The NFL season is over and basketball will take center stage for the next two months. While most attention was on the festivities leading up to a one-sided championship game in New York, the lone NBA game played out as expected – a single-digit win by the Boston Celtics 96-89. The NBA hardwood floors will be busy tonight and DraftStreet has contests of various buy in levels to suit every budget. We are two days away from the NBA 150K, an enormous contest awarding $50,000 for first place. Here is today’s Fantasy Spin.
Fantasy Boom and Bust
TOP GUNS:
Rajon Rondo/BOS. Further evidence that he is nearing full strength. If the Celtics decide to keep him and he plays at this level, the Celtics will be fighting for the final few playoff spots. 9 of 11 FGA, 6 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals, 4 TO, 19 points.
SLEEPERS:
Jared Sullinger/BOS. Sullinger is a skilled power forward and could be a very important building block for the Celtics in coming years. 10 of 15 FGA, 12 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, 2 TO, 21 points.
DISAPPOINTMENTS:
Kris Humphries/BOS. Bumped from the starting five, he’s susceptible to reduced minutes unless he starts well. 1 of 4 FGA, 3 rebounds, 2 TO, 2 points.
DraftStreet NBA Contests
Whatever your daily fantasy budget is I urge you to use a good chunk of it tomorrow at DraftStreet. The NBA Big Score is one of the biggest single contests NBA daily players will have a crack at this season. If you have been a regular DraftStreet players over the months and years, your loyalty is being rewarded by a hefty voucher discount. Players who have accumulated at least 17,000 DraftStreet points can purchase a $22 direct entry ticket into the Big Score . Normally a $22 voucher costs 22,000 points so the offered discount represents over 20% off. I’ve already purchased a ticket. You can also enter via the satellite route: for $2 or $5, you qualify for the 150K Big Score. These special contests are marked with a green dollar and they fill up quickly. I am by no means a high roller and I play at DraftStreet mostly for the fun and challenge. But I also salivate at opportunities to win big money for a small investment.
