Welcome back, everybody! I will focus on all the injuries and weekly thoughts on how teams have performed the last 7 days. This will be very important for playing matchups as well as waiver wire pickups. I will list my favorite free agent pickups at the bottom of the article as well. If you want to get my thoughts on injury plays or anything DFS, please hit me up on Twitter @MikeAlby. We had a huge week in DFS this week! Our FanDuel NBA went 6-1, and FanDuel NHL went 3-4. And as I’m writing this up, both sports are deep in the money! Now let’s dig in, shall we!

Takeaways:
- The Sacramento Kings do not play defense. If your playing DFS right now, stack against them. In season-long leagues, stream starters that are playing them.
- Now that the Nets have 3 guys that shoot the ball at least a combined 70 times a game, they have been getting blasted by big men. Fire up any center playing the Nets from now on. Especially when their starter DeAndre Jordan can’t play over 25 minutes.
- The Clippers have put the clamps down on all big men. The best way to attack them is with guards.
- In the same breath, the Suns have dominated guards. The position that has been putting in work are the centers.
The biggest way you can take advantage of these charts is to watch game totals and spreads. If a game has a total of over 230 and a spread under 7.5, you need to play the players that correlate to this chart.
I will be breaking down NBA slates every single day this week before I post my optimal lineups. So if you have any questions or want to chop up the slate, hit me up on Twitter. Also, Monday, I will have another football podcast up, and I would love for you to have a listen!
