This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Basketball series. The NBA begins the week with only six games on the schedule Monday. The Bulls have played much better against teams with a winning record this season and will try to continue their improvement in that area during a matchup against the Celtics. Another potentially exciting Eastern Conference battle will occur in New York when the Knicks host the Bucks. As far as the Western Conference goes, a highlight matchup will be LeBron… Source link

After a slow slate on Saturday, we’re back to normal with nine games and six making up the main card. That’s the perfect amount for DFS because it’s not too many players to get lost in, but it’s enough to diversify your lineups. We have some great options on this slate, so let’s get started with the hottest player in the NBA. Guards Luka Doncic, DAL at OKC ($60) Luka is the best player in fantasy, and it’s not even close. The Slovenian is leading the NBA with 61 Yahoo points per game, thanks to… Source link

The Week 18 NFL main slate consists of 13 games scheduled after 1 p.m. EST on Sunday. The only teams excluded from this slate are the ones playing Saturday (Chiefs-Raiders and Titans-Jaguars) and the Sunday Night Football participants (Lions-Packers). With many teams either locked into their playoff seed or out of playoff contention, some will not play their starters, so make sure to double check the status of your lineup selections prior to kickoff Sunday. Yahoo will be running plenty of NFL… Source link

Last time it was Saturday, we were ringing in the new year. Now we’re here in 2023 with seven NHL games this Saturday night. Here are some players to target, and a handful to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Matt Murray, TOR vs. DET ($36): Murray got off to a hot start for the Leafs, and while he’s slipped a bit lately, he still has a 2.61 GAA and .913 save percentage. Saturday, assuming he’s in net, he’ll get the Red Wings and their below-average offense on the second leg of a… Source link

There’s something crazy going on in the NBA right now. We’re getting to a point where these defenses can’t match up with the offenses, leading to ridiculous stat lines. We’ve had more 40-point games than ever, and we have to assume they’ll keep rolling in with how special these guys are on the offensive end. That said, we only have four games on Saturday’s slate, leaving fewer opportunities to hit that threshold. Even so, there’s still plenty to discuss, so let’s get started with one of my… Source link

Jalen Duren and the Pistons travel to San Antonio to face the Spurs Friday night at 8 ET. The NBA closes out the work week with 11 games on Friday. Injuries and players resting will once again take center stage. The 76ers have already ruled out Joel Embiid, who will be missing his second straight game because of a foot injury. The Cavaliers have said Donovan Mitchell will sit out their matchup with the Nuggets for rest. The Nuggets will be playing the second game of a back-to-back set, so… Source link

The NBA closes out the work week with 11 games on Friday. Injuries and players resting will once again take center stage. The 76ers have already ruled out Joel Embiid, who will be missing his second straight game because of a foot injury. The Cavs have said Donovan Mitchell will sit out their matchup with the Nuggets for rest. The Nuggets will be playing the second game of a back-to-back set, so they’ll also need to be monitored for potentially giving players the night off. Let’s sift… Source link

Utah’s Lauri Markannen is a player who is likely to excel during Thursday night’s matchup against the Rockets. Thursday brings a limited slate consisting of only four games. Among the eight teams that are set to take the floor, the Grizzlies, Magic and Rockets will be playing the second game of a back-to-back set. The Nuggets and Clippers will be playing the front end of a back-to-back set, so things could get tricky. One of the marquee matchups in which neither of those scenarios… Source link

Ja Morant might be primed for a big night against Charlotte. After a quiet Tuesday, the NBA storms back with 12 games on the schedule Wednesday. Unfortunately, we’ll be missing several star players because of injuries. The Suns have a tough matchup against the Cavaliers on the road and will remain without Devin Booker (groin). The Pelicans will have their depth tested with Brandon Ingram (toe) and Zion Williamson (hamstring) out for their game against the Rockets. Finally, the Bucks,… Source link
