Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Free Daily Plays for Fanduel and Draftkings 3/11/16

Well the past few days have been good enough for me to win cash games but not cashing any tournaments or multipliers.  I feel like Im warming up though.  On tap we have a 10 game slate with a ton of value and all the stars and it looks promising. Well lets get to it, these are the players im building around on all sites tonight, the NBA top picks for 3/11/16 .

PG- Jrue Holiday-  FD 8200 DK 8300
Norris Cole is reportedly out tonight, and whether he is or not I recommend playing Holiday.  He has been playing well recently and the Pelicans back court is severely depleted.  40+ minutes of court time is likely here, and hes matching up against a Grizzlies team which is severely depleted and may start Lance stephenson at point guard. 

SG- Victor Oladipo-  FD 7000 DK 7200
Oladipo is still priced too low for his role in this offense and the amount of minutes he plays.  He has the best matchup of anyone here against the Kings who play at breakneck pace with little regard for defense.  Throw in no Cousins defense down low and no Elfrid Payton to vulture shots and usage, and Im locking in Oladipo everywhere today.  

SF- Rudy Gay FD 6700 DK 6000
Let me just say that at 6000 on DK with no Cousins tonight Rudy Gay is a must play.  On fanduel I think you can throw some other guys in there if you want, but I dont think I will.  Gay gets a huge usage boost with Cousins sidelined and its a rather weak position today compared to the rest.  Ill lock in Rudy and move on.

PF- Anthony Davis-  FD 10300 DK 9800
Power forward is a tough position tonight too, and while I cringe at the thought of playing the glass brow in cash games, I will probably do just that.  His play has been much more consistently lately and being on the court more minutes with Jrue has helped take the defenses focus solely off him.  I like AD tonight against the depleted Grizzlies.

C- - Kosta Koufos FD 3500 DK 3000
The last time Cousins was out a game Koufos played 30 mins.  While he may not see that much run he can easily pay off this salary in 20-25 minutes, and unless he gets in foul trouble (which is doubtful against either Jason Smith or Dewayne Dedmon) I dont see him getting any less court time than that.  If you dont take Koufos use one of the other options (Smith,Dedmon) here as I think the center punts in this particular game are your best cheap options on this slate.


Well thats all for today.  I hope these top positional plays help you build some good lineups for cash or GPP! Good Luck tonight FSTAS team!

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Free Daily Plays for Fanduel and Draftkings 3/8/16

There have been some really high scores in N BA daily fantasy the past few days.  The last few slates have had a lot of value.  So far this slate doesnt look to have as much, I think it will end up being more of a balanced lineup kind of night.  Well lets get to it, on to the NBA top picks for 3/8/16 .

PG- Damian Lillard-  FD 9200 DK 9600
Lillard has one of the highest usage rates in the league, and he has a fast paced matchup against Washington.  Lillard also is averagaing 7 more DK points at home this season.  Ill take Lillard over Wall or Lowry tonight.

SG- Victor Oladipo-  FD 6600 DK 7100
Oladipo is still priced too low for his role in this offense and the amount of minutes he plays.  He has a top matchup against the Lakers who dont play much defense.  I think he is a lock for 40 fantasy points here.

SF- Carmelo Anthony FD 9100 DK 8400
This is a very weak position today, so Ill be paying up for Carmelo.  He has been over 40 fantasy points each of his past ten games and has a great matchup against a Nuggets team who doenst have anyone that can match up to him very well.

PF- Julius Randle-  FD 6200 DK 6200
Power forward is a tough position tonight too, and while I think a few other guys could be in play for tournaments, I think Randle is a solid cash game option.  He is very consistent as he relies on a lot of rebounds and a few points to pay off his salary and in an uppace matchup with Orlando he should see enough opportunities in 30+ minutes to do just that.

C- - Marcin Gortat FD 7000 DK 6800
Its no big secret in the daily fantasy sports industry to target centers against Portland.  In steps Marcin Gortat, who put up 37 Dk points against Portland the last time these two teams played.


Well thats all for today.  I hope these top positional plays help you build some good lineups for cash or GPP! Good Luck tonight everyone!

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Free Daily Plays for Fanduel and Draftkings 3/5/16

Well I took a day off yesterday as I do many times on Fridays, its the busiest day for me with real life activities, and Im usually ready for a break by then. Its been an up and down couple of days for me in NBA DFS. Ive pretty much just broken even across the sites I play on in the industry.  I knew that hot streak I was on after the all star break couldnt continue, but Im happy it lasted as long as it did.  Daily fantasy sports is always an up and down battle, and as long as the highs outweigh the lows then you will be able to profit from it. Well lets get to it, on to the NBA top picks for 3/5/16 .

PG- Isaiah Thomas-  FD 7800 DK 7600
Cleveland is one of the best in the league at defense, but their weakest point is the point guard position.  I expect the celtics to exploit this with IT2 in what should be a close game.  I am all over the pizza guy today.

SG- James Harden-  FD 10900 DK 10500
This is a slate with not a ton of high priced guys I feel confident paying up for with many in bad matchups or games with a lot of blowout risk.  LBJ and John Wall both have tough matchups playing on back to back days, Chris Paul has a bad matchup against a Hawks defense who is good at defending the position.  And Boogie Cousins has the worst matchup of all against the Spurs.  Ill be avoiding the above players and riding with James Harden.  He still has a tough matchup against Jimmy Butler, but Butler has not played in quite awhile and Harden is a guy who is matchup proof for the most part anyways.  If I spend up anywhere today I feel the best about Harden.

SF- Paul George FD 8500 DK 8100
Paul George has been on a tear recently and I will continue to ride the hot hand here.  He is in a great matchup with a fast paced wizards team and is still underpriced.

PF- Lamarcus Aldridge -  FD 6800 DK 7400
Aldridge has been consistently hitting and surpassing value quietly for the last 10 games.  His last game he had 38 DK points and in 3 games against the Kings is averaging 31 DK points in 28 mpg.  He is a safe play here with lots of upside if the Kings can somehow keep it close.

C- - Karl-Anthony Towns FD 8900 DK 8200
A lot of people will be scared off of KAT today because of his game last night, but that doesnt worry me.  He put up 30 fantasy points in the first half yesterday until his run got cut short due to a huge blowout.  I expect the game today with the Nets to stay close and they will need KAT to fend off the Nets at home.  This is probably my top overall play of the day (great upside/lower ownership).


Well thats all for today.  I really like my lineups today and I hope these top positional plays help you build some good lineups! Good Luck!
