JaMychal Green Will Miss Monday’s Contest

Denver Nuggets power forward/center JaMychal Green (elbow) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Miami due to a sprained left elbow. Green's absence will be his first of the year, although the Nuggets will have a sound contingency plan to start in his place: the returning Nikola Jokic. Green figures to shift to the […]

Nikola Jokic Returns To Action For Monday’s Game

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (wrist) will take the floor for Monday's contest against the Heat, stemming his absence from a right wrist sprain at four contests. The last time that Jokic and Miami met, the reigning MVP was ejected after a hard foul on Markieff Morris, one which earned him a one-game suspension. Prior […]

Golden State Anticipates Draymond Green Playing Tuesday

Golden State Warriors power forward/center Draymond Green (back) is set to take the floor for Tuesday's game against Phoenix.

Derrick Favors Will Miss Monday’s Contest

Oklahoma City Thunder center Derrick Favors (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Houston.

Mo Bamba, Terrence Ross Cleared To Play Monday

Orlando Magic center Mo Bamba (back) and small forward Terrence Ross (back) have both received the green light to take the floor Monday against Philadelphia.

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (11/29/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

We're set for a nine-game slate Monday night, and there seems to be a decent enough balance of competitive and potentially lopsided affairs, along with a good mix of lower-scoring affairs and offensive showcases. There's a relatively light injury report as well, so even if the biggest names on it (Nikola Jokic, Jimmy Butler) were […]

The three of them have combined for 47 points this season, with Couture being responsible […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 7: Malik Monk, Anfernee Simons, Rudy Gay

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]

Ryan Getzlaf Keeps Helping Out With Another Assist

Anaheim Ducks center Ryan Getzlaf continues to dish out assists. He set up Hampus Lindholm on Sunday night for his 19th assist of the season. The center also had three blocked shots as well while playing nearly 18 minutes. What is more odd is that Getzlaf now has 55 shots in 22 games and just […]

William Nylander Rolls Along With Two More Points Sunday

Toronto Maple Leafs center William Nylander notched a second straight two-point game on Sunday. This time, it came against the Anaheim Ducks. Nylander set up Alexander Kerfoot, who also had a goal and assist, with a perfect feed just 13 seconds into the third period. That gave Toronto a 3-0 lead at the time. Then […]

Scott Laughton Ends Seven-Game Drought In Big Way

Philadelphia Flyers center Scott Laughton kills penalties well. On Sunday night, he scored a short-handed goal and added an early third-period assist in a losing effort. His pass to Joel Farabee, who collected his seventh goal of the year, silenced the New Jersey crowd temporarily. Laughton came into the game in Newark with just four […]

Mason Plumlee Ruled Out Against Bulls

Charlotte Hornets center Mason Plumlee (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. This marks the third game in a row that Plumlee has missed due to a left calf strain. P.J. Washington should remain in the starting five, while Plumlee is out. Normally, Washington isn't the best fantasy option, but […]

Mo Bamba Could Miss Monday's Game

Orlando Magic center Mo Bamba (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was expected to play on Saturday, but was ruled out shortly before tip-off. Veteran big man Robin Lopez filled in nicely and could have some low cost DFS value, assuming Bamba misses more time. Although, Wendell Carter […]

Sean Couturier Will Play Sunday Night

Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier was a little late in going out for practice on Sunday. There is no cause for concern, though, as he looked fine ahead of the game versus New Jersey. Couturier did absorb a huge hit on Friday night, and the guess is the medical staff wanted to give him the […]

Jonathan Dahlen Returns To San Jose Lineup Sunday

San Jose Sharks center Jonathan Dahlen will be on the top line Sunday as they face the Chicago Blackhawks. There was some talk Dahlen may not play. However, he will play on the right wing centered by Logan Couture. Timo Meier will be on his opposite side. That should set up Dahlen well. The forward […]

Mathieu Joseph Gets Injured In Sunday's Loss

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Mathieu Joseph played only 5:15 in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Minnesota after suffering an undisclosed injury. He was involved in a collision with Ryan Hartman in the second period. Head coach Jon Cooper didn't provide an update on Joseph's status after the game. The 24-year-old has skated in 20 games this […]

Ryan Hartman Remains In Hot Goal-Scoring Form

Minnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman notched the game-winning goal in Sunday's 4-2 victory over Tampa, scoring in a third consecutive game. The Wild's hot second line was broken up here, with Mats Zuccarello (upper body) unable to suit up, but Hartman still found a way to get on the score sheet. He's finished goalless just […]

Jesperi Kotkaniemi Scores In A Second Consecutive Game

Carolina Hurricanes forward Jesperi Kotkaniemi got himself a goal in a second consecutive game on Sunday, putting his team on the board in a 4-2 loss to Washington. He recorded three shots with one hit and a plus-one rating in just 9:22 of ice time. Kotkaniemi logged nearly 15 minutes in Friday's 6-3 win over […]

Aliaksei Protas Nets First Career Goal

Washington Capitals forward Aliaksei Protas celebrated his first career goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes, putting his team up 2-0 in the second period less than a minute after Alex Ovechkin had started the scoring. Protas fired off four shots in the game and registered one hit in 17:27 of ice time. The […]

Christian Wood Dominates With Big Double-Double

Houston Rockets power forward/center Christian Wood scored 33 points and secured 16 rebounds for his 10th double-double of the season during a 146-143 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday. The 26-year-old went 13-for-19 from the field, including 2-for-3 behind the arc, and 5-for-7 from the line. The UNLV product also added three assists and […]

Nonetheless, the matchup […]

Lars Eller Back In The Lineup Sunday For Washington

Washington Capitals center Lars Eller returns to the lineup on Sunday against the Carolina Hurricanes. Eller missed a half-dozen games in all due to COVID. He also had to quarantine for ten days in an Anaheim hotel room. It seemed to affect his mental health and outlook more than anything. The good news is he […]

Joe Pavelski Has Another Multi-Point Outing Saturday Night

Dallas Stars forward Joe Pavelski, who reached 400 career goals with a couple of strikes in Friday's 3-1 win over Colorado, remained hot on Saturday against Arizona, finishing a 3-2 victory with two assists. He picked up a pair of blocks as well and had one shot on goal in 17:02 of ice time. The […]

Anze Kopitar Picks Up Three Assists Saturday Night

Los Angeles Kings center Anze Kopitar notched three assists with five shots, one block and two hits in Saturday's 4-2 win over Ottawa.

Evan Mobley Returns With A Near Double-Double, Four Blocks

Cleveland Cavaliers center Evan Mobley returned from an elbow strain in fine form on Saturday, recording 13 points, nine rebounds and four blocks in a 105-92 win over the Magic.
