Sunday slates always tend to be a bit lighter, and that’s certainly the case here. There are only five games on the main slate, thus limiting the player pool to 10 teams. That actually makes things easier for us because there’s less information to keep track of. Crazy things still happen every day with injuries, resting and COVID protocols, so it’s imperative to keep an eye on updates all the way up to first tip. With that in mind, let’s get into this Sunday slate! Guards Damian Lillard,… Source link

The first week of the NBA season has been crazy. What is becoming clear is the fact that we have tons of things to worry about as DFS players. Whether it’s COVID protocols, players resting, disciplinary issues, scratches or injuries, we’ve had a ton of chaos in the DFS community. That’s just the nature of the game though and it makes it as important as ever to keep an eye on news and updates up until tip-off. With that in mind, let’s dive into this modest five-game ledger! Guards Victor… Source link

The Week 17 NFL main slate begins Sunday at 1:00 p.m. EDT and features all 32 teams. It’s important to consider which teams still have something to play for and which ones will be taking their foot off the gas to prepare for the playoffs as you try to finish the DFS regular season on a high note. With that in mind, some of the standout Week 17 options include a pair of wide receivers with double-digit touchdown totals, a fill-in starter at running back and a much-maligned defense. TOURNAMENTS… Source link

Wednesday brings a fairly limited slate in the NBA consisting of just six games. However, the night won’t be short on star power with the Lakers, Clippers, Bucks and Nets among the teams in action. Let’s discuss some players at various salary points to consider for your Yahoo lineup, as well as a few to possibly avoid. GUARDS Dillon Brooks, MEM at BOS ($22): There are a lot of Grizzlies on this list, and for good reason. Seven players have been ruled out for this contest, including their two… Source link

MATCHES (EST) FORWARDS Patrick Bamford, LEE at WBA (£27): Danny Ings (£17) has the top goal scoring odds on the slate but is coming back from a hamstring injury and may not be fit for the visit from West Ham. That leaves Bamford with the next best odds to find the back of the net, which he’s done plenty this season, scoring 10 goals on 54 shots (25 on goal). He will be visiting a West Bromwich Albion side that conceded the most shots, shots on goal, accurate crosses and corners won of the 10… Source link

Guards Ben Simmons, PHI ($39) vs. NYK Simmons comes at a premium, but few guards can match his level of all-around production. Simmons finished Wednesday’s opener with 16 points, nine rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and two steals. Fred VanVleet, TOR ($32) vs. SAN This is a bit of a buy low after VanVleet struggled in the Raptors’ disappointing opener, but he’ll have a good chance to bounce back against San Antonio. He could face a difficult individual matchup in Dejounte Murray, but look… Source link

MATCHES (ET) FORWARDS Sergio Aguero, MCI v. Newcastle (£27): Aguero hasn’t started a match since coming back from injury but he has been on the bench the past two matches. If fully fit and starting, Aguero has the highest goal-scoring odds of any player on the slate, followed closely by Gabriel Jesus (£24). Manchester City are heavy favorites and have a good chance to score multiple goals, so it’s worth considering the likes of Raheem Sterling (£29) or Ferran Torres (£20). Putting a lineup… Source link

After a brief offseason, the NBA is once again back in our lives. This season will be very different as COVID-19 has created a condensed schedule and arenas with no fans. Still, there is nothing quite like the excitement of Opening Night. We have a brief two-game slate Tuesday, so let’s discuss some players to consider for your Yahoo lineup, as well as a few to possibly avoid. GUARDS Stephen Curry, GS at BKN ($44): After being limited to five games last season because of injury, the Warriors… Source link

MATCHES (EST) FORWARDS Richarlison, EVE v. ARS (£23): The matchup against Arsenal isn’t the easiest one, but that shouldn’t trouble Richarlison, who has scored at least 8.50 fantasy points in five straight games, with only one goal and one assist in that span. He’s a consistent shot-taker who wins corners and draws fouls, giving him a solid floor on a slate with not many good floor options. Teammate Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£27) has the highest anytime goal scorer odds among expected starters,… Source link
