FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (3/2/19): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
After an insane slate last night that included a 4-OT game which made it nearly impossible to cash without multiple pieces of that game, we can only hope that tonight's eight game slate is more predictable. As of Saturday morning, Embiid and Paul George have already been ruled out- there are multiple other players with […]
Rajon Rondo Fires Up Career-High 12 Three-Point Attempts
Los Angeles Lakers point guard Rajon Rondo must have been feeling it from long range during Friday’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks because the point guard jacked up 12 shots from deep, smashing his previous single game record during his 13-year NBA career. Rondo logged 40 minutes during his start, scoring a season-high 20 points […]
Brandon Ingram Continues Scoring Barrage
Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard/small forward Brandon Ingram kept his relentless offensive production sky-high during Friday’s defeat to the Milwaukee Bucks, tying for the team high with 31 points on 13-for-21 shooting.

LeBron James Goes For 31 Points In Defeat
Los Angeles Lakers small forward LeBron James collected his eighth consecutive double-double during Friday’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, finishing with 31 points and 10 assists.

RotoBaller NBA Recap: Trae Young Is Chasing Down Luka Doncic
Welcome to the RotoBaller NBA Recap. In this feature, we highlight three fantasy basketball takeaways from last night's slate of NBA games. Friday was a wild day in the NBA that featured a game-winner, a shootout in Atlanta and a battle of Giannis Antetokounmpo and LeBron James. The Chicago Bulls survived the Atlanta Hawks 168-161 […]
Lance Stephenson Upgraded to Questionable
Los Angeles Lakers forward Lance Stephenson (toe) has been upgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was ruled out for Friday, but apparently his left toe sprain is feeling better, so he's been upgraded to questionable. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Josh Hart would see more minutes coming their way if Stephenson sits […]

The 2018-19 NBA season is quickly winding down. With the calendar hitting March, not only does it mean that Spring is almost here but also that the NBA playoffs are on the horizon. While there are only seven games on the 20th Friday of the campaign, five of the contests on today's slate have playoff implications of […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/28/19): NBA DFS Lineups
I think people have the tendency to put too much weight on the impact of back-to-backs in the NBA. However, a bit of logic -- and data -- suggest the obvious... Despite being the greatest of the great, most physically gifted athletes the world has to offer whose entire lives are devoted to training and […]
LeBron James Provides A Full Line In Win Over Pelicans
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James capped off his 33-point night with a one-legged triple from the corner to seal the deal in the win over the Pelicans on Wednesday. James added six rebounds with 10 assists and added two steals with a block in 37 minutes of action. James looks to be getting his […]
Rajon Rondo Hands Out Season-High 16 Assists
Los Angeles Lakers point guard Rajon Rondo returned to the starting unit on Wednesday and managed to dish out a season-high 16 dimes in the win over his former squad, the Pelicans. Rondo did struggle from the floor as he made just 5-for-15 of his shots en route to 11 points but added seven rebounds […]
Brandon Ingram Racks Up 32 Points In Defeat
Los Angeles Lakers point guard/small forward Brandon Ingram compiled 32 points on 12-for-18 shooting during Monday’s loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Ingram was nearly unguardable, even by a stingy Memphis defensive unit, which is encouraging for those who roster the third-year wing and will rely on him during season-long fantasy playoffs. He has averaged a […]
LeBron James Logs Triple-Double On Rough Shooting Night
Los Angeles Lakers small forward LeBron James scuffled from the field during Monday’s loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, finishing 8-for-23 overall, but managed to record his sixth triple-double of the year regardless. James piled up 24 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists across his 40 minutes, but was unable to lead his team to victory. […]

We're in the final stretches of the NBA fantasy season for most, as a majority of leagues will start their playoffs starting on Week 22. Owners should be looking at every realm of possibility to improve their team's chances of locking in a playoff berth. It's time to drop the dead weight and scout for […]
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/25/19): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
I hope everyone had a nice weekend. After an uneventful three games on Sunday, the league is back on Monday with 11 to keep things interesting. We have some injuries to keep an eye on as Draymond Green, Tristan Thompson, Myles Turner, Justise Winslow, Mike Conley, Karl-Anthony Towns, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Otto Porter, Taurean Prince, Kevin […]
LeBron James Can't Save Lakers From Another Loss
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James had a very good performance on Saturday against New Orleans, but he couldn't save his team from a 128-115 loss. He had a 27-point, 11-assist double-double while shooting 11-for-17 from the field and a very good 3-for-6 from downtown. LeBron produced four steals on the defensive end and also […]
Brandon Ingram Leads Lakers In Scoring On Saturday
Los Angeles Lakers small forward Brandon Ingram had his best scoring performance since Jan. 25 on Saturday, finishing a 128-115 loss to New Orleans with 29 points. He shot 10-for-18 from the field, including 3-for-4 from behind the arc. A better job from the charity stripe could've led him to his second 30-point outing of […]
Brandon Ingram's 27 Points Help Secure The Win
Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard/small forward Brandon Ingram provided an excellent line to help propel his club to the 111-106 win over the Rockets on Thursday. Ingram made 8-for-16 of his shots from the floor to score 27 points while hauling in 13 rebounds with an assist and four turnovers in 41 minutes of action. […]
LeBron James Activates Playoff Mode In Big Win
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James did all he could to make sure his club left the court Thursday with the win when scored 29 points and made some big plays down the stretch. James made 11 of 23 shots from the floor and added 11 rebounds with six assists and a steal with a […]
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/21/19): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
WE ARE BACK. WE ARREEEE BACCKKKK. And with a delicious six-game slate, nearly every game guaranteeing solid competition. With the week break, it brings us what seems like an late-Valentines day gift in James Harden's price. Since it's at a reasonable price for being the highest-priced star tonight, you won't be pressed for a remaining […]
Mike Muscala is Probable for Thursday
Los Angeles Lakers center Mike Muscala (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. He was available for the last game before the All-Star break, so the ankle injury isn't anything serious. Tyson Chandler (neck) is questionable for this one, so Muscala could take over his minutes. However, that won't be […]
Josh Hart is Probable for Thursday
Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Josh Hart (knee) was not able to practice on Wednesday, but is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. He missed three of the last four games before the All-Star break. Reggie Bullock is in the rotation now, so Hart doesn't have much fantasy value right now.
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/21/19): NBA DFS Lineups
I won't pretend as if I found no pleasure in All-Star Weekend. It was fun. The dunk contest, while anticlimactic, did provide me with the Oscar-worthy, short film comedy that was the John Collins air plane dunk. Hamidou Diallo Vince Carter-ing over Shaq was impressive. And, while Dennis Smith Jr. missed eleventy attempts, he had […]
RotoBaller NBA Recap: Wait, What?!
LeBron James' 28 points, 11 rebounds, and 16 assists weren't enough to prevent the Lakers from taking a L at the hands of the 19-38 Hawks. The Celtics two-game losing streak came to an end in Philadelphia; without Kyrie Irving. And, the Pelicans lost at home, by 30, to the 26-32 Magic in a game […]
Kyle Kuzma Scores 19 Points On 20 Shots
Los Angeles Lakers power forward Kyle Kuzma saw ample opportunities from the field during Tuesday’s loss to the Atlanta Hawks, dropping 19 points on 8-for-20 shooting. His performance marks the first time this season Kuzma has gotten up at least 20 shots in three consecutive games, as he even filled in as a small-ball center […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/13/19): NBA DFS Lineups
We are just at the start of the All-Star Break so of course we have our "last" massive slate for this section of the season. With so many games available, you need to find the super value play to help create a foundation for your lineup. With all the recent trades, there are still a […]
Reggie Bullock Nails Trio Of Threes In Second Lakers Start
Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Reggie Bullock had a much better second act with his new club than his opening performance, knocking down three triples on his way to 15 points during Tuesday’s loss to the Atlanta Hawks. With Josh Hart on the shelf, Bullock was able to snatch 35 minutes in the starting five, […]
LeBron James Notches Fifth Triple-Double Of Year
Los Angeles Lakers small forward LeBron James logged his second triple-double in his last four games during Tuesday’s loss to the Atlanta Hawks. James, playing de facto point guard on many possessions, set a new season-high with 16 assists, while adding 28 points and 11 rebounds. Despite recent discussions of ‘load management,’ James was on […]
Mike Muscala Gets Green Light To Play Tuesday
Los Angeles Lakers power forward/center Mike Muscala has been cleared for action Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks despite having missed shootaround earlier in the day due to a right ankle sprain. Muscala suffered the injury late in Sunday’s loss to Philadelphia and it appears he’ll try and give it a go, although JaVale McGee stands […]
Tyson Chandler Ruled Out On Tuesday
Los Angeles Lakers center Tyson Chandler will be in street clothes for Tuesday’s contest versus the Atlanta Hawks due to a right big toe sprain. Chandler was unable to participate in shootaround earlier in the day, so the move comes as little surprise and should pave the way for JaVale McGee to see a hefty […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/12/19): NBA DFS Lineups
We had a larger Monday slate, which means we're back to a relatively small Tuesday slate. Still, there are five games, and we only have a few more slates before the All Star Break. We have to take advantage of these slates before the NBA makes us take a break from it all, right? In […]
