Kristaps Porzingis Upgraded To Probable

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (back) has been upgraded to probable for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He has missed each of the last two weeks due to lower back tightness. Porzingis could be a bit rusty, but he'll still be a productive fantasy option against the banged up Nets roster. Dwight Powell and […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball (2/27/21) Picks: NBA DFS Lineups

Saturday presents a strong seven-game slate for the NBA on DraftKings, and we have more than enough positive game environments and defenseless teams to take advantage of tonight. There are two games with egregious implied totals in MIN/WAS (236 points) and DAL/BKN (238.5 points) while NO/SAS and the 76ers are also in great spots, which […]

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (back) is expected to play Saturday against the Brooklyn Nets.

Doncic was 3-for-6 from deep and also added three rebounds, four assists, and three blocks.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/25/21): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! We greet Friday's Friday with a six-game schedule as we get the weekend started early.

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/25/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

We have a modest six-game slate, a fairly typical size for a Thursday night. The less-than-ideal aspect of the ledger for DFS purposes is that it tilts more toward non-competitive matchups that could lead to some star players seeing less than a full allotment of minutes. A couple of the best defensive teams in the […]

Maxi Kleber Probable For Thursday

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He has missed each of the last two games due to a left ankle sprain. However, it sounds like Kleber is finally ready to get back on the court. His return to action would mean less playing time […]

Kristaps Porzingis Doubtful Versus Sixers

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (back) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was listed as questionable on Wednesday, but it sounds like the Mavs plan on giving Porzingis more time to rest. Dwight Powell and Willie Cauley-Stein would be asked to play more, assuming Porzingis is out. Neither are […]

Dallas Mavericks power forwards/centers Kristaps Porzingis (back) and Maxi Kleber (ankle) have picked up questionable designations for Thursday's contest against the 76ers.

With a nine-game slate Wednesday, the action picks up right where it left off. The last game of the night yesterday between the title-contending Clippers team, and a surging Wizards squad wasn't close, but enough points were scored that both teams star players were able to shine on the court and the box score. Looking […]

James Johnson Draws First Start Of The Year Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks power forward James Johnson will not only return to the rotation for Tuesday's game against Boston, he'll start for the first time this season. Johnson was out of the mix for the past six games, but injuries to Kristaps Porzingis (back) and Maximilian Kleber (ankle) have forced the veteran into a larger role. […]

Kristaps Porzingis Not On The Block

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (back) will remain with the team, according to owner Mark Cuban. "We have not discussed him (Porzingis) in a trade at all," remarked Cuban when asked about a potential deal to Golden State. The 25-year-old continues to deal with tightness in his back, an injury that will keep him out […]

Kristaps Porzingis, Maximilian Kleber Ruled Out Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (back) and forward Maxi Kleber (ankle) have been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics.

Dwight Powell Enters Starting Five Monday

Dallas Mavericks center Dwight Powell has been bumped up into the starting group for Monday's contest against the Grizzlies. Powell stands to benefit from Kristaps Porzingis' (back) absence, although Willie Cauley-Stein should also factor in significantly to the team's frontcourt rotation. Even during six starts this year, Powell is averaging just 5.3 points and 4.4 […]

Kristaps Porzingis Ruled Out For Monday’s Game

Dallas Mavericks power forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (back) will miss Monday's contest against the Rockets due to a tight back.

Kristaps Porzingis Could Sit Out Monday

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Mavs haven't played in over a week, but reportedly have been practicing with high intensity. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, which means Porzingis is likely to sit out one of the games. Willie Cauley-Stein […]
