FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Tuesday, 1/14/20
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Tuesday, 1/14/20 After a stressful, hair-pulling Monday full of "who's in and who's out?" things get a little more settled for Tuesday night's six-game slate of NBA action. We've got four of the NBA's six worst defenses playing tonight and a lot of big-name studs going up against them.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $10900 DK - $12600 Opponent - GS Proj Pts FD - 57.76 DK - 62.11 Luka Doncic has hit a bit of a skid. When talking about Doncic however, the thing to consider is that a skid for him would still be a career night for many other NBAers. While he's still posting a double-double every game, scoring no fewer than 19 points on a given night, and stuffing the stat sheet until it bursts, Doncic has failed to pay value in three straight contests. This has brought his FanDuel price down to earth a bit. This could not come at a better time as Doncic and the Mavs head west for a game against the hapless Warriors. Golden State is a bottom dweller not only in the standings, but also defensively against opposing point guards. This is an excellent time to take a chance on Luka, who should dominate tonight, crushing value on FanDuel, and though the DraftKings price is up there, the matchup warrants exposure across the industry. Patrick Beverley FD - $5100 DK - $5300 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 32.32 DK - 31.74 Since we kicked this thing off with a top tier stud, let's balance the point with a bit of value, shall we? Patrick Beverley dominated the aforementioned Warriors on Friday night ending the night an assist shy of a triple-double in 35 minutes of run time. His stat line returned to normal against the Nuggets on Sunday, but tonight he has an opportunity to feast on the NBA's weakest point defense when the Cavaliers come into L.A. Cleveland is top five in raw points, assists, blocks and steals allowed to opposing points. Our NBA...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Monday, 1/6/20
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks - Monday, 1/6/20 Welcome friends to Monday night in the NBA. We've got nine games on the docket for tonight and there is a ton of value up for grabs. Join Jerry as he takes you position by position through some of our NBA projection system's top plays to consider when building your fantasy lineups. Head on over a for your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA FanDuel and DraftKings optimizer, our NFL Optimizer and NHL Projections as well. Plus our new player lab!

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Aaron Holiday FD - $5600 DK - $5800 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 31.2 DK - 32.13 Malcolm Brogdon remains out for the Pacers which means we can continue to count on a healthy helping of Aaron Holiday in the Indiana backcourt. Holiday has started two straight, and seven of the last eight for the Pacers and in that time he has averaged nearly a fantasy point per minute in just under 30 minutes average per game. The Hornets are a slightly above average matchup for opposing point guards, but this game is expected to remain competitive throughout, so I'm not overly concerned about a less than ideal matchup. As long as Holiday can keep himself out of foul trouble he should see more than enough time to get us where we want to be in cash games. J.J. Barea FD - $4200 DK - $4500 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 26.87 DK - 28.79 One minute it looked like J.J. Barea, fresh off a torn Achilles, was going to be riding the pine for much of the season with just the occasional appearance off the bench, but with the recent loss of Tim Hardaway to a hamstring injury, Barea has started two straight contests for the Mavs and has looked quite good doing so. In 32 minutes against the Hornets on Saturday Barea came an assist shy of a double-double and had his second straight game scoring at least ten points. THJ is listed as questionable and could be close to a return so keep an eye on the situation, but if Barea remains in the starting five for Dallas, he is sitting at an optimal price even against a stingy Chicago defense. Consider Kris Dunn (FD $5000 DK $4900) and Tomas Satoransky (FD $5400 DK $5500) on the other side of...
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA Picks – Wednesday 2/27/19
FanDuel NBA Picks and DraftKings NBA picks for 2/27/18 Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA optimizer and our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! 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. Point guard Kemba Walker FD - $8800 DK - $8500 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 45.9 DK - 47.44 Walker was in the $10,000-range not long ago and it's hard to understand why it has dropped so much. In fact, Walker is averaging 47 DK points across his last nine outings, as he's recaptured his early-season form. That's pretty much where our projections are at, as his usage alone makes him hard to overlook. Not only does Walker lead the team with a 30 percent usage rate, but Walker is also leading the team with 35 minutes and 20.3 shots per game. That sort of huge role should be beneficial against a Rockets defense who allows the third-most fantasy points to opposing point guards this season. Goran Dragic FD - $4100 DK - $4700 Opponent - GS Proj Pts FD - 21.4 DK - 22.37 It's weird to see Dragic's price below $5,000 on both sites but he continues to play limited minutes in his return from knee surgery. Dragic played 16 minutes in his first game back and played 23 minutes in his most recent outing. That means we should be looking at 25-30 minutes here, which is all you can ask for from someone of Dragic's ilk. In fact, Dragic averaged 28 fantasy points per game across his first 13 outings before injury while playing 30 minutes per game. If he can reach that 28-point total here, Dragic would be hitting 6-7X value. The uptick in pace can't be harmful either, with Golden State ranking 10th in total pace. There are a ton of injuries to focus on at point guard on this slate. Eric Bledsoe becomes one of the best plays if Giannis Antetokounmpo sits out, as he posts a 27 percent usage rate when he's off the floor. (Update: Giannis is probable to play now). Tyus Jones is also worth considering if Teague misses out for the T'Wolves. Don't forget about Patty Mills either, as he could play big minutes if Rudy Gay and Derrick White are out. Ryan Arcidiacono is also worth considering if Kris Dunn ends up sitting. Shooting Guard Andrew Wiggins FD - $6700 DK - $6200 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 36.71 DK - 36.71 Wiggins is not necessarily my...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Strategy for FanDuel & DraftKings
Daily Fantasy Hockey Strategy for FanDuel & DraftKings Hello hockey fans. I have had many requests for an article to go over my strategy for cash games and GPP's and how they differ. I have also been asked many questions about my daily cheatsheet and some of the advanced stats that are provided and how they can help us make informed decisions when constructing lineups. Well, the time has come so let's get started. Hockey is back and with it come our NHL projections which help inform these picks every night. When you purchase a DFSR NHL subscription to our base hockey projections you also get access to our brand new NFL DFS suite of tools including full projections, optimal NFL lineups and our Player Lab, which includes filters to help you create NFL lineups for FanDuel and DraftKings for any format. It’s a set of tools well beyond anything we’ve ever had, and something we feel will help our users *ahem* tackle the NFL season. If you want to see the numbers behind our projections, create lineups with a single click, or research as deeply as your heart desires, click the button below to test out yourself. MAKE NHL and NFL LINEUPS NOW! First of all, I wanted to touch on some of the websites I use on a daily basis to view line combinations, starting goalies, get advanced stats, and much more. You are doing yourself an injustice if you are not constantly monitoring LeftWingLock or DailyFaceoff. Both sites provide up to date lists of every team's line combinations at all strengths, projected and confirmed starting goalies with links to sources, weekly schedules, injury news, and much more all for FREE. You can also choose to upgrade to a paid service for DailyFaceoff that gives you access to a lineup optimizer, premium chat, and more. For LeftWingLock, you can pay around $3 a year for their smartphone app which gives you all the same information including notifications. For advanced stats, I recommend using Corsica which offers a ton of next level statistics at the team and player level. Last but certainly not least is Hockey Reference which gives you free access to almost any stat imaginable for any player or team in the history of the NHL. Cash Game Strategy A cash game is defined as a contest where around 50% of the field is paid out. It includes 50/50 contests, double-up contests, and head to head contests. The first thing to realize when playing cash games is that you are playing for the long term and really need to be disciplined in your strategy. I am not saying don't ever make adjustments to your strategy...
