Hassan Whiteside Posts First Double-Double Since Returning From Injury

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside posted 14 points and 10 rebounds in Sunday afternoon's win against the Utah Jazz. Whiteside also set the defensive tone early, blocking three shots in the first quarter and finishing with four blocks overall. Whiteside appears to still be working into game shape, as he only played 26 minutes Sunday […]

Andre Drummond Questionable for Monday

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond (ribs) is questionable to play against the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday. He played through sore ribs against the 76ers on Friday, but he aggravated the injury. Drummond was held out of Saturday's contest against the Houston Rockets. Owners should expect an update on Drummond after shootaround on Monday. If […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/7/18): NBA DFS Lineups

As is the case most Sundays, we have a small slate. There are four games tonight, which is the main slate for DraftKings. That means those are the games that this article is going to focus on. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 1/7/18. […]

Marcin Gortat Productive Saturday

Washington Wizards center Marcin Gortat finished second on the team in scoring Saturday night against the Milwaukee Bucks. Gortat posted 17 points on 7-for-10 shooting with seven rebounds, three blocks and no turnovers in 33 minutes. Gortat is currently posting his lowest point and rebound total since the 2010-11 season, but he has potential for […]

Markieff Morris Posts Third Straight Double-Double

Washington Wizards forward/center Markieff Morris continued to be active on the glass in Saturday night's loss against the Milwaukee Bucks. Morris posted his fourth straight double-digit rebounding total and his third straight double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds in 32 minutes. After a slow start to his season coming off an injury, Morris is starting […]

DeMarcus Cousins Drops 23 Points And 15 Rebounds Against Timberwolves

New Orleans Pelicans center DeMarcus Cousins posted 23 points on 6-for-11 shooting to go along with 15 rebounds, five assists and three blocks in a disappointing loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. He had his usual turnover issues, contributing seven turnovers to finish the night. Cousins owners should be familiar with his stat lines already, as […]

Anthony Davis Disappoints In Loss

New Orleans Pelicans power forward Anthony Davis posted 16 points on 5-for-12 shooting to go along with nine rebounds, one steal and two blocks in a blowout loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. This was a poor game by Davis' standards, as he played 36 minutes and failed to reach his normal average stat line. There is […]

Willie Cauley-Stein Swipes Seven Steals

Sacramento Kings center Willie Cauley-Stein put his imprint on a 106-98 win over the Nuggets on Saturday, dropping 17 points on 8-of-12 shooting to go along with a career-high seven steals. Cauley-Stein has been frustrating to own this season, mainly due to the sporadic minutes that are being thrown around in Sacramento. However, he's been […]

Jahlil Okafor Drops 12 Points in 12 Minutes Against the Celtics

Brooklyn Nets center Jahlil Okafor had his best game as a Net on Saturday, scoring 12 points in just 12 minutes of action. Okafor rebounded the ball well in his limited playing time, coming down with five boards in the loss. He also showed some good rim-protecting skills with two blocks in this one. Okafor […]

Aron Baynes Fills in for the Sidelined Al Horford

Boston Celtics Aron Baynes had a frustrating game on Saturday in Brooklyn, picking up five personal fouls early on in the third quarter. Baynes still was able to make a decent impact on the game, though. He finished with 10 points and six rebounds, while blocking one shot as well in his 20 minutes. If […]

DeAndre Jordan Posts Double-Double In Loss

Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan scored 15 points and pulled down 11 rebounds in an ugly 121-105 loss to the Warriors on Saturday. Jordan has been a surprise in the new year, having hit 83 percent of his free throw attempts. Although he hit 5-for-7 of his freebies Saturday, owners shouldn't expect a miracle […]

Blake Griffin Suffers Concussion

Los Angeles Clippers power forward Blake Griffin (concussion) just can't seem to stay healthy, as he was elbowed in the head by Warriors center JaVale McGee. Griffin was down on the floor for a good amount of time, but he did walk to the locker room under his own power. Given the nature of Griffin's injury […]

Jonas Valanciunas Has Big Double-Double In Win

Toronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas played a key role in spurring a run in the third quarter as the Raptors beat the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday. He scored 20 points and grabbed 13 rebounds all within the limited 17 minutes that he played. This continues the theme of the year for the veteran big man. […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/6/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Six games tonight with an early Warriors-Clippers game at 2:30PM. It's important to note the lack of options at small forward, and the problem is whether to go big with LeBron James or Giannis Antetokounmpo. Even Jimmy Butler is enticing, but both Butler and James have the better matchups on paper. Antetokounmpo will be going […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/6/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a 6 game NBA slate, which is a bit small for a Saturday but there are some very interesting options across the board. There are a number of injuries going around, so this should open up some value plays once we get the starting lineups. In this article, I will be providing you with […]

Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers (Week 13)

It was a fun week of basketball with a few marquee games, including the return of Isaiah Thomas against Portland on Tuesday, a (Thomas-less) Cavaliers/Celtics game on Wednesday, and a Warriors/Rockets game on Thursday that was exciting in spite of the fact that Golden State was without Kevin Durant and Houston was without James Harden. […]

Kevin Love May Not Play on Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Kevin Love (ankle) is a game-time decision for the team's Saturday night matchup with the Orlando Magic. Love suffered the ankle injury during the team's blowout loss to the Boston Celtics on Wednesday and was forced to leave prematurely as a result. However, he has returned to practice since then and is […]

Nene Hilario Will Sit on Saturday

Houston Rockets center Nene Hilario (knee) will sit out on Saturday against the Detroit Pistons. Hilario has been dealing with a deep bruise, which also forced him to miss the team's last meeting with the Warriors on Thursday night. In his stead, center Clint Capela will see a good chunk of the minutes in the […]

Al Horford Struggles Against KAT

Boston Celtics center/power forward Al Horford had the task of dealing with center Karl-Anthony Towns on Friday. Horford struggled in 31 minutes, scoring only seven points on 3-for-9 shooting. He made an impact in other areas, grabbing five boards, while dishing out eight assists in the win. Big Al came up big on defense, too, […]

Aron Baynes Posts Double-Double in Win

Boston Celtics center Aron Baynes battled with Minnesota center Karl-Anthony Towns, who had 25 points and 23 rebounds on Friday, but could only hope to contain him. Baynes didn't fare too bad himself, scoring 11 points with 10 rebounds in 26 minutes. Center Al Horford didn't play very well in this one, so Baynes got […]

Nikola Jokic Struggles Shooting Friday

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic had a very inefficient game on Friday night against the Utah Jazz. Jokic scored eight points, shooting 3-for-13 from the field. The Joker also grabbed 10 boards and dished out four assists to add to the stat line. Jokic has averaged 4.7 assists but only 0.9 blocks a game this season. […]

Enes Kanter Puts up 14 and Eight with Defensive Stats

New York Knicks center Enes Kanter picked it up slightly on Friday, dropping 14 points on the Heat on a very efficient 6-for-7 from the field. Kanter failed to get the double-double but was close with eight rebounds on the night. He surprised his owners with some defense in this one, picking up two steals […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Balls Out Friday Night

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns had an amazing game Friday going up against the Boston Celtics. Towns scored 25 points, going 9-for-16 from the floor, and also hit all six free throw attempts as well. Towns also pulled down 23 rebounds and had two blocks to round out the game against the Celtics. This was […]

Mets Have Had Contact With Jonathan Lucroy

The New York Mets have had contact with free-agent Jonathan Lucroy. The Mets are more interested in adding infielders and outfielders, so Lucroy probably isn't a high priority. He hasn't been a high priority for any teams this offseason after disappointing with a .265 average, six home runs and 40 RBI in 123 games between […]

Tyson Chandler Will Start Against Spurs

Phoenix Suns center Tyson Chandler (rest) will start at center against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday. Chandler was rested in Wednesday's loss to the Denver Nuggets. He's back in the starting lineup, and is averaging 6.0 points, 10.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 26.9 minutes in his last five starts. Chandler back in the […]

Andre Drummond is Questionable on Friday

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond (ribs) is questionable to play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday. He was forced to miss Wednesday's contest, and Drummond is likely looking at a game-time decision for Friday's matchup. Owners will likely need to wait until head coach Stan Van Gundy addresses the media prior to tip-off for an […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/5/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

You know what we deserve after a two game slate? Double digit games and good matchups. Tonight, we're getting both as there are 10 games across the Association. As usual, tip (and thus, FanDuel lock) is at 7pm EST. Two-thirds of the games are taking place in the Eastern or Central time zones, meaning we […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/5/18): NBA DFS Lineups

There were only two games last night, but that opens up a big slate for tonight. We have 10 games, which gives up a solid amount of players to choose from. There is no right or wrong way for lineup construction tonight, although I'm leaning more towards mid-priced options at this point. In this article, […]

NBA DFS Risers/Fallers for Week 12

I hope you've all survived your New Year's hangovers and aren't having too much trouble in shaking the cobwebs out of your brain as you return to work. Most importantly, though, I hope you're ready for another week of Association hoops. A lot of price changes around the league as players return from injuries (Isiah Thomas, […]

Draymond Green Posts Triple-Double Against Houston

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green did it all against the Houston Rockets. Green played 38 solid minutes in the 124-114 win on Thursday, scoring 17 points. He also pulled down 14 rebounds and dished out 10 assists in addition to some adequate defensive numbers, finishing the night with two steals and a block. Though […]
