FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/26/18): NBA DFS Lineups
So, this is different. There's only one game tonight after being spoiled with games last night. Only the Bucks and Celtics will play tonight and luckily FanDuel runs this nifty single-game contest that only allows you to roster five total players. To make it easy, I'll do my best to label each pick that is […]

Cleveland Cavaliers guard George Hill (back) is questionable for Wednesday's Game 5 versus the Indiana Pacers. Hill was sidelined during Game 4 and is in danger of missing his second straight game.

Tyler Johnson Could Have Surgery
Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (thumb) is expected to have surgery on his right thumb. He sustained the injury during Game 3, but was able to play through the rest of the series. Johnson was bothered by his thumb throughout the playoff series, but it did not seem too serious at the time. "[Johnson is] […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/24/18): NBA DFS Lineups
Three games tonight and plenty of options. Usually this would be good but both the Celtics-Bucks and 76ers-Heat have been somewhat of a crapshoot. The shooters are hitting about every other game, although the superstars have been producing like they should. Game four of Warriors-Spurs shouldn't continue down that same path and expect the Warriors […]
Donovan Mitchell Erupts For 33 Points
Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell's 33 points broke a club record for points in a playoff game for a rookie, beating out Karl Malone's 31 that he had in 1986. Mitchell was electric, converting 13-for-28 from the floor while adding seven rebounds with four assists. To add to the amazing line, he did not commit […]

Manu Ginobili Has Strong Game Off The Bench In Game 4
San Antonio Spurs shooting guard Manu Ginobili hasn't said yet if he'll be retiring after this season, but rumors have swirled about it all season. If he does retire, it won't be after a first-round sweep, as Ginobili played a big role in getting the Spurs their first win of the series. He scored 16 […]
Klay Thompson Struggles In Game 4
Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson's shot wasn't falling in Sunday's Game 4 loss to the San Antonio Spurs.

Thompson's DFS value lies mostly in his ability […]
FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/23/18): NBA DFS Lineups

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/23/18): NBA DFS Lineups
Only two games on the slate which means this article will be on the shorter side. On night's like tonight, there are already plenty of sub-$3,000 options that are actually capable of exceeding their projected. They carry a fair share amount of risk but they also free up enough space to really roster whoever you […]
Bojan Bogdanovic Cools Off In Game 4
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bojan Bogdanovic, who had an amazing 30-point performance in Game 3 against the Cavs, couldn't keep it going Sunday in Game 4. After missing only four shots in the previous outing, he ended up making just four, finishing 4-for-13 from the floor, including 2-for-8 from downtown. He added six rebounds and 10 […]
Victor Oladipo Struggles From The Field In Game 4 Loss

Bradley Beal Continues Strong Play
Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal had another outstanding outing this time it was Game Four versus the Toronto Raptors on Sunday.
