Khris Middleton Scores 17 Points Against Warriors
Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Khris Middleton provided 17 points to go along with three rebounds, six assists, three steals, one block and two three-pointers in 29 minutes of action. Middleton wasn't very effective from the floor, going just 6-for-16 in total and 2-for-9 from deep, but his +33 plus/minus rating was the best on the team. […]
Giannis Antetokounmpo Makes MVP Case In Prime-Time Game
Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 24 points with nine rebounds, four assists, two blocks, two steals and two turnovers in 26 minutes against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday. Antetokounmpo is currently sharing the lead with Russell Westbrook for usage percentage at 33.4 percent and is top 15 in both points per game and […]
Andre Iguodala Should Be Left On Waiver Wire
Golden State Warriors guard/ forward Andre Iguodala scored six points to go along with two rebounds, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in 16 minutes against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. Iguodala is averaging only 3.1 points in 18.7 minutes of action this season, and it appears as if the Warriors will actively be […]
Kevin Durant Scores 17 Points During Blowout Loss
Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant scored 17 points on six of 15 shooting against the Milwaukee Bucks during Thursday's blowout home loss. Durant added in nine assists and five rebounds on the night, but his six turnovers didn't help the team's cause. The 30-year-old has been brilliant on the season, averaging 26.8 points, 7.3 […]
T.J. Warren Will Start Thursday
Phoenix Suns small forward T.J. Warren will be back in the starting rotation Thursday against the Celtics. Coach Igor Kokoskov said having Warren start gives the Suns more flexibility when containing the ball on defense. This will hurt Ryan Anderson as he moves back into a bench role, and should probably see around 22-28 minutes […]
Bogdan Bogdanovic Will Rest Friday
Sacramento Kings guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (rest) won’t be available in Friday’s game against the Timberwolves. Bogdanovic played limited minutes in his first game back on Wednesday, and the Kings are looking to work him back slowly. This should lock in Iman Shumpert’s minutes for the game now that Bogdanovic is ruled out. Perhaps the biggest […]
Tim Hardaway Jr. Sinks 16 Free Throws
New York Knicks shooting guard/small forward Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 34 points on 8-for-22 shooting, 2-for-11 from beyond the arc and 16-for-20 from the free-throw line in Wednesday's victory over the Hawks. He added one rebound, three assists, one block along with three steals in 34 minutes. The 26-year-old wing counter-balanced his worst shooting performance […]
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (11/8/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
There are only four games tonight and every day we are seeing progress with each team. The start to every season is difficult because of random rotations, coaching changes and chemistry issues, so by the end of this month, every team will be in a more concrete direction, rather than still trying to figure out […]
Damyean Dotson Makes A Single Three-Pointer
New York Knicks shooting guard Damyean Dotson had three points, three rebounds and two assists in Wednesday's victory over the Hawks. He made his lone shot of the evening, a three-pointer, in 18 minutes. It marked the rookie's lowest minutes and point totals of the campaign. Dotson had scored in double figures in his first […]
Tobias Harris is Questionable on Thursday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Tobias Harris (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He didn't go through shootaround, but there is still plenty of time before tip-off. Danilo Gallinari would see an increase in usage without Harris in the rotation. Montrezl Harrell and Mike Scott would likely gain significant […]
Justin Holiday Struggles From Deep
Chicago Bulls small forward Justin Holiday struggled from behind the arc on Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Holiday saw 38 minutes of playing time, which led to 17 points, including a 3-for-12 performance from deep. He also managed to swipe three steals, dish two assists, grab a rebound, and swat one. Holiday has continued […]
Gordon Hayward Expected to Play in Back-to-Back Set
Boston Celtics guard/forward Gordon Hayward is expected to play in both games of the upcoming back-to-back set. Head coach Brad Stevens says he plans to have Hayward play on both Thursday and Friday. This would be his first back-to-back games of the season. He's started off the season a bit slow after a leg injury […]
Dario Saric Continues To Improve
Philadelphia 76ers forward Dario Saric had a rough start to the season, but in Wednesday's win over the Pacers he had his second consecutive game with double-digit scoring as he poured in 18 points on 6-for-13 shooting. Saric also made four of his six attempts from three and grabbed seven rebounds. He'll look to keep […]
Terrence Ross Continues To Impress
Orlando Magic guard/forward Terrence Ross kept his recent good momentum in Wednesday's game against the Pistons, scoring 15 points off the bench in 28 minutes. He shot 6-for-12 from the field, including 2-for-5 from three-point land. Ross also provided four rebounds with one block and one steal in the game. The former Raptor has now […]
Evan Fournier Scores Team-High 27 Points
Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier scored a team-high 27 points on Wednesday against the Pistons, shooting 12-for-19 from the field and 3-for-6 from downtown. He posted one of his best fantasy lines of the season, adding five rebounds, three assists, three steals, and one block. Fournier is a good shooter, but this was actually only […]
Stanley Johnson Shows Signs Of Life On Wednesday
Detroit Pistons small forward Stanley Johnson played a solid 22 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's win over Orlando, scoring 13 points on 5-for-10 shooting and grabbing six rebounds. He was 3-for-6 from deep and registered three assists and one steal as well. Johnson has been a huge letdown for the Pistons this season, which […]
Glenn Robinson III Disappoints In Second Start
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Glenn Robinson III failed to build on his impressive first start of the year on Wednesday, following up a 16-point performance with a nine-point dud. He shot 2-for-7 from the field in 27 minutes with no peripheral stats. Robinson III earned Dwane Casey's trust with his play on Monday against Miami, but […]
Andrew Wiggins Goes Easy On The Lakers This Time
Minnesota Timberwolves small forward Andrew Wiggins scored 19 points on 8-for-14 shooting against the Lakers in Wednesday's 114-110 loss. He put together a decent fantasy line with five assists, four rebounds, three steals, and one block, but his usual scoring efforts against the Lakers weren't there this time. Wiggins has averaged 22.7 points per game […]
Jimmy Butler Plays Huge Minutes Versus Lakers
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler played a team-high 43 minutes on Wednesday against the Lakers, scoring 24 points on 9-for-18 shooting with five rebounds, five assists, and three steals. He filled it up from deep as well, finishing 5-for-8 from downtown. Butler is putting up great numbers, but his fantasy value has taken a hit […]
OG Anunoby Shifts Back To The Bench
Toronto Raptors small forward OG Anunoby moved back to the bench for Wednesday's 114-105 road win against the Sacramento Kings with Kawhi Leonard (ankle) back from a two-game absence. He hit 5-for-9 from the field while finishing with 11 points, seven rebounds, a steal and a three-pointer over 24 minutes. While he is averaging 14.0 […]
Kawhi Leonard Drops 25 Points In Return
Toronto Raptors small forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) ended up with 25 points, 11 rebounds and two assists over 31 minutes in Wednesday's 114-105 victory against the Sacramento Kings. He hit 7-for-17 from the field, including 2-for-5 from behind the three-point line, and he was a perfect 9-for-9 from the charity stripe. Leonard was back in […]
Two Dozen Points For Rookie Luka Doncic In Loss
Dallas Mavericks small forward Luka Doncic finished Wednesday's 117-102 road loss against the Utah Jazz with a game-high 24 points. He hit 7-for-14 from the field, including 3-for-4 behind the three-point line, while connecting on 7-for-7 from the free-throw stripe. He also grabbed six rebounds with two assists over his 35 minutes and the only […]
Jerami Grant Sharp In Wednesday's Road Win
Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Jerami Grant ended up with 12 points on 4-for-9 shooting, including 2-for-3 from behind the three-point line, in Wednesday's 95-86 road victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He added eight rebounds with a steal and a blocked shot while finishing with a plus-14 rating, third-best in the game. Grant has recorded […]
Cedi Osman Checks Out Early Due To Back Pain
Cleveland Cavaliers small forward Cedi Osman (back) checked out of Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a sore back. He finished scoreless with one rebound in his six minutes before departing. Head coach Larry Drew said Osman has been dealing with a sore back and the forward was seeing walking slowly and […]
Torrey Craig's Starting Job Doesn't Equal Fantasy Production
Denver Nuggets forward Torrey Craig scored five points on Wednesday in 20 minutes of action against the Memphis Grizzlies. Craig got the start on the night, but his role hasn't translated into fantasy value. There is no need to get cute here. The 27-year-old should be left on the waiver wire in all leagues.
Kyle Anderson Scores Season-High 14 Points
Memphis Grizzlies forward Kyle Anderson scored a season-high 14 points during Wednesday's home victory over the Denver Nuggets. The 25-year-old added five rebounds, one assist, one steal and one three-pointer on 5-for-9 shooting from the field. While he only scored four points against the Golden State Warriors on Monday, he was able to add four […]
Kawhi Leonard Will Play Wednesday
Toronto Raptors small forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is good to go Wednesday against the Sacramento Kings. This will push OG Anunoby back to the bench, eliminating much of his DFS value for the night. We would also expect Norman Powell’s minutes to decrease, making him a non-factor tonight. Fantasy owners should always fire Leonard up […]
Bogdan Bogdanovic Will Play Limited Minutes Wednesday
Sacramento Kings guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) will make his season debut Wednesday against the Raptors but will be on limited minutes, according to head coach Dave Joerger. This shouldn’t stop him from being added to most fantasy rosters, but does hurt any DFS appeal that he has tonight. We would expect the Kings to work […]
Eric Gordon is Listed as Questionable for Thursday
Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon (groin) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Gordon was able to practice on Wednesday which is a good sign. There should be more information after shootaround on Thursday. Carmelo Anthony could lose some shots and Gerald Green would lose some minutes if Gordon […]
Luc Mbah a Moute Ruled Out for Thursday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Luc Mbah a Moute (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Head coach Doc Rivers gave encouraging words saying he expected Mbah a Moute back soon. However, it appears that he won't be back on Thursday, so maybe he can play Saturday against the Bucks. […]
