DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/19/21): NBA DFS Lineups

It’s unclear if the Utah Jazz will be stopped anytime soon, with their rematch against the Clippers on Friday serving as one of many rematches of recent showdowns. Much in the ilk that it’s difficult to gauge individual player performance from game-to-game during a playoff series, it’s similarly hard during the regular season. Depending upon […]

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Malik Beasley will come off the bench on Wednesday against the Pacers as punishment for being late to the team's walkthrough.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for Wednesday (2/17/21) - Monkey Knife Fight

With three postponed games already on the schedule, Wednesday still has enough contests to make it more than worthwhile. The biggest issue with tonight is that so many teams are on the second night of a back-to-back, and normally fatigue wouldn't be a problem, but this season isn't exactly normal. Some teams like the Magic […]

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (leg) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He'll miss his eighth straight game while the team continues to gather information about the injury.

D'Angelo Russell Remains Unavailable Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell (leg) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus the Lakers, marking his fourth straight absence due to a sore left leg.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/12/21): NBA DFS Lineups

An 11-game slate is on tap, delivering a schedule chock full of fresh matchups, many […]
