November 01, 2017 14:30 - 48 minutes

DFSR's Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the Wednesday podcast discussing a huge Wednesday in the NBA with 13 games going. There's a ton to break down as they go through game-by-game with the fantasy implications all around.  Some highlights include what to make of the Cavs who've looked awful to start the season and James Harden who is failing to produce at his current salaries.  They also lament the fan bases of Dallas, Sacramento, and Chicago whose teams are playing super slow on offen...

DFS NBA Talk for Tuesday 10/31/17 - FanDuel and DraftKings

October 31, 2017 15:30 - 32 minutes

DFSR's Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the Tuesday podcast discussing a shorter slate of NBA games. This is an odd group of games considering half the team (Suns, Nets, Kings, Lakers) have significant questions about their minutes and rotations. They are incredibly difficult teams to project on a game-to-game basis because their incentives are to lose. It could make for a frustrating and volatile night.  The guys also discuss Giannis vs. Westbrook, how to make lineups where half the team...

October 27, 2017 16:00 - 46 minutes

The guys look at every game and discuss some of the value plays.

DFS NBA Talk for Tuesday 10/24/17 - FanDuel and DraftKings

October 24, 2017 16:00 - 42 minutes

DFSR's Doug Norrie and James Davis take a look at a six-game slate of NBA action. They start by talking about the clear corrections in FanDuel pricing this season which is effecting spot starters like D.J. Augustin and players off to hot starts. There's still value to be had but they've clearly sped up the process on price-correcting.  They take a look at each game on the slate and the DFS implications throughout. Highlights include slow starters like Jrue Holiday and Tim Hardaway coming in ...

DFS NBA Talk for Friday 10/19/17 - FanDuel and DraftKings

October 20, 2017 16:00 - 28 minutes

DFSR’s Doug Norrie comes on for a solo podcast discussing a big Friday in the NBA. He goes through a game-by-game breakdown discussing the value plays, injury situations and considerations for a full night in the NBA. Some things to consider are Lebron’s increased rebounding and how the Cavs’ shift in lineup construction helps LBJ going forward. There’s also talk of the price corrections on guys like Jaylen Brown (who might still be worth it), Jayson Tatum and Ben Simmons in an interesting ...

DFS NBA Talk - Cash Game Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings 10/19/17

October 19, 2017 14:00 - 35 minutes

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the Thursday podcast discussing a smaller three-game slate of NBA action. They start out talking about the trainwreck that are the Chicago Bulls who basically start the season running out a borderline D-League team with Dunn, Lavine, Mirotic and Portis all sidelined for a variety of reasons. They also break down some thoughts on the new makeup of the Thunder and how the additions of Paul George and Carmelo Anthony will affect Russell Westbrook from ...

DFS NBA Talk - Cash Game Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings 10/18/17

October 18, 2017 14:00 - 50 minutes

DFSR’ Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the first NBA podcast of the year discussing a huge Wednesday in basketball. Coming off a crazy first night of action that saw a brutal Gordon Hayward injury and a near buzzer-beater by Kevin Durant, tonight shapes up well with a lot of interesting matchups and some speculation about players on new teams. Some of the big money guys they focus in on are Damian Lillard playing without C.J. McCollum, James Harden possibly running without Chris Paul, Gi...

Tuesday NBA Playoff DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 4/18/17

April 18, 2017 14:00 - 26 minutes

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the NBA podcast to discuss the three game Tuesday slate of games. There’s a lot to unpack as we learned quite a bit from the first games in each series. The Bucks pulled off a huge win against the Raptors in game one with Giannis and Middleton leading the way. They make outstanding plays again tonight with Greg Monroe a value coming off the bench. The guys also discuss Kyle Lowry’s struggles in game one and whether there’s significant cause for conce...

Friday NBA Playoff DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 4/14/17

April 14, 2017 14:30 - 41 minutes

The DFSR crew of James Davis and Doug Norrie take to a Friday NBA podcast to discuss Saturday’s first round playoff matchups. There’s a lot to unpack here with teams rounding out their rotations after a late season of uncertainty in the league.  They go game-by-game starting with the Pacers and Cavs and whether Lebron James and Paul George are simply overpriced on this small slate of games.  Then there’s talk about how the Bucks could use Giannis in this matchup against the Raptors and whet...

Friday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 4/7/17

April 07, 2017 14:00 - 39 minutes

DFSR's Doug Norrie and James Davis break down a big Friday in the NBA. There's a lot to consider here starting with Russell Westbrook and whether we can pay some crazy salaries in a dream matchup against the Suns. Long story short: we can.  They also discuss the blowout risk in Cleveland with Lebron and what to make of a Spurs team resting Kawhi, Aldridge, Gasol and Manu tonight.  Plus there's some frustrating talk about the Lakers and Kings who will engage in an epic tank-off tonight.  Al...

Thursday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 4/6/17

April 06, 2017 16:00 - 30 minutes

DFSR's Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the NBA pod to discuss a smaller slate of NBA action. This late in the season there are still a few teams playing for the playoffs and seeding, while others are actively tanking.  The Magic are in a great spot tonight against the terrible Nets and basically Orlando's entire starting five is in play for cash games. Aaron Gordon likely becomes the chalk play of the bunch, but you can consider all of the Magic tonight.  Jimmy Butler, Giannis and Karl-...

Tuesday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 4/4/17

April 04, 2017 16:30 - 1 hour

It’s a packed Tuesday pod with the NBA returning from their relative one-day hiatus. It’s late in the season but a lot of the teams going tonight actually have things to play for. The guys talk about some of the bigger money plays like Lebron, Jimmy Butler, Giannis and what to make of New Orleans tonight with some injury stuff hanging out there.  They also discuss some of the punt-style point guards like Ron Baker, Matthew Dellavedova and Jamal Murray.  Then there’s whether Russell Westbroo...

Thursday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/30/17

March 30, 2017 14:00 - 30 minutes

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the NBA to discuss a five game slate of NBA action for FanDuel and DraftKings. For such a short slate there are a bunch of bad defenses going like the Nets, Suns and Lakers. The Pistons have some value highlighted by Ish Smith if Reggie Jackson were to sit again tonight. He’s still coming rather cheap on both sites considering he should see a lion’s share of the point guard minutes.  The Timberwolves are also in a great spot against a bad Lakers te...

Tuesday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/28/17

March 28, 2017 15:30 - 44 minutes

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to a Tuesday pod to talk a packed night in the NBA. The game of the night is clearly the Warriors and the Rockets. James Harden likely becomes a big money chalk play on a night with a ton of value in other positions. The guys discuss how to view Harden, if Eric Gordon and Lou Williams get more minutes and whether we see big run out of the Warriors’ big three in Curry, Klay and Draymond.  Other value creeping up comes from the Hawks against the Suns wit...

Friday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/24/17

March 24, 2017 14:30 - 1 hour

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis break down a huge night in the NBA.    They start with a discussion on why DraftKings may have left off the two 10:30 games from their main slate and how that could show a change in how the industry views NBA injury news.  After that, there’s an embarrassment of riches in terms of value tonight with a bunch of big money guys in plays matchups. James Harden leads the list, taking on a New Orleans team that he lit up for 70+ fantasy points just last week. D...

Thursday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/23/17

March 23, 2017 14:00 - 31 minutes

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis break down a five game NBA slate for FanDuel and DraftKings. The two most interesting games, from a DFS perspective come early with Toronto-Miami and Brooklyn-Phoenix. The Heat will be without Dion Waiters again which puts Goran Dragic, James Johnson and Josh Richardson firmly in play. Toronto will be without a suspended Serge Ibaka leaving (potentially) more shots for Demar Derozan, PJ Tucker and Cory Joseph.  The guys also break down a Suns-Nets game that...

Wednesday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/22/17

March 22, 2017 16:00 - 39 minutes

DFSR’s Doug Norrie takes to a solo pod to break down an eight game Wednesday slate in the NBA. The first question to ask is whether we should pay all the way up for Russell Westbrook after his disappointing games against the Warriors on Monday. OKC is big favorites against the Sixers in a game that could turn into a blowout early.  Other games to focus on include the Hawks and Wizards. Atlanta is still without Paul Millsap and Kent Bazemore, leaving plenty of minutes for guys like Tim Hardaw...

Tuesday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/21/17

March 21, 2017 14:30 - 50 minutes

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the pod to discuss an eight game slate in the NBA for FanDuel and DraftKings.  The obvious team to start targeting is the Detroit Pistons facing the woeful Brooklyn Nets. But can you trust their minutes? They discuss the mystery of Reggie Jackson’s minutes and whether he’s actually a safe play at $5,000 on FanDuel. Then there’s Andre Drummond, KCP, Morris and Tobias Harris in contention against the best DFS matchup on the board.  They also break do...

Friday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/17/17

March 17, 2017 14:00 - 57 minutes

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take a deep dive on an eight game NBA slate for FanDuel and DraftKings. The big story today is injuries to some key players. Dwayne Wade is out for the rest of the season meaning Jimmy Butler gets a major bump in expected usage and Rajon Rondo likely seeing continued huge minutes at the starting point guard.  Also, Isaiah Thomas will sit for the Celtics putting Marcus Smart in as the starter. He’s likely a chalk play with the rest of the Celtics seeing mode...

Thursday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/16/17

March 16, 2017 14:00 - 32 minutes

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the NBA podcast to discuss a six game slate of games. There’s a ton of injury news to digest coming this early. Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, Danilo Gallinari and Wilson Chandler all sitting out tonight. That’s going to open up a ton of value from that game in particular. Will Barton, Juan Hernangomez and Marreese Speights all come in as strong value plays.  Additionally, Kristaps Porzingis will sit for the Knicks opening up usage considerations fo...

Wednesday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/15/17

March 15, 2017 13:30 - 28 minutes

DFSR’s Doug Norrie takes to solo NBA discussing a full Wednesday in the Association. The big story tonight is fading the blowout. Teams like the Spurs and Rockets are in very solid matchups, but come in with big Vegas lines on their sides. We’ll have to make some decisions about whether we think those starters see the fourth quarters in their respective games.  Other pieces of news out there include Nic Batum sitting again making Jeremy Lamb likely a popular play again and Kemba Walker seein...

Tuesday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/14/17

March 14, 2017 13:00 - 32 minutes

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take a look at a five game schedule in the NBA. The major piece of news we’ll be waiting on today is how weather could effect the games in Brooklyn and New York. With a snowstorm there we could see these games postponed. Stay tuned for that news.  Outside of that major waiting game, there’s solid value on this slate. If everything goes off without a hitch then you likely see Russell Westbrook and Victor Oladipo chalk plays against a defensively-deficient Br...

Friday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/10/17

March 10, 2017 15:00 - 46 minutes

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis jump on a Friday podcast to take a look at an 8-game NBA slate. That’s a few less games than your normal Friday but there’s still plenty to discuss. The big story for today is finding out injury news on key players. Nikola Vucevic’s status plays a huge part in how we view the Magic, specifically Bismack Biyombo, Elfrid Payton, Aaron Gordon and Evan Fournier.  Then there’s Nikola Jokic and Danilo Gallinari who are dealing with sickness and vertigo respective...

Thursday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/9/17

March 09, 2017 15:00 - 40 minutes

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis break down a Thursday of NBA action with five games on the slate. The highest total of the night, by far, is the Suns and Lakers who come in at a whopping 230 implied points. It should be an up and down affair with guys like D’Angelo Russell, Julius Randle, Brandon Ingram, Alan Williams and TJ Warren looking very solid for cash games.  There’s also the Spurs taking on the Thunder with Kawhi Leonard likely coming in as a chalk play across both sites. They di...

Wednesday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/8/17

March 08, 2017 17:00 - 51 minutes

DFSR’s Doug Norrie breaks down a huge, 11 game slate in the NBA tonight with a ton to consider throughout the day. Injury news is going to be the story today with all kinds of stuff hanging out there in the wind. Vucevic has already been rule out which means we can go back to the Biyombo well again with other Magic coming in as value plays. Some of the more interesting teams include the Hornets who are going to be without Kaminsky, the Bulls who may be without Butler and Wade, the Rockets po...

Tuesday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/7/17

March 07, 2017 15:30 - 30 minutes

The DFSR crew of Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the pod to discuss the three-game slate of NBA action. For only three games there’s a lot to consider with a couple of really high Vegas totals. They start the discussion with Russell Westbrook and how highly owned he is even at more than $13000 on both sites.  Then they break down the Trailblazers situation coming off the postponement from last night.  The Mavs are in a great spot against the fast-paced, no defense LA Lakers with really ...

Monday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/6/17

March 06, 2017 16:00 - 35 minutes

DFSR’s Doug Norrie returns to the podcast to discuss a huge Monday in the NBA. There are 12 games on the slate and it’s already looking like value all around for both FanDuel and DraftKings. He goes game-by-game discussing the different cash options and how some injury pieces will possibly effect the value in different players.    Some of the more interesting games include the Knicks and Magic with the latter finally seeing more consistent minutes from their starters. Vucevic sitting again ...

Thursday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 2/23/17

February 23, 2017 14:30 - 33 minutes

DFSR’s Doug Norrie takes to another solo NBA pod discussing the first day back from the All-Star Break. It seems like we never left. Today’s a really interesting one considering it’s also the trade deadline and we could see some players on the move from the games going down this evening. It will mean monitoring news and making adjustments on the fly.  Obviously the big piece of speculation for tonight is how Demarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis fit together on the Pelicans. While almost defini...

Thursday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 2/16/17

February 16, 2017 14:30 - 23 minutes

DFSR’s Doug Norrie takes to a quick Thursday NBA podcast to talk about a small two-game slate for FanDuel and DraftKings. Even though it’s only two games there’s still plenty of DFS relevant issues to discuss. The major one is whether or not Dwayne Wade plays tonight. His availability effects the projections for just about the whole Bulls’ team, Jimmy Butler most notably. But there’s also Michael Carter-Williams and some other bench pieces to consider as well.  The Wizards-Pacers game has pl...

Wednesday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 2/15/17

February 15, 2017 16:00 - 47 minutes

It’s another DFSR solo podcast with Doug Norrie breaking down a huge, Pre-All Star Break in the NBA with just about every team going tonight. He goes game-by-game discussing the various fantasy implications with injuries, new roles and players coming at discounts.  Some of the more in depth looks come with how Cleveland looks to matchup up against the Pacers tonight and if Channing Frye can replicate last night’s performance. There’s also talk about how Serge Ibaka fits into this Raptors’ of...

Tuesday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 2/14/17

February 14, 2017 14:00 - 37 minutes

It’s another DFSR solo podcast with Doug Norrie breaking down a three game NBA slate for FanDuel and DraftKings. Even with such a short Valentine’s Day slate there’s plenty to discuss. Some injury news we’ll want to check in on throughout the day starts with whether the Bulls will sit both Jimmy Butler and Dwayne Wade again. If so, then Michael Carter-Williams should see plenty of minutes though it’s less clear about the rest of the team.  There’s also the Cavs without Kevin Love tonight and...

Monday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 2/13/17

February 13, 2017 14:00 - 47 minutes

DFSR’s Doug Norrie takes to a solo, on-the-road NBA podcast to discuss a huge Monday in the NBA. There’s a ton to break down with some cheaper values already creeping to the forefront this early in the day.  Some of the more relevant games include a Sixer-Charlotte affair with Nerlens Noel coming in at a great price considering Philly’s without Embiid and Okafor. On the Charlotte side you could see another start from Frank Kaminsky and Kemba Walker is coming cheap on FanDuel thanks to some r...

Thursday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 2/9/17

February 09, 2017 15:00 - 33 minutes

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take a look at a five game NBA slate for FanDuel and DraftKings. The big news here is the Cavs likely sitting their big three in Lebron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. That leaves Cleveland incredibly thin across the board and we could see steady doses of most of the cheap Cavs’ players. This will be the piece of news to monitor as we get closer to lineup lock.  After that we can likely safely get big money in on Russell Westbrook and James Harden becau...

Wednesday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 2/8/17

February 08, 2017 15:00 - 44 minutes

DFSR’s Doug Norrie takes to a solo podcast to break down a huge 12 game NBA slate for FanDuel and DraftKings. Tons to dissect here with almost every NBA team running tonight.  He breaks it down game by game spending a bit more time with teams like the Wizards facing the lowly Brooklyn Nets. John Wall, Brad Beal, Markieff Morris and Otto Porter all make for strong cash game plays. There’s also the Cavs who could be without Iman Shumpert tonight and the Pistons squaring up against a fast-pace/...

Tuesday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 2/7/17

February 07, 2017 17:00 - 31 minutes

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take a look at an interesting three game slate in the NBA. Sometimes these small slates can get a little tricky but this one looks packed with value. A lot of that comes from the Hornets getting to face the Nets who of course are the team we always want to target against in DFS. Playing four Hornets is totally in play with Kemba Walker and Nic Batum likely coming in as chalk.  James Harden is another chalk play against the Magic though we do need to worry s...

Friday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 2/3/17

February 03, 2017 16:00 - 51 minutes

The DFSR guys Doug Norrie and James Davis break down a full slate of Friday NBA for FanDuel and DraftKings. There’s a ton going down in the NBA with a bunch of bad defenses like the Nets, Nuggets and Blazers (to name a few) taking the court. Whenever that happens the value plays jump to the top of the list. They talk about the Pacers and how four of their five starters are cash game viable going in. The same can be said for the Mavericks against the Blazers.  They also break down some of the...

Thursday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 2/2/17

February 02, 2017 15:00 - 33 minutes

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take a look at a four game NBA slate for FanDuel and DraftKings. They go game-by-game discussing the DFS implications of each on a night with a lot of blowout risk. Every game has a -8 or higher line heading in and that definitely causes some concern with players not seeing fourth quarters if the games are getting out of hand.  They talk about James Harden and how he’s likely the chalk play going in. There’s also discussion of the Wizards and how the team’s...

Wednesday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 2/1/17

February 01, 2017 15:00 - 36 minutes

DFSR’s Doug Norrie breaks down a full slate of NBA action for Wednesday with twelve games on the docket. Ton’s to dissect here with some injury news already known. Dear Derozan will sit again making Kyle Lowry and Norman Powell fantastic values for the relative usage and minutes increases they’ll see against the Celtics.  We also know Kevin Love will sit tonight which will leave a decision on whether we can pay more than $11K for Lebron here. It’s close and Doug dives into his thought proces...

Tuesday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 1/31/17

January 31, 2017 15:30 - 34 minutes

It’s a full day of DFS talk here with a solid basketball slate. The show starts with a solo-pod style NBA breakdown. DFSR’s James Davis is off speaking in front of the New Hampshire Senate on a proposed DFS bill there leaving Doug Norrie t break down the NBA action. He talks about the big money guys like James Harden in a slower matchup against the Kings and Russell Westbrook with a bad matchup against the Spurs. That leaves us possibly stomaching Anthony Davis who’s always an injury waiting ...

Monday NBA Value Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings - 1/30/17

January 30, 2017 17:30 - 30 seconds

It’s a Monday solo NBA pod with Doug Norrie as he breaks down the action for a 5-game slate. The big injury news today is Kevin Love sitting and how that effects the rest of the Cavs’ usage and opportunity. It stands to reason Lebron James is a chalk play on this slate and Kyrie irving definitely sees a usage bump as well. We will likely have to wait and see on who starts in Love’s place but Channing Frye would be an interesting punt if he saw significant minutes with Lebron.  The Heat are i...

Friday NBA DFS Talk for FanDuel and DraftKings - 1/27/17

January 27, 2017 16:00 - 59 minutes

It’s another DFSR NBA solo podcast today with Doug Norrie talking a very uncertain slate of Friday NBA action. As of the time of the recording, half of the games didn’t have Vegas lines as we wait for a bunch of injury news to flush out.  Doug goes game-by-game and breaks down things to look out for and who would stand to see increased value in injury situations. It’s a tough nut to crack this early in the day as we are waiting on news about Joel Embiid, Demar Derozan, Kawhi Leonard and Hass...

Thursday NBA Value Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings - 1/26/17

January 26, 2017 17:00 - 40 minutes

DFSR’s Doug Norrie runs an NBA solo pod today of the four-game Thursday slate of games. First he looks back at some of the injury concerns from last night with guys like Anthony Davis and Hassan Whiteside both exiting early and crushing some lineups.  He then goes into the Dallas injury issues for today with Dirk Nowitzki, Wes Matthews and Deron Williams already ruled out. That opens the door for Seth Curry, Harrison Barnes and possibly Pierre Jackson logging heavy minutes. Really all of the...

Tuesday NBA Value Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings - 1/24/17

January 24, 2017 15:30 - 38 minutes

The DFSR crew takes a long look at a shorter Tuesday NBA slate. There are some relevant injury issues to get out of the way early. Demar Derozan and Joel Embiid are out tonight which has cascading effects down the Raptors’ and Clippers’ rosters. They talk about Kyle Lowry, Norman Powell, Jahlil Okafor and Ersan Ilyasova.  They also discuss the Bulls’ situation with Jimmy Butler and Dwayne Wade and how they line up against the Magic. Speaking of the Magic, the guys discuss Elfrid Payton and A...

January 20, 2017 15:30 - 40 minutes

The DFSR crew of James Davis and Doug Norrie talk a full Friday in the NBA highlighted by the biggest game of the night: the Warriors vs. Rockets. We could see some some higher ownership numbers in that one with guys like Harden, Durant, Klay, Curry, Ariza and more. It’s appointment television.  The guys also discuss the Pelicans vs. the perfect DFS matchup in the Nets and how we are getting back to a world where we need to worry about the injury risk on Anthony Davis.  They also take a loo...

Thursday NBA Value Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings - 1/19/17

January 19, 2017 16:30 - 33 minutes

The DFSR crew of James Davis and Doug Norrie talk a five game slate of NBA action. This one is a tricky one with two of the five games coming in as potential blowouts. Both the Cavs and Spurs opened at -12.5 favorites over the Suns and Nuggets respectively.  They discuss how Chris Paul’s injury opens up a ton of minutes for Austin Rivers and Raymond Felton at point guard. They also discuss Roddick and Jamal Crawford in that back court as well.  Then they weight the safety in a guy like Carm...

Tuesday NBA Value Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings - 1/17/17

January 17, 2017 16:00 - 32 minutes

Coming off a crazy holiday slate of Monday basketball, things look to stabilize a bit in the NBA tonight as we get back to our normal main slate start times.  The guys talk about how the Nets are playing tonight which likely means once again loading up on Raptors like Kyle Lowry, Demar Derozan and Demarre Carroll. They also discuss the Nuggets’ situation at length with Gary Harris likely out tonight. They could free up a lot of minutes for Emmanuel Mudiay and Jameer Nelson. But there’s also ...

January 13, 2017 15:30 - 43 minutes

DFSR Crew of James Davis and Doug Norrie break down a nine game NBA slate for FanDuel and DraftKings. They start by how sites are changing/ adjusting pricing based on matchups and that’s a definite consideration today. James Harden’s seen a definitive price decrease tonight facing the Grizzlies.

That opens the door for guys like Doug McDermott and Ni...

Friday NBA Value Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings - 1/6/17

January 06, 2017 15:00 - 39 minutes

DFSR crew talks an eight game slate of NBA with a few superstars taking the court. James Harden is coming on the back-to-back against Orlando and the guys talk about whether that effects his minutes. There’s also Giannis who’s coming off a big buzzer beater win against the Knicks two nights ago. He gets that same matchup tonight and might be the chalk play.  They also discuss the Clippers’ backcourt value with Austin Rivers, Raymond Felton and J.J. Redick all getting more minutes with Chris ...
