NBA Waiver Wire: Deeper League Adds for Week 20

We're hitting the part of the season where tanking teams are starting to show their hand, and that usually leads to a fantasy goldmine with young players on those tanking teams getting a chance at starters minutes. Let's take a look at some pickups as we gear up for the playoffs. Here are today's Week 20 deeper […]

Tyreke Evans Ruled Out on Monday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (ribs) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. An MRI revealed slight cartilage damage, but Evans is considered day-to-day. "We're not expecting it to be a long absence," coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. Andrew Harrison is expected to see a higher usage rate without Evans on the […]

NBA Injuries and Who Can Benefit Instead (Week 20)

This season long pile-up of injuries has had me thinking, “Are we about to enter a Walking Dead-style apocalypse where this injury bug inevitably spreads and turns us all into walkers looking for flesh?!” This late in the year, even after the All-Star Break, injuries are commonplace. What isn’t as common as years past, is […]

Deyonta Davis Scores 14 Points in Loss to Miami

Memphis Grizzlies center Deyonta Davis matched his season high with 14 points on Saturday, shooting 6-for-11 from the field against Miami. The second-year player from Michigan State also notched seven rebounds in 23 minutes. Davis replaced Marc Gasol (rest) in the starting lineup, so don't get your hopes up of another good outing Monday against […]

Andrew Harrison Scores Team-Leading 17 Points

Memphis Grizzlies guard Andrew Harrison ended up as the team's leading scorer in Saturday's 115-89 loss to Miami, finishing with 17 points on 7-for-13 shooting. Marc Gasol (rest) and Tyreke Evans (ribs) didn't play, which helped increase Harrison's usage rate and points tally. He also had six assists and four rebounds in 28 minutes of […]

JaMychal Green Posts Double-Double Versus Miami

Memphis Grizzlies power forward JaMychal Green enjoyed his Saturday night against the Miami Heat, as he recorded his seventh double-double of the season. Green shot 5-for-10 from the floor on his way to 10 points and he grabbed 11 rebounds. He also led the team in minutes (35) with Marc Gasol (rest) out. Green has […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/24/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

There are seven games in total tonight, but FanDuel is only pulling players from six games, excluding the Orlando Magic - Philadelphia 76ers contest. Not that big of a deal, but the smaller slate of games means you are not going to be able to mess around when it comes to price. I am avoiding […]

Tyreke Evans Ruled Out on Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (ribs) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He injured his rib in the fourth quarter of Friday's loss to Cleveland. Evans was clearly in pain and headed to the locker room and did not return to the contest. He will be kept out of the […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/23/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We're back to another huge Friday slate! We had six games last night to wet our whistles, but it's now time for a slate with double digit games. It seems as if most player's price tags dropped a bit from the All Star Break, which gives up a lot of good value, even if they […]

Chandler Parsons Misses Practice

Memphis Grizzlies forward Chandler Parsons (knee) did not practice on Thursday. Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said that Parsons' absence was due to his knee injury. He returned to the lineup on Feb. 14 but is in danger of missing Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Grizzlies will give Parsons plenty of rest in the […]

Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers: The All-Star Break

Hey y'all! We've reached the All-Star break, which means we don't have any basketball games again until next Thursday, unless you count the All-Star Game itself, which is technically basketball and technically will happen this week. Will this new format help the game? Probably not! We'll still see a final score somewhere in the 180-190 […]

Chandler Parsons' Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

Memphis Grizzlies forward Chandler Parsons returned on Wednesday but could see less playing time in the second half. Parsons played for the first time since Dec. 27, but fantasy owners should not get their hopes up. He played 12 minutes, scoring five points with one rebound and two assists. When healthy, Parsons can be a […]

Andrew Harrison's Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

Memphis Grizzlies guard Andrew Harrison has shot his way into consistent minutes in the Grizzlies rotation. Harrison has played at least 30 minutes and scored 23 or more points in two of his last three games. The one dud came against Russell Westbrook, and Harrison picked up five quick fouls, which led to him only […]

Jarell Martin Provides a Spark Off the Bench

Memphis Grizzlies power forward Jarell Martin logged 31 minutes off the bench on Wednesday against the Thunder, finishing with 17 points on 7-for-12 shooting. He's been relegated to the bench recently after JaMychal Green returned from injury, but Green was fighting an illness in the 121-114 loss and ended up playing just 19 minutes. Martin […]

Dillon Brooks Solid on Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Dillon Brooks continued with his recent solid play on Wednesday, scoring 14 points against the Oklahoma City Thunder on 6-for-15 shooting. The 22-year-old rookie also had five rebounds, three assists and a steal. Brooks has reached double figures in points 12 times in the last 14 games. His minutes have been steadily […]

Marc Gasol Just Misses a Double-Double

Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol had a tough night from the field in Wednesday's loss to Oklahoma, shooting 4-for-11 and missing all three attempts from deep, but he still flirted with a double-double. Gasol had 10 points and recorded nine assists in 30 minutes. He started February with a 19-point, 14-rebound double-double at Detroit, but […]

Tyreke Evans Stuffs the Stat Sheet Against Thunder

Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Tyreke Evans had a superb outing in his second game back with the team, as he scored 23 points on 8-for-18 shooting in Wednesday's loss to the Thunder, dropping four three-bombs along the way. He also notched nine rebounds and seven assists. It was very surprising to see Evans stay in […]

Andrew Harrison Scores Career-High 28 Points

Memphis Grizzlies guard Andrew Harrison went a perfect 5-for-5 from deep Wednesday against the Thunder on his way to a career-high 28 points. He shot 10-for-16 overall in 33 minutes on the floor before getting tossed near the end for a second technical foul. Harrison has been really inconsistent in his second year in the […]

Chandler Parsons And JaMychal Green Will Play Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies forwards Chandler Parsons (knee) and JaMychal Green (illness) will be available for Wednesday night's contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Parsons has been out since early December with knee soreness but relayed he is ready to make his return in their last game before the All-Star break. Meanwhile, Green was feeling a little […]

Chandler Parsons Could Play on Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Chandler Parsons (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Parsons "plans" to play on Wednesday, but will be under heavy restrictions. He has missed 20 straight games and has not played in a game since December 27, but could return on Wednesday. He's not someone worth targeting in […]

JaMychal Green is Questionable on Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center JaMychal Green (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Chandler Parsons (knee) is also listed as questionable, but the team may elect to be cautious with Parsons and rest him into the break. Jarell Martin would see increased playing time without Green in the rotation. Both […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds for Week 18

A lot will change after the NBA All-Star break. Young players will get more run, older players will take more rest days and certain players will come out of nowhere to win fantasy basketball championships. If your fantasy team is sitting comfortably near the top, it might be worth using a roster spot on a […]

Making Sense Of The Trade Deadline - Part 2

Last week we took a look at a few of the early deadline deals.  Now we'll take a look at the last minute deals that took place in the lead up to the NBA trade deadline. This year's busy trade deadline saw a flurry of moves. We'll only be looking at the moves that are […]

Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers for Week 18 (Trade Deadline Edition)

The trade deadline hit big time on Thursday, with a ton of players changing teams and a ton of other players impacted by those moves, so I thought it would be a good idea to do a special edition of this week's risers and fallers column that focuses exclusively on how the deadline deals matter […]

James Ennis Traded to Pistons

The Memphis Grizzlies have decided to move guard/forward James Ennis in exchange for Detroit Pistons power forward Brice Johnson and a second-round pick. Ennis should add some depth and length to the Pistons perimeter, but this move does not increase his fantasy value. Johnson will be the third-string power forward behind JaMychal Green and Jarell […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds for Week 17

By the time you read this, your favorite fantasy basketball player may be suiting up for another team.

Whether it's the front office wanting to see what kind of […]

Marc Gasol Has Quiet Night Against Atlanta

Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol never managed to get going on Tuesday against the Hawks, finishing with just eight points on 3-for-7 shooting. Gasol grabbed six rebounds in the game, but he was limited to just 19 minutes as Memphis went down big early and never recovered. Gasol is still one of the league's top […]
