Welcome back, everybody! I hope you finished strong and got the win in your season-long leagues. And I hope you were profitable in DFS as I was. We have the all-star break coming here pretty quick, so keep a close eye on teams being overly cautious with their hurt players. This is the time where they get the extra rest as a precaution. Anyways, in this article, I will be once again showing the top 5 teams that are the best and worst against each position over the last 7 days. These are huge for DFS as well as for determining who to start in season long. Now let’s dig in!

Takeaways:
A couple of things to keep in mind is that Denver has been shutting down opposing guards. So the way to attack them recently is with bigs.
Sacramento continues to be a poor defensive team, and personally, I have been running 2-3 man stacks against them. While running it back with 1 or 2 from the Kings, and I’ve been pretty successful with that.
Since KD has been out, the Nets have been getting beat up by power forwards and centers. While KD is out, definitely continue that trend. However, when KD returns, I would scale that strategy back.
A huge nugget of advice is to look over all the games for the day; if you have a game where the teams fall into multiple top 5s for worst defense, you game stack that game. If your betting on the game, bet the over.
On another topic, all MLB teams report to spring training. And games will begin on February 28th. Dynasty Sports Empire offers a wide selection of dynasty leagues to jump into. I just joined my 1st startup league of the season today. I highly recommend checking them out and joining a league. On Tuesday, I will be having 2 guests on my Podcast talking about NFL Free Agency and Salary Caps. I would love it if you listened in!
Good luck this week!
