Damian Lillard Struggles From Deep
Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard managed to scrounge up 20 points in the loss to the Rockets on Tuesday night despite shooting a rough 5-for-17 from the field and failing to make a single bucket off of seven three-point attempts. Nonetheless, Lillard has played well and is coming off a 31.4 points-per-game average in […]
Chris Paul Performs Well Against Portland
Houston Rockets guard Chris Paul had a solid outing against the Trail Blazers on Tuesday. Paul scored 22 points, shooting 6-for-16 from the field and 5-for-10 from deep in addition to eight boards and six assists.

D.J. Augustin Dishes 10 Assists
Orlando Magic point guard D.J. Augustin continued his increased production Tuesday against the Toronto Raptors. The veteran point guard scored nine points on 4-for-9 shooting to go along with 10 assists and three rebounds in 35 minutes.

Kyle Lowry Scores 25 Points In Win
Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry took advantage of extra usage without DeMar DeRozan (rest) Tuesday against the Orlando Magic. Lowry led his team to a win with 25 points on 9-for-17 shooting, eight assists and five rebounds. This marks Lowry's second straight 20-point game after missing a game for rest purposes. Head coach Dwane […]
DeMar DeRozan and Fred VanVleet Ruled Out Tuesday
The Toronto Raptors have ruled out guards DeMar DeRozan (rest) and Fred VanVleet (hand) ahead of Tuesday night's game against the Orlando Magic. Head coach Dwane Casey hinted earlier in the week that he could be resting players ahead of the Tuesday-Wednesday back-to-back, and DeRozan seems the first to be rested. VanVleet will miss his second […]
Jrue Holiday Will Sit Out Tuesday
New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (illness) will not play in Tuesday night's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Holiday came down with flu-like symptoms ahead of Tuesday and will take the night off to recover. In Holiday's absence, look for Ian Clark to pick up additional minutes on the wing while the rest of the […]
Kyrie Irving Remains Sidelined on Tuesday
Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Head coach Brad Stevens made it clear on Sunday that they won't bring Irving back until he's 100 percent.

Reggie Jackson Could Play on Tuesday
Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest versus the Phoenix Suns. Head coach Stan Van Gundy said Jackson could be making his return sometime his week. It's unclear what kind of minutes limit Jackson will be dealing with upon his return. Ish Smith is going to lose playing time […]
Devin Booker is Questionable on Tuesday
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hand) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He missed Saturday's contest versus the Warriors and was limited in practice on Monday. Troy Daniels performed well in his spot start for Booker on Saturday. Josh Jackson scored a career-high 36 points off the bench in that contest. Owners […]
Fred VanVleet is Questionable on Tuesday
Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet (hand) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. The team is listing him as day-to-day, so hopefully it's just a minor issue. The Raptors will be cautious with him since they have plenty of depth at the guard position. Toronto has a back-to-back set starting Tuesday, so […]
Quinn Cook Scores 20 Points In Loss To Spurs
Golden State Warriors guard Quinn Cook scored 20 points with five rebounds and five assists in a loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night. Quinn has done a great job substituting the Splash Brothers while they are out, as this is the third straight double-digit game for Cook in the scoring department. Unfortunately, […]

Andrew Harrison Shines On Monday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Andrew Harrison had one of his best games of the season on Monday, scoring 19 points and dishing out eight assists in a 118-115 loss to Brooklyn. He played 31 minutes in his first game this month after sitting out the previous nine games with a wrist problem. Harrison shot 7-for-16 from […]
D'Angelo Russell Struggles In Nets Win
Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell had a rough night on Monday, shooting just 5-for-17 and making only one of 10 three-point attempts against the Memphis Grizzlies, ending up with 14 points in 32 minutes.

Isaiah Thomas Struggles Against Indiana
Los Angeles Lakers guard Isaiah Thomas had a night to forget on Monday in the loss to the Pacers. Thomas came off the bench, playing 25 minutes and scoring only 11 points on a rough 4-for-14 from the field. He also failed to make any of his five three-point attempts and had only three assists. […]
Lonzo Ball Doesn’t Show Up On Monday
Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonzo Ball was virtually irrelevant on Monday in the 110-100 loss to the Pacers. Ball played 37 minutes but only managed to score four points. He did pull down eight boards and come away with a few steals, but overall, it was not a good night for the rookie. Ball continues […]
Eric Bledsoe Can't Find His Shot But Contributes Elsewhere
Milwaukee Bucks point guard Eric Bledsoe had 13 points, four rebounds, eight assists, two steals and two blocks in the team's loss to the Cavaliers. Bledsoe just could not find his shot, as he went 5-for-15 from the field, including 1-for-8 from deep. Luckily, he somewhat saved his performance with four combined blocks and steals, […]
Ben Simmons Notches Fourth Triple-Double
Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons was all over the floor Monday night in a win over the Charlotte Hornets. Simmons recorded another triple-double with 11 points, 15 assists and 12 rebounds in 33 minutes. This was his fourth on the year and third in his last four games. Simmons is clicking at the right […]
Kemba Walker Bounces Back With 24 Points
Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker returned to form Monday night against the Philadelphia 76ers after a subpar outing Saturday. Walker posted a full line with 24 points on 8-for-19 shooting, eight rebounds, six assists, three steals and one block in 40 minutes. Walker's line could have been monstrous, but he went an abysmal 1-for-9 […]
Cameron Payne Shoots Terribly On Monday
Chicago Bulls point guard Cameron Payne is starting since Kris Dunn (toe) is out. Though he looked exciting at times in Monday's loss to the Knicks -- he grabbed six rebounds and had six assists as well -- his shot wasn't falling. Payne went just 2-for-12 from the field and finished with four points. Payne […]
Andrew Harrison is Questionable on Monday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Andrew Harrison (wrist) is questionable for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He was expected to miss one to two weeks roughly two weeks ago. There is a chance that Harrison rejoins the rotation on Monday, but he'll likely be eased back into things. Harrison spent a few weeks on the sidelines, so owners […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/19/18): NBA DFS Lineups
We have a nice fat slate of eight games tonight and all are set up to be good games. Most of the teams playing tonight are in similar situations, whether it's fighting for seeding or just to salvage as many wins as possible, there should be minimal amount of blowouts and ALL of these teams […]
Dwyane Wade Out on Monday
Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This will be Wade's fourth game sidelined and he could be looking at a few more since hamstring issues often linger. Fantasy owners may want to drop Wade at this point because he'll likely be out a couple […]
Rajon Rondo Dishes Out 11 Assists On Sunday
New Orleans Pelicans point guard Rajon Rondo delivered 11 assists on Sunday, as the team easily took care of his former team, the Boston Celtics, 108-89. Rondo's assist numbers have been down this month, but he does have two 10-plus assist outings in his last three games, so he's still a reliable fantasy source for […]
Jrue Holiday Rides Back Seat In Pelicans Win
New Orleans Pelicans point guard Jrue Holiday had his second game with less than 10 points this month on Sunday, scoring just seven against Boston with a season-low five field goal attempts. The Pelicans dominated the injury-plagued Celtics, so Holiday's production wasn't really needed and he ended up playing only 28 minutes. Holiday has been […]
Russell Westbrook Has Another Extraordinary Performance
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook had another great game versus the Toronto Raptors on Sunday. Westbrook scored 37 points, shooting 15-for-22 from the field and 6-for-8 from the free throw line. Westbrook also had 14 assists and 13 rebounds. Currently, Westbrook has been performing extremely well, averaging 24.6 points, 11.4 assists and 11.6 […]
Zach LaVine Won't Play on Monday
Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the New York Knicks. LaVine missed Saturday's game due to knee tendinitis. It sounds like he will be sidelined another game due to the same issue. Justin Holiday will likely return to the rotation. However, Holiday is tough to trust in […]
Kris Dunn Won't Play Monday
Chicago Bulls guard Kris Dunn (toe) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. Head coach Fred Hoiberg said Dunn is dealing with "like a turf-toe type injury." It sounds like Dunn could be sidelined a few more games because this issue could linger. Cameron Payne is actually a solid addition […]
