DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/22/22): NBA DFS Lineups

We only have two games in the Association because the NFL loves the attention on Thursday nights. We have the Spurs heading east on I-10 to face the Pelicans and Washington heading out to Utah to take on the upstart Jazz. We know that Brandon Ingram is still out and that Keldon Johnson likely won't […]

Rudy Gobert To Suit Up On Wednesday Evening

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ankle) will suit up for Wednesday's meeting with Dallas after missing his previous three games. With the defensive specialist back on the floor, Naz Reid will head back to the bench, so he'll lose some fantasy appeal. Although Gobert could see fewer minutes in his first game back from the […]

Domantas Sabonis, Harrison Barnes Questionable Wednesday

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (hand) and small forward Harrison Barnes (quad) have been deemed questionable to play in Wednesday's game vs. the Lakers. Sabonis logged 41 minutes and a season-high 23 rebounds Monday, so when his malady cropped up is uncertain. Barnes has started every game this season for Sacramento, proving to be a […]

Anton Lundell Back For Florida Wednesday

Florida Panthers center Anton Lundell (upper body) is ready to return from a nine-game absence Wednesday against New Jersey. He battled an illness at the start of the month and was then also sidelined by an upper-body injury. However, Lundell is good to go now, and he is returning at a great time for the […]

Denis Malgin Making His Avalanche Debut On Wednesday

Colorado Avalanche forward Denis Malgin will make his team debut in Wednesday's matchup against Montreal. He joined the defending Stanley Cup champions on Monday via a trade with Toronto that sent Dryden Hunt the other way.

Jusuf Nurkic Earns Questionable Tag For Wednesday’s Game

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (calf) has been deemed questionable to play in Wednesday's contest vs. Oklahoma City due to a sore right calf. Nurkic was unavailable Monday, paving the way for Drew Eubanks to draw a start and post a solid nine-point, seven-rebound performance. If Nurkic is ultimately cleared, he will have a […]

James Wiseman Picks Up Questionable Tag For Wednesday

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (thumb) has been deemed questionable to suit up for Wednesday's contest vs. the Nets due to a sprained left thumb. Wiseman logged a season-best 22 minutes Tuesday but was held to just four points and three rebounds, while accruing five fouls. Injuries have given a stop/start nature to Wiseman's […]

Rudy Gobert Could Miss Another Game Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Dallas. He has missed three games with a left ankle sprain and it looks like he still hasn't fully recovered. Gobert's injury has been great news for Naz Reid, who has managed to explode for a couple of big games as […]

Dwight Powell Available Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks center Dwight Powell (thigh) is ready to return to action Wednesday versus Minnesota. He has been sidelined for the past two games with a left thigh contusion. Christian Wood has picked up a pair of starts in his absence and could now head back to the bench, although with Dorian Finney-Smith (groin) out, […]

Kelly Olynyk Remains Out Tuesday

Utah Jazz center Kelly Olynyk (ankle) will miss his second straight game Tuesday against the Detroit Pistons. Olynyk is dealing with an ankle sprain and the Jazz have no incentive to rush him back. Walker Kessler will continue to start alongside Jarred Vanderbilt while Rudy Gay should pick up some extra minutes off the bench. […]

Kristaps Porzingis Given The Late Questionable Tag On Tuesday

Washington Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) was tagged as questionable late into the afternoon on Tuesday before tipoff.

New York Rangers forward Filip Chytil (upper body) is expected to be in the lineup Tuesday against Pittsburgh.

Jonathan Kuminga Probable Against Knicks On Tuesday

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) has received the probable tag for the team's Tuesday night contest against the New York Knicks.

Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron exploded for four points in Monday's 7-3 triumph over Florida, tallying two goals and two assists. Half of his points came with the man advantage.

Nic Dowd Back In Action With Three Points

Washington Capitals center Nic Dowd returned from a one-game absence and had a big three-point performance in Monday's 4-3 overtime win against Detroit.

New Orleans Pelicans center Jonas Valanciunas had by far the most productive performance of the season Monday against the Bucks, scoring 37 points and posting 18 rebounds, five assists and one steal in 37 minutes.
