For the first time in what feels like quite a while, we have a full eight-game NBA DFS slate with late games on both DraftKings and FanDuel Wednesday. Three games don’t start until late so this slate is a more unique challenge, although we don’t have a ton of injuries to deal with Wednesday (famous […]

It looks like a fun night of basketball Tuesday night, and even though we have just five games, there are some fun fantasy and DFS options. We also have the last game on the slate between the Nuggets and Timberwolves in a battle of teams standing near the top of the West to look forward […]

DraftKings and FanDuel have very different slates for Monday night, as DK decided to give us every game for once, meaning they have an eight-game main slate. FD only went with a five-game main slate, so the complexion is totally different. Regardless of which site you’re playing, it’s a challenge since only one game has […]

There are another six games on Saturday’s NBA DFS main slate, and despite one game standing out from the rest, it’s not a bad slate overall. Most of the games are definitely more enjoyable for fantasy than real-life hoops, but let’s dive in and see who we like. 1. The Pacers allow the most […]

FanDuel and DraftKings are very different in how they’re approaching Friday’s NBA DFS slate. DraftKings has a six-game slate but has gone back to non-late swap, while FanDuel has elected to trim the slate to just five games. Let’s get into who we’re targeting for this Friday night slate. 1. Bradley Beal might sucker […]

Thursday’s NBA DFS slate has a chance to be a truly crazy one because there are a ton of injuries we don’t have answers for yet. Multiple players left games Wednesday early, not to return. March typically brings us a lot of injuries and some teams are already playing for next season anyway. Let’s get […]

We’ve got another interesting seven-game NBA DFS slate on tap for Wednesday, and on this slate, we don’t have a typical late-night hammer. Every game is starting by 8:30 p.m. ET although I guess Luka Doncic could be considered the hammer. Let’s get to work and talk about who we like. 1. The Toronto […]

The NBA treks forward with another seven games Tuesday, and as is usual at this point of the year, there are plenty of injury issues to deal with in DFS. There is also at least one very suspicious line as the Celtics are on the second leg of a back-to-back but are 6.5-point favorites in […]

We close out the week Friday with a modest six-game NBA DFS slate that doesn’t feature many games with high totals. And, of course, injuries continue to play a huge factor, especially in Minnesota and Cleveland. As always, be sure to follow any and all news that drops throughout the day. 1. Dejounte Murray […]

Thursday’s seven-game NBA DFS slate is a bit larger than most Thursday slates, but we have some great games. It’s headlined by a potential NBA Finals matchup with the Celtics visiting Denver looking to avenge their loss earlier this season in Boston. That game and others offer us plenty of options to choose from. […]

Wednesday presents an interesting eight-game DFS slate around the NBA that features plenty of injuries. The Cleveland Cavaliers, Utah Jazz and Philadelphia 76ers will likely be short-handed again, and Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as questionable for Milwaukee. Below are five stats that stand out as I take a look at this slate. 1. Opponents […]

Tuesday’s eight-game NBA DFS slate could be a little challenging in some respects, because on DraftKings, six of the top 10 players in salary are either out or questionable. Two of the biggest question marks on the slate are Victor Wembanyama and Jalen Brunson — if they sit out, that opens up an awful lot […]

It’s another good night of NBA action on Monday. We have six games, and a couple stand out as far as the total. We have two contests that are over 238, while the other four games are under 228, so there is a sharp contrast this evening. There is also a difference between DraftKings and […]

Saturday night’s three-game NBA DFS slate could be a challenge because there is plenty of star power to choose from, but we might wind up being value-starved. If we don’t get enough value, some of the most appealing stars on the slate might be more difficult to fit but we’ll have to see how the […]

Friday brings a different spin on the seven-game NBA DFS slate, because DraftKings has elected to run their contests without late swap for the first time. The logic of that move is … shaky, seeing as how we still don’t have the later games on the slate, but that’s the hand we’ve been dealt. […]

The NBA rolls on with six games Thursday night, and once again, we miss out on some of the better games on the schedule in DFS simply because they’re later in the night. Arguably the two best games of the night aren’t on the main slate even though last night we had late games. However, […]

We’ve got a much bigger NBA DFS slate Tuesday, with nine games to choose from and DraftKings, and FanDuel have left off the late games once again. As of now, there aren’t too many injuries to deal with, but it’s getting later in the NBA season, so that can change by a lot before the […]

There are only four games on the NBA slate Monday night, but we have some fun matchups to go through.

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Sunday (2/25)
The seven-game slate for the NBA on Sunday night is likely to be quite chalky.

Saturday brings us a weird NBA DFS slate, since we only have three games and only Jayson Tatum is over $10,000 on DraftKings or FanDuel.
