Tyler Johnson is Questionable for Sunday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Knicks. Johnson is dealing with left calf soreness, but it sounds like he'll attempt to play through it if possible. Wayne Ellington, Dion Waiters, and Rodney McGruder would gain playing time if Johnson sits out.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/27/19): NBA DFS Lineups

In tonight's six-game slate, there is one game that is going to be the annoyance of the night, Magic versus Rockets. Everyone is contemplating James Harden. Even at a ridiculous, sky-scraping $13,700, you can't simply just say, "Oh, Chris Paul is back? Yeah, he's going to fall back down to Earth." That's a lazy assessment […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/26/19): NBA DFS Lineups

With only five games total, it's unfortunate DraftKings won't consider the Pelicans-Spurs game as part of the main slate.....Selfish. Anyway, after last nights smorgasbord of competitive games, expect the complete opposite tonight. The teams that are playing aren't terrible, it's just the matchups are NOT enticing. Even though four games offers some type of variety […]

Josh Richardson Quiet In Friday's Win Versus Cavs

Miami Heat shooting guard/small forward Josh Richardson scored just 10 points on 2-for-7 shooting from the floor and added four assists with a triple in 37 minutes of action.

Dion Waiters Uncertain for Friday

Miami Heat guard Dion Waiters (head) did not participate in shootaround and is uncertain for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Waiters is dealing with a migraine, so this is something that should only sideline him for one game maximum.

Buy, Sell, or Hold: Beat the Trade Deadline

Usually, in this column, we take a look at a player who is in great form but is unlikely to sustain it and suggest you sell the s*** out of him before he sees a drop-off, and we find a guy who is playing poorly, but will turn it around, and point him out so […]

New York City is known as the "City that never sleeps," and Knicks' coach David Fizdale probably can attest to that after last night.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/20/19): NBA DFS Lineups

There are only three games total today so while I would love to dive into each game specifically...this slate simply doesn't need a full deep dive. Pacers and Hornets will be a battle between backccourts, with the Indiana frontcourt offering plenty of support to help the Pacers get a fairly easy win at home. Until […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/19/19): NBA DFS Lineups

To be completely honest, we have a fairly lame 8-game slate. Only two games are really projected to be high-scoring affairs, while most of the games are out-of-conference contests between a "good team" and a "bad team." I have confidence, the Bulls-Heat, Hawks-Celtics, and Pacers-Mavericks will all be worth of stacking and should dominate the […]

Tyler Johnson Posts A Solid Line In Start

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson got the start with Jason Richardson (illness) sidelined and he managed to put up a decent line in the loss to the Pistons.

Tyler Johnson is Available on Friday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was listed as questionable on Thursday after missing practice.

Josh Richardson is Questionable on Friday

Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Richardson has only missed one game this season, so it takes a lot to keep him sidelined. The Heat would likely use a committee approach to fill the void if Richardson is unable to play. Dwyane Wade and Justise Winslow […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/16/19): NBA DFS Lineups

We rebound after Tuesday's slate with eight games on Wednesday.
