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.

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.

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 […]

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.

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.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/6/18): NBA DFS Lineups

There are eight games on the slate tonight and all but two are intra-conference matchups. With the Heat and the Trail Blazers on the second night of a back-to-back, both who are coming off of wins but Bradley Beal has the highest upside on both teams. If you are looking for games to stack, the […]

Tyler Johnson is Questionable for Monday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (quadriceps) is considered questionable for Monday's game against the Phoenix Suns.

Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (thigh) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It sounds like Ellington will be sidelined for his third straight contest, while Tyler Johnson (quadriceps) is questionable for this contest.

This brings Richardson's season averages to 1.7 threes, 1.5 steals and 0.9 blocks. This type of defensive […]

Hassan Whiteside Grabs 19 Boards

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside was extremely active on the glass in Saturday night's win over the Detroit Pistons.
