Joel Embiid Puts Up a Modest 17 Points in Miami

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid couldn't get the job done for his Sixers on Thursday, hitting three triples to score just 17 points on a poor 5-for-18 shooting in Miami. Embiid added seven rebounds, three assists and one turnover, while contributing no defensive stats in his 28 minutes. This was a quiet game by his […]

Anthony Cirelli Making A Name For Himself

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Anthony Cirelli (0 percent owned on Yahoo) scored a goal and added two assists in the 5-3 win against the New York Rangers. Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman is one of the best GMs today at finding young talent late in the draft, and Cirelli is no exception. The 20-year-old was […]

Riley Nash Scores Another Goal In Win

Boston Bruins forward Riley Nash (12% owned) scored a goal in the 3-2 win versus the Philadelphia Flyers. Not to be confused with Rick Nash, Riley Nash has been the replacement for injured Patrice Bergeron on the first line and has been nothing short of stellar. Nash has now produced seven points in his last […]

Sam Reinhart Stays On Fire With Two Points

Buffalo Sabres forward Sam Reinhart (40% owned) scored a goal and added an assist in the 4-3 shootout win against the Ottawa Senators. Reinhart has been red hot as of late, scoring 11 points in his last 12 games, and is finding nice chemistry with center Ryan O'Reilly. He will look to end the year […]

Jordan Bell Ruled Out on Thursday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Jordan Bell (ankle) has been ruled out of Thursday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. He sprained his ankle in Tuesday's contest and did not return. The Warriors have a back-to-back set coming up and Bell is expected to miss both contests. JaVale McGee and Kevon Looney are expected to see […]

Evgeni Malkin Can't Stop Scoring

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin is now up to eight goals and 21 points in his last 11 games, absolutely lighting up the league, but you already knew that. He's now up to 84 points and could surpass the 100-point plateau for the first time since the 2011-12 season if he can stay healthy. He's […]

Brandan Wright Ruled Out 2-3 Weeks

Houston Rockets center Brandan Wright (knee) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Head coach Mike D'Antoni said Wright is probably out two to three more weeks. Wright has missed five consecutive games, but D'Antoni said Wright is on the team for "insurance, mostly," so the Rockets will be fine without […]

Ryan Anderson is Doubtful for Friday

Houston Rockets forward/center Ryan Anderson (hip) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. It looks like Anderson is in danger of missing his sixth straight game. Trevor Ariza, Luc Mbah a Moute and P.J. Tucker will continue to fill in and see increased playing time with Anderson sidelined. Ariza offers the most upside […]

Mark Scheifele Is Considered Day-To-Day With An Upper Body Injury

Winnipeg Jets forward Mark Scheifele (upper body) was injured in a collision with teammate Blake Wheeler in the first period of Tuesday's game against the New York Rangers. Scheifele will not play Thursday against the New Jersey Devils. The Jets are in a playoff spot and can take the time to rest their best players. Scheifele […]

Stephen Vogt Works Out Pain-Free

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Stephen Vogt (shoulder) did some plyometric throwing drills Thursday and didn't have any pain. Vogt dealt with some shoulder soreness early in camp, but as long as he doesn't have any setbacks from here on out, he should be ready for Opening Day. However, he's not a lock for the final roster, […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/8/18): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Thursday, everyone. The association features a five-game slate with some pretty questionable matchups. Both Golden State and OKC have relatively easy games and are expected to win their respective contests by at least 10, making things tricky as they may opt to rest their core players down the stretch. Charlotte is also expected to win out […]

Auston Matthews Doubtful For Saturday Return

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (shoulder) is unlikely to play in Toronto’s Saturday match against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The second-year forward participated in team practice while wearing a non-contact jersey on Wednesday, indicating that he is making progress in his recovery. Matthews has not played since Feb. 22, and if he is held out […]

Mikko Koivu Extends His Point Streak

Minnesota Wild center Mikko Koivu had two assists, one on the power play, during Tuesday night's 6-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes. Koivu now has three goals and four assists in his last five games, putting him at 12 goals and 26 assists on the year. Koivu centers the top power-play line and he is […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (3/8/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Only five games tonight so let's get right into it. It's not a good night for fantasy basketball. I'll make that clear right off the bat. PLenty of funky mathups and teams that tend to focus more on hustle stats and defense more than anything. The Timberwolves-Celtics game is lined up to be close, but […]

Clayton Keller Finishes With Two Points On Wednesday

Arizona Coyotes forward Clayton Keller was involved in both goals in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Vancouver, opening the scoring with a power-play strike and assisting Derek Stepan on the game-winner in the final minute of regulation time.

Henrik Sedin Making History With Massive Goalless Streak

Vancouver Canucks center Henrik Sedin is on a career-high 48-game goalless streak and on the brink of league history. No player has previously scored two or fewer goals in a season with 40-plus assists, but that's exactly where Sedin is heading. He didn't even register a shot on goal for a second consecutive game in […]

Jussi Jokinen Scores First Canucks Goal

Vancouver Canucks forward Jussi Jokinen scored his first goal for the team in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Arizona, finishing off a nice move on a delayed penalty call. Jokinen has started life in Vancouver on the same line with the Sedin brothers, but he was actually fed by Brendan Leipsic and Sam Gagner. He had […]

Sean Monahan Ends Drought, Joins 30-Goal Club

Calgary Flames center Sean Monahan ended a four-game run without any goals or points on Wednesday before exiting the game against Buffalo. According to head coach Glen Gulutzan, Monahan has been dealing with a minor injury and he was pulled for precautionary reasons, so fantasy owners shouldn't really be worried about his status. His 30th […]

Clint Capela Misses Double-Double In Milwaukee

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela had a second consecutive game without a double-double on Wednesday, as he finished with 10 points and eight rebounds against the Bucks. Should fantasy owners be worried? Certainly not. Capela just posted a 17-rebound game less than a week ago and he's simply had uncomfortable matchups with OKC and the […]

Larry Nance Jr. Registers A Double-Double in Win

Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Larry Nance Jr. has been a very pleasant addition to the team, especially on the defensive end despite the absence of star Kevin Love. Nance displayed his diverse skill set once again Wednesday, scoring 13 points on 6-for-10 shooting from the field while grabbing 13 rebounds with four steals in the impressive […]

Myles Turner Scores 24 Points In Defeat

Indiana Pacers power forward/center Myles Turner finally shot his way out of a recent shooting slump, scoring 24 points on an efficient 10-for-14 shooting from the field in the blowout loss against the playoff-hopeful Utah Jazz.

Derek Stepan Nets Game-Winner Against Vancouver

Arizona Coyotes forward Derek Stepan scored in the final minute of the third period to bring the Coyotes to a 2-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks. He has been hot lately, putting up four points in his last three games. He is only owned in 40 percent of ESPN leagues, so think about adding him […]

Zach Randolph Solid Against Pelicans

Sacramento Kings power forward Zach Randolph posted a solid line in his return to the lineup in a 114-101 loss. Randolph finished with 19 points on eight of 17 from the floor and also chipped in five rebounds, two assists and one from deep.

Brook Lopez Wins It For Lakers

Los Angeles Lakers center Brook Lopez erupted for 27 points on Wednesday night, hitting a pair of clutch free throws to seal a 108-107 win over the Magic. Lopez matched a season-high 35 minutes Wednesday, and it's just the second time he logged over 30 minutes since Nov. 17. Lopez was allergic to rebounds as […]

Skal Labissiere Drops 14 Points In Loss

Sacramento Kings center Skal Labissiere was productive again, scoring 14 points on six of 12 shooting. Labissiere finished with four rebounds, three assists and a block, and this marks his fourth straight game in which he has scored in double digits. Willie Cauley-Stein (back) is still nursing a back injury, so perhaps Labissiere will continue […]

Jonas Valanciunas Fills it Up on Wednesday

Toronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas gave owners a double-double on Wednesday, hitting one trey en route to 14 points, shooting 6-for-13 from the field, as well as pulling down 11 rebounds in the paint against Detroit. Valanciunas added three assists, two steals and a block in this one while committing a team-high three turnovers also. […]

Serge Ibaka Ejected After Just 12 Minutes

Toronto Raptors power forward/center Serge Ibaka got himself an early ejection on Wednesday in Detroit after getting into some overly physical play with Pistons star Blake Griffin. As a result, his stat line looks exceptionally barren, as he finished with just two rebounds and four points on 2-for-8 shooting in this one. On the bright […]

Rudy Gobert Doubles Down

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert had an exceptional game Wednesday night versus the Indiana Pacers. Gobert scored 23 points, going 10-for-14 from the floor. Gobert also tallied 14 rebounds in the contest. This was the fourth straight outing for the Stifle Tower grabbing at least 12 boards. Also during this same four-game span, Gobert has […]

Riley Nash Continues To Produce On Bruins Top Line

Boston Bruins forward Riley Nash recorded two assists on Tuesday night, as the Bruins beat the Detroit Red Wings 6-5 in overtime. The 28-year-old may not have generated a lot of points earlier in the season, scoring 34 points in 62 games, but he has filled in nicely for the injured Patrice Bergeron on Boston’s […]
