P.J. Tucker Won't Play On Monday
Philadelphia 76ers center P.J. Tucker (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The veteran big man exited early on Saturday due to back spasms, so it must still be bothering him. The organization is hopeful that Tucker will be able to suit up for Tuesday's game. In the meantime, Georges […]
Tobias Harris Downgraded To Out On Monday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He was tagged as questionable heading into this game, but will ultimately sit out due to a left calf contusion. This is bad timing with P.J. Tucker (back) also sidelined on Monday. The expectation is that Georges Niang […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/6/23): NBA DFS Lineups
We're set for a solid six-game slate Monday night, the type of mid-size ledger that many might consider ideal for DFS purposes since it offers enough differentiation for tournaments without presenting us with an overwhelming number of decisions. The injury report isn't particularly extensive either, which helps keep the player pool robust. There are also […]
P.J. Tucker Officially Questionable Versus Pacers
Philadelphia 76ers forward P.J. Tucker (back) is questionable to play against the Indiana Pacers on Monday. Tucker left Saturday's game with back spasms and is now in danger of missing more time.

Tobias Harris Uncertain For Monday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game versus the Indiana Pacers. Harris suffered a calf contusion in Saturday's game and did not return after playing just 13 minutes. The Sixers are entering a back-to-back set of games and Harris is in danger of missing both. If Harris is unable […]
James Harden Shines Against Milwaukee
Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden put up a season-high 38 points and notched nine rebounds with 10 assists in Saturday's impressive 133-130 road victory against the Bucks. Led by the Beard, the Sixers came back from a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter to end Milwaukee's 16-game winning streak. Harden shot 11-for-26 from the field, […]
P.J. Tuckers Exits On Saturday With Back Spasms
Philadelphia 76ers forward P.J. Tucker (back) didn't return to Saturday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks after being ruled out with back spasms. The 37-year-old played only 19 minutes before his premature departure, totaling two points and two rebounds. Considering Tucker isn't a potent fantasy presence, his potential absence on Monday against the Indiana Pacers shouldn't […]
Tobias Harris Exits Win Over Milwaukee
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (calf) exited Saturday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks because of left calf soreness. He did not return. The veteran lasted only 13 minutes, finishing the night with three points and two rebounds.

Dewayne Dedmon Available On Saturday
Philadelphia 76ers center Dewayne Dedmon (hip) is available for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The big man has been banged up lately due to left hip soreness, but is cleared to make his team debut on Saturday. Head coach Doc Rivers mentioned it's unlikely that Dedmon gets minutes in the rotation. Possibly, Dedmon gets […]
DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/4/23): NBA DFS Lineups
Welcome to another glorious Saturday, RotoBallers. We have a typical Saturday slate on tap for tonight with five games, featuring a Wolves-Kings affair that figures to be a shootout and a Rockets-Spurs matchup in which we might see the least amount of defense ever played on an NBA court. Pricing on the stars feels pretty […]
The Cut List - Who To Drop for Fantasy Basketball Week 21
What's up, RotoBallers! We are now in the home stretch of the season as some leagues already start their playoffs and others only have a couple of weeks left.

Joel Embiid Listed As Probable Thursday
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) looks set to return to the court Thursday against Dallas, with the team listing him as probable for the contest. The Sixers started a back-to-back set Wednesday versus Miami and Embiid sat out the contest with left foot soreness. Paul Reed had a good game in Embiid's absence, notching […]
LaMelo Ball Post-Mortem: Fantasy Basketball Impact
On Tuesday, the Charlotte Hornets made it official when they shut down their star guard LaMelo Ball for the remainder of the 2022-2023 NBA season. Many fantasy managers' worst fears were realized when Ball's non-contact injury in Monday night's game against Detroit turned out to be a fractured ankle. Charlotte's season was already lost, but […]
DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/2/23): NBA DFS Lineups
A palindromic date brings us four games in the Association tonight. We already know that NBA DFS is not for the faint of heart with all of the load management issues, but tonight seems particularly tough. Like so tough that wiping your ass with 24-grit sandpaper might sound more appealing. 13 players have already been […]
Joel Embiid Downgraded To Questionable
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Miami. He's a late addition to the injury report and could now miss his first game since Jan. 21. Embiid is in the midst of a dominant season and being without him after taking back-to-back losses is far from an […]

RIVAL Fantasy NBA Over/Under DFS Prop Picks: Monday, February 27, 2023
Only four games on Monday with around 15 options to choose from.

Jayson Tatum, Joel Embiid, LaMelo Ball, and Brandon Ingram, are all likely candidates to build off of […]
DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/26/23): NBA DFS Lineups
We're set for a much quieter Monday night than usual, as there are only four games on the slate after a very busy first four days following the All-Star break. Fortunately, there aren't an inordinate amount of notable injuries, which helps keep an already abbreviated player pool from shrinking further. There's also one game with […]
Joel Embiid Bags 41 Points, 12 Rebounds Against Boston
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid dominated with 41 points against the Boston Celtics in Saturday's marquee matchup, adding 12 rebounds with five assists and three blocks. Embiid shot 12-for-21 from the field and was extremely busy at the foul line with a 17-for-18 effort. This was a fantastic performance from Embiid, but he likely would've […]
Joel Embiid Posts Huge Stat Line In Win Over Memphis
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid did not have a great shooting night by any means, but he was able to still impact the game in so many ways.

Multiple times in the fourth quarter, Harden […]
DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/24/23): NBA DFS Lineups
The NBA returned last night after a full week off and there were no shortages of surprises as Damian Lillard was randomly rested and then Fred VanVleet was a last-minute scratch, too. I know a lot of folks are pretty disheartened by the NBA injury situation and all these guys resting, teams tanking, etc... But […]
Dewayne Dedmon Listed As Questionable For Thursday
Philadelphia 76ers center Dewayne Dedmon (hip) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The big man hasn't played since early January before he joined the Sixers.

2023 Fantasy Basketball Playoffs Schedule Analysis
NBA All-Star weekend has come to a close, which means two things. One, and maybe most obvious, we're in the "second half" of the 2022-23 NBA season.

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 19: Daniel Gafford, Kyle Anderson, Terance Mann
The deeper a fantasy basketball 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 […]
Joel Embiid Posts Efficient 32 Points In All-Star Game
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid originally wasn't sure if he was even going to be healthy enough to play the All-Star game this year and went on to share the second-highest point total on Team LeBron. The superstar big man ended the game with 32 points, six rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block […]
