Rudy Gobert Returns On Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (illness) will be available for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The big man sat out on Friday due to a non-COVID related illness. Luckily, Gobert is feeling good enough to play on Saturday. His return will shift Naz Reid back to the bench where his value will likely take […]

Leon Draisaitl Questionable For Saturday

Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) is regarded as questionable for Saturday's tilt against Winnipeg. He missed his first game of the season Friday versus Seattle and could now sit out another one. An unspecified injury has paused Draisaitl's spectacular season, with the German superstar being second on the league's scoring charts with 57 points […]

Nick Schmaltz Dealing With An Upper-Body Injury

Arizona Coyotes forward Nick Schmaltz is nursing an upper-body injury and is listed as day-to-day. He was injured Thursday versus Toronto and wasn't able to recover in time for Saturday's game against Tampa Bay. Schmaltz also missed the start of the campaign and has skated in just 19 games so far. He has done well […]

Nathan MacKinnon Cleared For Action

Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon (upper body) has been activated from Injured Reserve and is set to rejoin the lineup Saturday against Toronto. Nate the Great hasn't played since Dec. 5, missing 11 games. He looked spectacular on the ice whilst healthy, notching eight goals and 34 points in 23 games. The five-time All-Star is […]

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Tallies Four Assists In Friday's Win

Edmonton Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins helped to set up four goals in Friday's 7-2 win over the Kraken, with two of his assists coming on the power play.

Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid erupted for a huge performance Friday against Seattle, logging his eighth career five-point game in a 7-2 win. He already had three assists within the first 10 minutes of the game and went on to add one more helper while also scoring the final goal of the contest. The Oilers […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/31/22): NBA DFS Lineups

It's New Year's Eve, and I can't think of a better day to make some money with daily fantasy basketball contests. The matchups are reasonably evenly spread in terms of their fantasy appeal tonight. Still, there is a clear tier break in the implied totals after the Nets-Hornets, Pelicans-Grizzlies, Mavericks-Spurs, and Pistons-Timberwolves matchups. The Nets, […]

Nikola Jokic Maneuvers His Way To Another Triple-Double

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic came through with his fourth triple-double in seven games on Friday, pushing the team past Miami in a 124-119 victory. He finished with a 19-12-12 line, shooting 8-for-15 from the field and 2-for-3 from downtown. In 36 minutes on the floor, Jokic was also able to add one steal and […]

Kristaps Porzingis Has A Big Game Against Orlando

Washington Wizards forward/center Kristaps Porzingis had a very good outing against the Magic on Friday, leading all scorers with 30 points and adding 13 rebounds, two assists, one steal and four blocks in a 119-100 victory. He shot 9-for-13 from the field, including 3-for-6 from deep, and had a 9-for-11 record at the foul line. […]

Thomas Bryant Has A Big Night Against Atlanta

Los Angeles Lakers center Thomas Bryant played well in Friday's win over the Atlanta Hawks. The big man helped LeBron James celebrate his birthday by amassing a double-double, courtesy of a 19-point, 17-rebound effort. Anthony Davis (foot) is out for the foreseeable future, meaning Bryant should continue to fill his spot in the lineup. He […]

Jack Hughes Strikes Twice In Devils Win

New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes lit the lamp two times in a 4-2 win over the Penguins Friday. Hughes has had a phenomenal season, netting 18 goals and 21 assists in 35 Devils contests. The Orlando, Florida, native has logged four goals and one assist in the last five games. New Jersey is 2-7-1 […]

James Wiseman Misses Friday's Action

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (ankle) hasn't been able to shake off a questionable tag and will miss Friday's meeting with Portland. The talented big man is nursing a left ankle sprain. Wiseman had a big 30-point outing against Brooklyn last week, but it's not been a fun campaign overall for him, and being […]

Jusuf Nurkic Sits Out Friday

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (illness) has been ruled out of Friday's meeting with the Warriors. There's been an interesting turn of events, as Nurkic was initially on the injury report with a calf problem and the team considered him probable for the game, but he has now been ruled out with a non-COVID […]

Larry Nance Jr. Ruled Out For Friday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (neck) has been officially ruled out of Friday's matchup against Philadelphia. There has a possibility of him being available, with the team initially regarding him as doubtful for the contest, but Nance Jr. hasn't been able to shake off a neck problem. His absence should open up more […]

Gary Trent Jr., Christian Koloko Earn Starts Friday

Toronto Raptors shooting guard/small forward Gary Trent Jr. and center Christian Koloko have been elevated to the starting lineup for Friday's contest against the Suns. With Fred VanVleet (back) unavailable, Toronto will look to shuffle its starting group after having Scottie Barnes and Pascal Siakam serve as de facto point guards Thursday. While Trent will […]

Rudy Gobert Will Miss Friday’s Contest

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Milwaukee due to an illness. Naz Reid stands to draw significant DFS appeal without Gobert in the mix, as the fourth-year big man has averaged 21.7 points and 8.3 rebounds across three starts this season. The absence of Gobert on the […]

Leon Draisaitl In Danger Of Missing Friday's Game

Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) is in doubt for Friday's contest against Seattle. He missed the team's pre-flight practice on Thursday and Draisaitl wasn't at Friday's optional morning skate, either. If he can't go, Draisaitl would miss only his third regular-season game since the start of 2020-21. Having good health is very useful for […]

Fred VanVleet, Precious Achiuwa Will Miss Friday’s Contest

Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet (back) and power forward/center Precious Achiuwa (ankle) have been ruled out for Friday's game against the Suns. VanVleet will miss his second consecutive outing, paving the way for Malachi Flynn to become a highly targeted DFS option due to his low price tag. Achiuwa has been sidelined since Nov. […]

Reggie Jackson, Nicolas Batum Questionable For Saturday

LA Clippers point guard Reggie Jackson (Achilles) and power forward/center Nicolas Batum (ankle) have both earned questionable designations ahead of Saturday's contest vs. Indiana. Jackson has been a staple of LA's starting five this year, while Batum is the lone member of the roster to appear in all 37 contests. An absence from Jackson would […]

Larry Nance Jr. Unlikely To Suit Up For Friday’s Contest

New Orleans Pelicans power forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (neck) has been tagged as doubtful to play in Friday's game against Philadelphia due to neck spasms. Nance has seen both his minutes and offensive usage slide over the previous two outings, including his second scoreless appearance of the month Wednesday. While Jaxson Hayes could see an […]

James Wiseman Picks Up Questionable Tag For Friday

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (ankle) has been deemed questionable to participate in Friday's contest vs. Portland due to a sprained left ankle. Wiseman has played sparingly over the prior three outings, but he erupted for a career-high 30 points Dec. 21 while coming off the bench. Wiseman has spent time in the G […]

Marvin Bagley III Will Return To Action Friday

Detroit Pistons center Marvin Bagley III (illness) has been given the green light to get back onto the floor for Friday's game vs. Chicago. Bagley had missed Detroit's previous two outings due to an illness. In his absence, Jalen Duren has further emerged as a rebounding dynamo alongside Isaiah Stewart in the frontcourt; for now, […]

Jusuf Nurkic Downgraded To Questionable On Friday

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (calf) was originally listed as probable for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors but has since been downgraded to questionable. He was listed as probable in their last game and had one of his best games of the season. With him trending in the wrong direction, however, the […]

Rudy Gobert Tagged As Questionable For Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (illness) is suffering from a non-COVID illness and the team has listed him as questionable for their contest against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday. The French big man was a late addition to the injury report which doesn't bode well for his chances to play. If he is sidelined, Naz […]

Myles Turner Swats Six Shots On Thursday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner anchored the defense as well as anyone could have asked for, while the team upset the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 26-year-old big man finished with 14 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, and six blocks as he shot 6-for-11 from the floor and 2-for-4 from beyond the arc. Turner is third in […]

Tomas Hertl Has A Three-Point Night Thursday

San Jose Sharks center Tomas Hertl factored in all of the team's goals in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to Philadelphia, scoring twice and recording one assist. He helped the team to grab a 3-1 lead, but the Flyers found a way to extend the game and eventually won it. Hertl reached three points in a […]
