DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/26/18): NBA DFS Lineups

Since I have taken over the Monday and Tuesday Draftkings articles, we'll start strong. First off, stacking the Pelicans-Suns game will be your best bet, especially going in on Anthony Davis. The Pelicans are one of three teams on the second night of a back-to-back, the Pistons and Rockets being the others, but Davis is […]

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul scored 23 points on 6-for-14 shooting to go along with his five rebounds, six assists, two steals and two treys in a big win over the Denver Nuggets.

Avery Bradley Out 1-3 Weeks

Los Angeles Clippers guard Avery Bradley (groin) will miss the next one to three weeks of action.

Teodosic and Rivers are worth […]

Zach LaVine Won't Play in Back-to-Back Sets

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) will not play in back-to-back sets for the reminder of the season. The Bulls will continue to be cautious with LaVine as his knee recovers. This move also improves the chances of the Bulls landing a higher pick in the upcoming draft. The Bulls have four more back-to-back sets, […]

Eric Bledsoe is Probable for Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe (wrist) is probable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Head coach Joe Prunty is listing Bledsoe as probable, but he is technically a game-time call for Sunday. He's expected to be out there barring any setbacks during warmups. Owners should check back before tip-off, but Bledsoe is expected […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/24/18): NBA DFS Lineups

There are a lot of solid options in the first weekend back after the horrendously long All-Star break. Due to a projected low-score and slow-pace, I am staying away from Miami/Memphis and Dallas/Utah games with OKC/Golden State and Portland/Phoenix being our highest-scoring and fastest-paced games of the day. In this article, I will be providing […]

C.J. McCollum Drops Game-High 26 Points

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard C.J. McCollum lit up the Utah Jazz in a win on Friday night. He dropped a game-high 26 points on an efficient 11-for-21 shooting.

Donovan Mitchell Drops 21 Points

Utah Jazz shooting guard Donovan Mitchell had a decent scoring game despite his team getting blown out by the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night. Mitchell scored 21 points, which included four three-pointers, and he added three rebounds and one steal. While the scoring was nice, Mitchell wasn't particularly efficient, making just eight of 20 […]

Ricky Rubio Struggles In Return From Injury

Utah Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio did not look good in his first game back from a hip injury on Friday night. He only scored four points to go along with four rebounds and two assists in just 19 minutes. It was an all-around terrible night for the Jazz offense, as they scored just 81 […]

Raul Neto Ruled Out Saturday

Utah Jazz point guard Raul Neto (ankle) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. This will be the second straight game that Neto has missed due to an injury at shootaround. We could also see the Jazz limiting Ricky Rubio in a back-to-back set. Royce O'Neale, Jae Crowder and possibly Alec […]

Shane Larkin is Questionable for Saturday

Boston Celtics point guard Shane Larkin (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. He has been sidelined since late January, but has been making progress lately. Larkin was able to return to full practice on Thursday, but his playing time is going to be limited. Marcus Smart (hand) and Terry Rozier […]

Tyreke Evans Ruled Out on Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (ribs) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He injured his rib in the fourth quarter of Friday's loss to Cleveland.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday played a big role in his team's overtime win against Miami on Friday, scoring 29 points on 11-for -20 shooting and dishing out nine assists.
