DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/21/19): NBA DFS Lineups
I won't pretend as if I found no pleasure in All-Star Weekend. It was fun. The dunk contest, while anticlimactic, did provide me with the Oscar-worthy, short film comedy that was the John Collins air plane dunk. Hamidou Diallo Vince Carter-ing over Shaq was impressive. And, while Dennis Smith Jr. missed eleventy attempts, he had […]
Andre Roberson Could Play This Season
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Andre Roberson (knee) could still be able to return this season, according to head coach Billy Donovan.

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/14/19): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
Just three games on the slate which means that the All-Star Break is finally here.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 2/14/19 - Monkey Knife Fight
It’s the last night of games before the NBA All-Star break, but that still leaves some opportunities on the floor to cash in with Monkey Knife Fight.

Jerami Grant Won't Play on Thursday
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jerami Grant (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Grant was unable to play on Monday, so Patrick Patterson drew the start. Deonte Burton played much better than Patterson is that game, so he'll be the better fantasy option for Thursday.
Dennis Schroder Won't Play on Thursday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Dennis Schroder (personal) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Schroder is still out after the birth of his child, so fantasy owners can expect him back after the All-Star break. Raymond Felton should soak up a majority of the backup guard minutes behind Russell Westbrook.
Jerami Grant is Doubtful for Thursday
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jerami Grant (ankle) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Head coach Billy Donovan hinted that Grant didn't looked too good, so there's a strong possibility of Grant sitting this one out. Patrick Patterson would get the start, but he won't offer much in terms of fantasy production.
