The NBA tips off the week with seven games on the schedule Monday. Among the exciting matchups is the Sixers hosting the Pacers and the Pelicans taking on the Jazz. Let’s try to add to the fun by hopefully winning some cash on Yahoo. Here are some players to consider for your entries, as well as a few to possibly avoid. GUARDS LaMelo Ball, CHA at POR ($37): Ball has been locked in offensively during the Hornets’ current West Coast trip, scoring at least 20 points in all four games. That… Source link

There are seven games in the NHL on Monday with Colorado the largest favorite on the docket by a considerable margin. The Flames are also receiving notable chalk. Once again, the highest over/under totals are in the three North Division matchups, and the Hurricanes-Panther and Avalanche-Sharks matchups could also be high scoring. Here are some leans and fades to consider when assembling your lineups.  GOALIE Jordan Binnington, STL at ANH ($34): The Ducks have scored the fewest goals per game… Source link

Last week, the NASDAQ slipped below 13,200, making the net loss from its all-time peak, reached earlier this month, 6.4%. If this trend keeps up, the index will slip into correction territory, a loss of 10% from its peak. So what exactly is going on? At bottom, it’s mixed signals. The COVID-19 pandemic is starting to fade and the economy is starting to reopen – strong positives that should boost markets. But an economic restart brings with it inflationary pressures: more people working… Source link

Sunday slates tend to be lighter, but that’s not the case here. We have just one game during the day and then an eight-game nightcap. The good news is we don’t have a lot in terms of injuries or COVID news, which is a breath of fresh air with everything over the last few weeks. It’s also one of my final articles before the All-Star break, and we’re looking forward to finishing off the first half strong. Without further ado, let’s get into it!  Guards  Dennis Schroder, LAL vs. GSW… Source link

The main contests at Yahoo consist of the five late games beginning at 3:00 p.m. EST. Philadelphia and Washington come in as road favorites, whereas Chicago, Nashville and New York are all receiving chalk at home. The highest over/under total is in the Capitals-Devils contest. Here are some leans and fades to consider when assembling your lineups.  GOALIE Carter Hart, PHI at BUF ($24): It’s been a tough season for Hart, but his struggles are also built into his salary and this is primed as a… Source link

Friday’s slate was a lot of fun, and we have another exciting Saturday slate here. We have seven games in total, beginning at 7ET. What’s fascinating is that we have some of the worst defenses in the NBA on display. That’s definitely going to be a theme in this article, so let’s kick things off with one of those.   Guards  Dejounte Murray, SAN vs. NOP ($35)  The Spurs just had a COVID breakout in their locker room, and it’s leaving Murray to feast. They’re currently without DeMar DeRozan, Source link

It’s a busy Saturday in the NHL, and the main contests at Yahoo! consist of the 10 evening games beginning at 7 p.m. EST. There are two back-to-back matchups with Colorado-Arizona and Los Angeles-Minnesota playing for the second consecutive night. It’s obviously an incredibly deep player pool, so unless you’re looking for contrarian angles, there’s no need to force players into lineups with tough matchups. Vegas, Colorado, Chicago and Tampa Bay are all the largest favorites on the… Source link

MATCHES (EST) FORWARDS Raphinha, LEE v. AVL (£28): This one is pretty easy: Leeds have the highest implied goal total on the slate and Raphinha has the highest floor. He’s had at least nine fantasy points in each of the last seven matches, which is why he gets the nod over Patrick Bamford (£30) for me. Bamford has the best odds to score, but his floor is often below five points. Pedro Neto, WOL at NEW (£23): Neto plays a similar role to Raphinha, but the difference is that Wolves aren’t as… Source link

This is a unique three-game slate with all six teams owning top-10 ranks in penalty-kill percentage. The Bruins are playing their second road game in consecutive nights and are a significant favorite. The Avalanche and Wild are also receiving big chalk, and all three games have a 5.5 over/under total.  GOALIE Alexandar Georgiev, NYR vs. BOS ($22): Boston lost 7-2 to the Islanders on Thursday, and while there’s definite bounce-back potential, this is also a tough, back-to-back road spot for… Source link

The NBA closes out the work week with nine games on the schedule. Players resting and injuries will once again have a significant impact in DFS. As you work your way through the options, here are some players to consider targeting, as well as a few to possibly avoid. GUARDS De’Aaron Fox, SAC at DET ($36): It’s been an ugly stretch for the Kings, who have lost nine straight games. It hasn’t been Fox’s fault considering he averaged 22 points, 3.0 rebounds, 9.4 assists and 1.3 steals during that… Source link
