FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/29/19): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Happy Tuesday!!! Today is the 16th Tuesday since the start of what has been another glorious NBA season.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Wilson Chandler (hamstring) is expected to play in Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

What Does D'Angelo Russell's Emergence Mean for The Rest of The Nets?

It's really annoying when the intro to your article focuses on one player, and we don't even have a photo of him we can use, so enjoy this picture of Caris Levert. Before the season started, the Brooklyn Nets were not looking like a team that would be contending for anything other than reasonable draft […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/27/19): NBA DFS Lineups

In tonight's six-game slate, there is one game that is going to be the annoyance of the night, Magic versus Rockets. Everyone is contemplating James Harden. Even at a ridiculous, sky-scraping $13,700, you can't simply just say, "Oh, Chris Paul is back? Yeah, he's going to fall back down to Earth." That's a lazy assessment […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/26/19): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Saturday's NBA lineup features five games of NBA action, but they're some good ones! We get a Celtics/Warriors battle that would have been a Finals preview before Kawhi joined the Raptors, a 76ers/Nuggets game that...is actually not going to be great since Joel Embiid and Jimmy Butler are out (or probably out, in Butler's case, […]

RotoBaller NBA Recap: The James Harden Show Continues

While Friday night did have some of the NBA's brightest stars on full display, most of the actual games lacked much intrigue. The Bulls, Cavaliers, Knicks and Suns added to their loss column and remain the four most likely spots for Zion Williamson to land during the NBA Draft. However, the draft is shaping up […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/26/19): NBA DFS Lineups

With only five games total, it's unfortunate DraftKings won't consider the Pelicans-Spurs game as part of the main slate.....Selfish. Anyway, after last nights smorgasbord of competitive games, expect the complete opposite tonight. The teams that are playing aren't terrible, it's just the matchups are NOT enticing. Even though four games offers some type of variety […]

Wilson Chandler Ruled Out for Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Wilson Chandler (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets.

Joel Embiid Won't Play on Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (rest) will not play in Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The Sixers are calling it "rest", but Embiid has been dealing with back tightness lately, and that's likely played a role in it. Mike Muscala, Amir Johnson, and Jonah Bolden will split up the minutes in his absence.

Jimmy Butler is Doubtful for Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jimmy Butler (wrist) is going to see a specialist in Los Angeles, according to Shams Charania. It sounds like Butler will be with the team in Denver, but it's unlikely he suits up for the contest.

RotoBaller NBA Recap: The Forgotten Heroes

Tuesday night saw the Kawhi Leonard-less Toronto Raptors pick up their league-leading 36th W of the season, while the Deandre Ayton-less Phoenix Suns added their Western Conference-leading 38th L.

RotoBaller NBA Recap: James Harden Puts On A Show At MSG

New York City is known as the "City that never sleeps," and Knicks' coach David Fizdale probably can attest to that after last night.

Joel Embiid Has His Way Against Spurs In Home Win

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid finished with 33 points and 19 rebounds across 37 minutes in Wednesday's 122-120 victory against the San Antonio Spurs.

Jimmy Butler Remains Out Against San Antonio

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jimmy Butler (wrist) will miss Wednesday night's game against the San Antonio Spurs.
