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 […]
Allen Crabbe is Probable on Monday
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Allen Crabbe (illness) is probable for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Crabbe has missed two straight games due to illness, but is expected to return on Monday. The Nets are always cautious with injuries, but it was surprising to see Crabbe miss both games of the back-to-back set. Joe Harris has […]
Kyrie Irving is Questionable on Sunday
Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Irving has missed two straight games and three of his last five contests. The Celtics are in good position for the playoffs, so they can afford to be cautious with Irving. Terry Rozier and Jayson Tatum have been playing […]
Rajon Rondo Will Start on Sunday
New Orleans Pelicans point guard Rajon Rondo (rest) will start against the Boston Celtics on Sunday. He sat out of Saturday's contest versus the Houston Rockets. It was the front end of a back-to-back set for the Pelicans, so it was not surprising to see them resting their vets like Rondo. DeAndre Liggins and Ian […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/18/18): NBA DFS Lineups
We're back to an extremely small Sunday slate, which is generally the case. There are only three games, meaning we'll have to dig for some value. It is far from the best NBA slate on the season, but it's all we have tonight. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy […]
Quinn Cook Leads Warriors To Win
Golden State Warriors guard Quinn Cook led his team to a 124-109 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Saturday. Cook got the start in favor of guard Stephen Curry (ankle) and took advantage of the opportunity, scoring 28 points on the night on an efficient 11-for-17 from the field and 5-for-7 from deep. He also […]
Jamal Murray Struggles Shooting
Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray had a difficult time Saturday night versus the Memphis Grizzlies. Murray scored 16 points, going 5-for-18 from the field and 5-for-5 from the free throw line. Murray also had three boards and three assists. So far for the month of March, Murray is shooting 45.7 percent from the floor, […]
Dennis Schroder Fouls Out With 18 Points
Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder scored 18 points to go with nine assists, three rebounds, a steal, and three turnovers in the loss to the Bucks. Schroder played 35 minutes before he fouled out late in the fourth quarter. On Tuesday, the Hawks face the Jazz, who have been locked in defensively recently. Over […]
Zach LaVine is Questionable on Saturday
Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Noah Vonleh (toe) is also questionable for Saturday's contest, according to head coach Fred Hoiberg. LaVine is dealing with tendinitis in his knee and will likely be a game-time decision, according to Vincent Goodwill. Kris Dunn (toe) and Lauri Markkanen […]
Kris Dunn Ruled Out Against Cavs
Chicago Bulls guard Kris Dunn (toe) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest, according to head coach Fred Hoiberg. Dunn suffered the injury during Thursday's victory over the Grizzlies. The X-rays came back negative and Dunn is listed as day-to-day. However, the Bulls are tanking and have little incentive to rush Dunn back onto the […]
Allen Crabbe is Doubtful on Saturday
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Allen Crabbe (illness) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The Nets held out Crabbe from Friday's contest versus the Philadelphia 76ers. It would not be surprising to see Crabbe sidelined again since it's a back-to-back set. Joe Harris logged in 36 minutes during Friday's contest and knocked down three […]
Devin Booker is Questionable Against Warriors
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hand) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Booker shot an awful three of 18 from the field during Thursday's contest with the Jazz. He still played 34 minutes, but obviously something is bothering him. Elfrid Payton, Shaquille Harrison, Troy Daniels and Josh Jackson would all benefit if Booker sits out […]
Goran Dragic Stays Hot Against Los Angeles
Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic played well against the youthful Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. With Dwyane Wade (hamstring) and center Hassan Whiteside (hip) both out nursing their respective injuries, Dragic was ready to take on an additional workload. The All-Star contributed 30 points on 10-for-18 shooting from the field and an efficient 4-for-7 from […]
Lonzo Ball's Shooting Woes Continue
Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonzo Ball had a rough night in the narrow loss to the Miami Heat on Friday. Ball finished things up with yet another inefficient shooting performance, going 4-for-15 from the field and 1-for-3 from downtown. He was able to salvage his shoddy offensive performance by adding in eight boards, eight assists, […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/17/18): NBA DFS Lineups
We have a 10 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 […]
Allen Crabbe is Questionable Against 76ers
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Allen Crabbe (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He did not go through practice on Thursday, which is not a good sign. Joe Harris would be the best candidate to start, since it seems head coach Kenny Atkinson likes to put Caris LeVert and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson […]
Josh Richardson is Doubtful on Friday
Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson (foot) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He missed Wednesday's contest and that was his first absence of the season. He was the only Heat player to start every game before this injury occurred. Justise Winslow, Tyler Johnson, and Wayne Ellington will continue to see increased […]
J.J. Barea Expected to Play Friday
Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea (rib) is expected to play on Friday versus the Toronto Raptors, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. He suffered the injury in Tuesday's game against the Knicks. This does not appear to be a serious issue and Barea should be ready to go by game time. Dennis Smith Jr. and […]
Austin Rivers Scores 20 Points In Loss To Rockets
Los Angeles Clippers point guard Austin Rivers scored 20 points in a 101-96 loss to the Rockets. He also notched three rebounds and a turnover for the game. Considering the Clippers will have an excellent playoff schedule down the stretch, Rivers will be a hot waiver wire pickup after this performance. The Clippers will have […]
Tyreke Evans Scores 25 Points In Return
Memphis Grizzlies guard Tyreke Evans (ribs) returned to action on Thursday night, scoring 25 points against the Chicago Bulls and looking great in his first game since Feb. 23. He shot 8-for-18 from the field, 5-for-9 from deep, and dished out nine assists in 33 minutes, also grabbing five rebounds and recording a couple of […]
Damian Lillard Has Rough Night Shooting Against Cavs
Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard had a rough night against the Cavs on Thursday. Lillard scored 24 points on the night despite going only 7-for-20 from the field and 1-for-8 from downtown. He did make up for his shoddy shooting percentages by going a perfect 9-for-9 from the charity stripe in addition to dishing […]
Kyle Lowry Scores 13 Points in Indiana
Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry had a decent outing on Thursday in Indiana, scoring 13 points against the Pacers and connecting on three treys in the contest, which happened to be his only makes in the game (3-for-10). Lowry did, however, make all four of his free throw attempts and contributed six rebounds and […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/16/18): NBA DFS Lineups
There was a sizable slate last night, which leaves only a six game slate for tonight. That's kind of odd, as Friday is generally the "big day" for the NBA. March Madness is going on right now, though, so maybe the NBA does not want to compete for ratings. Regardless, we still have plenty of […]
Dennis Schroder Quiet In Fifth Straight Loss
Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder scored 17 points to go with eight assists and a rebound in the Hawks' loss to the Hornets. This marks the Hawks' fifth straight loss, and this season is as good as over. Next, Schroder and the Hawks face the Bucks, who have been average against opposing point guards […]
Tyreke Evans Will Return And Start
Memphis Grizzlies guard Tyreke Evans (ribs) will start Thursday night against the Chicago Bulls. Evans has had a lengthy absence with a rib injury but despite the Grizzlies being out of the playoff race, he will return to the starting lineup with Andrew Harrison (wrist) and Mario Chalmers (hamstring) out. Evans was one of the […]
Goran Dragic Leads All Scorers With 33 Points
Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic dominated the Sacramento Kings defense Wednesday night, tying his season high with 33 points on 11-for-21 shooting. Dragic had no problem weaving through the paint but did not contribute much else on the stat sheet outside of points. Dragic remains a low-end scoring point guard who struggles with inconsistency, […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/15/18): NBA DFS Lineups
We have a nice slate of games for a Thursday, with many of them projected to run close, as well as be high-scoring. Not many significant injuries to work with, so your best bet will be to work on matchups, game pace and the over/under. In this article, I will be providing you with my […]
Devin Booker is Questionable Thursday
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hand) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. He jammed his hand at practice on Wednesday, but it did not appear too significant at the time. Booker said he'll try to play against the Jazz on Thursday, but he will remain a risky fantasy option. The fact that […]
Andrew Harrison Ruled Out Against Bulls
Memphis Grizzlies guard Andrew Harrison (wrist) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He's missed seven straight games and will likely miss a few more games. Harrison was playing well before the injury, but that does not mean he should be owned in fantasy leagues. He doesn't appear that close to […]
Mario Chalmers is Doubtful on Thursday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Mario Chalmers (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Chalmers has been sidelined for five straight games, but was recently re-evaluated. It sounds like he has not made much progress since he's still being listed as doubtful. Kobi Simmons is likely looking at another start with Briante […]
