San Antonio Clears LaMarcus Aldridge To Return Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs power forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge (hip) has been given the green light to get back into action for Wednesday's contest versus the Thunder. Aldridge has missed the past six games due to a right hip flexor, which figures to keep his workload in his first game back under close observation. Aldridge's fantasy outlook […]

John Collins Picks Up Questionable Tag For Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks power forward/center John Collins (concussion) has been deemed questionable to play in Wednesday's game versus the Celtics as he continues to be evaluated for a potential concussion stemming from Tuesday's contest. Solomon Hill and Danilo Gallinari would stand to benefit offensively from Collins' absence, while Onyeka Okongwu may also see extended run. Collins […]

Fantasy Basketball Dynasty Risers - Week 10

Our top two headliners this week are a pair of Houston Rockets guards. Both players have seen their opportunities increase while Victor Oladipo (foot) has been sidelined. However, they both showed signs of making positive strides before Oladipo was sidelined about 10 days ago. They should both remain cogs in the team’s rotation when Oladipo […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/24/21): NBA DFS Lineups

In one fell swoop, the NBA gets both the Spurs and Pacers back Wednesday night. Even on a crowded nine-game slate, those two teams standout as being the most important, albeit for different reasons. San Antonio’s depth chart has been flipped upside down by the league’s health and safety protocols. With at least five key […]

Moritz Wagner Plays His Best Game Of The Season

Washington Wizards center Moritz Wagner played his best game of the season in a 135-116 loss to the Clippers on Tuesday. Wagner scored a season-high 21 points with seven rebounds and five assists while draining a three-pointer in 25 minutes. The 23-year-old has only averaged 14.2 minutes per game, though that number should definitely creep […]

Nikola Vucevic's 20 Points Not Enough In Loss To Detroit

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic scored 20 points on 9-for-22 shooting in Tuesday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. He was 9-for-22 from the field and 2-for-8 from deep. He also grabbed nine rebounds and dished out four assists while adding in a block. Up next for Orlando is the Nets on Thursday, who allow the […]

Jarrett Allen With Fifth Straight Double-Double

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen scored 13 points on 5-for-11 shooting in Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. In addition, he grabbed 14 rebounds and blocked four shots. It was the fifth game in a row where Allen recorded a double-double as he continues to fill the role that Andre Drummond once held on this […]

Nikola Jokic Drops 41 Points On Portland

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic ended a mini-slump with a game-high 41 points in Tuesday's 111-106 victory over Portland, shooting 17-for-32 from the field and 4-for-4 at the line. He made half of his six attempts from deep and added five rebounds, five assists, and one steal with zero turnovers in 38 minutes. Jokic had […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Posts Double-Double Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns had 26 points and a career-high 11 assists in Tuesday's loss to Milwaukee, posting his 10th double-double of the season in his 12th game. He was two rebounds short of a triple-double, shooting 10-for-19 from the field and 5-for-5 at the charity stripe. This was Chris Finch's debut as Minnesota's […]

Leon Draisaitl Collects Three Helpers On Tuesday

Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl spearheaded his team's 4-3 comeback victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday, collecting three assists in the contest. Draisaitl also managed to finish his night with a power-play point, plus-one rating and three shots in 22:58 of ice time. The 25-year-old is following up his MVP campaign of 2019-2020 by […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/24/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Wednesday offers a full slate of NBA games for DFS players to feast upon, but it concludes with one of the best games on the NBA calendar to date. After eight games earlier in the night, the Lakers and Jazz will tip-off in Utah. The Jazz boast the league’s best record and have lost just […]

Chris Silva Picks Up Questionable Tag For Wednesday’s Game

Miami Heat center Chris Silva (hip) has been bumped up to questionable to participate in Wednesday's contest versus Toronto. Silva has been sidelined since Jan. 16 due to a left hip flexor, but he has averaged just 8.8 minutes across the six games that he has appeared this year. Even upon his return, Silva isn't […]

John Collins Unavailable To Return Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks power forward/center John Collins (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Tuesday's contest against the Cavaliers due to "precautionary reasons." Collins will undergo concussion testing, with Danilo Gallinari opening the second half in Collins' place. Prior to his departure, Collins amassed 13 points on 5-for-6 shooting, adding three boards across his […]

Phoenix Releases Damian Jones

Center Damian Jones was waived by the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday after appearing in 14 games as a reserve this season. Jones, who won a pair of NBA titles during his time with the Warriors, started 27 games last year for Atlanta, but he quickly got lost in the Suns' frontcourt shuffle in 2020-21. The […]

DeAndre Jordan Rejoins Starting Five Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets center DeAndre Jordan has been tabbed to start Tuesday's game against Sacramento in place of Jeff Green (shoulder). Jordan logged his third double-double of the year in his last outing, with the Kings' struggles at containing the opponents' center only enhanced by his recent success. DFS managers shouldn't expect a massive minutes jump […]

Steven Adams Upgraded To Probable

New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams (ankle) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Detroit. The veteran returned to practice on Tuesday after missing his previous two games. If Adams is cleared during pre-game warmups against the Pistons, expect Willy Hernangomez to see a decrease in fantasy value.

Jeff Green Misses First Game Of The Season Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets power forward/center Jeff Green (shoulder) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Kings due to a shoulder contusion. The absence marks his first of the year, which makes it unclear how head coach Steve Nash may reallocate his minutes, but Nicolas Claxton and Noah Vonleh are candidates to see increased run. […]

Nerlens Noel Will Start On Tuesday

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (ankle) will start on Tuesday against Golden State. The veteran has been dealing with soreness in his left ankle, but it's nothing that should cause him problems down the line, at least for now. With James Wiseman (wrist) and Kevon Looney (ankle) back for the Warriors, the 26-year-old will […]

Ryan Johansen Ready To Return On Tuesday

Nashville Predators center Ryan Johansen (upper body) is set to rejoin the lineup for Tuesday's visit to Detroit after coming off the Injured Reserve. The 28-year-old hasn't played since Feb. 4 when he had one assist in a 6-5 overtime victory against Florida. Johansen has four total assists for the year with no goals in […]

Kristaps Porzingis Not On The Block

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (back) will remain with the team, according to owner Mark Cuban. "We have not discussed him (Porzingis) in a trade at all," remarked Cuban when asked about a potential deal to Golden State. The 25-year-old continues to deal with tightness in his back, an injury that will keep him out […]

Kevon Looney Rejoins Starting Five Tuesday

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (ankle) has been cleared to return for Tuesday's game against New York, immediately reclaiming his spot in the starting lineup. Despite his starting gig, Looney is a highly unreliable fantasy asset, having scored in double figures just once during his first 21 contests to begin the year. His matchup […]

Stephen Curry, James Wiseman Cleared To Return Tuesday

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (illness) and center James Wiseman (wrist) have both been given the green light to get back in action for Tuesday's contest against the Knicks. Curry sat out one game due to an illness, whereas Wiseman has been unavailable since Jan. 30 with a sprained wrist. Curry has produced […]

P.J. Tucker Probable Against Cleveland

Houston Rockets forward/center P.J. Tucker (quad) will likely play on Wednesday night against Cleveland. The veteran has been dealing with the injury but still managed to suit up on Monday night against Chicago. With DeMarcus Cousins no longer with the team and Christian Wood (ankle) out, he should be considered a dart throw value play […]

Kevin Plawecki Expected To Arrive Shortly

Boston Red Sox catcher Kevin Plawecki, who was placed on the COVID-19 list at the start of camp, is expected to arrive to spring training within the next day or two, according to manager Alex Cora. Plawecki hit .341/.393/.463 with 17 RBI in 24 games in his first season with the Red Sox. But the […]

Steven Adams Could Sit Out Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was able to practice on Tuesday, but his status likely hinges on how he feels during pregame warmups. Willy Hernangomez will start another game and have solid streaming appeal, assuming Adams misses another game. Jaxson Hayes […]

Rockets Release DeMarcus Cousins

Houston Rockets center DeMarcus Cousins has been released by the organization one week after having his contract guaranteed through the rest of the season. An odd decision by the team, but they likely want to go with a small-ball strategy going forward. It's unclear how much value Cousins will have on the open market. His […]

Kristaps Porzingis, Maximilian Kleber Ruled Out Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (back) and forward Maxi Kleber (ankle) have been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. It's unclear when exactly Porzingis will get back on the court, but Willie Cauley-Stein and Dwight Powell will be asked to pick up the slack. Cauley-Stein has been the better of the two […]
