DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/14/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a smaller four game NBA slate to get us through this hump day and there are some interesting options across the board. Not a ton of injuries as of right now, so lineup construction should be pretty straight forward, which could make it difficult to get some of the bigger name players into the same […]

Hassan Whiteside Ruled Out on Wednesday

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He's missed two straight games and it appears he's headed towards a third consecutive game on the sideline. This information is from the game notes, so there is a small chance that his status does change. Bam Adebayo […]

Stephen Vogt Still Dealing With Shoulder Strain

After a second opinion, it was confirmed that Milwaukee Brewers catcher Stephen Vogt (shoulder) continues to deal with a strain in his right shoulder capsule. Manager Craig Counsell said, "I don't think Opening Day is likely." Vogt was battling for backup duties with catcher Jett Bandy, with Manny Pina set to open the season as […]

Victor Caratini Dealing With Knee Soreness

Chicago Cubs catcher Victor Caratini (knee) is dealing with a sore knee after he was hit by a pitch and then had a collision at home plate. Caratini remains day-to-day. Caratini holds no fantasy value and is likely to spend most of 2018 in Triple-A Iowa.

Emeka Okafor Just Misses Double-Double

New Orleans Pelicans center Emeka Okafor got close to his first double-double since returning to the NBA last month, scoring 14 points and picking up eight rebounds in a win over Charlotte on Tuesday. Okafor logged a season-high 26 minutes, which helped him on his way. He shot 7-for-14 from the floor and recorded three […]

Alex Len Only Plays Five Minutes Versus Cavs

Phoneix Suns center Alex Len scored two points with two rebounds in a loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. He only played five minutes, which should concern owners who are praying he finds his game again. He is only averaging 10 minutes per game in his last five games and Jared Dudley played 20 minutes in […]

Anthony Davis Dominates The Hornets

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Anthony Davis provided another superb fantasy line for his owners on Tuesday, scoring 31 points, grabbing 14 rebounds and recording five blocks against the Charlotte Hornets. It's his fourth game this season with at least 30 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks, which makes him the first player to do it […]

Matt Wieters Coming Alive Finally

Washington Nationals catcher Matt Wieters is having himself a spring. In contrast to his disappointing 2017 numbers (wOBA of .273 and 62 wRC+), he's now 7-for-17 at the plate this spring with a home run and five RBI. It's only a small sample, but any news from him is encouraging. The Nationals were looking to […]

Jamie Benn Scores Power Play Goal in Loss On Tuesday

Dallas Stars captain Jamie Benn tallied a goal with the man advantage in a 4-2 loss in Montreal on Tuesday. Despite his team's loss, Benn had a solid night for fantasy owners, posting the aforementioned power play goal, as well as contributing three shots and four hits in 20:34 of ice time. While Benn has […]

Christian Dvorak Continues Bizarre Streak On Tuesday

Arizona Coyotes forward Christian Dvorak scored his 14th goal of the season in Tuesday's win over the L.A. Kings to continue a bizarre streak that he's put together this month. Dvorak now has four goals for the month, scoring in every other game, and he hasn't picked up any points in the games that he […]

Nick Cousins Posts New Career High In Coyotes Win

Arizona Coyotes forward Nick Cousins will be celebrating his new career high in points Wednesday after ending Tuesday's 4-3 win over L.A. with a goal and an assist to make it 17 points for the season. It's not much, but it's enough for a bottom-six forward, especially considering the fact that Cousins has chipped in with […]

Clayton Keller Makes It 50 Points With 19th Goal

Arizona Coyotes forward Clayton Keller became the club's third-ever rookie to reach the 50-point mark in a season, doing so with his 19th goal, which opened the scoring in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kings. Keller, who also scored in the shootout, is showing off some really good form this month, as he's been […]

Riley Nash Adds Two Assists In Comeback Over Hurricanes

Boston Bruins forward Riley Nash recorded two assists in the Bruins 6-4 come-from-behind win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night. The 28-year-old center/right wing has been playing on Boston’s top line alongside forwards David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand due to Patrice Bergeron’s foot injury. Nash has exceeded expectations in his new role, contributing three […]

ADP Busts - 2017 Infield Breakouts to Avoid in 2018

Earlier this week, I took a look at four outfielders whose disappointing 2017 performances made them potential draft bargains for the 2018 fantasy baseball season. Today, we’re taking the opposite tack. Overpaying for last year’s breakout is one of the easiest – and costliest – mistakes a fantasy owner can make, and we’ve all fallen […]

Brook Lopez Not Ready For Lost Season

Los Angeles Lakers center Brook Lopez looked fantastic on Tuesday, as he is likely rewarding lucky owners who plucked him up off the waiver wire in the crucial stretches of fantasy hoops. Lopez finished the game with 17 points, three treys and a block. He's been terrible all season, as he never seemed to be […]

Kyle Kuzma Erupts For 26 Points And 13 Rebounds

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma continues to shine, heating up for 26 points and 13 boards in a 112-103 win over the Nuggets on Tuesday. He chipped in five triples and overall shot the ball well, going 10-for-20 from the field. It marks his second straight double-double, as he's now averaging 17.0 points and […]

Julius Randle Goes Barbecue Chicken On Nuggets

Los Angeles Lakers forward Julius Randle continues to bully his way during the final stretches of the season, as he finished with 26 points and 13 rebounds on 11 of 17 shooting from the floor. He's been the most consistent Laker this season, especially given the fact he's never missed a game all year. Randle […]

Jonas Valanciunas Puts Up a Beastly Double-Double

Toronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas stole the show on Tuesday in Brooklyn, posting a monster double-double in just 26 minutes in the win over the Nets. Valanciunas scored just as many points in this one, finishing with 26 on the night, shooting a fine 12-for-20 in the win. He also led both teams in the […]

Serge Ibaka Just Misses a Double-Double in Brooklyn

Toronto Raptors power forward/center Serge Ibaka failed to hit double figures in any category on Tuesday but still managed to have a productive outing in Brooklyn for his owners. Ibaka scored an ugly nine points (2-for-6) in this one, doing most of his damage from the charity stripe, shooting 5-for-5 from the line in the […]

Joel Embiid Threatens Triple-Double with Eight Turnovers

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid had himself a big double-double on Tuesday. With 29 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks, Embiid was efficient near the basket, shooting 11-for-22 from the field. However, he struggled to find his stroke from downtown, as he missed all five of his attempts. In addition, he accumulated eight turnovers. This […]

Jean-Gabriel Pageau Increases Point Streak To Three

Ottawa Senators forward Jean-Gabriel Pageau produced an assist in the 7-4 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning, increasing his current point streak to three games. After trading Derick Brassard, Pageau was moved up to the second line with Bobby Ryan and Marian Gaborik and has benefited offensively from this promotion. In his last seven games, […]

J.T. Miller Nets Three Goals In Loss

Tampa Bay Lightning center J.T. Miller is making the most of his promotion to Tampa Bay’s top line. The recently-acquired winger recorded a hat trick on Tuesday, the first of his career. Miller has been quite productive in the short term with his new team, scoring five goals and adding four assists. Tampa’s loss was […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Has Another Superb Game

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns played extremely efficiently Tuesday night against the Washington Wizards. Towns scored 37 points, shooting 13-for-17 from the floor, with three of those made shots coming from downtown. He also hit all eight of his free throw attempts. Towns also had 10 rebounds and two blocks. It really has been March […]

Steven Adams Out Tuesday Against Hawks

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (hip) will not play against the Atlanta Hawks Tuesday. Adams suffered a hip contusion against the New York Knicks Monday and will sit the second night of a back-to-back. Dakari Johnson will start at center, but has not shown any fantasy potential in limited minutes. Johnson makes for a […]

Henrik Zetterberg Records Two Points in Loss

Detroit Red Wings center Henrik Zetterberg scored a goal and an assist in a loss to the San Jose Sharks on Monday night. The two points put Zetterberg on pace for 54 points this season, which would be a step down from the 68 points he recorded last year. This will be the sixth season […]

Enes Kanter Expected To Play Against Mavs

New York Knicks center Enes Kanter (back) is available to play Tuesday night against the Dallas Mavericks. Kanter missed Sunday's contest with back spasms, but will return to the lineup along with teammate Lance Thomas (thumb). With their returns, Luke Kornet will bounce back to the second unit and Kyle O'Quinn will lose some minutes […]

Jarrett Allen Will Sit Tuesday Night

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday night's game against the Toronto Raptors. Allen was questionable coming into the contest but missed games earlier in the season with a similar issue and will continue to do so Tuesday. The Nets will likely use Dante Cunningham as a small-ball center, but […]

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic was absolutely dominant against the Miami Heat on Monday night. He finished the game with 27 points on 12-for-18 shooting to go along with 16 rebounds, three assists and three blocks.
