Tuesday brings a light slate in the NBA consisting of only four games. We won’t have as many viable options to choose from in DFS, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t finish the evening with a winning entry. Here are some players to consider targeting, as well as a few to potentially avoid. GUARDS Terry Rozier, CHA at WAS ($29): Rozier is having an excellent season in the scoring department, averaging 20.5 points per game. He’s been even better since LaMelo Ball (wrist) went down, averaging… Source link

There are seven NHL games Tuesday, including the expected return of the Montreal Canadiens to action. Fingers crossed that actually happens, and if it does there is potential there for the Habs. Montreal is slated to host Edmonton, the only team on the second leg of a back-to-back Tuesday. Here are my recommendations for who to target, and who to avoid, for your daily fantasy lineup. GOALIE Jaroslav Halak, BOS vs. NJD ($34): The last time these two teams played, which was Sunday, Halak made 28… Source link

There are seven games in the NHL on Monday with the Avalanche, Golden Knights and Flyers the three largest favorites on the docket. It’s also worth noting that Anaheim is the only team playing for the second consecutive night. The highest over/under total is in the Toronto-Edmonton bout. Here are some picks and pans for Monday’s DFS action. All statistics from Natural Stat Trick and Hockey Reference. GOALIE Brian Elliott, PHI at BUF ($28): The Sabres have scored the fewest five-on-five goals… Source link

To say this Sunday slate is a slow one would be an understatement. We only have four games with three making up the night slate. That would usually be very frustrating, but most of the matchups are fascinating. Four of the six teams made a huge move at the trade deadline on Thursday, while the Lakers look like a shell of themselves because of injuries. That means there’s going to be plenty of value, so let’s get into it! Guards Dennis Schroder, LAL vs. ORL ($25) The Lakers are in a tough… Source link

Sunday is a day for early starts, but not a day for well-rested teams. The first game is starting at 12:00 p.m. ET, but I am still going to look at the full slate for my recommendations because five of the six start at 6:00 p.m. or earlier. Eight of the teams also played on Saturday, which means plenty of back-to-backs and recommendations. GOALIE Jaroslav Halak, BOS vs. NJD ($34): The Bruins are playing for the second straight day while the Devils are not, but I am still willing to go with… Source link

It’s an exciting Saturday in the NHL with six of the seven evening games that make up the featured contests at Yahoo projected to be close contests according to the odds. Toronto is the lone sizable favorite, and the Maple Leafs-Oilers game also has the highest over/under total. It’s also worth noting that Winnipeg beat Calgary 3-2, and Arizona topped San Jose 5-2 on Friday, so all four clubs are playing the second leg of a back-to-back start. All statistics from Natural Stat Trick and Hockey… Source link

A busy trade deadline Thursday makes for an interesting DFS slate Friday. Not only are there 11 games, but we could see some limited depth charts as recently traded players might not yet be eligible to play. Let’s discuss some players to consider while working your way through the options, and some to possibly avoid. GUARDS Trae Young, ATL at GS ($39): The shorthanded Warriors are coming off a loss to the Kings on Thursday where they allowed De’Aaron Fox to score 44 of the Kings’ 141 points…. Source link

There are only five games in the NBA on Thursday, but the night could still be a wild one with the trade deadline looming in the afternoon. Be sure to monitor for news throughout the day that could impact the slate. As things currently stand, here are some players to consider for your entries, as well as a few to possibly avoid. GUARDS De’Aaron Fox, SAC vs. GS ($39): The Kings won a nail biter against the Hawks on Wednesday, mostly thanks to Fox’s superb play. He scored 37 points in the… Source link

The NHL is being generous to hockey fans Thursday, as we have a whopping 11 games on the slate. However, one of those games involves the Bruins, who have had a couple games postponed due to COVID-19. The expectation at the moment is for that game to go on, but we can’t be certain. However, it’s also the Bruins versus the Islanders. If that game happens, I don’t expect more than a couple goals. Maybe just skip over that one, though the goalies on those two squads are always enticing. Here are… Source link

Let’s get right down to business and highlight some players to consider adding to your entries, as well as a few to possibly avoid. GUARDS John Wall, HOU vs. CHA ($29): The Rockets finally broke their long losing streak with a win over the Raptors on Monday. Wall played a key role in the win, posting a triple-double on his way to 53.2 Yahoo points. He’s scored at least 42.9 Yahoo points in four of his last five… Source link
