Fanduel: March 8th, 2016

We have a six game slate tonight, which should be more calmed down from the  previous days where cash lines were beginning in the mid 300's! Our lineups here flourished but if yours did not than let us enlighten you today. Let's get down to the nitty gritty and make some extra cash!

POINT GUARDS:
Personally we are staying away from the big cash point guards tonight. The front court positions are not very deep and you can find high value in the mid salary players.

D'Angelo Russell/ Elfrid Peyton: ***** $5,900/$5,600
"Beat Daily Fantasy, why did you put these two together?"
I'll tell you, people; I am calling this stack tonight. Forget going with Dame or J. Wall these two will easily hit value. The Lakers are the WORST  in the league against opposing points and the Magic are 10th. These two should more than likely hit 5x or 6x value. I see sites not putting Peyton in their "optimized" lineups and I think it's because they don't want you to know he's the Best play of the night and such a value price (seriously take him). I am going to be bold and also say they might not have highly owned percentages due to three of the besr PG's playing tonight. Stack them and thank me.

Kyle Lowry: $9,000
"But, you said to not take one of the higher guards?"
We said Wall or Dame (facing each other obviously going to have good games but value is not there), Lowry, though but Lowry, though! He has the second best matchup tonight behind Peyton. Toronto play Brooklyn who is the 5th worst in the league against PGs! To stack him and Peyton would also be a very intelligent play, so forget the top two plays, play these three and cash in!

SHOOTING GUARDS:
Demar Derozan: $7,800*****
I'm going to pick on Brooklyn tonight, unfortunately (fortunate for you!!!). They are again 3rd worst against the SG position so Derozan only makes sense in almost any lineup you have, I'd say build your team around him!

Victor Oladipo: $6,600
There are value plays that'll hit 5x or more on the night and Victor is one of them. Stacking him with Derozan is a no brainer for me along with Brooklyn, the Lakers are the WORST against guards, so taking him should be an automatic 30-40 FD points.

Aaron Afflalo: $5,000
Here's a twist that could give you a huge differential! Denver is at the bottom half of the league in defending SG's. Many might not have this and let me tell you 6x is a possibility here! Afflalo has surprised us in some weak and if you want to make room for the big dogs tonight, this might be the key.

SMALL FORWARDS:

Carmelo Anthony: $9,100
Melo has had to carry the team this year many times and with Gallo out for Denver he may be able to take advantage of the Denver defense. Not too mention, he likes playing his old squad. He's a great play tonight if you can afford him.

Alfaroq Aminu/Maurice Harkless: $4,100/$3,900
This is going to be the best or worst call I have ever made with daily fantasy. The over under for the POR vs WAS game will be huge and Washington is 3rd worst in the league defensively against small forwards, the only perplexing question here is who do you take of the two. Aminu is grabbing more minutes as of late so I'd take him. This is a huge punt but with the ownership percentages of Melo, Leonard and Hayward it might be a way to distance yourself from the pack. Don't quote me on this one, unless of course, I hit this on the nail.

Kawahi or Gordon Hayward are excellent takes tonight but the percentage of ownership will be gigantic, up in the 50-60 range most likely so try to distance yourself.

POWER FORWARDS:

Another stack for you, people!

Julius Randle/Aaron Gordon: ***** $6,200/$6,000
This stack should really work tonight. Both guys are lava hot going the second half of the season and both seem to not be able to defend, as both teams are in bottom half against the position this year. Each of them should easily post a double-double, the question will be how big they'll be.

I also like Aldridge, Dieng and Thaddeus Young today. Any of these guys are great looks and if you really want to grab a huge punt option take Markieeff Morris, who is facing a bad Portland frontcourt.

CENTERS:
Karl Anthony-Towns: $8,900
The young fella is an elite choice any night, as he's seemed to exceed value nearly every night! Not mad at you if you play him, not my top option but can't go wrong especially against an old, unathletic Spurs front court.

Marcin Gortat: $7,000 *****
THIS IS YOUR FIRST MAIN MAN! He is facing really bad Portland big man defense and is a beast every night. Look for him to really exceed value tonight.

Rudy Gobert: $6,900*****
YOUR SECOND MAIN MAN. I'm guessing what you didn't know, is Horford and the Hawks are nearly last against guarding opposing big men this year (3rd worst to be exact). Gobert, when facing bad frontcourt defense has seen absolutely gigantic numbers and being the cheapest of the best choices is a huge 5x + value tonight. I'm mostly going with Gortat but this guy, right here, this guy might give you some upside on the competition as everyone will be grabbing for Towns, Horford, Lopez or Gortat.

PUNT THAT S***!

Jason Smith: 3,500
It's said Vucevic is taking the night off again and Smith could get some run against the Lakers, who are terrible guarding the big man spot. He easily could hit 6x value and free up huge space for the big names.

Aminu/Harkless: Already explained!

Aaron Afflalo: Could be what really seperates you from the pack. Go get 'em, tiger!

PS: Lavine, Clarkson, Garrett Temple, Patty Mills, Shane Larkin are all possible high value guys, especially Lavine and Larkin!

If you would like to see our lineups for today we are doing $1 dollar lineups and if you buy a lineup I'll give you another free, just like the infomercials!! We have consistently won, even with the high cash lines so do yourself a favor!

Fanduel Basketball: March 5th, 2016

We are back at it today with a great 8 game slate for FanDuel and I couldn't be happier to say some of our lineup predictions for them are on a three day winning streak, so listen to us, people! For quite a while the pondering question has been, "do I go for the punt and the top spots or do I play it safe and stay consistently in the cash line?" Luckily we will show you both ways today and hopefully make you some extra cash!

(5 stars means my top choice, if two people share it, take either or both)

TOP POINT GUARDS:

Chris Paul: $10,200
Paul is almost a sure thing for 40+ points, the man hasn't scored less than 40+ since February 7th! It's been nearly a month since his last performance under that mark and tonight he should have no problem surpassing that, his production with Griffin out has been spectacular and honestly he's an MVP candidate with no love from the media. Look for another 40+ from the state farm assist man!

Isaiah Thomas: $7,800*****
He went off last night against the Knicks. Dropping 52 fanduel points! The kid is a complete player on an extremely hot team right now and their number one option. Look for him to get 40+ points tonight against Kyrie Irving, whom isn't always the best defender. The Cavs also  aren't the greatest in DvP point guards, where as the Celtics are 1st! Take Thomas and dump Irving, especially with Kevin Love back at it tonight

Ricky Rubio: $6,700*****
Rubio could be poised for a big night playing against the 5th worst defensive team versus point guards. On Tuesday, D'Angelo Russell scorched the nets for 39 points and while Rubio won't get you 40 points in a game he will get you 20 points and 15 assits and 10 rebounds. The Nets will struggle with Rubio and he's a top value tonight with the plethora of options at the positon. I would say pair him and Thomas together, together they could grab you anywhere between 80-90 points!

TOP SHOOTING GUARDS:

James Harden: $10,900
Harden is a hard choice with being nearly 11,000 dollars. You could find two SG who equal his salary that might bring you more points, unless he has one of his 50 or 60 point performances. They are playing Chicago today, who as of late are playing like the Lakers, although tonight they get Jimmy Butler back. How Butler will come out tonight and how long he'll play will definitely be an indicator of Harden's effectiveness. Tread lightly with your use of Harden.

Zach Lavine: $5,300*****
This might be a surprise to see his name after Harden's but his value tonight is incredibly high, he is playing a Nets squad who ranks near the bottom of the league in DvP against guards. He has been very consistent this last month and could put up a big night! A Rubio/Lavine combo tonight might differentiate you in the pack tonight against a horrible guard defense!

Jimmy Butler: $8,700
He's sort of a risk tonight coming off of injury. The Bulls are saying he has gone through "strenuous workouts" in order to get game ready and have claimed he is on no restrictions for playing time. I would say if you want to take a possible risk he might be under owned due to the risk. I would wait a few games to grab him.

TOP SMALL FORWARDS:

LeBron James: $9,800
LeBron is going to get you the points you need for his price 40+ is almost a sure thing with him and if you want to take him do it! He is playing a small team in Boston who is horrendous at guarding in the post and lane, expect to see a great rebounding night from LeBron.

Carmelo Anthony: $8,900
Anthony has been playing great basketball as of late and tonight he takes on the Pistons. Detroit has been great this year guarding the three spot but Anthony has been hot. I'd still consider taking him,  especially being a much cheaper option than LeBron.

Paul George: $8,500*****
PG-13 went off last night and expect it again today! He is facing the fourth worst team in the league against the SF position. I would say take him over the latter two!

TOP POWER FORWARDS:

Anthony Davis: $9,800
He's the most expensive tonight and is a high risk, high reward. He could have a good night but is facing the front line of Derrick Favors and Rudy Gobert. Since his huge outburst for 90 fantasy points, he's been a little shaky. I'd probably stay away tonight but he is a superstar and there is a chance he might perform as such.

Kevin Love: $7,000 *****
He is my top pick tonight as the Cavs take on one of the worst big man defenders in the league. They are in the bottom ten of DvP against power Forwards and Love is coming off of a rest night. At 7,000 dollars he should be your top choice for value as well!

TOP CENTERS:

Demarcus Cousins: $10,800
At the price Cousins bares he may be a bad play tonight, as the Spurs are third best in the league defensively against big men. That's not saying Cousins will have one of his 35 and 15 games but the Spurs may be able to keep him in check. Be careful with him as he may not return value.

Dwight Howard: $8,000*****

Superman is playing one of the WORST defenses in the league guarding opposing big men! He is an elite choice, and at 8,000 dollars, cheaper than quite a few other options. He's another 5-star option at Center. Expect the game to be high scoring and expect Howard to play a part. I'm going to be bold and say Howard could put up a 50+ spot on the Bulls!

Karl Anthony-Towns: $8,900*****
The T-Wolves take on the Nets and anyone is a good matchup against Brooklyn, especially the big man position.
He's my top pick tonight for the position due to his upside and matchup!

Rudy Gobert: $6,700*****

Gobert is a great take tonight as he's taking on the Pelicans who are 2nd worst in the league against the C position! Expect a great game from him including a barrage of rebounds and blocks!

MY LINEUPS

FANDUEL: MARCH 4th, 2016

Here are a few lineup options for tonight's 10 game slate in FanDuel!
We couldn't find the time today to do all analysis and breakdowns for you but hopefully the list of lineups will help!

Thanks for the continued support!

NBA Draftkings: March 3rd, 2016

Last night brought a lot of unexpected performances and some disappointing ones as well! Hopefully most of you performed well and got some extra money.
Daily fantasy never stops, so let's look at March 3rd Match ups and value for tonight's games.
The obvious about tonight's action is the rematch of the Thunder and Warriors from just last week. As with last week, the people in Vegas didn't even label an over/under until well into the day due to the fact that with these two teams it's possible to have anywhere from a 220-260 over/under. The Thunder are coming off a hard loss last night to the Clippers and it's hard to figure whether they are out for revenge tonight or if they'll be a tired team that gets blown out by a stacked Warrior squad.
A surprising match up tonight that might score you some points is the Dallas and Sacramento game, the Kings are among the worst defenses in the league, especially against point guards and it should be highly noted to take guards matched up with them.
Let's get down to the nitty gritty and make you some extra cash!

POINT GUARDS:

Russell Westbrook: $11,200
Westbrook had another 50+ fp last night and it's no surprise if he gets more than that tonight but be careful, OKC is coming off a tough loss last night and it'll be a back to back game but it's also a potential revenge game, keep your eyes open on this match up. Although, you could find potential elsewhere.

Steph Curry: $10,800
He is questionable with that ankle tonight but I'm sure he will be rested and ready to go. He has been an absolute monster this last month and his last game against the Thunder put up huge numbers and had 67 fp. If he's healthy going into the game, he's a must take option tonight.

Deron Williams: $5,800
Williams has a great match up tonight against the Kings, expect him to put up a 30 spot or more. The Kings defense really is as terrible as they say. He's been mediocre at best the last few weeks since the all-star break but this is one of those nights where you have to find low owned value with only 4 games and Williams provides that.

SHOOTING GUARDS:

Klay Thompson: $7,900
This is a tricky position tonight with not much depth so try to stay on the more expensive side tonight with few options. Klay played great in the last game against OKC scoring 45 fp. He's poised for an alike performance against a potentially tired Thunder!

Dwyane Wade: $7,100
This could be a great alternative to Thompson at a great price. His value is in the fact that they are playing the Phoenix Suns who, frankly, suck. A blowout is a high possibility so be careful with taking Wade as his minutes might be hindred or a surprise rest night could be in store.

Raymond Felton: $4,500
Again, any guard who plays the Kings could have a great night and Felton is no exception. The last two games for Felton have been subpar but before that he was on a tear in the month of February and the fact that he can get you 30 minutes of value at $4500 can be of potentially huge value, especially if this becomes a blowout or Williams doesn't play well, Felton should get 30 minutes or more.

SMALL FORWARDS:
There are some great choices at SF tonight and due to the plethora of options I will list my favorite in order of Best decisions for the night:
1) Kevin Durant: $10,300
Should score another 55+ fp.
2) Rudy Gay: $6,500 (if healthy, great play)
3) Chandler Parsons: $6,800
4) Luol Deng: $6,300
5) Joe Johnson: $5,700
Great option playing Suns, could go off. Since joining the Heat he's averaging about 28 fp a night and facing a really bad Suns team.

POWER FORWARDS:
As I see it you have quite a few options tonight at power forward:

Demarcus Cousins: $10,900
As of late Cousins has been performing a tad under value, costing this much and putting up 40 spots is probably not going to return the value you need. He does have a great match up tonight against the Nowitzki led Mavs. Cousins should be able to grab you around 50+ points tonight, if not more.

Anthony Davis: $9,800
Davis wasn't fully healthy last night and it showed only scoring 32 points in draftkings. They are playing a slow and unathletic Spurs front court who may not be able to contain as explosive of a player as Davis. If fully healthy expect one heck of a night from him. Will it be the 94 point performance he had a few games ago? Not likely but he should be able to get you 40-50 points tonight even not 100% healthy.

Draymond Green: $8,900
Expect another huge night from Green who has nearly 120 fp in the last two games, one of those games coming against their opponents tonight. He is a jack of all trades and I would take him (at his value) over any other forward tonight!

CENTER:
You have two options here as far as upside is concerned
1) Hassan Whiteside: $8,300
Whiteside is one of the hottest players in basketball right now. In terms of Centers he's the hottest, while it is frustrating to see him hardly ever score points in the beginning of games due to him coming off the bench, he will usually play 30- 33 minutes which as of now gets him an average of almost 50 points a game. Money to Value on him is spot on.

2) Alex Len: $5,600
Len is a viable option especially with how hot he has been and how high his floor is. He's a great option tonight if you are looking for cheaper prospects to put around some of those expensive players from the OKC, GS match up.

Dark Horses and Punts
Ray Felton $4,500
Josh Richardson (getting almost 30 minutes of floor time with Heat. Can bring great value at $3500)
Wesley Matthews $4,900
Justise Winslow: $4,600
Ronnie Price: $4,200
David Lee $4,300
Steven Adams $4,200

My Lineups:

LINEUP 1: kinda, sorta a Punt
D. Williams
R. Felton
J. Johnson
D. Green
H. Whiteside
J. Richardson
K. Leonard
Alex Len

LINEUP 2: OKC VS. GS 1
R. Price
W. Matthews
H. Barnes
D. Green
S. Adams
K. Thompson
J. Winslow
K. Durant

LINEUP 3: OKC VS. GS 2
R. Westbrook
J. Richardson
H. Barnes
S. Ibaka
S. Adams
S. Curry
P. Tucker
R. Felton

QUICK ADVICE:
1) The last match up of the two super powers brought us a ton of points, even scoring Steven Adams nearly 30 fp, the over/under should be huge so don't take too many players from other match ups unless you're compeltely confident. Have at least one of the big players from this game in your lineups.
2) Don't stray from the two centers I listed, especially whiteside.
3) Watch the injury reports there are a ton of questionable players including Curry and Felton. No doubt, Curry should play and score big points but if Felton doesn't look for J.J. Barea to score some big points.

NBA DRAFT KINGS: March 2nd, 2016

Today we have a full range of match ups with 11 teams on the slate! Most notably OKC@LAC who's over under should be the highest of the night with the likes of Durant, Westbrook and Paul. When the slate is as big as tonight's, decisions can get confusing and if you don't have the ability to play 100 teams, you are more or less doomed, with that noted let's breakdown Super Wednesday, get down to the nitty gritty and try to win you some extra cash!

POINT GUARDS:
Russell Westbrook: $11,200
There isn't much to say about Westbrook, he's almost proven himself to score you 50+ a night but at his high value he would have to score you 60-70 points in order to prove worth as you could by two players who could easily break out for 30-40 points with the money you spend on Westbrook. Overall this game should have a huge over/under and Westbrook could have one of his special nights! Play him only if you can find punt options at low cost!

Chris Paul: $9,800
He's a better option tonight than Westbrook. He will play heavy minutes and be heavily relied on to take down OKC. At $1400 less than Westbrook, he could put up the same numbers, if not more.

Damian Lillard: $9,500
He's my top play tonight at the position! But, why? He's playing an atrocious defense in the Boston Celtics, who tend to love games in the high over/under category. With how red hot he's been over the last month expect a perfect storm for Dame tonight, especially if the game can stay close.

SHOOTING GUARDS:

James Harden: $10,400
He's been under performing as of late but is always a threat for 50+. Take him only if you can afford the extra!

Kris Middleton: $7,500
Top play at SG tonight! This guy has proven he can carry an offense as of late and being nearly 3,000 dollars less than Harden makes up a ton of extra points with more money to spend. He's also facing a defensively challenged Monte Ellis. TAKE HIM, TAKE HIM NOW!
(Arnold Voice)
Consider: C.J. McCollum, Monte Ellis, Kobe Bryant (off rest and cheap), Batum and Barton (obvious reason: playing Lakers)

SMALL FORWARDS:

Kevin Durant: $10,200

Kevin Durant is most likely a sure bet for 50+ tonight. He's less expensive than Harden and Westbrook which could save you some extra money. All in all, he's most likely the safest play on the board to get you a boat load of points.

Paul George: $8,600
As of late he has played great but he has the ability to make you feel like the most stupid daily fantasy player in the world! He is probably in for a great night against a fast pace Bucks squad but beware the ides of Paul!

Jerami Grant: $4,700
I like Grant a lot as of late. He has definitely won me some money on some nights and has cemented himself for the 76ers. With over 60+ DFS points the last two games he could have tons of value, especially if Charlotte can't keep a lead on them. My biggest punt of the night!

Power Forwards:

Honestly, you have such a wealth of options you shouldn't have a problem with points here but I'll list my choices in order:

1) Boogie Cousins (if you can afford)
2) Jabari Parker (hottest)
3) Anthony Davis (if not hurt) (if hurt go with Kenneth Faried or Ryan Anderson) 
4) Aaron Gordon
5) Julius Randle

Try to play Randle, Parker and Gordon together, they are all cheaper options who can all get you 35+.

Center:

As with PF'S it's the same deal, plenty of options, here's my choices:

1) Andre Drummond ($7,800, cheapest he has ever been, huge ceiling to topple value)
2) Karl Anthony-Towns
3) Pau Gasol
4) Marcin Gortat
5) Rudy Gobert (can get you 10+ points extra just on blocks)

PLAYERS ON FIRE:
D'Angelo Russell: $5,800
Play this cat. He is hot and coming off eight made 3-point field goals last night, facing a crappy, short-handed Denver squad. He does hinder a little bit with Kobe back in the lineup tonight but Kobe might take a step back and let the future star shine.

Jrue Holiday: $7,800
He's playing the almighty Houston defense, expect somewhere around 20, 10 and 5. Guards in general have taken advantage of the skiddish guard to guard defense that Houston plays.

Gourgi Dieng: $6,800
If available tonight expect him to take advantage of the undersized power forward spot for Washington. You could easily play him along with any of the three other I listed in the PF position.

My lineups:

LINEUP 1: The automatic money maker

D. Russell
K. Middleton
J. Grant
A. Gordon
A. Drummond
D. Waiters
J. Randle
J. Parker

LINEUP 2: Two Stars and a Punt!

D. Lillard
W. Barton
K. Durant
B. Portis
M. Plumlee
K. Bryant
D. Arthur (under owned, punt option)
E. Gordon (huge floor coming off of injury)

TIPS FOR DOLLARS:

1) I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH, DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT GET SUCKERED INTO PLAYING HIGHLY PRICED PLAYERS!!! You will find just as much value in the middle salaries (ex. Middleton over Harden, Russell over Dame, Paul or Wall)

2) Go Cheaper at the PF spot. That combo of Randle, Gordon, Dieng or Parker could be a deadly weapon!

3) Try to take Durant, he should be lit tonight.

DARK HORSES/PUNT OPTIONS :
Jerami Grant
Bobby Portis (if Taj Gibson is out)               Jared Sullinger

Mason Plumlee

Doug McDermott
Kenneth Faried

Emanuel Mudiay

J.J. Redick 

Jamal Crawford

Steven Adams/ Enes Kanter

Any player you want to take that is playing the Lakers. LOL

Each day we thank Kobe Bryant for his commitment to the NBA. Respect, Mr. Bean.
