Jonas Valanciunas Grabs 16 Boards

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas had nine points, 16 rebounds, two assists, and one block in 26 minutes during the 118-79 win over the Nets on Wednesday. The former Raptor had a low scoring total, but a typical night when it comes to grabbing rebounds. His dual prowess makes him an appealing fantasy option considering […]

Mitchell Robinson Will Not Play Against Utah

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Robinson tweaked his hamstring last game and will miss another game. This is unfortunate news as Robinson looked to start heating up. In Robinson's absence, Taj Gibson and Julius Randle will likely get a ton of minutes at the […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (3/4/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

On Tuesday, we saw some nasty performances from the likes of Anthony Davis and Caris Levert, who both combined for 134,9 fantasy points. For those who didn't finish in the money, Wednesday's seven-game slate gives us a chance to get it right. Before we get started, we have some notable injuries to keep an eye […]

Martin Maldonado Targeting Friday For Return

Houston Astros catcher Martin Maldonado (thumb) hopes to return to the diamond by Friday. The veteran catcher took a foul tip off his thumb and is dealing with some swelling after aggravating it later in the game. If this was the regular season, Maldonado certainly could play through the injury. But the team is taking […]

Andre Drummond Won't Play Versus Celtics

Cleveland Cavaliers center Andre Drummond (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. This marks the second game in a row that Drummond has missed due to a calf issue. The Cavs aren't playing for anything and will wait until he's back to 100 percent before letting Drummond back on the […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Will See More Minutes on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. will see increased playing time for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He'll be limited to 22-24 minutes for this game as the Bulls continue to ease Carter back into action. He isn't worth owning in most standard formats while he's limited, but should have decent value once he's […]

Deandre Ayton is Unlikely to Play on Friday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) is unlikely to suit up for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He rolled his left ankle on Tuesday and received an MRI on his sprained ankle on Wednesday. The MRI results haven't been announced yet, but Ayton could be looking at a multiple game absence. Aron Baynes […]

Yasmani Grandal Returns

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal (calf) is expected to catch a few innings on Friday versus the Cubs. Grandal had been sidelined with a strained left calf and caught three innings in a “B” game and had two plate appearances on Wednesday versus the Reds. Grandal should be one of the first catchers off […]

Austin Wynns Scratched From Lineup Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles catcher Austin Wynns will not play Wednesday after being hit in the groin by a foul ball several days ago, per MLB.com's Joe Trezza. This is a precautionary measure to ensure that he is fully healed before taking the field again. Consider him day-to-day going forward.

Thomas Bryant Will Rest on Wednesday

Washington Wizards center Thomas Bryant (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Wizards will let Bryant rest here. Ian Mahinmi should join the first unit, but he's not a great fantasy option. Davis Bertans and Moritz Wagner will see […]

Clint Capela Will Be Evaluated in Two Weeks

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (foot) is making progress and has been cleared for impact activities. He is dealing with right plantar fasciitis and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. The Hawks only have 12 games remaining on their schedule, so there's a good chance that he's done for the season. Capela is expected to […]

Jorge Alfaro Cleared for Activities

Miami Marlins catcher Jorge Alfaro (oblique) has been cleared for activities and will begin doing, "some hitting, catching, etc." The report states that this will be a process that will take some time, but the team remains hopeful that Alfaro will be ready for Opening Day. If Alfaro starts the season on the injured list, […]

Mason Plumlee Nearly Records Double-Double

Denver Nuggets forward Mason Plumlee scored an efficient 16 points with nine boards in a loss to the Warriors. It was Plumlee's best game since January. Playing only 17 minutes a night hasn't amounted to much fantasy value for the veteran forward, who is probably best left on the waiver wire. Plumlee should only be […]

Nikola Jokic Puts Together Full Line Against Warriors

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic compiled a full stat line in a bad loss to the Golden State Warriors. Jokic scored 16 points with 13 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks, and a steal in 32 minutes. The Serbian big man nearly notched his second straight triple-double and has been on a tear lately. Jokic has […]

Anthony Davis Goes Off Against The 76ers

Los Angeles Lakers power forward/center Anthony Davis needed just 19 shots to register 37 points and he also filled up the categories in the 13-point win over the 76ers. Davis put up 13 rebounds, two assists, four steals, two blocks, and four triples on Tuesday after returning from a one-game absence due to a sore […]

Al Horford Fills Up Box Score In Loss To Lakers

Philadelphia 76ers power forward/center Al Horford struggled with his shot, yet still managed to provide a bit of everything in the 120-107 loss to the Lakers. Horford scored eight points on 2-for-8 shooting from the floor and he also gathered 11 rebounds with three assists to go along with two steals and a block in […]

Auction Draft Dollar Day Targets

There are multiple strategies available to drafters in auctions. It is one of the reasons auctions are so much more interesting and fun than snake drafts. They award owners the ability to maneuver their roster the way they see fit. One of the most popular strategies is a stars-and-scrubs alignment, meaning owners pay up for […]

Brayden Schenn Pots Game-Winner Against Rangers

St. Louis Blues center Brayden Schenn recorded the game-winning goal in Tuesday's 3-1 victory over the Rangers, reaching 25 goals for the season. He also had an assist on a Jaden Schwartz goal. Colton Parayko, who got the scoring started for St. Louis on a power-play, also recorded a multi-point performance. Jordan Binnington extended his […]

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Tallies Another Multi-Point Game

Edmonton Oilers center Ryan Nugent-Hopkins put together his third consecutive multi-point game on Tuesday, finishing a 2-1 overtime win at Dallas with a power-play goal and an assist. He reached 20 goals for the season in the second period, before combining with Connor McDavid to set up Alex Chiasson for the game-winner. Mikko Koskinen took […]

DeAndre Jordan Gobbles Up 15 Rebounds

Brooklyn Nets center DeAndre Jordan had a big night on the glass Tuesday against Boston, finishing a 129-120 overtime win with a game-high 15 rebounds. He added eight points and one block in 35 minutes on the floor with 3-for-4 shooting. Jarrett Allen logged 18 minutes as the starting center and finished with eight points […]

Pascal Siakam Scores 33 Points As Starting Center

Toronto Raptors power forward/center Pascal Siakam got the start at center with head coach Nick Nurse mixing things up in hopes of ending his club's three-game losing streak. The change proved successful with the Raps getting the win and Siakam recording 33 points with seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal on Tuesday. […]

Zion Williamson Packs Stat Sheet During 25-Point Outing

New Orleans Pelicans power forward/center Zion Williamson continued his gaudy production across the board during Tuesday’s defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Efficiency from the field has been the name of Williamson’s game, as he shot 10-for-19 from the floor Tuesday, adding eight rebounds, four steals and three assists. He has now reeled off eight consecutive […]

Martin Maldonado Has Sore Thumb

Houston Astros catcher Martin Maldonado (thumb) took a foul tip off his thumb in the last few days and was scratched from the Grapefruit League game on Tuesday as a precaution. Maldonado should be just fine for Opening Day. The 33-year-old from Puerto Rico will be Houston's primary catcher with Robinson Chirinos out of the […]

Naz Reid Records First Career Double-Double

Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid finished with 13 points and 14 rebounds during Tuesday’s victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, amassing the first double-double of his career. Reid was all over the stat sheet across his 27 minutes, adding three assists, three steals and two blocks while shooting 5-for-12 from the field overall. Reid has […]

Montrezl Harrell Scores 16 Points In 19 Minutes Versus OKC

LA Clippers big man Montrezl Harrell was productive in 19 minutes off the bench in a win over the Thunder, shooting five of eight from the field to finish with 16 points and three rebounds. Harrell had looked better during the Clippers' previous two games, posting 18 points and 10 rebounds against Denver followed by […]

Thon Maker On Track To Suit Up For Wednesday’s Game

Detroit Pistons power forward/center Thon Maker (foot) has been listed as probable to play in Wednesday’s contest versus the Oklahoma City Thunder. Maker missed Sunday’s game, but had seen his role take a significant downturn over the last two contests that he was available to participate in. John Henson appears to have jumped Maker in […]
