DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/22/21): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a smaller Wednesday slate with six games, and with COVID running rampant in the Association, there are better players out than actually on the court. This is where tournaments get really, really interesting. Lock is a bit later than normal at 7:30 Eastern tonight when Boston hosts Cleveland and a beleaguered Hawks team […]

Robert Williams III Comes Off Injury Report For Wednesday

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (personal) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest against Cleveland. Williams was unavailable for Monday's loss due to personal reasons, but he should be a full-go for Wednesday, likely bumping Enes Freedom back to the second unit. Williams has been limited to just 24 minutes […]

Cole Anthony, Wendell Carter Jr. Questionable For Wednesday

Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (ankle) and power forward/center Wendell Carter Jr. (leg) have been listed as questionable to suit up for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Richaun Holmes Draws Questionable Tag For Wednesday

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (eye) remains questionable to play in Wednesday's game against the Clippers as he works through an eye ailment. Holmes has missed each of the Kings' past seven contests, allowing a dearth of frontcourt members to see an elevated workload, with Tristan Thompson being the latest. Holmes will have played in […]

Aaron Gordon, JaMychal Green Questionable To Play Wednesday

Denver Nuggets small/power forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and power forward/center JaMychal Green (ankle) have been deemed questionable to suit up for Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City. Gordon has yet to miss a contest this season, while Green has been sidelined for the past three outings with a sprained right ankle. An absence from either member […]

Scottie Barnes, Precious Achiuwa Enter COVID-19 Protocols

Toronto Raptors power forward Scottie Barnes and center Precious Achiuwa have entered the league's health and safety protocols, ruling them out indefinitely. Toronto is the latest team to deal with an outbreak of positive COVID-19 tests on their roster, as the team has had two games cancelled within the past week. Currently, the Raptors are […]

Christian Wood Draws Questionable Tag For Wednesday

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (knee) has been deemed questionable to suit up for Wednesday's contest against the Bucks due to left knee tendinitis. Wood was forced to the sidelines for two games last week due to the same issue, so there is cause for concern for fantasy managers as it pertains to his status. […]

Damian Lillard, Jusuf Nurkic Will Suit Up Tuesday

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard (hamstring) and center Jusuf Nurkic (rib) have both received the green light to play in Tuesday's game against the Pelicans. Lillard has begun to find his All-NBA rhythm over the past five contests, averaging 30.2 points per game, while knocking down 22 triples in total. Nurkic has started […]

Kristaps Porzingis Sitting Out On Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Mavericks were already without three of their starters due to protocols. That being said, Dwight Powell and Boban Marjanovic will handle most of the frontcourt duties. Powell has a little more upside, but neither of them are […]

Martin Necas Dealing With A Concussion

Carolina Hurricanes forward Martin Necas has been put in concussion protocol after he made an early exit on Saturday against the Kings. He was hurt after taking a hit from Sean Durzi and it's unclear when Necas can return to action. The 22-year-old Czech has scored seven goals this season and boasts 17 points from […]

Joel Eriksson Ek Could Be Out Long-Term

Minnesota Wild center Joel Eriksson Ek sustained an upper-body injury in Monday's 7-4 loss to Dallas and could miss a significant period of time. Wild head coach Dean Evason noted after the game that the injury "doesn't look good". Eriksson Ek has been centering the second line for the team, doing plenty of damage at […]

Brayden Point Nearing Return

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Brayden Point (upper body) is set to miss another game on Tuesday against Vegas, but his return isn't far away anymore. The talented forward, who last played on Nov. 20, has been back at practice in a regular jersey and should be back in the lineup after Christmas. Point won't miss […]

Ed Davis Unavailable For Tuesday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Ed Davis has entered the league's health and safety protocols. That means, Davis won't be available for Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Normally, Davis isn't much of a factor in the rotation. However, he was possibly looking at the spot start with the Cavaliers being shorthanded. Now, Kevin Love should move […]

Talen Horton-Tucker, Dwight Howard Returning On Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Talen Horton-Tucker and center Dwight Howard have cleared the league's protocols. That means, both players are available for Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Horton-Tucker should immediately move into the starting five with the Lakers shorthanded. He'll have plenty of streaming appeal and DFS value for this one. Also, Howard should […]

Clint Capela, Danilo Gallinari Enter COVID-19 Protocols

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela and forward Danilo Gallinari have entered the league's health and safety protocols. Both players will join Trae Young on the sideline and leave the Hawks shorthanded going forward. The absence of Capela should mean more minutes for Onyeka Okongwu and Gorgui Dieng. Both could be possible streaming options, assuming Capela […]

Jusuf Nurkic Questionable For Tuesday

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (rib) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He is currently dealing with a left rib contusion, which is not something that is easy to play through. That being said, the Blazers could be shorthanded for this game, assuming Nurkic sits out. Larry Nance […]

Jakob Poeltl Has A Good Night Against The Clippers

San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl recorded a 17-point, 11-rebound double-double and had five assists with three steals and two blocks in Monday's road win over the Clippers. He shot 8-for-13 from the field and logged 30 minutes before fouling out. This was a very juicy line from the Austrian, and he finds himself in […]

Rudy Gobert Dominates Against Charlotte

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert bullied the Hornets on Monday, finishing a 112-102 win with 23 points and 21 rebounds. His shooting was lackluster as he went 4-for-10 from the field, but Gobert had a superb 14-for-15 record at the charity stripe. He handed out a pair of assists as well while recording one steal, […]

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood complied his 16th double-double of the season on Monday, notching a team-high 23 points and 11 rebounds in a blowout loss to Chicago.

He shot only 1-for-5 from downtown but was busy at the line with a 12-for-14 effort and finished off his night with 10 rebounds, five assists, two steals, four blocks and […]

Kristaps Porzingis Could Miss Tuesday's Game

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (toe) is considered questionable for Tuesday's rematch with the Timberwolves. He exited Sunday's 111-105 loss to Minnesota in the third quarter with what was then called right foot soreness. We now know that he's dealing with right toe soreness if it makes any difference. The injury doesn't sound too bad […]

Robert Williams III Ruled Out Against Sixers

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (personal) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He wasn't on the injury report, so this came out of nowhere. That being said, the Celtics are going to be extremely shorthanded with a handful of big men already sidelined. Enes Freedom could be looking at […]

Richaun Holmes Questionable For Monday

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (eye) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He has missed each of the last six games due to a right eye laceration. However, this is the first time that Holmes has been questionable since suffering the injury. It sounds like he is trending in […]

Paul Stastny Helps Winnipeg Beat St. Louis Sunday

Winnipeg Jets forward Paul Stastny tallied his sixth and seventh goals of the season while adding an assist Sunday versus the St. Louis Blues. Winnipeg came up victorious, winning 4-2. In 22 Jets contests, the centerman has collected seven goals and eight helpers. He is averaging over 17 minutes of playing time per game. Stastny […]

Philadelphia Tags Joel Embiid As Questionable For Monday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) has earned a questionable designation for Monday's contest against the Celtics as he battles a sore right ankle.

With Andre Drummond (health and safety protocols) unavailable, […]
