Chris Bosh (PF, MIA) and Justise Winslow (SF, MIA) - Stack on DraftKings 1/25
Chris Bosh (at CHI, $7,700) The Bulls simply aren't good at defending forwards this season, and have allowed plenty of fantasy points to power forwards as well as small forwards. Bosh has not been wowing fantasy owners with explosive performances of late, but the veteran has been consistent all season, and recently, posting over 30 and […]
Demetri 9 years agoKevin Durant (SF, OKC) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/24/16
Kevin Durant (at BK, $9,500) Durant is by far the best player at the three-spot on Sunday. He has scored 20 or more points in 30 straight games played. Yes, 30 straight. Durant is always a solid play in DFS, for all formats, and continuously spreads stats across the board. He has a great matchup against the Brooklyn […]
Demetri 9 years agoDeMar DeRozan (SG, TOR) and Terrence Ross (SG, TOR) - DraftKings Stack on 1/24/16
DeMar DeRozan (vs LAC, $8,300) DeRozan has been on fire the past three games, averaging a little over 32 points, 47.7 fantasy points, five assists, and four rebounds in that span. DeRozan is the second best option at the two-guard on Sunday, and is almost $2,000 cheaper than James Harden. With the exception of Harden's insane 80 fantasy […]
Demetri 9 years agoDeAndre Jordan (C, LAC) - Solid DraftKings Play on 1/24/16
DeAndre Jordan (at TOR, $7,200) Jordan's price continues to surprisingly plummet, but that just makes him an even more appealing pick at center. Jordan has posted a double-double in ten of his last 11 games and has grabbed double-digit rebounds in 21 of 23. He's the top choice on Sunday at his position. Jordan has also been […]
Demetri 9 years agoJason Terry (PG, HOU) and Corey Brewer (SF, HOU) - DraftKings Stack on 1/24/16
Jason Terry (vs DAL, $3,200) Terry got the starting nod Friday night against the Milwaukee Bucks, and exceeded his average fantasy points per game with six points, three steals, two assists, and a rebound. Now understandably, these are numbers that Russell Westbrook can post in about two minutes, but Terry is over $7,000 cheaper than the Energizer-Bunny point guard […]

With the snow finally coming to a blistering halt, hopefully, no games are set to be postponed on Sunday's short slate. Four games are on the card. Today's lineup features a handful of Rockets, one of whom is facing his former team, four big names that have been consistently productive, and a couple of low-priced […]

Last week, we discussed two methods to help manage salary caps for Daily Fantasy basketball; the Well-Rounded and Stud/Dud approaches. Both methods rely on the amount of games slated for the night. The Well-Rounded caters to heavier slates, selecting the majority of players all in the same price range of $6,000-$7,000. While the Stud/Dud method […]

Demetri 9 years agoDonald Sloan (PG, BKN) - Value Play on DraftKings 1/18
Donald Sloan (at TOR, $4,500) I picked Sloan last week and I'm sticking by him this week. As long as Jarrett Jack remains sidelined, Sloan is a solid pick for his cheap price. He won't appear in the headlines but he's been doing just enough with his boost in minutes to please daily fantasy owners. And […]
Demetri 9 years agoJonas Valanciunas (C, TOR) - Value Play on DraftKings 1/18
Jonas Valanciunas (vs BKN, $6,100 ) The Brooklyn Nets have handed over the most fantasy points to centers this season. The likes of Andre Drummond, Nikola Vucevic, and Robin Lopez (which of the three don't belong?) have recently found much success, equivalent to their price, against the Nets. The last time the Raptors played Brooklyn two weeks […]
Demetri 9 years agoLeBron James (SF, CLE) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 1/18
LeBron James (vs GS, $9,800) You already know The King has one thing on his mind come Monday: revenge. After losing in the NBA Championship last season to the Warriors, LeBron's fourth straight appearance to the ship, the Cavaliers dropped a close game in Golden State on Christmas. The scene now shifts to Cleveland for their second […]
Demetri 9 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/18/16
There are ten games on Martin Luther King Day, six of which are being played before 7:00 PM Eastern time. So get your lineups in early while there is plenty of action to choose from. This should help a bit. Today's lineup features plenty of players hoping to benefit from their favorable matchup, a couple […]
Demetri 9 years agoLavoy Allen (C, IND) - DraftKings Sleeper on 1/17/16
Lavoy Allen (at DEN, $3,400) For his price, Allen has a good chance of reaching value and impacting a fantasy lineup with 15-20 fantasy points. Allen is the type of guy that can free up plenty of cap space to go after guys like Westbrook, Durant, Harden, George, etc., all of whom hold tremendous value on a […]
Demetri 9 years agoKevin Durant (SF, OKC) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/17/16
Kevin Durant (vs MIA, $9,700) Do we ever need a reason for picking Kevin Durant in daily fantasy? Take a few seconds to shake your head, mouth the word 'no' and get ready. Because I'm going to give you a couple reasons anyway. The Heat have relinquished the most points to small forwards in the league this […]
Demetri 9 years agoTy Lawson (PG, HOU) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/17/16
Ty Lawson (vs LAL, $3,800) Lawson is handcuffed to the status of Patrick Beverly, who missed action earlier in the week. Lawson and Jason Terry inherited minutes, and would again if Beverly sits. Terry simply doesn't have much left, while Lawson, who although has had his fair share of ups and downs this season, can do more for a […]
Demetri 9 years agoDwight Howard (C, HOU) - Smart DraftKings Play on 1/17/16
Dwight Howard (at LAL, $7,700) The poor Lakers. Los Angeles has also allowed the second most fantasy points to Centers this season. Insert Dwight Howard into the DFS lineup equation, and success will likely emerge after the equal sign. Despite his continuous Shaq-impersonation from the charity stripe, Howard is showing shades of his former dominance, inside the […]
Demetri 9 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/17/16
There are only five games on Sunday's slate, requiring a heavy look at matchups more so than recent performances. On a shorter card, it's important to select cheaper players to make room for the Westbrook's and the Curry's, who will likely all be heavily owned despite their prices. The mid-range and lower level guys come […]
Demetri 9 years agoNBA DFS Cap Management, Part 1: The Well-Rounded & Stud/Dud Approaches
Since it isn't real money, we should spend it all, right? Daily Fantasy participants often make the mistake of feeling the need to leave $0 left in their remaining salary, hoping to maximize production by draining every last penny in the proverbial bank account DraftKings and FanDuel provides us. What's the point in wasting $400, […]

Demetri 9 years agoChris Bosh (PF, MIA) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 1/11
Chris Bosh (at GS, $7,800) If the Heat want to hand the Warriors only their third loss this season, they'll need a big performance from their veteran power forward. Granted I'm talking as if the Heat aren't a good team this year, but with the way Golden State has been playing, they could give the famous […]
Demetri 9 years agoDerrick Rose (PG, CHI) and Jimmy Butler (SG, CHI) - Stack on DraftKings 1/11
Derrick Rose (vs WAS, $6,000) Rose appears to finally be healthy, for now. He has scored double-digits in seven straight, while his minutes continue to teeter around and exceed 30 minutes a night. Rose has posted 30+ fantasy points in four out of his last five, and will likely be pinned against one of the league's […]
Demetri 9 years agoDonald Sloan (PG, BKN) - Value Play on DraftKings 1/11
Donald Sloan (vs SA, $3,700) Disaster can harshly described what's been going on for the Nets this season, even more so once Jarret Jack went down with injury. Newly appointed starting point guard Shane Larkin hasn't really impressed in his relief role, nor has Markel Brown in the emerging opportunity. Although Saturday night, Donald Sloan may […]
Demetri 9 years agoDraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/11/16
There are only three games on Monday's slate, tightening up competition. When there is a shorter schedule, it's important to pick players who could break out, but also those who aren't heavily owned. Players who could feast on certain teams' inability to defend their position. Tonight's lineup features a couple of veterans, a point guard […]

Injuries and matchups will always factor into putting together a solid DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball lineup. All we can ever do is hope that the favorable matchups on paper result to production on the court.

Demetri 9 years agoAndre Drummond (C, DET) - Must-Play on DraftKings for 1/4/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ORL, $9,200 ANALYSIS: No matter his price, Drummond is always worth the nod. The center has 29 double-doubles in 34 games this season, and has failed to reached double-digit rebounds in only three. His average of 16.1 rebounds a night is higher than what most players average scoring a night. Drummond's value is […]
Demetri 9 years agoJohn Henson (PF, MIL) - DraftKings Sleeper Play on 1/4/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs SA, $4,100 ANALYSIS: Henson has posted 20+ fantasy points in four of Milwaukee's last six games. The former Tar Heel plays just enough behind starter Jabari Parker to produce efficiently for his cheap price. The Bucks draw the Southwest Division leading Spurs, in what will most likely be a lopsided affair, showcasing plenty […]
Demetri 9 years agoDraymond Green (PF, GSW) - Elite DraftKings Play on 1/4/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs CHA, $9,900 ANALYSIS: If Green's price was five-figures, I probably wouldn't pick him. Okay, so maybe that's a lie, but the Warriors starting power forward enters Monday high off of a 86.75 fantasy point performance. It's unlikely that Green will duplicate his stats from Saturday but he is always a triple-double threat and […]
Demetri 9 years agoJae Crowder (SF, BOS) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/4/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at BK, $6,200 ANALYSIS: Crowder will also benefit, as those on Golden State, of openings on the court, as other Celtics in the starting lineup are likely to be sidelined. Avery Bradley has officially been ruled out of Monday night's game, while Isaiah Thomas is the only other potent scoring threat on Boston. Crowder […]
