FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/30/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
Just six games on tonight's slate with only two players going over the $10K mark. Historically, Nikola Jokic plays well against the Jazz and he keeps his unicorn-ish form even in the face of Rudy Gobert's defense. Unfortunately, the Nuggets struggle to win those games despite Jokic's usually impressive stat line, so if you want... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for Wednesday (1/29/19) - Monkey Knife Fight
Just six games on tonight's slate and James Harden is still listed as questionable after already missing his past two games. Monkey Knife Fight doesn't have props listed for this game, so outside of prop betting, Russell Westbrook is due for a high-ownership, high-usage game. Try to bet around this if you are looking to...

Deeper Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds (Week 15)
This is hard to write so I'll do my best. There's a cloud looming over the entire NBA community, and I only wish the impact was that minimal. There's nothing that can be said to make it better and it seems like the more we talk about it, the sadder the whole situation becomes. Through... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/25/20): NBA DFS Lineups
There are four games on tonight's slate, so if you are looking to spend up, you have two options. LeBron James versus the 76ers or Karl-Anthony Towns facing off against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Anthony Davis is an option as well, but at his price of $9,300, you don't have the luxury of fading or... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/24/20): NBA DFS Lineups
At this point, we are basically rotating most of the same players in and out of lineups since we know what defenses to target on a nightly basis. Tonight is no different, and although there will be some familiar names holding down most of the winning lineups, we need variance to make sure we can... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for Wednesday (1/22/19) - Monkey Knife Fight
For the rest of January and most of February, the NBA is going to be in a weird state. Not only will there be the All-Star break in a few weeks, but the slates are going to be all over the place. In the past week, we had a Tuesday with just one game and... Read More
Deep Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds (Week 14)
The turnaround Marcus Smart has made not only on the court, but in the fantasy atmosphere has been one of the absorbing narratives of the season. There are very few owners willing to trade him, seeing how they most likely drafted him in a later rounds, and this is the first time over the past... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/18/20): NBA DFS Lineups
Today's Saturday slate has plenty of options and with nine games, we are going to have to get creative with some of our lineups. There are plenty of value plays and no shortage of high-tier players, but with how the games are structured, the Rockets - Lakers contest clearly holds the most weight tonight. Whether... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/17/20): NBA DFS Lineups
With seven games on the slate, it's important to note the amount of injuries within the Bulls/76ers contest. The Bulls are missing key players and while that has made Zach LaVine a nightly target, finding the right value plays for them has a chance to push lineups to the next level. Similar to the Wizards/Raptors... Read More
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/16/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
Not many games on Thursday's slate and already there are a ton of injury tags hovering next to key players. With how the Boston Celtics are structured offensively, having both Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum listed as questionable, Kemba Walker has a very good chance of posting decent production for his price. That will make... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/15/20 - Monkey Knife Fight
One rule for tonight, have fun. With so many games, there is no shortage of options and there are winners out there. We are going to get into some of the better picks for tonight, but unless you want 6,000 words on a 10-game slate, I am going to have to pick just five out... Read More
Deep Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds (Week 13)
If you haven't noticed, Zach LaVine has taken over these previous two weeks. This isn't to overshadow the production of DeMar DeRozan, Jaren Jackson Jr., or Kyrie Irving's spectacular return, but it should be noted that LaVine is helping owners in every category aside from rebounding and turnovers. The turnovers are a given seeing his... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/11/20): NBA DFS Lineups
Seven games total tonight, but only six on the main slate. With so few games, you have to throw common strategy out the window and take every factor into account. With fewer available options, you are going to see the same players picked throughout the night and failing to roster the guys that go off... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/10/20): NBA DFS Lineups
With Paul George already being listed as out for the Clippers game against the Warriors, look for the Los Angeles bench to pick up the slack like they usually do. Players like Landry Shamet, Maurice Harkless, JaMychal Green, and Rodney McGruder all have increased upside with George listed as out and even Kawhi Leonard is... Read More
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/9/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
Only four games on tonights slate and precision is a must. Prices and value won't matter as much, so we need to roster the top sources of production if we want to cash out.

Deep Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds (Week 12)
Every week we come back to the same problem. Why are these players doing well and my players doing so bad. Luckily, you aren't alone and there are always going to be surprises, especially at this point in the season. Last week, I touched on the importance of the All-Star break and how the best...

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/4/20): NBA DFS Lineups
There are nine games on the slate and like usual, the theme is value. It's always nice when those low-end players hit, but nothing is sweeter than a $3,000 player going off for 44 FPTS with Giannis Antetokounmpo, Brandon Ingram, and Buddy Hield still left to play. There is risk with every single player, but... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/3/20): NBA DFS Lineups
There are just six games on the main slate tonight so don't worry about saving up too much. You'll need to roster the top players regardless of price so feel free to leave a little extra in the bankroll if you need to. Look for the best matchups and when spending up, make sure you... Read More
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/2/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
This will be an abbreviated article because of the late-ness, so bear with me. There are still nine games on the slate, so not only will you need to be perfect with your value plays, but there are going to be some mid-to-high level players that you will need to start. If you do spend... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/1/20 - Monkey Knife Fight
With just a four-game slate this Wednesday, we are pretty limited with our options. Looking over some of the props for tonight and you'll see a ton of action for the Phoenix Suns - Los Angeles Lakers contest and rightfully so. Even with the Lakers defense, both teams score a ton of points and don't... Read More
Deep Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds (Week 11)
Quite a few players have been making a name for themselves during late-December, so make sure you are taking advantage of injuries and ideal streamer plays. For example, Jordan McLaughlin of the Minnesota Timberwolves has already been assigned to the G-League, but that's still 19 points at the start of the week with little to... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/28/19): NBA DFS Lineups
There's no shortage of games tonight with 13 on the main slate, so get your researching goggles on and get ready. When it comes to strategy for nights like tonight, it's easy. Pick the the top sources of production at each position. The winning lineups are going to be eight players that all scored 40-50... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/27/19): NBA DFS Lineups
Let's be honest with ourselves here, some of these games are going to be frustrating. This part of the season is when the NBA is at it's least predictable...most unpredictable....you get what I'm saying, it's hard to predict. Regardless, it's not like we are lost with no bearing of how these games are going to... Read More
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (12/26/19): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
Yesterday started slowly, but just like everyone expected, it picked up with the Rockets-Warriors game. Fortunately for us, we get a late Christmas present with six games and Luka Doncic getting updated from out to questionable. It doesn't mean he will automatically play, but it's a great sign for the Mavericks. If he does miss... Read More
Deep Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds (Week 10)
We are officially in Week 10 which means I can start saying that the season is coming to end to help sell my picks. Not the smartest idea to out myself like that, but it's the truth. The earlier you can forget about the regular season and start focusing on playoffs the better. We will... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/21/19): NBA DFS Lineups
With seven games on the main slate, we have a much higher chance of having some repeating lineups, regardless, there is no real reason to fade anyone because of ownership rates. We need to play the most productive players tonight and since some of these games are lined up to be very high scoring, do... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/20/19): NBA DFS Lineups
With a 10-game slate, it's easy to get carried away focusing on the same names. It's hard to throw around risk when you know there is a safe, low-priced player out there ready to make and break every lineup. With that, expect lower-priced players with either minimized risk or maximized upside. In this article, I... Read More
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (12/19/19): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
Another small, four-game slate this Thursday, but this week the games are particularly interesting. Two games stick out and you know the games I'm talking about. With these teams, we need to find the most productive players in each game, which will be some of the top tier candidates. You will need to find a... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 12/18/19 - Monkey Knife Fight
With eight games available to choose from, there was no shortage of upside and match ups we can absolutely capitalize on. It reached the point where some of these bets felt so safe, that they started to counteract. You ever see a team that, according to numbers, let up a ton of shots but when... Read More
Deep Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds (Week 9)
Two things I wanted to address in this intro and they both revolve around the same narrative. The Suns have been pretty spectacular given they lost on of their better players early in the season, but that suspension is over and is going to immediately impact fantasy scoring. While Deandre Ayton controls the paint like... Read More
