Yahoo DFS Basketball: Saturday Picks

Yahoo DFS Basketball: Saturday Picks

Saturdays usually tend to have games spread throughout the day, but they start at 8ET today. That means it’s going to be a late-night for all of the east coasters out there, but it’s perfect for a Mountain Time person like me! What’s also interesting about this slate are all the close games, with many of them having narrow spreads. That means we’re going to have a fun night of basketball ahead of us, so let’s go ahead and get into it! Guards  Damian Lillard, POR at CHI ($48) Portland has been… Source link

Yahoo DFS Basketball: Sunday Picks

Yahoo DFS Basketball: Sunday Picks

The main slate consists of only three games beginning at 8:00 p.m. EST. A big reason for that is the NFL Conference Championships and it’s going to make these prize pools a lot smaller than usual. That doesn’t really matter for us because we’re going to continue to grind out profits. The six teams in action will be the Atlanta Hawks, Milwaukee Bucks, Washington Wizards, San Antonio Spurs, New York Knicks and Portland Trail Blazers. There are plenty of question marks with these teams because… Source link

After a monster slate on Friday, we’re back to just seven games here. Having seven games instead of 11 makes things much easier on us and it’s a slate that I absolutely love.

With that in mind, let’s go ahead and get into it!  Guards  Victor Oladipo, HOU at DAL ($33)  Oladipo is posting a 53 percent usage rate with Christian Wood and John Wall off the floor. While that’s obviously a small… Source link
