Week 15 NBA Injury Report: Magic Meltdown
Injuries seem to come in bulk this season. The Magic are without their entire backcourt as well as Aaron Afflalo, the Clippers are missing their two biggest stars, the Bulls are missing two of their top producers, and the 76ers look like they will be without Thaddeus Young and Jason Richardson “for a while.” In […]
FanDuel Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks – Feb. 5
I entered yesterday’s lineup into three head-to-head matchups and went two for three. A fluky goal against Thomas Greiss and a solid defensive but lackluster offensive performance by Oliver Ekman-Larsson hurt my chances in the third matchup. But I’ll take the two wins. Today I’m going to offer two lineups. This stems from a desire […]
The Big Fundamental Catches Big Break: MRI Clears Injury
Rest easy San Antonio fans, The Big Fundamental remains fundamentally sound. After rolling his leg under Washington’s Martell Webster, fears that the Spurs’ season was over without Tim Duncan sounded louder than the hush following Derek Fisher’s 0.4 shot. At 36 years old, the prospect of him returning from such a blow seemed dim, especially […]
Lob City Wants Kevin Garnett
The trade thermometer is heating up in Boston. Its needle rested principally on Paul Pierce but has recently shifted onto his fellow star teammate Kevin Garnett. KG seemed untouchable mostly due to a no-trade clause in his also well-padded contract. But rumors take on a whole new life when they’re given time to simmer, especially […]
Week 15 Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire: Bulls Eye
It’s rare you see a team lose three starters at the same time but that is exactly the situation that the Chicago Bulls have found themselves in over the past week. Luckily, a real team’s mess is a fantasy team’s opportunity to get some cheap short-term fantasy production. With Joakim Noah, Carlos Boozer, and Kirk […]
NHL Fantasy Hockey Week Three Preview (Feb. 4-10)
It seems as though a few of the superstars in the NHL were listening to Jump Around by House of Pain on repeat last week and told themselves “Like the cream of the crop, I rise to the top”. If you have players like Crosby, Stamkos, Malkin, Staal, Letang or Karlsson, then you likely had […]
FanDuel Fantasy Hockey Picks – Monday Feb. 4
After a break for the Super Bowl I’m back swimming through NHL stats to construct FanDuel lineups for Sports Jerks. There are certain things to consider when building a daily fantasy lineup and recently I have been using power play ice time as one of my factors when choosing a player. I will still use […]
More FanDuel Fantasy Hockey Picks For Saturday – 2/2
Adam Markowitz already gave you a great set of picks for today—but if you’re anything like me you sometimes like to throw an alt-lineup into one of the FanDuel tourneys … especially the ones that allow multiple entries. Consider this a Sports Jerks alt-lineup. It’s kind of like Pink Floyd without Roger Waters or Van […]
