DraftKings – Isaiah, I Do-A

As we get nearer and nearer to the fantasy basketball playoffs and more avid fans are knocked out of their league competish, what better way to keep up with fantasy than with our friends at DraftKings who run daily contests for big money prizes.  I know what you’re thinking… What’s big money?  How about $50 G’s!  No, that’s not how many G’s are in Tom Gugliota’s last name (I think it’s only those two… Maybe there’s another hidden silent one…).  You can qualify for as little as $5.  That’s multiplying your money by 10,000!  Best believe!  And for an exclusive offer, click here for a 100% Deposit bonus on any deposit under $600.

Once the NBA has wrapped up, do not fret DraftKings aficionados!  They will be running the same daily challenges for big money during the MLB season.  Just how much money did winners receive from MLB DraftKings challenges last year?! $5.5 million buck-a-roos!  And unlike leagues where you drafted Matt Kemp, Jacoby Ellsbury, or Troy Tulowitzki, the gods of injury won’t dispel your entire season as you can draft anew every day.  All you favorite types of games - double-ups, steps, qualifiers, GPPs, sit-n-gos – will be coming soon for the MLB.

But back to hoops, let’s take a look at some of the mid-tier guys I like for good values tonight:

Pau! Right In The Kisser!

Pau Gasol and the Lakers have had a train wreck of a season so far.  Pau is seeing nearly all his numbers being below career average (12.6/8.9/3.5/0.5/1.2 with 42% FG and 76% FT) and having “knee tendinitis” to boot.  As such, I had to move him down in the tiers because you can’t be a Victoria’s Secret model with those type of numbers.

It’s been the Kobe Bryant show over in LA and will remain that way until Steve Nash comes back.  This is an extremely small sample size but Pau Gasol arguably had his best game this year when Nash was handling the ball (the first game of the year!).  He had 19 shots that first game and has only topped 15 shots twice since then.  Is Pau getting old?

Kobe Bryant is no Jack Taylor

Last night, Kobe Bryant scored over half his team’s points (40) and reached a triple double.  No, not the good kind of triple double…the kind where you also have 10 turnovers.  An absurd line of 40/10/3/3 with 5 3PM, 12-28 FG, 11-13 FT, and the aforementioned 10 turnovers.  You’ll live with the high TO’s but the Lakers can’t.  In a night of high profile college basketball, the game turned out to be very similar.  I didn’t watch, but George Hill (19/5/5/1) hit the game winning shot to win 79-77 over Kobe Bryant.  Not to mention that the teams combined for 57 personal fouls (that’s an actual number, not some sarcastic number).  Did anybody enjoy watching that?  Glad I watched the ACC/Big 10 challenge instead.  Anyway, here’s what else happened in the NBA last night:

Darren Collison – Sometimes a coach likes to put a slumping player on the bench and see how he responds.

As I mentioned the past couple weeks, every Wednesday I will release tiers for G/F/C in rotating fashion.  Here’s the original tiers, updated Guard tiers, and last week’s Forward tiers.  Starting next week, I’ll split this into a morning and afternoon post (morning for recap and afternoon for tiers) to better explain the movement taking place.  As always, if you disagree with the tiers then go f*ck yourself.  BUT FIRST, the recap of last night’s games:

Nene Hilario – Nope, the Wizards did not play last night but he will return TONIGHT!  We’ll see how much playing time he gets, but he is the most offensively-talented big man on the Wizards’ roster.  If you own Kevin Seraphin, this is probably the time to drop him if you haven’t already.
