FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (12/27/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

We have a more relaxed, 5-game slate after an action-packed last two days of basketball. After the way the Lakers capped off their Christmas-day win over the Warriors, going against the Kings makes it hard not to stack the entire team. To make things better, the Kings are coming off a loss to the Clippers […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/27/18): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Holidays! Nine of the league's top teams -- and the Knicks -- are in action tonight in what makes for an intriguing five-game slate. If you haven't heard, LeBron James (groin) is set to miss his first game as a Laker meaning Kyle Kuzma and Brandon Ingram should see a boost in production. Thing is, […]

JaVale McGee is Doubtful for Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers center JaVale McGee (illness) is not expected to play in Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings, according to head coach Luke Walton. He's missed the last five games due to an illness and is likely going to sit out again. Ivica Zubac will continue to benefit if McGee is unable to suit […]

Josh Hart Will Start on Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Josh Hart will join the starting five for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. LeBron James (groin) will be sidelined for this contest and could be out multiple games. Both Hart and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will see an increase in playing time on Thursday.

RotoBaller NBA Recap: Spencer Dinwiddie Outduels Kemba Walker

Welcome to the RotoBaller NBA recap. In this feature, we highlight three fantasy basketball takeaways from the previous night's slate of games.

JaVale McGee Is Questionable Versus Kings

Los Angeles Lakers center JaVale McGee (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Kings. The 7-footer has missed the last five games with a respiratory infection.

LeBron James Ruled Out for Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. James is dealing with a left groin injury and it would be surprising to see him playing against the Clippers on Friday. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope or Josh Hart would be the most likely candidates to join the starting […]

Ivica Zubac Registers A Game-High Plus-25 Rating

Los Angeles Lakers center Ivica Zubac scored 18 points on 9-for-10 shooting from the floor in Tuesday's win over the Warriors.

It was his third straight start […]

The 32-year-old was 6-for-11 from the field and 1-for-3 from beyond the arc. It was his first double-double since returning from injury three games ago. With Rondo rounding […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/26/18): NBA DFS Lineups

Initially, I wrote a FanDuel article when it was supposed to be DraftKings. Luckily, the picks I had planned didn't change, but the prices did. I apologize and the this article has been updated accordingly. Mostly, I apologize to Tom Vecchio, who puts out dynamite content on Wednesdays, and whose clicks I probably stole...my bad. […]

LeBron James Heads To Locker Room

Los Angeles Lakers small forward and power forward LeBron James (unknown) left Tuesday's game against the Warriors with around eight minutes remaining in the third quarter. He walked back to the locker room gingerly after trying to stretch out his groin or hip. James appeared to suffer the injury when he was on the floor […]

JaVale McGee Ruled Out for Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers center JaVale McGee (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. McGee has been battling pneumonia and spent three days in the hospital.

Los Angeles Lakers center JaVale McGee (illness) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. McGee was in the hospital over the weekend and was discharged on Saturday. Tyson Chandler (back) is listed as questionable for this one. Ivica Zubac would be a favorable DFS option with both McGee and Chandler […]

Tyson Chandler is Questionable for Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers center Tyson Chandler (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. There is a good chance that Chandler misses his second game in a row due to back spasms. Ivica Zubac has been fantastic without Chandler on the court, but that Warriors are not an easy opponent. […]

Buy, Sell, or Hold: Larry Nance Jr. and Draymond Green

Two weeks ago you had the opportunity to read some advice in this column that turned out to be pretty decent. That was to buy Larry Nance Jr. while he was in the doghouse in Cleveland. For those of you who managed to obtain Larry's services on the cheap, congratulations are in order! He has […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (12/23/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Happy Holidays to everyone. The league has 11 games to close out the weekend and with no games on Monday in addition to a limited schedule on Christmas; this will be the last big slate until Wednesday. Pay attention to the matchups as you'll want to target New Orleans/Sacramento, Atlanta/Detroit, and Minnesota/Oklahoma City (in that […]

LeBron James Continues To Dominate The Boards

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James continues to rebound at an elite level as of late with the Lakers missing some big bodies as he hauled in 14 boards on Sunday in the loss. James scored 22 points on 8-for-14 shooting while dishing out seven dimes with a steal and a block on the night. […]

Lonzo Ball Misses All Seven Attempts From Three On Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Lonzo Ball connected on just 2-for-10 shooting which included seven misses from three on Sunday in his club's 107-99 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Ball finished the night with just four points and added two assists with three rebounds and three steals with two blocks. The defensive numbers definitely helped, but […]

Tyson Chandler To Be Sidelined Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers center Tyson Chandler will miss Sunday’s contest against the Memphis Grizzlies due to a back injury. With both Chandler and JaVale McGee inactive, look for Ivica Zubac to see the majority of minutes at center, with Kyle Kuzma even presenting a small-ball option at the five. Chandler isn’t a major fantasy contributor, […]

JaVale McGee Ruled Out on Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers center JaVale McGee (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. McGee spent three days in the hospital due to pneumonia and was discharged on Saturday. Tyson Chandler and Ivica Zubac will continue to see increased playing time with McGee sidelined.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/23/18): NBA DFS Lineups

With nine games on the slate, I can already tell you that the Pelicans-Kings will be one of the higher scoring contests. I'm also eyeing the Celtics-Hornets game for assured value, but I will be mostly focusing on three games, NOP @ SAC, CHA @ BOS, and LAC @ GS. The Pelicans should have no […]

Kyle Kuzma Pours In Team-High 23 Points

Los Angeles Lakers small/power forward Kyle Kuzma delivered a team-high 23 points despite the return to the lineup of teammates Rajon Rondo and Brandon Ingram during Friday’s win over the New Orleans Pelicans. With the Lakers nearly back at full strength, Kuzma’s numbers certainly didn’t take a hit Friday, as he knocked down three threes […]

Ivica Zubac Collects First Double-Double Of Season

Los Angeles Lakers center Ivica Zubac went for his first double-double of the year during his first start of the year Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans. With JaVale McGee sidelined due to an illness, Zubac (who was questionable to play due to an illness himself) entered the starting lineup for the first time since […]

LeBron James Collects Third Triple-Double Of Year

Los Angeles Lakers small forward LeBron James totaled his third triple-double of the season during Friday’s win over the New Orleans Pelicans, finishing with 22 points and a team-high 14 assists and 12 rebounds. James was questionable to play in the contest due to an illness, but still managed to log 39 minutes. It was, […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/22/18): NBA DFS Lineups

With six games on the main slate, you really don't need all that much value tonight. You will need that one sleeper to come in clutch, but other than that, go with the safer, mid-tier priced options. Since Chris Paul is out, look for Brandon Knight to see a ton of minutes tonight. Other than […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/21/18): NBA DFS Lineups

The 10th Friday of the NBA season is here and upon us. There is not a ton of great matchups despite there being 10 games on the docket. The best matchup will likely be the Bucks and Celtics. The Spurs-Timberwolves, Trail Blazers-Jazz, Grizzlies-Kings, and Pelicans-Lakers are other intriguing contests. There were only two games on […]

RotoBaller NBA Recap: Buy-Low/Sell-High Season

Vince Carter knocked down two three-pointers in the Hawks 118-110 victory over the Wizards Tuesday night, and in doing so passed Paul Pierce to become No. 7 on the NBA's all-time three-pointers made list. Currently in his 21st season, the timeless Carter has one obvious advantage over many NBA players - longevity. In fact, when […]
