Chris Paul, Ja Morant, Damian Lillard and point guards galore
February 01, 2023 15:32 - 19 minutesThe NBA comes in with a 9-game slate for Wednesday that features a ton of point guard options. So many elite guards are in great spots that it’s hard to sift through who to roster and even where to put in NBA bets. Doug Norrie of DFSR talks Ja Morant, Damian Lillard, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chris Paul, De’Aaron Fox, and more with some bets to put in for a couple of them. He also talks about fast teams and bad defenses which is another theme of the day. Where to bet some under, how to look at...
Giannis or Jokic? And how to handle potential blowouts
January 31, 2023 15:01 - 19 minutesDFSR’s Doug Norrie looks at Tuesday’s NBA action with the big question of the day in how to handle superstars like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Nikola Jokic. The Bucks are huge favorites against the lowly Hornets making the potential for a blowout very real. How do we handle situations like this from a betting and DFS perspective? It can be tricky. Plus, there’s a look at the Lakers situation with LeBron James heading into Madison Square Garden to face the Knicks. And Kawhi Leonard and Paul Geor...

First it’s about the status of Luka Doncic and whether he will be in the lineup for the Dallas Mavericks. What did we learn from the last game in which Spencer Dinwiddie led the way? It’s a great matchup against the Pistons. Plus, it looks like LeBron James and Anthony Davis will sit for the Lakers. Where will that put the team and will Rui Hachimura get the start? Finally, Doug Norrie looks at the Timberwolv...
Start with Giannis, end with money. Plus Evan Mobley and Darius Garland vs. Thunder, Memphis bigs and more.
January 27, 2023 14:34 - 20 minutesDFSR’s Doug Norrie takes a look at a five-game Friday NBA slate for FanDuel and DraftKings with a ton to dive into even for only a few games. Things start with Giannis Antetokounmpo who draws the best matchup on the slate against the Pacers. Even after a rough game, he makes for a tough fade here. Then there is the status of Donovan Mitchell and how that plays into the Cleveland Cavaliers. Is TJ McConnell still starting? And what to do with the Memphis center situation without Steven Adams? L...

January 25, 2023 15:36 - 20 minutesDoug Norrie of DFSR takes a look at the NBA rest situation happening right now and how it’s unprecedented in terms of projecting teams.

January 24, 2023 14:57 - 20 minutesIs there ever too expensive a price to pay for Luka Doncic? We are starting to find that out. Doug Norrie of DFSR takes a look at the NBA slate for DraftKings and FanDuel to determine if Luka is the spend up here or if there are other ways to go.

January 23, 2023 15:50 - 19 minutesHigh game totals are the theme of this Monday slate of NBA action with no game lower than 232 in terms of over/under. Doug Norrie of DFSR looks at the injury and game-related notes for the slate on FanDuel and DraftKings to keep on eye on for Monday.

January 20, 2023 14:53 - 24 minutesIt’s a packed Friday of NBA action on FanDuel and DraftKings DFS and betting and the DFSR team has you covered for everything you need to get started. First off, there’s some Nikola Jokic talk around the center who is making another MVP case and draws a great matchup against the Pacers. Then there’s strategy around the Donovan Mitchell injury and how it affects Darius Garland and Caris Levert. Then, Doug Norrie covers what it means for Mitchell Robinson to be out of the lineup for the Knicks...
Betting Timberwolves and Raptors without Rudy Gobert and more DFS NBA Thursday 1/19/23
January 19, 2023 10:10 - 19 minutesDoug Norrie from DFSR breaks down the Thursday slate of NBA action with four games on the docket. He looks at the status of Jaylen Brown going into this game, looking like he’ll return to action for Celtics-Warriors. Then there’s a breakdown of the Raptors and Timberwolves with Rudy Gobert doubtful to play once again. That means bets on both sides of the ball and Naz Reid in every lineup. For Nets-Suns, there’s a look at what it means for Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons to both be back in play a...

January 18, 2023 15:10 - 18 minutesThe DFSR.com crew takes a look at the NBA news to keep an eye out for when it comes to FanDuel and DraftKings on Wednesday January 18th. With Donovan Mitchell looking doubtful, is Darius Garland a must play against the Grizzlies? What to do with the Clippers now that Kawhi Leonard and Paul George on doubtful on the back-to-back.

Kyrie Irving and the Nets lead the DraftKings and FanDuel plays for Tuesday 1/17/23
January 17, 2023 15:48 - 13 minutesThe crew from DFSR (Daily Fantasy Sports Rankings) takes a look at the key questions for DraftKings and FanDuel NBA on Tuesday January 17, 2023. There is the Nets situation without Kevin Durant, with Kyrie Irving and the Nets losing the last two games. But here they take on the Spurs, a perfect DFS matchup. Ben Simmons and Nic Claxton should be part of lineups. Then there is the Giannis Antetokounmpo injury news which we will be waiting on going into lineup lock. And finally, what to make of ...
Special Episode - PGA DFS and Betting for the WGC FedEx Invitational 7/28/20
July 28, 2020 17:02 - 44 minutesThe DFSR crew of Doug Norrie and Chris Durell are back on the podcast this week discussing the WGC FedEx St Jude Invitational starting this Thursday. It’s a loaded field with no cut so there’s a slightly different approach with projections and bets this week. They discuss the course and some of the history as well as what no-cut events look like for some of these golfers. They have plenty of discussion around Justin Thomas, Bryson DeChambeau, Tyrell Hatton and Xander Schauffele in the top ti...
Special Episode - PGA DFS and Betting for the Memorial 7/14/20
July 14, 2020 17:25 - 52 minutesPGA is back again for another week of golf action and it’s a loaded field at the Memorial Tournament. DFSR’s Doug Norrie and Chris Durell take to the podcast discussing the DFS lineup implications and betting strategies for a tournament that could play a lot like a major. They break down the upper tier of golfers which is a who’s who including Bryson deChambeau, Patrick Cantlay, Webb Simpson, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. But there’s plenty of discussion around the group below, especially on...
Special Episode - PGA Workday Charity Open DFS and Betting 7/7/20
July 07, 2020 21:43 - 53 minutesThe DFSR crew of Doug Norrie and Chris Durell are back on the podcast, while we wait for the big sports to return, with another round of PGA action for the Workday Charity Open. The guys start by looking back at the Rocket Mortgage and Bryson Dechambeau’s dominance as well as their DraftKings and FanDuel lineups. Then it’s on to this week’s action. They discuss Patrick Cantlay, Viktor Hovland, Justin Thomas and others at the top end of the pricing spectrum. But there’s plenty of value talk a...
Special Episode - PGA DFS and Betting for The Rocket Mortgage Classic 6/30/20
July 01, 2020 11:48 - 56 minutesChris Durell and Doug Norrie are back on the podcast this week, talking more PGA action for The Rocket Mortgage Classic. After a few loaded fields following the restart, this week’s tournament isn’t quite as packed. They start of talking about the craziness with the Travelers considering the withdraws both before and during the tournament, DFSR users hitting it big, Dustin Johnson pulling out the win and more. Then it’s on to the Rocket Mortgage where they break down the standout plays. The...
Special Episode - PGA Travelers Championship DFS and Betting Picks 6/23/20
June 23, 2020 18:05 - 53 minutesChris Durell and Doug Norrie are back on the podcast with another week of PGA action, this time around for the Travelers Championship. It’s another loaded field with golfers seeming to make up for lost time after months of hiatus. But you get another run of the superstars heading into the weekend. The guys take a look at the Pete Dye course and how to best extract value from a field what’s essentially a who’s who. They start with changes Bryson DeChambeau has made in terms of body type and e...
Special Episode - PGA DFS and Betting for the RBC Heritage 6/16/20
June 16, 2020 17:23 - 55 minutesDFSR’s Chris Durell and Doug Norrie are back on the podcast discussing this week’s PGA action with the RBC Heritage. It’s another loaded field with golf just a week removed from its return after the hiatus. That means we have another superstar event with the world’s top golfers taking part. The guys go through last week’s results, where things went right or wrong at the Charles Schwab Challenge. Then they discuss the very soft pricing on DraftKings this week with guys like Justin Rose and We...
Special Episode - PGA Returns with the Charles Schwab Challenge 6/9/20
June 09, 2020 16:32 - 57 minutesThe DFSR podcast is back and this time around talking PGA returning with the Charles Schwab Challenge going down this weekend. Chris Durell and Doug Norrie take to the podcast to do a deep dive on the tournament and the player pool for what will be a very popular tournament on DraftKings and FanDuel. They start off with Chris breaking down what to expect from the course at the Colonial Country Club and what skills will have an advantage this weekend. Then it’s a discussion about the differe...
DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings NBA Plays for Wednesday 3/11/19
March 11, 2020 13:33 - 41 minutesDoug and James are back with another NBA DFS podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel. It's one of the weirder nights in recent memory, in large part because as of this recording there is almost no obvious value jumping off the page. On nights like these, the most important skill becomes seeing the shades of gray between solid but unexciting plays like Chris Paul, Lonzo Ball, and De'Aaron Fox. It comes down to making a decision between going after high upside, more volatile options like Julius Rand...
DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings NBA Plays for Tuesday 3/10/20
March 10, 2020 14:32 - 54 minutesDoug and James are back to break down a rather sizable nine game slate of NBA DFS action on FanDuel and DraftKings. After a wild Monday slate (which featured the Bucks changing their minds a half a dozen times before and after lineup lock), we're hoping to settle into a little more sanity on Tuesday. At this point in the day there isn't a lot of obvious extremely cheap value on the slate. The Bulls' guards, the Suns' guards, and perhaps Aron Baynes, but after that it's looking like we're jus...
DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings NBA Plays for Thursday 3/5/20
March 05, 2020 16:04 - 28 minutesThe DFSR team is back to break down a modest four game slate of NBA DFS on FanDuel and DraftKings! It's a short slate, but not one without a number of questions. The big issue tonight is finding out the Toronto news, with the potential presence or absence of Fred VanVleet and Serge Ibaka looming large over this slate. Doug and James break down how you should approach the slate if you have news about those guys, and how you should approach it if you don't. Thankfully we have some solid Philly ...
DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings NBA Plays for Wednesday 3/4/20
March 04, 2020 14:59 - 48 minutesJames and Doug are back to talk about an action packed 9 game slate of NBA DFS on FanDuel and DraftKings. It's an odd slate for a couple of reasons. First of all, there is a sea of potential value tonight, with big names missing from the Celtics, Cavs, and Pistons. There are also some younger guys taking on bigger roles, like Ja Morant and Caris Levert, that leave us with a lot of savings. Unfortunately there are only a couple of viable pay-up options, with Bradley Beal and Luka Doncic servi...
DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings NBA Plays for Thursday 2/27/20
February 27, 2020 14:44 - 32 minutesDoug and James are back to break down a four game slate of NBA DFS action on FanDuel and DraftKings. While there are only four games going, there is plenty of value flying around on this one. With Lillard, Embiid, LeBron, and Simmons already ruled out the question is not whether we have solid punt options, but which of them we will wind up playing. Anthony Davis and CJ McCollum should wind up being chalk options, but how do we fill in around them? Do we go with Horford or Kuzma at the power ...
DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings NBA Plays for Wednesday 2/26/20
February 26, 2020 15:03 - 48 minutesThe DFSR team is back to break down a wild night in the world of NBA DFS on FanDuel and DraftKings. Tonight is shaping up to be a night where you're going to want to be greedy, with a slew of value options that you just don't see on a normal night. Simmons' absence in Philly, Kyrie's continued absence for a Nets team with a great match-up against the Wiz, and Lamarcus Aldridge's absence are only the beginning, and the DFSR lineup optimizer is forecasting near record cash line totals tonight. ...
DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings NBA Plays for Tuesday 2/25/20
February 25, 2020 15:36 - 37 minutesThe DFSR team is back with another NBA DFS podcast for the Tuesday slate of games on FanDuel and DraftKings. There are some marquee match-ups tonight, with Zion facing off against the Lakers, Giannis taking on the Raptors, and a Trail Blazers/Celtics game that's lacking two All-Star point guards. With plenty of value to go around this isn't a slate you're going to want to miss. Join Doug and James as they find all the value you need to win those cash games tonight. As always you can head over...
DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings NBA Plays for Thursday 2/20/20
February 20, 2020 14:58 - 39 minutesThe DFSR team is back with a game by game breakdown for Thursday's DFS NBA slate on FanDuel and DraftKings! After a week off from regular season games, you'd think that there'd be a lot of clarity around player availability tonight, but unfortunately that isn't the case. There are two key pieces of information in terms of Derrick Rose's minutes limit and Eric Gordon's general availability that will greatly influence how tonight's slate goes, and the guys discuss how each of those dominoes wil...
DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings NBA Plays for Tuesday 2/11/20
February 11, 2020 15:23 - 37 minutesThe DFSR team is back to break down a five game slate of NBA DFS on FanDuel and DraftKings. We have some premier match-ups for basketball purposes that don't have a lot of DFS value in the Clippers/Philly game and the Houston/Boston game, though there are certainly a few good one offs from those games. Then we have some teams in great match-ups that we'll be focusing on quite a bit more. The Bulls don't have a ton of great DFS plays from night to night, but you can certainly consider LaVine, ...
DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings NBA Plays for Thursday 2/6/20
February 06, 2020 14:40 - 38 minutesThe DFSR team is back to break down a five game slate of NFL DFS on FanDuel and DraftKings. This slate is reminiscent of Tuesday's, where there are a lot of great big money plays with very few cheap plays to help afford them. The big outstanding news surrounds the Houston Rockets, as the statuses of new arrival Robert Covington and the banged up Russell Westbrook are as yet unknown. The slate only gets weirder from there. Can we play Knicks in a bad match-up with the Magic, given that the gam...
DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings NBA Plays for Tuesday 2/4/20
February 04, 2020 15:03 - 30 minutesJames and Doug are back for another NBA DFS podcast for cash games on FanDuel and DraftKings. It's a night filled with terrific big money options, but unfortunately there aren't a lot of cheap options to support them. Russell Westbrook's likely absence opens up some value, but the real art to tonight's plays comes around deciding where you are going to spend top dollar. Do you go with Harden without Westbrook? How about Giannis in what Vegas sees as a close game? Do you trust Lillard's recent...
DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings NBA Plays for Thursday 1/30/20
January 30, 2020 14:55 - 35 minutesThe DFSR guys take to the NBA podcast to break down the Thursday slate of FanDuel and DraftKings action. For a six-game slate there’s plenty to dive into with some injury situations out there that will provide some value for some teams while making some other ones stayaways. The Raptors will be without Marc Gasol making Serge Ibaka a chalk play across both sites, but the guys also discuss what that means for Kyle Lowry, Fred VanVleet and Pascal Siakam against the Cavaliers. Then there’s...
DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings NBA Plays for Friday 1/29/20
January 29, 2020 15:04 - 41 minutesIt's a relatively quiet six game slate of NBA DFS tonight, but it still has plenty of question marks surrounding it, and the DFSR team is here to break it all down. How does Oladipo's return affect the Pacers? Is he playable on FanDuel at $4,000? How can we navigate the Rockets/Trail Blazers game, which has both the highest total AND the greatest uncertainty with the Rockets' "big three" all having missed last game? Thankfully there is some higher floor value lurking in the Memphis/New York...

DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings Plays for Tuesday 1/28/20
January 28, 2020 16:03 - 47 minutesThe DFSR team is back with another DFS NBA cash game podcast for Tuesday's 8 game slate. Tonight's slate is shaping up to be a weird one, with relatively few obvious punt plays and a general lack of truly exciting big money plays as well. It's rare that we will recommend selecting mostly mid-range plays, but that's how it's coming together for us now. With the Raptors in a great spot against the Hawks, there's a strong case to be made for playing any of Lowry, VanVleet, Siakam, and Gasol. G...
DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings Plays for Thursday 1/23/20
January 23, 2020 15:09 - 37 minutesDoug and James settle in for a tiny three game slate, but it's not one without its fair share of questions. Will Davis be on a minutes restriction on the second half of a back to back? Will CJ McCollum play, and if he does, how will that affect the rest of the Trail Blazers? Is this a night where you can actually trust the Cavs in a league best match-up against the Wizards? What's going on with the Mavs now that Dwight Powell is done for the season? There's a lot to talk about, so make sure...
DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings Plays for Wednesday 1/22/20
January 22, 2020 15:15 - 58 minutesAfter a day off on Tuesday, the NBA is back with a vengeance with a massive 12 game slate of action on Wednesday. The potential debut of Zion Williamson has people buzzing, but for DFS purposes we're focusing on other things tonight. It's certainly a night to look for overwhelming value, with plays like Kemba Walker, Buddy Hield, Donovan Mitchell, Monte Morris, and Marvin Bagley still looking very under-priced. While we aren't forecasting a lot of true sub-$4,000 plays to enable a stars and...
DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings Plays for Thursday 1/9/20
January 09, 2020 15:28 - 31 minutesIt's just a four game slate of NFL DFS action on FanDuel and DraftKings, but there are still a lot of interesting decisions to make. With Joel Embiid out for the Sixers, which of the remaining players should show up in our cash game lineups? Is something up with Al Horford? Is Ben Simmons a must? There's a lot to break down. There's a lot of sneaky DFS value in the Cleveland/Detroit game, which is a rematch of their Tuesday meeting. In that game Love, Drummond, and Rose were excellent. Shou...
DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings Plays for Thursday 1/2/20
January 02, 2020 15:04 - 37 minutesWe have an oddly large 9 game slate of NBA games tonight, and the DFSR team is here to break down every single game on the slate. Tonight is an odd one, because it blends a sea of great cheap options (mostly from the Minnesota-Golden State game) with very few big money plays to go with them. As a result, Luka Doncic is a heavy favorite to be nearly unanimously owned. After the obvious plays from Minnesota and Golden State, though, things do get a bit more difficult. How much can we trust t...
DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings Plays for Tuesday 12/17/19
December 17, 2019 14:56 - 36 minutesDoug and James are back to break down a solid six game slate of NBA DFS action on FanDuel and DraftKings! There's a lot of looming injury news, so the guys do their best to give you a sense of where you should start looking as you prepare to put in lineups tonight. The biggest news on the slate concerns Anthony Davis' availability. If he were to sit, you'd instantly see LeBron James become a chalk option. But he's not the only big name with questionable status tonight, with Lou Williams, Dev...
DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings Plays for Wednesday 12/11/19
December 11, 2019 15:13 - 42 minutesJames and Doug are back with a game by game breakdown for Wednesday massive NBA DFS slate for FanDuel and DraftKings. It's a strange night, since there are a lot of excellent big money options (Harden, Giannis, Brow, LeBron, among others) but not a lot of great cheap plays to enable paying up. You have a tricky point guard decision on your hands too, with Rubio, Lowry, and Dinwiddie being the exact same price in very different situations. With a decent amount of value coming off the tabl...
DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings Plays for Tuesday 12/10/19
December 10, 2019 15:29 - 31 minutesIt's a special Tuesday NBA podcast from the guys here DFSR! It's easy to get nervous about finding value on a four game slate, but Doug and James are here to deliver some excellent value options. With Ish Smith still running the point in Washington, Miami missing a lot of ball handlers, and a new coaching situation in New York, there are a lot of high floor options on the cheaper end of things tonight. The guys also discuss how to approach these nights strategically. Do you take high floor,...
DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings NBA Plays for Wednesday 12/4/19
December 04, 2019 15:24 - 38 minutesThe DFSR team is back with a game by game breakdown for Wedneday's NBA DFS slate on FanDuel and DraftKings. The guys start by reflecting on some of the weird situations with huge ownership on back-ups this year, and then jump into some interesting back-up options for tonight in Cheick Diallo and De'Anthony Melton. As of now there aren't a lot of obvious punt plays jumping into the forefront, and these back-up options make it a little easier to get the excellent big payoff guys we're lookin...
DFS NBA Podcast - Wednesday FanDuel and DraftKings 11/27/19
November 27, 2019 15:12 - 48 minutesDoug and James are here to talk about the biggest NBA DFS slate of the season! The slate is far too big to get into a lot of the specific plays, but the general strategy tonight should be very interesting. Is it a nice to prioritize high floor, low ceiling players like Fred VanVleet and DeMar DeRozan? Will there be enough punt plays to support paying up for multiple guys like Davis, Giannis, Harden, and Towns, or will we have to pick between them? If so, where do we land? You also have a nu...
DFS NBA Podcast - Wednesday FanDuel and DraftKings Plays 11/13/19
November 13, 2019 15:33 - 38 minutesDoug and James are back for another game by game breakdown of this wild Wednesday NBA DFS slate. With injuries aplenty and an outsized amount of opportunity becoming available for some already solid plays, tonight is not a night to try and eek out 275 FanDuel points in your cash games. Fear not, though, the DFSR guys are bringing the goods. Some key situations to look at: Embiid being out against the Magic, the Celtics continuing to spread out Hayward's opportunity in a great spot vs. the Wi...
DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings Plays for Friday 11/8/19
November 08, 2019 06:03 - 41 minutesDFSR's Doug Norrie and James Davis are back on the NBA podcast breaking down a big Friday NBA slate for FanDuel and DraftKings. There's a lot to discuss with a number of injury concerns to evaluate and some big money plays who could be in line for huge games. Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving lead the charge at point guard and each are putting up stats beyond even the loftiest expectations. And there's also something of a Karl-Anthony Towns/ Andre Drummond challenge play scenario at center. They l...
DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings Plays for Wednesday 11/6/19
November 06, 2019 15:12 - 40 minutesDoug and James are back to break down a full slate of NBA DFS basketball on FanDuel and DraftKings. The early season has been as exciting as advertised, which huge leaps by budding superstars in Luka Doncic and Andre Drummond, and some surprise leaps by total unknowns as well. The Warriors G-League squad upset the Trailblazers, but can they put together solid fantasy totals as 16.5 point underdogs against the Rockets? There are a bunch of injury situations to keep an eye on as well. If Tur...
DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings Plays for Friday 11/1/19
November 01, 2019 11:23 - 38 minutesDoug Norrie is flying solo on the DFSR NBA podcast, breaking down the FanDuel and DraftKings plays for a bigger slate. The slate might start and stop with the Rockets and Nets who open with a crazy 241 over/under, 20 or so points higher than just about any other game on the slate. It makes sense considering how fast these two teams play and how little defense they employ. There are other interesting games as well with the Lakers playing the Mavericks and the Spurs going against the Stephen Cu...
DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings Plays for Wednesday 10/30/19
October 30, 2019 15:02 - 49 minutesWith a huge Wednesday NBA slate looming, the DFSR guys are here with a comprehensive game by game breakdown. Without a lot of obvious cheap plays going tonight, we need to find value where we can get it, and it isn't going to be easy. The big question we have to ask ourselves in the early season is when we can trust small sample sizes. The guys believe that James Harden will go back to being the same super-efficient scorer he has been in the past, for instance, while also being somewhat conc...
DFS NBA Podcast - FanDuel and DraftKings Plays for Wednesday 10/23/19
October 23, 2019 14:44 - 51 minutesThe DFSR crew is back after a successful first night of NBA DFS! While last night was pretty straightforward, tonight is a quagmire, and Doug and James do their best to give you a preview of what you can expect from each and every game on tonight's 11 game slate. They also talk about high level strategy for the beginning of the season. When can you accept a lower ceiling for a higher floor in cash games? Are there any players in new situations that we can feel comfortable playing in cash gam...
