Luka Doncic Hands Out 19 Assists

Dorian Finney-Smith (SF/PF, DAL): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS: While it is obvious that Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzings are the Mavs honchos, Dorian Finney-Smith has been doing the dirty work all season long (he's started every game) and that shouldn't change going forward. Even better Is the fact that DFS has improved […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for Friday (4/16/21) - Monkey Knife Fight

With only four games Thursday, Friday bounces back with a massive 11-game slate.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic filled up the box score and hit the game-winner in Wednesday's win over the Grizzlies.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/14/21): NBA DFS Lineups

We've got a massive slate of a dirty dozen NBA games on DraftKings tonight. I say dirty because there are several back-to-back sets, including the Nets who played a matinee in Minneapolis yesterday before heading to the airport to go to Philly.

Dallas Gets Maxi Kleber, J.J. Redick Back For Monday

Dallas Mavericks power forward/center Maxi Kleber (leg) and shooting guard/small forward J.J. Redick (heel) rejoin the lineup for Monday's contest against the 76ers. With the Mavs' schedule featuring a pile of back-to-backs, the team has alternated Kleber between being active and being held out of the mix, while Redick is making his team debut since […]

Kristaps Porzingis Will Be Held Out Of Monday’s Game

Dallas Mavericks power forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (knee, rest) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against Philadelphia. Porzingis has not played in both legs of a back-to-back since early February, so the move is not entirely surprising. The big man is coming off of a dominant 31-point, 15-rebound effort Sunday, now having rattled off three […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/12/21): NBA DFS Lineups

Kristaps Porzingis Might Rest Versus Sixers

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (rest) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so it's not surprising to see Porzingis questionable to play. The Mavs remain cautious with their superstar center, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to play. Maximilian Kleber and Dorian […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for Monday (4/12/21) - Monkey Knife Fight

Nine games on Monday after a redeeming weekend of basketball starts off with Knicks/Lakers and Mavericks/76ers, two games with the lowest projected point totals. Dallas versus Philadelphia is hopeful as long as Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis play, but this being the second night of a back-to-back means Porzingis' status in still up in the […]

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (leg) is out, but Willie Cauley-Stein (health and safety protocols) is available Sunday against the San Antonio Spurs. Kleber has missed a couple back-to-backs with the leg soreness, but returned and played 34 minutes on Thursday. The Mavericks are entering another back-to-back set so this is likely another maintenance day […]

J.J. Redick Logs Full Practice, Mavs Debut Could Come Soon

Dallas Mavericks shooting guard/small forward J.J. Redick (heel) was able to practice in full Saturday, potentially paving the way for the veteran to make his team debut with Dallas come Monday versus Philadelphia. Redick has uncharacteristically struggled from deep this season, shooting a career-low 36.4 percent en route to just a 8.7 PPG average. Traditionally […]

Dorian Finney-Smith (SF/PF, DAL): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 21% of leagues ANALYSIS: This is not about DFS, but it is actually about DFS, if you know what I mean. No daily fantasy sports, but definitely Dorian Finney-Smith, that is. DFS has started 40 games this season, which is to say DFS has started all games […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/9/21): NBA DFS Lineups

It's another solid slate in the NBA with nine games going on, but we know that load management shenanigans will plague this long before lock. At least we already know that John Wall is scheduled to rest and Myles Turner is out. Lonzo may join his brother as inactive, and the Pacers are still mum […]

Luka Doncic Notches 27-9-9 Line Thursday Night

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic had 27 points with nine rebounds and nine assists in Thursday's 116-101 win over Milwaukee, shooting 11-for-20 from the field and going 3-for-8 with the three-ball.

Kristaps Porzingis Posts Big Double-Double Versus Bucks

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis had a big performance in Thursday's win over Milwaukee, finishing with 26 points and 17 rebounds. He was 4-for-7 from downtown and also did some good work on the defensive end with a pair of blocks. Porzingis has returned from a short injury layoff with a bang, averaging 24.5 points […]

Willie Cauley-Stein Remains Out Against Milwaukee

Dallas Mavericks center Willie Cauley-Stein remains out on Thursday night against Milwaukee. The veteran hasn't played since mid-March while adhering to the league's health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19. The 27-year-old hasn't contributed much this season, so his absence won't impact fantasy managers, primarily since he likely isn't on many teams anyway. Nicolo Melli and […]
