With an injured Fred VanVleet, Scottie Barnes is a player to watch in Monday’s game against the Pistons. The NBA starts off the week on Monday with seven games on the schedule. Injuries continue to pile up across the league, which will leave several teams shorthanded. When the Pistons host the Raptors, Pascal Siakam (groin), Fred VanVleet (illness) and Cade Cunningham (lower leg) will all be out. Kawhi Leonard (knee) and John Wall (knee) will both be out during the Clippers’… Source link

Monday is a little light, especially since the primary slate of DFS contests on Yahoo doesn’t include a 5:30 p.m. ET start between the Islanders and the Senators. However, that means you have until 8:30 p.m. ET to get your lineups in, so you have a little extra time. Here are some players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS contests. GOALIE Antti Raanta, CAR at CHI ($33): Frederik Andersen may return, but that’s up in the air, and Raanta has looked decent thus far. He has a .911 save… Source link

Halfway through November, the NHL is up and running and firing on all cylinders. It’s been an interesting season thus far, and that will hopefully continue Sunday. There are five games starting at 6 p.m. EST or later. Here are some players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Igor Shesterkin, NYR vs. ARI ($36): Both teams are on the second leg of a back-to-back, but Shesterkin and the Rangers are at home. The Coyotes come in last in shots on net allowed per game. Shesterkin is… Source link

Fred VanVleet has stepped up with averages of 29.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 6.3 assists over the past 3 games. The NBA returns from a quiet Thursday with eight games Friday. One of the most appealing matchups features the Celtics hosting the Nuggets. Out West, the Warriors will welcome the up-and-coming Cavs, who’ve dropped their last two. Among the notable injuries on this slate will be LeBron James (thigh), Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) and Jrue Holiday (ankle), who are all out. Let’s… Source link

Fridays are more fun with some DFS hockey. There are four NHL games on the slate here in the middle of November. Here are the players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Andrei Vasilevskiy, TAM at WAS ($33): While we are a little over a dozen games into the NHL season for each team, there are still some things I expect to shake out as the season goes on. Like, say, Vasilevskiy’s numbers. He has a career 2.51 GAA and .919 save percentage, and he has finished a season with a… Source link

The NBA schedule lightens up Thursday with only four games for daily fantasy players to choose from. There will be some teams on the second game of a back-to-back set, including the Mavericks, Pelicans and Trail Blazers. The Mavericks will try to bounce back from a disappointing loss to the Magic when they face the Wizards, but they will have to do so without Christian Wood (knee). The 76ers did not play Wednesday, so they will be well rested for their matchup against the Hawks, who are yet… Source link

Zach LaVine prepares to face the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday after a strong 30-point night on Monday.  Yahoo’s main contests will span 12 of the 13 available games on Wednesday, as the game between the Mavericks and Magic is excluded due to a rescheduled tip-off. We’ll identify players to target and fade in this enormous player pool, and we’ll opt for value and less-exposed targets over obvious nightly additions. GUARDS Zach LaVine, CHI ($28) vs. NOP A nagging knee injury… Source link

As with elections, DFS hockey is all about results. There are four games on the docket Wednesday, which is one or two more than usual so that’s something, for the NHL. Here are some players to target, and to avoid, for your lineups. Let’s get you some good results! GOALIE Tristan Jarry, PIT at WAS ($33): It’s a tricky night for goalies. Jarry has had a rough year, in part because the Penguins have allowed just a ton of shots. However, in his career Jarry has a 2.61 GAA and .914 save… Source link

Sunday was a light day for the NHL, but so is Monday. Once again, there are only three games on the slate. Hey, every day can’t be brimming with hockey, even if that is what we’d like. This isn’t baseball, after all. Here are the players I’d target, and avoid, for DFS lineups Monday. GOALIE Linus Ullmark, BOS vs. STL ($40): Jeremy Swayman‘s injury is unfortunate, but Ullmark had already grabbed the lead role for the Bruins. He has a 2.16 GAA and .929 save percentage. It likely won’t continue,… Source link
