Pascal Siakam Flirts With a Double-Double on Thursday
Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam was the bench mob's most effective player on Thursday, scoring 12 points against the Pacers, shooting a clean 5-for-7 in the contest. Siakam showed some grit in the paint in this one, coming down with eight rebounds in his 20 minutes, while pitching in two assists as well. Siakam's ability […]
C.J. Miles Drains A Few Triples in Revenge Game
Toronto Raptors guard/forward C.J. Miles got some revenge against his former team on Thursday, scoring a cool 10 points on the Pacers while shooting 3-for-9 in this one, with all three makes coming from downtown. Miles chipped in one board, one assist and a steal in his 21 minutes, but did most of his damage […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/16/18): NBA DFS Lineups
There was a sizable slate last night, which leaves only a six game slate for tonight. That's kind of odd, as Friday is generally the "big day" for the NBA. March Madness is going on right now, though, so maybe the NBA does not want to compete for ratings. Regardless, we still have plenty of […]
Taurean Prince Stays Hot
Atlanta Hawks small forward Taurean Prince led his team with 22 points in the Hawks fifth straight loss. Against the Hornets, Prince stuffed the stat sheet, totaling 22 points, 10 rebounds and six assists. Prince shot a mediocre 8-for-18 but an outstanding 6-for-12 from deep. Next up, the Hawks face the Bucks, who have given […]
Otto Porter Continues Success Against Boston
Washington Wizards forward Otto Porter posted another solid stat line against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday. Porter posted a double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds, while contributing three three-pointers and three steals. In the three games against Boston this season, Porter dominated his season averages with 21.7 points on 52.5 percent shooting, 9.3 rebounds […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/15/18): NBA DFS Lineups
We have a nice slate of games for a Thursday, with many of them projected to run close, as well as be high-scoring. Not many significant injuries to work with, so your best bet will be to work on matchups, game pace and the over/under. In this article, I will be providing you with my […]
Jeremy Lamb is Questionable on Thursday
Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (back) is questionable to play against the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday. It's a new injury for Lamb, but hopefully nothing too serious. He's cooled off a bit lately, but is still worth owning in most leagues. The Hornets have been hinting that they could change their rotation. Fantasy owners should […]
Tim Hardaway Jr. Questionable Against 76ers
New York Knicks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He did not practice on Wednesday, but did manage to play 39 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Mavs. The Knicks have no incentive to play Hardaway unless he's at 100 percent. It would not be […]
Reggie Bullock Will Start Against Nuggets
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Reggie Bullock (back) will draw the start against the Denver Nuggets on Thursday. He was forced to miss Tuesday's game against the Jazz. Stanley Johnson, James Ennis and Luke Kennard will shift back to their normal roles with Bullock back in as a starter. However, Bullock is really the only player here that […]
Tyreke Evans is Questionable for Thursday
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (rib) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Evans has missed 10 games in a row and Memphis has been ruling him out in advance. This is good news that he's actually listed as questionable, but fantasy owners should not get too excited. This could just be an […]
Rodney Hood is Probable on Thursday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Rodney Hood (back) is probable for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Head coach Ty Lue said Hood would be dealing with a minutes limit when he returns. Hood has missed two games in a row, but said he'd probably be ready by Thursday. Kyle Korver has been playing fantastic as […]
Norman Powell is Doubtful on Thursday
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Norman Powell (ankle) is listed as doubtful to play against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday. He suffered the injury during a workout on Wednesday, but is now reportedly in a walking boot. OG Anunoby (ankle) is expected to rejoin the starting lineup on Thursday. Malcolm Miller and Delon Wright should see extended […]
Khris Middleton Scores 22 Points In Loss
Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard/small forward Khris Middleton has been Mr. Consistent all season long and Wednesday was no different, as he scored 22 points on 8-for-16 shooting from the field, 4-for-6 from deep and had five assists in their disappointing loss to the Orlando Magic. He is quietly having his most efficient season thus far in […]
Josh Richardson Ruled Out Wednesday
Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson (foot) will sit out Wednesday night against the Sacramento Kings. This comes as no surprise, as Richardson was designated as doubtful coming into the contest. With Dwyane Wade (hamstring) also out, the Heat will likely go with a committee of Rodney McGruder, Wayne Ellington and Justise Winslow to fill in. […]
Kyle Kuzma Out Wednesday Night
Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the Golden State Warriors. Kuzma is battling an injured ankle and won't be able to play through it. In his absence, Isaiah Thomas will move into the starting lineup with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope sliding to small forward. Thomas will likely take over most of […]
Aaron Gordon Will Remain Out Wednesday
Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (concussion) will miss his fourth straight game with a concussion Wednesday night against the Milwaukee Bucks. Gordon remains in the league's concussion protocol after suffering his second concussion of the season. In his absence, Jonathan Isaac and Mario Hezonja have benefited the most with the additional minutes. Isaac has potential for defensive stats, […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/14/18): NBA DFS Lineups
We have a smaller four game NBA slate to get us through this hump day and there are some interesting options across the board. 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 bigger name players into the same […]
Josh Richardson is Doubtful on Wednesday
Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson (ankle) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Dwyane Wade (hamstring) and Hassan Whiteside (hip) have already been ruled out for this contest. The Heat could be short-handed for this contest if Richardson sits as well. He played just 16 minutes in the loss to the Blazers on […]
Klay Thompson Ruled Out Next Four Games
Golden State Warriors guard/forward Klay Thompson (thumb) will miss the next four games. He has been diagnosed with a fractured right thumb and will re-evaluated on March 22. He injured his thumb on Sunday but was able to play through it. The Warriors are in a position where they can afford to be cautious with […]
Tim Hardaway Jr. is Questionable on Thursday
New York Knicks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was unable to practice on Wednesday and has been listed as questionable for Thursday. However, Hardaway did play 39 minutes in the loss to the Mavs on Tuesday. The Knicks are playing for draft positioning and can […]
Jayson Tatum is Probable on Wednesday
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (back) is probable to play against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday. Kyrie Irving (knee), Jaylen Brown (concussion) and Marcus Smart (thumb) have all been ruled out for Wednesday. Al Horford (illness) is questionable, but regardless, the Celtics are going to be short-handed. Terry Rozier is going to be heavily involved […]
Aaron Gordon is Questionable Wednesday
Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (concussion) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Gordon has missed three straight games due to a concussion. He must clear the NBA's concussion protocol before being able to return to game action. Owners will need to check back closer to game time to see if Gordon clears […]
Josh Jackson Scores 19 Points in 35 minutes
Phoneix Suns forward Josh Jackson scored 19 points with three rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals in a loss at home to the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has been inconsistent all season, but this should be a positive for the owners who have him. His value relies on his defensive stats, but he has […]
C.J. Miles Gets Hot From Three-Point Land
Toronto Raptors guard/forward C.J. Miles came through for his team with some big buckets in the second half on Tuesday, knocking down all three of his makes from deep in this one, finishing with 12 points (3-for-7) against the Nets. Miles didn't do much else in the win but did manage to pull down three […]
Taurean Prince Leads Team In Scoring Again
Atlanta Hawks small forward Taurean Prince did his best to keep the Hawks in the game, as they were eventually outlasted by the Thunder, 119-107. Prince scored 25 points on 9-for-20 from the floor with eight rebounds, three assists, a steal and two blocks. Prince scored 38 points last game and followed it up with […]
Stephen Curry Will Miss Next Four Games
Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (ankle) has been ruled out for the next four games. Curry has been battling a tweaked right ankle for the past few days and the Warriors have no incentive to push their star point guard with a playoff berth almost locked up. In Curry's absence, Quinn Cook will […]
Dario Saric Will Play Tuesday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Dario Saric (illness) will give it a go Tuesday night against the Indiana Pacers. Saric was dealing with an illness leading up to Tuesday but feels good enough to play through it. The Sixers will stick with the usual starting lineup with Saric at power forward. Should Saric experience any setbacks during […]
Carmelo Anthony Scores 21 Points In Victory
Oklahoma City power forward Carmelo Anthony bounced back from his awful game last time out in a win over the Sacramento Kings. He scored 21 points on 7-for-14 shooting and had six rebounds, five three-pointers, one steal and one block in 31 minutes of action. This game marked the first time since Jan. 20 that […]
Corey Brewer Scores 16 Points In Start
Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard Corey Brewer got his third straight start on Monday night against the Sacramento Kings and did not disappoint. He scored 16 points on 4-for-8 shooting and hit all seven of his free-throw attempts. Brewer also contributed in other areas with six rebounds, two steals, one three, one assist and one […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/13/18): NBA DFS Lineups
There are plenty of games tonight and the value is there but scarce. With the amount of superstars playing you are going to need to pay up in the right places. The Suns-Cavaliers and Nuggets-Lakers are the games to stack and the points will be flying around in both games. Other than that, look for […]
