Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller produced two goals as the team snuck past Anaheim in overtime 3-2 Wednesday night.

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/9/23): NBA DFS Lineups

This six-game slate is already loaded with out and questionable tags. The good news is that I can point you to some early values, but the uncertainty surrounding some of the higher-priced guards is going to keep us guessing until tipoff. The NBA wouldn't have it any other way, right? With both FanDuel and DraftKings […]

Jalen Duren Expected To Return On Thursday

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) is listed as probable ahead of Thursday's battle with the Charlotte Hornets. The 19-year-old missed the last six games because of bilateral ankle soreness, opening the door for James Wiseman to enter the starting rotation. Although Wiseman's fantasy ceiling will drop once Duren is officially cleared, the rookie may […]

Nicolas Claxton Ruled Out Ahead Of Thursday Night

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (thumb/heel) has been ruled out of Thursday's game versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Claxton appears to be dealing with a couple injuries, but the Nets are entering a back-to-back set and have already ruled out multiple players. With Claxton unable to go, newly acquired Nerlens Noel may end up in the […]

Kevin Love Officially Available Wednesday

Miami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (rib) will play Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Love was upgraded from questionable to probable so this comes as no surprise as he returns to face his former team. Love is expected to regain his starting spot while Caleb Martin should see a dip in fantasy value.

Jusuf Nurkic Will Make Return Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (calf) will play Wednesday versus the Boston Celtics. Nurkic has missed the past five weeks dealing with a calf strain, but has been cleared to play. Nurkic will likely resume his starting role which would send Drew Eubanks to the bench. Given the length of absence, it would not […]

Zion Williamson Out At Least Two More Weeks

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Zion Williamson (hamstring) will remain out for at least the next two weeks. Williamson suffered a setback in his recovery from a hamstring injury and does not appear close to returning. For fantasy managers in the heat of the fantasy playoffs, Williamson should be a safe drop. Trey Murphy III and […]

Pierre-Luc Dubois A Game-Time Call Wednesday

Winnipeg Jets center Pierre-Luc Dubois (lower body) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against Minnesota. He returned from a three-game absence Monday versus San Jose, but a lower-body injury continues to bother Dubois and it looks like he could be out again Wednesday. The 24-year-old has gone scoreless in all of his past four […]

Maxi Kleber Won't Play On Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (hamstring) will sit out Wednesday's contest against New Orleans. He's just come back from a serious hamstring injury and the team will give him a night off after Kleber played 26 minutes Tuesday versus Utah. With JaVale McGee (ankle) remaining out and Reggie Bullock (quadriceps) unlikely to play after getting […]

Kevin Love Upgraded To Probable Wednesday

Miami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (ribs) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Cleveland. He missed Monday's clash with Atlanta due to a right rib contusion and the team initially listed Love as questionable for Wednesday. The veteran has suited up for Miami six times since joining the club on Feb. 24, […]

Vlatko Cancar Questionable Once Again

Denver Nuggets forward/center Vlatko Cancar (wrist) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Chicago. He was also questionable ahead of Monday's contest against Toronto but missed a second consecutive game. The Nuggets have gotten some really solid minutes out of Cancar over the second half of the season. He posted 8.7 points, 3.2 rebounds […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/8/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a relatively modest slate by Wednesday standards, as there are seven games on tap. Much like Monday's six-game ledger, that number of contests could be considered a perfect middle ground for those who are looking to have an easy time differentiating for tournaments without being presented with an untenable amount of decisions. The […]

Joel Embiid Takes Down T-Wolves With 39 Points

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid turned in another big performance on Tuesday night as his co-star, James Harden (foot), rested on the sidelines. The 28-year-old finished with 39 points, seven rebounds, four assists, one steal, and three blocks while shooting 13-for-22 from the floor and 4-for-4 from beyond the arc. He didn't need as many […]

Larry Nance Jr. Listed As Questionable With Ankle Sprain

New Orleans Pelicans forward Larry Nance Jr. (ankle) has been tagged as questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Dallas Mavericks. The 30-year-old has missed the team's last four games and is now in danger of missing a fifth. His fantasy value has been quickly sinking before the injury anyway as he was ranked as low […]

Sidney Crosby Closes Three-Point Show With Game-Winner

Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby finished off his 169th career three-point game with the game-winning goal as his crew beat Columbus 5-4 in overtime Tuesday. No. 87 produced two assists in the third period before wrapping things up with a power-play goal in the extra frame. He is now tied with Paul Coffey for the […]

Evgeni Malkin Delivers Three Assists In Comeback Victory

Pittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin had three assists as the team produced a hugely impressive comeback victory on Tuesday against Columbus.

Keep It Simple, Stupid - Finding Homers and Strikeouts Throughout the Draft

Rotisserie fantasy baseball is a complex game. The best players give equal attention to each category, build balanced teams, and then prune their teams effectively throughout the year. Not everybody has the time for that though - and it's a lot easier said than done. Sometimes we can do just fine focusing in on the […]

Henry Davis Assigned To Minor-League Camp Tuesday

Pittsburgh Pirates catching prospect Henry Davis was one of the players assigned to the team's Minor League camp on Tuesday. This is not surprising, as the 23-year-old only reached Double-A Altoona last season while dealing with a left wrist injury. When he did play, Davis slashed .207/.324/.379 with four home runs, 18 RBI, and three […]

Robert Williams III Dealing With Hamstring Injury

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (hamstring) won't play in Wednesday's game versus Portland. He tweaked his hamstring during the loss to Brooklyn on Friday night and missed the next two games against the Knicks and Cavaliers. Head coach Joe Mazzulla stated he would be out for at least a week to 10 days. However, […]

Jusuf Nurkic Officially Questionable For Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (calf) is questionable to play against the Boston Celtics Wednesday. Nurkic has not played in over a month after suffered a calf strain, but the questionable tag seems to imply he is making some progress towards his return. If Nurkic is able to play, Drew Eubanks will likely move […]

Kevin Love Questionable Versus Cavs

Miami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (rib) is questionable to play Wednesday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. Love missed last game with a rib contusion but has a chance to play against his former team for the first time since his buyout. Love was originally probable on Monday before being downgraded to out, but the Heat have […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Has No Timetable To Return

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) remains out and has no timetable to return. Head coach Chris Finch relayed Towns has entered the "final stages" of his recovery and is doing some basketball activities, but there is not timeline for Towns to return to game action.

Walker Kessler Will Sit Tuesday With Illness

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus the Dallas Mavericks. Kessler will be sidelined due to a non-COVID illness after being listed as questionable to play. With Kessler out, the Jazz should turn to Kelly Olynyk and Damian Jones to pick up the extra minutes at center. Rudy […]

Jalen Duren Will Remain Out On Tuesday Against Wizards

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) will sit out a sixth consecutive game as he deals with ankle soreness. The last time he was able to play was back on February 23, but it looks like the team will be cautious with any pain that their rookie center is experiencing. While he remains out, Marvin […]

Ryan O'Reilly Ruled Out For Four Weeks

Toronto Maple Leafs center Ryan O'Reilly (finger) will need four weeks to recover after undergoing surgery to repair a broken index finger. After picking up the injury against Vancouver on Saturday, Toronto hoped to get O'Reilly back for the playoffs, but he should also be able to feature in the final few regular-season games for […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Will Remain Sidelined On Tuesday

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (hip) will not play on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks despite originally being listed as questionable. His left hip issue will force him to miss at least one more game and that means Moritz Wagner will likely stay in the starting five. Carter has had a rough go of […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Will Be Sidelined On Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) has been ruled out of Tuesday's contest against the Orlando Magic due to a non-COVID illness. The 28-year-old was able to play in their last game on Sunday when he registered 23 points, nine rebounds, 13 assists, and three blocks across 36 minutes. So, this seemingly comes as more […]

Sam Huff Returns On Monday

Texas Rangers catcher Sam Huff (shoulder) returned to Cactus League play on Monday night in the 4-1 loss to the Colorado Rockies, walking in his only plate appearance. He also caught two innings in the contest. Huff suffered a right shoulder injury in a Cactus League game last Wednesday against the San Diego Padres. The […]
