Jonathon Simmons Won't Play Friday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jonathon Simmons (abdominal) won't play in Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This is not surprising news as Simmons has been sidelined since late December.

Philadelphia 76ers forwards/centers Tobias Harris, Boban Marjanovic, and Mike Scott are all available for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/6/19): NBA DFS Lineups

This biggest question surrounding tonight's lineup construction will NOT be whether or not James Harden forces this game to be a blowout, but just how many points he scores on the way to this game becoming a blowout. Plenty of people will be fading Harden tonight, but you know I have optimism about this matchup […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/5/19): NBA DFS Lineups

Corey Brewer is Not Returning to 76ers

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Corey Brewer will not be returning with the Sixers after his 10-day contract expired. He filled in well for Jimmy Butler, but has basically no role on the team now that Butler has returned. He's a free agent again and doesn't hold much fantasy value anyway. Brewer should be left on the […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/3/19): NBA DFS Lineups

If you are like me, you are excited about the freedom you will have tonight and I'm not talking about DFS lineups. Tonight is the Super Bowl and I probably don't have to tell you that, but I had no clue it was Super Bowl weekend until Friday afternoon. Still not feeling well so I'll […]

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

I have the flu. I'm going to make this quick. My apologies, but hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow and return with another just, oh-so-exciting DraftKings article. Warriors-Lakers is aimed to be the highest scoring, but I would suggest targeting both the Suns-Hawks and the Kings-76ers contests if you are looking for the most upside. The […]

Wilson Chandler Out For Saturday’s Game

Philadelphia 76ers small/power forward Wilson Chandler will miss Saturday’s contest versus the Sacramento Kings due to a strained right quad.

Jahlil Okafor and Waiver Wire Story Time With Jake Finnen

As of this moment, there are few players making as big of a splash in fantasy leagues as Jahlil Okafor....

He has been […]
