Greg Monroe Signed by The Celtics off Waivers

The Boston Celtics have agreed to sign center Greg Monroe after the Phoenix Suns decided to buy him out of his contract. The Celtics, who have been looking for a scoring punch off the bench, will turn to Monroe. He might end up nabbing some starts if he can outplay Aron Baynes, but the Celtics […]

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

The Super Bowl can wait, right? We've got an awesome few days of basketball before we shift our attention to the big game. Tonight's nine game slate is a pretty attractive one, with fairly high projected point totals across the board. A big slate with few or no "avoid games" makes things much more interesting, […]

Terry Rozier Posts Triple-Double Wednesday

Boston Celtics point guard Terry Rozier got the start on Wednesday with Kyrie Irving sitting out and responded by posting a triple-double. Rozier dropped 17 points on 6-for-14 shooting while recording 11 rebounds and 10 assists. His two steals and two blocks were nice, too. Rozier has gained the trust of head coach Brad Stevens […]

Marcus Morris Scores 20 Points Before Taking Hard Fall

Boston Celtics power forward Marcus Morris came off the bench and scored 20 points on Wednesday. He did so in just 19 minutes, but with Kyrie Irving sitting out, the Celtics were in desperate need of scoring. Morris canned both of his three-point attempts and shot 6-for-9 from the field as well as at the […]

Shane Larkin Will Play Wednesday

Boston Celtics point guard Shane Larkin (knee) is available against the New York Knicks on Wednesday night. Larkin is battling a sore knee but will give it a go and back up Terry Rozier. Rozier is making his first career start with Kyrie Irving (thigh) and Marcus Smart (hand) out of the lineup. With Larkin […]

Shane Larkin Questionable on Wednesday

Boston Celtics point guard Shane Larkin (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest against the New York Knicks. His playing status is usually irrelevant, but Marcus Smart (hand) and Kyrie Irving (quadriceps) have been ruled out Wednesday. Terry Rozier will be looking at heavy minutes if Larkin is unavailable as well. Otherwise, the two […]

Kyrie Irving Ruled Out Against Knicks

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (quadriceps) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. He'll join Marcus Smart (hand) on the sidelines, which could mean heavy minutes for Terry Rozier. The absence of Irving will make Rozier a favorable target in DFS. Al Horford, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum will see […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds for Week 16

The first big move ahead of the trade deadline rocked the NBA on Monday, when Blake Griffin was traded to the Pistons. Luckily for fantasy basketball owners, it shouldn't do much to the primary names involved. Griffin will still be the main option in Detroit, and Tobias Harris should continue to get the looks he became […]

Jayson Tatum Scores 20 Points In Win Over Denver

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum had a nice night on Monday as the Celtics took care of business in Denver. Tatum had 20 points on 8-for-13 shooting to go with his nice line of six rebounds, four assists and a block. Tatum’s hot start to the season has given way to some inconsistencies. The talent […]

Kyrie Irving is Hyper-Efficient in Denver

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving was hyper-efficient on Monday as he and the Celtics dispatched the Nuggets on the road. He went 11-for-17 from the field and 2-for-4 from downtown for 27 points and dished six assists. Irving, who has always played with a score-first mentality, has made a concerted effort all season to […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/29/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

I wouldn't dare open with "happy Monday!", but let us celebrate this nice little six game slate on the 29th of January. It's something to look forward to, and I'll help you prepare. The Monday night slate is the only thing that gets me through the cubicle life, and it's extra pleasant when the slate […]

Terry Rozier is Questionable on Monday

Boston Celtics guard Terry Rozier (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The Celtics recalled Kadeem Allen from the G-League to add extra depth. Marcus Smart (hand) is expected to miss multiple weeks, so Rozier actually has fantasy value right now. Shane Larkin would see increased minutes if Rozier is unable to […]

Week 16 Fantasy Basketball - Waiver Wire and Buy/Sell

Week 15 was absolutely devastating to some owners, as the biggest news this week was the season-ending injury to New Orleans Pelicans center DeMarcus Cousins (torn Achilles tendon). It's a crushing blow for owners who own Boogie, one of the most dominant players in fantasy hoops. There's just no silver living at all whatsoever, as […]

Kyrie Irving Battles it Out With Steph Curry in Tough Loss

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving had a hard time missing on Saturday, scoring a team-high 37 points on a nasty 13-for-17 from the field, shooting 5-for-5 from beyond the arc. Irving did most of his damage on the scoring end in Oakland but helped out with two boards, four assists and one steal in […]

Al Horford Stuffs the Stat Sheet on Saturday

Boston Celtics power forward/center Al Horford had a strong showing against the Warriors in Oakland, posting a double-double in 34 minutes on Saturday. Horford shot 6-for-15 from the field, scoring 15 points on the night with two three-pointers made. Horford was a force on the glass in Oracle Arena, pulling down a game-high 13 rebounds […]

Jaylen Brown Has a Great Night Scoring the Ball

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown was feeling it against the Warriors on Saturday, shooting 6-for-9 from the field, to finish with 20 points, including three triples in his 34 minutes. Brown didn't contribute much else, however, adding just two rebounds while committing just as many turnovers in this one. He's really come out to play […]

Jayson Tatum Disappears Against the Warriors

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum couldn't get it going against the Dubs in Oakland on Saturday, scoring just four points on a very poor 2-for-9 from the field. Tatum's only redeeming stats in this one came in the rebounding column, picking up five boards on the night, with one steal as well in his 28 […]

Marcus Morris Keeps Getting Buckets on Saturday

Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris was solid again on Saturday, scoring 12 points on 5-for-15 shooting, including one trey in his 32 minutes. Morris was rebounding the ball well in this one as well, hauling down eight boards in the loss. He didn't do much else, but added two assists and one steal for good […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/27/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

One thing to notice about today's slate is the amount of games that are lined up to be high-scoring affairs. The Celtics, Thunder, and Mavericks are all slower-paced teams that are facing potent offenses that are capable of piling on points quickly. The Pistons will still be in for a challenge and the Mavericks will […]

Marcus Smart Out Two Weeks

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (hand) has been ruled out for at least the next two weeks. He suffered a hand laceration when he cut himself on glass at the team hotel. He did not play on Wednesday and was listed as day-to-day. That is not the case and Smart will be sidelined for at […]

Kyrie Irving Cools Down but Gets the Win in LA

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving took a step down from his atmospheric offensive production that he had on Wednesday night against the Clippers. He still scored 20 points, but after posting 40 and 33 points in his previous two games, the decrease was still significant. It continues the unfortunate trend for fantasy managers where […]

NBA Injuries and Who Can Benefit Instead (Week 15)

We're approaching crunch time in fantasy. And just like that, it's Week 15, as you must do anything possible to make the playoffs. Once you get there, it's an entirely different ball game. Holding onto injured players with little upside is likely a bad move at this point. The injury bug has been real this […]

Al Horford Posts Double-Double

Boston Celtics power forward/center Al Horford put up a nice double-double on Tuesday against the Lakers. He was one of two starters to post double-digit scoring with 13 points to go with his 12 boards. He also filled out his line with six assists and two blocks. He has been relatively quiet thus far in […]

Kyrie Irving Follows up His 40 Spot with 33 Points

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving was scoring at will on Tuesday night as he dropped 33 points against the Los Angeles Lakers. He also grabbed three rebounds and assisted on four baskets.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/23/18): NBA DFS Lineups

What a crazy night that was last night. My top tournament lineup scored 398 DraftKings points, which would be more than enough to take the top spot on most nights. Unfortunately, I was still 162 spots away from that big win. Regardless, it was a good night overall for me, so let's get on a […]

Marcus Morris Draws the Start and Scores 12 Points

Boston Celtics power forward Marcus Morris was moved into the starting lineup on Sunday and scored 12 points. He has been anchoring the bench unit, but as the Celtics often find themselves playing catch-up, head coach Brad Stevens was likely looking for more scoring potency. Unfortunately, Morris couldn’t take full advantage, as he shot 0-for-3 […]
