FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/28/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Following a massive 12-game night Wednesday, we’re down to a much more modest four contests Thursday. That naturally narrows our player pool significantly, but even with a couple of big names in Paul George and Kawhi Leonard slated to remain out, there are still some elite names taking the floor. Additionally, the absence of the […]

Domantas Sabonis With Triple-Double Against Charlotte

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis recorded a triple-double in Wednesday's victory over the Charlotte Hornets. Sabonis scored 22 points on 9-for-10 shooting and added 11 rebounds and 10 assists.

Nikola Vucevic Compiles 26 Points

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic had 26 points, nine rebounds, and two assists in 33 minutes during Wednesday's loss to Sacramento. Averaging 23.5 points and 11.1 rebounds per game, Vucevic has been nothing short of amazing this season. In the last three of four games, the center has a double-double and he also has at […]

Derrick Favors Downgraded To Out Against Dallas

Utah Jazz forward/center Derrick Favors (back) will not play Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Favors was questionable with back soreness before being downgraded to out. Favors has been playing limited minutes off the bench for the Jazz, but Utah is already without Donovan Mitchell (concussion). Georges Niang will probably get more run in the second […]

Lucas Wallmark Heads To COVID-19 List

Chicago Blackhawks center Lucas Wallmark will enter the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list and won't play on Wednesday against Nashville. The 25-year-old wasn't in the lineup on Tuesday against the Predators and he now can't help his team for the foreseeable future. He joins teammates Adam Boqvist and Alex DeBrincat on the list. Wallmark had just […]

Larry Nance Jr. Out Against Pistons

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (wrist) will not play Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons.

Domantas Sabonis Will Play Wednesday Against Charlotte

Indiana Pacers forward/center Domantas Sabonis (knee) will play Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets.

Clint Capela Will Play Wednesday Against Nets

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (hand) will play and start Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets. Capela is coming off a 13-point, 18-rebound performance on Tuesday and there were some question marks surrounding his availability the second night of a back-to-back. Those questions should be answered as Capela is good to go and should continue his […]

Capela looked fine on Tuesday as he scored 13 points with 18 rebounds, so this might be just precautionary. Onyeka Okongwu could […]

Christian Wood Expected To Play Versus Blazers

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (ankle) is expected to be able to suit up for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He hasn't suited up since mid-January, so Wood's return would be huge for the Rockets. DeMarcus Cousins is on fire right now, so it'll be interesting to see how head coach Stephen Silas […]

Vladislav Namestnikov Gets Off The Mark Tuesday Night

Detroit Red Wings forward Vladislav Namestnikov scored the team's only goal in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to Dallas, adding three shots and one hit.

Mattias Janmark Extends Goal Streak To Three Games

Chicago Blackhawks forward Mattias Janmark continued his hot goal-scoring form on Tuesday, notching the team's second in a 3-2 overtime loss to Nashville. Dylan Strome got things started for the Blackhawks with a power-play goal.

Wednesday’s have carved out a niche on the NBA landscape as being chock full of action, with 12 games at our disposal this time around.

The Detroit Tigers signed free-agent catcher Wilson Ramos to a one-year, $2 million deal on Tuesday evening. Ramos became a free agent when the Mets declined his $10 million option for the 2021 season. The 33-year-old veteran backstop hit .239/.297/.387 with five home runs and 15 RBI in 142 at-bats during the shortened 2020 season. […]

Cleveland Lists Larry Nance Jr. As Questionable For Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers power forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (wrist) has been bumped up to questionable to play in Wednesday's contest versus Detroit due to a sprained wrist.

Wendell Carter Jr. Will Miss At Least The Next Four Weeks

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (quad) is facing an absence of upwards of a month due to the right quad contusion that has already sidelined him for the past three games.

Domantas Sabonis Earns Questionable Tag For Wednesday

Indiana Pacers power forward/center Domantas Sabonis (knee) has been deemed questionable to play in Wednesday's game versus the Hornets due to a left knee bruise.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) is not listed on the team's injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest versus the Lakers, a strong indication that he'll be back in action following a one-game absence due to back tightness.
