NHL FanDuel Lineup for Thursday January 14th, 2016

The limited action on the hardwood tonight has helped turn our attention to the ice. Tonight’s NHL lineup features a nine game lineup that gets underway at 7pm as the Vancover Canucks travel to the Nations Capital to take on the Washington Capitals. Along with the Canucks/Capitals game, we have seven additional games taking the ice to build our FanDuel lineup around.

For us the first game we our turning our attention to includes the Canucks and Capitals starting with Alexander Ovechkin. The Capitals star has been red hot over his last three games picking up five goals while finishing with at least 8.7 fantasy points.

Now the fantasy options don’t stop their from this matchup as the Capitals have been on of the hotter teams in all of the NHL. Other options we like include goaltender Braden Holtby or Philipp Grubauer depending on which of them will be in between the pipes. A few other options we like include T.J. Oshie, Evgeny Kuznetsov and Marcus Johansson.

Here is our NHL FanDuel lineup for Thursday January 14^th, 2016.

LW – Alexander Ovechkin ($9,700): The Capitals star is one of the easier plays tonight based on his current hot streak. Ovechkin has at least four points in six of his last eight games including three double digital fantasy performances.

LW – Kris Versteeg ($4,000): Since we elected to go with one of the most expensive options at the other left wing position we need to find a FanDuel bargain. That led us to Versteeg for the Carolina Hurricanes against the St. Louis Blues. Versteeg has been a solid option of late posting positive fantasy numbers in each of his last ten games as well as at least six three point fantasy numbers.

RW – Tomas Tater ($5,200): Tater is a solid option tonight as the Detroit Red Wings take on a Arizona Coyotes team that is one of three teams that are allowing over three goals a game this season.

RW – Kyle Palmieri ($4,600): Sticking with using FanDuel Bargains landed us with the New Jersey Devils right winger against the Colorado Avalanche. Entering this contest the Avalanche have allowed the sixth most goals per contest in the NHL on the year.

C – Adam Henrique ($4,100): Looking at the bottom of the options for tonights NHL contest made us look at the Devils center. Henrique is a gamble on most nights but he has the potential to post solid fantasy numbers at times including four games with at least 3.2 fantasy points over his last ten games.

C – Alexander Steen ($7,400): Steen is one of the top options at the center position tonight. The Blues center is a strong fantasy candidate after posting 6.9 fantasy points in his last contest as well as four additional games with at least 3.9 points over his last ten games.

D – Mike Green ($4,200): As we started to look at teams that are allowing the most goals this season that turned us to start looking at the Red Wings defenseman. Green at times in his career has been very good. Green despite being a gamble play tonight is well worth the chance.

D – Brent Burns ($7,200): Like Ovechkin, Burns is the top defenseman option tonight on the ice. The San Jose Sharks star has at least three fantasy points in eight straight games helping his FanDuel owners.

G – Semyon Varlamov ($8,400): Looking for goalies that are going up against a team that has struggled to score goals turned us to Varlamov. Varlamov will look to lead his Avalanche against a Red Wings team that has scored the second fewest amounts of goals in the NHL.

NBA FanDuel Lineup for Tuesday January 12th, 2016

The NBA action picks up on Tuesday Night allowing daily fantasy owners a little more flexibility to cash in on. In all eight games are taking to the hardwood floor tonight that features some of the NBA’s top FanDuel options.

A pair of those options our teammates as Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant look to lead their Oklahoma City Thunder to a road win against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Westbrook has been hot over the teams last two games turning in back to back games with at least 56 fantasy points. Meanwhile Durant continues to be consistent posting games of 51.9, 39.4 and 40.2 since missing a game back on January 4^th.

Now the top fantasy options don’t stop their tonight as LeBron James looks to lead his Cleveland Cavaliers over the Dallas Mavericks. Then you have the likes of James Harden, Andre Drummond, Paul George and Anthony Davis (monitor his injury status) all in action as well.

Along with the top options we also took a look at a few games that could deliver some FanDuel Bargains as well as some other top fantasy plays. One of those games features the San Antonio Spurs who will play a second straight game on the road tonight at Detroit. While we thought Greg Popovich could rest players last night and he didn’t, tonight marks another great night for the Spurs veterans to get a night off.

Add in the wear and tear that back to backs have on the veterans makes point guard Reggie Jackson a great play at the point guard position for the Pistons. You could also go with some of the cheaper options on the Spurs.

Here is our NBA FanDuel Lineup for Tuesday Janaury 12^th, 2016.

PG – Reggie Jackson ($7,400): While we loved Westbrook tonight against the Timberwolves we elected to spend a little cheaper at the point guard to spread out the wealth. Jackson should be a favorable play tonight against a Spurs team that could rest some of their veterans.

PG – Mario Chalmers ($5,000): The Memphis Grizzlies point guard continues to be a solid fantasy option sitting at just $5k. Chalmers has three straight games with at least 30 plus minutes while posting at least 20 fantasy points. Monitor his teammates injury concerns before going with Chalmers at this spot.

SG – Kobe Bryant ($7,000): While this play is strictly based on whether or not Bryant suits up tonight. Prior to getting the night off against the Utah Jazz, Bryant had turned in back to back 32 plus fantasy performances.

SG – Rodney Stuckey ($4,500): Looking for bargains we turned our attention to a few of the games we expect some high scoring point totals. One of those games features the Indiana Pacers taking on the Phoenix Suns. While Stuckey won’t deliver huge fantasy numbers he does provide around 20-22 fantasy points a night when healthy.

SF – Paul George ($9,000): The list of talent at the small forward position tonight is endless as you have George, James and Durant all taking to the hardwood. In the end we like the Pacers matchup with the fast paced Phoenix Suns team that is sure to allow for some additional fantasy points for George and his teammates.

SF – Nikola Mirotic ($5,500): We debated going real cheap at the shooting guard position but couldn’t pass up Mirotic tonight against the Milwaukee Bucks. Mirotic showed just he can put up big games including three 40 plus performances over his last ten games.

PF – Jared Sullinger ($5,500): Sullinger is a gamble play tonight as he continues to bounce around his production. If we go in his past five games, his trends point to him having a big game tonight for the Boston Celtics against the New York Knicks.

PF – Kristaps Porzingis ($6,300): The New York Knicks power forward should have an opportunity to put up some fantasy numbers against a fast paced Boston Celtics squad. The Knicks rookie has posted at least 32 points in there of the teams last four games as well as 38.4 fantasy points the last time these two teams met.

C – Andre Drummond ($9,000): We could have gone a few directions here but we elected to go with Drummond based on his matchup. While the Spurs might be one of the best teams in the NBA they will be playing on back to back nights and could rest some of their starters.

NBA FanDuel Lineup for Monday January 11th 2016

The Monday Morning Blues won’t keep us down for long as we look to cash in on FanDuel tonight. The only downside tonight is the limited amount of NBA games taking to the hardwood. In all only three contests will tip off tonight leaving us very little wiggle room to not only build our roster but to find some nice FanDuel bargains to build around.

Game 1 of the three tips off at 7:30pm ET as the San Antonio Spurs travel to Brooklyn to take on the Nets. This is a game that we suggest monitoring the lineups as the day progresses through. In the past we have seen Greg Popovich elect to rest some of his veterans, in return that would open the door for a chance to land some nice cheap options.

The second contest tips off just thirty minutes later as John Wall will lead his Washington Wizards into Chicago to take on Jimmy Butler and the Bulls. While Wall and Butler are the top options in this contest the game features a few other key options including Pau Gasol as a more expensive power forward option while Gary Neal provides us a solid option at just $3,900.

The final game of the night takes place on the west coast as the Golden State Warriors welcome the Miami Heat to Oakland. This contest is right where many fantasy owners will elect to build their roster around starting with Stephen Curry. Curry who had missed back to back games last week has returned to his old self posting three 40 plus fantasy performances over his last five games including 61.7 just a few nights ago against the Sacramento Kings.

Here is our NBA FanDuel lineup for Monday January 11^th, 2016.

PG – Stephen Curry ($10,800): At this point no one should be worried about Curry’s health. That being said we all have to worry about the team jumping out to a commanding lead leading to fewer minutes for Curry down the stretch. That being said, Curry is the top point guard option tonight taking the floor.

PG – Goran Dragic ($5,500): With the limited options available at the point guard position we elected to go with Dragic for the Heat. Dragic has been up and down over the past week turning in two games with under 20 fantasy points as well as two games with at least 35. If only we can get that Dragic to show up tonight against the Warriors.

SG – Gary Neal ($3,900): Neal has the potential to be a solid fantasy option for the money. As long as Bradley Beal is out for the Wizards, Neal should get 20-25 minutes a night. If those minutes tick upwards of 30 we should see a big time fantasy game from him.

SG – Jimmy Butler ($8,700): As we have said a few times we expect some scoring to come from tonight’s Bulls/Wizards matchup. That made Butler an easy play after seeing the Bulls shooting guard post at least 40 fantasy points in five straight games.

SF – Luol Deng ($4,200): Deng is sleeper option tonight for fantasy owners as we look to spend a few more dollars on a few other key players. That being said, Deng consistently gets above 27 minutes per game add in the fact they Heat are playing one of the faster teams in the league should open up additional scoring opportunities.

SF – Jared Dudley ($4,200): While John Wall is the top fantasy option for the Wizards we are taking our pick on a few FanDuel bargains in a game we expect some scoring to come out of.

PF – Pau Gasol ($8,700): Gasol is as easy of a choice at the power forward position as Curry is at the point guard position. Outside of his 23 point fantasy performance in the Bulls last game, Gasol had turned in three straight games with over 40 fantasy points as well as six in his last ten games.

PF – LaMarcus Aldridge ($7,100): After spending cheap at the small forward position we stacked the power forward position. We do recommend monitoring the lineups as the day moves along incase Popovich elects to rest some of his starters. If that is the case you could look at Thaddeus Young or move some cash around to put Chris Bosh in your lineup.

C – Marcin Gortat ($6,900): We had the salary to take Hassan Whiteside but his recent injury concerns have us worried on the amount of minutes he may see tonight against the Warriors. That turned us to Gortat who might not be as dominate but he has not posted less than 27 fantasy points over his last ten games.

NHL FanDuel Lineup for Monday January 11th 2016

The sports action around the country is limited and that includes on the ice as four contests headline the NHL schedule tonight. That being said that won’t stop any of us from looking to cash in on some FanDuel NHL action tonight.

The downside is their will be no Alexander Ovechin, Patrick Kane or even Jamie Benn on the ice to capitalize on. That being said we have a few options we really like as well as a few FanDuel bargains that we will look to use tonight to cash in on with our NHL FanDuel lineup.

Join FanDuel’s $10K Mon NHL Blue Line Today!

One of tonight’s NHL contests we are paying extra attention to is the San Jose Sharks verse the Calary Flames matchup. Entering tonight, the Flames have allowed the second highest goals per game in the NHL at 3.08 per contest. This opens the door for a few players on the Sharks who we expect to put together a good game.

One of those players is Joe Pavelski who is coming off a 9.4 fantasy performance after scoring a goal and an assist against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday. Pavelski has shown he has the abilities to be a solid fantasy contributor posting at least eight fantasy points in five of his last ten games while adding at least 2.7 fantasy points in two additional games.

Another option we like tonight is Roberto Luongo for the Florida Panthers in between the pipes. The Panthers goalie has been solid picking up wins in nine straight contests he has been between the pipes while posting at least four fantasy points in each of those contests.

Here is our NHL FanDuel Lineup for Monday January 11th 2016.

LW – Jonathan Huberdeau ($6,100): As we built our lineup we took a few looks at a few players around the board. In the end after spending cheaper at a few of the other positions we were able to go with a few of the more expensive options. Huberdeau is one of those options and is red hot posting at least 6.4 fantasy points in three straight games making him a must start for fantasy owners.

LW – Loui Eriksson ($4,700): Since we looked to spend on a few of the top fantasy options tonight, we needed to find a few FanDuel bargains who would deliver us some salary cap relief. One of those options is Eriksson for the Boston Bruins who has delivered at least three fantasy pints in five of his last ten games.

RW – Joe Pavelski ($8,200): We look at Pavelski as one of the top fantasy scoring options taking the ice tonight against a team that allows a ton of goals. Entering tonight, Pavelski has 21 goals and 19 assists on the season.

RW – Jaromir Jagr ($5,100): The Panthers veteran might not be as young as he once was but he has six goals over his last ten games. In that stretch, Jagr has posted four games with at least five fantasy points for his fantasy owners.

C – Joe Thornton ($4,900): We are looking to stack the deck tonight with members of the Sharks. Thornton much like his teammate Pavelski, has continued to turn in solid fantasy numbers including at least 3.8 fantasy points in nine of his last ten games while offering you salary cap relief at less than $5k.

C – Kevin Hayes ($4,200): Hayes is the type of low cost high reward option that could deliver us some big time fantasy results in tournament play. Coming off an impressive 7.9 fantasy performance we have elected to ride with the Rangers center tonight against the Bruins.

D – Aaron Ekblad ($4,900): Looking for some nice FanDuel Bargains we have turned to the defense position. Ekblad might not be one of the top fantasy scorers at the position he has however posted at least three fantasy points in five of his last nine games.

D – Brent Burns ($7,000): In the end we elected to go with the top fantasy option at the defensive position tonight. While it cost us $7k, Burns production is well worth the start. The Sharks defenseman has at least a goal or an assist in eight of this last ten games including six straight contests.

G – Roberto Luongo ($9,300): As many believe all good things must come to an end, we have elected to look past that and go with the hot hand of Luongo tonight as the Panthers look to keep their point streak alive. Luongo has not yielded less than four fantasy points in nine straight games.

Top NFL Fantasy Matchups per Position for January 16-17, 2016

The NFL Wild Card weekend is in the books as Daily Fantasy Owners start to look forward to the divisional round of the playoffs next weekend. This in most cases will be the final fantasy weekend of the year outside of building your fantasy lineup around just four teams.

For us, we will release our NFL FanDuel Lineup later in the week. That being said we have turned our attention early in the week to looking at the best fantasy matchups per position to help everyone build their lineup for the upcoming weekend.

The action will kick off on Saturday, as the Kansas City Chiefs will travel to New England to take on the Patriots at 4:35pm ET. In the second game the Green Bay Packers will travel to Arizona to take on the Cardinals. The rest of the action takes place on Sunday as the Seattle Seahawks will take on the Carolina Panthers in the early action while the Pittsburgh Steelers will travel to Denver to take on the Broncos.

Now the big question this weekend is which of these eight quarterbacks are going to put together the best game for their fantasy owners. This comes just one week after a disappointing week for quarterbacks including Ben Roethlisberger (13.16 fantasy points), Alex Smith (13.3 fantasy points) and Russell Wilson (10.78 fantasy points). Of the four winning teams, Aaron Rodgers put together the best game of the weekend finishing with 18.3 against the Washington Redskins.

As we start to look at each of these quarterback matchups the first player we turned our attention to is the Arizona Cardinals starter Carson Palmer. Palmer will get a shot at a Green Bay Packers team that allowed Kirk Cousins to throw for 329 yards, one passing touchdown and one rushing touchdown last weekend. Outside of Palmer we also like Tom Brady and Alex Smith who will face off at Gillette Stadium.

Here is a look at our top fantasy matchups per position for next weekend.

Running Backs

David Johnson, Arizona Cardinals: Johnson is going to cost you a little bit this weekend but we like his rematch potential against the Packers. The Cardinals running back finished with 20.2 fantasy points including a rushing touchdown in week 16 in the teams win against the Packers.

Spencer Ware, Kansas City Chiefs: Ware is slowly becoming a viable fantasy option after posting touchdowns in each of the Chiefs past two games. While his matchup against the Patriots will be a little more challenging we expect that Andy Reid will continue to work him into the passing game.

Ronnie Hillman, Denver Broncos: The Steelers/Broncos matchup might be one of the best fantasy matchups in general. That being said we expect the Steelers to focus on shutting down Peyton Manning allowing the Broncos running game to put some solid numbers up.

Wide Receivers:

Antonio Brown, Pittsburgh Steelers: Yes before you say it we may be crazy but the reports are indicating that Brown will play this weekend. If that is the case Brown will be expensive but a great option against a Broncos team he scorched in the regular season for nearly 40 fantasy points.

John Brown, Arizona Cardinals: We love both Brown and Larry Fitzgerald this weekend but we have turned our attention to Brown. The Cardinals wide receiver pulled in a touchdown the last time these two teams met, as well as Fitzgerald. Look for the pair to continue their success this weekend

Devin Funchess, Carolina Panthers: Entering this weekend the Seahawks main plan is to take away the Panthers deep threat in Ted Ginn Jr. While we don’t expect a ton of scoring in this contest, but we do however expect Cam Newton to find the end zone through the air.

Keshawn Martin, New England Patriots: With all of the injury concerns with the Patriots passing attack, it leaves us only a few options with Martin being one of them. Martin is a deep fantasy sleeper but with Tom Brady behind center anything could happen. We also like the idea of Edelman if the wide receiver is healthy enough to suit up this weekend.

Tight Ends:

Rob Gronkowski, New England Patriots: The easiest of the tight end targets is the Patriots. While we love him we expect him to be used in a high percentage of fantasy leagues making him a difficult option to cash in on. That being said if you are playing in 50/50 leagues he would be a very safe option.

Owen Daniels, Denver Broncos: While Daniels wasn’t a key target for Brock Osweiler he should be a favorable option for Peyton Manning this weekend. Manning has shown in his career he likes to work his tight end into his offense something that showed up with Julius Thomas production last season.

Kickers/Defenses:

Chandler Catanzaro, Arizona Cardinals: We looked at the games we expect to be high scoring contests. That lead us to Catanzaro for the Cardinals in a game we expect some points to be scored in. The other option we like is Brandon McManus for the Broncos against the Steelers.

Carolina Panthers: Of all eight of the teams in action we really like the Panthers as well as the Seahawks in this matchup. The Panthers have posted at least nine fantasy points in six of his last seven games.

NFL FanDuel Lineup For January 9-10, 2016

The march to Super Bowl 50 continues this weekend as Wild Card Weekend gets started on Saturday giving fantasy owners another week to cash in on FanDuel. For FanDuel owners the only difference from last week to this week is the limited amount of teams to build your roster from.

The NFL action gets underway later this afternoon as the Kansas City Chiefs head to take on the Houston Texans. That game will be followed by an AFC North battle as the Pittsburgh Steelers travel to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals. On Sunday the NFC round of Wild Card Weekend takes place as the Seattle Seahawks travel to Minnesota to take on the Vikings in the first game followed the Green Bay Packers traveling to take on the Washington Redskins.

That being said we started building our FanDuel roster by looking at the eight quarterbacks taking the field. For us two quarterbacks we decided to stay away from was Teddy Bridewater (cold temperatures should force both teams to run) and Brian Hoyer (injury concerns). Along with Bridgewater we are also afraid to use Russell Wilson despite his strong second half with much of it due to the temperature set to be at around zero degrees with the wind chill in the negatives.

As we look a little deeper Ben Roethlisberger looks to be a bad play this weekend as well after putting together two disappointing performances against the Bengals during the regular season. The Steelers quarterback posted 11.48 points in their first meeting and 10.88 points in their second meeting. That being said the team will be without both DeAngelo Williams and Le’Veon Bell.

Here is our NFL FanDuel lineup for Wild Card Weekend kicking off on January 9^th, 2016.

QB – Kirk Cousins ($8,000): In the end we felt comfortable going with either Cousins or Aaron Rodgers in this matchup. Cousins is currently riding four straight games with at least 19 fantasy points including two of those games with at least 32 fantasy points.

RB – Alfred Morris ($5,500): For us this matchup looks like the best potential for a high scoring contest making a few possible fantasy plays from both of these teams. That being said we elected to go with Morris against the Green Bay Packers as we expect their defense to look to slow down Cousins.

RB – Spencer Ware ($5,400): Outside of Peterson the running back position is a toss up between all the options available. That being said we elected to go with a sleeper option with Ware over his teammate Charcandrick West.

WR – Antonio Brown ($9,500): Despite the struggles of Roethlisberger against the Bengals this season Brown still managed to post double digit fantasy numbers in both of those games.

WR – DeAndre Hopkins ($8,800): In the end we elected to go with a few of the top wide receivers around the NFL to build our roster with. We elected to go with Brown and Hopkins but we could have flipped A.J. Green in for either of those two.

WR – Marvin Jones ($5,500): While Green looks like the favorable play based on his success against the Steelers during the regular season. We elected to go against him with his teammate Jones to save cap space while expecting the Steelers to focus on shutting down Green this weekend opening up the chances for the other Bengals wide receivers.

TE – Jordan Reed ($7,400): Reed was an easy decision at the tight end position after electing to go with his quarterback. If we had gone with Rodgers we would have went with his tight end Richard Rodgers. Reed prior to last week had three 22 plus fantasy performances over a three game stretch with five total touchdowns.

K – Carlos Santos ($4,800): Looking at a few of the weather conditions around the country landed us with Santos. Santos and the Chiefs will take on the Texans inside a dome giving both of the kickers in this game an ideal climate to kick in.

Def – Seattle Seahawks ($5,100): While we have to worry about Adrian Peterson having a big game, we still liked the Seahawks in this matchup. We don’t expect either team to be throwing the ball a lot due to the cold weather leaving each team to stop the run.

NBA FanDuel Lineup for Thursday January 7th, 2016

The NBA action on the hardwood tonight is limited but that won’t slow us down on FanDuel. In all only four games are taking to the hardwood tonight for daily fantasy owners to cash in. Those contests feature the Atlanta Hawks heading to Philadelphia to take on the 76ers, the Utah Jazz heading to Houston to take on the Rockets, the Boston Celtics traveling to Chicago to take on the Bulls while the Los Angeles Lakers clash with the Sacramento Kings to wrap up the action.

That being said with the light slate of games to build from it leaves us very few top fantasy options to go with. Two of those options feature DeMarcus Cousins going up against the Lakers while James Harden will look to lead the Rockets to a win at home over the Jazz. One option is to stack the two together and ride with a few cheaper options. While that option is one that we have considered going with but at the moment we are leaning on using just one of those options.

For us the key to building that winning lineup tonight is to start by looking at what Las Vegas thinks of each of these teams. Currently the three teams Vegas likes tonight is the Hawks (projected for 106.75 points), the Bulls (projected 104 points) and the Rockets (projected for 103.75). The only game not projected tonight with an over/under line on most sites is the Lakers/Kings matchup.

This leaves us a few very solid top end picks with the likes of Jimmy Butler, Paul Millsap and even Harden. This also leaves us with a few bargain types to build with as well including someone like Ken Bazemore who will only cost you $5,700 against a very bad team.

Other bargains we like around the NBA tonight include Ishmael Smith (little higher than the $5k mark we like but he has posted three 40 plus performances over his last five games), Darren Collison (if Rondo is out of the lineup tonight) and Rodney Hood (posted 34.7 fantasy points against the Rockets just a few nights ago).

Here is our NBA FanDuel lineup for Thursday January 7^th, 2016.

PG – Ishmael Smith ($6,100): While Smith is a gamble type of play tonight he has shown his ability to post big time fantasy performances. Add in the fact both of these teams rank in the top 12 in pace of play around the NBA and some fantasy points should be scored tonight.

PG – Isaiah Thomas ($8,100): With Rondo in question tonight for the Kings, Thomas should be a very high play at the point guard position. The Celtics point guard is riding at least 34 fantasy points in five straight games as well as at least 30 fantasy points in nine of his last ten games.

SG – Marco Belinelli ($4,300): Sticking with another FanDuel Bargain type player has landed us with the Kings shooting guard. Belinelli has four straight solid fantasy performances including two of those games with over 30 fantasy points with the other two cover at least 23. While the 30 points would be great if we can get the 23 plus at just a little over the $4k mark makes him a steal tonight.

SG – Jimmy Butler ($8,500): Yes we went cheap at the other shooting guard position but we couldn’t resist going with Butler. We debated using Bazemore and you could at the other shooting guard position we just liked the more expensive play here in a game that should be fast paced on both sides.

SF – Thabo Sefolosha ($4,000): For us this play is more about getting Pau Gasol into our lineup tonight against the Celtics. Add in the fact the Hawks could decide to rest a few of their normal starters and Sefolosha’s fantasy value increases. While it’s a gamble we like the Hawks small forwards potential against the 76ers tonight.

SF – Nikola Mirotic ($4,800): While we would have loved to been able to go with a more expensive play here we just didn’t have the cap room. A few options including goin with Collison if Rondo is out would free up the cap space to go with Rudy Gay against the Lakers in place of Sefolosha and stick with Mirotic against the Celtics.

PF – Pau Gasol ($8,900): For us we loaded up with the Bulls tonight against the Celtics in a game that should be high scoring and very fast pace. That being said the fast pace that both teams like to play should allow for Gasol to get a few extra rebounds making him one of the top fantasy options tonight.

PF – Larry Nance Jr ($4,300): Nance is a great bargain tonight and while we left him off our list up top we do like his matchup against a Kings team that ranks number one in the NBA in pace of play. The Lakers have played three straight teams that have ranked in the top six in the NBA in pace of play, Nance has posted at least 21 fantasy points picking up at least seven rebounds in each contest.

C – DeMarcus Cousins ($10,400): The price tag is steep on the Kings center tonight but he should continue his recent surge against a bad Lakers team. Cousins is currently riding back to back 60 plus fantasy performances. Add in the fact that both of these teams have the tendancy to move the ball up and down the court should give Cousins a chance to dominate the glass. On the other end we suggest monitoring the lineups incase the Kings decide to rest him tonight against the Lakers.

As always monitor the NBA Lineups and if you see a top named star land his name on the inactive list, look to capitalize on a cheap play with the pick.

Top 5 NHL Fantasy Sleepers for January 2016

January has become a make-or-break month for NHL teams in previous seasons – it’s where coaches and fans can get a strong idea of whether their players are going to hack it in the post-season. Because of that, it’s also become a month where guys who have been quiet or invisible all season can lead their teams to the playoffs. Here’s a list of five NHL players who have the potential – based on position, team, and history – to be huge for their teams and produce a bunch of fantasy points.

Sam Bennet – Calgary Flames

Bennet and the Flames sit in the middle of an already red-hot wild card race in the West. And Bennet’s play has been less than what his team needs so far this year. He’s -2 on the season but even with that, he’s managed to tally 5 goals and 9 assists. He’s a young player that doesn’t really have any experience making an NHL playoff run, but it’s absolutely possible that he can show up for his team in a big way. Maybe he’ll get a lift from his teammates, or maybe he’ll get his NHL legs under him. Either way, Bennet is in a prime spot to make something happen for himself and his team, and you can use that to your advantage.

Travis Zajac – New Jersey Devils

Zajac is back on the ice after a few injury problems and he’s in a position where he can’t take it easy. He’s had decent numbers so far this year with 6 goals and 12 assists, but let’s remember that New Jersey needs him to be a strong influence on their top line. They are currently holding on to a playoff spot in the East but that can change quickly, especially if Zajac doesn’t become consistent. His numbers from previous seasons, coupled with his experience on the ice lead me to believe that he will be showing up very soon. Add him to your team while you can.

Blake Comeau – Colorado Avalanche

Comeau’s turned out to be the influence Colorado needed on their middle to lower lines, and he’s only looking to get better as the season heats up. With 6 goals and 9 assists on the season, he hasn’t been astounding, but he hasn’t been a wash either. Last year he had 16 goals with the Pittsburgh Penguinsand as the Avs push for a playoff spot, he’ll be looking to reach or exceed that number. With his time in the league and history of consistent improvement, I’d say you can comfortably add him to your lineup.

Tanner Pearson – Los Angeles Kings

The Los Angeles Kings are currently number one in the Pacific with a comfortable lead in the points, but eventually the teams behind them are going to turn into a pack of wild dogs with a taste for blood. That’s where Tanner Pearson comes in, with a chance to shine and keep his team on top. He currently has 6 goals and 13 assists on the season, so like Blake Comeau, he hasn’t been a huge goal scorer. But he’s managed to put up consistent fantasy points every game this season and can be had for a decent price as a #2 or #3 left wing.

Antoine Vermette – Arizona Coyotes

Vermette’s daily fantasy price is currently a steal because his season hasn’t been great – he’s -9 overall. But it can be argued that he’s undervalued, especially when it comes to the production he’s had in the past. He won the Stanley Cup last year on a short stint with Chicago, but before that he put up solid point production and he has the experience to lead Arizona into the playoffs. But of course, the only thing that matters is what he does every game night. With his experience, he knows when to up his effort and push harder, which means you can get him now and follow him to the top when he goes.

NBA FanDuel Lineup for Tuesday January 5th 2016

Stephen Curry, DeMarcus Cousins will look to carry the load tonight for FanDuel owners as two of the top fantasy plays of the night. Curry who has been down the past three games due to be injured missed back to back games before playing just 14 minutes just two games ago returned to the floor last night against the Charlotte Hornets.

The Golden State Warriors point guard finished with 30 points to go with three rebounds, four assists and two steals. Tonight the Warriors head to Los Angeles to take on the Lakers in a game that Curry should be able to put together another big night. That being said we strongly suggest monitoring the basketball news throughout the day incase the team elects to rest Curry tonight against one of the NBA’s worst ranked team.

Than you have Cousins who many fantasy owners considered avoiding yesterday against the Oklahoma City Thunder based on his last performance against them. In the end Cousins rewarded fantasy owners with a 60.3 point performance finishing with 33 points and 19 rebounds. Cousins will lead his Kings tonight into Dallas to take on the Mavericks.

Overall FanDuel owners have a four game slate to build from with the other two games featuring the Milwaukee Bucks heading to Chicago to take on the Bulls and the New York Knicks heading to Atlanta to take on the Hawks.

Here is our NBA FanDuel lineup for Tuesday January 5^th, 2015.

PG – Rajon Rondo ($7,800): Coming off an impressive 58.3 point performance on Monday Night, we expect Rondo to look to continue his success against a Mavericks team he spent time with last season. Rondo has posted at least 30 fantasy points in five of his last six games.

PG – Jose Juan Barea ($4,600): While we could have very easily gone with Curry tonight we elected to stay away from him since we made this lineup to early in the day to determine if he would play. That being said we went with a bargain option tonight to allow us to spread the wealth around to other positions.

SG – Jimmy Butler ($8,300): Since we stayed some what cheap at the point guard position we elected to go with the top two shooting guards on the board tonight. The Chicago Bulls shooting guard is coming off an impressive 40 point second half in his last outing.

SG – Klay Thompson ($7,600): Thompson is riding a three game stretch that has rewarded FanDuel owners. In that stretch, Thompson has posted at least 40 fantasy points in each contest. We expect that to continue tonight against the Lakers in a game the team could rest Curry after having a game last night.

SF – Andre Iguodala ($4,900): The Warriors small forward is another one of those bargain type players that could turn in a big game tonight. Honestly we could have gone with 3-4 players from tonight’s Lakers/Warriors game but stuck with just two.

SF – Carmelo Anthony ($8,600): Anthony is one of the top fantasy options tonight at the small forward position. While we haven’t seen many 40 plus performances from Anthony he has been consistent posting at least 30 fantasy points in seven of the last eight games he has played in.

PF – Jabari Parker ($4,400): Since we elected to go expensive with Pau Gasol tonight we had to go with a bargain as well. While Parker has been up and down for most of the season he is coming off a solid 30 plus fantasy performance in his last outing.

PF – Pau Gasol ($8,700): The Bulls power forward might not be the top option tonight he is though a solid option against the Milwaukee Bucks. Gasol has posted at least 40 fantasy points in four of his last six games as well as at least 30 plus fantasy points in eight of his last nine contests.

C – Robin Lopez ($4,100): One option for us was to go with Cousins against the Mavericks. If you like that play we could go with another bargain at the shooting guard position as well as a little cheaper at the small forward position. In the end Lopez is a solid fantasy play at a very cheap price point.

NBA FanDuel Lineup for Monday January 4th 2016

The FanDuel action heats up on Monday Night as the NBA takes center stage with the NFL regular season in the books. In all 20 NBA teams are in action giving us a handful of solid fantasy options to build around. One player we will avoid is Stephen Curry who is currently battling a shin injury.

While it is hard to imagine us telling you to stay away from Curry, but after missing back to back games, Curry managed to play only 14 minutes last night before reinjuring the shin. On the other hand you might not have to pick against Curry if news breaks later today that he will miss the Golden State Warriors contest with the Charlotte Hornets tonight.

Now before any gets down on Curry, the NBA lineup still delivers a bunch of top fantasy options including Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant. Add in the fact the teammates will lead their Oklahoma City Thunder team against a Sacramento Kings team that ranks first in the NBA in pace of play makes them both a great option tonight.

A few of the other top fantasy options include LeBron James, James Harden and DeMarcus Cousins. That being said here is our NBA FanDuel Lineup for Monday January 4^th, 2015.

PG – Russell Westbrook ($10,700): Yes Westbrook supports the second highest salary of the night. That being said we have all heard the phrase you get what you pay for. That is the case with Westbrook who has turned in five fifty plus fantasy performances over his last seven games as well as two additional games with at least 46 fantasy points.

PG – Shane Larkin ($4,500): With Jarrett Jack out for the remainder of the season, Larkin is inline to take over the starting point guard duties for the Brooklyn Nets. While Larkin is a question mark he should be able to put together a solid stat line against a Boston Celtics team that likes to move the ball up and down the court.

SG – Evan Fournier ($5,300): We are tossed up between Fournier and Victor Oladipo Tonight against the Detroit Pistons. In the end Fournier has been more consisten of late turning in three 30 plus fantasy points as well as four additional games with at least 25 fantasy points over his last ten games

SG – Gerald Green ($3,800): Green is one of those sleeper type options tonight as the Miami Heat take on the Indiana Pacers. Add in the fact that the Heat will be playing a second straight game makes Green a solid option to continue to play above 25 minutes. We could have also gone with Klay Thompson with this pick and went cheaper at one of the other positions.

SF – Evan Turner ($5,400): The Boston Celtics small forward is a solid option tonight against a Brooklyn Nets team that is allowing the most fantasy points to opposing small forwards on the season. Turner is also currently riding a four game stretch with at least 20 fantasy points while getting at least 27 minutes in three of those four games.

SF – Kevin Durant ($9,900): Like we said up above with Westbrook the Thunder are a great team to build around tonight against the leagues top fast pace team in the NBA. Durant has turned in at least 45 fantasy points in four of the teams last five games. We could go cheaper with this pick and go with someone like Kawhil Leonard or expensive with someone like James and be very happy with the play.

PF – Tristan Thompson ($4,600): As long as Thompson continues to get 25 plus minutes on most nights while he salary sticks to under $5k he is a solid fantasy option. Thompson has turned in back to back games with at least 21 fantasy points while turning in five of those games over his last eight games.

PF – Nerlens Noel ($6,300): We tossed around a few names here including going a little more expensive with someone like Chris Bosh or LaMarcus Aldridge. In the end we elected to save on Noel who has shown his ability to post some solid fantasy nights for his FanDuel owners.

C – Andre Drummond ($9,300): Now we could have gone cheaper than Noel at the power forward position to allow us to use Cousins against the Thunder. In the end we like Drummonds matchup against the Orlando Magic more than we do Cousins against a Thunder team that he finished with less than 30 fantasy points against the last time they faced off.
