DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/21/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We have an eight game slate and there are some interesting options across the board. Not a ton of injuries as of right now, so lineup construction should be pretty straight forward, which could make it difficult to get some of the bigger name players into the same lineup. In this article, I will be providing […]

Nicolas Batum Doubtful on Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Nicolas Batum (Achilles) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. An MRI revealed Batum is dealing with chronic tendinitis in his left Achilles. Jeremy Lamb started for Batum on Monday and finished with 14 points, eight rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes. Owners will need to check back pregame […]

Dwight Howard Quiet In Loss

Charlotte Hornets center Dwight Howard could not handle the Process in a 14-point loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. Howard posted 10 points and four rebounds in 29 minutes, ending his double-double streak at four. Howard was disappointing on the defensive end, committing five fouls and giving up 25 points to opposing center Joel […]

Jeremy Lamb Plays Well In Start

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Jeremy Lamb posted 14 points, eight rebounds and three assists in a spot start against the Philadelphia 76ers Monday. Lamb was a very popular add in fantasy leagues earlier in the season with Nicolas Batum (Achilles) on the shelf. Batum is on the sidelines yet again, being evaluated on a game-by-game basis with […]

Kemba Walker Bounces Back With 24 Points

Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker returned to form Monday night against the Philadelphia 76ers after a subpar outing Saturday. Walker posted a full line with 24 points on 8-for-19 shooting, eight rebounds, six assists, three steals and one block in 40 minutes. Walker's line could have been monstrous, but he went an abysmal 1-for-9 […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (3/19/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

What a weekend of hoops! The NBA has a lot to live up to over the next few days before they go back to sharing the spotlight with the NCAA Tournament - which delivered a lot of excitement over the weekend, namely in the form of crazy upsets. The NBA is giving us a healthy […]

Cody Zeller Ruled Out on Monday

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Cody Zeller (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This will be his fifth straight game sidelined. Zeller was only worth a look in the deepest of leagues when healthy. Frank Kaminsky will absorb more playing time without Zeller in the rotation. Zeller belongs on the waiver […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/19/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a nice fat slate of eight games tonight and all are set up to be good games. Most of the teams playing tonight are in similar situations, whether it's fighting for seeding or just to salvage as many wins as possible, there should be minimal amount of blowouts and ALL of these teams […]

NBA Weekly Streamers for Week 23 (Mar 19 - Mar 25)

It's either the semi-finals or the finals in most fantasy hoops leagues. There's nothing left to hold back for now. If you've got a guy who's injured, no matter how good he is, it's time to cut bait and stream with that roster spot (assuming no available IR spot). So goodbye, Gary Harris. Adios, Kevin […]

Nicolas Batum Ruled Out Monday

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Nicolas Batum (Achilles) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. An MRI revealed chronic tendinitis in his left Achilles and Batum could be sidelined for multiple games. The Hornets are basically eliminated from the playoff race, so rushing Batum back is unnecessary. Jeremy Lamb is expected to draw […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (3/17/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

As the season dwindles down, the games are becoming more and more unpredictable. Injuries, resting players and playoff contention has thrown teams in a loop and while projecting winners has been a problem for bettors, score lines have been the go-to for me. While not entirely consistent, it does take into affect the pace and […]

In this article, I will be providing […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (3/15/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

If you feel like gambling tonight, I support the decision. Not only cause it gives me some extra traffic, but because every game has unreal upside. Some of the leagues slower teams are playing, but so are the teams most prolific and explosive offenses. With playoff implications still holding all the chips in regards to […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/15/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a nice slate of games for a Thursday, with many of them projected to run close, as well as be high-scoring. Not many significant injuries to work with, so your best bet will be to work on matchups, game pace and the over/under. In this article, I will be providing you with my […]

Jeremy Lamb is Questionable on Thursday

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (back) is questionable to play against the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday. It's a new injury for Lamb, but hopefully nothing too serious. He's cooled off a bit lately, but is still worth owning in most leagues. The Hornets have been hinting that they could change their rotation. Fantasy owners should […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (3/13/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

After only four games on Monday, the league has an overloaded slate on Tuesday night. With the playoff race in full swing, things are getting interesting, especially as it relates to player rotations.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/13/18): NBA DFS Lineups

There are plenty of games tonight and the value is there but scarce. With the amount of superstars playing you are going to need to pay up in the right places. The Suns-Cavaliers and Nuggets-Lakers are the games to stack and the points will be flying around in both games. Other than that, look for […]

Cody Zeller is Questionable Tuesday

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Cody Zeller (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He did not play in Saturday's contest versus the Suns. He was listed as doubtful for that contest and head coach Steve Clifford ruled him out pregame. Zeller does not offer much to many fantasy owners, but his absence […]

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Cody Zeller (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was listed as doubtful earlier in the day, but head coach Steve Clifford ruled him out in his pregame presser. Willy Hernangomez is expected to see additional minutes off the bench. However, he should not see more […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (3/10/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Five total games tonight, but FanDuel's main slate is only covering four. At first thought the Hornets-Suns game seems like an easy game to gloss over but there is a ton value to be found. First off, the upside-riddled Devin Booker should have minimal pressure on him tonight. His toughest competition would be Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, […]

Michael Carter-Williams is Done for the Season

Charlotte Hornets point guard Michael Carter-Williams (shoulder) is done for the remainder of the season. He's suffered a posterior labral tear in his left shoulder and it will require surgery. The injury occurred during the second quarter against the Toronto Raptors on March 4. Malik Monk is expected to jump into MCW's role as the […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/8/18): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Thursday, everyone. The association features a five-game slate with some pretty questionable matchups. Both Golden State and OKC have relatively easy games and are expected to win their respective contests by at least 10, making things tricky as they may opt to rest their core players down the stretch. Charlotte is also expected to win out […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (3/8/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Only five games tonight so let's get right into it. It's not a good night for fantasy basketball. I'll make that clear right off the bat. PLenty of funky mathups and teams that tend to focus more on hustle stats and defense more than anything. The Timberwolves-Celtics game is lined up to be close, but […]

Michael Carter-Williams Could Have Season-Ending Surgery

Charlotte Hornets point guard Michael Carter-Williams (shoulder) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. MCW's shoulder injury might require season-ending surgery, so fantasy owners should be concerned. He sprained his shoulder in Sunday's loss to the Raptors. Head coach Steve Clifford said they would determine a timetable for MCW after deciding […]

Marvin Williams is Questionable for Tuesday

Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams (head) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Williams is suffering from a migraine headache and did not go through shootaround. He's been struggling lately, averaging 2.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.0 assist, while shooting 16.7 percent from the floor. He is actually becoming a decent fantasy asset […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (3/6/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Pricing on this 8 game Tuesday slate is incredibly tight to start the day. Some news should come down during the day (hopefully) to loosen things up a bit. That said, this article will focus on some building blocks that I will center my teams around on Tuesday night and then filling in around as […]

Three-Man Weave: Fantasy Basketball's Gunners

There's an old cliche, "Offense wins games, defense wins championships." While that may ring true in the NBA, in fantasy basketball, owning a player who can score the ball at a high level can aid you in a number of ways. Gunners typically has a negative connotation, referring to someone who shoots without consequence. For the purpose […]

Michael Carter-Williams Ruled Out for Tuesday

Charlotte Hornets point guard Michael Carter-Williams (shoulder) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
