Chris Paul Likely Resting on Thursday

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The Rockets plan to rest Paul as a precaution, according to Tim MacMahon.

Ben Simmons Shines All Over The Court In Sixers Win

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons was unstoppable on Wednesday night against the Grizzlies, as he shined all over the court, getting 13 points, nine assists, seven rebounds and two steals in just 25 minutes.

Tyler Johnson Scores Team-High 22

Miami Heat point guard/shooting guard Tyler Johnson was efficient from the field on Wednesday night. He scored 22 points on 9-for-13 shooting while also hitting 4-of-6 from deep.

Austin Rivers Heats Up Late

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Austin Rivers started off slow on Wednesday against the Bucks, but had a very strong finish to his game in the win over Milwaukee. Rivers filled up the stat sheet in this one, producing in every category across the board in his game-high 38 minutes. He drained five three-pointers on his […]

Bledsoe chipped in with three […]

D'Angelo Russell Plays Well Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell had a solid outing Wednesday night against the Charlotte Hornets. Russell had 19 points going 7-for-17 from the floor. Also in the contest, Russell had five assists and four rebounds. Since March first Russell has struggled shooting 40 percent from the floor. The next game for the Nets and […]

Kemba Walker Scores Well But Inefficiently

Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker had solid counting stats Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets. Walker scored 24 points going 6-for-25 from the field but did go 11-for-11 from the charity stripe. In the contest, Walker also had six assists, five rebounds, and two steals. For the month of March, Walker has struggled shooting 41.1 […]

George Hill Nearly Perfect From The Field Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard George Hill was unconscious from the field in a win over the Toronto Raptors Wednesday. Hill finished with 22 points on a blistering 10-for-11 shooting in 36 minutes.

Fred VanVleet Will Play Wednesday, C.J. Miles Will Sit

The Toronto Raptors will have guard Fred VanVleet (hand) return to the lineup Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but will not have C.J. Miles (illness) available. VanVleet is returning after a two-game absence with a hand injury while Miles is suffering from gastroenteritis and will not suit up. With these injuries, VanVleet, Delon Wright and […]

Jrue Holiday Set To Return Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (illness) will return to the starting lineup Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers. Holiday sat out Tuesday's game with flu-like symptoms, but feels healthy enough to return without any restrictions per coach Alvin Gentry. With Holiday back, the rest of the starters will see a decrease in usage and backup […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/21/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We have an eight game slate and there are some interesting options across the board. Not a ton of injuries as of right now, so lineup construction should be pretty straight forward, which could make it difficult to get some of the bigger name players into the same lineup. In this article, I will be providing […]

Zach LaVine Won't Play on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This will mark LaVine's third straight game on the sidelines. He was struggling before the injury and is someone worth dropping in most leagues right now. The Bulls are tanking, so they can afford to wait until LaVine […]

Fred VanVleet is Questionable on Wednesday

Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet (hand) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He's missed two straight games and is in danger of missing his third straight contest. Delon Wright and C.J. Miles will continue to fill in for VanVleet if he's unable to suit up on Wednesday. He's being […]

Jrue Holiday is Questionable on Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (illness) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He missed Tuesday's game versus the Mavs due to illness, which led to DeAndre Liggins and Ian Clark seeing more playing time. Anthony Davis' usage rate spikes when Holiday is not on the court. He'll be […]

Dwyane Wade Ruled Out Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (hamstring) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. This marks Wade's fifth straight game sidelined. It does not appear that Wade is even close to returning. Fantasy owners should drop Wade for a hot pickup right now. Wayne Ellington and Justise Winslow will continue to […]

Tyreke Evans Won't Play Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (rest) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. It's unclear why Evans is resting, but he'll miss his second straight game on Wednesday. It's likely due to the fact Memphis plays a back-to-back set on Wednesday and Thursday. However, that does not mean Evans will play […]

Russell Westbrook Nearly Earns a Triple-Double Versus Celtics

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook scored 27 points with eight rebounds, seven assists and a steal in a narrow loss to the Celtics on Tuesday night.

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Rajon Rondo heavily benefited from the absence of Jrue Holiday (illness) Tuesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Rondo posted 19 points on 8-for-14 shooting, 14 assists, nine rebounds and three steals in the 10-point win. Rondo has been rejuvenated lately, filling up the stat sheet. Now the Pelicans are in the […]

J.J. Barea Plays Admirably In Starting Lineup

Dallas Mavericks point guard J.J. Barea filled in well without Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) on Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Austin Rivers Doesn't Do Much In 35 Minutes Versus Minnesota

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Austin Rivers played a very ineffective 35 minutes on Tuesday against the Timberwolves, finishing with just 10 points and one assist. He did some good work from downtown, sinking two of five triples, but shot a poor 4-for-14 overall. Rivers had a couple of 20-point outings last week, so it […]

Lou Williams Stays Quiet In Loss To Minnesota

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams, who scored 30 points over the weekend against Portland, had to settle for just 15 in Tuesday's loss to Minnesota, shooting 4-for-11 from the floor and missing both attempts from downtown.

Jeff Teague Grabs Second Consecutive Double-Double

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague recorded a second consecutive double-double in Tuesday's win over the Clippers, finishing with 20 points and 12 assists.
