Kevin Knox Could Return Soon
New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox (ankle) is expected to return between Nov. 2 and 10, according to Marc Berman. The timetable is now two-to-three weeks, which is good because at first he was expected to miss over a month. Knox was able to get some shots up during Friday's practice. Mario Hezonja, Noah Vonleh, […]
OG Anunoby Expected to Return on Monday
Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (personal) did not play on Friday and missed practice on Sunday. However, Anunoby is expected to be ready for Monday's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks. Anunoby is a solid defensive player, but can be left on the waiver wire in most leagues.
Jaylen Brown Finally Breaks Out Of Slump
Boston Celtics shooting guard Jaylen Brown finally broke out of his horrid shooting slump against the Detroit Pistons on Saturday. He scored a game-high 19 points, on 6-for-13 shooting, and hit on 3-of-7 shots from downtown. Brown added two rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block, in his 24 minutes of work. It's been […]
Marcus Morris Continues To Lead Celtics Bench Unit
Boston Celtics power forward Marcus Morris has had no problems finding his offense the last two games. On Saturday, he scored 18 points, on an efficient 7-for-12 shooting and hit his only free-throw. Morris also added eight rebounds and three three-pointers to his totals. While the rest of the Celtics try and find their groove, […]
Jayson Tatum Struggles From The Field On Saturday
Boston Celtics small forward Jayson Tatum had an awful shooting display on Saturday night, even though his team picked up a win against the Detroit Pistons. He scored just six points, on 2-for-9 shooting, and 1-of-2 from the free-throw line. After a strong start to the year, the Celtics leading scorer has struggled to find […]
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (10/27/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! Four games are on the docket tonight, and some of those games are a little...mismatched. The Warriors play Brooklyn.

In this article, I will be providing you […]

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay recorded his second consecutive double-double on Saturday, finishing with 16 points and 10 rebounds off the bench.

Evan Turner Does A Little Of Everything
Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard/small forward Evan Turner struggled a bit with his shot but managed to fill up the stat sheet in his club's loss on Saturday. Turner provided eight points on 3-for-10 shooting from the floor while adding four rebounds, three assists with two steals and two blocks in 25 minutes of action. […]
Al-Farouq Aminu Non-Existent In The Loss
Portland Trail Blazers forward Al-Farouq Aminu did pretty much nothing in 21 minutes of action on Saturday as his club picked up the loss.

Rodney McGruder Gets A Double-Double In The Win
Miami Heat forward Rodney McGruder was not at all affected by the return of Justise Winslow as he registered his second double-double of this young season in the win on Saturday. McGruder scored 14 points on 5-for-10 shooting and added 10 rebounds with a make from three in 33 minutes. McGruder has been a welcomed […]

E'Twaun Moore Struggles From The Floor In Loss
New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard/small forward E'Twaun Moore could not get his shot to drop as he connected on just 1-for-6 shooting to score just five points in his club's loss to the Utah Jazz on Saturday.

Dillon Brooks is Available Off The Bench
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Dillon Brooks (foot) will be available off the bench for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Kyle Anderson is in the starting lineup, but his early struggles could mean more minutes for Brooks. However, it's unlikely that Brooks gets enough minutes to be valuable in fantasy leagues.
Wayne Ellington, Derrick Jones Will Play Saturday
Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (ankle) and forward Derrick Jones (foot) are both available for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Ellington will make his season debut, but Rodney McGruder has been playing well, so it'll be interesting to see how the minutes are distributed. Jones has been playing power forward this season, so […]
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (10/27/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
After a seven game Friday night slate, we have a solid nine game for Saturday night. All games will tip between 7:00 ET and 8:30 ET which is always nice as east-coasters don't have to wait all night to see the final results of the late-night games. In this article, I will be providing you […]
Dillon Brooks Listed as Probable on Saturday
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Dillon Brooks (foot) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was called doubtful for Wednesday's game and still played 14 minutes. Brooks will likely be limited again as he continues to deal with right foot soreness. Kyle Anderson should see more minutes, but he's been struggling this […]
Markieff Morris Misses Practice on Saturday
Washington Wizards forward Markieff Morris (illness) did not practice on Saturday. He looked fine against the Kings on Friday, but hopefully this is nothing serious. The Wizards play the Clippers on Sunday, so Morris is going to need to get over this illness quickly. Jeff Green and Kelly Oubre would see increased roles if Morris […]
Rodions Kurucs Sitting Out on Sunday
Brooklyn Nets forward Rodions Kurucs (ankle) is sitting out of Sunday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Kurucs will sit out about a week after tweaking his ankle last weekend. He had a great preseason, so hopefully he's able to get healthy and contribute in the Nets rotation. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is going to take a […]
Darius Miller Won't Play on Saturday
New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Darius Miller (quad) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. Miller suffered a right quad contusion during Friday's contest. This isn't a huge blow to the Pelicans because Miller has not done much of anything all season. Wesley Johnson and Solomon Hill should see increased playing time […]
Josh Jackson Likely To Start In Place Of Devin Booker
With Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hamstring) ruled out of Saturday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies, head coach Igor Kokoskov said Josh Jackson would most likely start in Booker's place on Saturday night. Jackson has struggled to begin the season, averaging 8.3 points, 1.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists on 39.4 percent shooting from the floor. […]
Wesley Matthews Scores 21 Points In Loss
Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Wesley Matthews scored the ball well but was noticeably quiet on the rest of the stat sheet in a loss to the Toronto Raptors on Friday night.

E'Twaun Moore Effective Against Nets
New Orleans Pelicans forward E'Twaun Moore scored 15 points on 5-for-10 shooting in Friday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. He made a pair of shots from deep and added in four rebounds, an assist, and a steal. Moore faces a difficult matchup Saturday, though, against a Jazz team that's allowing the 11th-lowest three-point field goal […]
