Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds For Week 23: Trendon Watford, Xavier Tillman Sr., Nick Richards

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Uncertain For Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (shoulder) is considered questionable for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Oubre was forced to exit early on Thursday due to a shoulder injury. He didn't return to the game and it appears the left shoulder issue is still bothering him. His absence would mean increased minutes for Gordon […]

Terry Rozier Unlikely To Play On Friday

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (foot) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The veteran guard exited early on Thursday due to right foot discomfort. At this point, it seems unlikely that the Hornets are going to push Rozier back on the court considering they aren't in the playoff hunt anyway. […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/24/23): NBA DFS Lineups

It's a war of attrition in the NBA this time of year. Teams are missing players due to injury or are resting star players down the stretch. This is officially the "Silly Season" of the NBA schedule as in the final few weeks things always tend to get a little bit weird. Players you haven't […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Pulled Early On Thursday

Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (illness) was removed early during Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

However, he didn't […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Won't Return On Thursday

Charlotte Hornets forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. More bad news for the Hornets with Terry Rozier (foot) exiting early during this game. Now, Oubre leaves after 12 minutes due to a left shoulder strain. The Hornets don't have any reason […]

Terry Rozier Doubtful To Return On Thursday

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (foot) is considered doubtful to return for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He was only able to play 10 minutes before exiting due to right foot discomfort. There's a good chance that the Hornets decide to hold out Rozier for the rest of the night. Dennis Smith Jr. […]

Mark Williams Remains Out On Thursday

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (thumb) won't feature Thursday against the Pelicans. He sprained his right thumb a couple of weeks ago and it's robbed him of five games already. Williams has put in a number of impressive performances after Mason Plumlee was shipped off to Los Angeles. With him out, Nick Richards has assumed […]

Nick Richards Signs Extension

Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards has signed an extension with the organization. The two sides have agreed to a two-year extension worth $15 million.

Nick Richards Bounces Back On Monday

Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards posted a nice 14-point, 17-rebound double-double as the team beat Indiana on Monday 115-109. The Pacers have an intimidating figure in the paint in Myles Turner, but the team has struggled against centers all season and Richards also took advantage of the situation, bouncing back well from a nightmare he […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Expected To Play On Tuesday

Charlotte Hornets forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (back) was forced to miss their game on Sunday with back discomfort but is now listed as probable for their contest on Tuesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The good news is that the injury wasn't in his wrist that kept him out for a lot of this season. Hopefully, […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Sidelined Against Cleveland

Charlotte Hornets forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (back) won't suit up for Sunday's clash with Cleveland. The 24-year-old scored a team-high 24 points in 36 minutes against the Utah Jazz on Saturday. However, he's now out with back discomfort, although he may just be getting the evening off. As a result, Dennis Smith Jr. will take […]
