FanDuel NBA DFS Picks for Today (Tuesday 11/19/24): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

This Tuesday, the NBA has six games on the main FanDuel slate as the NBA Emirates Cup continues. All six games are part of Group Play, which means they are conference matchups and take on a little more significance for teams trying to advance to the next stage of the tournament. To place more emphasis […]

Jaime Jaquez Jr. Sidelined On Monday

The Miami Heat announced forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game with the Philadelphia 76ers. During Sunday's matchup with the Pacers, the 23-year-old suffered a right-ankle sprain that sidelined him for the rest of the contest. With Terry Rozier (foot) also out, Jimmy Butler (ankle) will likely absorb a lot of the […]

Terry Rozier Unavailable On Monday

Miami Heat point guard Terry Rozier (foot) is unavailable for Monday's game against the 76ers due to discomfort in his right foot. Since Monday's matchup is the second half of back-to-back sets, it's likely a precautionary decision to sit the 30-year-old. On the bright side, the Heat will be glad to have Jimmy Butler (ankle) […]

Jimmy Butler Available For Monday's Matchup With 76ers

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) has been cleared to play for Monday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. Butler had missed four consecutive contests due to a right ankle sprain. He is averaging 16.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.9 assists in eight starts. Despite the 35-year-old's return, Miami will be without the services of Terry Rozier (foot) and Jaime […]

Jimmy Butler Downgraded To Out On Sunday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) won't play in Sunday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. The 35-year-old was listed as questionable. However, he'll miss his fourth-straight contest on Sunday, so his next chance to return will be on Monday night versus the Philadelphia 76ers. With that in mind, Tyler Herro, averaging 28.7 points in the […]

Jimmy Butler Uncertain For Sunday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. After missing the Heat's last three contests due to an ankle injury, the 35-year-old star could return to action and is expected to return to the starting lineup. Butler, a proven difference-maker, is averaging 16.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, […]

Jimmy Butler Still Out On Tuesday Night

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) won't play in Tuesday's game against the Pistons. This will mark his second-consecutive absence because of a sprained ankle.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. Questionable Versus Minnesota

Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Timberwolves. The 23-year-old recently missed time because of an illness.
