DFSR’s Daily Fantasy NBA Podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel Wednesday 2/8/17
DFSR's Daily Fantasy NBA Podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel Wednesday 2/8/17 DFSR’s Doug Norrie takes to a solo podcast to break down a huge 12 game NBA slate for FanDuel and DraftKings. Tons to dissect here with almost every NBA team running tonight. He breaks it down game by game spending a bit more time with teams like the Wizards facing the lowly Brooklyn Nets. John Wall, Brad Beal, Markieff Morris and Otto Porter all make for strong cash game plays. There’s also the Cavs who could be without Iman Shumpert tonight and the Pistons squaring up against a fast-pace/ no defense team like the Lakers. He also talks about the Nuggets’ injury situation and who could emerge for them tonight as well as the question marks around the Warriors/ Bulls game. It’s all there and more for a big Wednesday in the NBA. Subscribe to this podcast on...

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard John Wall FD - $10500 DK - $10700 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 50.95 DK - 54.14 Wall has been playing huge minutes recently, and the production has followed. While he may not see 40 minutes against the Nets, he won't have to. This is the best match-up in the NBA, and Wall will demolish them while on the court. He will get to the rim at ease and should be able to get a ton of assists. Brooklyn plays at the fastest pace in the league and gives up the league-worst FPPG to point guards. There are a lot of ways to pay down tonight, and this is written the night before. I am sure more injury news will break, and paying up at a few spots will be no problem. Wall is definitely one of the guys you should consider paying up for, as his floor is extremely solid and the ceiling unquestioned if this one somehow stays close. His price is in the mid-10k's on both sites and will need about 55 to get it done for you. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see that number tonight and could imagine higher if this is a single digit game. Wall is a fantastic option in both cash games and tournaments. The Wizards are a team we will target a bunch tonight, and Wall is the head of the beast. Darren Collison FD - $5400 DK - $5300 Opponent - BOS Proj Pts FD - 27.97 DK - 29.92 DeMarcus Cousins decided to get a technical foul with 1 second remaining in the last game, and it was his 16th technical. A 1 game suspension comes along with your 16th tech, which will force him to miss the match-up with the Celtics. While Cousins would have been one of my favorite plays of the season tonight, we can look elsewhere. Without both Cousins and Gay on the court, there will be a ton of usage up for grabs. Collison is one of those guys who is fine grabbing that usage, and we saw it last year multiple times. Isaiah Thomas is not a scary defender, and Collison will have his way with him. I'm sure it will go both ways, but I think Collison is...

Daily Fantasy NBA News and Injury Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - 2/7/17 Welcome to the daily updates and injury news article. We'll try and update it right up to line-up locks with as much information as comes across our desks. Let's get to it! Last night's picks can be found here, so you can wrap your mind around what you need to be looking at before lineups lock tonight. By the way - we keep our projection system updated with all of the changes as they occur throughout the day right up until lineup lock. Every day. If you want access to that system so you can cut out a lot of the research element, click the button below! START YOUR FREE TRIAL! What We Know Nene Hilario is expected to play This really doesn't do too much, except maybe take away a few minutes from Montrezl Harrell. This does not impact my thoughts on Clint Capela. Caris LeVert has been ruled out LeVert suffered a very serious injury in college, and the Nets have done a great job of using baby gloves on him. This season is a waste, so there is no sense in throwing out one of your future bright spots if not 100% healthy. Bogan Bogdanovic is really the only guy I have any interest in here, and I don't even love him. What We're Waiting to Know Cody Zeller is questionable to play Zeller makes a huge impact for this Hornets team, and his absence would be great. Both Marvin Williams and Frank Kaminsky will get huge upgrades, and I love them both. Spencer Hawes and Roy Hibbert also got traded, so the minutes are a guarantee. The "Every Lineup" Guys Kemba Walker Kemba gets the honor of facing off with the Brooklyn Nets, and that's really all that needs to be said. They play at the fastest pace in the NBA, and lack the ability to cover point guards. Isaiah Whitehead and Spencer Dinwiddie will cover Walker most of the time, and he will have them all in a blender. Walker also plays much better at home, where he has averaged over 3 FP more. I do expect this game to stay close, and we all love to target the Nets. Frank Kaminsky Like I said, we love to target the Nets. The Hornets made a wise move of trading Roy Hibbert and Spencer Hawes to the Bucks, which will leave them very shorthanded tonight. When you add the fact that Cody Zeller is on the bad side of questionable, they could be extremely thin. Marvin Williams and Frank Kaminsky will both be forced into huge minutes, and I will have a...
DFSR’s Daily Fantasy NBA Podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel Tuesday 2/7/17
DFSR's Daily Fantasy NBA Podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel Tuesday 2/7/17 DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take a look at an interesting three game slate in the NBA. Sometimes these small slates can get a little tricky but this one looks packed with value. A lot of that comes from the Hornets getting to face the Nets who of course are the team we always want to target against in DFS. Playing four Hornets is totally in play with Kemba Walker and Nic Batum likely coming in as chalk. James Harden is another chalk play against the Magic though we do need to worry some about the blowout there. The guys also discuss the state of Orlando and how they’ve redistributed minutes in the short term. And finally they talk about the Mavs against the Blazers and whether Yogi Ferrell is still a popular play tonight. Subscribe to this podcast on...

If you want access to that system so you can cut out a lot of the research element, click the button below! START YOUR FREE TRIAL! What We Know Danilo Gallinari is out vs the Mavericks Wilson Chandler is the guy who benefits most here, and is the only guy I have much interest in here against the Mavs. Nelson could also be in play if Mudiay is ruled out. Thaddeus Young is out vs the Thunder Lavoy Allen started last game and hit 40 fantasy points, in place of Thaddeus Young. While I don't expect another 40 piece from Allen, he is a fantastic play. We will touch on him later. Myles Turner could also see some more usage, but he is currently questionable. Keep an eye on twitter as the day winds down. Joakim Noah is out vs the Lakers Willy Hernangomez has been tremendous as of late, and I love him again tonight. The Lakers are weak against bigs, and Hernangomez has been an animal on both sides of the court. With over 30 fantasy points in 3 straight, I would expect nothing less. What We're Waiting to Know Jimmy Butler is questionable to play against the Kings Butler screwed a lot of people just a few nights ago, which i'm sure left a sour taste in a lot of mouths. He is officially a GTD here, and we will likely have no clue by the time lineup locks. This game is in Sacramento, and starts at 10:30 EST, 3 hours after lineup lock. If Butler misses, Wade and grant will benefit most. If Butler pays, I don't have much interest in any of them. Myles Turner is questionable with an illness Turner is an absolutely great play today, which definitely makes this news a bit disheartening. If Turner is announced as a full go, he is one of the betters centers on the board. With Thaddeus Young, this interior could become very thin. If Turner is out, you have to think Al Jefferson will get at least 25 minutes or so. He would be an interesting way...
