DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/2/22): NBA DFS Lineups

So here I am, pinch-hitting for the Friday NBA DFS picks. I'll tell you...after covering Thursdays so far this season, the 11-game Friday nighter makes me feel like the little frog in Frogger. So, come navigate with me across 11 games of NBA traffic to the land of DFS cash (we hope)! With both FanDuel and DraftKings […]

Nikola Jovic Questionable Again Versus Boston

Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic (foot) was forced to miss the team's last game with plantar fasciitis in his right foot. He was listed as questionable before that game as well and he carries the same status heading into the Wednesday night contest against the Boston Celtics. This type of injury usually keeps players out […]

Duncan Robinson On Track To Return

Miami Heat guard/forward Duncan Robinson is regarded as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Celtics, but he went through the shootaround and is expected to play. If he indeed returns, Robinson will be back from a four-game absence. The 28-year-old sniper has found his way back to Erik Spoelstra's plans this season and has been […]

Gabe Vincent Set To Return Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (knee) is expected to return to the lineup Wednesday against Boston. He has been dealing with a left knee issue and is regarded as questionable, but Vincent took part in the shootaround and is expected to play. The 26-year-old has missed five of the past six games. Vincent has been […]

Tyler Herro Again Listed As Questionable

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Boston. He recently returned from a left ankle sprain, but Herro has found himself back on the injury report with the same problem. It's a worrying situation for fantasy managers, but Herro hasn't missed any of the last three games despite carrying the […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 7: Shake Milton, Malik Monk, Killian Hayes

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]

Tyler Herro Notches A Triple-Double Versus Atlanta

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro shots bricks all game against Atlanta on Sunday, but he was still able to finish with his first triple-double of the campaign. Through 40 minutes of action, Herro piled up 11 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. He also had one steal and one turnover in a 106-98 win. This […]

Caleb Martin (SF, MIA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: Just in the last five games alone, Caleb Martin has played 202 minutes of basketball. That's ridiculous. That is, also, what happens when you are part of a team with a depleted rotation no matter the position in the depth chart you […]

Nikola Jovic Questionable Versus The Atlanta Hawks

Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic (foot) is questionable for Sunday's contest in Atlanta. With Miami without Jimmy Butler (knee) and Max Strus (shoulder) as of late, the rookie has filled the void in the lineup. He's averaged 9.3 points and 4.0 rebounds in his six starts this season. However, he's shot a rough 19.0% from […]

Jimmy Butler Remains Out Against Atlanta

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) isn't available on Sunday against Atlanta. The veteran has missed the last five games because of right knee soreness. However, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Butler could return for one of the team's upcoming back-to-back meetings in Boston, so there is light at the end of […]

Gabe Vincent Questionable Against Atlanta

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (knee) is questionable ahead of Sunday's game against Atlanta. A left knee injury has burdened the 26-year-old, keeping him out of the lineup for four of the Heat's last five games. With Kyle Lowry active, Vincent likely won't offer much to fantasy managers even if he plays.

Duncan Robinson Questionable On Sunday

Miami Heat forward Duncan Robinson (ankle) is questionable ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Hawks. The 28-year-old missed the last three games with a sprained ankle. However, he's averaged only 6.3 points this season. If Robinson plays, he won't be an attractive fantasy option, even with the potential to see a bump in production with […]

Caleb Martin Likely To Suit Up Versus The Hawks

Miami Heat guard Caleb Martin (illness) is expected to suit up on Sunday against Atlanta. The 27-year-old has been under the weather lately. However, he played on Friday versus the Wizards, despite carrying the same designation to finish with 20 points. With Jimmy Butler (knee) still out, Martin should be a primary contributor on the […]

Max Strus Expected To Play Against Hawks

Miami Heat guard Max Strus (shoulder) is expected to suit up against the Atlanta Hawks. The 26-year-old has played well this season, averaging a career-high 15.3 points. However, he's missed the last two games with a right shoulder injury. With Jimmy Butler (knee) out again on Sunday, Strus has the potential to see a noticeable […]

Tyler Herro Probable On Sunday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ankle) is expected to play on Sunday in Atlanta. The reigning Sixth Man of the Year missed eight games because of a sprained ankle. However, despite Herro's continuous injury designation, he's played in the last two games, most recently logging 38 minutes in Friday's win over the Wizards. Herro has […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (11/27/22): NBA DFS Lineups

We have six games lined up for the NBA main slate tonight and while there aren't any "premier" matchups, we have plenty of exciting spots to target with our DFS lineups. The Cavaliers, Grizzlies, and Celtics are the teams in the most favorable environments for daily fantasy production. We already got the news that Boston's […]

Bam Adebayo Scores Season-High 38 Points

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo was a massive problem for the Wizards on Friday, scoring a season-high 38 points on 15-for-22 shooting in a 110-107 win. He added 12 rebounds for his ninth double-double of the campaign and also dished out three assists. Adebayo has averaged fewer than 20 points a night this season, so […]

Heat Bringing Back Dru Smith

Free-agent guard Dru Smith has agreed to a two-way contract with Miami. The 24-year-old made one appearance for the Heat in October before being waived, logging six minutes and finishing with two points and a steal versus Portland. With the Heat dealing with an abundance of injuries versus Washington, Smith will be available on Friday, […]

Bam Adebayo Cleared For Action Versus Wizards

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee) will play against Washington on Friday. Adebayo was questionable heading into this one because of a left knee bruise. However, it's a good thing he's available, as Miami will at least be without Jimmy Butler (knee), Duncan Robinson (ankle), Max Strus (shoulder). Tyler Herro (ankle) remains questionable. Yet, if […]

Max Strus Not Available Against The Wizards

Miami Heat guard Max Strus (shoulder) won't play against Washington. Strus has played well this season, averaging 15.3 points in 34.1 minutes per game this season. However, he'll join Jimmy Butler (knee) and Duncan Robinson (ankle) on the sidelines, so Caleb Martin (illness) and Tyler Herro (ankle) could benefit from a production standpoint. Yet, if […]

Duncan Robinson Absent Against Washington

Miami Heat forward Duncan Robinson (ankle) won't suit up against the Wizards, marking his second straight absence because of a sprained left ankle. The 28-year-old has averaged only 8.3 points in 17.6 minutes per game this season. However, with so many of Miami's players on the injury report ahead of Friday's game, including Jimmy Butler […]

Jimmy Butler Expected Back During Road Trip

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is expected back for the team's upcoming contests in Boston, according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. The 33-year-old has already missed the previous four games because of right knee soreness, so he'll sit out a few more before he's finally ready to return. In the meantime, […]

Tyler Herro Plans To Play Versus Washington

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ankle) plans to play against Washington, according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. He's missed the last eight games due to a sprained left ankle, although it's unknown if he'll be limited. That said, Herro has averaged 19.6 points while shooting 37.5% from deep this season, so he […]

Max Strus Unavailable Wednesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Max Strus (shoulder) isn't ready to play Wednesday versus Washington. He's having issues with his right shoulder and needs some time off. Strus has been a real workhorse for the injury-hit Heat, recording multiple 40-minute outings this month. He has proven himself as a solid scorer and Strus also chips in a […]

Gabe Vincent To Remain Out On Monday

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This marks the third game in a row that Vincent will miss due to a left knee issue. His absence will mean Kyle Lowry is going to play heavy minutes as the starter. Also, Caleb Martin will see […]

Gabe Vincent Questionable For Monday

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Vincent has missed each of the last two games due to a left knee effusion. The organization is hopeful that Vincent will play on Monday, but will likely wait until pregame to make a final decision. Luckily, Jimmy […]

Caleb Martin (SF, MIA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Miami Heat are coming off the weirdest game ever in the post-COVID era of the NBA: just seven players logged at least one minute against Washington on Friday with eight of them dressing (the minimum allowed) but one not truly available […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 6: De'Anthony Melton, Tyus Jones, Caleb Martin

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]

Duncan Robinson Leaves Sunday's Game With Ankle Injury

Miami Heat guard Duncan Robinson (ankle) left the game on Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers with a sprained left ankle and he was unable to return. The 28-year-old sharpshooter registered seven points and one rebound across 21 minutes before he had to leave. Max Strus saw more playing time due to his absence. Moving forward, […]
