There are only three games tonight and while that usually seems like a bummer, it's still something we can work with.

Gordon Hayward Leads Celtics In Plus/Minus
Boston Celtics small forward Gordon Hayward filled the stat sheet during Wednesday’s win over the Chicago Bulls, finishing with 11 points, four rebounds, four assists and three steals, with the Celtics finishing plus-24 while he was on the floor. The scoring drought continues to be a concern for Hayward, but if owners can take any […]
Jaylen Brown Scores Season-High 18 Points
Boston Celtics shooting guard/small forward Jaylen Brown scored a season-high 18 points during Wednesday night's win over the Chicago Bulls. His performance comes on the heels of taking a season-low seven shots last time out against the Portland Trail Blazers, so it’s a step in the right direction for the third-year wing who is attempting […]
Jayson Tatum Knocks Down Quartet Of Threes
Boston Celtics power forward Jayson Tatum stayed hot from long range, knocking down 4-for-8 from three-point range during Wednesday’s win over the Chicago Bulls. After drilling five threes during Sunday’s loss to Portland, it marks the first time in Tatum’s career he’s hit at least four treys in back-to-back games. He added six rebounds and […]
Danny Green Suffers Third-Quarter Injury
Toronto Raptors shooting guard/small forward Danny Green (back) left Wednesday night's game against the Detroit Pistons during the third quarter and he was unable to return.

Mikal Bridges Gets First NBA Start
Phoenix Suns small forward Mikal Bridges will make his first career start on Wednesday night against the Spurs. The 6-foot-7 rookie replaces veteran Trevor Ariza (personal) in the starting lineup. Bridges has been up and down this season and his minutes have fluctuated as well. He is coming off one of his better games against […]
Trevor Ariza Not With Team Wednesday
Phoenix Suns forward Trevor Ariza (personal) will miss Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Ariza is away from the team for personal reasons which have not been confirmed. In Ariza's absence, Mikal Bridges will be getting the starting nod while T.J. Warren and Josh Jackson should also get more run on the wing.
Wesley Matthews Good To Go Wednesday
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (hamstring) will play Wednesday night against the Utah Jazz. Matthews missed Monday's game with a hamstring injury, but was listed as probable coming into Wednesday. Still, due to the nature of hamstring injuries, it is encouraging Matthews is only missing one game with the injury. Dorian Finney-Smith will return to […]
Derrick Rose Will Not Play Wednesday Night
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Derrick Rose (knee) will be sidelined Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Rose is battling some knee soreness and will get the night off as the Timberwolves exercise caution. In Rose's absence, newly acquired forward Robert Covington will make his debut in the starting lineup and should fit in nicely with […]
Cedi Osman Will Return Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman (back) will play Wednesday night against the Washington Wizards. Osman has missed his last two games with back spasms, but after returning to practice, he feels ready enough to get back onto the court.

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (11/14/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
We have an 11-game slate tonight, with fantastic options at each position, so you will be looking to jam some of these studs in your lineups. We are a few games into the season and starting to see some good numbers when it comes to usage rate and fantasy points per minute. In this article, […]
Wesley Matthews is Probable on Wednesday
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (hamstring) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Matthews was unable to suit up for Monday's contest against the Chicago Bulls. Dorian Finney-Smith would return to the bench and be irrelevant in fantasy basketball if Matthews returns on Wednesday.
Cedi Osman Remains Questionable on Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He returned to practice on Monday, but didn't play in Tuesday's contest versus the Charlotte Hornets. It's fairly safe to assume that if he didn't play Tuesday, then he probably won't be ready for Wednesday. Kyle Korver (foot) has already […]
Nikola Mirotic Will Play on Wednesday
New Orleans Pelicans forward Nikola Mirotic (ankle) will play in Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Mirotic shouldn't be facing a minutes limit after only missing two games with a minor ankle issue. Julius Randle should head back to the bench and see his value take a hit. E'Twaun Moore is expected to lose some […]
Kyle Korver Ruled Out on Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Kyle Korver (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game. He didn't practice on Monday and missed Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.

Luc Mbah a Moute is Questionable for Thursday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Luc Mbah a Moute (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He's been out since October 23, but head coach Doc Rivers continues to hint that Mbah a Moute is close. He'll likely have a minutes limit once he returns and it's already unclear when that will […]
Jonathan Isaac Will Play on Wednesday
Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (ankle) will play in Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He will be working under a minutes limit because he's missed the last six games. Wes Iwundu will lose a significant amount of playing time with the return of Isaac. Terrence Ross could lose some value as well, but he's […]
RotoBaller NBA Recap: Addition By Subtraction
We've all heard the phrase, "addition by subtraction" - a phrase which, by definition, is impossible to comprehend. I mean, how can you complete the process of adding something to something else while taking one number or amount away from another? It makes no sense. Unless, of course, you're the Cleveland Cavaliers, Houston Rockets, or Golden State […]
Nikola Vucevic, Evan Fournier Will Play on Wednesday
Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic (soreness) and guard/forward Evan Fournier (soreness) will play in Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Head coach Steve Cifford said both players are dealing with minor injuries, but will play through them. The Magic have played seven games in 11 days, so it makes sense why some players are dealing […]
James Ennis Effective Against Nuggets
Houston Rockets forward James Ennis scored 16 points on 6-for-8 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Denver Nuggets. He also added four rebounds and a pair of blocks. Ennis has been wildly inconsistent with his scoring output for the Rockets this season, and coming into Tuesday's game had scored a combined seven points over his […]
Jimmy Butler is Starting on Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jimmy Butler will make his Sixers debut on Wednesday versus the Orlando Magic. He'll join Ben Simmons, J.J. Redick, Wilson Chandler and Joel Embiid in the starting five. This is likely going to be the starting lineup that the Sixers continue to roll with for the foreseeable future. Butler is a safe […]
Derrick Jones is Questionable on Wednesday
Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones (illness) didn't participate in shootaround and is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He's been inconsistent all season, meaning DFS players should stay away regardless of his status. Justise Winslow should see a few extra minutes if Jones sits out. More information should be known closer to […]
Kevin Durant Scores 29 Points Without Draymond Green
Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant scored 29 points during Tuesday's win over the Atlanta Hawks. Durant hit nine of 23 shots and 11 of 11 free throws to go along with six rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block in 37 minutes. Not a bad showing after Monday's tumultuous display between him and […]
Kevin Knox Will Start on Wednesday
New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox will return to the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Damyean Dotson will head to the bench and that will likely be the case for the foreseeable future. Knox has scored 17 points over his last two games, so the Knicks will ride his hot […]
Dario Saric, Robert Covington Will Play on Wednesday
Minnesota Timberwolves forwards Dario Saric and Robert Covington will make their debuts with the Wolves on Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Head coach Tom Thibodeau didn't say whether they would start or not. Taj Gibson could continue drawing starts until Saric is up to speed, but regardless Saric should see plenty of minutes. DFS […]
Nicolas Batum Has 11 Points Against Cavs
Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Nicolas Batum had 11 points on 5-for-12 shooting in Tuesday's 113-89 loss to Cleveland, finishing with 11 points. Three of his missed came from downtown. He also notched five rebounds and three assists. Batum used to be a very good fantasy asset, as he can fill it up in multiple categories, but […]
P.J. Tucker Starting Tuesday
Houston Rockets forward P.J. Tucker (illness) will start Tuesday night against the Denver Nuggets. Tucker came into the contest questionable with an illness but was fully expected to play through it. Should Tucker suffer any sort of a setback, Gary Clark would get more run but is not currently a recommended fantasy option.
Rudy Gay And Pau Gasol Sitting Out Wednesday
San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (rest) and forward/center Pau Gasol (foot) will not play Wednesday night against the Phoenix Suns. Gay is getting a night off before the Spurs enter a back-to-back on Wednesday and Thursday while Gasol is not expected to play during the road trip with foot soreness. With the absences of […]
