J.R. Smith Out Thursday Due To Suspension

Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard J.R. Smith (suspension) will sit out Thursday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Cavs have suspended Smith due to conduct detrimental to the team and will serve the one-game suspension Thursday night. In Smith's absence, sharpshooter Rodney Hood will start. Hood will be a great value play for Thursday night's […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/1/18): NBA DFS Lineups

It's Thursday and the league will feature a four game slate filled with some decent games. If you factor in the limited amount of options, there isn't much room for error. Due to the slow projected pace of the Minnesota/Portland game, I am omitting anyone from that matchup. In this article, I will be providing you with […]

Corey Brewer Committed to Thunder

Free-agent guard/forward Corey Brewer has committed to join the Oklahoma City Thunder once he clears waivers.

Brewer has made up his mind after speaking with Thunder head coach Billy Donovan and general manager Sam Presti. Brewer […]

Tyler Johnson Ruled Out Against Lakers

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Johnson and Wayne Ellington (quadriceps) will be sidelined for this contest but are considered day-to-day. Goran Dragic and Josh Richardson are going to see heavy minutes on Thursday. Dwyane Wade will likely be busy off the bench […]

Wayne Ellington Ruled Out Thursday

Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (quadriceps) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Goran Dragic and Josh Richardson are going to be locked into heavy minutes. Tyler Johnson (quadriceps) will also join Ellington on the sidelines for Thursday's contest. Dwyane Wade likely won't start but will be busy off the […]

Josh Hart Could Miss Rest of the Season

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Josh Hart (hand) is traveling back to Los Angeles to get his hand examined. That means Hart is officially out for Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. Lonzo Ball is expected to draw the start at point guard and play roughly 30 minutes. Hart needs to decide whether or not to […]

Avery Bradley Could Miss Rest of The Season

Los Angeles Clippers guard Avery Bradley (groin) could miss the rest of the season. "Right now, we're just taking it day by day, trying to be smart about this injury," Bradley said. Head coach Doc Rivers recently said Bradley may need to have offseason surgery. Bradley has missed four straight games and it's looking like […]

James Harden Leads Rockets In Scoring Against Clippers

Houston Rockets guard James Harden scored 25 points on Wednesday night, including a three-pointer that featured Wesley Johnson falling down followed by Harden stepping back and waiting a few seconds before taking the shot, as the Rockets beat the Clippers. Harden went seven of 14 from the field and added seven assists and three rebounds. […]

Manu Ginobili Rolls Back the Years on Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Manu Ginobili finished February off in style, dropping 17 points on the Pelicans in 20 minutes off the bench. The 40-year-old made only one of his four attempts from deep, but shot well overall by going 7-for-13, and was deadly with his drives to the rim. However, it was only his […]

Evan Fournier Knocks Down Three Threes In Loss

Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier scored 17 points in a loss to Toronto on Wednesday. Fournier was 6-for-15 from the field and 3-for-8 from beyond the arc. He has made at least two threes in seven of his last eight games. Unfortunately, that's all of Fournier's value lately. He has scored over 20 points just […]

E'Twaun Moore Scores 17 Points Versus Spurs

New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard E'Twaun Moore, who started off February with a 26-point game at OKC, also ended the month with a nice outing, recording 17 points against the Spurs. He led the team in minutes with 38 and shot 7-for-15 from the floor. Moore ended up hitting over 40 percent of his treys […]

Devin Booker Stays Hot With 34 Points

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker kept it rolling with 34 points against the Memphis Grizzlies. Booker added six rebounds, one assist, three steals and one make from downtown but did shoot only 12 of 29 from the floor. Booker has put up 28.3 shots a game in his last three outings and has averaged 34.7 […]

Josh Jackson Fills Up The Stat Sheet

Phoenix Sun guard/forward Josh Jackson took full advantage of his starting spot in a 110-102 win over the lowly Memphis Grizzlies. Jackson finished the night with a career-high 29 points on an efficient nine of 16 from the floor to go along with seven rebounds, four assists and one make from downtown. He not only dominated […]

Bradley Beal Locked Down in Loss

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal had quite the off night against the high-powered Warriors on Wednesday. He shot a disastrous 20 percent from the field for a whopping eight points. He did add four rebounds, five assists and a steal, which was good, but his five turnovers really killed his team's chances. The Wizards […]

T.J. Warren Out Wednesday

Phoenix Suns forward T.J. Warren (tailbone) will sit out Wednesday night against the Memphis Grizzlies. Warren injured his tailbone near the end of Monday night's game against the New Orleans Pelicans and was considered questionable coming into Wednesday. However, the Suns have nothing to play for, so it's wise to rest Warren. In his absence, […]

Malcolm Delaney Available To Play Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Malcolm Delaney (knee) will be available Wednesday night against the Indiana Pacers after being a game-time decision with a knee injury. Delaney will likely resume his usual 20-minute role off the bench backing up point guard Dennis Schroder, while guard Isaiah Taylor will lose minutes in the second unit. However, neither Delaney nor […]

Cody Zeller And Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Out Wednesday

The Charlotte Hornets will be without Cody Zeller (knee) and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (hamstring) Wednesday night against the Boston Celtics. Both Zeller and Kidd-Gilchrist got banged up in Tuesday's win over the Chicago Bulls and won't be able to play. Dwight Howard (rib) will have an opportunity to play big minutes in the front court without […]

Tony Snell Ruled Out Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Tony Snell (thigh) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Snell has been playing heavy minutes lately, so hopefully this is not a long-term injury. The severity of the injury is not known, so Snell could be out multiple games. Sterling Brown and Jason Terry will see extended […]

Corey Brewer Reaches Buyout with Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers have reportedly reached a buyout agreement with guard/forward Corey Brewer. Assuming he clears waivers, he'll be able to sign with any club of his choosing. It'll likely be a playoff-bound team, but that does not guarantee his value will increase much. According to Adrian Wojnarowski, Brewer is seriously considering reuniting with […]

Malcolm Delaney is Questionable on Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Malcolm Delaney (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Head coach Mike Budenholzer wants Delaney to go through his pre-game routine, so he's likely headed towards a game-time decision. Owners will have to wait until pregame for official confirmation on his status. He's missed two straight games but does […]

Tyreke Evans Ruled Out Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (ribs) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. This will mark the third straight game on the sidelines for Evans. An MRI revealed slight cartilage damage, but the team is considering Evans day-to-day. Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said he was not expecting it to be a […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/28/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a nine game NBA slate to get us through this hump day 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. […]

Nicolas Batum Struggles To Find His Shot

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Nicolas Batum was 3-for-10 for 10 points in a win against Chicago on Tuesday. Luckily for his owners, Batum has really rounded into form and found other ways to fill the stat sheet. Against Chicago, Batum led the team in assists (12) and rebounds (seven). When his shot is on, Batum is […]

Gary Harris Scores 23 Points In Loss

Denver Nuggets shooting guard Gary Harris had a bounce-back game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night. Harris scored 23 points on his usually pristine efficiency, going 7-for-13 from the field and 4-for-4 from the foul line. He rounded out his line with four three-pointers, three steals and two rebounds in 38 minutes. Harris' […]

Shabazz Napier Drops 20 Points Off The Bench

Portland Trail Blazers guard Shabazz Napier had himself a very efficient game off the bench in a win over the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night. He scored 20 points on 6-for-7 shooting with four three-pointers in just 21 minutes of action. Napier was due for a game like this, as he was shooting an inconceivable […]

J.J. Redick Has a Rough Shooting Night in Miami

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard J.J. Redick scored 15 points with two made three-pointers on Tuesday, but hurt owners along the way, shooting a pathetic 4-for-14 from the field against the Heat. Redick added three rebounds, four assists and a steal to his line, but also couldn't hold onto the basketball, as he racked up five turnovers on […]

Marco Belinelli Stays Hot Off Philly's Bench

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Marco Belinelli kept producing for the Sixers second unit on Tuesday, scoring 13 points off the bench on 4-for-8 shooting, including two makes from three-point land in the loss to Miami. Belinelli isn't known for his supporting stats and this game was no different, as he added only two assists and one […]

C.J. McCollum Quiet In Win

Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum couldn't get it going on Tuesday, shooting just 5-for-18 from the field for only 11 points. He also didn't hit a single three-pointer and also committed four turnovers, as owners were expecting a much better performance against a Kings team that ranks second to last in team defensive efficiency. This […]

Buddy Hield Cold From Field

Sacramento Kings guard Buddy Hield was contained in a 99-116 matchup against the Blazers, mustering just six points on 2-for-11 from the field. Hield didn't add much aside from pulling down five boards and two blocks. This was the second night of a back-to-back after all, so we'd give him a pass and blame it […]

Dwyane Wade Finishes Comeback With Game-Winner

Miami Heat shooting guard Dwyane Wade turned back the clock Tuesday night, leading Miami to a one-point win over the Philadelphia 76ers. Father Prime hit a step-back game-winning jumper in the final seconds to finish with a game-high 27 points on 10-for-16 shooting in 25 minutes. Wade rounded out his full line with three steals, […]
