Kristaps Porzingis Picks Up Questionable Tag Saturday

Dallas Mavericks power forward Kristaps Porzingis (knee, rest) has been deemed questionable to play in Saturday's game versus the Suns as the team attempts to limit his workload on back-to-backs. Porzingis has played two straight nights earlier this year, but did sit out the second leg of the team's most recent back-to-back set. Should he […]

Fantasy Basketball Buy, Sell, or Hold: Naz Reid and Coby White

Trading in fantasy basketball can help you improve your team in the short, as well as in the long term. But, even more than that, it's just plain fun. Negotiating with your mate, going back and forth with offers, and hopefully, reaching a mutually beneficial agreement in the end. It's not always easy to find […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball (1/30/21) Picks: NBA DFS Lineups

There is a solid eight-game slate on the DraftKings main slate tonight, featuring five games with implied totals over 221 points and a classic LAL/BOS rivalry matchup. The Miami Heat are still decimated with injuries (though Jimmy Butler could return) and C.J. McCollum is still sidelined for the Blazers, but everything else is more-or-less full-go […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/30/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Happy Saturday, everyone. On Friday night, we were treated to some notable fantasy performances, which included two relatively unknowns in Theo Maledon and Juwan Morgan, both crushing their values.

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Streamers for Week 6

Week 6 already? It was just yesterday that I was flummoxed by the quick turnaround to the season. Time flies when you're having fun, right? Fantasy hoops is our joy but it hasn't been all fun and games this season. Injuries, postponements, and COVID have made this season more MASH than NBA is faaaaaaantastic. As […]

Luka Doncic Scores 30 Points In Loss To Jazz

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic scored a team-high 30 points on 13-for-24 shooting on Wednesday, but it wasn't enough to get the Mavericks past Utah. Doncic was 2-for-7 from three and added four rebounds and six assists as well. Averaging slightly fewer points per game this year than he did last season, Doncic is on […]

Josh Richardson Likely To Suit Up On Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Josh Richardson is expected to play during Wednesday's game versus the Utah Jazz. Richardson, Dwight Powell and Dorian Finney-Smith are all expected to play after missing the last nine contests due to COVID-19 and league's health and safety protocols. They could have some minute limits until they get back up to full speed conditioning-wise. […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Could Play Versus Jazz

Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. He has missed nine straight games while he waits to be cleared from the NBA's COVID-19 protocols. It sounds like Finney-Smith is finally ready to get back on the court. He was surprisingly a decent fantasy option while Kristaps Porzingis […]

Dwight Powell Should Play Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks center Dwight Powell is expected to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. It sounds like Powell has cleared the NBA's COVID-19 protocols, so he'll be back on the court for this one. Maxi Kleber is still absent from the team, which means more minutes for […]

Fantasy Basketball Deep League Adds: Week 6

The deeper a fantasy 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 help […]

There are 10 games on Monday's slate, and with so many repeats of games, try not to get sucked into the blackhole that is past performances.

Luka Doncic Posts 28-Point Performance Saturday Night

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic tallied 28 points with eight assists and five rebounds in Saturday's loss to Houston. He shot 9-for-18 from the field with an ugly 1-for-6 record from deep and his 7-for-12 free-throw shooting left a lot to be desired as well. Luka also had one block on the defensive end, […]

Kristaps Porzingis Unlikely To Suit Up Saturday

Dallas Mavericks power forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) has been deemed doubtful to suit up for Saturday's contest against the Rockets as the team attempts to limit his workload in his return from a knee injury.

Josh Hart (SG/SF, NO): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of leagues ANALYSIS: Josh Hart is far from your average small-wing, big-guard. Hart truly sits in the sweet spot between those two labels. That's why the second-unit Pelican is putting up great rebounding numbers this season (7.6 RPG) while only playing 28 MPG on the year […]

Luka Doncic Close To Another 30-Point Triple-Double

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic, who finished last week off with a 30-point triple-double against Chicago, was close to one again in Friday's matchup against San Antonio, finishing with 36 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds. He shot 13-for-28 from the field, including 4-for-12 from downtown, and a perfect 6-for-6 at the line. Doncic […]

There were supposed to be 13 games Friday, but both the Memphis-Portland and Washington-Milwaukee contests have been cancelled.
