Bam Adebayo Grabs Nine Rebounds In Win

Miami Heat power forward/center Bam Adebayo played just 17 minutes in his club's close win over the Washington Wizards. Adebayo still managed to make an impact at the defensive end where hauled down nine rebounds but shot just 1-for-4 from the floor for four points while committing three turnovers on the night. Adebayo will have […]

Hassan Whiteside Just Misses A Double-Double

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside put up another solid line as he just missed a double-double by a single point. Whiteside shot 3-for-6 from the floor and 3-for-5 from the line as he scored nine points while snagging 10 rebounds with a block in 29 minutes.

Goran Dragic Struggles From The Field

Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic struggled mightily from the floor on Thursday as he connected on just three of his 18 attempts in the win. Dragic managed to only score eight points but salvaged his line by dishing out eight assists and grabbing six rebounds with a block and a steal. John Wall won […]

Dwyane Wade Expected to Play on Thursday

Miami Heat shooting guard Dwyane Wade (rest) is expected to play in Thursday's contest against the Washington Wizards. It's the second game in a back-to-back set, so usually a veteran like Wade would rest. However, the Heat are banged up and need all the help they can get right now. Wade should see minutes in […]

Dion Waiters, James Johnson Will Sit Out on Thursday

Miami Heat guard/forward Dion Waiters (ankle) and forward James Johnson (hernia) will both remain on the sideline for Thursday's game. There have not been any reports of Waiters increasing activity at practice. His timetable remains a question mark at the moment. Johnson should return to action shortly. He could be back in the rotation as […]

Justise Winslow is Doubtful on Thursday

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (hamstring) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. This is the second game of a back-to-back set and Winslow sat out on Wednesday. It's highly unlikely that Winslow is ready to play without any practice time beforehand. Rodney McGruder and Derrick Jones Jr. should see increased playing time, […]

Wayne Ellington is Questionable on Thursday

Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. Ellington was forced to miss all of the preseason and the first game of the season due to a sore left ankle. The Heat have multiple players likely watching from the sidelines on Thursday. Josh Richardson should see […]

With the MLB postseason in full swing, the NFL season approaching its midway point, and more importantly, the NBA back in action, there is no better time of year to be a sports fan.

We are officially on our second day of NBA DFS basketball and Thursday's three game slate has a lot to live up to. There are already plenty of names starting to emerge and unfortunately for the Miami Heat, they will be the only team on the second night of a back-to-back. A little cruel, but […]

Hassan Whiteside Posts A Massive Double-Double

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside put up a big double-double as he grabbed a game-high 18 rebounds to go along with 14 points in 34 minutes of action against the Orlando Magic. Whiteside added two blocks with a steal and even got up a shot from three to go along with playing seven minutes in […]

Bam Adebayo Provides Spark Off The Bench

Miami Heat power forward/center Bam Adebayo provided energy off the bench for his squad in his club's season opener. Adebayo scored nine points on nine shots while grabbing eight rebounds and even managed a couple of assists in 22 minutes off the bench. Adebayo is a lock for 20 or more minutes a night off […]

Kelly Olynyk Puts Up A Dud

Miami Heat power forward/center Kelly Olynyk could not get things going against the Orlando Magic in his club's season opener. Olynyk scored just four points and added one rebound in just 15 minutes of action off the bench. Bam Adebayo looked great tonight as did Hassan Whiteside and these two players will cut into Olynyk's […]

Goran Dragic Puts Up An Efficient Line

Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic looked great as he shot 9-for-14 from the floor en route to a team-high 26 points. The Dragon added four assists with four rebounds and even added a block with three makes from downtown with a team-high plus-20 on the night. Dragic looks to be 100% as he enters […]

Josh Richardson Scores 21 Points On 21 Shots

Miami Heat shooting guard/small forward Josh Richardson went 8-for-21 for 21 points against the Orlando Magic in his club's season opener against the Orlando Magic. J-Rich also managed to get up 10 shots from three as he connected on just two of them but managed to grab five rebounds and dished out three assists on […]

Dwyane Wade Flirts With A Double-Double

Miami Heat shooting guard Dwyane Wade did a bit of work off the bench but struggled from the floor as his club lost by three points. Wade managed to connect on just three of his 13 attempts from the floor to finish with nine points but was great on the glass as he snagged 11 […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/17/18): NBA DFS Lineups

This feels right. Yesterday was nice, but to be fair, those teams are always nationally televised. This is where we get to the real nitty-gritty DFS nonsense that we all love. A fat 12-game slate to start off the year for everyone and the options for value are endless. The first few games of the […]

Justise Winslow and Wayne Ellington Out

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (hamstring) and Wayne Ellington (ankle) have been downgraded to out Wednesday night against the Orlando Magic. Both Winslow and Ellington came into the night listed as doubtful, so this should be of no surprise. However, their availability for Thursday night's game against the Washington Wizards is also in questions. In […]

Wayne Ellington, Justise Winslow Doubtful for Wednesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (ankle) and forward Justise Winslow (hamstring) are listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Ellington was able to practice on Monday, but it doesn't seem likely that he'll be ready for game action. Winslow has been limited in practice, so his status remains doubtful for Wednesday as […]

Dion Waiters is Sidelined for Wednesday's Season Opener

Miami Heat guard Dion Waiters (ankle) is not going to be active for Wednesday's regular season opener against the Orlando Magic. Waiters had ankle and foot surgery back in January, but doesn't seem to have made much progress. Wayne Ellington (ankle) could be sidelined on Wednesday as well. That means Josh Richardson will be looking […]

How To Find Value In Fantasy Basketball Auction Drafts

Often I've been asked by fantasy players if they've gotten a good value for a certain player in an auction draft, but without the person giving me an entire breakdown of their draft, I have to give my decision on if I like the pick based off of the player's perceived value. Writers often look […]

NBA Skill Set Scarcity: Where Are the Efficient Bigs?

I'm a huge fan of Jrue Holiday. I truly believe he might be the most underrated point guard of our generation in both real life and for many years, in fantasy too. He's an elite defender who has finished better than the 90th percentile in on/off opponents' point per possession numbers in his career, with […]

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Oh, the fantasy basketball sleeper. It is a term that is often discussed and heavily debated.
