Dwyane Wade Out on Monday

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This will be Wade's fourth game sidelined and he could be looking at a few more since hamstring issues often linger. Fantasy owners may want to drop Wade at this point because he'll likely be out a couple […]

James Johnson Plays Well Against Lakers

Miami Heat forward James Johnson continued his efficient play on Friday night in the narrow win over the Los Angeles Lakers. Johnson got the start at the four spot and played 25 minutes, finishing the game with 12 points. He also contributed seven boards, five assists, three steals and a block to supplement his subpar […]

Goran Dragic Stays Hot Against Los Angeles

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic played well against the youthful Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. With Dwyane Wade (hamstring) and center Hassan Whiteside (hip) both out nursing their respective injuries, Dragic was ready to take on an additional workload. The All-Star contributed 30 points on 10-for-18 shooting from the field and an efficient 4-for-7 from […]

Josh Richardson is Doubtful on Friday

Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson (foot) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He missed Wednesday's contest and that was his first absence of the season. He was the only Heat player to start every game before this injury occurred. Justise Winslow, Tyler Johnson, and Wayne Ellington will continue to see increased […]

Goran Dragic Leads All Scorers With 33 Points

Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic dominated the Sacramento Kings defense Wednesday night, tying his season high with 33 points on 11-for-21 shooting. Dragic had no problem weaving through the paint but did not contribute much else on the stat sheet outside of points. Dragic remains a low-end scoring point guard who struggles with inconsistency, […]

Josh Richardson Ruled Out Wednesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson (foot) will sit out Wednesday night against the Sacramento Kings. This comes as no surprise, as Richardson was designated as doubtful coming into the contest. With Dwyane Wade (hamstring) also out, the Heat will likely go with a committee of Rodney McGruder, Wayne Ellington and Justise Winslow to fill in. […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (3/14/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

After a massive Tuesday night slate, the NBA only has four games on Wednesday. As a result of injuries, some of the matchups that would have normally been a runaway are now projected to be closer and tightly contested. Of the players who are on the injury report, many of them are listed as game-time decisions […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/14/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a smaller four game NBA slate to get us through this hump day and there are some interesting options across the board. Not a ton of injuries as of right now, so lineup construction should be pretty straight forward, which could make it difficult to get some of the bigger name players into the same […]

Josh Richardson is Doubtful on Wednesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson (ankle) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Dwyane Wade (hamstring) and Hassan Whiteside (hip) have already been ruled out for this contest. The Heat could be short-handed for this contest if Richardson sits as well. He played just 16 minutes in the loss to the Blazers on […]

Dwyane Wade Out on Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (hamstring) is listed as out for Wednesday's contest versus the Sacramento Kings. He was unable to suit up for Monday's game after straining his hamstring on Saturday. This information is from the game notes, so there is a small chance that Wade does play. Wayne Ellington, Tyler Johnson and Justise […]

Hassan Whiteside Ruled Out on Wednesday

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He's missed two straight games and it appears he's headed towards a third consecutive game on the sideline. This information is from the game notes, so there is a small chance that his status does change. Bam Adebayo […]

NBA Injuries and Who Can Benefit Instead (Week 22)

It’s the final week in most fantasy hoops leagues, and as usual for this time of the year, we have a handful of injuries that we have to work through. For those of you in leagues around 10-12 teams, things shouldn’t be as difficult as it relates to availability in the waiver wire. However, when […]

Hassan Whiteside Ruled Out on Monday

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He missed Saturday's game as well and the team is calling it "left hip pain," but they don't have more details than that. Kelly Olynyk and Bam Adebayo will see increased minutes and value without Whiteside in […]

Dwyane Wade Ruled Out Monday

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It's unclear when Wade suffered this injury, but he did only play 15 minutes in his last contest on Saturday. Hamstring injuries have a tendency to linger, so fantasy owners may not want to hold onto Wade […]

NBA Weekly Streamers for Week 22 (March 12 - March 18)

It's playoffs time!!! Forget sentiment. Forget the love you've gotten from a player throughout the year. If his schedule does not fit with the rest of your team, and he is not indispensable, he's out! Waiver wire gold is awaiting and don't miss out just because Delon Wright used to bring you defensive stats that […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (3/12/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

I was expecting a monstrous slate since the NCAA will be dormant for a few days, but the NBA didn't take advantage and left us with a four-gamer. Normally, this is where I'd say - but, it's a really nice looking four gamer! That is not the case today, as this is one of the […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/12/18): NBA DFS Lineups

There are not many games tonight and there is less value. Your best chance of coming away with some cash is to take your chance on one sleeper pick, while taking safer mid-level priced options. It isn't the prettiest slate of games from a DFS standpoint, especially with most of the teams playing Monday night […]

Kelly Olynyk Posts Double-Double Saturday

Miami Heat forward/center Kelly Olynyk was able to get ample playing time with Hassan Whiteside (hip) out Saturday night against the Washington Wizards. With teammate Bam Adebayo in foul trouble and Miami holding a large lead for most of the game, Olynyk picked up a double-double off the bench with 13 points and 11 rebounds. […]

Goran Dragic Takes Back Seat In Win

Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic was not needed offensively in the blowout win over the Washington Wizards Saturday. Dragic posted 10 points on 4-for-6 shooting with three assists and two rebounds in just 19 minutes. On a night where eight Heat players scored in double figures, Dragic was able to rest up ahead of […]

Josh Richardson Goes Perfect From The Field Saturday

Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson did not miss a shot in the blowout win over the Washington Wizards Saturday. Richardson only played 21 minutes with the game well in hand, but scored 13 points on 6-for-6 shooting and contributed four assists and two steals. Teammate Dwyane Wade (hamstring) left Saturday's game with a mild hamstring […]

James Johnson Torches Wizards

Miami Heat forward James Johnson could not be stopped Saturday, leading Miami to a blowout win over the Washington Wizards. Johnson scored a team-high 20 points on a blistering 8-for-9 shooting, while also contributing five assists in just 20 minutes. Johnson was exceptional Saturday, but this can be noted as an anomaly considering he's scored […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (3/10/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Five total games tonight, but FanDuel's main slate is only covering four. At first thought the Hornets-Suns game seems like an easy game to gloss over but there is a ton value to be found. First off, the upside-riddled Devin Booker should have minimal pressure on him tonight. His toughest competition would be Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, […]

NBA DFS Risers and Fallers for Week 21

We've reached peak tank season, and it's coupled with "let's see what these bench guys are capable of" (on good teams, mind you, the bad ones have long been playing reserves) season. As teams have just 15-18 games left on their schedule, playoff teams are tapering their starters minutes in preparation for the playoff stretch […]

Wayne Ellington is Probable Against Sixers

Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (thigh) is probable to play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. He's missed four straight games, but went through shootaround and is on track to play Thursday. Owners can pencil Ellington back into your lineups as long as he doesn't suffer a setback in warmups. However, the Heat are healthy […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/8/18): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Thursday, everyone. The association features a five-game slate with some pretty questionable matchups. Both Golden State and OKC have relatively easy games and are expected to win their respective contests by at least 10, making things tricky as they may opt to rest their core players down the stretch. Charlotte is also expected to win out […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (3/8/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Only five games tonight so let's get right into it. It's not a good night for fantasy basketball. I'll make that clear right off the bat. PLenty of funky mathups and teams that tend to focus more on hustle stats and defense more than anything. The Timberwolves-Celtics game is lined up to be close, but […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds For Week 21

The NBA is an every day business. That means Fantasy Basketball is a 24/7 sport. Remember that. While the majority of the sports world is caught up in the NCAA Tournament and March Madness, this is your opportunity to strike. Use the diversion to swoop up players while people are filling up brackets and looking at […]

Wayne Ellington is Questionable on Tuesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (thigh) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. He's missed three straight games due to a quadriceps contusion. Owners will likely need to wait until head coach Erik Spoelstra addresses the media prior to game time. Justise Winslow and Rodney McGruder have benefited the most from Ellington's absence. […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (3/6/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Pricing on this 8 game Tuesday slate is incredibly tight to start the day. Some news should come down during the day (hopefully) to loosen things up a bit. That said, this article will focus on some building blocks that I will center my teams around on Tuesday night and then filling in around as […]
