I should have known that I couldn't stay red hot for too long! I followed up Monday's clean sweep with a rather lackluster 5-6 outing on Wednesday. It could have been worse, but I hit a decent amount of props and managed to break even - which sometimes feels like a win when things go […]

Wenyen Gabriel Good To Go On Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Wenyen Gabriel (ankle) will be active for Thursday night's game against the Utah Jazz.

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/31/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We have the usual modestly-sized slate on tap Thursday night, as there are just five games on the ledger.

The player pool […]

Anthony Davis Doubtful Against Jazz

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (foot) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. The All-Star big man is targeting a return for Friday, but does have a chance of playing on Thursday.

Wenyen Gabriel Questionable For Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Wenyen Gabriel (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. He is currently considered day-to-day due to a left ankle sprain. LeBron James (ankle) has been ruled out, so Gabriel should have a bigger role, assuming he can play. Although, it's tough to know which players on […]

LeBron James To Remain Out On Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers small forward LeBron James (ankle) will be sidelined for the second consecutive game on Thursday when the team takes on the Utah Jazz.

Dwight Howard Probable For Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard (hip) has been tagged as probable for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The Lakers are likely to be without two of their big three, so Howard should be asked to step up. He looked fantastic against the 76ers and nearly had a double-double in his last game. He'll […]
