DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/17/19): NBA DFS Lineups
With just four games on the main slate, expect most lineups today to consist of the same players. I'l help add in some diversity but just know that there will be four or five players you will need to own tonight in order to cash out, so that's what I'll be doing with my five […]

With seven games on DraftKings main slate, all are fairly good games in terms of DFS. All should be decently high-scoring, but do not shy away from anyone in the Pelicans-Suns game. With the caliber of players in that contest, it's fairly safe to play Julius Randle, Devin Booker, Kelly Oubre Jr., amongst others, but […]

With a six game slate that's stacked at the small forward position, you'll need to pick and choose the right matchup and hope it works out. With LeBron James playing an Eastern Conference contender, Kawhi Leonard playing against the team many thought he would playing for this season, and Paul George heading back to Indiana […]

There are six games on the slate with one game you clearly need to stack. The Warriors face off against the Rockets and while I think Steve Kerr holds back his rotations just slightly, it's still safe to run with most of the Warriors tonight. James Harden needs to be rostered, but DeMarcus Cousins and […]

With seven games on the slate, all I can really think about is why NBA players keep going at Serge Ibaka like he won't punch them in the face. Regardless, with a seven game slate tonight, there are two games that pop out as one's you should consider stacking. In the Mavericks/Spurs game, target the […]
Jake King-Finnen 6 years agoReturns From Injuries and Kelly Olynyk Three's
The season is quickly and sadly coming to a close. There have been so many narratives to follow and players seem to be just now coming into their own. For example, Kelly Olynyk jumped from top-150 value over the past month, to top-25 over the past two weeks. While his role is more than sustainable, […]

With six games on the slate it's easy to see which are the games that you'll be targeting. With the Hawks on the second night of a back-to-back, not to mention being the worst defense versus multiple positions, it opens up the floor for the Pelicans to have some of today's best value. Outside of […]
Jake King-Finnen 6 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/9/19): NBA DFS Lineups
We have a bad slate of games. I won't deny it. None of these games look like they will be fun to watch. Luckily, that's one of the reasons I love and watch basketball on a daily basis. There's always the possibility that the Timberwolves and Wizards have one of the best games of the […]

With a wimpy two-game slate tonight, there won't be much diversity in these lineups. I'll include the higher priced targets in the intro and stack the more in depth picks with value plays and all that good stuff. Since this is a weird slate tonight, you need to be aware of some of the positional, […]

There are 10 games on tonight's DraftKings slate, so make sure you find the right amount of flexibility for your lineup. You will need value and superstars both, so while it's basically necessary that you play Kemba Walker, Blake Griffin, Ben Simmons, Buddy Hield, and Tobias Harris, there is plenty of value that will allow […]

By now, if you are still hunting the waiver wire, that means one thing. Either you are in the playoffs and just securing the best players, or you need production to get you into the playoffs. Either way, I am going to find you those trend-starting players that should be good from here till the […]
Jake King-Finnen 6 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/3/19): NBA DFS Lineups
Eight games total today but DraftKings only has four games on the main slate. Unfortunately, they choose the wrong four games because all the early games contain a majority of the upside. That being said, the Magic have been playing just better basketball lately and even on the second night of a back-to-back, should be […]
Jake King-Finnen 6 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/2/19): NBA DFS Lineups
We have a modest slate tonight, with only two out of conference games, meaning that most of the contests tonight will be competitive. With seeding becoming more and more important every day, The eight games on the main slate have very enticing options. The 76ers-Warriors game will be the game to watch because of the […]

There was a spectacular 11-game slate last night and tonight we are followed up with just six games. There might not be the same type of upside, but they will be competitive games nonetheless. I don't think the Magic will come out of this game victorious, but I wouldn't fade them simply for blowout purposes. […]

After a very modest three-game slate on Tuesday, the league responds with a monstrous, 11-game bonanza. The night won't end this way, but right now every game looks like it has very high upside in terms of competitiveness. Bad teams are playing other bad teams, up and coming teams are playing other up and comers, […]

So, this will be fun. We are one day back into the NBA groove and there are going to be some waiver wire options budding up all over the place for the second half of the season. For the most recent narratives that were established last night, there are already a few players that have […]

Just three games on the main slate means get ready for some repetition. There will be a lot of the same players throughout most of the winning lineups so look for those guaranteed studs and those one or two prime sleepers. The Toronto Raptors starters and bench should have no limitations going up against the […]

We have a fantastic 11-game slate today, which comes right after a very exciting return to NBA action. Not only were the games last night ultra-competitive, but that competitive feel should bleed into today's contests. From what I can tell, there is only game that seems like it will be a lopsided affair. The Celtics […]

WE ARE BACK. WE ARREEEE BACCKKKK. And with a delicious six-game slate, nearly every game guaranteeing solid competition. With the week break, it brings us what seems like an late-Valentines day gift in James Harden's price. Since it's at a reasonable price for being the highest-priced star tonight, you won't be pressed for a remaining […]

Just three games on the slate which means that the All-Star Break is finally here. The biggest storyline continues to follow the Pelicans like a dark cloud, with Anthony Davis semi-willingly causing tension. Since he has asked for a trade, he has posted some of his worst box score numbers in his career. That will […]

We are just at the start of the All-Star Break so of course we have our "last" massive slate for this section of the season. With so many games available, you need to find the super value play to help create a foundation for your lineup. With all the recent trades, there are still a […]
Jake King-Finnen 6 years agoHot Waiver Pickups and Making Sense Of The NBA Trade Deadline
A LOT of "things" happened on Thursday. The most important "thing" is up for debate between two Eastern Conference teams. While Marc Gasol joining the Raptors may not have been seen as a blockbuster deal, I do see it having a drastic impact on the Raptors frontcourt. With Serge Ibaka and Marc Gasol anchoring the […]

Only five games on today's slate so I'l spend this intro covering the early games and then you know the rest. Unfortunately, all the good games will be over and done with before the main slate even starts, so if you want to watch good basketball today, the games start at 2 pm EST. In […]
Jake King-Finnen 6 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/9/19): NBA DFS Lineups
A hefty eight game slate for us this Saturday and one game sticks out more than any other. The Rockets - Thunder game should be the most competitive and that means the upside is there. Rostering both James Harden and Russell Westbrook seems nearly impossible, and Paul George actively talking about defending Harden makes the […]

We have a decent sized six game slate tonight, and in all honesty this is not the greatest grouping of games. It seems that outside of the Trail Blazers - Spurs and Pacers - Clippers, there just isn't that much upside available. You can go in any direction you want as far as lineup building […]
Jake King-Finnen 6 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/6/19): NBA DFS Lineups
This biggest question surrounding tonight's lineup construction will NOT be whether or not James Harden forces this game to be a blowout, but just how many points he scores on the way to this game becoming a blowout. Plenty of people will be fading Harden tonight, but you know I have optimism about this matchup […]

If you are like me, you are excited about the freedom you will have tonight and I'm not talking about DFS lineups. Tonight is the Super Bowl and I probably don't have to tell you that, but I had no clue it was Super Bowl weekend until Friday afternoon. Still not feeling well so I'll […]

I have the flu. I'm going to make this quick. My apologies, but hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow and return with another just, oh-so-exciting DraftKings article. Warriors-Lakers is aimed to be the highest scoring, but I would suggest targeting both the Suns-Hawks and the Kings-76ers contests if you are looking for the most upside. The […]

As of this moment, there are few players making as big of a splash in fantasy leagues as Jahlil Okafor.... OK, maybe the Kristaps Porzingis trade and Anthony Davis trade rumors are the only things people can talk about, but it shouldn't overshadow everything Okafor has done in the past two weeks. He has been […]

The first two games of the night are the complete opposite of the rest of the slate, so note the point totals of those two games before making your lineup. The last four games of the night have a ton of upside and tonight should be all about Steph Curry. He's not cheap, but take […]
