Dfsr's Daily Nba Podcast

It’s another DFSR solo podcast with Doug Norrie breaking down a three game NBA slate for FanDuel and DraftKings. Even with such a short Valentine’s Day slate there’s plenty to discuss. Some injury news we’ll want to check in on throughout the day starts with whether the Bulls will sit both Jimmy Butler and Dwayne Wade again. If so, then Michael Carter-Williams should see plenty of minutes though it’s less clear about the rest of the team.  There’s also the Cavs without Kevin Love tonight and Doug talks about how that effects the rest of the team, specifically Lebron James, Kyrie Irving and Channing Frye.  And finally, it’s a Boogie Nights (thanks FanDuel) evening with Demarcus Cousins likely coming in as the chalk play against the Lakers. All that and more on the DFSR NBA Podcast.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

DFSR’s Doug Norrie takes to a solo, on-the-road NBA podcast to discuss a huge Monday in the NBA. There’s a ton to break down with some cheaper values already creeping to the forefront this early in the day.  Some of the more relevant games include a Sixer-Charlotte affair with Nerlens Noel coming in at a great price considering Philly’s without Embiid and Okafor. On the Charlotte side you could see another start from Frank Kaminsky and Kemba Walker is coming cheap on FanDuel thanks to some recent rough shooting.  The Pelicans and Suns should play in a fast-paced game with Anthony Davis (eep) as the top big money value target tonight if you can stomach the nightly injury risk.  All of this and much more for a big night in the NBA.  Learn more about your ad choices.

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take a look at a five game NBA slate for FanDuel and DraftKings. The big news here is the Cavs likely sitting their big three in Lebron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. That leaves Cleveland incredibly thin across the board and we could see steady doses of most of the cheap Cavs’ players. This will be the piece of news to monitor as we get closer to lineup lock.  After that we can likely safely get big money in on Russell Westbrook and James Harden because the punt situation should be robust.  They also talk about the Orlando Magic possibly without Aaron Gordon and how that would effect the Orlando starters.  Then they finish off with some NoHalftime challenges.  Learn more about your ad choices.

DFSR’s Doug Norrie takes to a solo podcast to break down a huge 12 game NBA slate for FanDuel and DraftKings. Tons to dissect here with almost every NBA team running tonight.  He breaks it down game by game spending a bit more time with teams like the Wizards facing the lowly Brooklyn Nets. John Wall, Brad Beal, Markieff Morris and Otto Porter all make for strong cash game plays. There’s also the Cavs who could be without Iman Shumpert tonight and the Pistons squaring up against a fast-pace/ no defense team like the Lakers.  He also talks about the Nuggets’ injury situation and who could emerge for them tonight as well as the question marks around the Warriors/ Bulls game.  It’s all there and more for a big Wednesday in the NBA.  Learn more about your ad choices.

DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take a look at an interesting three game slate in the NBA. Sometimes these small slates can get a little tricky but this one looks packed with value. A lot of that comes from the Hornets getting to face the Nets who of course are the team we always want to target against in DFS. Playing four Hornets is totally in play with Kemba Walker and Nic Batum likely coming in as chalk.  James Harden is another chalk play against the Magic though we do need to worry some about the blowout there. The guys also discuss the state of Orlando and how they’ve redistributed minutes in the short term.  And finally they talk about the Mavs against the Blazers and whether Yogi Ferrell is still a popular play tonight.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The same can be said for the Mavericks against the Blazers.  They also break down some of the bigger money guys like James Harden against the Bulls and Russell Westbrook who’s coming in under price against the Grizzlies.  It’s all there and more for a full Friday slate of NBA DFS.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Every game has a -8 or higher line heading in and that definitely causes some concern with players not seeing fourth quarters if the games are getting out of hand.  They talk about James Harden and how he’s likely the chalk play going in. There’s also discussion of the Wizards and how the team’s commitment to playing starters major minutes has led to price increases across the board.  All that and more for your NBA DFS needs.  Learn more about your ad choices.

DFSR’s Doug Norrie breaks down a full slate of NBA action for Wednesday with twelve games on the docket. Ton’s to dissect here with some injury news already known. Dear Derozan will sit again making Kyle Lowry and Norman Powell fantastic values for the relative usage and minutes increases they’ll see against the Celtics.  We also know Kevin Love will sit tonight which will leave a decision on whether we can pay more than $11K for Lebron here. It’s close and Doug dives into his thought process on that one.  He also talks about the Knicks and how to evaluate that team with guys like Derrick Rose and Kristaps Porzingis questionable. It could open the door for Carmelo Anthony, Brandon Jennings and even Wily Hernangomez.  All of that and more on a full day of NBA action for FanDuel and DraftKings.  Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s a full day of DFS talk here with a solid basketball slate. The show starts with a solo-pod style NBA breakdown. DFSR’s James Davis is off speaking in front of the New Hampshire Senate on a proposed DFS bill there leaving Doug Norrie t break down the NBA action. He talks about the big money guys like James Harden in a slower matchup against the Kings and Russell Westbrook with a bad matchup against the Spurs. That leaves us possibly stomaching Anthony Davis who’s always an injury waiting to happen.  Doug looks at each game, the injury news out there and some of the DFS value he’s seeing with guys like Kenneth Faried, Tarik Black and even Evan Turner on the cheaper side of things.  He also talks about the Charlotte Hornets’ backcourt facing the Blazers.  Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s a Monday solo NBA pod with Doug Norrie as he breaks down the action for a 5-game slate. The big injury news today is Kevin Love sitting and how that effects the rest of the Cavs’ usage and opportunity. It stands to reason Lebron James is a chalk play on this slate and Kyrie irving definitely sees a usage bump as well. We will likely have to wait and see on who starts in Love’s place but Channing Frye would be an interesting punt if he saw significant minutes with Lebron.  The Heat are in a great matchup against the Nets and Goran Dragic is probably a chalk play on this slate along with Dion Waiters.  There’s also talk about the Celtics, Grizzlies and more. 

It’s another DFSR NBA solo podcast today with Doug Norrie talking a very uncertain slate of Friday NBA action. As of the time of the recording, half of the games didn’t have Vegas lines as we wait for a bunch of injury news to flush out.  Doug goes game-by-game and breaks down things to look out for and who would stand to see increased value in injury situations. It’s a tough nut to crack this early in the day as we are waiting on news about Joel Embiid, Demar Derozan, Kawhi Leonard and Hassan Whiteside just to name a few.  There’s also talk about some of the safer plays like Kemba Walker, Nic Batum and how the Magic look tonight against the Celtics.  Then at the 37:25 mark Doug jumps on with Blake Pender, the founder of LineupLab and DFSR’s partner and CTO. They discuss the process for creating new DFS products, how to use the PlayerLab tools and what to look forward to coming down the DFSR pike.  Learn more about your ad choices.

First he looks back at some of the injury concerns from last night with guys like Anthony Davis and Hassan Whiteside both exiting early and crushing some lineups.  He then goes into the Dallas injury issues for today with Dirk Nowitzki, Wes Matthews and Deron Williams already ruled out. That opens the door for Seth Curry, Harrison Barnes and possibly Pierre Jackson logging heavy minutes. Really all of the healthy Mavs are in play to some extent.  Other talk includes paying up for Westbrook, and how to evaluate the minutes for guys like Nikola Jokic and the rest of the Nuggets’ team.  Then at the 27:30 mark Chris Durell jumps on the line to talk tonight’s huge slate of NHL action right before the All-Star Break.

The DFSR crew of James Davis and Doug Norrie talk a five game slate of NBA action. This one is a tricky one with two of the five games coming in as potential blowouts. Both the Cavs and Spurs opened at -12.5 favorites over the Suns and Nuggets respectively.  They discuss how Chris Paul’s injury opens up a ton of minutes for Austin Rivers and Raymond Felton at point guard. They also discuss Roddick and Jamal Crawford in that back court as well.  Then they weight the safety in a guy like Carmelo Anthony coming off a bad night against the Celtics.  The power forward and center positions look particularly thin with most of the big money and even value guys coming in with question marks.

Coming off a crazy holiday slate of Monday basketball, things look to stabilize a bit in the NBA tonight as we get back to our normal main slate start times.  The guys talk about how the Nets are playing tonight which likely means once again loading up on Raptors like Kyle Lowry, Demar Derozan and Demarre Carroll. They also discuss the Nuggets’ situation at length with Gary Harris likely out tonight. They could free up a lot of minutes for Emmanuel Mudiay and Jameer Nelson. But there’s also the potential minutes for Kenneth Faried and Nikola Jokic, both of whom played last night.  And finally they discuss bigger money options like James Harden and Hassan Whiteside.  Learn more about your ad choices.

DFSR Crew of James Davis and Doug Norrie break down a nine game NBA slate for FanDuel and DraftKings. They start by how sites are changing/ adjusting pricing based on matchups and that’s a definite consideration today. James Harden’s seen a definitive price decrease tonight facing the Grizzlies. Then there’s Russell Westbrook whose price is going in the opposite direction facing the Timberwolves.  They also discuss how no Avery Bradley will again effect the usage rates of Marcus Smart and Isaiah Thomas.  Small forward and power forward are particular issues today with only really Lebron James and Kevin Love jumping out at the upper end of value. After those two guys the pickings get really slim.  And finally they discuss Joel Embiid and how safe we can feel on his price considering the minutes’ restrictions.  Learn more about your ad choices.

DFSR crew of James Davis and Doug Norrie talk a surprisingly big slate of Thursday NBA. There’s a ton to get into here with the premiere matchup of Russell Westbrook vs. James Harden highlighting the night. That is where most people will want to go with their lineups, but as the guys discuss, there’s a ton of mid tier value cropping up tonight.  Guys like Jeff Teague, Kemba Walker, Jrue Holiday, CJ McCollum and Paul George all come in with fantastic matchups and could be a way to create different lineups that fade the big boys.  They also talk a decent power forward position with Paul Millsap, Julius Randle and Thad Young. And finally, they end things by arguing over Montreal Harrell and Myles Turner’s ownership percentages.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
