Maxi Kleber Could Miss Second Consecutive Outing

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (knee) has been labeled as questionable moving toward Sunday's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. Kleber is currently dealing with fluid in his left knee, an ailment that forced him to miss a game already. With Kristaps Porzingis (knee) already ruled out, Dwight Powell, who had 14 points, five rebounds, and […]

Kristaps Porzingis Will Miss Fourth Straight Game Sunday

Dallas Mavericks power forward Kristaps Porzingis (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Atlanta as he continues to battle a bone bruise on his right knee. Injuries have resulted in a start-stop season for Porzingis, who has shot a career-low 28.3% from behind the arc. At 19.2 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/5/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We have a typically-small five-game Saturday slate on tap tonight, and it's not going to be the easiest night to dissect as value appears to be slim outside of OKC. The top two games to target look to be the Bucks-Blazers and Heat-Hornets as those matchups hold high totals and weak defense on the Blazers […]

Kristaps Porzingis Will Not Play On Friday

Dallas Mavericks power forward Kristaps Porzingis (knee) will not play in Friday's game against the 76ers. The 26-year-old will be forced to miss his third consecutive game as a result of a right knee contusion.

If you're one of those fantasy basketball players that sets a lineup at the beginning of the week, checks out, and then comes back seven days later to see how things shook out, this post is not for you. This is for those who are grinding through each day and keeping track of categories as […]

Kristaps Porzingis Remains Sidelined For Wednesday’s Game

Dallas Mavericks power forward Kristaps Porzingis (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's contest against Oklahoma City due to a bone bruise in his right knee. Dwight Powell slid into the starting five for Porzingis on Sunday, although his minutes total and production stayed relatively steady. Without Porzingis active, Luka Doncic can be seen […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 16: Garrison Mathews, Corey Joseph, Reggie Bullock, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Austin Rivers

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 […]

Kristaps Porzingis Not Available On Sunday

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) didn't travel with the team for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. He was only able to play 11 minutes on Saturday before exiting with right knee soreness. His absence means more playing time for Maxi Kleber and Dwight Powell. The hope is that Porzingis can play in their […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/30/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

Just a five-game slate on tap tonight as there are three matinee contests in the NBA as well as the almighty NFL Championship Round games kicking off at 2:00 pm CT.

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/29/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We have a modest six-game slate in the NBA tonight, and it's certainly not lacking for star power.

Three of the six matchups […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/23/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We have nine games over on the main slate tonight, highlighted by the monster implied totals and fast projected paces of the Hawks-Hornets and Nets-Timberwolves contests. The Sixers-Spurs, Jazz-Warriors, and Lakers-Heat games also have their share of fantasy appeal, while the Grizzlies-Mavericks game and the Magic and Pistons don't look to be attractive targets tonight. […]

Maxi Kleber, Reggie Bullock Active On Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (knee) and guard Reggie Bullock (knee) will play during Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. However, neither player is expected to bring much to the table in this game. Kristaps Porzingis is back, which means Kleber won't be a recommended streaming option. Bullock normally gets significant playing time, but doesn't […]

MLK Day is always one of the more momentous days on the NBA calendar each season, and today is certainly no exception.

Forward/center Marquese Chriss signed a two-year deal with the Dallas Mavericks. The veteran has appeared in 13 games for the team already this season, averaging 6.5 points and 3.7 rebounds throughout 11.3 minutes of work. However, unless Kristaps Porzingis or Maxi Kleber were to succumb to an injury at some point, Chriss doesn't possess much […]

Willie Cauley-Stein Waived By Mavs

Dallas Mavericks center Willie Cauley-Stein has been waived. The 28-year-old big man hasn't played since late November because of personal reasons, though he was only averaging just under 10 minutes per game. The Mavs signed veteran Marquese Chriss, who has averaged 6.5 points and 3.7 boards throughout 13 games with the club this year to […]
