Serge Ibaka Does His Job on Sunday
Toronto Raptors power forward/center Serge Ibaka did what the Raptors and owners expect of him in Charlotte: a little bit of points, rebounds and blocks to help his team secure the win. Ibaka didn't connect on any three-point attempts but still managed to put up 10 points on a fine 5-for-8 shooting. He was serviceable […]
Dewayne Dedmon Will Start on Sunday
Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon will draw the start against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday. Miles Plumlee is expected to come off the bench behind him. Dedmon has struggled lately, but was playing well in the beginning of the month. The Hawks usually keep his minutes in the low 20s, so his fantasy value is […]
Tyson Chandler Probable on Monday
Phoenix Suns center Tyson Chandler (neck) is listed as probable to play against the Golden State Warriors on Monday. He has missed two straight games due to neck discomfort, but should be back in the rotation on Monday. The Suns said they have no plans of shutting down Chandler this season. He will battle with […]
Nikola Vucevic Ruled Out Monday
Orlando Magic forward/center Nikola Vucevic (hand) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Head coach Frank Vogel said Vuc is day-to-day, but wants to get him in a few more practices before clearing him to play. The Magic have two games before the All-Star break, so it would not be surprising […]
Enes Kanter Will Play Sunday
New York Knicks center Enes Kanter (mouth) will play against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday. He missed Thursday's contest, but will officially be back in the lineup on Sunday. Kanter will not have a minutes limit, so owners can plug him back into all your lineups. Kanter will resume his role as the starting center […]

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. The Bulls-Wizards is full of value, but there is no gaurantee on who will be the most productive player. The Bulls […]
Markieff Morris Questionable on Saturday
Washington Wizards forward/center Markieff Morris (hand) is questionable to play against the Chicago Bulls on Saturday. He injured his hand in Tuesday's game against the Sixers. He was able to play on Thursday, but wore a wrap around his thumb and wrist in that contest. Mike Scott and Jason Smith would see increased playing time […]
Tyson Chandler Ruled Out Saturday
Phoenix Suns center Tyson Chandler (neck) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. It will be his second straight game sidelined, but head coach Jay Triano declined to say who would draw the start at center.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center John Henson (hamstring) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic. Henson sat out of Tuesday's game due to hamstring discomfort but returned on Friday against the Heat. Henson played 21 minutes but only managed three points and eight boards. The Bucks are likely just playing it safe and […]
Joel Embiid Questionable on Saturday
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. However, this information is from game notes, so owners will need to wait for more reliable information closer to tip-off.

Willie Cauley-Stein Blocks Two Shots In A Forgetful Night For Kings
Sacramento Kings center Willie Cauley-Stein blocked two shots along with 19 points, six rebounds, three assists and one steal in a game where Damian Lillard outright dominated the Kings. They will look to bounce back versus the Timberwolves, but the outlook doesn't look too good for Cauley-Stein. He will be up against a top-five center […]

He was productive on […]
NBA DFS Risers and Fallers for Week 17
Welcome back, my daily fantasy sports friends, to another edition of Risers and Fallers. There's a lot to cover every week, but I'm expecting next week's to be the wildest of the season - seeing as how yesterday's NBA Trade Deadline was one of the wackiest that I can recall.

Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers for Week 18 (Trade Deadline Edition)
The trade deadline hit big time on Thursday, with a ton of players changing teams and a ton of other players impacted by those moves, so I thought it would be a good idea to do a special edition of this week's risers and fallers column that focuses exclusively on how the deadline deals matter […]
John Henson Will Play Friday
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center John Henson (hamstring) will play against the Miami Heat on Friday. Henson sat out of Tuesday's win over the Knicks, but was able to fully practice on Thursday. He has been playing well this season, but the return of Jabari Parker will hurt his value slightly. Thon Maker will shift back to […]
Matt Wieters Expected To Be In Platoon
Washington Nationals catcher Matt Wieters is expected to be involved in more of a platoon situation behind the plate in 2018, with Pedro Severino the favorite to win the backup job. Severino must beat out Miguel Montero for the backup job in spring training, and Washington believes that Severino is ready to become a full-time […]
Kelly Olynyk Ruled Out Friday
Miami Heat forward/center Kelly Olynyk (shoulder) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This was expected, as Olynyk did not practice on Thursday and was doubtful heading into Friday. Hassan Whiteside, Bam Adebayo and James Johnson will split up the minutes without Olynyk in the rotation. The Heat do not play […]
Joel Embiid is Questionable on Friday
Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Joel Embiid (ankle) is questionable to play in Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He is dealing with an ankle issue, but Friday also marks the front end of a back-to-back set. Embiid was cleared to play both games this weekend, but the Sixers may decide to take the cautious approach. […]
