GOALIE Kaapo Kahkonen, MIN vs. ANA ($37): The Wild are using Kahkonen and Cam Talbot pretty evenly, so I can’t say for certain who will start. Kahkonen’s last start did go poorly, but that was against the Avalanche so that is understandable.

Either way, I’m happy to go with either of Minnesota’s goalies against a Ducks team that has scored 2.15 goals per… Source link

March means it’s time for these NBA teams to show exactly who they are, with the trade deadline right around the corner. The NCAA games do leave us with a meager four-game slate here, though, but there’s still a lot of great action to discuss. With that in mind, let’s kick things off with some of the best values on Yahoo!  Guards  De’Aaron Fox, SAC at PHI ($41)  Many people may not realize it, but Fox has… Source link

I hope you had a nice St. Patrick’s Day. Now, it’s time to put the green hats away and finish off that leftover corned beef. There are 10 games on the NHL slate Thursday. You have a lot of options for your daily fantasy lineup. Here are some of the guys I would want to employ, and some folks I would eschew for this evening.
