DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/31/18): NBA DFS Lineups
We have a split slate of games with two in the early window, and three in the late slate, so just take note of the different start times. Not a ton of injuries as of right now, so lineup construction should be pretty straight forward, which could make it difficult to get some of the […]
Trevor Ariza is Questionable on Friday
Houston Rockets guard/forward Trevor Ariza (elbow) is questionable for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It sounds like he suffered this injury on Tuesday, but luckily it is considered a minor issue. Ariza has not been given a "rest" day since he was nursing his hamstring issue over the All-Star break. The Rockets aren't playing […]
Brandon Ingram Expected to Play Friday
Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Brandon Ingram (hip) is probable for Friday's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks. Ingram returned on Wednesday and dropped 13 points, six rebounds and four assists in the victory over the Dallas Mavericks. The Lakers had Ingram on a minutes limit and it's safe to assume they will continue to ease him […]
Kevin Durant Ejected In First Half
Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant (ribs) returned to the lineup on Thursday, but it didn't last long as he was ejected near the end of the first half. Durant scored 10 points on 4-for-10 shooting in that half and added six assists and three rebounds. Durant will look to play both halves on Saturday […]
Denzel Valentine Struggles Shooting On Thursday
Chicago Bulls forward Denzel Valentine struggled during Thursday night’s matchup with the Miami Heat. Valentine scored only four points on a miserable 2-for-10 shooting from the floor and an equally unimpressive 0-for-3 from behind the arc. He did manage to accumulate four assists and two steals in a weak attempt to make amends for his […]
Khris Middleton Has Productive Night Against Warriors
Milwaukee Bucks small forward Khris Middleton scored 23 points on 9-for-17 shooting in Thursday's win over the Warriors.

Over his past 11 games, Middleton is shooting 51.7 percent from three and averaging 22.7 points per game, as well as 5.5 rebounds […]
Carmelo Anthony Stays Passive In Thursday's Loss
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Carmelo Anthony finished with fewer than 10 points for the third straight time on Thursday, as he had nine against San Antonio on 3-for-6 shooting. He ended up getting his points exclusively from behind the arc, going a perfect 3-for-3 with his triples. After averaging at least 14 shots per game […]
Paul George Paces Thunder On Thursday With 26 Points
Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Paul George scored a game-high 26 points on Thursday in a losing effort against San Antonio, shooting 9-for-20 from the floor and 3-for-6 from outside. He was perfect from the line with five attempts and added seven rebounds, six assists, and four steals to his tally in 39 minutes. George […]
Bojan Bogdanovic Scores a Game-High 25 Points on Thursday
Indiana Pacers forward Bojan Bogdanovic did nothing but score in the Pacers win on Thursday. The 28-year-old led the game with 25 points on 7-for-13 shooting from the field, including making all nine of his free-throw attempts. The Croatian failed to contribute in any other facet of the game, however, recording a goose egg in […]
Stanley Johnson Plays Inefficiently Thursday
Detroit Pistons small forward Stanley Johnson had a very rough game Thursday night going up against the Washington Wizards. Johnson scored nine points while going 4-for-11 from the floor. Johnson also had five rebounds, four steals and two assists. In the month of March, Johnson has been struggling, shooting 31.3 percent from the field. Next […]

Draymond Green is Probable Thursday
Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (illness) is probable for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He's missed three straight contest, but the Warriors basically rested Green on Tuesday. The Warriors are not playing for anything, so they can afford to be cautious with Green. Jordan Bell and Kevon Looney will lose value and playing […]
Kevin Durant is Available on Thursday
Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant (ribs) will be available for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He missed six games with a rib issue, but the Warriors were being extremely cautious with him. It sounds like KD would've playing if those games were playoff games. It's unclear whether or not Durant will have a […]
Kyle Kuzma Has Strong Night Off The Bench Against Dallas
Los Angeles Lakers small forward Kyle Kuzma continues to look like one of the NBA's top rookies. On Wednesday, he scored 18 points on 7-for-14 shooting. He was 3-for-10 from three. Kuzma also had four rebounds and three assists. The Lakers play the Bucks on Friday, a team that allows their opponents to shoot the […]

Joe Ingles Has Good All-Around Performance Versus Celtics
Utah Jazz small forward Joe Ingles had a good all-around outing on Wednesday against the Celtics, scoring 11 points on 4-for-12 shooting with six rebounds and five assists. He could've been the hero of the night, but he missed a go-ahead shot with less than 20 seconds remaining. Ingles had a rare poor shooting night […]
Harrison Barnes Leads Dallas In Scoring Against Lakers
Dallas Mavericks small forward Harrison Barnes scored a team-high 17 points in Wednesday's loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. Barnes, who went 7-for-15 from the field, grabbed four rebounds and had a pair of steals. Dallas plays Minnesota on Friday, a team that allows 107.7 points per game to opponents. Barnes will look to continue […]
Jayson Tatum Does It All For Celtics In Narrow Win
Boston Celtics small forward Jayson Tatum was everywhere in Wednesday's 97-94 win over Utah, posting 16 points, three assists, two steals and two blocks in 32 minutes. He disappointed with his shooting, finishing the night at 6-for-15, but the peripheral stats saved his fantasy line. The rough shooting night can be seen only as a […]
Jaylen Brown Pulls Celtics Past Utah
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown led the team in scoring on Wednesday with 21 points, finishing off the scoring with a game-winning triple in a 97-94 win.

Andrew Wiggins Shoots Well Versus Atlanta
Minnesota Timberwolves small forward Andrew Wiggins picked up 17 points on some very good shooting in Wednesday's tilt against Atlanta, shooting 7-for-13 from the field and nailing two of five attempts from downtown. He also had three rebounds and a couple of steals, while watching Karl-Anthony Towns score 56 points for a new franchise record. […]
Josh Jackson With A Full Line
Phoenix Suns small forward Josh Jackson filled up the stat sheet in a 111-99 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Jackson did a little of everything, finishing with 18 points, five boards and three dimes to go along with two steals and two blocks. With a depleted Suns lineup as of late, JJ has stepped […]
Tobias Harris Connects With 27 Points
Los Angeles Clippers small forward/power forward Tobias Harris finished the night with 27 points in a victory over the Phoenix Suns. Harris was efficient on the night while making 10 of 16 shots from the floor to go along with an impressive five of six from behind the arc. He threw in three rebounds, a […]

Hollis-Jefferson besides this game has been […]
