The NBA playoffs have hit their stride and there have been storylines abound. While there haven’t been any major upsets so far, there is still plenty of basketball to be played. We have 3 games on the schedule tonight as well as 4 games tomorrow so there is plenty of action available for fantasy basketball this weekend. Whether you play Draftstreet’s 2-day leagues or one day leagues on other sites, these picks should help you get a solid team together: (Read More)

Another week draws to a close with a couple of big qualifying events for the FanDuel and DraftStreet Baseball Championships. There are a lot of useful arms to choose from tonight, so the difference in these big contests will be efficient use of whatever portion of your cap you want to dedicate toward batters. That is, I’m expecting low scores around the majors on Friday night. Yeah, I’d be that guy at the book cheering for the under. I’m such a buzzkill. Let’s make picks. (Read More)

The playoffs are normally filled with great games, crazy competition, and game winnings shots, however this year the playoffs have taken on a different role. It’s more of a circus than anything else with all that has gone on. Injuries, suspensions, and punching glass have turned this years playoffs into more talk about the off court stuff than the actual games. But for us die hard fantasy nuts, we have to keep focused on the action on the court. We have some great picks for you today. These picks are based on Draftstreet’s 2-Day leagues and salaries: (Read More)

Light scheduling day with 5 day and 4 night games. No real aces going today except for Dan Haren but Haren has struggled in the past against Adam Lind, Kelly Johnson, Jose Bautista, and Edwin Encarnacion so I would label him a risky play to avoid. The Angels offense finally got rolling last night but still not much from Albert Pujols, for his price I would say he is almost a must play every day from here on out with the potential that he has. Unless you believe there is an injury in play. (Read More)

While last night wasn’t the best night for our picks, I did manage to win the qualifier for Draftstreet’s DSBC! While I think it took a whole lot of luck (a complete game shutout from Jerome Williams), I also would like to credit Rotogrinders for their amazing research tools. If you haven’t checked them out, be sure to visit the splits/lineups page each day to help build your team, they certainly make my job easier. But enough about me let’s get to the picks! Since the early game has already started, all of these picks will be for games that start at 6:35 ET or later. Tonight’s games are packed with great pitching so it is going to be hard to find good hitters tonight. (Read More)

This has been a pretty entertaining playoffs, but one thing I have noticed is that success one game doesn’t automatically mean success the next. Roy Hibbert came back down to earth after a huge game 1 and I expect to see similar results from guys like Reggie Evans and Nick Young who played above the first game of their series. Here are our plays for Wednesday night. (Read More)

Hey gang, welcome to RotoTalk. Every week (or so) I’ll be covering some daily fantasy strategy. Some days it will be focused specifically on a particular game format, but more often it will be general strategy that is applicable to all walks of daily fantasy life. Since I’ve been playing on Daily Joust a ton since MLB started, let’s take a closer at how field size should drive the profile of the players you select when playing in anything from a Solo contest all the way up to Tournaments with 100+ entrants.

There are three games in the NBA playoffs on Tuesday night and another three slated for Wednesday. Since the league’s you can play in(one or two day) depend on the site, I’ll be basing today’s picks for tonight’s games only and leaving tomorrow’s plays for the Daily Plays article on Wednesday. The Celtics and Hawks tip-off first tonight without Rajon Rondo in the Boston backcourt. The Bulls try and shake off the horrifying Derrick Rose injury in Game 2 against the 76ers. And the conclusion of the evening is another possible high-scoring game between the Nuggets and Lakers. (Read More)

Today is officially the start of May which means summer is almost here. We are lucky right now because we have daily fantasy MLB and NBA which couldn’t get any better if you play both sports. Before we get into today’s picks, here is a quick recap of yesterday’s and while we didn’t have Braun, we did have a few nice picks. Cargo, Rollins, and Ruiz all had nice games and closer Scott Downs came through with a big save. Today’s picks are based on Draftstreet’s salaries: (Read More)

Yesterday was a bit rough, although Matt Garza dominated the Phillies the other 3 starter recommendations were average at best. Pujols continues to do absolutely nothing and apparently Derek Lowe did not like being called out for sucking as he shut out the Angels yesterday. Angels face Nick Blackburn today and since most Angels have dropped in price today could be the day to stack them and win a big tourney if they finally produce. Lefty filled Monday from a starter standpoint. While you can’t go wrong starting C.J. Wilson or King Felix Hernandez, we will give you some cheaper starters to consider as well. (Read More)
