DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/2/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We have our busiest Thursday of the season so far with seven games going on. Memphis and Golden State are on the tail end of back-to-back sets. I don't really see Memphis sitting players because of the injuries they have anyway, but keep a close eye on Curry, Klay, and Draymond tonight. Don't be surprised […]

Tyrese Haliburton Hopes To Play As Early As Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (elbow/knee) has yet to be officially cleared by the team's trainers but said if it was up to him that he would play in Thursday's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. The up-and-coming star hasn't played since January 11 and seems to be eager to play again, but the team […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 16: Walker Kessler, Chris Duarte, Seth Curry

The deeper a fantasy basketball 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 […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/30/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a solid eight-game slate on tap Monday night, one that features a majority of games with narrow spreads. We also have some intriguing matchups on tap in Lakers-Nets, Kings-Timberwolves, Warriors-Thunder, and Hawks-Trail Blazers, although some key absences in that first contest will reduce the star power considerably. Projected totals also offer some reason […]

Bennedict Mathurin Paces Indiana With 27 Points

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin led the squad with 27 points on 9-for-20 shooting in Sunday's 112-100 loss to Memphis. Indiana blew a big lead in the second half and the team can't be happy about how things went, but on a personal level, Mathurin should be pretty satisfied with his contribution. The 20-year-old, who […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: With Tyrese Haliburton still out, T.J.

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/29/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We're back to the typical small weekend slate after we were treated with an outlier nine-game slate last night.

The Grizzlies, in particular, […]

Myles Turner Signs Extension With Pacers

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner has agreed to an extension with the organization. This is an interesting development given the trade rumors surrounding Turner. The big man gets a two-year deal worth $60 million. This doesn't mean Turner can't be traded, but the likelihood does decrease. Turner has been playing at a high level this […]

Tyrese Haliburton Not Cleared To Play Yet

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (knee, elbow) is set to miss at least one more game after being evaluated on Thursday. The young guard has missed the last two weeks due to sprains in his elbow and knee. He was re-evaluated recently, but the team hasn't cleared him to play yet. The Pacers will continue […]

Andrew Nembhard Cleared To Play Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (illness) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He has missed the last two games due to a non-COVID related illness.

Myles Turner Available Versus Bucks

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) will be available for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This is good news after the big man was listed as questionable coming into this game due to knee soreness. Fellow big man Isaiah Jackson will come off the bench with Turner cleared to play.

Myles Turner Receives Questionable Tag On Friday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks due to a right ankle sprain.

Real or Fake? Fantasy Basketball Players Whose Stats Will Be Better In 2023

With the NBA season nearing its halfway point, we have a pretty healthy sample size when it comes to player stats.

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Streamers: Week 15

It's an unconventional finish to the week in Week 15 of the NBA schedule. It's nice having 6 games tonight on a Thursday, but then we have a very odd flip tomorrow with only five games on a Friday and then 11 on Saturday. Sunday then wraps up the week with only four games. Most […]

Andrew Nembhard Downgraded To Out Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (illness) will not play Wednesday against the Orlando Magic. Nembhard will miss his second straight game with an illness after being listed as questionable for both. With Tyrese Haliburton (knee) still sidelined, T.J. McConnell should continue to lead the point guard minutes. McConnell has been stellar as a starter this […]

Aaron Nesmith Considered Questionable Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (wrist) is regarded as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Magic. He has a sore right wrist and might be forced to rest it for a night. Nesmith has started to gain momentum lately as a regular starter for the team. He is averaging 10.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.2 […]

Andrew Nembhard Questionable For Wednesday's Game

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (illness) could miss a second consecutive game Wednesday against Orlando, with the team listing him as questionable for the contest.

T.J. McConnell Posts Double-Double In Win Over Bulls

Andrew Nembhard Will Sit Out Tuesday

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (illness) will not play Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls. Nembhard is dealing with a non-COVID illness and is too under the weather to play against the Bulls.
