DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (8/22/20): NBA DFS Lineups

At one point last night, the air was sucked out of everyone's lungs, and all watching Mavericks-Clippers feared the worst.

Luguentz Dort Available On Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (knee) is available for Thursday's Game 2 against the Houston Rockets. He was listed as questionable going in, but it appears he's healthy enough to play.

Luguentz Dort Questionable For Game 2

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Luguentz Dort (knee) is listed as questionable for Game 2 against the Houston Rockets on Thursday. He was called out on Wednesday, but it appears he has been upgraded to questionable now. Dort is the best chance OKC has at slowing down James Harden. Terrance Ferguson and Hamidou Diallo would be […]

Luguentz Dort Unlikely To Play Versus Houston

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (knee) is unlikely going to suit up for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Houston Rockets. Head coach Billy Donovan said Dort is progressing well and will hopefully be ready sooner rather than later. Dort was expected to be the primary defender on James Harden, so losing him is going […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (8/14/20): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a four-game slate for Friday's NBA schedule and it is quite underwhelming given the circumstances. With playoffs looming and teams uninterested in "home"-court advantage, it is not going to be teams' bright and best out there for most of the games, if at all. The only playoff scenario possibly affected comes via games […]

Dennis Schroder Available Versus Clippers

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Dennis Schroder (conditioning) is available for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He recently cleared quarantine after re-entering the bubble. Chris Paul (hand) won't be available for this one, so Schroder is expected to get plenty of run. The Thunder aren't playing for anything, but could use this game to […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (8/12/20): NBA DFS Lineups

With Damian Lillard making history, the Portland Trail Blazers squeaking out a last-minute victory to jump the 8-seed, and the San Antonio Spurs narrowly keeping their playoff hopes alive, it will be hard to top Tuesday's slate.

Chris Paul Plays Just 24 Minutes In Loss

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Chris Paul scored 14 points with seven assists in just 24 minutes on Monday. Paul added seven made free-throws, five boards, two steals and a triple in what was basically a ceded game by Oklahoma City, who rested five of their top-six scorers.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Darius Bazley scored 20-plus points for the second straight game, adding 10 rebounds for the first double-double of his career. Oklahoma City was without five of their top-six scorers in this one for various reasons, so Bazley's performance should be considered in light of that. Still, the 20-year-old has certainly flashed […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (8/10/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

After an exciting weekend of games, the NBA postseason is right around the corner.

Of course, it is crucial for […]

Danilo Gallinari Scores 20 Points In 22 Minutes

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Danilo Gallinari lived up to his reputation as a dynamic scorer against the Wizards on Sunday. He was extremely efficient across the board, as he went 6-for-8 from the field, 3-for-5 from distance and all five of his free-throws found nylon. Gallinari also chipped in two rebounds, two assists and one […]

Nerlens Noel Notches 11 Points As Starter

Oklahoma City Thunder center Nerlens Noel made his seventh start of the season on Friday, finishing a 121-92 loss to Memphis with 11 points and four rebounds. Steven Adams (leg contusion) sat this one out which gave Noel a rare start, but he had a tough matchup against Jonas Valanciunas and the whole team struggled […]
