Courtney Lee Remains Out Friday

New York Knicks guard Courtney Lee (neck) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. This neck issue has been bothering Lee for about a month and has made it difficult for him to practice at all. Frank Ntilikina is going to start, but doesn't have a bunch of upside […]

Allen Crabbe Will Play Against Knicks

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Allen Crabbe (ankle) will play against the New York Knicks on Friday. Crabbe sat out of the season opener on Wednesday, but is back and ready to go for this one. Head coach Kenny Atkinson has not said whether or not Crabbe will have a minutes limit. Joe Harris should lose some […]

Andre Iguodala is Sitting Out on Friday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Andre Iguodala (calf) is sitting out of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. He was questionable heading into this one, but the Warriors are going to be cautious with Iggy. Jordan Bell should see increased playing time in this one. Jonas Jerebko and Alfonzo McKinnie could get some minutes as well, […]

Nik Stauskas Goes Off In Win

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard Nik Stauskas got things going off the bench in his club's win over the Los Angeles Lakers by a score of 128-119. Stauskas registered 24 points on five makes from three and even added a couple rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes of action. The Canadian knocked down four […]

Josh Hart Goes For 20 Points Off The Bench

Los Angeles Lakers guard Josh Hart had an excellent season debut as he scored 20 points off the bench for his squad. Hart came out firing as he connected on 8-for-12 shooting overall while making 3-for-5 from downtown and did not stop there as he had four rebounds, three steals with two blocks in 27 […]

Brandon Ingram Fills The Stat Sheet

Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard/small forward Brandon Ingram scored 16 points with great supporting stats in his club's loss. Ingram shot 7-for-15 from the floor but missed all of his attempts from three but added four rebounds, one assist and added two steals with two blocks on the night. Ingram will continue to get solid […]

Austin Rivers Gets 25 Minutes Off The Bench In Loss

Washington Wizards guard Austin Rivers scored nine points in 25 minutes as his club lost a close one to the Miami Heat. Rivers added a couple of assists without any turnovers as he got some extra run with Bradley Beal in foul trouble. We will not see the same production out of Rivers that we […]

Bradley Beal Scores 20 Points In 27 Minutes

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal scored 20 points but struggled with foul trouble in the first half as his club lost 113-112. Beal drained seven of his 16 attempts and dished out two assists with a steal in his limited 27 minutes. Beal would have been had a better night if it was not […]

Josh Richardson Fills It Up Again

Miami Heat shooting guard/small forward Josh Richardson once again led the charge for his club as they picked up the one-point win. J-Rich put up a career 21 shots and connected on eight of them as he scored 28 points and did not stop there as he added four rebounds with five assists and five […]

Rodney McGruder Puts Together A Career Night

Miami Heat shooting guard/small forward Rodney McGruder set a career high in points (20) and assists (eight) as he filled up the stat sheet in the win. McGruder connected on seven of his 12 shots from the floor and also managed to grab six rebounds with three makes from downtown on the night. McGruder looks […]

Dwyane Wade Expected to Play on Thursday

Miami Heat shooting guard Dwyane Wade (rest) is expected to play in Thursday's contest against the Washington Wizards. It's the second game in a back-to-back set, so usually a veteran like Wade would rest. However, the Heat are banged up and need all the help they can get right now. Wade should see minutes in […]

Allen Crabbe Could Play on Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Allen Crabbe (ankle) is probable for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. There haven't been any reports about Crabbe practicing, so this is surprising news. His return should decrease the playing time of guys like Joe Harris. Crabbe is really only worth a look in deeper leagues at the moment.

Dion Waiters, James Johnson Will Sit Out on Thursday

Miami Heat guard/forward Dion Waiters (ankle) and forward James Johnson (hernia) will both remain on the sideline for Thursday's game. There have not been any reports of Waiters increasing activity at practice. His timetable remains a question mark at the moment. Johnson should return to action shortly. He could be back in the rotation as […]

Wayne Ellington is Questionable on Thursday

Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. Ellington was forced to miss all of the preseason and the first game of the season due to a sore left ankle. The Heat have multiple players likely watching from the sidelines on Thursday. Josh Richardson should see […]

Malik Monk Comes Up Big Off The Bench

Charlotte Hornets shooting guard Malik Monk started on the bench, but still played 34 minutes on Wednesday against the Bucks. Like in preseason Monk had the green light to shoot, putting up 16 shots, including eight from deep.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/18/18): NBA DFS Lineups

With the MLB postseason in full swing, the NFL season approaching its midway point, and more importantly, the NBA back in action, there is no better time of year to be a sports fan. (I've heard various arguments for other times of the year - they're all iniquitous and worthy of a boisterous Kawhi laugh.) […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (10/18/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

We are officially on our second day of NBA DFS basketball and Thursday's three game slate has a lot to live up to. There are already plenty of names starting to emerge and unfortunately for the Miami Heat, they will be the only team on the second night of a back-to-back. A little cruel, but […]

Devin Booker Opens Season With 35 Points

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker scored 35 points on 12-for-19 shooting in Wednesday's victory over the Dallas Mavericks. He also passed for seven assists and pulled down four rebounds. With center Deandre Ayton in the middle and some good shooters stretching the floor for Phoenix, Booker could find life a lot easier this year, giving […]

Wesley Matthews Effective In Opener

Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Wesley Matthews scored 15 points on 4-for-10 shooting in Wednesday's loss the Phoenix Suns. He also added in five assists, a steal, and a pair of rebounds. Matthews will need to be efficient to make an impact this season for the Mavericks, as his assist numbers from Wednesday are unlikely to […]

Eric Gordon Leads Houston In Scoring In Opener

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon scored 21 points on 7-for-14 shooting in 29 minutes of action against the Pelicans on Wednesday, adding in three rebounds and an assist as well. Though the Rockets officially listed Carmelo Anthony as the sixth man in the game notes, Gordon is still clearly Houston's best bench player and the […]

James Harden Narrowly Misses Triple-Double

Houston Rockets guard James Harden had far from his best game in Wednesday's loss to the Pelicans, but for fantasy purposes his stat line -- 18 points on 6-for-15 shooting, 10 assists, nine rebounds, three steals, and a block -- helped salvage something from his performance. Harden is unlikely to flirt with triple-doubles as often […]

Lou Williams Scores 14 Points In 24 Minutes

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams did his damage off the bench but his club lost to the Denver Nuggets. Williams shot 4-for-10 from the floor and 2-for-6 from three while dishing out five assists in this one. Williams will most likely be getting more minutes most nights and either way, he does not need […]

Will Barton Scores 19 Points in Win

Denver Nuggets shooting guard/small forward Will Barton scored 19 points on 6-for-12 shooting while knocking down three makes from deep in his club's win. Barton added five rebounds with two assists and a solid two blocks in 35 minutes of action. Barton was aggressive in this one and after signing his nice contract in the […]

Jamal Murray Struggles In Season Opener

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray could not get things going in his club's season opener against the Los Angeles Clippers. Murray managed to go 3-for-12 from the field for seven points with three assists, five rebounds, one steal with a make from deep in 32 minutes of action. Murray will get past this one quick […]

Gary Harris Aggressive In 34 Minutes

Denver Nuggets shooting guard Gary Harris looks to be past his preseason hamstring tweak as he connected on 6-for-16 of his shots to finish with 20 points. Harris was aggressive in this one as he added three rebounds with two assists without committing a single turnover. Harris was in fine form in this one and […]

Buddy Hield Posts 19 Points In Wednesday's Loss

Sacramento Kings guard Buddy Hield had a solid opening-night performance, finishing with 19 points over 32 minutes while going 9-for-18 from the field on Wednesday against the Utah Jazz.

Evan Fournier Scores 13 Points

Orlando Magic shooting guard/small forward Evan Fournier put up 13 points in his club's season opener against the Miami Heat. Fournier added two rebounds, five assists with a steal and a turnover as he struggled from the floor to connect on just five of his 15 attempts. Fournier is a solid fantasy producer and owners […]
