Lonzo Ball Tweaks Ankle on Friday
Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball (ankle) left early during Friday's practice after tweaking his ankle. Head coach Luke Walton said he is hopeful that Ball can play in Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The Lakers may decide to take the cautious approach with their young guard. Josh Hart, Rajon Rondo, and Kentavious […]
Quinn Cook Will Start on Saturday
Golden State Warriors point guard Quinn Cook will join the starting five for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Stephen Curry (groin) has been ruled out for this game, but his MRI results were encouraging. The Warriors are likely going to be cautious with Curry, so Cook could see a handful of starts. Shaun Livingston […]
Chris Paul Struggles Against Thunder
Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul scored 10 points on 7-for-19 shooting in Thursday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Paul had five assists and a pair of rebounds as well, and he also added in six steals. Paul will look to get his scoring numbers back up against the Thunder on Saturday, though the […]
Andrew Harrison Will Make Cavs Debut on Saturday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Andrew Harrison practiced with the team on Friday and is expected to play in Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The Cavs are looking for depth with George Hill (shoulder) out at least two weeks. Collin Sexton will start at point guard and see pretty much all the minutes he can handle. […]
Devin Harris Uncertain for Friday
Dallas Mavericks guard Devin Harris (hamstring) practiced with the team on Friday, but it's uncertain if he'll actually suit up for the game against OKC. Harris has been sidelined since the regular season opener, but has been getting closer to a return. Regardless, Harris isn't going to be a big part of the Mavs rotation. […]
Dwyane Wade is Out on Friday
Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (personal) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Wade is celebrating the birth of his daughter. It's unclear at the moment whether or not he'll be back in time for Saturday's contest. Goran Dragic (knee) will be sidelined for this game as well. Tyler Johnson and […]
Kyrie Irving Won't Play on Friday
Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving (personal) won't play in Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Irving is attending his grandfather's memorial. Irving is expected to be back in time for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Terry Rozier will most likely slide into the starting lineup for this one. Rozier played fantastic in […]
Goran Dragic Ruled Out Against Pacers
Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Dragic did not play in Wednesday's game after being listed as questionable for that one. Dragic had an MRI earlier in the week and the results came back clean. It sounds like Dragic is just day-to-day, so […]
Kevin Huerter Expected to Play on Friday
Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (personal) is expected to play in Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He did not play in Wednesday's contest against the Knicks, but is not listed on the injury report anymore. He's averaging 5.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists this season. He's buried on the depth chart, so he […]
Shaun Livingston Could Return Soon
Golden State Warriors point guard Shaun Livingston (foot) could return in the near future. Livingston has been sidelined since October 26, but head coach Steve Kerr said he was improving. Usually Livingston is fairly useless in terms of fantasy production. However, Stephen Curry (groin) could be looking at missing some time. That means the fantasy […]
Timetable for Stephen Curry is Unclear
Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (groin) said that he was unsure how much time he was going to miss. Curry suffered a groin injury during Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Curry is set for an MRI on Friday, so more information should be known later. Quinn Cook could see his fantasy value […]
C.J. McCollum Pours In 23 Points In The Win
Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum connected on eight of 20 shot attempts for 23 points as he helped secure the win on Thursday. McCollum added two makes from deep with seven rebounds and two assists in 35 minutes of action on the night. McCollum was coming off the 40-point eruption and has seen his […]
Damian Lillard Scores 25 Points In Thursday's Win
Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard posted a full line as he scored 25 points with many other goodies in his club's win on Thursday. Dame was 11-for-25 from the floor with three makes from three while adding four rebounds, four assists and a steal with a block in 35 minutes of action. Lillard […]
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Scores Career-High 19 Points
Los Angeles Clippers guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander put up a career night as he scored 19 points, but it was not enough as his club lost by 11 to the Trail Blazers on Thursday. SGA was 7-for-12 from the floor with a perfect 2-for-2 from three while adding two rebounds with two assists and a block […]
Patrick Beverley Picks Up Two Blocks In the Loss
Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley was quiet on the offensive end, as he scored just four points but managed to add a couple of blocks with a steal to help salvage his offensive shortages on Thursday. Beverley played 35 minutes and added four assists with three rebounds without committing a turnover on the night. […]
Eric Bledsoe Torches Golden State Warriors
Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe put on a clinic during Thursday's road victory over the Golden State Warriors. Bledsoe scored 26 points on 10-for-12 shooting and added in four rebounds, six assists, one steal and two three-pointers in 26 minutes of action. Fresh off of his five-point performance on Tuesday, the eight-year pro bounced back […]
Quinn Cook Is Worth A Speculative Add
Golden State Warriors guard Quinn Cook scored 15 points with two rebounds, five assists and three three-pointers in 19 minutes against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night. But the big news for Cook was that Stephen Curry (groin) was forced out of Thursday's contest with an adductor strain that he suffered in the third quarter. […]
Stephen Curry Leaves Thursday's Game With Adductor Strain
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (groin) was unable to finish Thursday's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks due to an adductor strain. Curry was injured in the third quarter and played for a few minutes before heading back to the locker room. The 6-foot-3 guard not being able to return doesn't necessarily indicate the severity […]
Emmanuel Mudiay 3-For-3 On Three-Pointers
New York Knicks combo guard Emmanuel Mudiay scored 11 points on 4-for-8 shooting, including a perfect 3-for-3 from beyond the arc, in Wednesday's victory over the Hawks. He added five rebounds, three assists as well as one block. It was his second straight solid outing. While he had his streak of recording a steal at […]
Frank Ntilikina Scores 14 Points
New York Knicks point guard Frank Ntilikina tallied 14 points, three rebounds and three assists in Wednesday's victory over the Hawks. The 6-foot-6 Belgian made five of 10 shots from the field and two of four from beyond the arc before fouling out after 24 minutes of action. It marked the first time in five […]
Jeff Teague Out Friday
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague (knee) is out once again for Friday’s game against the Sacramento Kings. The knee has given Teague problems for awhile now, and once again Derrick Rose will be the benefactor. We would expect Rose to get the start, and should be a lock for at least 30 minutes. Tyus […]
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (11/8/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
There are only four games tonight and every day we are seeing progress with each team. The start to every season is difficult because of random rotations, coaching changes and chemistry issues, so by the end of this month, every team will be in a more concrete direction, rather than still trying to figure out […]
Shaun Livingston Will Sit Out on Thursday
Golden State Warriors guard Shaun Livingston (foot) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He did not practice on Wednesday and there is no timetable for his return. Livingston has basically no fantasy value as the backup to Stephen Curry. Quinn Cook will continue to see the backup guard minutes until […]
Cameron Payne Continues to Lose Minutes
Chicago Bulls point guard Cameron Payne continued to struggle in Wednesday’s loss against the New Orleans Pelicans. Even though Payne got the start, he only played 14 minutes shooting 2-for-7 during his time on the floor. His final stat line on the night read a disappointing four points, three steals, and two assists. The Bulls […]
Russell Westbrook is Out on Thursday
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook (ankle) has been ruled out of Thursday's game. The Thunder have not released a timetable for Westbrook, but it's not surprising to see him sit out this back-to-back set. Dennis Schroder will draw the start at point guard while Paul George should see an increase in usage again. […]
Darren Collison Held Scoreless On Wednesday
Indiana Pacers guard Darren Collison didn't score in Wednesday's loss to the 76ers. A popular sleeper pick after he led the NBA in three-point field goal percentage last season, Collison is currently hitting just 28.6 percent of his deep shots and is averaging under 10 points per game for the first time in his NBA […]
D.J. Augustin Plays Very Well On Wednesday
Orlando Magic point guard D.J. Augustin logged a very good 31 minutes on Wednesday against Detroit, scoring 16 points on 6-for-10 shooting and dishing out seven assists with no turnovers. He shot 3-for-6 from deep and picked up three rebounds as well. Augustin was a passenger on this Magic team early in the season, but […]
Reggie Jackson Scores 15 Points In Pistons Win
Detroit Pistons point guard Reggie Jackson was an awful 1-for-6 from behind the arc in Wednesday's win over Orlando, but he managed to shoot a decent 5-for-11 overall and picked up 15 points. Jackson has regained his scoring touch lately after going through a mini-slump, although he hurt his owners with five turnovers on Wednesday. […]
Derrick Rose Scores Team-High 31 Points
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Derrick Rose continued his renaissance on Wednesday night, scoring a team-high 31 points in a 114-110 loss to the Lakers. He was superb from downtown with seven triples and shot 11-for-17 overall from the field. Rose also had five assists in the game with four turnovers. The former league MVP is […]
Another Strong Effort For De'Aaron Fox
Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox ended up with 20 points in Wednesday's 114-105 home loss against the Toronto Raptors. He hit 8-for-15 from the field, including 2-for-4 from the perimeter, while adding four assists and a rebound. It wasn't all great, as his five turnovers were tied for a game high. Ever since flipping […]
