The Chicago Bulls are likely staring down a thin frontcourt for Saturday’s matchup versus the Phoenix Suns. Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) has been working his way back to a return, while Luke Kornet (ankle) sustained an injury in practice, leaving both doubtful to suit up. With Chandler Hutchison and Denzel Valentine both out of the […]

Karl-Anthony Towns To Miss At Least Two Weeks

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) will see his absence extended into March as news came down Friday of a fractured left wrist for the team’s star center.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/21/20): NBA DFS Lineups

Whereas Thursday night was an appetizer for the DFS palate, Friday night is the main course. A nine-game slate headlines the unofficial return of what should be a wild and wacky final seven or so weeks of regular season NBA DraftKings play. There are numerous intriguing developments coming into play Friday that have arisen during […]

Thomas Bryant Will Play Against Cavs

Washington Wizards center Thomas Bryant (foot) will suit up for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He aggravated his foot earlier this month, but was able to practice on Wednesday. The Wizards might be cautious with Bryant this time around, so he might not be a great DFS option for Friday's slate. He should have […]

Luke Kornet Suffers Injury in Practice

Chicago Bulls center Luke Kornet (ankle) is sidelined indefinitely after suffering an injury during Friday's practice. He suffered a sprained left ankle and has no timetable for his return at the moment. Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) is close to returning, so that's good news for the Bulls. Daniel Gafford and Thaddeus Young could see more […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Could Return on Saturday

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) was able to get through a 3-on-3 practice on Friday. He was expected to play in Thursday's game, but the team decided to hold him out of that one. It sounds like Carter might be able to play in Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Fantasy owners should […]

Robinson Chirinos To Miss A Week Of Spring Training Games

Texas Rangers catcher Robinson Chirinos (hamstring) will not be behind the plate when the team takes the field for their first spring training game on Friday against the Kansas City Royals. The offseason acquisition is still nursing a hamstring strain that he suffered in January and will be limited to bullpen work for the next week. […]

Jarrett Allen Struggles Against Sixers

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen certainly did not return from the All-Star break on a great note. Despite receiving the start from head coach Kenny Atkinson against the Sixers on Thursday, he played only 13 minutes and went scoreless, missing all four of his shot attempts. It was clear Allen was no match for Philly's […]

Joel Embiid Dominates In Overtime Victory Against Nets

Thanks to a 39-point, 16-rebound performance from Philadelphia Sixers center Joel Embiid, Philly was able to pick up a win in their first game after the All-Star break. He converted on 10 of 20 field-goal attempts and got to the charity stripe 19 times, nailing all but one of his free throws. Philadelphia needed every […]

Jonas Valanciunas Hauls In 11 Rebounds In Just 20 Minutes

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas scored eight points with 11 rebounds in just 20 minutes of action in the loss to the Kings on Thursday.

Alec Martinez Scores In Golden Knights Debut

Newly acquired defenseman Alec Martinez scored a goal and added an assist (and was a plus-three) as the Vegas Golden Knights defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning by a score of 5-3. The victory by Vegas snapped Tampa Bay’s 11-game win streak. Martinez had just one goal and eight points in 41 games with the Kings […]

Mark Scheifele Nets Hat Trick In Jets Win

The Winnipeg Jets steamrolled through the Ottawa Senators on Thursday night by a score of 5-1 with help from Mark Scheifele, who scored a hat trick. He also added an assist. Scheifele has six points over his past two games and, overall, has 65 points in 62 games. He’s four goals away from having back-to-back […]

Brook Lopez, Robin Lopez Combine For 27 Points In Win

The Milwaukee Bucks brotherly center duo combined for 27 points during Thursday’s victory over the Detroit Pistons, with both Brook Lopez and Robin Lopez shooting 4-for-9 overall from the field. The major difference in their stat line was the 9-for-10 performance that Brook put together at the free-throw line, although Robin knocking down just his […]

Christian Wood Reels Off Double-Double As Reserve

Detroit Pistons power forward/center Christian Wood returned to the bench for Thursday’s defeat to the Milwaukee Bucks, but his removal from the starting five did little to affect his role. Wood led the team in scoring with 18 points, while snatching 11 rebounds, giving him his fourth double-double in his past five contests. His stat […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/20/20): NBA DFS Lineups

The time has arrived!  The NBA is back from the All-Star break as teams return refreshed to finish the season.  All-Star weekend was awesome this year.  My favorite moment of the weekend was watching both teams ramp up the intensity, and play as hard as I have seen in recent memory during the fourth quarter.  LeBron […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/20/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

All-Star break and our break from NBA DFS is finally over. With the return of basketball, we have a six-game slate with one major play sticking out due to some recent injury news. Since Kyrie Irving re-aggravated a shoulder injury, Spencer Dinwiddie for just $6,900 against any defense is a steal. Specifically against the 76ers […]

Thomas Bryant Might Play on Friday

Washington Wizards center Thomas Bryant (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was able to practice on Wednesday, so that's a good sign going forward. The Wizards might ease him back into action, but more information should be known before tip-off on Friday. Bryant is expected to be under […]

Jonathan Lucroy Had Surgery On Neck

Boston Red Sox catcher Jonathan Lucroy (neck) said he had surgery for a herniated disc in his neck that had been bothering him for the last three years. "I'd like to sit here and make excuses and say it's the reason I haven't been good, but I'm not going to. It did affect me," Lucroy […]

Robert Williams Won't Play During Road Trip

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams (hip) has been ruled out for the upcoming four-game road trip. However, he was active during Wednesday's practice, so that's a good sign moving forward. There's a chance that Williams is able to return by the end of the month. Enes Kanter and Daniel Theis will continue to split up […]

Marc Gasol Won't Play on Friday

Toronto Raptors center Marc Gasol (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It doesn't sound like the team is sure when Gasol is going to be back in the lineup. Serge Ibaka will continue to start at center until Gasol is ready to play again. Chris Boucher will see more […]

J.T. Realmuto Loses Arbitration Case

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto lost his salary arbitration case and will make $10 million in 2020 instead of the $12.4 million he was requesting, according to a source.
