It feels like a get-away-day in baseball. We have two slates for the NBA today, and none of that two game slate garbage! There are actually 11 games on this Martin Luther King day (I hope you're off and get to enjoy the games), but FanDuel has essentially split them into two "main" slates - […]

Clint Capela Records Double-Double Friday

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela was active on the boards and in the paint in Houston's dominant win over the Phoenix Suns on Friday, scoring 17 points and grabbing 16 rebounds.

NBA Heat Check: Surging Players in Week 13

The NBA season is far from over, but that’s not so true of fantasy basketball. With the playoffs coming into view, it’s time for you to start thinking about a ring. If you’re fighting for a playoff spot, get busy winning. Or if you’re sitting pretty at the top of the leader boards, maybe grab […]

NBA Injuries and Who Can Benefit Instead (Week 13)

Just how frustrated are we with injuries in the NBA this season? It seems as if Player X returns, Player B gets injured. The injury bug has been real this season, and it's like a plague that continues to spread across the league. Understanding the injury landscape is key in all forms of fantasy basketball. […]

Tarik Black Ruled Out Friday

Houston Rockets forward/center Tarik Black (eye) will miss Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Black was wearing thick sunglasses after Wednesday's contest and it's unclear how long he'll be out. Nene Hilario (knee) won't play travel with the Rockets for their upcoming two-game road trip. That means Clint Capela will be seeing plenty of playing […]

Gerald Green (SG/SF, HOU) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 54% Yahoo! ANALYSIS: With James Harden sidelined with a hamstring injury, Gerald Green has stepped into a much larger role for the Rockets. In five games without Harden, the 31-year-old is averaging 21.0 points on 49.3 percent shooting with 26 three-pointers made. Harden may return as early […]

Eric Gordon Continues Efficient Play

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon continues to thrive in the absence of guard James Harden (hamstring). Gordon played 33 minutes in the 121-112 win over the Portland Trail Blazers and scored 30 points. He was an effective 11-for-23 from the field and was relatively accurate from deep, finishing the night going 5-for-12. He also pulled […]

Chris Paul Dumps 37 Points on Blazers

Houston Rockets guard Chris Paul was letting them fly against Portland on Wednesday night. Paul was a rough 13-for-29 from the field and an equally inefficient 3-for-11 from deep, finishing the night with 37 points. He also handed out 11 assists, pulled down seven boards and nabbed away three steals. Since the absence of guard […]

Three-Man Weave: Fantasy Basketball's Alphas

In a game when there is only one ball and 10 players, the most coveted player in fantasy basketball is the player who wants the ball the most. Sometimes this can be a really bad thing (See: Bryant, Kobe - 2015-16), most of the time these players consistently are found at the top of fantasy […]

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul contributed 16 points, seven rebounds, 13 assists and two steals in a 108-101 loss against the Detroit Pistons. Paul also recorded five turnovers, which gives him 10 turnovers in his last two outings. Paul is usually more careful with the ball, but without another high level playmaker on the […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/6/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Six games tonight with an early Warriors-Clippers game at 2:30PM. It's important to note the lack of options at small forward, and the problem is whether to go big with LeBron James or Giannis Antetokounmpo. Even Jimmy Butler is enticing, but both Butler and James have the better matchups on paper. Antetokounmpo will be going […]

Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers (Week 13)

It was a fun week of basketball with a few marquee games, including the return of Isaiah Thomas against Portland on Tuesday, a (Thomas-less) Cavaliers/Celtics game on Wednesday, and a Warriors/Rockets game on Thursday that was exciting in spite of the fact that Golden State was without Kevin Durant and Houston was without James Harden. […]

Nene Hilario Will Sit on Saturday

Houston Rockets center Nene Hilario (knee) will sit out on Saturday against the Detroit Pistons. Hilario has been dealing with a deep bruise, which also forced him to miss the team's last meeting with the Warriors on Thursday night.

Eric Gordon Struggles from Deep on Thursday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon got the starting nod in the absence of guard James Harden (hamstring) on Thursday night. Gordon played 38 minutes in the loss to the Warriors, scoring a team-high 30 points on 50 percent from the field. He did have issues from long range, finishing 2-for-9 from behind the arc, but […]

Chris Paul Productive Against Warriors

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul was efficient despite his team falling to Golden State on Thursday night. Paul played a productive 36 minutes, totaling 28 points on 10-for-21 from the field.
