Daily Fantasy Basketball Value Plays 4-13-2013 (By Gerald Bourguet): Today’s value plays feature a lot of lottery-bound teams, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty to capitalize on. There aren’t as many stars in action today, but there are still plenty of high producing value options to bolster your squad. Here are your value plays for the day.

Daily Fantasy Basketball Value Plays 4-11-2013 (By Gerald Bourguet): Good God, did Festus Ezeli really crack the top five today? With Joakim Noah and Tyson Chandler out, yes he did. Which means that Nazr Mohammed is your best bet as a value option. You can also look to Andrew Bogut, but Mohammed’s recent numbers are actually better recently.

Daily Fantasy Basketball Value Plays 4-9-2013 (By Gerald Bourguet): Today’s matchups feature some pretty spread out talent with LeBron James separating himself from the pack pretty easily (no Kevin Durant or Carmelo Anthony in action). Kobe Bryant has been as determined as ever to keep his team’s playoff hopes alive, but I’m a little hesitant to fully endorse the number of minutes he’s logging.

Daily Fantasy Basketball Value Plays 4-9-2013 (By Gerald Bourguet): Today’s value plays aren’t anything special or hard to spot, but ride certain players’ hot streaks to capitalize on those cheaper spots to build a superior team around your superstars. Guys like Jeremy Lin, Pau Gasol and Nikola Pekovic are all playing very well right now and should serve as cheaper complements to your big-name guys.

Daily Fantasy Basketball Value Plays April 7th (By Gerald Bourguet): Today’s value plays feature two matchups that really could go either way, but both sets of guards and forwards going head-to-head should be able to produce if their recent numbers hold true. Keep your eye on their health heading into gametime and make any adjustments you need to.

Daily Fantasy Basketball Rankings 4-5-2013 (By Gerald Bourguet): Carmelo Anthony is averaging 45 points over his last two games. He’s averaging 33 points and 7 rebounds over his last five. I put him in the top spot that he well deserves. Kevin Durant is one of the top two fantasy players in the game, but if Melo stays on this unbelievable roll he’s been on, you might as well save yourself cap room by picking Melo over Durant.

Daily Fantasy Basketball Value Plays 4-4-2013 (By Gerald Bourguet): As great as the Spurs and Nuggets are doing this year, it’s hard to endorse drafting their players for fantasy because they’re either being rested (Spurs), have too many role players who can step up on any given night (Spurs and Nuggets) or are just too well balanced (again, Spurs and Nuggets).

Daily Fantasy Basketball Value Plays 4-3-2013 (By Gerald Bourguet): With almost every team in the league in play today, there are a plethora of solid options to choose from, even with the Heat and Thunder not in action. Paul Pierce missed the Celtics’ last game due to personal reasons so keep your eye on his status for tonight’s game against Detroit. If he plays, don’t hesitate to pick him up.

Daily Fantasy Basketball Value Plays 4-2-2013 (By Gerald Bourguet): With only three NBA matchups today, your options are pretty slim for superstars and value plays alike. LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Kobe Bryant are all available, however, as are a few hot value options like J.R. Smith and John Wall.

Daily Fantasy Basketball Value Plays 4-1-2013 (By Gerald Bourguet): Today’s lineups don’t feature LeBron, Kevin Durant or Melo, but there are quite a few quality guards and forward to choose from. Gerald Henderson and Ersan Ilyasova remain solid value plays, but don’t overlook guys like Ricky Rubio, Tobias Harris or Jonas Valanciunas either. Here are your value plays for the day.

Daily Fantasy Basketball Value Plays 3-31-2013 (By Gerald Bourguet): Happy Easter, everyone! The forward position is the strongest by far today, with LeBron James and/or Carmelo Anthony and/or Tim Duncan as must-haves. John Wall, Nate Robinson, Paul Pierce and Carlos Boozer are all smart plays to make considering their recent production and are probably a little bit cheaper than some of the more well-known names.

Daily Fantasy Basketball Player Rankings 3-30 (By Gerald Bourguet): Today’s value plays include two streaking guards from Charlotte, two extremely cheap options at the forward position and a center who is having a big impact now that he’s healthy again. Today’s lineups are loaded with superstars, but make sure you check the status of Kobe Bryant, Al Horford and Joakim Noah for today’s games.

Fantasy Basketball Player Rankings 3-27 (By Gerald Bourguet): Remember the last time I picked Goran Dragic as a value option and he nearly had a triple-double? If he continues that hot streak in a game in Utah, he’s another value play that I wasn’t able to squeeze in with today’s loaded lineups.

Daily Fantasy Sports News and Featured Contests - Wed 3/27 (by Matt Trollo) There isn’t enough room in the intro to tell you everything that’s going on today.

Why, all of them of course. Read on...

Fantasy Basketball Player Rankings 3-26 (By Gerald Bourguet): Today’s lineups are severely lacking, especially since there are only six NBA teams in action. And with a major lack of talent, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul are nearly must-haves as the only fantasy stars in the draft pool available. Jeff Green and Brandon Knight are also worth a look as cheaper options, but you really can’t afford to avoid Melo or CP3 today.

Daily Fantasy Sports News and Featured Contests - Mon 3/25 (by Matt Trollo) Just a week away from meaningful baseball & it’s snowing. Thankfully, basketball is played indoors & though it seems like we say it every week, this really is a big week for Daily Fantasy Basketball. Super Joust V week, Battle Bracket Finals and more.

Fantasy Basketball Player Rankings 3-25 (By Gerald Bourguet): With the news that Stephen Curry isn’t worried about his ankle, he automatically gets inserted into the top five for guards today, sandwiched between a playoff-hungry Kobe and the ever-improving Jrue Holiday. It’s hard to go wrong with LeBron James at this point, but also keep your eye on Josh Smith and Nikola Vucevic as well.
