Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot Will Miss Tuesday’s Contest
Brooklyn Nets small/power forward Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Kings due to a hip contusion, marking his first absence of the year. It's unclear how head coach Steve Nash could reallocate Luwawu-Cabarrot's workload, but Iman Shumpert and Noah Vonleh stand to benefit. Drawing DFS appeal primarily when absences […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/23/21): NBA DFS Lineups
Happy Tuesday, RotoBallers! I thought the NBA was treating us to an early Valentine's Day gift two weeks ago with seven games on a Tuesday. That's been blown out of the water today with nine games on the docket. We will have games going back and forth the entire evening, and it's going to be […]

We have our largest Tuesday slate since I started doing these FanDuel writeups on Tuesday. We have nine games and tons of stars that might be available tonight. Dallas, Portland, and Washington are playing the second night of a back-to-back. I doubt we see Dame or Luka sit, but this is the NBA. You never […]
Jeff Green, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot Questionable For Tuesday
Brooklyn Nets power forward/center Jeff Green (shoulder) and small/power forward Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (hip) have both been deemed questionable to take the floor Tuesday against the Kings. Neither player has missed a game yet this season, with both playing vital roles primarily with the second unit. Bruce Brown would presumably see an increased offensive role should […]
James Harden Scores 37 Points Against Clippers
Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden scored 37 points on 13-for-25 shooting in Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. In addition, he grabbed 11 rebounds and dished out seven assists. Harden was 4-for-9 from three and also posted two steals. He'll face the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday, who allow opponents to shoot the second-highest percentage […]
Jeff Green Suffers Shoulder Injury Against Clippers
Brooklyn Nets forward Jeff Green suffered a shoulder contusion on Sunday after colliding with a Patrick Beverley screen. He'll be evaluated further on Monday. Green had five points on 2-for-6 shooting in 34 minutes of play, with one rebound and one steal. If he misses time, Bruce Brown should see an uptick in minutes, though […]
Nicolas Claxton Available On Sunday Night
Brooklyn Nets forward Nicolas Claxton (knee) is available to play on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. This is excellent news, primarily since the team is lacking size underneath the basket. However, on the fantasy end, the 21-year-old probably won't do much as he will likely face a minutes cap in his first game […]
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/21/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
As the weekend, unfortunately, comes to a close, FanDuel has seven games on its “Main Slate,” which will help open things up a bit more after only five contests took place on Saturday. While the schedule was limited, we were still treated to some strong fantasy outings from many. In Portland, Damian Lillard came through […]
Nicolas Claxton Trending In The Right Direction
Brooklyn Nets forward Nicolas Claxton (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. Although there is still a good chance he won't play, Saturday's status on the league's official injury report was an encouraging sign. The 21-year-old, who hasn't played a game this year, averaged 4.4 points throughout 12.4 minutes […]
Kevin Durant Ruled Out Versus Clippers
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This marks the fourth game in a row that Durant has missed due to a hamstring issue. The team is likely being extra cautious here with their superstar forward. Durant has been doing some work during practices, […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball (2/20/21) Picks: NBA DFS Lineups
We have a typical short Saturday slate tonight on DraftKings with five games on the schedule. It sets up to be an explosive slate, though, since WAS, GS, and POR rank in the bottom-six in DK points per game allowed and four-of-five games have implied totals over 224.5 points. WAS/POR sets up as the clear spotlight […]

James Harden Has Double-Double In Win Over Lakers
Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden had a very efficient outing in Thursday's marquee matchup against the Lakers, notching a 23-point, 11-assist double-double while shooting 7-for-15 from the field and 6-for-7 at the line with only one turnover in 38 minutes. He went 3-for-7 from deep and added five rebounds, two steals, and one block. Harden […]
Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot Cleared To Play On Thursday
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (knee) is available to play on Thursday against the Lakers. The 25-year-old has dealt with soreness in his right knee, but he has managed to play through it. However, with an average of just over seven points per outing and a potential minutes cap, he should be considered a dart […]
Kyrie Irving Officially Active Against Lakers
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (back) will play on Thursday night against the Lakers. The veteran had the night off on Tuesday while he dealt with tightness in his lower back, which opened the door for James Harden to monopolize the offense against the Suns. With Kevin Durant (hamstring) still out of the equation, Irving […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/18/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
We’re down to just a three-game slate Thursday, which makes it a particularly interesting night for lineup-building in DFS. Since we’re working with a much more condensed player pool, pulling the trigger on the right high-salaried players and being just as prudent with value selections are key to success. The good news from a DFS […]
Kyrie Irving Listed As Probable Against Lakers
Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving (back) is probable to play Thursday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Irving missed the second night of a back-to-back on Monday, but appears on track to play Thursday after dealing with a sore back. Irving's return would push Tyler Johnson back to the bench and take some shot attempts […]
Kevin Durant Out Again Thursday
Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (hamstring) will miss his third straight game Thursday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Durant is dealing with a mild hamstring strain and the team will likely take a very conservative approach with their star's recovery. Durant was already slated to miss two games and being ruled out over a day […]
Jeff Green Records 18 Points And Eight Rebounds
Brooklyn Nets forward Jeff Green had a solid game in his team's huge comeback victory over Phoenix on Tuesday.

Kyrie Irving Ruled Out Versus Suns
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He is reportedly dealing with some minor back tightness, but the Nets aren't going to take any chances. Irving dropped 40 points on Monday, so possibly the fact it's a back-to-back set is part of the reason he's […]
Kyrie Irving Drops Season-High 40 Points Against Kings
Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving was simply on fire in the team's 136-122 win over the Sacramento Kings on Monday night.
