Larry Nance Jr. Efficient in Loss

Los Angeles Lakers forward Larry Nance Jr. was great on Sunday, putting up 15 points on seven of eight shooting. Believe it or not, Nance is posting top-50 numbers over the past two weeks with averages of 10.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.9 steals per game. He's also a nice player to have because he can […]

Julius Randle Productive In Loss

Los Angeles Lakers forward Julius Randle posted a double-double on Sunday, finishing with 17 points with 10 boards to go along with five dimes. He connected on seven of eight from the charity stripe, which was a surprise since the Lakers are absolutely terrible in shooting free throws (68 percent on the season) as a team. He's […]

Brook Lopez Continues to Struggle in Lakers Loss

Los Angeles Lakers center Brook Lopez has not impressed this season, a trend which continued on Sunday in the Lakers loss to the Raptors.

Willie Cauley-Stein Ruled Out Next Two Games

Sacramento Kings forward/center Willie Cauley-Stein (knee) has been ruled out the next two games. He injured his knee in Thursday's contest and the MRI showed a deep bone bruise.

Tyson Chandler Will Start Sunday

Phoenix Suns center Tyson Chandler (illness) will draw the start against the Houston Rockets on Sunday. He was questionable going into the contest but will be able to suit up. This likely means Greg Monroe heads to the bench on Sunday. Alex Len (ankle) has been ruled out, so Monroe could be looking at 20 […]

Alex Len Ruled Out Sunday

Phoenix Suns forward/center Alex Len (ankle) has been ruled out against the Houston Rockets on Sunday. He was unable to practice on Saturday, so it's not surprising to see him sitting this one out.

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/27/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

One thing to notice about today's slate is the amount of games that are lined up to be high-scoring affairs. The Celtics, Thunder, and Mavericks are all slower-paced teams that are facing potent offenses that are capable of piling on points quickly. The Pistons will still be in for a challenge and the Mavericks will […]

Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers (Week 16)

If I'd know last week that Andre Drummond was going to get all All-Star snub and then respond by going off for 30 points and 24 rebounds and SIX blocks against the Jazz, he would have headlined the risers list. But predicting who has one of those "I'm mad about something so watch out" games […]

New York Knicks center Enes Kanter had another great scoring performance on Friday, matching his points total from his previous game the night before to score an efficient 20 points (8-for-10).

Dwight Howard Produces Seventh Straight Game With 15 or More Rebounds

Charlotte Hornets center Dwight Howard grabbed 15 rebounds for the seventh straight game in a win over Atlanta on Friday.
