Dorian Finney-Smith May Make Return To Court Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (groin) is listed as questionable to play Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks.

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/15/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We have another smaller slate in the NBA tonight with an exciting five-gamer featuring the 76ers-Lakers nightcap.

We have a smaller slate to work with in the NBA tonight, which is what we typically see on weekends.

Reggie Bullock Moves Into Starting Five

Dallas Mavericks guard Reggie Bullock will move into the starting five for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The rest of the starting unit will remain unchanged from Tuesday's contest.

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 13: Kevon Looney, Daniel Gafford, Alec Burks

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 […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: Are Bones Hyland's stupidly ridiculous numbers from Dec. 28 sustainable or not?
