Kawhi Leonard Scores 26 Points In Wednesday's Loss
Toronto Raptors shooting guard/small forward Kawhi Leonard provided an excellent line for his owners in his club's loss on Wednesday to the Detroit Pistons. Leonard was 10-for-18 from the floor for 26 points with nine rebounds and added four assists with three steals, but if your league includes turnovers, he did cough the ball up […]
Danny Green Leaves Game With Back Tightness
Toronto Raptors shooting guard/small forward Danny Green (back) exited Wednesday night's game with some back tightness and did not return in the club's loss. Green put up five points with a make from three with two rebounds and an assist in 20 minutes before his departure. Hopefully, it is nothing serious for owners, but if […]
Tyler Johnson Posts Season-High 24 Points
Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson erupted for a season-high 24 points against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night. Johnson was able to add five rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two three-pointers in 31 minutes of action. Dwyane Wade (personal) has missed the team's previous four contests, and Johnson has made the most of his […]
Bryn Forbes Stays Hot From Deep
San Antonio Spurs shooting guard Bryn Forbes kept on shooting during Wednesday night’s loss to the Phoenix Suns. Despite the return of Derrick White to the fold, Forbes has remained in the starting lineup and added three more threes, good for 13 points in 28 minutes. Unfortunately, his ceiling is capped by his overall lack […]
DeMar DeRozan Delivers 24-Point Effort
San Antonio Spurs shooting guard DeMar DeRozan went for 24 points during the team’s loss to the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday.

Tim Hardaway Jr. Scores Team-High 20 Points
New York Knicks shooting guard Tim Hardaway Jr. continued to have a green light on the offensive end during Wednesday night's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (11/15/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
There are only three games tonight and while that usually seems like a bummer, it's still something we can work with. Sometimes having more games and the extra options are a nice bonus that alludes for very creative lineups that can cash out. With smaller slates, we need to be precise and have to make […]
Gordon Hayward Leads Celtics In Plus/Minus
Boston Celtics small forward Gordon Hayward filled the stat sheet during Wednesday’s win over the Chicago Bulls, finishing with 11 points, four rebounds, four assists and three steals, with the Celtics finishing plus-24 while he was on the floor. The scoring drought continues to be a concern for Hayward, but if owners can take any […]
Jaylen Brown Scores Season-High 18 Points
Boston Celtics shooting guard/small forward Jaylen Brown scored a season-high 18 points during Wednesday night's win over the Chicago Bulls. His performance comes on the heels of taking a season-low seven shots last time out against the Portland Trail Blazers, so it’s a step in the right direction for the third-year wing who is attempting […]
Donte DiVincenzo Only Able To Play Six Minutes
Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard Donte Divincenzo (knee) saw just six minutes of action off the bench before leaving Wednesday night's game against the Grizzlies. The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's Matt Velazquez is reporting that DiVincenzo, who will not return to the game, is dealing with left knee soreness. The 6-foot-4 rookie finished the game with three points […]
Reggie Bullock Hits Game-Winner In Toronto
Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Bullock hit a fadeaway jumper at the buzzer to beat the Toronto Raptors. Bullock saved the day as the Pistons picked up a huge win in Toronto, but did not do much from a fantasy perspective. The buzzer beater was just one of two field goals made out of nine attempts […]
Zach LaVine Held To Season-Low 10 Points
Chicago Bulls shooting guard Zach LaVine was finally held down during Wednesday’s loss to the Boston Celtics, finishing with 10 points on 3-for-11 shooting.

Wesley Matthews Good To Go Wednesday
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (hamstring) will play Wednesday night against the Utah Jazz. Matthews missed Monday's game with a hamstring injury, but was listed as probable coming into Wednesday. Still, due to the nature of hamstring injuries, it is encouraging Matthews is only missing one game with the injury. Dorian Finney-Smith will return to […]
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (11/14/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
We have an 11-game slate tonight, with fantastic options at each position, so you will be looking to jam some of these studs in your lineups. We are a few games into the season and starting to see some good numbers when it comes to usage rate and fantasy points per minute. In this article, […]
Wesley Matthews is Probable on Wednesday
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (hamstring) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Matthews was unable to suit up for Monday's contest against the Chicago Bulls. Dorian Finney-Smith would return to the bench and be irrelevant in fantasy basketball if Matthews returns on Wednesday.
Elfrid Payton Remains Questionable on Wednesday
New Orleans Pelicans guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) remains questionable for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Payton has missed the last eight games with an ankle issue. Most likely Payton would be dealing with a minutes limit, assuming he's able to play. Having a minutes limit would kill off any DFS value that Payton might've […]
Kyle Korver Ruled Out on Wednesday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Kyle Korver (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game. He didn't practice on Monday and missed Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. It's unclear how serious this issue is at the moment, but the Cavs are really banged up. Rodney Hood, J.R. Smith, and Jordan Clarkson will see more minutes in […]
Avery Bradley is Questionable Against Spurs
Los Angeles Clippers guard Avery Bradley (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Bradley has missed the last four games, but has a chance to return on Thursday. It's unclear if Bradley will be under a minutes limit, but Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has taken over the starting spot anyway. It's unlikely that […]
Gary Harris Gets Out Of Shooting Slump Against Rockets
Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris was shooting under 30 percent from the field and from three over four games before Tuesday's loss to the Rockets, but Harris started to emerge from his cocoon, scoring 15 points on 6-for-13 shooting and hitting three of his six attempts from downtown. He had four steals as well. Harris […]
RotoBaller NBA Recap: Addition By Subtraction
We've all heard the phrase, "addition by subtraction" - a phrase which, by definition, is impossible to comprehend. I mean, how can you complete the process of adding something to something else while taking one number or amount away from another? It makes no sense. Unless, of course, you're the Cleveland Cavaliers, Houston Rockets, or Golden State […]
Nikola Vucevic, Evan Fournier Will Play on Wednesday
Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic (soreness) and guard/forward Evan Fournier (soreness) will play in Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Head coach Steve Cifford said both players are dealing with minor injuries, but will play through them. The Magic have played seven games in 11 days, so it makes sense why some players are dealing […]
Markelle Fultz Heads to The Bench
Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz will come off the bench versus the Orlando Magic on Wednesday. The addition of Jimmy Butler might've killed off all hopes of Fultz returning to the starting lineup this season. J.J. Redick makes more sense with alongside Butler, so that's what head coach Brett Brown is going to use for […]
Jimmy Butler is Starting on Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jimmy Butler will make his Sixers debut on Wednesday versus the Orlando Magic. He'll join Ben Simmons, J.J. Redick, Wilson Chandler and Joel Embiid in the starting five. This is likely going to be the starting lineup that the Sixers continue to roll with for the foreseeable future. Butler is a safe […]
Emmanuel Mudiay Joins Starting Five on Wednesday
New York Knicks guard Emmanuel Mudiay will join the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Frank Nitlikina will head to the bench after logging in just six minutes last game. Head coach David Fizdale is shaking up his lineup, but that doesn't mean this is a long term move. Nitlikina should […]
Dario Saric, Robert Covington Will Play on Wednesday
Minnesota Timberwolves forwards Dario Saric and Robert Covington will make their debuts with the Wolves on Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Head coach Tom Thibodeau didn't say whether they would start or not. Taj Gibson could continue drawing starts until Saric is up to speed, but regardless Saric should see plenty of minutes. DFS […]
