Buy-Low, Sell-High, NBA Fantasy Basketball Playoffs

All-Star weekend has come to a close, which means two things. One, and maybe most obvious, we're in the second half of the 2021-22 NBA season. Two, we're nearing the fantasy basketball playoffs, which is maybe not as obvious if you don't play the game, but that's likely why you're reading this article in the […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/20): All-Star Game NBA DFS Lineups

We have a treat in store tonight as the 71st edition of the NBA All-Star Game will take place at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio. Karl-Anthony Towns won the Three-Point Contest and Obi Toppin took home the title in a wholly uninspiring Slam Dunk Contest on Saturday, but tonight features the real show as […]

Anthony Davis To Miss A Month

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (foot) is expected to miss a month of action. The organization originally planned to rest Davis through the All-Star break and re-evaluate him in two weeks. However, Davis underwent an MRI on Thursday, which revealed a mid-foot sprain. The Lakers will shut down Davis for four weeks before they […]

Anthony Davis Will Miss Two Weeks

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (ankle) is going to miss at least two weeks of action. The organization will re-evaluate Davis during the All-Star break, but it's uncertain if Davis will return right after two weeks. Davis is set to undergo an MRI on Thursday, so more information should be known after that. It's […]

LeBron James Good To Go For Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers small forward LeBron James (knee) is active and in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. James had been listed as questionable for the game due to left knee soreness, but the injury won't be keeping him out. He'll be joined by Russell Westbrook, Malik Monk, Stanley Johnson and […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 2/16/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

There are only two days left until the All-Star break, but rarely will these massive slates mean low-quality basketball. The competition, if anything, has revved up in these last couple weeks and with multiple trades impacting teams in pivotal playoff seeding positions, the rest of the season is going to revolve around shifting team dynamics […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (2/15/22)

Well, they say that all good things have to come to an end, right? The cruel reality that you can't win every night reared its ugly head last night as I went 0-4 with the first goose egg that I've taken in a few weeks. The Spurs hurt the most as they led or within […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (2/14/22)

It was a pretty sweet week of betting last week and with the extra time that I had because of the way football was winding down to just one final game, I was able to put out something every day last week. I hope you enjoyed last night's Super Bowl and cashed some bets, but […]

Russell Westbrook To Return Against Golden State

Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook (back) will play on Saturday versus the Warriors. Westbrook didn't play during L.A.'s last game against the Portland Trail Blazers because of a sore lower back, which opened the door for Talen Horton-Tucker to benefit the most. While Horton-Tucker has upside, it's undoubtedly lower now that Westbrook is back […]

Anthony Davis Will Suit Up Versus The Warriors

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (wrist) will play on Saturday evening versus Golden State. A.D. was on the injury report because of right wrist soreness, although he didn't appear to be in any real danger of missing this one. LeBron James (knee) and Russell Westbrook (back) will also play, so all three men should […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/12/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

Welcome, RotoBallers, to Super Bowl Eve. We have an unusually large 10-game slate on tap for tonight and just two afternoon games tomorrow as the NBA, rightfully, wants to avoid conflicting with the most-watched event of the year. It is a really tricky slate, though, as a group of top teams we'd love to target […]

Carmelo Anthony Remains Unavailable For Saturday’s Game

Los Angeles Lakers power forward Carmelo Anthony (hamstring) has been ruled out for a fourth consecutive contest, this time missing Saturday's outing vs. Golden State. L.A.'s second unit has primarily relied on Talen Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson for elevated usage in Anthony's absence. Prior to being injured, Anthony was in an offensive rhythm, averaging 14.6 […]

LeBron James, Russell Westbrook Questionable For Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers small forward/center LeBron James (knee) and point guard Russell Westbrook (back) have been deemed questionable to suit up for Saturday's game against the Warriors. James has picked up right where he left off since returning three contests ago, averaging 28.7 points on 56.9% shooting in that span. It's possible that L.A. gives […]

LeBron James Cleared Versus Blazers

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (knee) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It is the second game of a back-to-back set, so possibly the Lakers monitor James in this game. Although, the absence of Russell Westbrook (back) will likely mean James will have to do more on […]

Russell Westbrook Sits Out Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The timing is surely interesting with the trade deadline looming. Westbrook hasn't been thrilled with the Lakers benching him lately and could be headed on his way out. Regardless, LeBron James (knee) will be asked to […]

Carmelo Anthony To Sit Out Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Carmelo Anthony (hamstring) has already been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. However, it was announced that Anthony will also sit out Wednesday's game versus the Portland Trail Blazers as well. The veteran forward will miss both games of the back-to-back set. His absence will mean more minutes […]

Kendrick Nunn Unlikely To Play Before March

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kendrick Nunn (knee) is unlikely to get back on the court before March, according to head coach Frank Vogel. He has not played at all this season due to a right knee bone bruise. The Lakers have not given many updates on Nunn lately, so it's difficult to know when he'll […]

LeBron James Earns Probable Tag For Tuesday’s Game

Los Angeles Lakers point guard/small forward LeBron James (knee) has been deemed probable to play in Tuesday's contest vs. the Bucks after making a somewhat surprising return to action Saturday. James, who missed five games with a knee ailment, was able to log a triple-double across 40 minutes in his return to action, so it's […]

Carmelo Anthony Out On Saturday Night

Los Angeles Lakers forward Carmelo Anthony (hamstring) won't play against the Knicks. The veteran tweaked his right hamstring on Thursday versus the Clippers and didn't return as a result. LeBron James (knee) is unlikely to suit up, so Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis should continue to handle most of the offensive chances. Yet, Malik Monk, […]

LeBron James Unlikely To Play On Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (knee) is unlikely to suit up for Saturday's bout versus the Knicks. The former MVP continues to deal with left knee soreness, an injury that's kept him out of the lineup for his previous five games. Nonetheless, without James, Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis should continue to lead the […]

LeBron James Won't Play Against Clippers

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. It was highly unlikely that James was going to play in this game. His timetable remains unknown and there's a chance that James sits out until the All-Star break. In the meantime, Anthony Davis and Russell […]

LeBron James Doubtful Versus Clippers

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (knee) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This doesn't come as a surprise as James is expected to miss additional time due to a swollen knee. Stanley Johnson is expected to remain in the starting five, but doesn't have great streaming appeal. Instead, […]

Anthony Davis To Play On Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (wrist) is available for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It seems normal for Davis to be listed as probable, but there was really no doubt in his status here. He looked fine during their last contest and shouldn't be limited at all on Wednesday. LeBron James (knee) […]

LeBron James Likely To Miss More Time

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (knee) flew back to Los Angeles to receive treatment this weekend. The knee injury appears to be worse than the organization originally thought. An MRI revealed general soreness and head coach Frank Vogel has not given a timetable on James return. "As long as the swelling is there, he […]
