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

Sunday is a light day in the NHL with only three games and two of them starting at 5 p.m. EST, so you’ll need to get your lineups in a little earlier. Here are some players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Igor Shesterkin, NYR vs. DET ($36): Shesterkin started a little slow by his standards, but has improved to a 2.41 GAA and .916 save percentage to match recent numbers. The Red Wings are on the road for the second leg of a back-to-back, which will help the the Russian… Source link

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Baseball series. The World Series could end Saturday. If the Astros win at home, they take another ring. But of course, the Phillies could force a Game 7. For DFS purposes, you have $75 in salary to divvy out to five players. Your Megastar earns you double the points, and your Superstar nets you 1.5 times the points. For perhaps the final time in the 2022 MLB season, here is my lineup. MEGASTAR Alex Bregman, HOU vs. PHI ($17): I like the Astros’… Source link

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Hockey series. Friday is an unusual one for the NHL. There are only two games, and one of them is starting at 2:00 p.m. ET. Why? Because it is happening in Finland. The league has largely cleared out to give that matinee offering a showcase. Pickings are slim for your lineups, but here are some players to target, and to avoid, for DFS purposes. GOALIE Alexandar Georgiev, COL vs. CLM ($35): When you see a goalie posting a .918 save percentage but a… Source link
