Daily Fantasy Basketball Contests You Can't Miss: Wednesday, Feb. 11
Daily fantasy sports (DFS) continues to explode in popularity. Every week, more and more players jump into the inviting waters of DFS, excited for the opportunity to draft teams in a variety of sports for daily and weekly contests for real money. Best of all, it's 100 percent legal in most of the U.S. and Canada.
But as they wade into the waters, many players quickly realize the pool is far more vast and varied than they expected. Which DFS sites are the best to play on? Where can a player find a contest that suits his or her needs? With a monster NBA slate on tap for Wednesday night, juicy contests abound across a variety of sites. In total, 24 of the league's 30 teams will be in action as the league squeezes in a last full slab of games before the All-Star Break. Let's not miss this last chance to sate our NBA DFS appetites for a more than a week.
200K Money Ball: The big buy-in tournament of DraftKings' 3-Point Shootout, the Money Ball counts for the most, just like its namesake in the real-life 3-point contest. The $333 buy-in features $30,000 up top and a $200,000 guaranteed prize pool with a 667-player field.
150K Bird: Larry Bird wore number 33, so DraftKings named a $33 buy-in after the most legendary three-point contest winner of all time. Whoever does the best Bird impression out of a 5,165-player field will take down $20,000 out of a $150,000 prize pool.
100K Sharpshooter: The toast of all small-stakes players will be the Sharpshooter, which offers $10,000 up top for just $3. The prize pool is $100,000 with a 38,300-player field. That may sound like a ton, but as of this writing in the wee hours of Wednesday, it's already a quarter full, so hurry and fire away.
