Dennis Schroder With Weak Performance

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder had a night to forget in his team's blowout loss to the Indiana Pacers. Schroder scored nine points on a dreadful 3-for-12 while adding two rebounds, two assists, a steal and four turnovers. His poor shooting and turnovers contributed heavily to his negative-21 plus/minus. He will look to bounce […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/23/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We're back to another huge Friday slate! We had six games last night to wet our whistles, but it's now time for a slate with double digit games. It seems as if most player's price tags dropped a bit from the All Star Break, which gives up a lot of good value, even if they […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds for Week 19

A little over 20 games remain in the NBA, once the league resumes from the All-Star break. More than likely you like (or hate) your fantasy basketball team and are searching the waiver wire for one of two things: either someone who comes on late from out of nowhere, or a gang of players to stream based […]

Dennis Schroder's Second-Half Season Outook

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder is currently averaging 19.5 points, 6.3 assists and 3.1 rebounds in 31.3 minutes per game. These are all either tied for career highs or career highs. He is playing the best he ever has and has an ultra-green light in terms of shooting. Seventeen field goal attempts a night […]

Taurean Prince's Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

Atlanta Hawks small forward Taurean Prince has been really up and down this season, as evidenced in a 31-point game and a zero-point game this year. The shots are there for him and so are the minutes, as he's averaging 30 minutes per game. Usually young guys see a slight uptick on tanking teams in the second […]

John Collins' Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

Atlanta Hawks power forward John Collins is one of the young guys with potential on the 18-41 Hawks team. The Hawks new season goal is doing the worst, which seems counterintuitive, but in today's NBA, tanking is seen as the way to get better. The Hawks will be looking to secure a top-five pick and […]

Three-Man Weave: Fantasy Basketball's Future

When the NBA resumes after the all-star break, the entire league will go from pause to a full sprint. While some teams jockey for playoff position, others will already begin planning for the offseason. It is here where fantasy basketball's future and present collide. Every year--like clockwork--NBA executives on losing teams make the decision to […]

Dewayne Dedmon's Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon has recently had some really solid games for the lowly Hawks. Unfortunately, the Hawks aren't fighting for anything but the No. 1 draft pick, so Dedmon's good play may not be a factor in his playing time as the season winds down. With young guys like John Collins and Tyler Cavanaugh […]

Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers: The All-Star Break

Hey y'all! We've reached the All-Star break, which means we don't have any basketball games again until next Thursday, unless you count the All-Star Game itself, which is technically basketball and technically will happen this week. Will this new format help the game? Probably not! We'll still see a final score somewhere in the 180-190 […]

John Collins Gets Double-Double In Extended Minutes

Atlanta Hawks forward/center John Collins scored 11 points while pulling down 10 rebounds in a loss to Detroit on Wednesday.

While Collins failed to truly make the most of the situation, his 30 […]

Dennis Schroder Won't Play Against Pistons

Kent Bazemore Ruled Out Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Kent Bazemore (rest) will not play against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. Dennis Schroder (back) and Ersan Ilyasova (shoulder) will be sidelined as well.

Ersan Ilyasova Ruled Out Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Ersan Ilyasova (shoulder) will not play against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. The Hawks will also be without Dennis Schroder (back) and Kent Bazemore (rest) against the Pistons. John Collins should see a significant amount of playing time without Ilyasova in the rotation. He'll be someone worth looking at in DFS on […]

It's time to get your NBA fix with the last big slate prior to the last All-Star Break lined up tonight. There doesn't appear to be a ton of injury news that will be coming throughout the day (there a few specific scenarios to watch listed below), but that can always rapidly change. The way […]

Ersan Ilyasova Couldn't Find His Shot

Atlanta Hawks power forward Ersan Ilyasova contributed 15 points, seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in the Hawks loss to the Bucks.

Dennis Schroder Racks Up Five Turnovers

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder paced his team with 18 points in their five-point loss to the Bucks. Schroder added three rebounds, four assists, a steal and five turnovers, which no fantasy owner likes to see. He continued his hot shooting, though, hitting eight of 16 from the floor in 31 minutes. Next up […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/13/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

This Tuesday slate is an ugly one with point guard and power forward standing out as particularly ugly positions to fill. The status of key Oklahoma City players Carmelo Anthony and Russell Westbrook will go a long way to clearing this slate up a bit, as Raymond Felton, Patrick Patterson, and Alex Abrines could potentially […]

Dennis Schroder Continues to Knock Shots Down

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder, who has never been known to shoot efficiently, has strung together two straight games -- and three of the last four -- with a 50 percent or greater field goal percentage. Schroder added 23 points, three rebounds, seven assists and two steals in the Hawks two-point victory over the […]

Dewayne Dedmon Gets Start and Flourishes

Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon was moved into the starting lineup for the Hawks tilt with the Pistons and performed admirably. Dedmon contributed 20 points, 13 rebounds, an assist, three steals and a block, recording his seventh double-double of the season. Maybe if the Hawks wanted to win, Dedmon would remain the starter, but winning […]

Dewayne Dedmon Will Start on Sunday

Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon will draw the start against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday. Miles Plumlee is expected to come off the bench behind him. Dedmon has struggled lately, but was playing well in the beginning of the month. The Hawks usually keep his minutes in the low 20s, so his fantasy value is […]

Taurean Prince Launches Threes to No Avail

Atlanta Hawks small forward Taurean Prince could not find his shot from deep in his team's blowout loss to the Cavaliers. Prince finished the game with 15 points, shooting 5-for-16 from the field, and missing all of his nine attempts from deep. Prince is still developing as an NBA player, and nights like these will […]

Dennis Schroder Leads Hawks in Scoring

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder bounced back on Friday night, going 10-for-19 from the field for 25 points in his team's 16-point loss to the short-handed Cavaliers. He also added five rebounds and four assists, but played five minutes less than his average, as he ended up sitting out at the end of the […]

Dennis Schroder is Probable Against Cavs

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder (back) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Schroder was dealing with a shoulder injury last week but did not miss a game. He is expected to stay in the lineup on Friday, but owners should check back closer to game time just in case. He […]

Kent Bazemore Has a Game to Forget

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Kent Bazemore shot an abysmal 3-for-11 from the field and missed all three of his attempts from behind the arc in his team's two-point loss to the Magic. He did manage to collect four rebounds and four assists while snagging a steal and two blocks, which helped his case, but when […]

Taurean Prince Efficient From the Field

Dennis Schroder Back to His Old Ways

Schroder went 5-for-15 from the field in his team's two-point loss and ended up finishing things out with 19 points, five rebounds, five assists and three turnovers. Schroder will look to find his shot against the new-look Cavaliers on Friday, a […]

Luke Babbitt Traded to Heat

The Miami Heat have acquired some depth and perimeter shooting with the acquisition of Luke Babbitt. Power forward Okaro White (foot) heads to the Atlanta Hawks, but he is still recovering from a left foot fracture. Babbitt could see a few extra minutes in Miami but should be left on the waiver wire. Once White […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/8/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Only six games tonight so we'll get right into it. Tonight's specimen of games is arguably one of the better slates this week. Last night was a bit of a dud for most players, and most of the teams playing tonight are high-scoring teams that sacrifice defense for pace, exactly what every DFS player wants. […]

Marco Belinelli Ruled Out Thursday

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Marco Belinelli will not travel with the team for their game against the Orlando Magic on Thursday. He was held out of Tuesday's game due to ongoing trade discussions. The trade deadline is Feb. 8, so Belinelli has likely played his last game with Atlanta. He'll likely be moved to a contender, […]

Taurean Prince Dreadful in Big Win

Atlanta Hawks small forward Taurean Prince had a game to forget in his team's blowout victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. Prince shot 1-for-8 from the field, missing all four of his three-point attempts, for a grand total of five points. He did manage to contribute two rebounds, three assists and a block, but a 1-for-8 […]
