DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (8/13/20): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a five-game slate on Thursday and we're a few games into garbage season for NBA DFS. Teams are resting starters willy nilly, capping minutes seemingly at random, and just trying to coast by in general - either to the playoffs or to their offseason. However, there are four teams that are still vying […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (8/13/20) - MLB DFS Lineups

We head into Thursday night with a very strange five-game slate on tap. The slate starts at 4:05 pmEST and is spread out throughout the day/evening. There are some really east spots to target as well as some nice pivots to differentiate your lineups. Listening to MLB DFS Quick Hits will also help get you […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/13/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

The small slate is back in action with just four games comprising Thursday’s “main” pool of players to choose from. If you’re reading this, you’re likely of the ilk that shorter slates make FanDuel and their one pitcher option more appealing than usual. With aces and hitter’s parks packing the action, stacks and contrarian plays […]

Bo Horvat Scores Twice As Canucks Defeat Blues In Game 1

Vancouver Canucks forward Bo Horvat scored a pair of goals and finished with a plus-two rating in Wednesday's 5-2 victory against the St. Louis Blues in Game 1 of their first round Western Conference Playoff series. Horvat opened the scoring in the first period on the power-play and added his second of the contest in […]

Daily Slivers of the Fantasy Soapbox - Yesterday's Recap

Welcome to the August 13th edition of Daily Slivers of the Fantasy Soapbox. Discussing baseball is as fun as the game itself.

Gary Sanchez Hits His Second Home Run Of The Season

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez hit his second home run of the season against the Braves on Wednesday. Even after Wednesday’s home run Sanchez owns a paltry .454 OPS for the season, but fantasy players should expect the 27-year-old to heat up and finish the season with an OPS above .800. As bad as […]

Kristaps Porzingis Downgraded To Doubtful

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (heel) has been downgraded to doubtful for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was listed as questionable on Wednesday, but it sounds like the Mavs want to be cautious here. This game doesn't have any value in terms of playoff seeding, so the team will likely opt to rest […]

Mitch Garver Stops Slide With Three-Hit Game

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver went 3-for-6 with two runs scored in a 12-2 victory over the Brewers. That's four hits in two games now for Garver, who needed this as much as anyone after a brutal 1-for-19 stretch to start the month of August. The backstop has hit slightly less fly balls than last […]

Myles Turner Notches Nice Double-Double

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner became the latest big to shine against Houston, finishing Wednesday's 108-104 win with 18 points and 12 rebounds. He also had two assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes of action. It actually wasn't a particularly good offensive night for Turner, with him going 5-for-14 from the field, […]

Salvador Perez Hit Streak Up To 10 Games

The Royals bats as a whole have really heated up […]

Chance Sisco Plates Three Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles catcher Chance Sisco had a big day at the plate in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Phillies. Sisco went 2-for-4 with a single, a solo home run, three RBI, and a strikeout. The 25-year-old now owns an impressive .381/.536/.762 slash line with two HR and four RBI over 28 plate appearances. He has […]

Austin Nola Homers Wednesday

Seattle Mariners catcher Austin Nola went 2-for-5 with a double and a home run in Wednesday's loss to the Rangers. Nola missed a few games with wrist soreness but that doesn't seem to be bothering him anymore. He has been a solid option at catcher so far this season with a triple slash of .298/.353/.574 […]

Patrice Bergeron Scores in Double-Overtime for Win

The Boston Bruins took the first game of the best-of-seven, first-round series against the Carolina Hurricanes by a score of 4-3 in double-overtime. Patrice Bergeron had the winning goal. David Pastrnak, Charlie Coyle, and David Krejci had the other goals for Boston. Brad Marchand added two helpers. Goaltender Tuukka Rask, whose health has been in […]

Nicklas Backstrom Exits Game 1 With Injury

Washington Capitals center Nicklas Backstrom left in the second period of Wednesday's game versus the New York Islanders after taking a late hit from Anders Lee. Backstrom only played 7:21 in the contest. It is unclear how severe the injury is for the Swedish pivot, but if he has to miss any time, it will […]

Robinson Chirinos Out Of Lineup Wednesday With Sore Ankle

Texas Rangers catcher Robinson Chirinos will be out of the starting nine Wednesday against the Mariners and right-handed pitcher Taijuan Walker due to left ankle soreness. Chirinos’ absence paves the way for Jeff Mathis to make his second consecutive start behind the dish. The start of the 2020 year has not been kind to Chirinos, […]

No New Positive Tests For The Cardinals

The latest round of COVID-19 testing for the St. Louis Cardinals has reportedly not turned up any new positive results. The Cardinals have not played sine July 29th due to their COVID outbreak, but it looks like their weekend series against the Chicago White Sox might actually happen. The Cardinals are just 2-3 and will […]

Manny Pina Powers Comeback Win

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Manny Pina went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Twins. The homers were the first two of the season for Pina, but the 33-year-old backstop has been productive when called upon -- he has a five-game hitting streak going, and Tuesday's big performance pushed […]

Brandon Clarke Plays Well Off The Bench

Memphis Grizzlies power forward/center Brandon Clarke provided an excellent boost off the bench, but his club still fell short to the polished Celtics. Clarke scored 15 points on 7-for-14 shooting and added six rebounds and a block in his 29 minutes. Clarke has stepped with the injured Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) out and is posting […]

Jonas Valanciunas Registers A Double-Double

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas did all he could on Tuesday to try to help his club keep their postseason hopes alive, but it was not enough in the loss Boston. Valanciunas netted 14 points to go along with 10 rebounds and two steals in 25 minutes but the big man was a minus-22 while […]

Yasmani Grandal Resting On Wednesday

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's clash with the Detroit Tigers. The 31-year-old has had an unassuming start to the 2020 season, so hopefully the rest revitalizes him. In his absence, James McCann will start behind the plate and bat fifth against Matthew Boyd and the Tigers. […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (8/12/20) - MLB DFS Lineups

Welcome to Wednesday where we have a modest eight-game slate featuring limited pitching options and tons of teams to consider stacking.

Harry Giles Plays Well Off The Bench In Loss

Sacramento Kings power forward/center Harry Giles recorded his first double-double since February 22nd in the win over the Pelicans on Tuesday.
