DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/6/19): NBA DFS Lineups
With a 10-game slate Friday night, only the Nuggets and Wizards also played Thursday, so while I'd suggest picking against the Wizards, there is no real reason to target the Nuggets.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (11/16/19): NBA DFS Lineups
There was some speculation before tip-off Friday that Russell Westbrook would be missing one of the two Rockets games this weekend.

Maybe I am the only thinking about... Read More

After watching last night's game versus the Knicks, It's hard to trust anyone on the Dallas Mavericks not named Luka Doncic or Kristaps Porzingis.
