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!

Daily Fantasy NBA basketball free daily plays for Fanduel and Draftkings 2/25/16

I feel like Im just repeating myself again today but I had another great night in NBA DFS last night! Both my Fanduel and Draftkings lineup did really well and cashed in double, triple, and quin ups as well as a few tournaments. 





I have had a few requests to post my top plays a little earlier in the day so starting today my top core plays will be posted by 1pm EST on days where there is only a night slate and by 9 am EST on weekends or holidays where there is an early slate. Well on to todays NBA slate and its actually a really good 6 game slate.  It was a little hard to nail down only 5 top picks today as there are several more guys I am on, but I believe these will be my main core target players today at their respective positions. 

PG- Damian Lillard-  FD 9500 DK 9700
A lot of people will pay up for Curry or Westbrook tonight and although Im fine with that I personally am saving the 1000 and rolling out Lillard.  His floor and ceiling are similar to the high priced guys above. Those big name guys are on back to back games and on the road.  Meanwhile Lillard gets a great matchup against Houston playing at home on a days rest.  Ill be playing Lillard most everywhere today. 

SG- Evan Fournier-  FD 5500 DK 5900
This guy has been playing tons of minutes and getting tons of shots off and has been hitting value at these prices for several games now.  He has a great paced up matchup against the warriors which means a few extra opportunities.  At a relatively weak position i think he is a good way to save a little cap room for the other spots.

SF- Kevin Durant-  FD 10200 DK 9800
I like this play a little better for his price on DK but hes okay on Fanduel as well.  He is in a great matchup against the poor defense of the pelicans.  He arguably has as high of a floor and ceiling as anyone else on this slate.  I think the scarcity of other good options at this position it may be smart to pay up for a guy like Durant if you can find the value to fit him into your lineup. 

PF- Draymond Green -  FD 8400 DK 8600
Whats up with the pricing on this guy?  I remember not too long ago Draymond was at 10K on these sites.  He has had some off games due to bad shooting and losing minutes due to blowouts, but at this price he is almost a must play for me.  I expect this game to stay reasonably close with the back to back on the road situation,, and if Green gets 4 quarters in this game he should crush this salary.

C- - Tyson Chandler FD 4500 DK 4300
Im not really in love with this play, and if Alex Len is active then I wouldn't recommend it.  However if Alex Len sits like I expect him to then Chandler will likely see minutes at least in the low 30s against a team that cant rebound or play much defense.  Not a high ceiling play here but I think the opportunity matched with this price is going to be something you definitely want to consider as a high floor play to help you fit in other guys such as Lillard, Durant, and Green.

Well thats all I have for today, good luck everyone!  If youre looking for a new site to play on the try out Draftfury. They offer a 500% first time deposit bonus and a very nice site and variety of constests, as well as fast and reliable withdrawals and deposits through paypal or credit card.  I made a small initial deposit and have been building upon my account balance on that ever since!!

Daily Fantasy NBA basketball top plays for Fanduel and Draftkings 2/24/16

Well had another nice night in NBA DFS last night on all the sites I play on.  It was just one of those days where it seemed like every pick I was on went off.  Cashed pretty easily on Draftkings and Fanduel, and I took down the $3 assist on one of the new sites ive been playing on, Draftfury.  

No time to bask in yesterdays glory, today is another day, time to move on to my top NBA plays for this ten game slate.

PG- Chris Paul-  FD 9800 DK 9700 
The clippers have been playing great basketball lately, and Chris Paul has been a huge part of that. After a slow start to the year he has really picked up the pace recently.  He has been over 40 fantasy points in the last 5 games and has a 70 and 58 fantasy point performance mixed in.  Tonight he gets a nice matchup at home against the suspect Denver defense and the turnover prone Emmanuel Mudiay.  Ill take the 1000 dollar savings compared to Curry and Westbrook. He has a similar floor and ceiling to those guys and I'll be playing him everywhere tonight. 

SG- Zach Lavine-  FD 4900 DK 5300
Lavine has been playing good basketball lately, and his price hasnt really caught up with the production or opportunity. He has paid 5x this salary in the past ten games and is averaging 30 minutes per game.  While I dont love the matchup versus Toronto, he did put up 27 fantasy points against them in their last meeting.  I think Lavine is a consistent solid option tonight at shooting guard which is a pretty weak position, and his salary allows you to spend up elsewhere. 

SF- Tobias Harris-  FD 5700 DK 6000
Ever since Harris was traded to Detroit he has been playing more consistent minutes than he was in Orlando. The last 3 games he has played 35, 35, and 30 mins while scoring 30, 31, and 25 fantasy points in those games.  His price hasnt quite caught up with his new role in Detroit, and he has a great matchup at home against a 76ers team that is pretty awful on defense.  I think Harris is a sharp play everywhere.


PF- Gorgui Dieng  FD 6400 DK 6700
Garnett and Pekovic have already been ruled out, but that doesnt even matter that much.  He has been destroying this salary even as its still climbing.  He has 8 double doubles in his last 10 games and is averaging 35 mins in those games.  I think he has a relatively safe floor and a pretty nice ceiling for this price.


C- Hassan Whiteside-  FD 8200 DK 7600
I am all in on Goatside tonight.  The pace of this game will give him tons of opportunities for rebounds and blocked shots.  While there is some blowout risk, I think Dwayne Wade playing at home can keep this game close.  In his last ten games Whiteside has 4 50+ fantasy point games with one over 65 points.  I love Whiteside tonight and think he is probably my top overall play on the entire slate.  

Well thats all I have for you today.  Hopefully these plays will help you construct some great lineups and win some money tonight!!  Good luck everyone!

Daily Fantasy NBA basketball top plays for Fanduel and Draftkings 2/19/16

Well NBA is back in full swing tonight with a massive 14 game slate. I personally don't care for big slates or small slates. Give me 5-9 games every night and I'd be super happy. After a lot of research and some speculating I have come up with my top 5 NBA daily fantasy picks for February 19th, 2016.

PG- Emmanuel Mudiay FD 5700 DK 5800
Mudiay is locked into tons of minutes right now with Jameer Nelson sidelined and the trade of Randy Foye. He also has a matchup against the kings who play at the fastest pace in the league. At these prices I'll be playing him everywhere.

SG- Nicolas Batum - FD 7000 DK 7400
Batum has moved back to the 3 position which will help his peripheral stats, and he has been playing 35-40 minutes per game. For how high his floor and ceiling are he is still quite underpriced. Another lock for me.

SF- Danilo Gallinari FD 7200 DK 6900
Another guy who is underpriced for his floor and level of production. He has paid 5x or more on this salary 6 of the last 10 games and he gets the same phenomenal matchup vs the kings as Mudiay above. You can lock Gallo in a feel confident about it.

PF- Anthony Davis - FD 9800 DK 9700
I hate to hype up the brow as he has crushed so many lineups (mine included) this year with his Mr. Glass routine, but I feel a huge breakout night coming. With a matchup against the Sixers at home and a depressed salary, I'll take my chances with the injuries. He's maybe the one guy I can see paying up for in this entire slate.

C-  Rudy Gobert FD 7400 DK 6700
Rudy is just a monster in the paint, and he has paid 5x-7x on this salary for 5 straight games now, and is playing against a Boston frontcourt that I love to target. Great cash or GPP play.

Well that's all I've got for today! I've got a few lineups out there that I really like. gotI will post some results tomorrow along with more free daily picks for Fanduel and Draftkings! Good luck everyone take down a GPP tonight!

Daily Fantasy NBA basketball top plays for Fanduel and Draftkings 2/11/16

Well it was a another good night of fantasy basketball for yours truly.  I was all over Kyrie Irving and James Harden so the 22 FDP that I got from Ish Smith didnt hurt me too badly.  I ended up with another 300+ score on Fanduel and cashed in some GPP and Quins.


Fanduel Fantasy Basketball screensho

Moving on to todays slate, its a really ugly one.  Only two games and building a solid lineup throughout for cash games that I can feel confident about is just not happening.  When there is a small slate like there is today, especially an ugly one, I tend to be more of a tournament player, and then more of a cash game player on the large slates.  Well with that being said,  here are my must plays for the 2 game NBA slate on February 11th, 2016.


PG.  Russell Westbrook- FD 11000  DK 11200

Theres not too much I can say about this guy that most of you probably dont already know. Westbrook has hit value in 3 of his last 5 games, and in one of those he was 7x value.  On this small game slate I believe he is the one player who can destroy your lineup tonight if hes not in it.  He has the highest overall floor and ceiling projections tonight and I cant find any merit to fade him in cash games or tournaments.  Oh yeah and hes got an above average matchup for point guards with the Pelicans.  You can feel confident about locking Westbrook into your lineups today.  

SG.  Bradley Beal- FD 6300  DK 6500

The shooting guard position is really gross tonight.  I mean its terrible.  At a position where I dont want to pay up there really isn't much value either.  Im settling on Bradley Beal, for a few reasons.  The first as I have already explained is the lack of other options at this position.  He also has a slightly depressed price due to being injured for much of the season, and when he really gets it going is at least a $7000 player.  He has moved back into the starting lineup now and is playing starter minutes.  He has also scored 22+ real life points in his past 3 games.  On this slate due to his depressed price and how bad the position in Im comfortable in running Beal out there.

SF.  Kevin Durant- FD 10700  DK 10400

If it wasnt for Westbrook, KD would be the top overall play on the slate.  Durant has been hitting 5x value consistently and has a ceiling just as high as Westbrook.  I think on this slate you definitely need both of them if you can make it work.  Many people would frown at taking these guys in the same lineup, but OKC plays at a fast pace and both these guys are super high usage so Im fine with me.  Maybe fade one or the other in a tournament.  But in cash Id lock them both in and move on.  My last two picks have some value which will help you fit these guys into your lineup.  

PF.  Jabari Parker- FD 4700  DK 5000

Im not going to sit here and tell you how great he is.  On this short slate he is a way to get Westbrook and KD both in your lineups.  He starts and plays consistent minutes, but doesnt have a very high floor or ceiling.  He has had a couple bad games recently, but has hit 5x value in 5 of the last 10 games.  In his only matchup with Washington this year he had 22 points and 6 rebounds.  Ill take in in order to fit in the other guys I need.

C.  Steven Adams- FD 4300  DK 4300

Once again I cant tell you this guy is going to crush value tonight, but im somewhat confident he wont ruin your lineup either and his price allows you to roster the studs we want to get in. His minutes are up and he is now averaging 31 minutes the past 10 games.  He is not going to score 25 points but in this fast paced game I feel there will get enough peripheral stats to hit value for you at this price.

I will be taking the next week off since there is no NBA until then.  Hopefully everyone gets refreshed and enjoys this All-star break.  Good luck!
