GOALIE Jaroslav Halak FD - $8700 DK - $7800 Opponent - FLA Proj Pts FD - 19.76 DK - 14.59 Halak went through some struggles through most of December and January but has bounced back in a big way winning six straight starts coming into tonight. During that stretch, he has also posted a .930 save % and now faces a Panthers team that has lost 11 of their last 15 games while scoring just 2.4 goals per game. I try to not lead off with a goalie on the road but with Bruins are still -150 favorites here and with Halak's form, he is my favorite cash game goalie tonight. Martin Jones FD - $7700 DK - $7700 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 16.39 DK - 12.04 If you are looking at going the value route and loading up at skaters you can consider Martin Jones tonight. The season numbers can be tough to look at but the good news is that he has been much better lately winning three straight while stopping 76 of 80 shots( .950 save %) he has faced. There is some risk here as the Wild have been pretty damn good on the road lately but I am willing to overlook this in GPP formats tonight given the upside. Also Consider: Carter Hart(PHI) as a cash game option as he doesn't face a ton of shots on average but the win expectancy is there as the Flyers have been terrific on home ice CENTERS Connor McDavid FD - $8900 DK - $7900 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 22.59 DK - 17.03 There is no shortage of elite centers in plus spots tonight and choosing which one to ride with is likely the key to cashing. Matthews does give you a bit more shot volume and more goal upside but I lean McDavid tonight who is cheaper on both sites leading to the #1 spot in PTS/$ rankings. McDavid may not be on the same level in terms of shot volume but is...

Head on over to my Patreon Page The Florida swing continues this week with a trip to Bay Hill Club & Lodge in Orlando, Florida for the Arnold Palmer Invitational. A loaded field of 121 players is led by World #1 Rory McIlroy and consists of four other players(Koepka, Scott, Reed, Fleetwood) inside the Top 10 in the Official World Golf Rankings. Bay Hill became the host course for this event back in 1979 and has been a staple on Tour ever since. It is a par 72 setup that has a posted distance of 7,454 yards on the scorecard and has ranked Top 15 in difficulty over the last three years(8th, 15th, 9th). The difficulty comes from the number of long iron shots players are forced to hit and it starts with the Par 3's as they are all over 190 yards with three of them 215 yards or longer. The trend continues on the Par 4's as five of the 10 are longer than 450 yards. Looking at the approach shot distribution(pictured below via FNGC), almost 32% of all approaches come from the 200+ yard range. Long irons are the key this week with Strokes: Gained Approach sitting #1 in my model with emphasis on Proximity from the 200+ yard range. Despite the overall difficulty ranking I mentioned above, we have seen the winning score reach double digits in eight straight year and almost reach -20 on a few occasions(Rory McIlroy -18 in 2018, Jason Day -17 in 2016, Matt Every -19 in 2015). This keeps Birdie or Better % fairly high in the model, especially considering the correlation to fantasy scoring, but I will have some Bogey Avoidance in there as well. With all that, let's jump in and take a look at some core plays at each price point. The Course Bay Hill Club & Lodge - Orlando, FL Par 72 - 7,454 yards Greens...
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 2/27/20
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 2/27/20 It is that time of the season where teams are separating themselves after the trade deadline to make a push for the playoffs. This creates some exciting hockey to watch and also ramps up the fantasy games as well. Thursday brings us 10 games so let's jump in and take a look at some core plays for DraftKings and FanDuel at each position.

First time with NBA? Be sure to read our free NBA Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. GOALIE Andrei Vasilevskiy FD - $9200 DK - $8500 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 23.72 DK - 17.64 Much like last night, the goalie position is a tricky one for multiple reasons and it starts with Vasilevskiy. I have talked about him and used him a ton lately but his hot streak came to an abrupt end as he has now dropped three straight while giving up 16 goals against. I am not too concerned tonight considering the quality of goalie combined with the matchup against a Blackhawks team that has dropped nine of their last 11 games and rank outside the Top 20 in overall offense on the season. I will have exposure to Vasilevskiy in all formats. Jordan Binnington FD - $8600 DK - $8400 Opponent - NYI Proj Pts FD - 17.43 DK - 12.71 If you are at all concerned about Vasilevskiy(I am not), Jordan Binnington is most definitely in play tonight. He is coming off a game where he gave up five goals but still got the win which was his fourth straight giving him a 28-11-7 record on the season with a .911 save %. Tonight, he is in a plus spot at home as a -165 favorite against a struggling Islanders team that has lost five of their last seven games scoring just 13 goals and rank 29th in road offense overall. Fire up Binnington in all formats, especially on FanDuel in the mid $8K range. CENTERS Dylan Larkin FD - $6600 DK - $7200 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 14.21 DK - 11.43 There isn't much to get excited about this season if you are a Red...

Head on over to my Patreon Page After a pit stop in Mexico for the second World Golf Championship fo the season, the PGA Tour will begin the four-event Florida swing in Palm Beach Gardens with The Honda Classic. I mentioned last year about the weaker field at this event with it being sandwiched between a WGC event and the Arnold Palmer Invitational. We get a similar situation this year as the field is a bit weaker at the top with Brooks Koepka(#3) the only player currently ranked inside the Top 10 Official World Golf Rankings teeing it up this week. The PGA National Champion Course has hosted this event going back to 2007 so there is plenty of course history trends to look at this week. The course itself is a Par 70 that is posted at 7,140 yards on the scorecard and is annually one of the toughest tests on Tour. Over the last five years, PGA National has ranked Top 5 in difficulty(stroke average) four times with a winning score reaching double digits below par just once. We are also back to a 36-hole cut this week which will include the Top 65 & ties with the past five cutlines being above par(+3, +6, +1, +4, +5). One of the things we will be hearing a ton about this week is the Bear Trap which consists of Holes #15, #16, and #17 which make up one of the toughest three-hole stretches on Tour. That is not the only tough stretch on this beastly course, however, as holes #5, #6, and #7 are also a daunting task and ranked 1st, 5th, & 7th hardest last year(Bear Trap ranked 6th, 11th, & 10th hardest). The fairways are fairly tight here but the biggest defense that forces a lot of players into a "less than driver" strategy off the tee is the thick, gnarly rough. This has led to a...

Pennzoil 400 After an overnight delay and insane finish at the Daytona 500, the NASCAR Cup Series moves on to Las Vegas for the Pennzoil 400 and start of the "real" season. One note before we get into race and track is that while Ryan Newman appears to be making a speedy recovery from the crash on Monday, it will be Ross Chastain stepping in and driving the #6 this weekend in the 38-car field. Las Vegas Motor Speedway is a mile and a half, D-shaped oval intermediate and is considered steep with 20 degrees of progressive banking in the turns. From a fantasy perspective, the biggest thing to realize is that the strategy is completely different from Daytona. We were heavy on almost any driver starting back in the pack at Daytona for maximum exposure to place differential. While place differential is still important(largely dependant on qualifying), we have more laps and a much higher correlation between starting to finish position due to it being much harder to pass on intermediate tracks than it is on superspeedway's. This leads us to a strong dominator strategy which includes laps led and fast laps(Draftkings only) and this track has been a two dominator track as seven of the last 10 races here have seen two drivers lead 50 or more laps. Looking at that same 10 race sample size, there has been a driver lead 100+ laps in six of those races. For the most part, we will be looking at drivers starting near the front for our dominator targets but that isn't always the case as we saw Joey Logano lead 105 laps last...
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 2/20/20
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 2/20/20 Welcome back hockey fans. Before we roll into the weekend, we have a busy Thursday night on the ice with eight games including six of the Top 10 offenses. Let's dig in and take a look at some of my core plays at each position for DraftKings and FanDuel. Premium DFSR members get access to my expert sheets as a part of their membership.

GOALIE Jordan Binnington FD - $8400 DK - $8400 Opponent - ARI Proj Pts FD - 18.11 DK - 13.21 The Blues go back on track on Tuesday shutting out the Devils at home as Binnington stopped all 17 shots he faced. The shot totals are a little concerning for fantasy but the good news is that he and the Blues get another plus home matchup against the Coyotes who are playing a back to back on the road and third game in four nights while also ranking 26th in road offense on the season. I prefer Binnington in cash games but all things considered, he is viable in all formats. Mackenzie Blackwood FD - $7600 DK - $7700 Opponent - SJ Proj Pts FD - 18.66 DK - 13.94 Shot volume is not something we have to worry about with Blackwood as he has faced just shy of 35 shots per game over his last 10. He also comes in scorching hot having won all four starts in February allowing just four goals and has posted a 5-2-2 record with .925 save % in his last 10 starts. He gets to face a very inconsistent Sharks team that has dropped seven of their last 11 games and rank 25th in road offense on the season. Fire him up in all formats. Also Consider: Braden Holtby(WSH) who is the biggest favorite(-194) on the slate and faces a Habs team that has dropped five straight while scoring just 10 goals CENTERS Blake Wheeler FD - $6600 DK - $6100 Opponent - OTT Proj Pts FD - 16.13 DK - 12.36 At center, I am going to start with Blake Wheeler who gives us a path to a very balanced lineup for cash games. He...
