NBA DFS: Aaron’s DraftKings Team of the Night – 1/25/2016

NBA DFS: Matchups to Exploit 1/25/16

I am routinely an advocate for chasing the best matchups in daily fantasy sports. It’s pretty obvious to not target inexperienced quarterbacks playing in Seattle against the Seahawks or left handed batters facing Clayton Kershaw in a spacious ballpark.

NBA DFS: Matchups to Exploit 1/12/2016

Last night’s three game NBA DFS slate was ugly as predicted. Despite my proclamation that I would not be playing yesterday’s slate, I did end up with two separate entries into single entry GPPs. By the time lock was creeping up, enough value opened up to make roster construction slightly
