Yahoo DFS Basketball: Sunday Picks

Sunday slates tend to be lighter, but that’s not the case here. We have just one game during the day and then an eight-game nightcap.

It’s also one of my final articles before the All-Star break, and we’re looking forward to finishing off the first half strong. Without further ado, let’s get into it!  Guards  Dennis Schroder, LAL vs. GSW… Source link

Yahoo DFS Basketball: Saturday Picks

Friday’s slate was a lot of fun, and we have another exciting Saturday slate here. We have seven games in total, beginning at 7ET.

Yahoo DFS Basketball: Monday Picks

Kicking off Week 10, we have a relatively small slate, by Monday standards. A seven-gamer has been reduced to six, as the Spurs-Pacers game was part of a string of postponements announced by the league last week due to positive tests within the Spurs. Nevertheless, Monday’s schedule still features a number of marquee names, including Luka Doncic, Ja Morant, Damian Lillard, Bradley Beal and, of course, LeBron James. Let’s take a look at the top options to consider for your Yahoo DFS… Source link

Yahoo DFS Basketball: Sunday Picks

Sunday slates tend to be smaller ones, but we’re being treated to seven games. What’s really nice is we have a bunch of close contests to look forward to, with only Milwaukee coming in as a massive favorite over Sacramento. Every other matchup should be tight, and that’s all we can ask for as DFS managers!   Guards Fred VanVleet, TOR vs. PHI ($38) With Kyle Lowry missing another game, FVV should get another start at point guard. He’s had monstrous usage in this role by averaging 38 minutes and… Source link
