DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/23/18): NBA DFS Lineups

With nine games on the slate, I can already tell you that the Pelicans-Kings will be one of the higher scoring contests. I'm also eyeing the Celtics-Hornets game for assured value, but I will be mostly focusing on three games, NOP @ SAC, CHA @ BOS, and LAC @ GS. The Pelicans should have no […]

Justise Winslow Is Slated To Play Against The Bucks

Miami Heat small forward/power forward Justise Winslow (ankle) will play versus the Bucks. He struggled the three games before missing Thursday 's game against the Rockets. The 22-year-old will likely once again be in the starting lineup and with Goran Dragic (knee) out for a while, he is worth owning in standard leagues.

Miami Heat small forward Derrick Jones Jr. continued to impress on Thursday, coming off the bench to score 15 points in a 101-99 win over Houston.

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (ankle) will be active, but not suit up Thursday night against the Houston Rockets. Winslow will join teammates Goran Dragic and Dion Waiters on the bench for Thursday's contest. Tyler Johnson jumps into the starting lineup and should see a large amount of minutes, justifying him as a solid DFS […]

Justise Winslow is Questionable for Thursday

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. Winslow did not practice on Tuesday or Wednesday, so he seems doubtful for Thursday. Wayne Ellington and Dwyane Wade should benefit the most if Winslow is out. Fantasy owners will need to check back closer to game […]

Clippers, Heat, Mavericks, Rockets. That's all we get tonight in the NBA. And with no NFL action on tap, most sports fans' eyes will be glued to TNT for this sneakily intriguing doubleheader.

Josh Richardson, Justise Winslow Miss Tuesday's Practice

Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson (hip) and forward Justise Winslow (ankle) did not practice on Tuesday, but are considered probable for Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets.

Miami Heat shooting guard/small forward Dwyane Wade recorded 19 points on 6-for-12 shooting and added six rebounds with two assists to help propel his club to Sunday's victory. Wade missed a game earlier in the week to do a back issue but looked agile in this one, so hopefully, the issue is behind him now. […]

Josh Richardson Shoots The Ball Better In Sunday's Win

Miami Heat shooting guard/small forward Josh Richardson scored 22 points while knocking down nine of his 22 shots in Sunday's win over the Pelicans. Richardson added a single rebound with four assists and three steals in 36 minutes of action. After his rough run of shooting, J-Rich has connected on an improved 16 of 37 […]

Hassan Whiteside Posts Solid Line In Just 23 Minutes

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside posted 17 points with 12 rebounds, but once again did not see any action in the close fourth quarter in Sunday's win over the Pelicans.

The 22-year-old finished with two points on 1-for-4 shooting from the floor along with three assists and two rebounds over 15 minutes. It is […]

Dwyane Wade is Questionable on Sunday

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (soreness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Wade sat out on Friday, so maybe he's rested enough to play on Sunday. Otherwise Tyler Johnson and Justise Winslow should benefit the most with Wade out. Johnson is an interesting DFS option with extended playing time.

Tyler Johnson is Probable on Sunday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (hip) is probable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Johnson has played the last two games despite dealing with a hip issue. Goran Dragic (knee) is listed as out for Sunday, so Johnson would see increased playing time without Dragic in the rotation. Johnson is worth a look […]

Dwyane Wade Questionable For Sunday’s Game

Miami Heat shooting guard Dwyane Wade is listed as questionable to play Sunday versus the New Orleans Pelicans due to general soreness. The 36-year-old Wade did not suit up for Friday’s win over the Memphis Grizzlies, his first absence in nearly a month. Wade has averaged 12.3 points per game in six December contests, traveling […]

Goran Dragic To Remain Sidelined Sunday

Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic will miss his third straight game Sunday against the New Orleans Pelicans, having sat out 12 of his team’s last 14 games due to a knee injury. The Heat have used a point guard by committee in his absence, with Tyler Johnson seeing a large amount of run at […]

Josh Richardson Scores 18 Points Against Grizzlies

Miami Heat small forward Josh Richardson scored 18 points on 7-for-17 shooting in Friday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies. He also added seven assists and five rebounds. Richardson is averaging 18.5 points per game this season, though before Friday he'd finished below his season averages in five consecutive games. The Heat face the Pelicans on […]

Hassan Whiteside And Justise Winslow In starting Lineup

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside (personal) will be back in the starting lineup against the Grizzlies on Friday night after missing four straight games for the birth of his son. With Whiteside being away from the team for the past week, it is possible he will not see his usual workload. However, he should still […]

Hassan Whiteside Will Return on Friday

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside (personal) returned to the team and practiced on Thursday. He will play in Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies after missing the last four games due to the birth of his child. He's expected to play his normal minutes and Bam Adebayo will move to the second unit. It's safe […]

Dwyane Wade is Questionable on Friday

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. It's unclear how significant this illness is at the moment, so fantasy owners will likely have to wait until closer to game time. Wayne Ellington, Rodney McGruder, and Tyler Johnson (hip) would see extra minutes with Wade sidelined.

Justise Winslow is Expected to Play on Friday

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (calf) is probable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Winslow played on Wednesday, but finished with just nine points. However, Winslow was on fire before that contest, so hopefully he can stay hot. He'll be someone worth looking at as a cheap option in DFS contests.

Tyler Johnson is Probable on Friday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (hip) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Johnson drew the start for Goran Dragic (knee) on Wednesday, but scored just three points. Dragic won't play on Friday, so Johnson is in line for another start. However, Johnson has not been consistent, so he should be […]

Goran Dragic Ruled Out For Friday’s Game

Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic has already been ruled out for Friday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies due to the knee injury that has cost him 11 of his last 13 contests. The Heat backcourt has been a hodgepodge of players playing piles of minutes, with all those same candidates in line to see […]
