Danny Green Probable For Game 4

Los Angeles Lakers guard Danny Green (finger) is listed as probable for Thursday's Game 4 versus the Denver Nuggets. He tweaked his left ring finger on his non-shooting hand. Green is fully expected to suit up for this one. He hasn't put together great fantasy value during the playoffs, but has had his moments. Alex […]

Alex Caruso Probable For Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Alex Caruso (wrist) is listed as probable for Thursday's Game 4 contest against the Denver Nuggets. Caruso mentioned that his left wrist felt a little stiff after Tuesday's loss. He'll get an MRI on Wednesday, but Caruso is expected to play through the issue. Fantasy owners should check back for another […]

Dion Waiters Unlikely To Play Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Dion Waiters (groin) is expected to miss Tuesday's Game 3 contest against the Denver Nuggets. Waiters has missed each of the last five games due to a left groin injury.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (9/10/20): NBA DFS Lineups

Wednesday night was an entertaining double dosage of playoff goodness. The Raptors forced a game seven against the Celtics by beating them by three points and it took two overtimes to find a winner. Kawhi had a classic-Kawhi line of 30/11/9/4/2 as the Clippers pushed the Nuggets to the brink of elimination with a 3-1 […]

NBA DFS Cheat Sheet & Expert Lineups for September 10th

With only two games on this Thursday slate, I'm going to discuss each game and provide a player pool for the slate at the bottom.  The majority of the slates moving forward will be smaller so remember that almost anyone getting minutes is in play instead of being able to easily cross off or remove […]

Dion Waiters Doubtful For Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Dion Waiters (groin) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's Game 3 matchup versus the Houston Rockets. He has played a total of eight minutes in this series, so losing Waiters won't hurt too much. Rajon Rondo looked fantastic last game and would probably take most of his minutes anyway. Rondo could […]

After an extended weekend, the league kicks off the abbreviated week with two games on the schedule.

Dion Waiters Exits Early On Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Dion Waiters (groin) only played for three minutes during Sunday's Game 2 matchup due to injury. He pulled his left groin and was unable to return to the contest. Sadly, groin injuries have a tendency to linger, so it's unclear if Waiters will be able to suit up for Game 3. […]

JaVale McGee Suffers Injury On Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers center JaVale McGee (ankle) will have an MRI prior to Tuesday's Game 3 matchup versus the Houston Rockets. He suffered a left ankle injury and was only able to play for eight minutes on Sunday. Despite that, head coach Frank Vogel decided to leave Dwight Howard on the bench for the entire […]

Dwight Howard Healthy Scratch During Game 2

Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard did not play at all during Sunday's Game 2 matchup versus the Houston Rockets. Head coach Frank Vogel has decided to go small ball instead of taking advantage of the Rockets lack of size. JaVale McGee (ankle) only saw eight minutes of play on Sunday, while Howard didn't play […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (9/6/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

As the extended weekend continues, the league has two contests on tap.

If he does manage to suit up, the reigning MVP […]

NBA DFS Cheat Sheet & Expert Lineups for September 6th

With only two games on this Tuesday slate, I'm going to go game-by-game and breakdown my favorite plays from each game as well as my overall strategy for lineup construction on this slate (which can vary on FanDuel and DraftKings due to pricing and position eligibility).   Miami Heat (-2) vs. Milwaukee Bucks (219 total) […]

Rajon Rondo Probable For Sunday's Game 2

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (back) is listed as probable for Sunday's Game 2 matchup against the Houston Rockets. He was able to get out there and make his bubble debut during Friday's contest. He played 25 minutes, but likely played more than the Lakers wanted him to on Friday. Alex Caruso got into […]

Anthony Davis, LeBron James Probable For Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (finger) and forward LeBron James (groin) are listed as probable for Sunday's Game 2 versus the Houston Rockets. Both superstars have been listed as probable multiple times during the postseason and they continue to play. It doesn't sound like either player is going to be sidelined here. Fantasy owners […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (9/4/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

As part of the world heads toward the unofficial last weekend of summer, the play inside the bubble is getting hotter than ever.

Rajon Rondo Probable For Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (back) is listed as probable for Friday's Game 1 matchup against the Houston Rockets. He has been banged up since the bubble began, so expect the Lakers to limit him during this one. His return should mean less minutes for Alex Caruso and Quinn Cook. Rondo probably won't see […]

Rajon Rondo Hopeful For Game 1

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (back) has looked good during recent practices and is hopeful to play in Game 1 on Friday, according to head coach Frank Vogel. He'll likely be eased back into things since he's been banged up for quite some time. His return should take away minutes from players like Alex […]

Dion Waiters Sits Out On Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Dion Waiters (head) was unable to play in Saturday's victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. He was considered a game-time decision, but did not suit up at all. Waiters was reportedly dealing with a migraine, so it doesn't sound like something that will sideline him for too long. J.R. Smith saw […]
