Cody Zeller And Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Out Wednesday

The Charlotte Hornets will be without Cody Zeller (knee) and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (hamstring) Wednesday night against the Boston Celtics. Both Zeller and Kidd-Gilchrist got banged up in Tuesday's win over the Chicago Bulls and won't be able to play. Dwight Howard (rib) will have an opportunity to play big minutes in the front court without […]

Danilo Gallinari Won't Play on Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari (hand) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Gallinari does not have a fracture to his hand, but will be sidelined for the third straight contest. The team continues to rule him out early, so it's unknown when Gallinari will return to the court. Tyrone […]

Tony Snell Ruled Out Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Tony Snell (thigh) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Snell has been playing heavy minutes lately, so hopefully this is not a long-term injury. The severity of the injury is not known, so Snell could be out multiple games. Sterling Brown and Jason Terry will see extended […]

T.J. Warren is Questionable on Wednesday

Phoenix Suns small forward T.J. Warren (tailbone) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Warren hurt his tailbone in Monday's loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. He still played 42 minutes in that contest, but the Suns are playing for draft positioning. The team may elect to give Warren some extra rest on […]

Corey Brewer Reaches Buyout with Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers have reportedly reached a buyout agreement with guard/forward Corey Brewer. Assuming he clears waivers, he'll be able to sign with any club of his choosing. It'll likely be a playoff-bound team, but that does not guarantee his value will increase much. According to Adrian Wojnarowski, Brewer is seriously considering reuniting with […]

Aaron Gordon Will Play on Wednesday

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (hip) will play against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. He was listed as questionable heading into this game, but will be available to play. Gordon continues to deal with a nagging hip issue, but will fight through the pain and play Wednesday. Mario Hezonja continues to lose value and minutes […]

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Questionable for Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets small forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (hamstring) is questionable to play against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday. MKG pulled his hamstring in Tuesday's game, so it would not be surprising if he sat out on Wednesday. He played just six minutes on Tuesday before heading to the locker room. He's had little recovery time, but […]

Tyreke Evans Ruled Out Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (ribs) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. This will mark the third straight game on the sidelines for Evans. An MRI revealed slight cartilage damage, but the team is considering Evans day-to-day. Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said he was not expecting it to be a […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/28/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a nine 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 lineup. […]

Nicolas Batum Struggles To Find His Shot

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Nicolas Batum was 3-for-10 for 10 points in a win against Chicago on Tuesday. Luckily for his owners, Batum has really rounded into form and found other ways to fill the stat sheet. Against Chicago, Batum led the team in assists (12) and rebounds (seven). When his shot is on, Batum is […]

Gary Harris Scores 23 Points In Loss

Denver Nuggets shooting guard Gary Harris had a bounce-back game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night. Harris scored 23 points on his usually pristine efficiency, going 7-for-13 from the field and 4-for-4 from the foul line. He rounded out his line with four three-pointers, three steals and two rebounds in 38 minutes. Harris' […]

Ben Simmons Posts Well-Rounded Line in Heartbreaker

Philadelphia 76ers point guard/forward Ben Simmons had a solid game against the Heat on Tuesday, scoring a serviceable 11 points on 4-for-9 shooting in the loss. He was his usual stat-stuffing self in the contest, helping his team out with six assists and six rebounds for his best efforts. He didn't come up with any […]

Robert Covington's Shooting Woes Continue on Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington really hurt owners in the field goal percentage column on Tuesday, shooting an awful 2-for-10 from the floor to finish with just five points, with one three-pointer made against the Heat. Covington did his best to help out in other areas in this one but wasn't all that helpful, adding […]

Paul Millsap Available To Play Tuesday Night

Denver Nuggets forward Paul Millsap (wrist) will make his return to game action Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. Millsap missed the last 44 games with a broken wrist, but has finally made his way back to the court. Expect Millsap to be limited around the 20-minute mark for his first game back, losing […]

Kelly Olynyk And Rodney McGruder Available Tuesday

Miami Heat forward/center Kelly Olynyk (shoulder) and guard Rodney McGruder (leg) are both available for Tuesday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Both are expected to come off the bench, but Olynyk will get limited minutes and it is unclear if McGruder will rejoin the rotation. Olynyk's return will take away minutes from big men […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/27/18): NBA DFS Lineups

Tuesday brings us another decent slate of six games, but be warned that most of the games tonight are in jeopardy of being blowouts. If there was one game to stack it's the Nuggets-Clippers. It's going to be a high-scoring contest and there is decent guard value spread out. Nikola Jokic, LeBron James, Joel Embiid, […]

Andrew Wiggins Scores 22 Points In Win

Minnesota Timberwolves small forward Andrew Wiggins had a solid scoring night in a win over the Sacramento Kings on Monday night. He scored 22 points on 8-for-15 shooting, while also going 5-for-6 from the free-throw line. Although Wiggins didn't contribute too much in other categories, adding just two assists, one steal, one block and one […]

Jae Crowder Struggles To Find The Mark Against Houston

Utah Jazz small forward Jae Crowder struggled to shoot the ball in a loss to the Houston Rockets on Monday night. He scored just 12 points on just 4-for-15 shooting. However, he did fill up the stat sheet in other ways with six rebounds, five assists, two three-pointers and one block. While Crowder has been […]

Carmelo Anthony Scores Just Nine Points

Oklahoma City Thunder power forward Carmelo Anthony struggled from the field against the Orlando Magic Monday night despite the win. He mustered up just nine points on a horrid 4-for-15 shooting and as is usually the case with Anthony this year, if he's not shooting well, he doesn't contribute much, as he added just nine […]

Dillon Brooks Struggles Against Boston

Memphis Grizzlies small forward Dillon Brooks went just 2-for-10 from the field on Monday night, finishing the game with just six points. He added two rebounds, two assists, and two steals. After Brooks looked like one of the biggest steals of the draft for Memphis for a good chunk of the season, he's slowed down […]

Danilo Gallinari Ruled Out Against Denver

Los Angeles Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari (hand) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He suffered the injury during Thursday's loss to the Golden State Warriors. The X-rays came back negative, but Gallinari was unable to play on Friday. He won't suit up for Tuesday's game either, and Tyrone Wallace is […]

Paul Zipser Ruled Out Tuesday

Chicago Bulls forward Paul Zipser (foot) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He's missed the last two games due to a foot injury and played in just seven minutes against Philly last Thursday. Zach LaVine (rest) is expected to return on Tuesday, so Zipser's absence should not change much. David […]

Doug McDermott Keeps Producing Off the Bench

Dallas Mavericks small forward Doug McDermott went a perfect 4-for-4 with his three-ball in Monday's win over Indiana, finishing with 15 points in 16 minutes off the bench. He shot 5-for-8 overall in what was his third consecutive outing with double-digit points. McDermott shared the team lead with Dirk Nowitzki in plus/minus, ending up with […]

Harrison Barnes Scores 21 Points Versus Pacers

Dallas Mavericks small forward Harrison Barnes bounced back well from his nine-point dud on Saturday against Utah, scoring a team-high 21 points against Indiana on Monday. He actually still struggled with his shot, going 7-for-17 from the floor and 1-for-6 from deep, but he got to the free-throw line well, which helped him record just […]

Evan Fournier Drills Five Threes In Loss

Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier tied a team high, scoring 19 points in a loss to Oklahoma City on Monday. Fournier went 5-for-9 from distance and 6-for-15 overall. It was his seventh out of eight games scoring over 16 points and converting multiple threes. Fournier has been relatively consistent as of late, attempting between 12 […]

Aaron Gordon Has Another Rough Shooting Night

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon scored 18 points in a loss at Oklahoma City on Monday. Gordon was 7-for-20 from the field and a dismal 1-for-7 from three. Gordon has struggled shooting the ball in his first three games back from injury, but has found other ways to contribute. He had seven rebounds and three […]

Taurean Prince Pours in 24 Points

Atlanta Hawks small forward Taurean Prince had a good night in the team's 19-point loss to the Lakers. Prince scored 24 points with an uncharacteristic seven free throw attempts while adding three rebounds, three assists, three steals and one turnover. Up next, Prince gets the Pacers, who have allowed the third most fantasy points to […]

Pascal Siakam Stays Hot With 11 Points

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam led the second unit with 11 points against Detroit, shooting 5-for-7 from the field on the night. Siakam was effective in other areas as well, chipping in five rebounds and six assists while keeping the opposing offense in check with two blocks in his 24 minutes. The only downside to […]

Paul Zipser Doubtful on Monday

Chicago Bulls forward Paul Zipser (foot) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Both Justin Holiday and Robin Lopez are expected to be sidelined. Zipser was forced to miss Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves and played just seven minutes in the game prior to that. David Nwaba and Denzel Valentine will see […]

Tyreke Evans Ruled Out on Monday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (ribs) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. An MRI revealed slight cartilage damage, but Evans is considered day-to-day. "We're not expecting it to be a long absence," coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. Andrew Harrison is expected to see a higher usage rate without Evans on the […]
