Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Pickups for Week 5

Week 5 is an interesting turning point in the fantasy season.

Denver Nuggets power forward/center Nikola Jokic continued his bizarre start to the season on Wednesday when he brought a lot of good with some bad in the huge win over the Rockets.

Kristaps Porzingis Puts Up Double-Double Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks big man Kristaps Porzingis posted 14 points and 10 rebounds in just 24 minutes of action against the Warriors.

Aron Baynes Ruled Out Ahead Of Thursday Night

Phoenix Suns center Aron Baynes (hip) has already been ruled out Thursday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. Baynes sat Tuesday's loss to the Sacramento Kings with a hip contusion and will miss his second straight on Thursday. The fact he is ruled out a day in advance is not a great sign. Frank Kaminsky […]

Draymond Green Ruled Out With Soreness

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (heel) will not play Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Green is dealing with heel soreness and also banged his elbow Tuesday night.

Chirinos will turn 36 next June and hit .238/.347/.443 while starting 106 games behind the plate for the Astros and playing strong defense in 2019.
