Kelly Olynyk And Rodney McGruder Available Tuesday

Miami Heat forward/center Kelly Olynyk (shoulder) and guard Rodney McGruder (leg) are both available for Tuesday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Both are expected to come off the bench, but Olynyk will get limited minutes and it is unclear if McGruder will rejoin the rotation. Olynyk's return will take away minutes from big men […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/27/18): NBA DFS Lineups

Tuesday brings us another decent slate of six games, but be warned that most of the games tonight are in jeopardy of being blowouts. If there was one game to stack it's the Nuggets-Clippers. It's going to be a high-scoring contest and there is decent guard value spread out. Nikola Jokic, LeBron James, Joel Embiid, […]

Andrew Wiggins Scores 22 Points In Win

Minnesota Timberwolves small forward Andrew Wiggins had a solid scoring night in a win over the Sacramento Kings on Monday night. He scored 22 points on 8-for-15 shooting, while also going 5-for-6 from the free-throw line. Although Wiggins didn't contribute too much in other categories, adding just two assists, one steal, one block and one […]

Zach LaVine Will Start on Tuesday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (rest) will start against the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday. He was forced to miss the front end of the back-to-back set on Monday against Brooklyn. The Bulls have said they won't allow LaVine to play in back-to-back sets this season. He is fully expected to suit up for the second […]

Allen Crabbe Stays Hot In Win Over Bulls

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Allen Crabbe continued his torrid scoring pace as he led the Nets in scoring in their blowout victory over Chicago. Crabbe poured in 21 points on 13 shots and has been red-hot dating back to before the All-Star break. He is as hot and cold of a player in the league and it […]

James Harden Leads Houston In Points And Rebounds Against Jazz

Houston Rockets guard James Harden scored 26 points on 8-for-13 shooting on Monday night to lead the Rockets to a road win against the Utah Jazz. Playing in Utah on the second end of a back-to-back and with Eric Gordon and Clint Capela out, Houston's offense wasn't as effective as it is on some nights, […]

Wesley Matthews Vital In Mavs Win

Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Wesley Matthews helped to seal a 109-103 victory on Monday against Indiana with a late triple. He sank three treys overall on his way to 13 points. Matthews also provided some nice defensive stats in 32 minutes of action, getting a couple of steals and a block. He's been sharp from […]

Evan Fournier Drills Five Threes In Loss

Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier tied a team high, scoring 19 points in a loss to Oklahoma City on Monday. Fournier went 5-for-9 from distance and 6-for-15 overall. It was his seventh out of eight games scoring over 16 points and converting multiple threes. Fournier has been relatively consistent as of late, attempting between 12 […]

DeMar DeRozan Fills the Stat Sheet on Monday

Toronto Raptors shooting guard DeMar DeRozan kept his minute total under 30 again on Monday, as the Raptors destroyed the Pistons in the Air Canada Centre by nearly 30 points. DeRozan and Kyle Lowry led all scorers with 20 points each in this one, with Deebo going a healthy 5-for-9 from the field and a […]

Eric Gordon is Questionable on Monday

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon (illness) is considered questionable for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. Gordon did not practice on Saturday and sat out of Sunday's game versus the Denver Nuggets. Joe Johnson saw the biggest increase in playing time with Gordon sidelined. Johnson played 29 minutes on Sunday, but finished with just […]

Tyreke Evans Ruled Out on Monday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (ribs) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. An MRI revealed slight cartilage damage, but Evans is considered day-to-day. "We're not expecting it to be a long absence," coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. Andrew Harrison is expected to see a higher usage rate without Evans on the […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/26/18): NBA DFS Lineups

Since I have taken over the Monday and Tuesday Draftkings articles, we'll start strong. First off, stacking the Pelicans-Suns game will be your best bet, especially going in on Anthony Davis. The Pelicans are one of three teams on the second night of a back-to-back, the Pistons and Rockets being the others, but Davis is […]

James Harden Schools Nuggets In Win

Houston Rockets guard James Harden was incredible on Sunday, dropping 41 points on 11-for-20 shooting to go along with eight rebounds, seven assists and one steal in a 119-114 win over the Denver Nuggets. He also shot 6-for-10 from beyond the arc and 13-for-16 from the charity stripe to round out his stat line. Harden […]

J.J. Redick Can't Get it Going on Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard J.J. Redick was a non-factor on Sunday, finishing with six points in the contest, as a result of two makes from three-point land against the Wizards. Redick added one rebound, four assists and one steal in this one, to go along with three turnovers in his 29 minutes. Redick has been […]

Marco Belinelli Chips in 10 Points Off the Bench

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Marco Belinelli was somewhat effective off the bench for his new team on Sunday, scoring 10 points on a lackluster 3-for-10 from the field while connecting twice from downtown in the loss to Washington. Belinelli added three rebounds and one steal to his totals while committing one turnover as well. Ersan […]

Will Barton Plays Very Efficiently Sunday

Denver Nuggets shooting guard Will Barton played very well in the game Sunday against the Houston Rockets. Barton scored 25 points, shooting 10-for-15 from the floor, with three of those made buckets coming from downtown. Barton also had seven rebounds, six assists and three steals. In the month of February, Barton has done fairly well, […]

Danny Green Scores 22 Points Off the Bench

San Antonio Spurs shooting guard Danny Green had to settle for a bench role in Sunday's road win over Cleveland, but he didn't let that affect his game, as he scored 22 points in 23 minutes. Green shot 6-for-11 and made five of his nine treys after missing Friday's loss to Denver with food poisoning. […]

Joe Ingles Fills The Stat Sheet In Win

Utah Jazz small forward Joe Ingles had a solid all-around game against the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night. He didn't shoot particularly well, scoring just 12 points on 4-for-12 shooting. However, Ingles chipped in eight assists, four rebounds, two three-pointers, two steals and two blocks. While Ingles' hot shooting may be coming back down to […]

Paul George Ice-Cold In Loss To The Warriors

Oklahoma City small forward Paul George was atrocious from the field against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night. He shot a putrid 1-for-14 from the field and didn't do much else to make up for his frigid shooting. George added just five rebounds, three assists and two steals to his line. It was a […]

Danny Green Will Play on Sunday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Danny Green (illness) will play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday. He was listed as probable before the game, but it sounds like he'll be good to go against the Cavs. He missed Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets due to food poisoning. Bryn Forbes, Patty Mills and Derrick White will go back […]

Manu Ginobili Ruled Out Sunday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Manu Ginobili (chest) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The injury is not serious, but it does not take much for the 40-year-old to be sidelined. Bryn Forbes and Patty Mills will split up Ginobili's minutes, but that is only roughly 15 to 20 minutes of […]

Avery Bradley Out 1-3 Weeks

Los Angeles Clippers guard Avery Bradley (groin) will miss the next one to three weeks of action. Head coach Doc Rivers does not know exactly when Bradley will return, but said he'll out be "a while." Milos Teodosic, Tyrone Wallace and Austin Rivers will split the minutes with Bradley sidelined. Teodosic and Rivers are worth […]

Zach LaVine Won't Play in Back-to-Back Sets

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) will not play in back-to-back sets for the reminder of the season. The Bulls will continue to be cautious with LaVine as his knee recovers. This move also improves the chances of the Bulls landing a higher pick in the upcoming draft. The Bulls have four more back-to-back sets, […]

Eric Bledsoe is Probable for Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe (wrist) is probable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Head coach Joe Prunty is listing Bledsoe as probable, but he is technically a game-time call for Sunday. He's expected to be out there barring any setbacks during warmups. Owners should check back before tip-off, but Bledsoe is expected […]

Eric Gordon is Doubtful for Sunday

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon (illness) is considered doubtful for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Gordon was unable to practice on Saturday and was forced to miss Friday's game with the same illness. P.J. Tucker, Luc Mbah a Moute and Joe Johnson would see additional playing time if Gordon is sidelined on Sunday. […]

Yogi Ferrell Shines in Loss to Jazz

Dallas Mavericks guard Yogi Ferrell provided a good spark off the bench in Saturday's loss to Utah, finishing with 13 points on 5-for-11 shooting, and even ending up leading the team with 35 minutes on the floor. Ferrell, who shot 3-for-6 from deep, also recorded five rebounds and four assists. He finished scoreless in the […]

Andrew Harrison Scores Team-Leading 17 Points

Memphis Grizzlies guard Andrew Harrison ended up as the team's leading scorer in Saturday's 115-89 loss to Miami, finishing with 17 points on 7-for-13 shooting. Marc Gasol (rest) and Tyreke Evans (ribs) didn't play, which helped increase Harrison's usage rate and points tally. He also had six assists and four rebounds in 28 minutes of […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/25/18): NBA DFS Lineups

There are a few games today, but DraftKings broke them up into two different slates. This article will be focusing around the games at 8 PM, as that is seen as the "featured" slate on DraftKings. There will be limited options, so I'll be trying to find some values and top plays here. In this […]

Jimmy Butler Could Return For Playoffs

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard Jimmy Butler (knee) will be out for the remainder of the regular season. Butler suffered a meniscus injury in his right knee during Friday’s loss to the Houston Rockets, but he could potentially return in time for the playoffs. For fantasy owners, this is not good news. While he is out, look […]

J.J. Redick Shoots the Ball Much Better on Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard J.J. Redick recovered from his poor shooting night on Thursday with a much more efficient game against the Magic on Saturday. Redick shot a mighty fine 6-for-8 from the field in this one, scoring 16 points with one three-pointer made, as well as going 3-for-3 from the free throw line. He […]
