Joel Embiid Scores 24 Points With 11 Rebounds

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid recorded 24 points on just 8-for-21 shooting in the 98-97 loss to the Magic on Friday. Embiid also added 11 boards with two assists and a block. With this being a tight game and the first half of his club's back-to-back set, owners can hope he did not assert himself […]

Steven Adams Records Double-Double With Two Blocks

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams recorded a double-double with some excellent defensive numbers in the two-point win over the Hornets. Adams scored 14 points to go along with 12 boards with three assists and two steals with two blocks for the full line on Friday. Adams looks to be back to his old self […]

John Collins Notches Season-High 16 Rebounds In Defeat

Atlanta Hawks power forward/center John Collins was tenacious on the glass during Friday’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, collecting a season-best 16 boards across 26 minutes. While he scuffled offensively to the tune of a 4-for-14 shooting outing, including going 1-for-6 from long range, he added three blocks and two assists to his nine points. […]

Enes Kanter, Daniel Theis Combine For 23 Points During Victory

Neither Enes Kanter nor Daniel Theis has taken command of the Boston Celtics’ center slot this season, but the duo finished with a combined 23 points and 15 rebounds during Friday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The virtual timeshare that has been employed by head coach Brad Stevens has zapped both men of their fantasy […]

Kevin Love Sinks Season-High Six Triples In 30-Point Effort

Cleveland Cavaliers power forward/center Kevin Love found his groove from long range during Friday’s loss to the Boston Celtics, setting a new season high with six made threes. He utilized his hot shooting to tie his season high in scoring with 30 points, shooting 10-for-16 overall and adding in seven rebounds and four assists without […]

Karl-Anthony Towns is Questionable Against Cavs

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He's getting closer to a return, but the Wolves are going to wait until he's 100 percent healthy before letting him back on the court. Gorgui Dieng will remain a fantasy option until Towns is ready to play […]

Clint Capela is Doubtful for Saturday

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela (heel) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He's been dealing with a bruised right heel, but played 41 minutes on Monday. However, Capela only played 29 minutes on Christmas Day, so the Rockets could be attempting to limit him. Tyson Chandler and Isaiah Hartenstein will […]

Mitchell Robinson Could Sit Out on Saturday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (toe) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards. He looked good during Thursday's game, but picked up a toe injury along the way. Taj Gibson and Bobby Portis would see increased playing time if Robinson is forced to sit out. Both players could be worth […]

Ryan Getzlaf Returns To Lineup On Friday

Anaheim Ducks center Ryan Getzlaf (illness) will make his return to the lineup on Friday versus the Vegas Golden Knights. The 34-year-old had previously been battling an illness that kept him sidelined for two games over the past weekend.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/27/19): NBA DFS Lineups

Let's be honest with ourselves here, some of these games are going to be frustrating. This part of the season is when the NBA is at it's least predictable...most unpredictable....you get what I'm saying, it's hard to predict. Regardless, it's not like we are lost with no bearing of how these games are going to […]

Gorgui Dieng Leads Team In Points And Rebounds

Minnesota Timberwolves center Gorgui Dieng scored 21 points with 15 rebounds, three triples, two steals, and a block in a 105-104 win over the Sacramento Kings. Dieng certainly benefited from two overtime periods, as he played a season-high 41 minutes to get to his massive double-double totals. The 29-year-old has been the clear winner with […]

Rudy Gobert Extends Double-Double Streak To 14 Games

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert didn't let Hassan Whiteside's presence bother him in Thursday's clash with the Blazers, finishing with 16 points and 15 rebounds while limiting the Portland center to just eight points and six boards. He shot a perfect 7-for-7 from the field and cashed in twice at the charity stripe with six […]

Mitchell Robinson Records Third Double-Double Of Season

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson returned to the bench for Thursday’s win over the Brooklyn Nets, yet he was able to log his third double-double of the year with 10 points and 10 rebounds across 28 minutes.

Julius Randle Logs Game-High 33 Points On Season-High 26 Shots

New York Knicks power forward/center Julius Randle took over Thursday’s win against the Brooklyn Nets with a 33-point showing in which he shot 14-for-26 from the floor overall, including 5-for-9 from behind the arc.

Kristaps Porzingis Dealing With Foot Soreness

Dallas Mavericks power forward/center Kristaps Porzingis received X-rays on his left foot following Thursday’s win over the San Antonio Spurs and they came back negative, although Porzingis noted that his foot has been sore as of late. Entering play Thursday, he had been asked to take on an increased all-around role with Luka Doncic out […]

Jonas Valanciunas Collects Team-High 21 Points In Win

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas was superb from the field during Thursday’s victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, shooting 9-for-11 en route to a team-best 21 points. While both the scoring and field-goal efficiency are welcome, Valanciunas collected just four rebounds, his third-lowest total of the year. Memphis has continued to remain stingy as it […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Packs Stat Sheet Across 20-Point Outing

Memphis Grizzlies power forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. was limited to just 2-for-9 shooting from long range during Friday’s win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, but finished with 20 points across his 35 minutes. In addition to the scoring, Jackson added four rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals, giving him multiple category contributions in […]

Anzejs Pasecniks Scores Career-High 17 Points

Washington Wizards center Anzejs Pasecniks scored a career-high 17 points with six rebounds, two steals, and one assist in a 132-102 loss to the Detroit Pistons. Pasecniks has gotten more playing time lately thanks to injuries to Thomas Bryant (foot), Davis Bertans (quad), and Moritz Wagner (ankle). The rookie could have some value in deeper […]

Kristaps Porzingis Struggles Versus The Spurs

Dallas Mavericks big man Kristaps Porzingis struggled against San Antonio on Thursday with just 13 points and eight rebounds in the win. After surging in his absence with four 20-point outings and five double-doubles, this was not the type of production fantasy owners were hoping for out of KP in Luka Doncic's first game back […]

Andre Drummond Records Double-Double In Blowout Win

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond recorded 14 points, 10 rebounds, and a block in a 132-102 blowout win over the Washington Wizards. It's Drummond's 25th double-double of the year, tied for second in the NBA, and he did it in only 25 minutes because of the blowout. Drummond leads the league in rebounds by a […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Officially Out Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) will not play Thursday against the Sacramento Kings. Towns will miss his fifth straight game with the ailment, but has been trending in the right direction and is still considered day-to-day. Without Towns, Gorgui Dieng will continue to start and be a popular streaming option. Once Towns returns to […]

Deandre Ayton is Listed as Out for Friday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He was able to practice on Thursday, but it appears he'll sit out Friday due to a sprained right ankle. The Suns are going to be cautious with their star center, so he'll likely sit out until […]

Kevon Looney Ruled Out for Weekend Set

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (abdominal) has been ruled out for the next two games. Looney is dealing with soreness in his abdominal and won't suit up for Friday or Saturday's contest. Willie Cauley-Stein will gain some playing time and should be worth adding in most formats. Omari Spellman and Marquese Chriss could see […]

Philadelphia 76ers power forward/center Al Horford had gone exactly one month without notching a double-double before he logged his third of the year during Wednesday’s win over the Milwaukee Bucks.
