DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/2/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We're back to a larger Friday slate, as the NBA features double digit games tonight. After a smaller slate last night, we can expect some big DraftKings contests. There are a few players that are still a bit mispriced tonight, and those are the players we're going to attack. In this article, I will be […]

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is Questionable for Friday

Charlotte Hornets small forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Treveon Graham drew the start […]

Danilo Gallinari Won't Play Against Knicks

Los Angeles Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari (hand) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the New York Knicks. Gallo had an MRI on Wednesday, but the results have not been announced yet.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable on Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (eye) is probable for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He was poked in the eye during the fourth quarter of Wednesday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. Giannis said he had blurred vision after the game but said he'd be fine. The probable tag means it is nothing serious, and he […]

Chandler Parsons Won't Play Friday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Chandler Parsons (illness) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Parsons has played in one game, logging in 12 minutes since late December. He is expected to return for Saturday's contest versus the Orlando Magic. Parsons can be a solid presence on the court when healthy and given […]

Ben Simmons Almost Notches Another Triple-Double

Robert Covington Bounces Back With a Double-Double

Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington did a little more for owners than they've become used to on Thursday, posting a double-double against the Cavs in a big win.

Jeff Green Good To Go Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Jeff Green (back) will play Thursday night against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Smith (suspension), Green will have an opportunity for more usage […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/1/18): NBA DFS Lineups

It's Thursday and the league will feature a four game slate filled with some decent games.

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

Jeff Green is Questionable on Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Jeff Green (back) is considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He missed Tuesday's game, which marked the first game all season that Green has been sidelined. He played in each of the Cavs first 59 games prior to Tuesday. Cedi Osman should see a few extra minutes if Green […]

Ersan Ilyasova is Available on Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Ersan Ilyasova will be available to play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday. He signed his contract on Wednesday, but is familiar with the team after a stint with Philly last season. It's unclear how head coach Brett Brown plans to use Ilyasova.

Manu Ginobili Rolls Back the Years on Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Manu Ginobili finished February off in style, dropping 17 points on the Pelicans in 20 minutes off the bench.

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay, who recently returned from an injury, had a very good outing Wednesday against New Orleans, scoring a team-high 19 points on 7-for-15 shooting, grabbing five boards, dishing out four assists and recording three blocks with one steal. Gay surpassed the 20-minute mark for the first time since his 23-game […]

Evan Fournier Knocks Down Three Threes In Loss

Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier scored 17 points in a loss to Toronto on Wednesday. Fournier was 6-for-15 from the field and 3-for-8 from beyond the arc. He has made at least two threes in seven of his last eight games. Unfortunately, that's all of Fournier's value lately. He has scored over 20 points just […]

Aaron Gordon Posts Double-Double

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon had 11 points and 10 rebounds on Wednesday in a loss to Toronto. Gordon was listed as questionable before the game, and it showed. He took just nine shots, six of which were three-pointers. He finished 4-for-9 from the field and 1-for-6 from three. It's a far cry from where […]
