DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/12/22): Preseason NBA DFS Lineups
Well, folks, I believe it was Boyz 2 Men who said it best back in 1992 - I am afraid "we've come to the end of the road." We have an eight-game slate tonight with several teams wrapping up their preseason schedule. Tomorrow, there are only two games and then Friday there are NINE, and […]
Nico Hischier Returns To Practice
New Jersey Devils center Nico Hischier (hamstring) was back at practice on Tuesday, but he still remains questionable for Thursday's season opener against Philadelphia. Getting back to practice is a big step towards returning to the lineup, but at the same time, Hischier skated for just half an hour and he will need to be […]
John Tavares Set To Play Wednesday
Toronto Maple Leafs center John Tavares (oblique) is expected to be in the lineup for Wednesday's season opener against Montreal. His status for the game had been uncertain ever since he suffered an oblique strain during the preseason, but the Maple Leafs captain has been quick in his recovery. Tavares has been a full participant […]
Hawks Exercise Option For Onyeka Okongwu
Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu had his fourth-year option picked up by the team on Tuesday. The 21-year-old big man registered 8.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 1.3 blocks while playing 20.7 minutes per game last season. His averages increased to 10.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 2.2 blocks per game in his […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/11/22): Preseason NBA DFS Lineups
These slates are never all that easy to solve and we can see them get turned on their head rather quickly. Yesterday, after I finished writing in the morning we saw Joel Embiid ruled out, and then Miami decide to rest all of their core players, too. Just make sure if you haven't already you […]

Giants Hire Pete Putila As General Manager Monday
The San Francisco Giants hired Houston Astros assistant general manager Pete Putila as the team's new general manager, president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi announced Monday. Putlia will replace Scott Harris, who held the position from 2019 through 2022. Zaidi praised Putila's strong experience in player development and evaluation, as the Giants currently have one […]
Mason Plumlee Exits Early On Monday
Charlotte Hornets center Mason Plumlee (foot) was unable to finish Monday's preseason matchup against the Washington Wizards. The big man reportedly suffered a left foot sprain and was unable to return to action. The severity of the injury is unknown at the moment. P.J. Williams, Nick Richards and Mark Williams would all see a boost […]
Kristaps Porzingis Tweaks Ankle On Monday
Washington Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) wasn't able to finish Monday's preseason contest against the Charlotte Hornets. The big man tweaked his ankle early in the third quarter and didn't return to the contest. The Wizards were likely just being cautious and didn't want to risk his health in a meaningless game. Porzingis was fantastic […]
Billy Eppler's, Buck Showalter's Jobs Are Safe
New York Mets general manager Billy Eppler's and manager Buck Showalter's jobs are safe, according to a high-ranking team source. The Mets may still look to hire a president of baseball operations, but that's considered a long-term initiative that doesn't necessarily need to be implemented this offseason. The Mets blew a 10 1/2-game lead in […]
Phillies Sign Manager Rob Thomson To Two-Year Deal
The Philadelphia Phillies signed manager Rob Thomson to a two-year contract for the 2023 and 2024 seasons on Monday, according to president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski. Thompson is well-deserving after leading the Phillies to a Wild-Card Series win over the St. Louis Cardinals last weekend, the club's first playoff series win since 2010. The […]
Cubs Will Extend Qualifying Offer To Willson Contreras
Chicago Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer said the team will "definitely" give catcher Willson Contreras a qualifying offer this winter, as expected. Contreras will almost certainly decline the qualifying offer and enter free agency in search of a long-term contract elsewhere. It was a surprise that he wasn't traded at the Aug. 2 deadline during […]
Karl-Anthony Towns Gets Back Into Action
Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (illness) made his preseason debut against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. He has been slowly ramping up his activities after missing time due to a serious illness. Towns looked solid here as he connected on 5-of-11 shots from the field. He finished with 19 points, six rebounds, and six […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/10/22): Preseason NBA DFS Lineups
My buddy Kyle Ringstad was holding it down for me yesterday and dropped some great picks for last night's slate in this piece yesterday. We have only four games tonight and just a few more nights of NBA preseason as teams will wrap up camp on Friday and our first regular season action is only […]
Nikola Jokic Doubtful For Monday's Preseason Contest
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (wrist) is considered doubtful to play in Monday's preseason contest against the Phoenix Suns. He underwent an MRI on Friday and the team isn't concerned about a long term injury. The Nuggets are likely just being cautious here, so fantasy managers shouldn't be worried. DeAndre Jordan will likely start again […]
Montrezl Harrell Misses Sunday's Practice
Philadelphia 76ers center Montrezl Harrell (ribs) was unable to suit up for Sunday's practice. It sounds like he's dealing with a minor ribs issue, but it shouldn't be something that sidelines him for very long. Harrell is currently the third string center behind Joel Embiid and Paul Reed. He signed a two-year deal with the […]
T.J. Oshie Waiting For Medical Clearance
Washington Capitals forward T.J. Oshie (upper body) is expected to be ready for the team's season opener on Wednesday against Boston, but he has yet to receive medical clearance. Oshie was hurt in a preseason game earlier in the week and it left his status for the Bruins game uncertain. However, he was a full […]
Marco Rossi Finishes As Preseason's Top Scorer
Minnesota Wild center Marco Rossi finished the preseason as the league's top scorer, compiling nine points in six outings. He capped things off with an assist in Saturday's preseason finale against Dallas. The talented Austrian managed seven helpers in total during the preseason and scored two goals on just nine shots. The 21-year-old has brought […]

Fantasy Basketball Risers, Rookies and Draft Sleepers (Southwest Division) - Luka Doncic, Ja Morant, Zion Williamson, Jabari Smith
The regular season is inching closer by the day, and most offseason moves have already been completed – barring a surprising Russell Westbrook trade, or the pending Jae Crowder deal when/if Phoenix finds a proper partner before tip-off day. Each team's depth chart is mostly complete, so it makes sense to start analyzing how it […]
DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (10/9/22): MLB DFS Lineups
And then there were two. Two left playing anyway. The Mets and Padres are the only teams that went all three games in the new Wild Card Round. For showdown mode on DraftKings, we pick one captain who costs 1.5x his normal salary, but he also scores 1.5x the points. We must have at least […]
Jaxson Hayes Suffers Torn UCL
New Orleans Pelicans forward Jaxson Hayes (elbow) suffered a torn UCL in his left elbow during Friday's preseason outing versus Detroit. He will miss at least two weeks before being re-evaluated. The 22-year-old is coming off his best season as a professional, finishing with averages of 9.3 points and 4.5 rebounds. However, he shot a […]
Pierre-Luc Dubois Should Be Good To Go On Friday
Winnipeg Jets center Pierre-Luc Dubois isn't expected to miss any game time after exiting Friday's preseason tilt against Calgary with a lower-body injury. According to head coach Rick Bowness, Dubois was removed from the game for precautionary reasons. The talented centerman had a short-lived but productive night on Friday, scoring twice despite logging only 5:09 […]
Clayton Keller Sits Out Another Preseason Tilt
Arizona Coyotes forward Clayton Keller (leg) will once again be absent on Saturday against Vegas, but he is expected to roll out in the team's season opener on Thursday against Pittsburgh. Keller, who hasn't played since fracturing his leg on March 30, was expected to end his lengthy absence on Friday against Vancouver, but he […]
Nathan MacKinnon Picks Up An Injury In Practice
Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon wasn't able to finish Saturday's practice after tweaking something. Head coach Jared Bednar has announced that his star man should be considered day-to-day. It's quite a scare for fantasy managers, but it appears that the injury isn't serious and MacKinnon still has every chance to feature in the team's season […]
