DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/29/20): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Tuesday, Rotoballers! We're already a week into the 2020-21 season, and it's great to have the NBA back on our screens.

Caris LeVert Takes 29 Shots In Loss

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert wound up starting at point guard with Kyrie Irving (rest) and Spencer Dinwiddie (knee) out on Monday. Dinwiddie is done for the season, so we'll likely see LeVert manning the backup point guard role most nights, with the occasional start when Irving is unavailable. If Monday is any indication, fantasy […]

Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot Has Nice Showing Against Memphis

Brooklyn Nets forward Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot got a surprise start on Monday against Memphis with both Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant resting.

Kyrie Irving Will Rest On Monday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (rest) will not suit up for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Both Irving and Kevin Durant (rest) will be watching from the sideline in this one. Caris Levert should see a significant boost in fantasy value and be a popular DFS option. Tyler Johnson and Taurean Prince could make […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Leaves Game With Knee Strain

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie (knee) will not return Sunday against the Charlotte Hornets after suffering a right knee strain.

Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard Spencer Dinwiddie will start at the two-guard spot for Tuesday's season opener versus Golden State with Caris Levert set to come off the bench.
