Dennis Schroder With Weak Performance

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder had a night to forget in his team's blowout loss to the Indiana Pacers.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/23/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We're back to another huge Friday slate! We had six games last night to wet our whistles, but it's now time for a slate with double digit games. It seems as if most player's price tags dropped a bit from the All Star Break, which gives up a lot of good value, even if they […]

Russell Westbrook Nails Game-Winning Three Against The Kings

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook had ice in his veins against the Sacramento Kings, dropping the game-winning three-pointer.

[…]

Goran Dragic's Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic isn't having his best season and more specifically, his numbers are down from last season in points, assists and steals per game, as well as field-goal percentage.
