Tim Hardaway Jr. Suffers a Left Ankle Sprain

New York Knicks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. left Friday's matchup against the Heat with a sprained left ankle after an awkward landing towards the end of the third quarter.

James Johnson Scores 12 Points With Two Blocks

Miami Heat forward James Johnson did his best to help his team get the W in New York on Friday, but his 12 points were not even close to being enough to get the Heat over the hump in this one. Johnson shot 4-for-8 on the night, knocking down one triple in the loss. Apart […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/7/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a smallish Saturday slate, which is one of the last days of the regular season, so it might be time to focus on players from teams who need to win. As of right now, there are only three teams clinched in the Western Conference, so we are in for a wild few days […]

Khris Middleton Turns in Efficient Stats in Loss to Nets

On a night when his other teammates couldn't seem to find their shot, Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton couldn't miss. If going 9-for-14 from the floor and two of three from behind the arc wasn't enough, Middleton was a perfect 11-for-11 at the free throw line. Add in four rebounds, three assists and two steals, […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Notches Poor Shooting Night

Despite playing 36 minutes, Milwaukee Bucks All-Star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo couldn't find his shot from the floor, going 7-for-21 from the field. The less-than-stellar shooting efficiency was mitigated by a perfect night at the charity stripe, where he went five of five. He also had 10 rebounds and seven assists in what has become a […]

Michael Beasley is Questionable Against Miami

New York Knicks forward Michael Beasley (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Beasley has been sick since Monday and sat out of Tuesday's contest with the Orlando Magic. Beasley was not able to practice on Thursday, so his chances of playing aren't looking good. When Beasley plays he's a must-own fantasy […]

Taurean Prince is Questionable on Friday

Atlanta Hawks small forward Taurean Prince (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. The Hawks are in tank mode but finish out the regular season against Washington, Boston and Philly. Even at full strength the Hawks are not likely going to beat any of those teams, so it's safe for them to […]

Jimmy Butler Expected to Return on Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is expected to return to the rotation on Friday versus the Los Angeles Lakers. Butler was active for Thursday's contest against the Denver Nuggets, but head coach Tom Thibodeau said he thought it was "best to wait another day." The Wolves desperately need to win, so they don't find […]

Andrew Wiggins Has Bad Night Against Nuggets

Minnesota Timberwolves small forward Andrew Wiggins had an awful night against Denver on Thursday, managing to score just nine points in 33 minutes. He ended up finishing 4-for-12 from the field and even missed his only free throw attempt. Wiggins now has two games without double-digit points in the last three outings, which is a […]

Tobias Harris Quiet On The Offensive End

Los Angeles Clippers forward Tobias Harris was quiet on the offense end but managed to do a bit of everything else in a 117-95 blowout loss to the Utah Jazz. Harris was fresh off a 31-point performance and only managed 11 points in this one, but he was able to salvage his night by adding […]

Jeff Green Has Hot Shooting Night Against Washington

Cleveland Cavaliers small forward Jeff Green was 8-for-10 from the field on Thursday as the Cavaliers came back from a 17-point deficit to beat the Washington Wizards. Green finished with 21 points, one assist, one rebound and one steal. Cleveland plays Friday against the 76ers, who have been playing strong basketball lately and have held […]

LeBron James Records Double-Double Against Wizards

Cleveland Cavaliers small forward LeBron James scored a team-high 33 points in Thursday's comeback win over the Washington Wizards. James was 12-for-20 from the field and had 14 assists. He came up just one rebound shy of recording his second triple-double of the month. The Cavaliers play the 76ers on Friday. Philadelphia is one of […]

Otto Porter Plays Well In Loss To Cleveland

Washington Wizards small forward Otto Porter scored 18 points on 8-for-13 shooting in Thursday's loss to Cleveland. He grabbed eight rebounds and dished out a pair of assists. In addition, Porter had a steal and two blocks. He should be in line for another strong outing against the Hawks on Friday, as they've allowed the fifth […]

Bojan Bogdanovic Shines Against The Warriors

Indiana Pacers small forward Bojan Bogdanovic was on fire versus the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night. Bogdanovic scored 28 points, going 11-for-13 from the field, with six of those made buckets coming from beyond the arc. In the last seven games, Bogdanovic has played well, averaging 20.2 points and shooting 51.2 percent from three-point […]

Kevin Durant Fills Stat Sheet Inefficiently

Golden State Warriors small forward Kevin Durant put up good counting stats but didn't have the best performance Thursday versus the Indiana Pacers. Durant scored 27 points, going 8-for-23 from the floor and 9-for-9 from the charity stripe. Additionally, Durant had seven assists, five boards and three steals. Since coming back from injury, Durant is […]

Allen Crabbe Expected to Return Thursday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Allen Crabbe (illness) is expected to play against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. He missed Tuesday's game versus the Philadelphia 76ers due to illness. The Nets are one of the most cautious teams in the league when it comes to injuries. Brooklyn is not playing for anything, so Crabbe could very well […]

Jimmy Butler Could Return on Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Head coach Tom Thibodeau said there's a "chance" that Butler plays on Thursday, but it depends on how he feels in warmups. He was listed as doubtful on Wednesday, so it seems like he's been upgraded, which […]

DeMarre Carroll Ruled Out on Thursday

Brooklyn Nets forward DeMarre Carroll (hip) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Nets are listing Carroll as day-to-day for the rest of the season. It would not be surprising if Carroll sat out the rest of the season since the Nets are not playing for anything. Carroll is a […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/5/18): NBA DFS Lineups

With only a few games left until the playoffs, there isn’t a lot of time left to play regular season DraftKings, so get a win while you can. Golden State/Indiana has been omitted from Thursday’s contest, which eliminates some of the more efficient value-plays. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily […]

Nikola Mirotic Shoots Lights Out Versus Memphis

New Orleans Pelicans forward Nikola Mirotic had one of those nights when you feel like you can't miss on Wednesday, as he shot 10-for-12 from the floor against Memphis, missing only from the three-point line. He ended up with 25 points, playing 27 minutes as a starter. Mirotic also posted a second consecutive game with […]

E'Twaun Moore Leads Pelicans In Scoring Versus Grizzlies

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward E'Twaun Moore had a very enjoyable night on Wednesday against the Grizzlies, as he made a career-high seven treys on his way to 30 points in 29 minutes.

Taurean Prince Finishes With 20 Points In 24 Minutes

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard/small forward Taurean Prince bounced back with 20 points in a blowout loss to the Miami Heat. Prince returned to form by making eight of 14 shots from the floor and three of six from downtown to go along with four assists and a steal. Prince has shown glimpses of star power […]

Josh Richardson Fills The Stat Sheet

Miami Heat shooting guard/small forward Josh Richardson did a little bit of everything in a 29-point blowout over the Atlanta Hawks. Richardson filled it up, going for 19 points on 7-for-12 from the floor to go along with 2-for-2 from deep with four rebounds and two assists, but was most impressive at the defensive end […]

Jalen Jones Leads Mavericks In Scoring

Dallas Mavericks small forward Jalen Jones led the Mavericks with 16 points in Wednesday's loss to the Orlando Magic. Jones was 6-for-15 from the field and 2-for-7 from three. He also grabbed seven rebounds. With Dallas dealing with injuries to all their key players, Jones played 27 minutes in his first game action since he […]

Lonzo Ball And Brandon Ingram Remain Out Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball (knee) and forward Brandon Ingram (concussion) will miss another game Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. This comes as no surprise with Ball being ruled doubtful for Wednesday and Ingram still in the concussion protocol. Both players are hard to own right now for anyone still playing for […]

Brandon Ingram Unlikely to Play Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Brandon Ingram (concussion) is considered unlikely to play against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. He did not travel with the team for Tuesday's game against Utah and has missed two straight contests due to a concussion. Ingram will not be allowed to play until he clears the NBA's concussion protocol. […]

Harrison Barnes Will Rest on Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks forward Harrison Barnes (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. This is the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Mavs will rest their veterans. Dirk Nowitzki (ankle), Dwight Powell (knee) and Dennis Smith Jr. (knee) will join Barnes on the sidelines for this contest. Maximilian Kleber […]
