NHL DFS: Point Shot Cheat Sheet – 8/2
I’m focusing on the main slate on Draftkings here which is the full five-game set. FanDuel is splitting the two slates with two early games and three late games. I prefer playing on DK personally so that’s where my focus will generally be but these plays are valid for both sites, slate dependant of course. CENTERS WINGS DEFENSE TOP $ Auston Matthews (TOR) Patrice Bergeron (BOS) David Pastrnak (BOS) Mitch Marner (TOR) Alex Pietrangelo (STL) Zach Werenski (CBJ) MID $ Bo Horvat (VAN) Pierre-Luc Dubois (CBJ) Taylor Hall (ARI) Claude Giroux (PHI) Vladimir Tarasenko (STL) Alex Edler (VAN) Morgan Rielly (TOR) VALUE $ Derek Stepan (ARI) Matt Duchene (NSH) Cam Atkinson (CBJ) Ondrej Kase (BOS) Phil Kessel (ARI) Quinn Hughes (VAN) Brad Hunt (MIN) Erik Johnson (COL) Favorite Line Stacks *Note: Lines are subject to change depending on morning skate lines. Revert to the chat and/or look for updates here for any impact they may have. Toronto Maple Leafs Nylander – Matthews – Marner Boston Bruins Marchand – Bergeron – Pastrnak Arizona Coyotes Hall – Dvorak – Kessel Value Line Stacks Nashville Predators Turris – Duchene – Granlund Vancouver Canucks Pearson – Horvat – Boeser Top Goalies Jordan Binnington (STL) – Binnington has been battle-tested and stood tall in the past for a very good defensive team overall in the Blues. Outside of the top line and Cale Makar on the blue line, Colorado I feel is limited offensively. If St. Louis can neutralize the 420 line, I like Binnington’s chances of producing a rock-solid effort. Darcy Kuemper (ARI) – Kuemper is priced down and should see a good amount of shots. This game will depend a lot on which Nashville team shows up. The heavy offensively talented group or the fraudulent, inconsistent team that we’ve seen time and time again. Freddy Andersen (TOR) – Look for Andersen to see a ton of shots because as we’ve seen in the past, Toronto tends to yield a ton of shots with their leaky defense. I don’t love Andersen’s price tag but the high-save upside is there. GOOD LUCK!!

At last, hockey is back amidst the chaos that we are currently dealing with these days. As we head into the playoffs, the return of hockey brings with it a fun five-game DFS slate spanning the entire day starting with
KBO DFS – Fri May 8th
As we all continue to anxiously wait for MLB to return, we continue to have baseball in the form of the KBO, which I’ve actually enjoyed to be honest. The tricky aspect of our new-found DFS sport will continue to be lineup confirmation coming in the very early morning hours. With that said, here’s my view of the Friday, May 8th slate. Today’s Games Yellow Highlighted Team Is Favored Away Pitcher DK $ Home Pitcher DK $ KT Wiz Hyeong Jun So $4,000 Doosan Bears (-190) Hee Kwan Yoo $8,500 Hanwha Eagles Min Jae Jang $8,500 Kiwoom Heroes (-170) Seung Ho Lee $8,000 SK Wyverns (-120) Seung Won Moon $8,200 Lotte Giants Kyung Eun Noh $6,500 LG Twins (-115) Tyler Wilson $7,800 NC Dinos Jae Hak Lee $9,800 KIA Tigers (-145) Drew Gagnon $7,000 Samsung Lions Chae Heung Choi $5,000 Pitchers Tyler Wilson (LG Twins) We want pitchers that go deep and show damage control. Strikeout upside is a bonus, of course and Wilson has all of the above-mentioned traits. As long as Wilson doesn’t have a shortened pitch count (he was in quarantine for 14 days thus starting the season late), we can expect the righty to pitch deep. Last season in 30 starts Wilson tossed 185 innings with a 6.7 K/9. The season prior over 26 starts he posted a 7.9 K/9 over 170 innings. He’s kept the ball in the ballpark over his first two seasons in the KBO as well, thus, limiting damage. Seung Ho Lee (Kiwoom Heros) 20-year-old Seung Ho Lee had some rocky outings early on last season but ended up tossing 14 quality tarts an allowed just one earned run over his final 18 innings of the year. While the K upside might not jump off the page here, consider that Lee is in a good spot as a favorite for a good offensive team it seems in the Heroes. Drew Gagnon (KIA Tigers) Former Met “great” in the majors, Gagnon (was not actually great in the majors over his two seasons) is a 29-year-old who did have some success in the minor in the Mets’ organization. In 2019 at triple-A he held opponents to a .230 batting average in 15 starts spanning 88.2 innings with 107 strikeouts and 17 walks and had a WHIP of 1.07. The year prior at the triple-A level when the Mets’ affiliate was still playing in the Las Vegas (the PCL) where the ball flies and all of the stadiums are bandboxes, Gagnon’s numbers, although inflated considering the circumstances, were still respectable as far as peripherals go over 157.2 innings. At $7,800 for a pitcher, who’s team is favored, expect him to be somewhat popular but an arm to consider nonetheless. Batting Targets Doosan Bears The defending KBO champs facing an 18-year-old in his league debut seems like a good spot to start with bats on this slate. Doosan has scored 14 runs over there last two games while pounding out 14 hits in their last game. Jose Fernandez (1B/2B), Jae il Oh (1B), and Jae Hwan Kim (1B/OF) have all gotten off to good starts this season and are the projected 2, 3, and 4 hitters. Jae Ho Kim (SS) is a good value at $3,300, has five hits in his last nine at-bats, and was in the six-hole in the Bears’ last game. Kiwoom Heroes I’ve been on the Heroes train quite heavily early on and it’s been both successful and gut-wrenching. Facing Min Jae Jang who has some strikeout upside but the propensity to get into trouble with traffic on the bases as last year he suffered from a 5.43 ERA in 22 starts and was able to toss just seven quality starts. Kiwoom was the best offense in the KBO last year by far and I expect them to start flexing their muscles much as they did in their first game when the recorded 11 runs. Byung Ho Park (1B), Ha Seong Kim (SS), and Keon Chang Seo (1B/2B) are three bats to start with Seo being a great value near the top of the order. Jung Ho Lee (OF) is another bat in the middle of the lineup, but consider that he’s not a big power-bat rather a high-average doubles guy with some speed. Definitely someone worthwhile in a stack as he’s the three-hitter for Kiwoom. One-off Bats C: Sang Ho Chung (NC Dinos) 1B: Dae Ho Lee (Lotte Giants) 2B: Min Hyeok Kim (KT Wiz) 3B: Jeong Choi (KT Wiz) SS: Sun Bin Kim (KIA Tigers) OF: Sung Bum Na (NC Dinos), Hyung Woo Choi (KIA Tigers) Good Luck!!
NHL DFS: Point Shot – 3/12
Key Skaters Alex Ovechkin (WSH) Not breaking news here. Ovechkin is good. Also, not breaking news, Detroit is a disaster. Ovie has hat tricks in two of his last three games against Detroit and nine goals in his last seven

Key Skaters Evgeni Malkin (PIT) Over the past four weeks, the Devils have the second-highest xGA/60 mark at 5v5 while also allowing the second-most scoring chances per 60 at 5v5. Malkin has recorded points in each of his last four

NHL DFS: Point Shot – 2/27
Key Skaters John Tavares (TOR) In a great matchup (Florida has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to centers over the past four weeks), Tavares gets the edge for me over AM34 mainly because of the great salary difference.

Key Skaters Max Pacioretty (VGK) Max had a dissapointing effort the other night when I featured him as the matchup was tough, which I pointed out. This matchup, also a tough one but not as tough as it would seem.
