Jusuf Nurkic Likely Out Until After All-Star Break

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (calf) is expected to remain sidelined until after the All-Star break. The veteran continues to deal with a nagging calf issue.

The NBA spoils us as this is the second consecutive Saturday where we've been treated to a full slate of NBA games. We'll take what we can get. However, Saturdays can be tricky with coaches deciding to rest key players, so keep your eyes peeled on the news and injury updates. We have a handful […]

Mo Bamba Among FIve Players Ejected

Orlando Magic center Mo Bamba was among five players who got ejected from Friday's matchup versus the Timberwolves. He got into a fight with Minnesota's Austin Rivers late in the third quarter and a big tussle broke out on the court which involved several players. Jaden McDaniels and Taurean Prince from the Timberwolves and Jalen […]

Rudy Gobert Back On Friday Night

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (groin) will play on Friday against Orlando. He's been in and out of the lineup of late because of a groin strain, recently missing Wednesday's matchup versus the Golden State Warriors. However, Gobert is good to go and could thrive against a Magic team that won't have Wendell Carter Jr. […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Out Versus Minnesota

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (foot) is out on Friday against Minnesota. Carter is currently battling a right foot plantar fascia strain, so he could miss more games beyond Friday night. In the meantime, Mo Bamba will enter the starting lineup, with the 24-year-old averaging 10.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in five […]

Anthony Davis Expected To Suit Up Versus New Orleans

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (foot) is expected to play on Saturday versus the Pelicans. The 29-year-old will likely remain a fixture on the league's official injury report moving ahead after missing over a month because of a foot ailment. However, he should be good to go, so fantasy managers can plan on having […]

Drew Eubanks Starting Versus Washington

Portland Trail Blazers forward/center Drew Eubanks will start on Friday night versus the Washington Wizards. Jusuf Nurkic (calf) won't suit up, so Eubanks will take his place in the lineup. The 26-year-old has averaged 7.7 points and 6.8 rebounds in six starts this season. However, he'll be entering this one fresh off an 11-point, 11-rebound […]

Nikola Jokic Questionable Again On Saturday

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with the Atlanta Hawks. The multi-time MVP continues to battle left hamstring tightness, an ailment that's kept him off the court sporadically over the last few weeks. With Denver playing back-to-back meetings over the weekend, it wouldn't be a surprise if Jokic misses at […]

Christian Wood Targeting Next Week For Return

Dallas Mavericks forward Christian Wood (thumb) participated in his first full practice since fracturing his thumb on Friday, and he said he's ready to go. He likely won't play in Saturday's contest against the Golden State Warriors, so that means either Monday or Wednesday will be his better chances to return to the court. Wood […]

Bam Adebayo Scores 32 Points In Losing Effort

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo enjoyed a great scoring night despite not being able to grab the win over the New York Knicks on Thursday night. He ended with 32 points, nine rebounds, three assists, two steals, and one block on 11-for-16 shooting and 10-for-11 from the free throw line. The All-Star big man has […]

Anthony Davis Pushes Lakers To One-Point Win

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis led the team in both points and rebounds as they took home a one-point victory over the Indiana Pacers on Thursday. The 29-year-old registered 31 points, 14 rebounds, two assists, one steal, and two blocks while shooting 13-for-27 from the floor and 5-for-5 from the charity stripe. The Lakers […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Shreds The Clippers For 54 Points

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo went crazy on the Los Angeles Clippers during their one-point win on Thursday night. The Greek Freak dropped 54 points on 21-for-39 shooting while adding two threes and 10-for-15 from the line. He also chipped in 19 rebounds and two assists in the process. While his turnovers are at an […]

Jusuf Nurkic Out Again With Calf Issue

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (calf) re-aggravated his calf strain on Wednesday and was forced to exit the game after only two minutes on the court. This calf issue has forced him to miss a couple of games so far and it's likely they'll take it slower with his return this time around. Drew […]

Pull%: Using Sabermetrics for 2023 Fantasy Baseball

We have previously determined that fantasy managers generally prefer batters to hit the ball into the air to have a chance at a home run. Yet, all fly balls are not equal for this purpose. A player can maximize his power production by pulling the ball in the air. One way to illustrate this is […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Doubtful For Thursday's Action

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (thigh) is doubtful for Thursday's game against Cleveland. The Grizzlies are finishing off a back-to-back situation and the team might elect to rest Jackson Jr., who has a sore right thigh. The 23-year-old had another productive game against Portland on Wednesday and has turned into a big piece for […]

Anthony Davis Considered Probable For Thursday's Game

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (foot) is probable for Thursday's game against Indiana. The Brow has played in three of four games since returning from a right foot injury, and with this matchup not being part of a back-to-back, we can fully expect to see him on the court. The Lakers have been slowly […]

Carolina Hurricanes forward Jesperi Kotkaniemi had his third multi-point game of the season Wednesday versus Buffalo, collecting two assists in a big 5-1 win.

Tage Thompson Exits With Injury

Buffalo Sabres forward Tage Thompson exited Wednesday's matchup against Carolina with an upper-body injury. He lasted for two periods and a little over 11 minutes in the contest, going scoreless and finishing with a minus-one rating. Thompson, who is Buffalo's top scorer with 68 points in 50 games, was already carrying an upper-body injury ahead […]

Boston Bruins centerman Pavel Zacha stepped up in a big way during the team's recent match against the Toronto Maple Leafs, netting two goals to lock in the win for the Bruins.

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/2/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We have our busiest Thursday of the season so far with seven games going on. Memphis and Golden State are on the tail end of back-to-back sets. I don't really see Memphis sitting players because of the injuries they have anyway, but keep a close eye on Curry, Klay, and Draymond tonight. Don't be surprised […]

David Krejci Pockets Assist Wednesday

Boston Bruins forward David Krejci had a strong outing in their recent 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs. He logged one assist, two hits, and one shot on goal while recording one blocked shot and two additional hits. Krejci's contributions helped secure the victory for the Bruins. The veteran centerman is having a great season […]

Jusuf Nurkic Leaves Due To Injury

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (calf) has been ruled out for the rest of Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The big man re-aggravated his calf injury that caused him to miss time last week. Nurkic played two minutes before exiting the game due to left calf soreness. At this point, it's uncertain if […]

Xavier Tillman Sr. To Start Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. will get the starting nod over Brandon Clarke on Wednesday. The Grizzlies face off against Jusuf Nurkic and the Portland Trail Blazers, and Memphis has opted to start Tillman due to the matchup. If this is the trend moving forward, we could see a rotating center spot between Tillman […]
