Markieff Morris Stays Hot

Washington Wizards forward/center Markieff Morris continued his hot shooting Friday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. Morris scored 17 points on 8-for-15 shooting and contributed six rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block in just 26 minutes. Over his past six games, Morris is shooting 56.1 percent from the field for an average of […]

DeAndre Jordan With Monster Game Against Cavs

Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan was a key part of the team's victory over the Cavaliers on Friday night. Jordan showed out, scoring 20 points on 50 percent from both the field and from the line, which was key as Cleveland began intentionally fouling him as they fell behind. The undersized Cavaliers also did […]

Best Ball Sleepers and Late Round Targets for Fantasy Baseball

Best ball leagues are one of the latest variations of fantasy baseball that are quickly growing in popularity. Draft day is the only day of the year where owners will have control over their roster. There is no waiver wire and there are no trades. Owners won't even set daily lineups, as they will instead […]

Larry Nance Jr. Remains Consistent Against Los Angeles

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Larry Nance Jr. continued his efficient play against the Clippers on Friday night. Nance made an impressive seven of 10 shots from the field and finished the night with 16 points. He also pulled down 12 rebounds and added a steal and a block to his defensive stats. Nance continues to play […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/10/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a seven 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 lineup. […]

Nikola Jokic Has Solid All-Around Performance

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic played well against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night. Jokic scored 21 points, shooting 8-for-14 from the floor and hitting all four of his free throw attempts. He also recorded six rebounds, six assists and two steals. Jokic has been shooting the ball well since the beginning of February, […]

Jamie Benn Scores Game-Winning Goal, Adds Assist In Win

Dallas Stars left winger Jamie Benn recorded his 15th multi-point performance of the season in Friday's win against the Ducks. Benn has not necessarily looked like his normal self on the ice recently, but fantasy owners would have a difficult time knowing, as the large power forward has now posted seven points in his last […]

Tyler Seguin Registers Two Assists in Win

Dallas Stars center Tyler Seguin posted two assists in a 2-1 win against the Ducks on Friday. Despite seeing his six-game point streak (seven goals and four assists) come to an end on Tuesday, Seguin's two-point performance indicated that he would like to start another one. Both of Seguin's helpers came on the power play […]

Jonas Valanciunas Knocks Down Some Clutch Free Throws on Friday

Toronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas hit the game-sealing free throws against the Rockets on Friday, finishing with a full line in the contest that included a double-double. Valanciunas scored 14 points on the night, shooting 5-for-8 from the field and 4-for-4 from the line in the big win. He added 10 rebounds and three assists […]

Serge Ibaka Plays Just 24 Minutes in Big Win

Toronto Raptors power forward/center Serge Ibaka didn't play down the stretch for the Raptors on Friday but still scored a solid 11 points against the Rockets, knocking down one triple in his 24 minutes while shooting 5-for-10 from the field in that span. Ibaka was a little quieter than usual in this one, adding just […]

Auston Matthews Out Saturday

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (shoulder) has been officially ruled out for the Leafs Saturday contest against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The timetable for his recovery is unclear, although there is a possibility the Maple Leafs may keep him off the ice longer than necessary. Toronto has a firm grasp on third place in the […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (3/9/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Happy Friday to you, my fellow Rotoballers and DFS addicts! March Madness is upon us, and while that phrase generally refers to NCAA action, there is quite a bit of madness in DFS right now. The madness of projecting and finding players who should see a healthy number of minutes. Anywho, we've got 10 beautiful […]

Brian McCann Hitless Thus Far In Spring Training

Houston Astros catcher Brian McCann is still looking for his first hit through 14 spring at-bats. This shouldn't set off too many alarms for the veteran catcher with 263 career home runs, but it is reasonable to ask how much the 34-year-old has left in the tank. He failed to hit more than 20 home […]

Buster Posey Gets Cortisone Shot

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey (ankle) received a cortisone shot, which helped calm down inflammation in his ankle. Posey also took an MRI exam, which ruled out anything serious. Posey is hoping he is good to go now and was in Friday’s lineup, going 3-for-3 with two doubles and two runs scored.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/9/18): NBA DFS Lineups

Hello, all! We have a massive Friday slate after a respectable Thursday slate last night. There are double digit games tonight, and we have plenty of options to choose from. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 3/9/18.These DFS lineup picks can vary from higher-priced […]

Sam Gagner Replaces Jake Virtanen On Canucks First Line

Vancouver Canucks forward Sam Gagner will be bumped up to the first line for Friday's game versus Minnesota. Jake Virtanen was the first guy getting a look following a season-ending injury to Brock Boeser, but he failed to impress on Wednesday against Arizona, finishing with no points and just one shot on goal in 18 […]

Willie Cauley-Stein Ruled Out Against Magic

Sacramento Kings forward/center Willie Cauley-Stein (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. He's missed three straight contests and it is not surprising to see the Kings sit WCS in an important lottery game. The Kings are tanking for draft positioning, so they'll give WCS another day of rest. Zach Randolph […]

Jarell Martin is Questionable on Friday

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jarell Martin (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. He has not played in the last two games despite Memphis listing him as probable on Monday and questionable for Wednesday's contest. Fantasy owners should prepare for Martin to miss his third straight contest on Friday. JaMychal Green would be […]

Caleb Joseph Drives In Run Against Blue Jays

Baltimore Orioles catcher Caleb Joseph, who drove in one of the team's five runs on Friday, has been having a hot spring. He has to, because right now he's got three other backstops breathing down his neck to be the starter -- Chance Sisco, Andrew Susac and Austin Wynns. So far, Joseph hasn't blinked, as he's hitting […]

Anthony Davis is Doubtful on Friday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Anthony Davis (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. He is only day-to-day after the MRI came back negative. Davis rolled his ankle on Wednesday and was unable to return against the Kings. The Pelicans may decide to be cautious with Davis and let him rest […]

Tyler Zeller is Questionable on Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Tyler Zeller (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. He fell hard on his back during Sunday's contest versus the Sixers. Zeller has missed two straight games since, but that does not mean much for fantasy purposes. John Henson played 20 minutes on Wednesday and Thon Maker did […]

J.T. Realmuto Scratched With Knee Contusion

Miami Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto (knee) was scratched from Grapefruit League action with a left knee contusion Friday. The injury doesn't look to be very serious, so Realmuto should be fine. Despite the Marlins roster overhaul over the winter, Realmuto remains a top-five fantasy catcher, although his run and RBI totals will surely suffer in […]

NBA DFS Risers and Fallers for Week 21

We've reached peak tank season, and it's coupled with "let's see what these bench guys are capable of" (on good teams, mind you, the bad ones have long been playing reserves) season. As teams have just 15-18 games left on their schedule, playoff teams are tapering their starters minutes in preparation for the playoff stretch […]

Ryan Spooner Gets Three Points In Loss To Lightning

New York Rangers forward Ryan Spooner (14 percent owned in Yahoo! leagues) notched his 11th goal and added two assists in Thursday night's loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 26-year-old has been rejuvenated since his trade from Boston; he now has eight points in six games with his new club. He is seeing time on […]

Dylan Larkin Shooting More, Not Finding Goals

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin had five shots in Detroit’s shutout loss to the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday night. This makes it 12 games since Larkin has scored, but it is not for a lack of attempts. Larkin now leads the Red Wings in shots for the season, averaging 2.76 shots per game, […]

Rickard Rakell Scoring At Will Right Now

Anaheim Ducks forward Rickard Rakell added another couple of goals to his tally on Thursday against Nashville to make it 30 goals for the season. Amazingly, nearly a third (eight) of the goals have come during his current hot streak, as he has goals in five consecutive games and a total of 10 points. The […]

Jeff Carter Has Four Goals In Five Games

Los Angeles Kings center Jeff Carter was back among the goals on Thursday, scoring for the fourth time in five games against Washington. He also assisted Trevor Lewis on the game-winner in a 3-1 win. Carter struggled at first following a four-month absence with an ankle injury, but he's rolling now and has a great […]

Ryan Johansen Posts Multi-Point Game On Thursday

Nashville Predators center Ryan Johansen contributed a goal and an assist, as his team captured its 10th straight win on Thursday. Johansen entered double-digit goal territory (10th goal of the season) off a backdoor deflection and then added a secondary assist on a nice rush play later in the game. While it appears that Johansen […]

Cody Eakin Shines In Vegas Win

Vegas Golden Knights center Cody Eakin had his best performance of the year on Thursday against Detroit, finishing with two goals and three points in a 4-0 road win. Eakin, who ended the game with a plus-4 rating, made it 2-0 in the middle of the second period with a short-handed goal and scored again […]

Connor McDavid Posts New Career High With Goal No. 31

Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid was the hero once again on Thursday night against the Islanders, tying the game with a late goal to take the match to overtime and bagging a decisive goal in the shootout. McDavid now has a new career high with 31 goals in a season, and he's the first Oiler […]
