Vince Carter Expected to Stay in Sacramento

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Vince Carter is expected to spend the rest of the season in Sacramento. There were rumors of a buyout, but the Kings reportedly said they prefer not to buy out Carter. The Raptors would have been an ideal fit for the 41-year-old veteran, but there is a chance he signs with Toronto […]

Klay Thompson Hopeful to Stay in Golden State

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Klay Thompson said that he "hopefully" will re-sign with the Warriors. He will not have a chance to test free agency until July of 2019. "Playing for one team your whole career is definitely special. Only so many guys have done it in professional sports, so it’ll be a goal of […]

Gordon Hayward Will Travel With Team

Boston Celtics guard/forward Gordon Hayward (leg) said he plans to start traveling with the team in March. He continues to make progress, but has no timetable for his return. Hayward is considered doubtful to return this season. The Celtics are playing fine without him and aren't going to rush him back on the court. Owners […]

Brandon Ingram’s Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

Los Angeles Lakers forward Brandon Ingram has found himself as one of the leading men on an inexperienced Lakers squad. Ingram has drastically improved on his play from last season, averaging 16.2 points per game, 6.8 points more than he did during his rookie campaign. With the Lakers possessing one of the easier schedules in […]

Chandler Parsons' Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

Memphis Grizzlies forward Chandler Parsons returned on Wednesday but could see less playing time in the second half. Parsons played for the first time since Dec. 27, but fantasy owners should not get their hopes up. He played 12 minutes, scoring five points with one rebound and two assists. When healthy, Parsons can be a […]

Manu Ginobili Should Return Next Week

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Manu Ginobili (foot) is expected to return after the All-Star break. Spurs general manager R.C. Buford said Ginobili's injury does not "appear to be anything severe." Ginobili was injured in the third quarter of Tuesday's loss to the Denver Nuggets. He limped to the locker room and was unable to return. […]

Kyle Kuzma's Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma has had a relatively exceptional inaugural campaign thus far. Kuzma ranks third in rookie scoring with 15.7 points per game, behind only Sixers guard/forward Ben Simmons and Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell. After taking over a bulk of the duties at the four spot earlier in the year when forward […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/15/18): NBA DFS Lineups

Today is the last official day of NBA games before the All-Star Break. With only two games scheduled, I won't be playing. I recommend you don't play as well. However, if you're really jones-ing for some NBA action before the break, and you want to play this tiny slate, I'll provide a few thoughts on […]

Gary Harris is Probable Against Bucks

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Gary Harris (foot) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The injury is being called a bruised right mid-foot, but Harris is expected to suit up on Thursday. He had the same injury last month and it did not cost him any games. He should be out there […]

Torrey Craig is Not With The Team

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Torrey Craig (personal) is not with the team and is questionable to play against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. He's not in the G-League either, so it is unclear why Craig is not currently with the Nuggets. Malik Beasley will see additional playing time if Craig does not join the team before […]

Joe Johnson Struggles In First Game As A Rocket

Houston Rockets forward Joe Johnson made his Rockets debut on Wednesday, scoring nine points on 2-for-9 shooting. Johnson struggled with his shot early and wasn't able to make a big difference for the Rockets, though he did play 31 minutes. The playing time should change after the All-Star break, as Eric Gordon (knee) and Trevor […]

Dillon Brooks Solid on Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Dillon Brooks continued with his recent solid play on Wednesday, scoring 14 points against the Oklahoma City Thunder on 6-for-15 shooting. The 22-year-old rookie also had five rebounds, three assists and a steal. Brooks has reached double figures in points 12 times in the last 14 games. His minutes have been steadily […]

Evan Fournier Drops A Dud

Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier scored 13 points in a loss to Charlotte on Wednesday. Fournier just didn't have it going, shooting 5-for-15 from the floor and a dismal 2-for-10 from three. Fournier had been on a nice little run, scoring 20 or more points in his last three games. The Magic don't play until […]

Mario Hezonja Enters The All-Star Break On A Tear

Orlando Magic guard/forward Mario Hezonja scored 21 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in a loss to Charlotte on Wednesday. It's only his second double-double of the season and his fifth game scoring 20 or more points. He's reached that total each of his last three games. With Aaron Gordon (hip) out, Hezonja has flourished. Along […]

Kevin Durant Puts In 50 Points On 27 Shots

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant scored a season-high 50 points in a 117-123 thriller against the Blazers on Wednesday as both teams head into the All-Star break. Durant shot 17 of 27 from the field and connected on 6-for-14 from downtown. The former Finals MVP would add seven boards and six assists to go […]

Pascal Siakam Leads the Second Unit With 17 Points

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam had another strong performance on Wednesday, scoring 17 points against the Bulls, going 7-for-9 from the field and 2-for-2 from beyond the arc in this one. Siakam was fairly active all over the floor in Chicago, adding six rebounds, two assists and one steal in the win while committing zero […]

Paul George Has Solid Night Shooting

Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Paul George had a very good outing Wednesday night versus the Memphis Grizzlies. George scored 28 points, going 10-for-15 from the floor, with six of those made shots coming from deep. Also in the contest, George had six rebounds, four assists and two steals. This was the sixth game in […]

Josh Richardson Scores Just Six Points Wednesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson put up a dud in the scoring column Wednesday night against the Philadelphia 76ers. Richardson scored just six points on 2-for-5 shooting in 23 minutes. Richardson has shot 35.7 percent over his last two games and will get a much needed break as Miami does not play until next Friday […]

DeMarre Carroll Gets Double-Double Against Pacers

Brooklyn Nets small forward DeMarre Carroll had another double-double despite his team falling just short. The Nets have been losing a lot of games lately, but none of that is Carroll’s fault. Carroll has been the most consistent player for the Nets, and he is really making good on the trade last offseason. With his […]

Chandler Parsons And JaMychal Green Will Play Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies forwards Chandler Parsons (knee) and JaMychal Green (illness) will be available for Wednesday night's contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Parsons has been out since early December with knee soreness but relayed he is ready to make his return in their last game before the All-Star break. Meanwhile, Green was feeling a little […]

Chandler Parsons Could Play on Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Chandler Parsons (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Parsons "plans" to play on Wednesday, but will be under heavy restrictions. He has missed 20 straight games and has not played in a game since December 27, but could return on Wednesday. He's not someone worth targeting in […]

Draymond Green Will Play Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (finger) will play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. He did not play in Monday's victory over the Suns, but his injury is not considered serious. The Warriors have been cautious with injuries this season, so that is likely why Green sat out on Monday. Omri Casspi, Kevon […]

Kent Bazemore Ruled Out Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Kent Bazemore (rest) will not play against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. Dennis Schroder (back) and Ersan Ilyasova (shoulder) will be sidelined as well. The Hawks are going to be thin at guard and on the wing against the Pistons. Taurean Prince, DeAndre Bembry and Tyler Dorsey will all see a significant […]

Ersan Ilyasova Ruled Out Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Ersan Ilyasova (shoulder) will not play against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. The Hawks will also be without Dennis Schroder (back) and Kent Bazemore (rest) against the Pistons. John Collins should see a significant amount of playing time without Ilyasova in the rotation. He'll be someone worth looking at in DFS on […]

Markieff Morris is Probable for Wednesday

Washington Wizards forward/center Markieff Morris (illness) is probable for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. He sat out of Saturday's game and was unable to practice on Monday. However, it appears Morris is on track to play in Wednesday's contest. Owners should check back closer to tip-off for confirmation on his status. Kelly Oubre […]

Aaron Gordon Won't Play Against Hornets

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets. He was doubtful heading into Wednesday, but this was a no-brainer for Orlando. Sitting Gordon will allow him an extra eight days of rest and he's already withdrawn from the dunk contest. The Magic have a solid chance […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/14/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a MASSIVE 12 game NBA slate, as it is the last full day before the All-Star break, and there are some interesting options across the board. There are a number of injuries going around, so this should open up some value plays once we get the starting lineups. In this article, I will be […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds for Week 18

A lot will change after the NBA All-Star break. Young players will get more run, older players will take more rest days and certain players will come out of nowhere to win fantasy basketball championships. If your fantasy team is sitting comfortably near the top, it might be worth using a roster spot on a […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Scores 19 Points

Sacramento Kings guard Bogdan Bogdanovic looked great in a 104-99 win over the Dallas Mavericks. The rookie finished with 19 points on eight of 17 from the floor and added five rebounds, four assists and three makes from downtown. The 19 points scored were the most for him since Jan. 17 after his hot start […]

OG Anunoby Will Play Tuesday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward OG Anunoby (ankle) will play Tuesday against the Miami Heat after a one-game absence with a sprained ankle. Head coach Dwayne Casey relayed Anunoby's ankle isn't fully healed, so he will likely be limited. Even though Anunoby starts, his low usage rate next to Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan limits his overall […]
