New Orleans Pelicans point guard Jrue Holiday had a really good game on Tuesday against the Hornets, getting 25 points on 11-for-21 shooting and providing nine assists in 39 minutes on the floor. He had combined for just 22 points in the previous two games, so we can say that he broke out of a […]

Stephen Curry Will Miss Next Four Games

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/13/18): NBA DFS Lineups

There are plenty of games tonight and the value is there but scarce. With the amount of superstars playing you are going to need to pay up in the right places.

Dennis Schroder is Probable on Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder (elbow) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was a late stratch from Sunday's contest. Isaiah Taylor earned the start on Sunday but will head back to the bench for Tuesday's game. Kent Bazemore (knee) won't play again this season, which means Schroder should see […]

Kyrie Irving Could Miss Games This Week

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (knee) could miss a few games this week. He said after Sunday's game that his knee felt "achy" and he could need some time to rest up. Boston is up seven games on the Cavs for the No. 2 seed, so there is no urgency to have Irving on the […]

Dwyane Wade Ruled Out Monday

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
