Dfsr's Daily Nba Podcast

DFSR crew of James Davis and Doug Norrie talk a Tuesday slate of basketball. At first blush, this one looks weird with eight of the slowest nine teams in basketball taking the court. We don’t love that in DFS because it means a significant pace down situation for about half of the slate.  But there is some potentially interesting value cropping up here. First off we have TJ McConnell and TJ Warren looking to see big minutes’ bumps on reduced salaries. Then you get guys like Wilson Chandler and Nikola Jokic who offer upside though they do come with risk.  And then the guys discuss Demarcus Cousins as the top big money option and likely the chalk play on the slate.  Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s a full Friday in the NBA and the DFSR crew of James Davis and Doug Norrie is here to bring you up to speed on all of the DFS implications for FanDuel and DraftKings. Things are a little weird with FanDuel offering a 4PM early only slate which includes the 7PM games as well.  Other than that odd scheduling, there is plenty of value especially with the Wiz in a great matchup with the Nets. The Wiz are in a usage upgrade among their starters especially if Bradley Beal sits.  Beyond that they discuss Giannis, Anthony Davis against the Knicks and Doug tilts off about how Denver uses their starters.  Learn more about your ad choices.

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis break down a 6 game NBA slate with some interesting considerations heading in. The first big question is whether you can play Russell Westbrook against a slow/ defensively elite team like the Grizzlies. That will be one of the biggest questions going into the night.  Then there’s injury concerns with Mike Conley and Goran Dragic which could effect lineups if they sit.  They also discuss Demar Derozan, Lebron James, Kevin Love and Hassan Whiteside as other possible big money plays.  Learn more about your ad choices.

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis break down a short, four game, NBA slate of games. It’s a somewhat rough grouping of games with teams like Memphis and the Jazz slowing things down in their games.  The big decision comes from deciding who to pay up for tonight, James Harden or Russell Westbrook. The latter is likely priced out of contention in a game against Miami though Dallas isn’t a fantastic matchup for Harden.  They also discuss the Jazz as solid plays against the Lakers. And finally they look at the weakest group of power forwards on FanDuel.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

DFSR crew breaks down a Tuesday slate in the NBA. The talk starts of course with the triple-double machine Russell Westbrook. Dude is such a difficult fade on any slate and the price is getting close to the breaking point.

DFSR's Doug Norrie and James Davis take a look at a full Friday in the NBA. The headlining act of course is Russell Westbrook vs. James Harden Part II. The first act didn't totally meet fantasy expectations with both players somewhat underperforming their fantasy value. Between the two, it appears Westbrook is the better play even at a higher price.  They also talk about some cheaper options like Jordan Clarkson, Marcus Smart and Tyler Johnson who could all be in line for major minutes.  Then there's Giannis coming in somewhat of a value play, Harrison Barnes still taking all of the shots in Dallas and what the hell is up with Hassan Whiteside.  Learn more about your ad choices.

DFSR's Doug Norrie and James Davis take a look at a six game Thursday NBA slate. They pretty much agree that the two chalk, higher-priced plays of John Wall and Anthony Davis are the way to go on both sites tonight. So many teams are in rough match ups that playing the high floors of Davis and Wall is likely the way to go.  They also discuss the pricing differences on Joel Embiid, the safety in Bradley Beal's minutes and whether the Jazz can hang with the Warriors tonight.    Learn more about your ad choices.

James and Doug are back talking about Tuesday's DFS NBA slate for FanDuel and DraftKings. It's a short (and weird) slate today, with a lot of cheap options but not a lot of places to spend up to get your value. The Heat are missing their shooting guards, the Sixers are sitting their big men, and a handful of teams are on a back to back. Could John Wall and Hassan Whiteside be 80% owned in cash games on FanDuel? The DFSR guys discuss it all. Plus, you'll get to hear why James says he has nothing in common with pretty much anyone, and his spot on impersonation of people who hate on greatness. Learn more about your ad choices.

DFSR's Doug Norrie and James Davis take a dive into the four game NBA slate for FanDuel and DraftKings.
