Larry Nance Jr.'s New Role Hurts His Value

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. had a rough start to his Cavaliers career when it comes to fantasy, but he filled a much-needed rebounding role in the Cavaliers second unit.

Rodney Hood Scores 15 Points Against Celtics

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Rodney Hood scored 15 points in his Cavaliers debut and proved to be the exact security valve the Cavaliers needed off the bench.

Jordan Clarkson Shines In First Game As Cavalier

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Jordan Clarkson started his Cavalier career with a bang. He scored 17 points on 11 shots and has claimed the throne as a bench spark plug.

George Hill Has Underwhelming Debut

Cleveland Cavaliers guard George Hill scored 12 points in his debut win over the Celtics and left owners hoping for more. Granted, this is a point guard coming to a new team, and he will need a few games to assimilate. Hill is still known for his shooting and defense -- not the best attributes […]

LeBron James Scrapes At Triple-Double

Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James neared a triple-double against the Celtics on Sunday in a dominating victory. James finally had his new, youthful acquisitions at his disposal and the Cavaliers looked like a rejuvenated squad, resulting in a beautiful stat line from James.

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/10/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

There are seven games on the slate tonight and most of them are enticing matchups. OUtside of the Mavericks-Lakers and Warrior-Spurs, there are no real "landmine" games that are sure to be low scoring.

Tony Snell Has Not Scored In Two Games

Milwaukee Bucks forward Tony Snell has not scored in his previous two games and has only scored 10 points across his last four outings.

Tristan Thompson Should Be A Solid Play Versus Hawks

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Tristan Thompson has the chance to rebound (literally) against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night.

Blake Griffin In For First Revenge Game Of His Career

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin has had this game marked since the second he found out he was traded. First off, the Clippers have nothing except their wits when it comes to guarding Griffin, so that's a plus right off the bat. It doesn't hurt that the Clippers defense is in the dead center of […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Leads Charge In Win Over Thunder

Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored a team-high 20 points Thursday night against a Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony-less Thunder team.

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo scored 28 points on 16 shots, hitting five of eight from three-point range. Oladipo continues his All-Star campaign on a nightly basis, and owners looking to sell will be few and far between.

Skal Labissiere Scrapes at First-Half Double-Double

Sacramento Kings forward Skal Labissiere had a very strong start to Monday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder but failed to improve on his solid first-half performance, finishing with seven points and seven rebounds.
