DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/13/18): NBA DFS Lineups
There are plenty of games tonight and the value is there but scarce. With the amount of superstars playing you are going to need to pay up in the right places. The Suns-Cavaliers and Nuggets-Lakers are the games to stack and the points will be flying around in both games. Other than that, look for […]
Reggie Bullock is Doubtful on Tuesday
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Reggie Bullock (back) is doubtful for Tuesday's game versus the Utah Jazz, according to head coach Stan Van Gundy. Bullock was involved in a car accident on Sunday but walked away with a minor back issue. He was able to do some light shooting, so that is a good sign going forward. […]
Wesley Matthews Likely Done For The Season
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (leg) is likely going to miss the remainder of the season. He's been diagnosed with a fracture to his right proximal fibula. Matthews is not expected to have surgery and will rehab over the next couple of weeks. The Mavs are playing for draft positioning, so there is no incentive […]
Rodney Hood is Doubtful on Tuesday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Rodney Hood (back) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He missed Sunday's game and only played seven minutes in the game prior to that. The Cavs should easily beat the Suns, so they have no reason to rush Hood back on the court. Kyle Korver finished with […]
Eric Bledsoe Scores 14 Points In Blowout Win
Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe quietly had an effective game, scoring 14 points on 6-for-13 shooting from the field, 2-for-4 from deep, six rebounds and five assists in their win over the lottery-bound Memphis Grizzlies. He only played 24 minutes due to foul trouble but still managed to put up a very decent stat line. […]
Buddy Hield Plays Only 15 Minutes
Sacramento Kings shooting guard Buddy Hield saw only 15 minutes of play in a 106-101 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Hield finished with a pretty empty line of only three points, one rebound and two blocks on a dismal one of six from the floor. He had played at least 27 minutes a game in […]
Bogdan Bogdanovic Bounces Back With 19 Points
Sacramento Kings shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic put together a good stat line in a 106-101 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Bogdanovic finished the night with 19 points on six of 11 shooting from the floor, three of seven from downtown and four of five from the free throw line. He also added eight rebounds and three dimes, […]
Andrew Wiggins Scores 23 Points In Big Win
Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard Andrew Wiggins had a solid game in a big win over the Golden State Warriors on Sunday. He scored 23 points on an efficient 9-for-16 shooting and also went 3-for-4 from the free-throw line. Wiggins also added five rebounds, three assists and two three-pointers in his 36 minutes of action. With […]
Joe Ingles Scores 20 Points In Victory
Utah Jazz small forward Joe Ingles had another solid game in a win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday. He scored 20 points on an efficient 7-for-11 shooting and went 3-for-4 from the free-throw line. Ingles also contributed in other areas with fives assists, three rebounds and three three-pointers. It has been a great […]
Kent Bazemore Expected to Miss Several Weeks
Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Kent Bazemore (knee) is expected to miss "several weeks" with a bone bruise in his knee. He played just 12 minutes in Sunday's contest after he landed awkwardly and limped to the locker room. The Hawks have already rested Bazemore earlier in the season as a precaution. Atlanta is tanking for draft […]
James Harden Will Play on Monday
Houston Rockets guard James Harden (knee) will play against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday. He did not play in Sunday's contest against the Dallas Mavericks due to rest. It was a precautionary absence due to the back-to-back set, but Harden will be fine for Monday's contest. Eric Gordon stepped into the starting rotation for […]
Wesley Matthews Will Miss Road Trip
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (leg) will miss the upcoming four-game road trip. Matthews got bumped in Saturday's game and his leg "swelled up a bit" and the Mavs do not want to risk anything. The Mavs are tanking for draft positioning, so they can afford to let Matthews rest up. Yogi Ferrell, Doug McDermott, […]
Kyrie Irving Could Miss Games This Week
Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (knee) could miss a few games this week. He said after Sunday's game that his knee felt "achy" and he could need some time to rest up. Boston is up seven games on the Cavs for the No. 2 seed, so there is no urgency to have Irving on the […]
Dwyane Wade Ruled Out Monday
Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It's unclear when Wade suffered this injury, but he did only play 15 minutes in his last contest on Saturday. Hamstring injuries have a tendency to linger, so fantasy owners may not want to hold onto Wade […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/12/18): NBA DFS Lineups
There are not many games tonight and there is less value. Your best chance of coming away with some cash is to take your chance on one sleeper pick, while taking safer mid-level priced options. It isn't the prettiest slate of games from a DFS standpoint, especially with most of the teams playing Monday night […]
Eric Gordon Shines In Start
Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon made his 25th start of the year on Sunday against Dallas with James Harden (knee) out, scoring 26 points with six triples in 31 minutes. Gordon went 6-for-11 from deep in what was his fifth straight game shooting over 40 percent from downtown. He has been shooting pretty poorly […]
Darren Collison Has 10 Assists Off the Bench
Indiana Pacers point guard Darren Collison is quickly making strides in his timely return from left knee surgery, dishing out 10 assists and turning it over only three times in the thrilling win over the Boston Celtics, placing them first in the Central Division. He did not look for his shot Sunday, evidenced by his two […]
Jordan Clarkson Could Not Buy A Bucket
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Jordan Clarkson was quiet in his return to Los Angeles after being traded, managing just four points on a dismal 1-for-8 shooting from the field in the loss against his former team. He did have four assists but failed to contribute much elsewhere in 16 minutes of uninspired play. Even veteran point […]
Tim Hardaway Jr. Puts Up 25 in Loss
New York Knicks shooting guard/small forward Tim Hardaway Jr. continues to soak up the opportunity as the tanking Knicks first option on offense. Playing 38 minutes, he scored 25 points on 7-for-17 shooting. He lived at the stripe on Sunday, as he shot 9-for-10 from the free-throw line. His 47.5 percent shooting over the last […]
Rodney Hood Ruled Out Sunday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Rodney Hood (back) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He played just seven minutes versus the Clippers on Friday. Hood left due to a lower back strain and did not return to the contest. Hood could be headed towards a multiple-game absence, but an MRI was […]
James Harden Unlikely to Play Sunday
Houston Rockets guard James Harden (knee) is unlikely to suit up for Sunday's game against the Dallas Mavericks, according to Tim MacMahon. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so the Rockets probably do not need Harden to beat a struggling Mavs team. This is not likely anything serious, but the Rockets want to […]
Andre Iguodala is Questionable on Sunday
Golden State Warriors guard/forward Andre Iguodala (wrist) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He suffered the injury on Tuesday and has not played since then. Iggy has missed two straight games and is in danger of missing his third in a row. Omri Casspi and Nick Young have been seeing additional playing […]
Wilson Chandler is Probable on Sunday
Denver Nuggets guard/forward Wilson Chandler (hip) is probable to play against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday. He missed Friday's game against the Lakers but is listed as probable, so he could've been held out as a precaution. Chandler has dealt with hip issues in the past, so hopefully this injury does not linger. Will Barton […]
De'Aaron Fox is Questionable on Sunday
Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (back) is questionable to play against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday. He missed Friday's game due to a back issue but was energetic on the bench. This looks like just a minor issue for Fox, but the Kings are tanking, so they can afford to be cautious. Fantasy owners […]
Dennis Smith Jr. is Expected to Play Sunday
Dallas Mavericks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (knee) is expected to return on Sunday versus the Houston Rockets. The Mavs do not want Smith playing in back-to-back sets, so they held him out on Saturday against the struggling Grizzlies. Both J.J. Barea and Yogi Ferrell saw increased playing time and more opportunities without DSJ on the […]
Stephen Curry Ruled Out on Sunday
Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (ankle) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He did not travel with the team and was ruled out for both games during the road trip. The Warriors are going to be cautious with Curry and make sure he's 100 percent before letting him […]
Josh Richardson Goes Perfect From The Field Saturday
Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson did not miss a shot in the blowout win over the Washington Wizards Saturday. Richardson only played 21 minutes with the game well in hand, but scored 13 points on 6-for-6 shooting and contributed four assists and two steals. Teammate Dwyane Wade (hamstring) left Saturday's game with a mild hamstring […]
Bradley Beal And Rest Of Starters Struggle Saturday
Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal led all starters with only 14 points on 5-for-12 shooting Saturday against the Miami Heat. The Wizards were blown out in this one and no starter reached 30 minutes of playing time. John Wall (knee) has been ramping up his activity, but there is still no timetable for his […]
D.J. Augustin Scores 19 Points Against LA
Orlando Magic guard D.J. Augustin scored 19 points on 5-for-10 shooting from the field against Los Angeles on Saturday night. He did struggle from behind the arc, going 1-for-6 from that range and also had issues with ball control, turning it over four times in the loss to the playoff-hopeful Clippers. Despite flirting with the […]
