Jrue Holiday's First-Round DFS Preview

New Orleans Pelicans point guard/shooting guard Jrue Holiday is a good play when he matches up against the potent back court of the Portland Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum. Holiday's numbers against the Blazers have a slight bump overall, but the main jump in numbers comes from his assists, which increase from 6.0 a […]

Andrew Wiggins' First-Round DFS Preview

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Andrew Wiggins has seen his numbers dip against the Rockets this season. In his four meetings against Houston this year, Wiggins is averaging 16.3 points per game and is shooting just 39 percent from the field, which are both below his season averages. During that same span, he has also failed to […]

Jimmy Butler's First-Round DFS Preview

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler is a risky DFS play on Sunday when his team takes on the Rockets in the opening round of the playoffs. Butler hasn't played well against Houston all season, averaging only 16 points on a rough 40 percent shooting from the field in addition to a less impressive 12 percent […]

Klay Thompson's First-Round Preview

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson made 57.9 percent of his three-point attempts in three meetings with the San Antonio Spurs during the regular season. Of all players in the NBA who shot at least 10 threes against the Spurs, Thompson had the sixth highest shooting percentage on those shots. This is notable because […]

Donovan Mitchell Shoots Poorly In Regular Season Finale

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell couldn't cap off his amazing rookie campaign with a bang, as his shot simply wasn't there Wednesday night against Portland. He failed to make at least 30 percent of his shots for the first time since March 9, finishing 6-for-23 from the field and 1-for-8 from downtown for 17 points. […]

C.J. McCollum Finishes Regular Season With a 19-Point Night

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard C.J. McCollum yet again couldn't reach 20 points in the team's regular season finale on Wednesday, finishing with 19 in a 102-93 win over Utah. McCollum has averaged 21.4 points this season, but he's now gone five games straight without reaching the 20-point mark. His fantasy value relies heavily on […]

Josh Hart Leads Lakers To Victory Versus Clippers

Los Angeles Lakers guard Josh Hart made sure that the team wouldn't end the 2017-18 season on a losing note, scoring a career-high 30 points in a 115-100 win over the Clippers. He made seven of nine attempts from downtown while shooting 9-for-15 overall from the field. Hart also had five rebounds, five assists and […]

Mario Hezonja With Full Line

Orlando Magic shooting guard/small forward Mario Hezonja finished with a full line in a nine-point win over the Washington Wizards in this meaningless contest. All of his makes came from deep, as he went 3-for-5 from there and 3-for-9 overall from the floor. He supplemented his line by adding eight boards with six assists and […]

D'Angelo Russell Quiet In Loss

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell played just 23 minutes in his team's 13-point loss to the Boston Celtics. Russell managed just 11 points on 5-for-12 shooting while knocking down one of five attempts from deep and managed three assists and a single steal on the night. Russell had a rather disappointing season with high hopes […]

Caris LeVert Gets Start

Brooklyn Nets shooting guard/small forward Caris LeVert got his first start since December in his squad's 13-point loss to the Boston Celtics. LeVert did not provide his best game, going only 4-for-13 from the floor while finishing with 11 points. He added six assists with two rebounds and a smooth three steals. LeVert had some […]

David Nwaba Chips In 13 Points

Chicago Bulls shooting guard/small forward David Nwaba provided 13 points in a 119-87 blowout loss to the Detroit Pistons in the final night of the season. Nwaba connected on only five of 16 attempts from the floor and made one of his three attempts from behind the arc. Nwaba added six rebounds while dishing out […]

Luke Kennard With Career-High 23 Points

Detroit Pistons shooting guard Luke Kennard notched a career high in points in a blowout win against the Chicago Bulls. Kennard got hot, scoring 23 points on eight of 14 shots from the floor while connecting on three of six from deep and making all four of his attempts at the line. Kennard added a […]

James Harden’s First-Round DFS Preview

Houston Rockets guard James Harden will square off against the Timberwolves in the opening round of the 2018 NBA playoffs. Harden has been somewhat held in check against Minnesota this season, averaging 27.3 points per game. He has also seen a reduction in his field goal percentage in his four meetings against them this year, […]

Al Horford, Terry Rozier Out on Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Terry Rozier (rest) and forward/center Al Horford (rest) will not play against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so it is not surprising to see the Celtics rest their starters. Shane Larkin is expected to draw the start, while Kadeem Allen will back him up. […]

Goran Dragic is Doubtful on Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Head coach Erik Spoelstra said the team is going to be smart in dealing with Dragic's soreness in his knee. It's the regular season finale and the Heat have already locked down a playoff spot, so expect Dragic to rest. […]

Courtney Lee is Questionable on Wednesday

New York Knicks guard/forward Courtney Lee (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. It's the regular season finale, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him sidelined along with teammates Enes Kanter (wrist, back) and Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) on Wednesday. Frank Ntilikina, Lance Thomas and Michael Beasley would see an increased […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Ruled Out Against Cavs

New York Knicks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. He will be sidelined along with teammate Enes Kanter (wrist, back) for the regular season finale in Cleveland. Trey Burke, Frank Ntilikina and Kyle O'Quinn are expected to join the starting five on Wednesday. All three players […]

Rodney Hood Ruled Out on Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Rodney Hood (Achilles) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. Hood will miss the final two games of the regular season, but it sounds precautionary. The Cavs want to be cautious with injuries as they head into the postseason. Kyle Korver should join the starting five, while […]

Josh Hart Leads Lakers In Scoring Against Houston

Los Angeles Lakers guard Josh Hart played 39 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Houston Rockets. He scored 20 points on 8-for-17 shooting over that time frame. With the Lakers dealing with injuries in the back court, it was Hart and Alex Caruso earning the starts. Hart could see similar burn in Wednesday's season finale […]

James Harden Scores 21 Points Against Lakers

Houston Rockets guard James Harden scored 21 points on 6-for-15 shooting in Houston's win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday. Harden, who added 10 assists in the game as well, didn't play at the conclusion of the single-digit victory, a sign that head coach Mike D'Antoni might want to rest his star more on […]

Jaylen Brown Rides Sizzling Start To 27 Points

Boston Celtics shooting guard Jaylen Brown was a man from another planet in the opening quarter on Tuesday against Washington, almost outscoring the Wizards on his own by getting 21 points. He ended up finishing the game with 27 points in 32 minutes, shooting 8-for-18 from the field and nailing six of 10 attempts from […]

Bradley Beal Scores 19 Points In Win Over Boston

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal provided 19 points in the team's 113-101 win over Boston on Tuesday, shooting 6-for-16 from the field and 3-for-7 from outside. He also had four rebounds and four assists in 38 minutes on the floor. Beal has been quite inconsistent this month, flipping between great nights and not so […]

Marco Belinelli Scores 20 Points Off The Bench

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Marco Belinelli had another 20-plus point game off the bench on Tuesday, scoring 20 points in 31 minutes against his former team, the Hawks. He didn't shoot very well, going 6-for-15 from the floor, but did some great work from behind the arc with 5-for-12. Belinelli also had four rebounds in […]

J.J. Redick Paces Sixers In Tuesday's Win

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard J.J. Redick had his third game in the last four outings with 20-plus points on Tuesday, getting a game-high 28 points against the Hawks. Redick's usage rate has been up ever since Joel Embiid (face) got injured, and he's gotten better and better. He went 9-for-17 from the field against Atlanta, […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/11/18): NBA DFS Lineups

This is it, the final day of the NBA regular season. The most important game on the slate is Denver at Minnesota, as this will determine the final playoff spot in the Western Conference, it's very simple for that game, win and you are in, lose and you're season is over. There are other games […]

Troy Daniels is Questionable on Tuesday

Phoenix Suns guard Troy Daniels (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Devin Booker (hand), T.J. Warren (knee), and Elfrid Payton (knee) have already been ruled out for this contest. Daniels has been playing well with most of the Suns best players sidelined. However, he played just 14 minutes in the loss […]

Devin Booker Won't Play on Tuesday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hand) will not play against the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday. Booker will join teammates T.J. Warren (knee) and Elfrid Payton (knee) on the sidelines for the Suns regular season finale. The Suns have already locked up the NBA's worst record, so they will be cautious with injuries in a meaningless […]

Josh Jackson Won't Play Tuesday

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Josh Jackson (quadriceps) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Jackson's rookie season will come to an end after missing the final two games of the regular season. He played much better after the All-Star break, averaging 18.7 points per game. The Suns are really banged up, so […]

Victor Oladipo Ruled Out on Tuesday

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (foot) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Oladipo will finish the season averaging 23.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.3 assists and a league-leading 2.4 steals. The Pacers are likely just being cautious with Oladipo since it's their last game of the regular season. Lance Stephenson is […]

E'Twaun Moore Has Strong Night Against Clippers

New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard E'Twaun Moore scored 19 points on 7-for-13 shooting in Monday's win over the Los Angeles Clippers. Moore added five rebounds and three assists. The 28-year-old guard is 12th in the NBA in three-point field goal percentage, but Wednesday's opponent, the San Antonio Spurs, hold opponents to the sixth lowest shooting […]
