Daily Fantasy Sports Handicapping

Only 3 NBA games today.  We are playing 2 ten team tournaments with our fantasy basketball tournament roster.  The structure is a 7 player, 200 point cap game on FSL.

We have a low cap of 200 points today, so we have to find a couple of bargains.  At forward, I’m going to give Al Thornton ($16) a shot.  He had one of his worst games last time out, but hopefully it was just an off night.  At the other forward spots I’m going with Nowitzki ($36) and Corey Maggette ($30).  Nowitzki should have a big game and Maggette should be the primary scoring option with Tim Thomas still out.

At Guard, I’m taking the top of the board in Chris Paul ($37).  I’m hoping Paul can have a big night to compensate for some of our other weak roster spots.  Andre Miller ($27) and Andre Iguodala ($32) get the other two spots.  Keep riding them until they are out of the playoff race.

Put Mehmet Okur ($21) at center.  Okur is risky, but he has put up two big lines in his last two games.  We just don’t have enough money today to get anything better.

Playing 2 ten team tournaments with our fantasy basketball betting roster.  7 player, 210 point cap on FSL.

At guard, I’m going with T. McGrady ($32), Michael Redd ($31) and Manu Ginobili ($31). 

At forward it’s Nowitzki ($36), Duncan ($35) and Bargnani ($14).  Barganani should get good minutes with Bosh out, but I suspect many other teams will start him also.

Put Camby ($31) at center.

Maybe today we will get to play longer than 9 minutes.  I’m playing 2 ten team tournaments with our contest roster.  7 player, 210 point cap on FSL.

Starting it off with Amare Stoudemire ($36) at Center.  It was a toss-up between Howard and Stoudemire, but I like Amare’s matchup a little better.

At forward let’s go with Tim Duncan ($35) at one forward.  Duncan has been playing well and should keep it rolling.  Carlos Boozer ($35) gets a forward spot, although I’m not really comfortable with the selection.  I haven’t seen any reports on him having a health problem, so I’ll just chalk last night’s 16 FP performance up to a bad night.  Hakim Warrick ($14) gets the last forward spot.  Hakim saw some time on the bench, but still put up 20FP on Friday.  I’ll take that again today.

Andre Miller ($27) gets a guard spot.  Average night for Miller last night, but he has another good matchup today and is good value for only $27.  Manu Ginobili ($31) gets a guard spot.  Let’s see if he can come up with one of his big games at Milwaukee.  The last spot goes to Michael Redd ($31).  He has been shooting well lately, so let’s hope his has his stroke in this one.

Our team is registered for 2 ten team tournaments today on FSL.  7 player, 220 point cap structure.

Putting Gasol ($31) at center.  Not many options at center today and Gasol is the best of the bunch.

I’m playing Hakim Warrick ($14) at one forward spot.  If he can give us 22-24FP, I’ll be happy.  Dirk Nowitzki ($36) gets a forward spot and Chris Bosh ($35) gets the last forward spot.  Bosh was a questionable call here as I could have gone with Garnett, Boozer, Al Jefferson or Anthony.  Jefferson’s matchup was bad, Boozer has a road game, Garnett may not get 35 minutes, and Anthony may or may not have a shoulder problem.  I’m going the safe route with Bosh.

At guard, I’m going with the red hot Andre Miller ($27), Allen Iverson ($38) and Baron Davis ($38).  Iverson gets a nice home game v. a soft LAC team and Baron will get big minutes in what could be a high scoring game in Philly.

I have signed up for 2 separate ten team tournaments on FSL, but I’m not sure that both will fill on such a thin NBA day.  We are playing a 7 player, 200 point cap game with the roster.

It all depends on the center position today.  Either go expensive with Gasol at $31 or cheap with Blount at $13.  I’m going with Blount.  Hopefully, he gets his 30 minutes and can put up 20-23FP.

Stick with Vince Carter ($32) at one guard.  He is running the team and will continue to get good minutes until it becomes clear that NJ won’t make the playoffs.  Michael Redd ($31) gets a guard spot.  Manu Ginobili ($31) gets the last guard spot.  I didn’t have enough money to get D. Wade and Manu was the best thing left on the board today. 

I’m going with Richard Jefferson ($30) at one forward spot.  Ride him while he is hot.  Tim Duncan ($35) gets the second forward spot.  It was a tough decision between Duncan and Nowitzki, but the game being in San Antonio pushed me to choose Duncan.  Also, I don’t think either will have a big scoring night, and Duncan is the better bet to still put up good FP without the scoring category.  Lamar Odom ($27) gets the last forward spot.  The cap was low today and he was all I could afford.  I’ll be happy with an average 27FP night.
