Yahoo DFS Basketball: Sunday Picks

Sunday slates tend to be smaller ones, but we’re being treated to seven games. What’s really nice is we have a bunch of close contests to look forward to, with only Milwaukee coming in as a massive favorite over Sacramento. Every other matchup should be tight, and that’s all we can ask for as DFS managers!   Guards Fred VanVleet, TOR vs. PHI ($38) With Kyle Lowry missing another game, FVV should get another start at point guard. He’s had monstrous usage in this role by averaging 38 minutes and… Source link

The Canadiens and Bruins are significant favorites Sunday, while the Canucks are receiving short home chalk with the Yahoo featured contests only including the three evening games. Here’s a quick-hit primer to aid your lineup selections.  GOALIE Matt Murray, OTT vs. MON ($20): This is a letdown spot for the Canadiens after losing to Toronto 5-3 Saturday, and there’s potential for Murray to pad his fantasy point total through saves as Montreal has attempted the most shots per 60 minutes in the… Source link

Let’s get right down to business and highlight some players to consider for your Yahoo entries, as well as a few to potentially avoid. GUARDS Delon Wright, DET at CHI ($24): With Derrick Rose gone and Killian Hayes (hip) still out, Wright doesn’t really have anyone pushing him for playing time at point guard.

Yahoo DFS Hockey: Tuesday Picks

As I write this, no games for Tuesday have been postponed, but for some reason I’m feeling unusually wary. Hopefully all six of them do end up happening, even if they involve a few teams that have missed a lot of games thus far. While we’ve been getting some early starts this season, no puck gets dropped before 7:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday. Let’s get to the recommendations and hope they all remain relevant! I don’t like being this skeptical. GOALIE Jake Oettinger, DAL vs. NAS ($28): Oettinger is… Source link
