GOALIE Carter Hart FD - $7400 DK - $8200 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 17.29 DK - 11.85 In terms of raw points, Bishop gets the edge in the system but I lead off with Hart who is in the better spot overall. It starts with the matchup as the Flyers open as huge -250 home favorites against the Red Wings who have been shutout in back to back games, rank dead last in offense(2.2 goals per game), and hold the worst record in the league. For the Flyers, they have been much better on home ice(7-1-4) led by their young netminder who is 5-1-2 at home with an elite .938 save %. We only get a slight $200 discount from Bishop on DraftKings making the decision a little tougher but on FanDuel, Hart is the play in the mid $7K range. Ben Bishop FD - $8900 DK - $8400 Opponent - STL Proj Pts FD - 18.37 DK - 13.43 Like I mentioned above, Bishop leads the positon in raw points projections but falls to second in my rankings for a couple of reasons starting with the matchup against the defending Stanley Cup champs. The good news is that their offense has not been nearly as powerful with Tarasenko on the IR and the Stars have been a much better team on home ice(9-3-1). Bishop has been a big reason for that with his .938 save % and he also comes in red-hot winning eight of his last nine starts with an eye-popping .954 save %. He is in play in all formats but most of my exposure will be on DraftKings as Hart is just too cheap on FanDuel tonight. Also Consider: CENTERS Nathan MacKinnon FD - $8900 DK - $8500 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 23.92 DK - 19.38 Jack Eichel FD - $8100 DK - $7600 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 22.21 DK - 17.69 The center position is very much the same as...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 11/27/19 After an unusually slow night on Tuesday, we are back with a massive slate on Wednesday with 13 games on the ice including five with a massive 6.5 total. Get ready for another high-scoring night in fantasy hockey with my core plays at each position. Let's get started. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NHL optimizer!

We've got you completely covered. GOALIE Antti Raanta FD - $7900 DK - $8300 Opponent - ANA Proj Pts FD - 22.12 DK - 16.61 It has been a 60/40 split in goal for the Coyotes this season with Raanta getting the nod at home on Wednesday in a great matchup. The Coyotes open as -150 favorites in one of just three games with a 5.5 total on this huge 13-game slate and face a Ducks team that has dropped eight of their last 11 road games while scoring just 2.3 goals per game. Raanta has been consistent all season(5-2-2/.926 save %) and has been red-hot lately coming off back to back wins vs. the Kings where he saved 74 of 76 shots he faced. All things considered, Raanta is my favorite goalie in all formats tonight. Tuukka Rask FD - $9000 DK - $8200 Opponent - OTT Proj Pts FD - 20.23 DK - 15.17 The Bruins are the only team playing on a back to back tonight and on the road which always raises some red flags in terms of targeting goalies but hear me out. First of all, the Bruins are an elite team both at home and on the road and have one of the best goalie duos in the league. Rask has been a little up and down this season but after losing two straight on the road earlier this month, he bounced back in a big way beating Toronto and New Jersey on the road holding them to just three combined goals and has won four straight overall coming into this one. The Bruins are also -165 favorites tonight as they take on the Senators and their 25th ranked offense. I am very high on Raanta and feel he is clearly the best cash game option tonight but feel Rask is an excellent GPP pivot. CENTERS Connor McDavid FD - $9300 DK - $8500 Opponent - COL Proj Pts FD - 23.61 DK - 18.43 Nathan MacKinnon FD - $8800 DK - $8200 Opponent - EDM Proj...
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 11/21/19
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 11/21/19 Welcome back hockey fans. Thursday brings us another monster slate with 13 games on the schedule with none of the 26 teams playing on a back to back or third game in four nights. Let's jump in and take a look at some of my core, GPP, and value plays at each position. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NHL optimizer!

We've got you completely covered. GOALIE Tuukka Rask FD - $8800 DK - $8500 Opponent - BUF Proj Pts FD - 20.63 DK - 14.95 We get a monster 13-game slate on Thursday with a ton of goalie options and I will be starting at the top with Tuukka Rask who is already confirmed and the biggest favorite(-220) on the slate. He has gone 6-2-2 with .920 save % over his last 10 games and has been money at home having yet to lose in regulation time(5-0-2) and has tallied an elite .940 save % with two shutouts. What stands out the most is the matchup against the Sabres who have lost two straight and eight of their last nine games while scoring just two goals per game. All things considered, Rask is my top goalie in all formats. Pekka Rinne FD - $8100 DK - $7900 Opponent - VAN Proj Pts FD - 17.16 DK - 12.11 Juuse Saros FD - $7400 DK - $7700 Opponent - VAN Proj Pts FD - 17.46 DK - 12.37 It is a very similar situation for the Preds tonight who are at home as big favorites(-185) against a struggling team in the Canucks who have dropped three straight and seven of their last eight and sit with the 24th-ranked road offense overall. Rinne is currently projected to start after being pulled in his last game and comes in with terrible form having given up four or more goals in four of his last five after a red-hot start to the season. I am not buying the regression narrative around the 37-year-old former Vezina winner(2017-18 season) and will take advantage of a price drop for a goalie in a plus matchup. Saros isn't really making any case to take over starter duties but if he were to get the nod tonight, I would definitely consider him in GPP formats at his price in this matchup. Also Consider: Jordan Binnington(STL) who is 7-2-1 with a .926 save % in his last 10...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 11/19/19 Welcome back hockey fans. Tuesday brings us a monster 13-game slate tonight which includes eight games with a high 6.5 total so get ready for a ton of offense.

Be sure to read our free NBA Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. GOALIE Ben Bishop FD - $8900 DK - $8300 Opponent - VAN Proj Pts FD - 17.02 DK - 12.2 Bishop was pulled after allowing three goals on 15 shots in Edmonton on Saturday but I am not concerned about the 11-year vet whatsoever. For starters, before that loss, he had held opponents to two or fewer goals in seven straight and has been much better on home ice with a .941 save %(.909 save % on the road). Tonight, he and the Stars are -150 home favorites against a Canucks team who has lost six of their last seven games while scoring just 2.3 goals per game. Bishop is an excellent play in all formats. Marc-Andre Fleury FD - $8900 DK - $8100 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 17.96 DK - 13.02 Speaking of struggling teams, the Vegas Golden Knights are at home tonight against the Leafs who have dropped five straight and seven of their last 10 scoring two or fewer goals in five of them. Fleury has been up and down recently giving up four or more goals four times in the last 10 games but leads the league with 10 wins overall and is coming off a 33-save shutout against the Flames on Sunday. Vegas opens as a -150 favorite and like Bishop, Fleury is in play in all formats. Also Consider: Tuukka Rask(BOS) as a GPP pivot off the two mentioned above who are likely higher owned CENTERS **If you have the salary, you are obviously spending up for one of Connor McDavid or Nathan MacKinnon who are both averaging an incredible 19 DK/23 FD fantasy points per game and both get plus matchups. If you are looking for a more balanced route, especially in cash games, check out the options below.** Jack Eichel FD - $7900 DK - $7500 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 20.31 DK - 16.25 The first stop when looking at PTS/$, especially on FanDuel, is Jack Eichel....

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 11/14/19 Welcome back hockey fans. Thursday brings us a very exciting eight-game slate that includes three games with a high 6.5 total.

We've got you completely covered. GOALIE Jacob Markstrom FD - $7400 DK - $7900 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 19.66 DK - 15.84 Markstrom has gone winless in four straight(0-2-2) but no fault of his own as he has allowed more than two goals against just once and tallied a .924 save % in that time. I love the spot for Markstrom and the Canucks tonight as they are -145 home favorites going up against a Stars team that ranks 29th on offense to start the year scoring just 2.4 goals per game. He is second to Vasilevskiy in raw points in the system but from a PTS/$ perspective, he is the clear #1 option tonight and in play in all formats. Also Consider: A struggling Andrei Vasilevskiy(TB) as a huge home favorite(-260) against the Rangers or Jonathan Quick(LA) as a GPP play at home against the Red Wings 27th ranked road offense CENTERS Aleksander Barkov FD - $8300 DK - $6700 Opponent - WPG Proj Pts FD - 16.8 DK - 12.1 There are two elite centers(MacKinnon, McDavid) at the top of the salary tonight but from a cash game perspective I will be going a more balanced approach and it starts with Aleksander Barkov. Like the Oilers/Avs game, this game has a high 6.5 total and the Panthers Top 5 offense is in a great spot at home against a Jets team that ranks 24th in defense on the road allowing 3.6 goals per game. Barkov comes into this game red-hot with multi-point efforts in five of his last six games and has a whopping 18 points in his last 10 games. I will have exposure in all formats but his best value comes on DraftKings where he costs just 13% of your salary cap. Stack with: Jonathan Huberdeau, Evgenii Dadonov Nazem Kadri FD - $5200 DK - $4600 Opponent - EDM Proj Pts FD - 12.23 DK - 8.66 Kadri is a cheap way to get exposure to this projected high-scoring game and while the Avs are +110 road dogs, they have a Top 5 road offense going up against an...
