Derrick Jones Held Scoreless in Start

Miami Heat small forward Derrick Jones couldn't get anything to fall during his 18 minutes on the floor Friday night. He missed all of his field goal attempts and didn't connect on his only shot from behind the arc. Unfortunately, he didn't do much else on the floor, adding only three rebounds and nothing else. We […]

Goran Dragic Is Mediocre in Loss

Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic didn't have a great night against the Nets. He fell short of his season averages for points, rebounds, assists and steals. He had 17 points, four rebounds, four assists, one block and no steals or three-pointers. This was quite disappointing considering the Nets play fast-paced, which creates more opportunities […]

Josh Richardson Fills Stat Sheet in Off Shooting Night

Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson had an off shooting night on Friday against Brooklyn, going 4-for-12 from the field with one three-pointer for a total of 12 points. Richardson played a whopping 37 minutes and grabbed four rebounds, seven assists and three steals. Owners should be happy with his production, since Richardson isn't commonly owned […]

Hassan Whiteside Shines in Marvelous Matchup

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside had a great matchup on Friday night against the Brooklyn Nets, and he delivered. He scored 22 points while adding 13 rebounds, two assists and four blocks. Though he did not shoot great from the field, he made up for that with his defensive efficiency. Unfortunately, the Heat could not […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/19/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Remember last Friday when we not only had a bevy of games, but the matchups were dreamy? Hang onto that memory, because tonight is going to be an ugly one. There are seven games on the slate, and save for one or two games, we could see a lot of defensive battles. Defensive battles are […]

Derrick Jones Expected to Start on Friday

Miami Heat small forward Derrick Jones is expected to start on Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. Tyler Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out, and Jones received the start for him on Wednesday.

Look to Hassan Whiteside on Friday

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside has a very favorable matchup on the horizon on Friday as the Heat will square off with Brooklyn. The Nets defense has been slowly improving as the season continues, with one exception: they have been atrocious against centers, as they are allowing the most rebounds and blocks to opposing centers, […]

Hassan Whiteside Propels Heat With Season-High 27 Points

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside was a beast in a 106-101 win over the Bucks on Wednesday, dropping 27 points on an efficient 10 of 12 shooting. Whiteside ripped down 13 boards and also swatted away a season-high six blocks, as his buy-low window has officially closed. Whiteside is slowly coming on hot, as he's […]

Tyler Johnson Will Sit Out Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (ankle) will be in street clothes for Wednesday night's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Johnson suffered an ankle injury Monday against the Chicago Bulls and was doubtful coming into the game. The high-flying forward Derrick Jones will make another start in Johnson's absence but is a risky option for DFS. Instead, […]

Tyler Johnson Doubtful for Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (ankle) is doubtful to play against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday. According to Tom D'Angelo, the Heat will likely be without Johnson "for at least the short term." Originally the organization feared a much more serious injury when Johnson fell to the ground clutching his knee during Monday's contest. However, […]

Goran Dragic's 22 Points Not Enough For A Win

Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic's late-game heroics were not enough as Miami fell to the Chicago Bulls Monday, snapping their seven-game win streak. The Iron Shoulder was balling down the stretch, scoring 11 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter before fouling out just ahead of the final whistle. Dragic also contributed nine […]

Hassan Whiteside Limited To 20 Minutes Monday

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside was benched for most of Monday's loss against the Chicago Bulls, ending Miami's seven-game win streak. Whiteside finished with just nine points and eight rebounds and two blocks in 20 minutes of play. He did not pick up a single foul, but just seemed out of place and could not […]

Josh Richardson Stuffs The Stat Sheet

Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson did a little bit of everything Monday against the Chicago Bulls. Richardson contributed 11 points, six assists, five rebounds, three three-pointers, two steals and two blocks in 32 minutes. Rook 2, as Dwyane Wade used to call him, has been creeping into the coveted 1-1-1 group of fantasy players that […]

Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers (Week 14)

Recapping the past week of basketball in a string of words without any context: Porzingis. Lonzo??? OVERTIME. DOUBLE OVERTIME. Le...LeBron? CP3! London. Udoh again? LOU WILL LOU WILL LOU WILL.  It was a wild week in some ways. This is accidentally a guard-heavy edition of Risers and Fallers. I think part of that is because […]

Dion Waiters Expected To Undergo Season-Ending Surgery

Injury woes continue to plague the Miami Heat as guard/forward Dion Waiters (ankle) will have surgery on his left ankle and will miss the remainder of the season.
