So it was a good morning and a bad morning. I awoke to learn I had won $45 in Wednesday night’s big contest at DraftKings, finishing 1,730th out of 22,900 entrants to make a profit of $25 after my $20 entry fee. My lineup was anchored by Paul George (26 pts, 10 reb), Rajon Rondo (triple-double of 14 pts, 15 ast, 11 reb), Dirk Nowitzki (31 pts, 11 reb), Jeff Teague (14 pts, 10 ast), Kyle Lowry (23 pts, 8 ast)
Thursday’s 3-game NBA slate has the unbeaten Warriors in Minnesota, where Ricky Rubio $7500 and Andrew Wiggins $6400 are both questionable with knee injuries. [Read more…]
Stuff happens. My top Tuesday pick Andrew Wiggins (knee) was a last-minute scratch, and Anthony Davis $10700 (hip) is questionable tonight after leaving at halftime. Using either was unfortunate in DFS contests at DraftKings. [Read more…]
Russell Westbrook $10800 taking on John Wall $9000 is the highlight of seven Tuesday NBA games. Kevin Durant $9700, Serge Ibaka $6500 and Enes Kanter $5400 are also worth the money at DraftKings in a $350,000 contest that’s free to enter with your first deposit. [Read more…]

Sunday features two matinees at 3:30 Eastern. The Cavaliers are favored to make it six straight wins as the Pacers visit, though LeBron James $10200 is probably not 100% after taking a knee to the thigh on Friday. [Read more…]
It’s a 9-game Saturday in the NBA, though the 6:00 Eastern start (MIN @ CHI) is off the board at DraftKings, where contests close at 7:00. As often happens, the two late games should be the highest-scoring of the night. [Read more…]
It’s hard to believe that Stephen Curry $10300 and Golden State are better than last season. The MVP is averaging 35.8 PTS, 5.6 3PTM, 5.8 AST, 5 REB and 2.2 STL while the average team score of 118-97 is ridiculous. [Read more…]
