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 […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/17/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a 10 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 […]

J.J. Barea Expected to Play Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea (rib) is expected to play on Friday versus the Toronto Raptors, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. He suffered the injury in Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/16/18): NBA DFS Lineups

There was a sizable slate last night, which leaves only a six game slate for tonight. That's kind of odd, as Friday is generally the "big day" for the NBA. March Madness is going on right now, though, so maybe the NBA does not want to compete for ratings. Regardless, we still have plenty of […]

Wesley Matthews Will Miss Road Trip

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (leg) will miss the upcoming four-game road trip. Matthews got bumped in Saturday's game and his leg "swelled up a bit" and the Mavs do not want to risk anything.

Dennis Smith Jr. is Expected to Play Sunday

Dallas Mavericks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (knee) is expected to return on Sunday versus the Houston Rockets. The Mavs do not want Smith playing in back-to-back sets, so they held him out on Saturday against the struggling Grizzlies. Both J.J. Barea and Yogi Ferrell saw increased playing time and more opportunities without DSJ on the […]

Nerlens Noel Will Play Sunday

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Nerlens Noel (thumb) will play against the Houston Rockets on Sunday. Head coach Rick Carlisle held Noel out of Saturday's contest, but said Noel would play Sunday.

Wesley Matthews Logs 25 Minutes In Return From Injury

Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Wesley Matthews (hip) was back on the court on Saturday after missing the last two games, playing 25 minutes in a 114-80 win over Memphis.

Doug McDermott Gets 20 Points Off The Bench

Dallas Mavericks forward Doug McDermott had his best game since joining the team in February, scoring 20 points off the bench in 25 minutes on Saturday against the Grizzlies.

Dennis Smith Jr. is Questionable on Saturday

Dallas Mavericks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He missed two games back in October due to a left knee effusion. However, he has not had any reported issues since then, so hopefully it's just a minor issue. Fantasy owners are likely going to need to wait […]

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, […]

[…]

Harrison Barnes Rides Back Seat In Dallas Win

Dallas Mavericks small forward Harrison Barnes logged an unspectacular 32 minutes on Tuesday against Denver, finishing with 15 points and seven rebounds. He started off ice-cold and that left a mark on his shooting, which was 7-for-18 (38.9 percent) in the end. Barnes had a couple of nice 26-point outings back to back last week, […]

He's struggled in recent outings, as […]

Wesley Matthews is Out on Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (hip) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This will be the second game in a row that Matthews has missed.

NBA Injuries and Who Can Benefit Instead (Week 21)

Last week I was certain the basketball gods were trying to take out all of the NBA’s superstars, or there was a zombie apocalypse brewing, (I still believe the zombie apocalypse personally). Thankfully, there are not many long-term injuries to report this week. As busy as NBA injuries keep me during the season, and as […]
