FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/5/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Tuesday hits us with a five-game slate full of compelling matchups, especially now that Kevin Durant is going to be missing the next four games after entering a seven-day quarantine. Caris Levert, Kyrie Irving, and Taurean Prince all see massive bumps to their value for the next few games, but their defense as a whole […]

Josh Okogie Will Miss Tuesday’s Contest

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard/small forward Josh Okogie (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus the Nuggets. Okogie has been battling a hamstring ailment, which will now keep him out for a fourth straight game. Expect Jarrett Culver to continue drawing starts in Okogie's stead, giving him short-term season-long and DFS upside. While Okogie […]

Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers - Week 3

Ja Morant (ankle), Spencer Dinwiddie (knee), Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist), Alec Burks (ankle), […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper League Pickups: Week 3

The deeper a fantasy 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 help […]

Josh Okogie Picks Up Questionable Tag For Tuesday’s Game

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard/small forward Josh Okogie (hamstring) has been listed as questionable to play in Tuesday's contest versus the Nuggets. Despite being recently listed as having no timetable for his return, it appears that Okogie could get back in the mix sooner than expected. His absence has allowed Jarrett Culver to join the starting […]

Fantasy Basketball 9-Cat Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 3

Happy 2021! It seems strange for it to be a new year and for the NBA to only be entering its third week, but that's how things go in these strange times. This past week's highlights include the Wizards finally winning a game and the Rockets finally getting to see what John Wall could do […]

Malik Beasley Shines Against Former Team

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard Malik Beasley had a classic revenge game against the Nuggets on Sunday, scoring a season-high 25 points on 10-for-16 shooting against the team that traded him 11 months ago. He went 3-for-5 from downtown and added seven rebounds, five assists, two steals, and two blocks to polish off a big fantasy […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/3/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Happy New Year, everyone. For those looking to not move off the couch on Sunday, the NFL regular season will conclude with Week 17 on tap. On top of that, the NBA has seven games on the agenda, minus the afternoon game, to round out the evening, which will ultimately make this one of the […]

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Streamers for Week 2

Welcome to Week 2, where the sample sizes are small but the emotional overreactions are at stock market highs. It feels good when the players you drafted are balling out, but don't count your fantasy winnings yet. On the flip side, while it's painful to watch the players you birthed and nurtured throughout the draft […]

Josh Okogie Will Miss Fourth Straight Game

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Josh Okogie (hamstring) will miss his fourth game in a row on Sunday. He continues to deal with a lingering hamstring issue, so it's unclear when he'll get back on the court. Jarrett Culver and Anthony Edwards have seen more playing time in the absence of Okogie. Edwards is the better fantasy […]

Malik Beasley Scores 21 Points Versus Wizards

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Malik Beasley scored 21 points as Minnesota falls to the Washington Wizards on Friday. Beasley shot 8-for-13 from the field and 3-for-6 from three to go along with three rebounds and nothing else in 26 minutes. With Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) out, the Timberwolves have lost three straight, but Beasley has seen increased […]

Robert Williams (C, BOS): Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Celtics are lacking big men, and that's why they signed Tristan Thompson this past offseason to bolster their rotation of in-the-paint bodies for the 2021 season.

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/1/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

The new year starts off strong with a 10-game slate filled with the league's top offenses. Apologies for the late-ness, but you can find me in the NBA Chat room all the way up until tip-off to make up for today's article. Both the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks are heavy favorites to win, so […]

D'Angelo Russell Compiles Game-High 22 Points In Defeat

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell is going to have ample opportunity to score at will without Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) for the foreseeable future, with Tuesday's game-high 22-point performance beginning that ascension. Russell has served as the unquestioned No. 1 scoring option before (Brooklyn, Golden State), and his 9-for-19 shooting effort against the Clippers, including […]

Jarrett Culver Snags 10 Boards Amidst Ice-Cold Shooting

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jarrett Culver tied his career high by grabbing 10 rebounds during Tuesday's loss to the Clippers. But while he snagged double-digit boards for the second time in four games to begin 2020-21, he shot 0-for-10 from the field overall, including missing all three triples that he attempted in his 26 minutes. At […]

Josh Okogie Ruled Out Versus Clippers

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Josh Okogie (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He suffered a left hamstring strain during Sunday's contest, but hopefully he isn't going to be sidelined for long. The Wolves will likely mix in a few players to help fill the void of Okogie. Expect Jarrett […]

Jake Layman To Come Off The Bench

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jake Layman is expected to come off the bench for Tuesday's contest. The Wolves are without both Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) and Josh Okogie (hamstring) for the time being. Layman is expected to see time at both the small forward and power forward spot. There really is no upside here with Layman regardless […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Has Wrist Dislocation; Is Week-To-Week

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) has been diagnosed with a left wrist dislocation and will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis. Terrible news for Towns who has been through enough already this year, but the silver lining is this will not require surgery. Towns should be treated as extremely doubtful, if not out, for […]
