Joe Pavelski Scores His Seventh Goal

San Jose Sharks center Joe Pavelski scored his seventh goal of the season in Thursday's 4-3 loss to Dallas.

Boston Bruins center David Krejci registered a trio of assists on Thursday night in a 8-5 loss to the Vancouver Canucks.

John Henson Available Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks center John Henson (wrist) is available to play on Thursday in the team’s game against the Golden State Warriors. With Henson available it takes any DFS appeal away from Thon Maker as a filler in most lineups. This will also cut into Ersan Ilyasova minutes, but he is still a solid tournament play […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (11/8/18): NBA DFS Lineups

Only four games on tap in the association tonight, but there is still plenty of value to be had as these eight teams combine to provide 29 different players who've averaged at least 25 DraftKings fantasy points per game this season.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center John Henson (wrist) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors.

Brook Lopez and Thon Maker would […]

Hawks Are Reluctant to Trade Dewayne Dedmon

Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon could be on the move this season with the team rebuilding and Dedmon on an expiring and affordable deal. Dedmon is only owned $6.3 million, which is going to draw plenty of interest from playoff contending teams. However, a move to another team would likely decrease Dedmon's value. He currently […]
