DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (11/14/18): NBA DFS Lineups
An 11-game slate is just what we needed after last night's measly 3-game slate. The options seem almost endless, but there are specific matchups that need to be exposed. The Wizards are still struggling across the board, the Magic are trending up but lack defensive firepower, and the Lakers-Trail Blazers is going to be the […]

RotoBaller NBA Recap: Addition By Subtraction
We've all heard the phrase, "addition by subtraction" - a phrase which, by definition, is impossible to comprehend. I mean, how can you complete the process of adding something to something else while taking one number or amount away from another? It makes no sense. Unless, of course, you're the Cleveland Cavaliers, Houston Rockets, or Golden State […]
James Ennis Effective Against Nuggets
Houston Rockets forward James Ennis scored 16 points on 6-for-8 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Denver Nuggets. He also added four rebounds and a pair of blocks.

James Harden Records Double-Double Against Nuggets
It took a while for Houston Rockets guard James Harden to get his scoring going in Tuesday's win over the Nuggets, but by the end of the night he'd put up another strong performance. Harden scored 22 points on 7-for-16 shooting and added a team-high 11 assists. Last season's MVP also grabbed five rebounds to […]
P.J. Tucker Shoots Well From Deep Against Denver
Houston Rockets forward P.J. Tucker scored 12 points on 4-for-8 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Denver Nuggets, with seven of those shot attempts coming from three-point range.

P.J. Tucker Starting Tuesday
Houston Rockets forward P.J. Tucker (illness) will start Tuesday night against the Denver Nuggets. Tucker came into the contest questionable with an illness but was fully expected to play through it. Should Tucker suffer any sort of a setback, Gary Clark would get more run but is not currently a recommended fantasy option.
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (11/13/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
The league features only three games on Tuesday night and with Golden State playing their second of a back-to-back against the Hawks, be mindful that there is a good chance that they will clean up quick which could mean that Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson could sit out more than normal to get […]

P.J. Tucker is Questionable on Tuesday
Houston Rockets forward P.J. Tucker (illness) participated in shootaround but remains questionable for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He played fairly well with a stomach virus on Sunday.

James Harden Struggles Against Spurs
Houston Rockets guard James Harden had a shocking shooting night on Saturday against the Spurs, finishing 7-for-27 from the field and going 1-for-13 from downtown. However, he still ended up with 25 points thanks to a busy night on the line which had him shooting 10-for-13. Harden added six rebounds and three assists to his […]
Carmelo Anthony Ruled Out on Saturday
Houston Rockets forward Carmelo Anthony (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.

Houston Rockets forward Carmelo Anthony spent last year with the Thunder, and on Thursday he had a chance for a revenge game against his former team.
