After 54 consecutive victories at home dating back to last season, the Golden State Warriors finally suffered their first home loss of the season on Friday when the Boston Celtics came to town. The Celtics had a game plan to limit Stephen Curry as much as possible and it worked like a charm, as the reigning MVP was limited to six points and seven turnovers in the first half. Avery Bradley, who gave Curry fits in their first meeting back in
Once again we zero in on Sacramento for DFS purposes. The Kings aren’t very interested in defense and DeMarcus Cousins (suspension) won’t play tonight. The red-hot Hassan Whiteside $8700 was our top pick on Wednesday and although the Heat lost, his 18 points, 17 rebounds and seven blocks certainly helped fantasy owners in both daily and traditional formats.

When you think of all the things that Stephen Curry can do on the floor, defense is probably not the first thing that comes to mind. It’s understandable given all the impossible things he can do offensively, but the reigning MVP doesn’t get enough credit for the job he does on the defensive end on most nights. In fact, he’s probably one of the most underrated defenders in the league given all the havoc he causes, which largely goes unnoticed by
Although he sat out on Wednesday with a bruised knee, DeMarcus Cousins $10300 is expected to return tonight in Phoenix. It’s like an exhibition game for both lottery teams — better for fantasy purposes than a struggle between playoff clubs battling for position. [Read more…]
Steve Kerr says the Golden State Warriors are “all in” on trying to break the Chicago Bulls’ record for most wins in a season — 72. Kudos to Kerr for being honest – and for trying to make history for a second time. Don’t forget, Kerr was a player on the 1995-96 Bulls team that went 72-10. Most coaches would say “it doesn’t matter” – and they’d be lying through their teeth. But Kerr is a straight shooter (pun intended), and
A superb matchup between Stephen Curry $10500 and Chris Paul $9700 is as exciting in daily fantasy as it is in real life. CP3 and DeAndre Jordan $7700 have dropped three of four on this disappointing road trip, while the Warriors never lose at home. [Read more…]
Last season, the Atlanta Hawks were one of the NBA’s best regular-season stories, winning 60 games. This season, they needed almost 60 games to remember what winning is. After their best season since moving to Atlanta nearly 50 years ago, the Hawks have spent most of this season spurting and sputtering. They got off to a 7-1 start, which many took as a good sign considering they were a measly 7-6 out of the gate last season. There was a six-game
A nine-game NBA Monday can’t match the real-life excitement of Saturday’s clash between Golden State and San Antonio. DraftKings spices things up with a huge fantasy contest that pays a guaranteed $500,000 in prize money to more than 140,000 winners, including a cool hundred grand for the top score. It’s worth four bucks to take your best shot. [Read more…]
