James Harden Records Triple-Double Against Hawks
Houston Rockets guard James Harden is back in the point guard role that he occupied during the 2016-2017 season while Chris Paul is out and he put on a performance Sunday that was reminiscent of that season, when Harden led the NBA in assists. The guard scored 18 points on 6-for-15 shooting and dished out […]
C.J. McCollum Erupts For 35 Points
Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum totaled 34 points (14-24 FG, 5-9 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and one steal across 38 minutes in Sunday's 108-105 win over the Thunder.

Russell Westbrook Just Misses Triple-Double
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook fell short of a triple-double on Sunday, scoring 23 points to go along with eight boards and nine assists. He did rack up four steals before fouling out in what was a testy game between the Thunder and the Trail Blazers. Westbrook continues to fill it up across […]
Bradley Beal Shoots Poorly In Loss To Knicks
Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal lost his shooting touch against the New York Knicks Sunday.

Jaylen Brown Scores 19 Points In Return
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (concussion) returned to game action in style on Sunday against the Sacramento Kings.

Tyler Johnson's 19 Points Not Enough On Sunday
Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson paced his team with 19 points on Sunday, but could not lead them to a win over the Indiana Pacers. Johnson shot an efficient 7-for-10 on the night, including 5-for-8 from three-point range, and chipped in four assists and three rebounds. After a string of impressive stat lines, Johnson has […]
Khris Middleton Doesn't Disappoint Versus Spurs

Joe Harris Has Career-Night Versus Cavs
Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Joe Harris got dunked the hell out of him by LeBron James in one sequence on Sunday, but that didn't stop him from dropping a career-high 30 points on his former team. He was red-hot from downtown, making six of seven attempts and shot 11-for-14 overall, adding seven rebounds in 27 […]
Nick Young is Probable on Sunday
Golden State Warriors guard/forward Nick Young (ankle) is probable for Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. He rolled his ankle in Friday's victory over the Hawks and did not return. However, Young finished with 24 points in 26 minutes and has been a strong contributor on offense lately. The Warriors are banged up, so Young […]
Garrett Temple Won't Play Sunday
Sacramento Kings guard/forward Garrett Temple (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics. He'll now miss his second game in a row with an ankle issue. The Kings have elected to hold Temple out a little longer to get a better look at their younger players. Frank Mason and Buddy Hield […]
Gary Harris Targeting March 30th Return
Denver Nuggets guard/forward Gary Harris (knee) will miss at least two more games. Harris will now miss at least six games due to a knee issue. These are important games for Denver, but they do not want to risk Harris' health and future over them. Will Barton is expected to continue to start for Harris. […]
Lance Thomas Ruled Out Sunday
New York Knicks guard/forward Lance Thomas (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Washington Wizards. This will be his fourth straight game sidelined due to a family matter. Thomas was only worth owning in deeper leagues anyway, so this is not a big problem for fantasy owners. Michael Beasley has been fantastic […]
Jaylen Brown is Probable on Sunday
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (concussion) is probable for Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Brown went through some shooting drills on Thursday, and said he's likely returning for Sunday's contest. He's missed six straight games and the Celtics could definitely use his help right now. Shane Larkin and Marcus Morris will lose minutes once […]
Denzel Valentine Keeps It Going
Chicago Bulls shooting guard/small forward notched another solid line in a 117-95 loss to the Detroit Pistons. Valentine finished the night with 18 points on 7-of-14 from the floor while making 4-of-7 from downtown and added to his line with three dimes, three boards and a steal.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 3/25/18. These DFS lineup […]
Josh Jackson Has An Inefficient Game
Phoenix Suns shooting guard Josh Jackson had a rough time shooting Saturday night against the Orlando Magic.

James Harden Scores 27 Points In 30 Minutes Versus Pelicans
Houston Rockets guard James Harden bounced back well from a horrific shooting night he had on Thursday against Detroit, which saw him make only four of 20 field goal attempts, as he shot 11-for-24 against New Orleans on Saturday, finishing with 27 points in 30 minutes. The Beard still struggled from deep, going 2-for-11, but […]
Tyreke Evans Won't Play on Saturday
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (personal) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. It's reportedly an excused absence due to a family illness. Evans played just 19 minutes on Thursday and committed six turnovers. Fantasy owners should go ahead and drop Evans at this point in the season. There should […]
Devin Booker is Doubtful on Saturday
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hand) has been downgraded to doubtful for Saturday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. Booker is now in danger of missing his fourth straight game, but said he will play if able. He wants to be out on the court, but his hand continues to bother him. Josh Jackson and Troy […]
Zach LaVine Ruled Out Saturday
Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. The Bulls announced on Wednesday that they will re-evaluate LaVine in 5-7 days. He's missed four straight games and is likely going to miss more games. The Bulls are going to be careful with LaVine and might shut […]
Kris Dunn Won't Play Saturday
Chicago Bulls guard Kris Dunn (toe) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This will mark his fifth straight game on the sidelines. The Bulls are tanking and are in no rush to bring Dunn back at anything less than 100 percent. He is a drop candidate in most fantasy leagues […]
Jordan Clarkson Takes 14 Shots Off The Bench
Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Jordan Clarkson continues to shoot the ball a lot off the bench for the Cavaliers. On Friday, he made five of his 14 shot attempts and scored 13 points. He also had four rebounds, two assists, and two steals, and missed both of his three point attempts. Clarkson could have another […]
Troy Daniels Makes Six Shots From Downtown
Phoenix Suns shooting guard Troy Daniels made six of his 12 shot attempts from behind the three point line on Friday against the Cavaliers.

Nick Young Scores Season-High 24 Points Against Atlanta
Golden State Warriors shooting guard Nick Young poured in 24 points on 9-for-17 shooting on Friday against Atlanta to post his new season-high in scoring. Swaggy P went crazy from deep, attempting 11 three-pointers, but he also hit them at a good clip, making six shots (54.5 percent), needing only 26 minutes of action to […]
Josh Richardson Struggles In Loss
Miami Heat shooting guard/small forward Josh Richardson couldn't make a shot in a 105-99 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Richardson finished with four points on a rough 2-of-10 from the floor and only added five assists and a rebound without any defensive stats to his disappointing line. His offense has been up and down […]
Victor Oladipo Played Inefficiently Friday Night
Indiana Pacers shooting guard Victor Oladipo didn't have his best of games Friday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. Oladipo scored 18 points going 4-for-16 from the field and 7-for-8 from the free throw line. Also in the contest, Oladipo had six boards, four assists, and two steals. Not every outing is like the for […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/24/18): NBA DFS Lineups
We have a five game slate and there are some interesting options across the board. Not a ton of injuries as of right now, so lineup construction should be pretty straight forward, which could make it difficult to get some of the bigger name players into the same lineup. In this article, I will be providing you […]
