiculous 33.0 points, 14.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 2.0 steals per game. He’s also averaging 40.5 fantasy points in only 24.6 minutes per game... Read More
Trey Lyles (PF, UTA) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/16/16
Trey Lyles (vs LAL, $4,500) Lyles is coming off two of his best scoring performances in his early NBA career, and he played 39 minutes in his last game. The Jazz will be without Derrick Favors and Trevor Booker again tonight, which means Lyles will likely be playing all the minutes he can handle again. He gets a good matchup against... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/16/16
Did anyone see Russell Westbrook last night? He triple doubled in the beginning of the third quarter, but essentially failed to record any stats after that. Talk about about a fantasy disappointment. In this article, I will be providing you with Daily NBA picks for DraftKings for 1/16/16. The picks will range from some of... Read More
Jimmy Butler (SG, CHI) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 1/15
Jimmy Butler (vs DAL, $8,700) Butler has been on fire recently, as he has scored 40+ fantasy points in nine consecutive games, including his ridiculous 81 fantasy point game last night.

George Hill (PG, IND) - Value Play on DraftKings 1/15
George Hill (vs WAS, $5,200) Hill is one of the most frustrating fantasy players in the NBA right now. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 36.5 minutes per game, but he’s only averaging 13.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game in that time.

Damian Lillard (PG, POR) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/13/16
