This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Basketball series. The opening round didn’t feature any Game 7s, but it was still phenomenal. With that said, this is where the good stuff begins. It definitely feels like we have the eight-best teams remaining, and it’s tough to know who’s the best of the bunch. Any argument can be made for all eight to go all the way, and it’ll be fun to watch them battle it out. We’re kicking off the Eastern Conference Semifinals here, and we’ll dive deep into… Source link

Things got wildly out of hand at a Georgia basketball game. (Screen grab via NoPauseTv/Twitter) Many adults joke that their greatest fear is being attacked by a group of teenagers. For one Georgia basketball referee, this nightmare recently became a reality. After the final whistle sounded last Sunday at an unsanctioned basketball tournament held at the Stronghold Christian Church in Lithonia, Georgia, a group of players physically attacked one of the referees. The referee subsequently… Source link

This is the most important day of the season marking the final day of my season-long leagues. I’ve been watching these rotations like a hawk, and I feel like we have a good read on how this Sunday card will play out. It’s a big one, with 24 of the 30 teams in action. Only six of those games make up the main card, so let’s go ahead and get into it. Guards Dejounte Murray, SAS vs. POR ($50) Murray is single-handedly trying to get the Spurs into the postseason.

Arkansas men’s basketball coach Eric Musselman and his wife, Danyelle Sargent Musselman, did an interview with “The Field of 68” podcast on Friday. Rob Dauster asked Danyelle, “What’s it like being married to him in Fayetteville? I got to imagine — those fans, one, they’re crazy; they’re out of their minds. It’s crazy in a good way, right?” “We don’t go out much,” Danyelle said. “We live in a little gated neighborhood, and that’s kind of like our sanctuary. We honestly, we don’t go out much….

The NBA takes a bit of a step back from a busy Wednesday with just five games on the schedule Thursday. The night won’t be short on drama, though, with several teams playing for playoff positioning. The most exciting matchup figures to be the Nets hosting the Bucks. The Bucks, who just knocked off the 76ers in Philadelphia on Tuesday, will be continuing their quest to snag one of the top seeds in the Eastern Conference. The Cavaliers and Bulls, two teams looking to avoid the play-in… Source link

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Basketball series. It must be difficult for DFS sites to set player salaries with many teams resting players. In any case, there’s some favorable valuation and we’re going to take advantage of that. Guards Kyrie Irving, BKN vs. CHA ($45) It was unclear if Kyrie was ever going to play a home game this season, but you know he’ll put on a show in his debut. Since returning, he’s posted at least 37 Yahoo points in each of his last nine while generating… Source link

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Basketball series. There are only two weeks left in the NBA regular season! It’s been a grind to get to this point, but we’re looking at a sprint for these final 16 days of the regular season. This is the time for some teams to battle for a playoff spot and other clubs to jockey for playoff positioning. That should detour some dreaded rest days, but there’s still plenty of chaos on the injury front and numerous teams playing for draft… Source link

Sundays are always tricky with the way they’re laid out, and we have another strange slate here. Eight games in total, with five making up the main card starting at 7 p.m. ET. The one nuisance could be the matchups, with three of the five looking like potential blowouts. Having that makes things challenging, but we’ll do our best to break it down for you. Guards Ja Morant, MEM at HOU ($46) We had Morant in this section on Saturday, and we’re going right back to the well in an even tastier… Source link

We’re one step closer to seeing Zion Williamson back on a basketball court again. According to Shams Charania and Will Guillory of The Athletic, Williamson has been cleared to start basketball activities and will be returning to the New Orleans Pelicans. This is great news for Williamson, the Pelicans, and fans. Just a few weeks ago, it was reported that Zion might need a second surgery. Now, just like that, he’s back on track to possibly appear in a game before the end of the season. And with… Source link

Sunday slates are going to be wild from here on out. There will be games spread throughout the day, and that’s certainly the case here with eight overall and five making up the main card beginning at 7 p.m. ET. Despite the small card, we do have some of the best players suiting up, and two of those superstars will be featured here. With that in mind, let’s kick things off with some value guards.
