DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/3/21): NBA DFS Lineups

When the Houston Rockets dealt James Harden to Brooklyn earlier this season, they knew that today, March 3, 2021, would come. Harden is back in the city where he became a mega-star and the team’s decision to announce his number retirement at a future date Tuesday should make for quite the occasion. All of which […]

Gordon Hayward, Cody Zeller Questionable For Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets small/power forward Gordon Hayward (hand) and center Cody Zeller (hip) have been tagged as questionable to play in Wednesday's game versus Minnesota. Hayward has missed each of Charlotte's past two outings due to a hand ailment, while Zeller has missed three games in a row with hip issues. Cody Martin and Bismack Biyombo […]

LaMelo Ball Scores 30 Points With Full Line

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball played one of his better all-around games of the season in Monday's loss to Portland. Ball scored 30 points with eight assists, six rebounds, five treys, four steals, and a block in 32 minutes. The 19-year-old has looked like a veteran this season, as he earned the postgame praise of […]

Gordon Hayward Likely To Miss Another Game

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hand) is listed as doubtful for Monday's matchup against Portland. The veteran didn't suit up on Sunday against Sacramento, and with the All-Star break right around the corner, it wouldn't be a surprise if he didn't play on Wednesday against Minnesota. With the Hornets also without a few other key […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 11

It's time for the weirdest week of the season: All-Star week! Because of the All-Star Game, Week 11 is essentially two weeks, but with a big gap in the middle. That alters some things in terms of how to deal with your lineups, as teams play a pretty disparate amount of games this week. Check […]

Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers - Week 11

We have finally made it to the All-Star break and with that looming next week, we have a two-week match up for fantasy. The two weeks leave a ton of streaming potential in lineups while also adding some additional acquisitions. There are three teams with six games over the next two weeks: the New Orleans […]

LaMelo Ball Delivers Career-High 12 Assists

Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball handed out a career-high 12 assists in Sunday's win over Sacramento, adding 24 points, four rebounds, and one block with four turnovers in 39 minutes. He shot 7-for-12 from the field and was very busy at the charity stripe with a 9-for-10 record. Ball was in very good form […]

P.J. Washington Goes Off For Career-High 42 Points

Charlotte Hornets power forward P.J. Washington had the game of his life on Sunday against Sacramento, finishing a 127-126 win with a career-high 42 points on 15-for-23 shooting. He was 5-for-8 from downtown and 7-for-7 at the line, adding nine rebounds, two assists, two steals, and two blocks. Kings games are always great to target […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for Monday (3/1/21) - Monkey Knife Fight

Not a huge Monday slate with seven games scheduled, and out-of-conference games don't exactly increase the appeal. Right before the All-Star Break, players who have been unavailable most of the season are trying to make the most of their minutes, for example Evan Fournier and Justise Winslow. While superstars are arguably easing their workload in […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (3/1/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

There are seven games on tap Monday night, an amount some DFS players would argue is the ideal number with which to build both cash game and tournament lineups.

Gordon Hayward Downgraded Against Sacramento

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hand) has been downgraded to doubtful leading up to Sunday's outing against the Sacramento Kings. While the injury doesn't appear to be serious, it wouldn't be a surprise if the veteran's absence extends beyond the upcoming All-Star break. In his place, look for Malik Monk, who had 25 points off […]

Cody Zeller Likely To Miss Another One

Charlotte Hornets forward Cody Zeller (hip) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup with Sacramento. The veteran appears to be on the path to miss his second-straight outing as he continues to work his way back from a left hip contusion. With Zeller likely to sit, look for P.J. Washington to get the start […]

Devonte' Graham To Miss Another Game Sunday

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham (knee) will miss his fifth straight game with soreness in his left knee. Graham's absence has resulted in more usage for Terry Rozier and LaMelo Ball, who have both played great basketball in February. Rozier and Ball make for good DFS plays against the Kings' awful defense on Sunday night. […]

Gordon Hayward Probable, Cody Zeller Questionable For Sunday

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hand) has been listed as probable, while center Cody Zeller (hip) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings.

Washington compiled 15 points with 10 rebounds, four assists, four steals, and two triples in 29 minutes. He hasn't had a good month rebounding the basketball, so it was nice to see him bounce back with […]

Cody Zeller Ruled Out Against Warriors

Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller (hip) will not play Friday against the Golden State Warriors. Zeller's minutes were trending down before leaving Wednesday's game with a hip contusion and was doubtful coming into this contest. P.J. Washington and Bismack Biyombo will likely see a big boost in minutes with Washington being the more attractive option […]

Cody Zeller Unlikely To Play Friday

Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller (hip) is unlikely to suit up for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He has been downgraded to doubtful, so it doesn't sound like there's a good chance that Zeller plays here. Bismack Biyombo would most likely draw the start at center, while P.J. Washington would see increased value. […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/26/21): NBA DFS Lineups

Take a gander at Friday’s slate. There’s nine contests in total, yet only one that features both teams having an above .500 record. Now, that’s much to do with the parody of the Eastern Conference through the first half of the year, but there’s also six East vs. West showdowns that make for unique matchups. […]
