Paul George, Kawhi Leonard Committed To Clippers

Los Angeles Clippers guard Paul George and forward Kawhi Leonard are committed to playing alongside each other. Both players have one year left on their deals, but have player options for the following season. Obviously, they didn't get the result they wanted this season, but they'll have another shot at it soon. The Clippers are […]

Will Barton Likely Out For Western Conference Finals

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Will Barton (knee) is not expected to return to the team at any point of the Western Conference Finals against the Lakers, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. The 29-year-old has not appeared in a game since the NBA restart in Orlando as he continues to rehabilitate from a knee injury […]

Dylan Windler Ready For 5-On-5 Workouts

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dylan Windler (leg) is ready to participate in 5-on-5 workouts. He was a first round pick by the Cavs in 2019, but didn't play in a single game for the team. Windler suffered a leg injury that resulted in surgery, which cost him the entire season. It sounds like he is making […]

NBA DFS Cheat Sheet & Expert Lineups for September 18th

After it seemed all but assured that we’d receive the Lakers-Clippers payoff in the Western Conference Finals that many NBA fans had clamored for since the off-season, the Nuggets weren’t done with their ascension into the upper echelon of the West. With that, Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic have become household names, becoming their own […]

NBA DFS Cheat Sheet & Expert Lineups for September 17th

Game Breakdown Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics After an exciting game one, the Celtics will look to even the series against the Heat. In that game there were four Heat players that played over 40 minutes, while the Celtics had five players over 35 minutes. Miami was surprisingly paced by Tyler Herro and Goran Dragic, […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Has Three-Hour Meeting With Team

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo had a three-hour meeting with co-owner Marc Lasry on Saturday. They reportedly discussed the season and how the Bucks can improve their roster. Lasry confirmed that he is willing to go over the luxury tax this offseason. It sounds like the Bucks are trying everything to keep Antetokounmpo happy in […]

Gordon Hayward Won't Play Tuesday

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Miami Heat. He was listed as doubtful, but it appears Hayward will remain sidelined for this one. Hayward is likely going to need to go through a full practice before being allowed back on the court. The team is […]

With only two games on this Tuesday slate, I'm going to go game-by-game and breakdown my favorite plays from each game as well as my overall strategy for lineup construction on this slate (which can vary on FanDuel and DraftKings due to pricing and position eligibility).   Miami Heat (+1.5) vs. Boston Celtics (208.5 total) […]

Danuel House Could Miss Rest Of The Series

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House (personal) could miss the rest of the playoff series against the Los Angeles Lakers. The NBA is currently doing an investigation on House allegedly sneaking a female into the bubble. It doesn't sound like he'll get back on the court until the NBA makes their decision. That means, Jeff Green, […]

Gordon Hayward Clears Quarantine

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (ankle) is back in the bubble and expected to clear quarantine on Friday. However, he is still not close to getting back on the court after suffering a Grade 3 ankle sprain in mid-August. The hope is that Hayward could return at some point next series, assuming the Celtics advance. […]

Hornets Attempting To Trade Nicolas Batum

Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum is expected to pick up his $27 million player option for next season. It is far more than he'd get in free agency, so there's no reason for him not to accept the deal. It's the final year of his contract, so the Hornets are likely going to attempt to […]

Danuel House Could Miss Game 4

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House (personal) was unable to suit up for Tuesday's Game 3 against the Los Angeles Lakers. He is dealing with a personal issue, so it's unclear if he'll suit up next game. Robert Covington (face), Jeff Green, Austin Rivers, and Ben McLemore would benefit if House is out. Covington is the […]

Robert Covington Should Play In Game 4

Houston Rockets forward Robert Covington (face) is expected to be available for Game 4 against the Los Angeles Lakers. It doesn't sound like his nose is broken and Covington was able to pass the concussion protocol. Danuel House (personal) is questionable for Game 4, which could mean big minutes for Covington. Fantasy owners should check […]

NBA DFS Cheat Sheet & Expert Lineups for September 6th

With only two games on this Tuesday slate, I'm going to go game-by-game and breakdown my favorite plays from each game as well as my overall strategy for lineup construction on this slate (which can vary on FanDuel and DraftKings due to pricing and position eligibility).   Miami Heat (-2) vs. Milwaukee Bucks (219 total) […]

Gordon Hayward Expected To Return To The Bubble Sunday

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (ankle) is expected to rejoin the team in the bubble on Sunday. However, Hayward is not expected to take the court anytime soon, according to head coach Brad Stevens. He has not played in a game since August 17, when he left the arena on crutches. There's a chance that […]

Anthony Davis, LeBron James Probable For Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (finger) and forward LeBron James (groin) are listed as probable for Sunday's Game 2 versus the Houston Rockets. Both superstars have been listed as probable multiple times during the postseason and they continue to play. It doesn't sound like either player is going to be sidelined here. Fantasy owners […]

DeMar DeRozan Expected To Pick Up Player Option

San Antonio Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan is expected to pick up his player option for the 2020-2021 season. DeRozan is slated to make $27.7 million next season, so it's not surprising to see him picking up the option. However, it seems like the team is leaning towards a rebuild, so maybe the Spurs might consider […]

Andre Iguodala Could Sit In Game 3

Miami Heat forward Andre Iguodala (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's Game 3 contest against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was forced to leave during Wednesday's contest due to a right ankle injury. Kelly Olynyk (knee) is banged up as well, which means Meyers Leonard and Derrick Jones could see more minutes coming their way. […]

Jonathan Isaac To Miss Entire 2020-2021 Season

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) is expected to miss the entire 2020-2021 season, according to Magic President Jeff Weltman. In early August, Isaac underwent surgery on his left knee to repair a torn ACL and a meniscus tear. The team has not revealed an official timetable, but it doesn't sound like Isaac will take […]

Gordon Hayward Might Miss Four-Week Timetable

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (ankle) might miss more time than his expected four week timetable, according to head coach Brad Stevens. "We don't anticipate him being available any time before the four weeks, and I think four weeks might even be aggressive," said Stevens. It's highly unlikely he plays during the second-round series and […]

Jimmy Butler Able To Practice On Saturday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (shoulder) was able to practice on Saturday and is not expected to miss any time, according to head coach Erik Spoelstra. Butler is dealing with a banged up shoulder, but the team is confident that he won't miss any games because of it. He'll get at least another day of […]

LeBron James, Anthony Davis Listed As Probable

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) and center Anthony Davis (back) are listed as probable for Saturday's Game 5 against the Portland Trail Blazers. Both players were listed with the same injuries ahead of Game 4 and played their normal workload. Fantasy owners should assume they will continue to play as normal despite minor […]

Jimmy Butler Will Not Undergo An MRI

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (shoulder) is battling an injury, but is not expected to undergo an MRI, according to head coach Erik Spoelstra. He is dealing with a soft tissue shoulder injury and was very limited during Game 4. The Heat already swept the Pacers, so he'll get a few days to rest. It's […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Questionable For Thursday

Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (hip) is listed as questionable for Thursday's Game 6 versus the Los Angeles Clippers. The Mavs are fairly banged up right now, so they could use Finney-Smith on the court. He managed to play through the pain on Tuesday, but didn't play great. He finished with nine points in 27 […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Could Miss Game 5

Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (hip) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was battling some hip soreness during the seeding games, but it appears that issue has returned. Kristaps Porzingis (knee) is already sidelined for this one, which means Maximilian Kleber could be looking at big minutes […]

Derrick Jones Might Sit On Saturday

Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's Game 3 versus the Indiana Pacers. He was dealing with a neck issue, but is no longer listed on the injury report for that. Jones is battling a left ankle sprain after tweaking it during Game 2. Fantasy owners will likely have to […]

Victor Oladipo's 22 Points Not Enough In Game 2

Indiana Pacers shooting guard/small forward Victor Oladipo (eye) managed to put together an inefficient 22 points on Thursday after being a game-time call for Thursday's game. Oladipo connected on just 5-for-14 shooting, yet connected on all eight of his attempts at the line while adding four assists, one board and two steals across 37 minutes […]

T.J. Warren Cannot Connect From Three On Thursday

Indiana Pacers forward T.J. Warren struggled from deep on Thursday, but still managed to connect on a respectable 7-for-15 from the floor to score 14 points in the loss to the Heat in Game 2. Warren also added six rebounds with three assists while committing two turnovers in 38 minutes of action. He lost the […]
