This will be the last NBA What If Matrix article for this season. I think it was a good addition to our NBA content over the last few months and one we will consider again for next season. If you have any feedback on the article hit me up on Twitter (@Rotopilot). Tuesday’s six-game slate […]
This will be my 89th and final NBA Hot Sheet for the 2017-18 NBA season.

Hopefully, you have enjoyed the column and have been able […]
There are going to be some chalky value plays according to Monday’s Weighted Consensus but picking which high-priced stud SF looks like a toss-up. See which value options are near must-plays and which stud has a slight edge for Monday’s eight-game slate.
Programming Note: This will be the last week we pull the expert’s NBA picks to grade and produce the Weighted Consensus Rankings. We will shift our focus to the MLB starting next week.
The Weighted Consensus for the NBA uses each expert’s current DailyOverlay score to generate a Weighted Consensus ranking. To calculate the Weighted Rank Score, each expert’s DailyOverlay score for players is weighted on a sliding scale from 1 to 5 with the top expert in the current standings being weighted with a five while the last place expert is weighted with a one. This method gives the higher rated experts picks more weight when compiling the overall player rankings for the day. We will include all players that generate a Rank Score of at least 10.0.
Here is the NBA Weighted Consensus list for March 19:
We are definitely in the “dog days” of the NBA season with teams in tank mode, fighting for playoff spots and seeding and, of course, plenty of injuries. Monday’s eight-game slate is no different with injuries opening up playing time for a few underpriced players and two high-priced studs squaring off against each other with the Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo taking on the Cavaliers and LeBron James.
Programming Note: I will be on vacation (Vegas, baby!) starting on Wednesday this week, so I will only be writing my NBA Hot Sheet and the What If Matrix articles today and tomorrow (Tuesday). These will also be my last NBA articles of the season as we plan to wrap up all of our NBA coverage at the end of this week so that we can turn our attention to the upcoming MLB season next week.

Just like Wednesday, where we had a smaller NBA slate but a lot of injuries to dissect, Friday’s six-game NBA slate is also full of injuries to keep an eye on with special interest in Golden St. and Oklahoma City.

Friday finishes off the week with a solid six-game NBA slate.

Thursday’s nine-game slate has far less injury news to monitor and react to then Wednesday’s wild four-game slate had. Of course, that could all change this time of year so still be on the lookout for any late scratches. This article will attempt to list all of the relevant injury situations to monitor for the […]

Welcome to the Weighted Consensus for the PGA where we publish a more in-depth version of the PGA Consensus rankings that take into account each expert’s current DailyOverlay score to generate a Weighted Consensus ranking.
To calculate the Weighted Rank Score, each expert’s DailyOverlay score is weighted on a sliding scale from 1 to 5 with the top expert in the current standings being weighted with a five while the last place expert is weighted with a one. If you have ever wondered how to differentiate between two players who were both selected by the same number of experts, then this is the list you need. We will include all players that are selected by at least two.
