SFC Picks

Picks:

-Penguins
-Bulls 3-pointers- We think the bulls will win straight up, and with Deng shooting the lights out recently and Korver being one of the best 3 point shooters in the league this is a pretty easy prop
-Djokovic- The knock on Murray is that he can't win the big game and beat a top 5 player. Will this stay true?
-United States
-Senators
-Celtics
-Notre Dame- Notre Dame won both regular season matchups between the two.
-Bruins
-62 or fewer- The two regular season games they met they did not score 63 points or more. 3rd times the charm? We say... no shot. 
-Baylor- Baylor spanks just about everyone by double digits. We are thinking of this as a safe pick, but 4 safe picks in one day was a bit much.

_________________________________________________________
G1- Deron Williams NJ- is a very consistent player however there has been a rise in his assist/game numbers as of late. Facing Sacramento is always nice too. Routinely games involving the Kings reach high 90s, low 100s in points scored. With this happening, how would Williams not be a part of this 100 point game?
G2- Iman Shumpert NY- With all the Knick injuries he could see over 30 minutes tonight. As long as Lin is still out then we love this play. If somehow Lin starts tonight then forget this pick.
G3- Alonzo Gee CLE- Irving is questionable, Gibson is out, Varejao is out and Alonzo Gee has stepped up averaging 12 points 6 boards and 2 assists in the month of March. 

F1- Tristan Thompson CLE- Is averaging 11 points and 9 rebounds his last 5 games and which are 4 points and 2 rebounds higher than his season average. Also, last time these two teams met the final score was 120-103 so it should be another high scoring game with lots of points on both sides. Thompson had 11 points and 8 rebounds in that game. Expect 18+ fantasy points. 
F2- Carmelo Anthony NY- has had his struggles at times this year, but over the last 3 games he has 30 points and 9 rebounds per with half the Knicks roster injured. This means Fields, Harrellson, and Novak all might be great picks for tomorrow if everyone is going to be out. Lin, Chandler, Davis are all questionable, and Jeffries, Stoudemire, Walker are all out. We personally have Iman Shumpert and J.R. Smith in our lineups for tonight. Expect Melo to put up 27+ fantasy points.
F3- Ersan Ilyasova MIL
C1- Demarcus Cousins SAC- has been in beast mode lately averaging 28 points and 15 rebounds with his season average being 18 and 11. Alos, with Tyreke Evans listed as questionable Cousins may look to score more if Evans is out. We really shouldn't even have to explain this pick to you anymore. He is THAT good right now.
C2- Greg Monroe DET- Charlotte is bad. Just flat out bad. The worst part of their team, they cannot guard big men to save their lives. Dwight Howard averages 20 and 20 vs. them and Monroe is averaging 19 and 15 vs. them this season. Expect 27+ fantasy points. 
C3- Tyson Chandler NY- matches up really well with the Cleveland Cavaliers but is listed as 
questionable. We at One Site Fantasy don't even consider putting anyone on our team that is listed on the injury report at all but if he does play he should do well.

Challenge Day 30
                                           One Site Fantasy    VS.   Roto Grinders        We Win By: 
Picks with 2.0 value:          63.6% (126/198)         46.6%  (54/116)                26.8%   
Average lineup score:               212                              184                            12.9%
H2H Win Percentage:               18-2 (W-L)                                                     90%  



G-1 Klay Thompson (Warriors): We have been following Thompson very closely the past few weeks and have noticed a pattern.  He has a big game, then an average game, then a big, and so on.  Even when he has an average game, he almost gets 2.0 his value so he’s a low risk play.  Last game he had an average game, so you know what that means for tonight…
G-2 Isaiah Thomas (Kings): The little guy has been starting and sharing the backcourt with Tyreke Evans, and has been extremely impressive.  Wednesday night he put up 38 fantasy points (28 points, 10 assists, 4 rebounds, and 1 steal) against the Spurs. 
G-3 Gordon Hayward (Jazz)
F-1 Carmelo Anthony (Knicks): Since Stoudemire has been out, Carmelo has looked like the old Carmelo.  Valued at just over 13K, ‘Melo has gone off in the last two games logging 44 and 39 fantasy points respectively.  This hot streak should continue with Stoudemire out for a couple more weeks, and Lin questionable for tonight’s big Eastern Conference matchup with the Hawks.
F-2 Kevin Love (T-Wolves): He’s hotter than a firecracker.  In his last 4 games he has put up: 68, 55, 76, and 65 fantasy points.  Even though Boston has one of the best defenses in the league, it would be a mistake not to play Love. 
F-3 Chandler Parsons
C-1 DeMarcus Cousins (Kings): By looking at his numbers, you would think we were getting him confused with Dwight Howard.  Cousins is a must play right now; he is averaging 47 fantasy points (3.0 his value) over his last 5 contests which include outbursts of 54 and 60.  He is also matched up against a Utah team who has given up an average of 105.7 points per game over their last 3 games.
C-2 Al Jefferson (Jazz)
C-3 Andrea Bargnani (Raptors): You have to love a center who can drain threes.  After missing much of the season to injury, Bargnani has been off his game, but Wednesday he put up 37 fantasy points and led the Raptors scoring attack.  Furthermore, he is a low risk play since he is around 10-11K. 
Value Plays of the Day:
G Iman Shumpert (Knicks): Lin is ruled out again for tonight against the Hawks; this means Shumpert is starting again and a must play.  Last game he put up just shy of 40 fantasy points (25 points, 7 boards, 4 assists, 1 and 1 steal), and look for 25+ out of him tonight.
F J.J. Hickson (Trail Blazers): A recent pick-up of Portland, Hickson has really impressed the coaching staff in his first few games.  He has solidified himself as the 1st player off the bench in their frontcourt.  In 4 games with Portland, he has averaged 13 points and 24 minutes per game.
G Gerald Green (Nets): Green is seeing big minutes off the bench, and at a value of 7K, he is a must play.  The shooting guard is averaging 24 fantasy points over the last 2 games (over 3.0 his value), and he has a great matchup against the Warriors tonight.
Lineup A:
F: Carmelo Anthony NY
F: Chandler Parsons HOU
G: Gordon Hayward UTA
G: Klay Thompson GS
C: Al Jefferson UTA
C: DeMarcus Cousins SAC
U: Iman Shumpert NY

___________________________________________________
G1- Russell Westbrook OKC

G2- Wesley Matthews POR- Matthews has been the man lately. Averaging over 23 fantasy points per game in the last two weeks is great value for his 10K cost. We like him to easily get that and get even more if Raymond Felton is still out due to personal matters. Either way, we like him a lot tonight and will continue to as long as he is starting and under priced.

G3- Ramon Sessions LAL

F1- Dirk Nowitzki DAL

F2- Brendan Wright DAL

F3- Metta World Peace LAL- We never thought we'd see the day where we would have World Peace show up on our roster. Today is that day though. Due to a smaller amount of games, and honestly a pretty good fantasy option for his price, we like MWP to get more than double his cost of 7K. Something that has stuck in our mind is the way OKC sometimes just doesn't attempt to rebound. Well, the Thunder can't make every shot and we like MWP to be there to get those missed shots.

C1- Roy Hibbert IND- Hibbert has been playing fairly well in the last couple of weeks, and we like him to continue that. We don't see this pick as one that is going to get you 40 fantasy points, but we do like him for between 26 and 30. Washington gives up a ton of points, and there is a possibility Nene might be out.

C2- Pau Gasol LAL

C3- Nene WAS *Check injury reports throughout the day

G1- Luke Ridnour MIN- Ridnour has been playing well in place of Rubio, but had a terrible night last night. Look for him to bounce back tonight. Expect 22+ fantasy points.
G2- Klay Thompson GS- Thompson has been on fire since the trade deadline. He has been starting, getting a lot of minutes, and has been producing with those minutes. Expect 19+ fantasy points.
G3- Andre Miler DEN- Miller had 13 points and 12 assists last time he played Toronto. With his low cost, we definitely think he'll get his 2x cost value. Expect 20+ fantasy points.
F1- Kevin Love MIN
F2- Tristan Thompson CLE
F3- Tim Duncan SA
C1- Roy Hibbert IND
C2- Greg Monroe DET- Has a great matchup versus the Cavs tonight. We expect him to do very well considering they don't have any real big men.
C3- Demarcus Cousins SAC- Cousins is playing unreal right now. There is no reason to think that he can't go off against the Spurs. If Marcin Gortat can put up 40 fantasy points against the Spurs like he did last night then Cousins can easily do the same.

Viewer's Choice- 10K and Under Must Plays


We are all looking for the sneaky-cheap plays in NBA daily fantasy leagues.  The best part about cheap plays is the very low risk involved… and the potential for very high reward.  If players don’t perform well, then “no big deal” because you invested very little.  Below are my top 10 under-10K plays of which many will give you 3.0 their value (values are from draftstreet.com).

1.     Patrick Patterson (F, 6.9K, Rockets): Who is this guy?  He saw 31 minutes of action Monday night off the bench as he put up 36 fantasy points.  In 7 of his last 8 games, he has put up 3.0 his value or better.  All he has to do is put up 14 fantasy points to give you 2.0 his value, and after his recent play, he is sure to continue seeing a huge workload off the bench.
2.     Brandon Rush (G, 8.8K, Warriors): Golden State is having huge issues this year with injuries, and guess who is starting to really benefit from these injuries:  Brandon Rush.  His fantasy points for the last 4 games are 34, 18, 22, and 28.  On March 25th he played 40 minutes and recorded a double-double.  Rush guarantees you almost 3.0 his value; a huge bargain for a guy who sees this much action coming as a non-starter. 
3.     Greg Stiemsma (C, 7.7K, Celtics): Coming off the bench, Stiemsma is a force on defense.  He will not score in the double digits, but he racks up rebounds and blocks in his limited playing time off the bench to give Brandon Bass a breather.  It is hard to find cheap productive centers, but Stiemsma is a great option.  In his past 5 games he has scored 19, 19, 7, 36, and 20 fantasy points.  There is zero risk at playing Stiemsma. 
4.     Wesley Matthews (G, 9.9K, Blazers): Matthews is scorching the nets right now; we have been waiting for this all year.  In his past 6 games he has put up at least 2.0 his value: 22, 25, 38, 35, 23, and 20.  Twice during this hot streak he has almost hit 4.0 his value.  Even if he has a cold day shooting, he has racked up the boards and steals of late making him a must play in fantasy.
5.     Avery Bradley (G, 4.4K, Celtics): Bradley is enjoying his new starting role since Pietrus and Allen have been out with injuries.  And you are probably thinking, “Is he really valued at 4.4K?”  The answer is yes; what a steal Bradley is right now.  Playing in 40 minutes on Sunday night, Bradley put up 28 fantasy points, and yesterday he put up 16 fantasy points.  16 is not that much, but he is valued so low giving him a 3.0 value from last night!  If Allen and Pietrus keep missing time, Bradley is a no brainer play. 
6.     Klay Thompson (G, 9.8K, Warriors): We have all heard about Klay Thompson.  The rookie is filling in nicely for the banged up Warriors.  In his last 9 games, he is averaging 24.9 fantasy points.  If I do the easy math, that is 2.5 his value.  The only downside to Thompson is he can be a streaky shooter.  He can put up 31 points one night, and then next night put of 10 points.  Either way, keep on riding the Klay Thompson train now that Monta Ellis is gone.
7.     Charles Jenkins (G, 6.3K, Warriors): Nate Robinson is out with an injured hamstring, and Jenkins filled in quite well Sunday night putting up 27 points and 29 fantasy points.  At this time, Robinson is not expected back for the next couple games giving you the opportunity to pick up Jenkins at his ridiculously low cost.  Expect 3.0 - 4.0 his value until Robinson returns.
8.     DeJuan Blair (C, 9.9K, Spurs): He’s heating up!  The young player out of University of Pittsburgh is beginning to finally gain some confidence.  In back to back nights, he has put up 38 and 30 fantasy points respectively.  At just under 10K, he is worth a look at. 
9.     Brandan Wright (F, 8.4K, Mavericks): This Saturday he came out of nowhere for Dallas, and in 34 minutes, he put up 45 fantasy points which included 7 blocked shots.  He is seeing big minutes with Haywood out, and the Mavs like this kid a lot more than Mahinmi.  Play him while he’s hot at the okay price of 8.4K.
10. Tristan Thompson (F, 8.5K, Cavs):  The rookie center for the Cavs is a very cheap play especially since he is a starter.  Here is the problem though; he lacks consistency.  He has put up 11, 34, 16, 48, and 12 fantasy points in his last 5 games.  If you follow the pattern, looks like he is primed for a big night tonight. 
Honorable Mentions:

1.     Jamal Crawford (G, 7.4K, Blazers): There is no argument here; Crawford is the streakiest shooter in the NBA.  He can shoot Portland out of games, and he can shoot Portland to victory.  You never know what you will get from him, but at the 7.4K price, he might be worth the gamble if you feel a little risky.  And with Felton expected to miss tonight because of family matters, look for Crawford to get extended playing time and put up at least 3.0 for value.

2.     Byron Mullens (C, 7.3K, Bobcats): What an up and down season Mullens has had.  He has come off the bench and has been in the starting line-up as well.  At one point this season, he was seeing big minutes as a starter, and putting up 25+ fantasy points every night.  Now he is back on the bench, but he is making the most of his playing time.  In the last two outings, he has put up 30 and 28 fantasy points respectively.  Maybe he is beginning to find his stride again.  At 7.3K, he seems to be worth the risk.
