NBA DFS Podcast for Apr. 5 Apr 05, 2019

Show notes

MEGA SLATE! We had a special guest from RotoGrinders with Andy Means helping out to go through this wild amount of information.

There are a ton of games to stack and even more value plays in basically every game. We'll point out some of our favorites, the chalk, some lower-owned studs with upside and a lot more.

We did this pod a little differently this time, so check it out! Last Friday of the regular season!

It's the final waiver wire podcast of the season, aka the Dwayne Bacon edition. We recommend players ranging from Josh Okogie to Bruno Caboclo to Luke Kornet to (reluctantly) Dion Waiters. And of course, the one and only Dwayne Bacon. Plus, what to do with the obscure players rounding out the Bulls rotation, including the surprisingly dynamic Shaquille Harrison. All that and more on this episode, and you can check out Steve Alexander's Waiver Wired column right here.

NBA DFS Podcast for Mar. 29 Mar 29, 2019

Show notes

We have a fun little six-game slate with a lot of stud point guards and not much else for expensive guys. There is also a lot of value, so spending up on the right guy will be the difference.

The Hawks have some minutes available with Taurean Prince likely out, so we'll talk about that in what is the stack game of the day.

Plus, some other cheap guys are options in the late games. Orange Mamba time?

We'll talk a little Christian Wood and some Thursday notes, too.

NBA DFS/Fantasy Podcast for Mar. 22 Mar 22, 2019

Show notes

The NBA has a whole lot going on, so I spent the first 13 minutes going over some takeaways from Thursday. A ton of rotation changes for a slew of teams, so I want to go over that for non-Friday DFS and for all the loyal season-long owners out there.

After the 13 minutes, it's a loaded Friday DFS slate. A few cheap point guards and a lot of the studs aren't in great spots.

Plus, some more teams are going to go with a youth movement.

There is also more season-long talk in here than usual, so hoping it helps out those looking to get a title.

Fantasy Headaches: Who Can We Trust Next Year? Mar 19, 2019

Show notes

Matt Stroup and Ryan Knaus look at some of the most polarizing (and maddening) fantasy options we saw this season — from Andrew Wiggins to Gary Harris to Draymond Green — weighing whether or not it's a good idea to target them in drafts next season. We also weigh the outlook going forward for Luka Doncic, Collin Sexton, Chris Paul and Victor Oladipo coming off a major injury and a mostly lost season.

Top Fantasy Waiver Pickups — Week 23 Mar 17, 2019

Show notes

Matt Stroup and Steve Alexander run through some of the top players to add to your rosters as we fly into crunch time of the fantasy playoffs. We discuss Jalen Brunson, Tyus Jones, Emmanuel Mudiay and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, while attempting to decide what to do with Monte Morris during a four-game week for Denver. Plus, why we finally fully trust Knicks guard Damyean Dotson, and the timely emergence of Jakob Poeltl for the Spurs. All that and more on this episode, and you can check out Steve's Waiver Wired column right here.

NBA DFS Podcast for Mar. 15 Mar 15, 2019

Show notes

There is a ton of value opening up from injuries and rest. James Harden is Mr. Chalk with Chris Paul out while several other Rockets get more opportunity. Plus, the Suns are also without their point guard due to a knee issue for Tyler Johnson, so there's some value to be had there.

The Lakers also don't have LeBron James for rest, which gets the South Bay Lakers more chances to produce. Reggie Jackson may also not play in that game either to open up even more value.

Even besides those two, there is still plenty of value to go around in what is one of the wilder Friday slates of the season.

Good luck!
