Baseball might be in full swing, but the NBA has a great slate of action on Friday with 10 games. True, we have to wade through an injury report that’s about as long as my arm, but that gives cheap players a bigger opportunity and makes it fun to build, so let’s get to work. […]

5 Stats to Know: NBA DFS April 2
The NBA presents a seven-game DFS slate Tuesday that has a handful of relatively shorthanded teams, which isn’t too surprising now that we have entered April. But the key to the slate appears to reside in San Antonio. 1. Jordan Poole has a 34.9% usage rate with both Kyle Kuzma and Tyus Jones off […]

Monday night’s six-game NBA DFS slate might not have the most sizzle to it, but the last two games of the night have major playoff implications. Even the games that may not have playoff teams involved have some fun fantasy spots to target. 1. The Celtics could be a lot more appealing if Jaylen […]

Saturday presents a small three-game slate that is once again headlined by injuries. Damian Lillard will be sidelined for Milwaukee, while the Memphis Grizzlies are depleted, which will present some potential value. 1.

With it being MLB Opening Day, there are only two games in the NBA world Thursday. The Pelicans are easily the most intriguing team on the DFS slate, as they remain without Brandon Ingram, though the Hawks could be pretty shorthanded again, too. 1. CJ McCollum has a 29% usage rate over the last […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! It’s just a two-game slate on what is sadly, not a TNT Thursday, but just a regular Thursday of NBA action.

For once, I’m actually not that upset that we don’t have the late-night hammer, because Denver is taking on a Portland squad that played on Friday night. Not only is the spread enormous, but both Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic are questionable. It’s one less aspect to deal with, although the six-game slate leaves us […]
