Let Chris Kunitz help make you some Daily NHL Fantasy money.
As always, spend on one expensive defensemen and go cheap on goalie. Daily NHL Fantasy is a highly variable game, and my way of reducing variance is to play as many superstars as possible. My goal in hockey lineups is big risk, big reward. May all your investments tonight do well! Feel free to ask me questions, or check out the experts at www.fantasytrade411.com and www.thefakehockey.com!

College Basketball Lineups 3/4 /college-basketball-lineups-34/ /college-basketball-lineups-34/#comments Mon, 04 Mar 2013 06:11:08 +0000 /?p=365 There are only three games on the slate for fantasy college basketball today, so we’ll make due with what we have. Also, this is my first ever lineup for Daily Joust; We’ll see how it goes.

Fanduel:

F. Jeff Withey
F. Chane Behanan
F. Dejan Kravic
F. Kevin Young
F. Cory Jefferson
G. Ben McLemore
G. Travis Releford
G. Russ Smith
G. Cashmere Wright/Peyton Siva

Kansas has a very favorable matchup with Texas Tech. Normally, I would avoid a blowout like this, but KU is at home and Bill Self will leave the starters in for most of the game to put on a show. Cory Jefferson should have a good game inside against a Texas team that can’t seem to get anything going this year. And Peyton Siva and Cashmere Wright are a toss-up. Both putting up similar numbers for the exact same price. Can’t go wrong with either.

Daily Joust:

C/F. Jeff Withey
F. Cory Jefferson
F. Kevin Young
F. Titus Rubles
F. Chane Behanan
G. Ben McLemore
G. Brady Heslip
G. Peyton Siva
G. A.J. Walton

daily nba fantasy
Luis Scola is a great daily NBA fantasy value play.
There are many ways to value daily NBA fantasy, but what has served me the best is assuring that I am not playing against Lebron or Kevin Durant’s insane scores. When you are playing a head to head or at the very top of large tourney, you don’t want to get beat by those guys. Vasquez has a great matchup against the matador defense of Kyrie Irving and the Cavs and Holiday gets the depleted Timberwolves at a cheaper cost than the elite point guards. Shooting guard is a great place to mine bargains because outside of Kobe, Wade and Harden, there are no stars. Dudley is a personal favorite of mine for the night against Klay Thompson. The Nets and Bucks are playing a home and home back-to-back and last night Andray Blatche played the whole 4th quarter. Any one of Lopez, Blatche and LARRY SANDERS! are viable options. Finally, AK-47 returns from injury tonight and  he has the ability to fill up the stat sheet with assists, blocks, steals and boards more than almost other 3 in the league.

Daily NBA Fantasy Lineups for Fanduel, Daily Joust & Draftday 2/19 /daily-nba-fantasy-lineups-for-fanduel-daily-joust-draftday-219/ /daily-nba-fantasy-lineups-for-fanduel-daily-joust-draftday-219/#comments Tue, 19 Feb 2013 16:35:16 +0000 /?p=291
Al Jefferson is going to contribute in a meaningful way to your daily NBA fantasy experience.

After what seemed like an eternity (well…since Thursday) the NBA has returned and now we can gamble on it again. The time spent with the NHL was great, and personally profitable for me, but the NBA is a much more reliable game. Studying the matchups and developing opinions on how players perform in certain situations is incredibly rewarding in the daily NBA fantasy game. Since I’ve been using Fanduel, Daily Joust and DraftDay, I’ve been able to supplement my tiny college income with mostly Head to Head winnings, with one large tournament win on Daily Joust. Hopefully you have used my lineup information to make your own decisions and turn a profit for yourself. Here are today’s Daily NBA Fantasy lineups.

Fanduel:

PG Stephen Curry
PG Avery Bradley
SG Tyreke Evans
SG Monta Ellis
SF Danny Green
SF Rudy Gay
PF LaMarcus Aldridge
PF Jeff Green
C Brook Lopez
C LaMarcus Aldridge
PF J.J Hickson
PF Al Jefferson
SF Rudy Gay
SF Micheal Beasley
SG Avery Bradley
SG Danney Green
PG Steph Curry
PG Kemba Walker
PG Steph Curry
PG Kemba Walker
SG Avery Bradley
SG Danny Green
SF Kawhi Leonard
SF Luol Deng
PF LaMarcus Aldridge
PF Nikola Vucevic
C Al Jefferson
If you have been reading these columns for any period of time, you could have expected that Avery Bradley would be in these lineups. Since Rondo has gone down, he has taken the role of initiating the offense and is such a pest on defense that he always generates steals and transition points. At the cost required, you have to get him in your lineup. Today specifically, I like the Spurs in a huge blowout over the Kings, meaning massive minutes for Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard while the old guys get healthy. Aldridge has a great matchup against Phoenix’s soft front line made of Marcin Gortat, Markieff Morris and some leftover Domino’s dough. Al Jefferson draws a similarly weak matchup against Golden State that underperformed even with Andrew Bogut on the floor. Good luck today and leave your comments below!

February 17th Fanduel Daily NHL Fantasy Lineups /february-17th-fanduel-daily-nhl-fantasy-lineups/ /february-17th-fanduel-daily-nhl-fantasy-lineups/#comments Sun, 17 Feb 2013 20:28:27 +0000 /?p=272 One final day of NBA All-Star weekend and then a basketball-less Monday night before NBA games resume. While I do enjoy playing daily NHL fantasy and recommending lineups, once basketball gets started up again, I will be transitioning my attentions back to the NBA games. If you have found you enjoy playing the daily NHL fantasy games, I will always answer your questions on twitter @davismattek . If full lineups are what you are looking for, the great @thetonym and @slimcliffy over at Fantasy Trade 411 post lineups on a daily basis; additionally, @naparker77 does Daily Joust lineups at The Fake Hockey every single day, as well. Those guys are hugely knowledgeable and will help  your daily lineup decisions. Now, onto 2/17’s late game Daily NHL Fantasy lineups!

Fanduel Daily NHL Fantasy Lineup:

LW David Perron
LW Alexander Ovechkin
RW Marian Gaborik
RW Vladimir Tarasenko
C Henrik Sedin
C David Backes
D Zdeno Chara
D Dustin Byfuglien
G Richard Bachman
daily nhl fantasy
David Perron and the rest of the Blues top scorers represent real daily NHL fantasy value.
With some of the more expensive superstars either not playing, or playing in the early games on Sunday morning, there is a more bourgeoisie approach to today’s daily NHL fantasy lineups. While the Blues fell into a bit of a funk last week, the values presented by Tarasenko, Perron and Backes are too good to pass up. Some daily sites have moved on from using Tarasenko as a consistent option, but his physical talent allows for a 10 point game almost any given night. Additionally, Marian Gaborik is a just a stud of a hockey player and he headlines today’s lineup alongside of Ovechkin. Kari Lehtonen suffered an injury in the first period of last nights game (killing several of my head to head matchups), but anytime there is a goalie injury, there will be a cheap option to use the next game.  Utilize Bachman in net to ensure being able to spend extra on your offensive players who score a great percentage of fantasy points.

What can E’Twaun Moore do you for your daily NBA fantasy lineups?

After showing a positive balance on my lineups through the last several days, I present to you optimized lineups for the games provided by Draftday, Fanduel and Daily Joust. As always, use your own discretion and if your research tells you something different, roll with it. May all your head to heads end in your favor.

Draftday Optimized Daily NBA Fantasy Lineup:

Kyrie Irving v CHA (PG)

John Wall v NY (PG)

E’Twaun Moore v LAC (SG)

Monta Ellis v UTA (SG)

Carmelo Anthony v WAS (SF)

Kyle Korver v MEM (SF)

LaMarcus Aldridge v DAL (PF)

Marreese Speights v CHA (PF)

Brook Lopez v DET (C)

 

Fanduel Daily NBA Fantasy optimized lineup:

PG Kyrie Irving
PG Avery Bradley
SG E’Twaun Moore
SG James Harden
SF LeBron James
SF Kyle Korver
PF Ryan Anderson
PF Marreese Speights
C Brook Lopez
Daily Joust Daily NBA Fantasy optimized lineup:
PG Kyrie Irving
PG Avery Bradley
SG O.J Mayo
SG E’Twaun Moore
SF Carmelo Anthony

C Nikola Pekovic
Althrough these lineups are sprinked the awesome values of Avery Bradley, E’Twaun Moore and Marreese Speights. If you utilize the combinations of these players who have over 30 minutes of floor time due to injuries, you will be able to have star studded lineups and use Lebron James, Kevin Durant, Carmelo, LaMarcus Aldridge and others.

Febuary 4th and 5th Fanduel & Daily Joust Daily Fantasy Lineups /febuary-4th-fanduel-daily-joust-daily-fantasy-lineups/ /febuary-4th-fanduel-daily-joust-daily-fantasy-lineups/#comments Mon, 04 Feb 2013 16:42:26 +0000 /?p=221 More daily fantasy optimized goodness for both Fanduel and Daily Joust on Febuary 4th and 5th, 2/4 & 2/5/2013. Good luck! These daily fantasy lineups will help you score some solid daily fantasy money.  The Fanduel Lineup is entered in a 2K contest on Tuesday and the Daily Joust Lineup is a Monday-only lineup. Follow these two lines up on Monday and Tuesday as your guideline, make some of your own choices and enjoy playing Daily NBA Fantasy.

Let this floppy haired white guy when you some daily fantasy money.

Fanduel Optimized Lineup for February 5th:

PG Jeff Teague
PG Mike Conley
SG Klay Thompson
SG James Harden
SF Paul George
SF Kyle Korver
PF Earl Clark
PF Carl Landry
C Brook Lopez
A value-laden team including Earl Clark with major minutes at a cheap price, Kyle Korver getting 10 more minutes a game after Lou Williams went down. James Harden and Paul George are the high dollar value players I chose due to their match ups. Klay Thompson has been a fantasy machine and Teague & Conley are our game manager PG’s who are affordable and put up a solid modicum of production.
Daily Joust Optimized Lineup for February 4th:
C Nikola Pekovic
PF Al Jefferson
PF David West
SF J.R Smith
S.F Paul George
SG Eric Bledsoe
SG Nick Young
PG Russell Westbrook
PG Isiah Thomas
Pek is the ultimate daily fantasy player, consistently undervalued and always puts up production. With the lofty salary cap on Daily Joust, picking up superstars like Jefferson, West, George and Westbrook is a no brainer when you have the ability to combine them with values like Isiah Thomas and Eric Bledsoe.
May you win all your coin flips tonight, gentlemen!

Kevin Durant Highlights my January 31st NBA Fanduel Lineups

I have finally broken down into the degeneracy that is Fanduel and daily fantasy gaming. On days that I optimize my lineups and compete in larger pools, I will post my optimized lineups for that nights game. This set of NBA Fanduel lineups should be interesting. As always, leave your comments below!

PG Damian Lillard
PG Eric Bledsoe
SG Klay Thompson
SG O.J. Mayo
SF J.R. Smith
SF Kevin Durant
PF Ryan Anderson
PF Earl Clark
C Andre Drummond
Lillard against Utah was simple, a team that struggles to contain athletic guards in the pick and roll. Bledsoe getting the start against a Toronto team in upheaval seem like an attractive bargain. Klay Thompson against Dallas and conversely O.J Mayo against Golden State should be a high scoring and exciting game. There is heavy J.R Smith versus Monta Ellis shootout potential in Mil. vs. Golden State. Go with the player who will get more boards and assists. Durant against Memphis, who just lost Rudy Gay, their best Durant defender…Durant may go off for another 50. Ryan Anderson in a high speed game versus Denver could shoot 15 three point shots. Earl Clark has played incredibly well of this last stretch for the Lakers and is still starting over Pau Gasol. At the center slot, it doesn’t get much better than Drummond against an Anderson Varajeo-less Caviliers team.
