Kristaps Porzingis (at BKN, $7,000) Porzingis stated before the draft that his favorite part about the NBA is that he would have a gym that he could practice in every day.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/13/16
There are a plethora of elite point guards in the NBA, including Russell Westbrook and Stephen Curry, but everyone seems to overlook Damian Lillard a bit. He has been on fire, and his price has yet to reach $10,000. He's the leader of his team, and it's about time DraftKings shows him some respect! In... Read More
Pau Gasol (C, CHI) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/9/16
Pau Gasol (at ATL, $8,200) Gasol continues to play big minutes with Noah out, and he has been playing well recently.

Victor Oladipo (SG, ORL) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/9/16
Victor Oladipo (vs WAS, $6,800) Elfrid Payton is questionable tonight, but he wasn’t very close to playing last night, which makes me believe he’s a bit closer to doubtful. Oladipo has dominated in three consecutive starts now, and he has earned the big minutes he’s playing. He gets a good matchup against the Wizards, who love to push... Read More

Klay Thompson (SG, GS) - DraftKings Smart and Solid Play on 1/9/16
Klay Thompson (at SAC, $8,000) Thompson has been scoring exceptionally well recently, and he also has the ability to add a few peripheral stats each night. He gets a great matchup against the Kings, who have really struggled against scorers this season. There is a bit of a blowout factor here tonight, which is worrisome, but Thompson... Read More

Patrick Patterson (PF, TOR) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/8/16
Patrick Patterson (at WAS, $3,700) Patterson hasn’t been a great player, but he is extremely cheap and he plays fairly big minutes.

He gets a good matchup against Washington, and Patterson is the type of guy that... Read More
Kevin Durant (SF, OKC) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/8/16
Kevin Durant (at LAL, $10,300) In his last game, Durant was listed as out, but he ended up starting and scoring 56.75 fantasy points. He also scored 55.25 fantasy points in his game before that, and Durant is catching fire. He has dominated the Lakers in limited minutes this season, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see... Read More
Devin Booker (SG, PHO) and T.J. Warren (SF, PHO) - DraftKings Stack on 1/8/16
Devin Booker (vs MIA, $4,700) Booker is locked into big minutes for the Suns, and he is an extremely talented player. He has scored 35+ fantasy points in two of his last three games, and he has great upside. Booker is a lights out shooter, but he’s also athletic enough to add peripheral stats. It’s very... Read More

Paul George (SF, IND) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/6/16
Paul George (at ORL, $9,100) George has been heating up recently, as he has scored 50+ fantasy points in three consecutive games. He gets a great matchup against the Magic tonight, who love to turn games into shootouts, which will benefit PG13. He played well against them in their one meeting this season, and George’s price isn’t... Read More
Thaddeus Young (PF, BK) - Strong DraftKings Play on 1/6/16
Thaddeus Young (vs TOR, $7,400) It looks like Young is going to be a major benefit of the Jarrett Jack injury, as he managed 52.25 fantasy points in his first game with Jack out. Tonight, he gets a decent matchup against the Raptors, who have been an average defense against the power forward this season. Young has really been... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/6/16
It's absolutely how amazing one injury can stop an entire team. The Suns were a somewhat average team until Eric Bledsoe was injured for the season, and now they are arguably worse than the Sixers. Hopefully Booker can get it going, and prove why he was such a highly regarded prospect. In this article, I... Read More
