Mitchell Robinson Will Wear Splint on Sunday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (finger) will suit up for Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He's dealing with a sprained left finger, but will wear a splint on his hand for now.

Dallas Mavericks power forward/center Kristaps Porzingis came just a rebound shy of snagging a double-double during Friday’s loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (11/2/19): NBA DFS Lineups

One specific aspect of analyzing basketball that will gradually become more important as the season progresses is stacking teams in back-to-backs.

For example, […]
