Kawhi Leonard Has A Full Stat Line Against The Mavs
Toronto Raptors small forward Kawhi Leonard did a little bit of everything for his team in a win over the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night. Leonard scored a team-high 21 points, on 7-for-16 shooting and shot a perfect 6-for-6 from the line. He also stuffed the stat sheet with nine rebounds, five assists, three steals, […]
Miles Bridges' Roller-Coaster Season Continues
Charlotte Hornets small forward Miles Bridges had a solid performance Friday night against the Chicago Bulls. Bridges scored 15 points shooting 7-for-10 from the floor with five rebounds and two steals. This was the second game that Bridges scored 15 points on the season but has scored just 12 points total in the other three […]
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Makes The Most Of His Playing Time
Charlotte Hornets small forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist played well in the outing Friday night against the Chicago Bulls. Kidd-Gilchrist scored 15 points on six of nine shooting with eight rebounds. This was only the third contest this season where Kidd-Gilchrist had double figures in scoring so this definitely wasn't a normal game for him. The Hornets […]
Luka Doncic Provides An Excellent Stat Line
Dallas Mavericks forward Luka Doncic managed to score 22 points, but it was not enough as his club lost to the Toronto Raptors 116-107 on Friday. Doncic’s excellent performance included five rebounds while dishing out four assists while connecting on four makes from three, but he committed three turnovers in the process in 35 minutes. […]
Wesley Matthews Efficient From The Floor
Dallas Mavericks shooting guard/small forward Wesley Matthews was super-efficient from the floor as he connected on 9-for-15 shooting but was not able to add much else to his line in the loss. Matthews only was able to add one assist but was 3-for-8 for three on Friday in 32 minutes of action. This is the […]
Harrison Barnes Returns To The Lineup
Dallas Mavericks forward Harrison Barnes made his season debut and scored 14 points in 28 minutes as his club lost to the Toronto Raptors on Friday night. Barnes was a bit rusty as he connected on just five of his 17 shots while grabbing six rebounds, dishing out three assists and added a block on […]
Kevin Durant Erupts For 25 Points In The Fourth Quarter
Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant was just ridiculous on Friday as he scored 25 of his 41 total points in the fourth quarter as his club got the win. Durant shot an incredible 17-for-24 from the field and added nine rebounds with five assists while knocking down five triples in 36 minutes of action. […]
Andre Iguodala Is Quiet Again
Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala did not provide much to his line in his 24 minutes of action, but his squad still managed the win over the New York Knicks on Friday. Iggy took just two shots and scored only two points while adding three rebounds with two assists and two steals off the […]
Klay Thompson Continues To Struggle
Golden State Warriors shooting guard/small forward Klay Thompson continued to struggle as he went just 6-for-18 en route to 12 points in the win. Thompson managed to add four rebounds with three assists and a single steal in 34 minutes on Friday. Thompson has connected on just four of his 31 attempts from three to […]
Mario Hezonja Plays Just 18 Minutes Off The Bench
New York Knicks forward Mario Hezonja managed just six points in his 18 minutes off the bench as the Knicks lost on Friday night. Hezonja added three rebounds with two assists and a single turnover on the night. Owners will not be pleased with his performance, especially as they would have hoped for an uptick […]
Tim Hardaway Jr. Continues Great Start
New York Knicks shooting guard/small forward Tim Hardaway Jr. put up another solid line as he scored 24 points on 9-for-21 shooting, but it was not enough as his young squad fell apart in the fourth quarter to eventually lose to the Golden State Warriors. Hardaway added four makes from three with four assists and […]
Damyean Dotson Plays Well In The Start
New York Knicks shooting guard Damyean Dotson continued his excellent play, but it was not enough as the Knicks lost to the Golden State Warriors on Friday. Dotson shot 5-for-12 from the floor to score 12 points and hauled in seven rebounds while chipping in a steal with a couple makes from three in 30 […]
Tyreke Evans Out On Saturday
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Tyreke Evans (suspension) will not play on Saturday against the Cavs. Evans, who arrived late to practice on Friday, will likely only serve a one-game sentence with his anticipated return coming on Monday against the Trail Blazers. In his stead, expect an uptick in minutes for guards Cory Joseph and Darren Collison.
Jeff Green Flirts With Double-Double In Loss
Washington Wizards small forward Jeff Green finished with 13 points and nine rebounds across 27 minutes off the bench in Friday's 116-112 loss against the Sacramento Kings. He also chipped in with three assists, a three-pointers and a blocked shot while hitting 5-for-8 from the field and 2-for-2 from the free-throw line. He was seeing […]
Otto Porter Struggles With Shot In Loss
Washington Wizards small forward Otto Porter was limited to just five points over 22 minutes in Friday's 116-112 loss against the Sacramento Kings. He hit just 2-for-6 from the field while chipping in with three rebounds, two assists and two turnovers. With OPJ struggling with his shot, Kelly Oubre Jr. came off the bench and picked […]
Kelly Oubre Jr. Gets Extended Playing Time In Loss
Washington Wizards small forward Kelly Oubre Jr. finished with 22 points across 29 minutes off the bench in Friday's 116-112 loss against the Sacramento Kings. He added nine rebounds, two assists, a steal and a blocked shot with just one turnover while going 8-for-13 from the field, including an impressive 5-for-8 from the perimeter. Oubre […]
Carmelo Anthony Makes First Start With Rockets
Houston Rockets small forward Carmelo Anthony made his first start of the season in Friday's 133-113 loss against the Los Angeles Clippers. He stepped up his game with a season-high 24 points, hitting 8-for-18 from the field, including 6-for-10 from behind the 3-point line. He added two rebounds, two blocked shots and a steal while […]
Danilo Gallinari Has Another Solid Shooting Night
Los Angeles Clippers small forward Danilo Gallinari finished Friday's 133-113 win against the Houston Rockets with 16 points across 21 minutes. He was a very effective 4-for-5 from the field, including 1-for-2 from behind the three-point line, while going a perfect 7-for-7 from the free-throw line. He also chipped in with five rebounds, an assist […]
James Ennis Nursing Hamstring Strain
Houston Rockets swingman James Ennis (hamstring) will miss at least one more game after being diagnosed with a Grade 2 hamstring strain. He missed Friday's game with the Los Angeles Clippers, and he will be sidelined at least through the weekend before he is re-evaluated. For those in deeper weekly fantasy leagues, you'll probably want […]
Iman Shumpert Remains Questionable on Friday
Sacramento Kings guard/forward Iman Shumpert (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. He sat out on Wednesday after being listed as questionable for that contest as well. Justin Jackson could be looking at a bigger role in the rotation without Shumpert around. However, owners will likely have to wait until closer to […]
Andrew Wiggins Sitting Out on Friday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Andrew Wiggins (thigh) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Both Wiggins and Jimmy Butler (illness) were listed as questionable heading into this one. Butler is starting, but Wiggins is not able to play just yet. Josh Okogie will draw the start for Wiggins on Friday.
Jimmy Butler Remains Questionable on Friday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (illness) remains questionable for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It's unclear whether Butler is actually sick or if the Wolves are just holding him out for trade reasons. Andrew Wiggins (thigh) has been ruled out for this one. Josh Okogie and Derrick Rose should see extended playing time on Friday.
OG Anunoby Out On Friday Against The Dallas Mavericks
Toronto Raptors small forward OG Anunoby (personal) is out for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Anunoby was averaging 7.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 0.6 steals and 1.2 triples. His absence will open up a few extra minutes for red-hot Danny Green, and we will potentially see more of C.J. Miles tonight.
Harrison Barnes Will Play on Friday
Dallas Mavericks forward Harrison Barnes (hamstring) will play against the Toronto Raptors on Friday. It sounds like he's going to see less minutes than usual as the Mavs ease him back into action. He's too risky to use in DFS contests on Friday. Dorian Finney-Smith and Maxi Kleber should lose value and playing time with […]
Carmelo Anthony Will Start on Friday
Houston Rockets forward Carmelo Anthony will draw the start against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday. James Harden (hamstring) is sidelined, so Anthony will jump into the starting five. Melo will see his usage rate skyrocket without Harden on the floor. His long-term outlook isn't pretty, but Melo could have some upside against the Clippers.
Luc Mbah a Moute Ruled Out on Friday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Luc Mbah a Moute (knee) will not play against the Houston Rockets on Friday. It sounds like he is getting closer to returning though. Montrezl Harrell played fantastic against the Rockets on Sunday. Harrell and Danilo Gallinari should benefit the most on Friday.
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (10/26/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
We have somewhat of a smaller slate for a Friday night. There are only seven games tonight after a four game Thursday slate. This must be the new NBA schedule, as they attempt to limit back-to-back sets. Still, there are plenty of options to be considered tonight. In this article, I will be providing you […]
Cedi Osman Scores Just Three Points In Loss
Cleveland Cavaliers small forward Cedi Osman had an extremely rough night in a loss to the Detroit Pistons on Thursday. He scored just three points on a terrible 1-for-8 shooting and added just six rebounds, three assists, and one steal. After an extremely strong start to the season, Osman has been struggling a lot recently. […]
Kyle Korver Catches Fire In Detroit
Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Kyle Korver was on fire against the Detroit Pistons on Thursday night. He scored a team-high 21 points on 7-for-10 shooting and hit 4-of-7 shots from three-point range. Korver caught fire in the 4th quarter, scoring 16 of 21 points in the final frame. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Korver will […]
Reggie Bullock Can't Find His Shot Against Cavaliers
Detroit Pistons small forward Reggie Bullock's rough shooting start continued against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday. He scored just 5 points on 2-for-10 shooting and 1-for-2 from the charity stripe. Although, Bullock did add six assists, three rebounds, and a block. Even though Bullock has not found his stroke this year, his shooting will be […]
