Joel Embiid Posts A Big Double-Double Against Chicago

Philadelphia 76ers power forward Joel Embiid strengthened his MVP case with a 37-point, 16-rebound double-double in Monday's 109-105 double-overtime loss to Chicago. This was a very low-scoring contest for a game that needed two overtimes to decide the winner, but Embiid still crushed it and racked up the stats. He added an assist, a steal […]

P.J. Tucker To Miss Monday's Game

Philadelphia 76ers forward P.J. Tucker (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The veteran forward will miss his second straight game due to left ankle soreness. In his absence, Jalen McDaniels, Georges Niang, and Danuel House Jr. will all see increased playing time. On Sunday, House moved into the starting […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/20/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We're set for a six-game slate Monday night that features some heavier favorites than usual, but a pair of very narrow spreads as well. There are also three games with projected totals above 230 points, certainly encouraging from a DFS perspective. There are plenty of teams in both conferences still alive for postseason contention of […]

P.J. Tucker Questionable For Monday

Philadelphia 76ers forward P.J. Tucker (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The veteran didn't play in Saturday's meeting with Indiana, allowing Danuel House Jr. to roll with the first five and finish with three points in 19 minutes. House will have limited fantasy value if Tucker misses his second consecutive contest, […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/19/23): NBA DFS Lineups

It's a glorious Sunday, and we have our typically small five-game slate on tap for tonight's main slate in the NBA. The Clippers-Blazers and Raptors-Bucks matchups hold the high implied totals, but we'll need to consider all ten teams as it's a small slate, and there isn't much in the way of obvious value plays. […]

Tyrese Maxey Puts Up 31 Points Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey had one of his best games of the season Saturday versus Indiana, finishing a 141-121 victory with 31 points on 12-for-18 shooting. He has scored more points on only three occasions this season. Maxey wasn't all about scoring either, notching two rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 35 minutes. […]

De'Anthony Melton, Danuel House Jr. Starting On Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton and forward Danuel House Jr. will move into the starting five for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The Sixers will shake up their starting unit with James Harden (foot) and P.J. Tucker (ankle) both sidelined on Saturday. Melton is looking like an excellent streaming option and is worth adding […]

P.J. Tucker To Sit Out On Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers forward P.J. Tucker (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He was listed as questionable for this game, but the team will ultimately hold him out considering it's the second game of a back-to-back set. Luckily, Jalen McDaniels (hip) has been cleared for this game. He's expected to […]

James Harden Ruled Out For Saturday's Game

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Sixers will play it safe and rest Harden. He'll be joined by P.J. Tucker (ankle) on the sideline for Saturday's contest. That being said, De'Anthony Melton and Shake […]

The Cut List - Who To Drop for Fantasy Basketball Week 23

What's up, RotoBallers! We're getting into the playoffs for most leagues at this point if you're not already there. Some teams are going full force into tanking mode and others are getting ready to rest players so that they have a healthy squad for the NBA Playoffs. So, let's dive into these murky waters and […]

P.J. Tucker Dealing With Sore Left Ankle

Philadelphia 76ers forward P.J. Tucker (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game in Indiana. The veteran has averaged only 3.4 points this season, so a possible absence shouldn't impact many fantasy managers, although it may open up a spot in the rotation for Jaden McDaniels (hip). However, he's also questionable, so guys like Georges Niang, Paul […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/18/23): NBA DFS Lineups

Welcome to the weekend, RotoBallers, and happy March Madness for all those who celebrate. We have our typical small slate on tap in the NBA tonight, and it's highlighted by four games with implied totals of at least 232 points.

James Harden Picks Up A Triple-Double In Friday's Win

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden came away with his fifth triple-double of the season Friday when the team demolished Charlotte 121-82. The Beard had a mighty struggle shooting the basketball, going 4-for-15 from the field and 0-for-6 from deep, but he did just enough to reach triple-double numbers, recording 11 points with 11 rebounds and […]

Joel Embiid Crushes The Hornets

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid posted a game-high 38 points, 13 rebounds, five assists and four blocks against Charlotte on Friday despite playing only three quarters. The game turned into a blowout quickly and Embiid ended up logging just 29 minutes. However, it was more than enough to produce another spectacular fantasy line. It's Embiid's […]

The NCAA tournament has grabbed the attention of many sports fans this weekend, but the NBA is still going strong and if you want to watch basketball at the highest level, then you should tune into some NBA action tonight as we have eight games going in the Association.

James Harden Collects His 32nd Double-Double On The Season

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden continues to be a force in his new role as the main distributor instead of the do-it-all type that he was in Houston. During a comeback win over Cleveland on Wednesday, he put up 28 points, 12 assists, six rebounds, and three steals on 8-for-18 shooting. He added three made […]

Joel Embiid Bolsters His MVP Case Against Cavaliers

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid became the betting favorite for MVP overnight after leading the team to a quality win that gave them a firm grip on the third seed in the East. The 29-year-old from Cameroon dropped 36 points, 18 rebounds, three assists, and four blocks while shooting 12-for-19 from the floor, 2-for-5 from […]

Jalen McDaniels Will Sit Out Versus Cavs

Philadelphia 76ers forward Jalen McDaniels (hip) will not play Wednesday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. McDaniels has a hip contusion which forced him out of their last game and will cause the forward to sit Wednesday at the least. De'Anthony Melton and Georges Niang should absorb most of the leftover minutes while Danuel House also sees […]

Jalen McDaniels Questionable For Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Jalen McDaniels (hip) is regarded as questionable for Wednesday's game against Cleveland. He was injured Sunday against Washington, and while Philadelphia head coach Doc Rivers suggested that it's not a serious issue, McDaniels hasn't been able to practice and also missed Wednesday's shootaround in the morning. It's looking likely that McDaniels will […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (3/15/23)

The last time you heard from me, I had a disappointing 1-2 night. The Golden State Warriors couldn't cover on the road against the Oklahoma City Thunder, dropping them to 7-25 away from Chase Center. My over of 229.5 between the Brooklyn Nets and Houston Rockets was looking good after a 59-point first quarter. Houston […]

Joel Embiid Needs Only Three Quarters To Extend 30-Point Streak

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid played only three quarters in Sunday's blowout win over Washington, but it was more than enough for him to record his sixth consecutive 30-point game. He put up a game-high 34 points in 31 minutes, shooting 12-for-21 from the field and 10-for-12 at the free-throw line. Embiid has been shy […]

Jalen McDaniels Exits With A Hip Problem

Philadelphia 76ers forward Jalen McDaniels featured for only eight minutes Sunday against Washington, leaving the game with a right hip contusion. He was able to put up six points and had one rebound before exiting. Sixers head coach Doc Rivers said after the game that McDaniels's injury isn't serious, so it's possible that he won't […]

Welcome to another Sunday, RotoBallers.

Joel Embiid Caps Off Another Big Night With Late Game-Winner

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid had another outstanding game Friday against Portland and finished it off by making the game-winning shot in the dying seconds. The MVP candidate nailed a tough turnaround jumper to complete a 21-point comeback and make it a 120-119 victory for Philadelphia. Embiid had a game-high 39 points on 13-for-20 shooting […]

Happy Friday RotoBallers! We have a smaller six-game slate tonight. As always, value can be found and that’s exactly what we’re going to try to do here.

3 NBA Contenders Who Could Bust In The Playoffs

At the start of every NBA season, most teams (with the exception of tanking teams), have the same dream; lifting the Larry O'Brien trophy by the end of the season. Of course, winning an NBA championship depends on many factors, most of which are outside the players, coaches, and owner's control. Assembling the most talented […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/8/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a relatively modest slate by Wednesday standards, as there are seven games on tap. Much like Monday's six-game ledger, that number of contests could be considered a perfect middle ground for those who are looking to have an easy time differentiating for tournaments without being presented with an untenable amount of decisions. The […]

Joel Embiid Takes Down T-Wolves With 39 Points

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid turned in another big performance on Tuesday night as his co-star, James Harden (foot), rested on the sidelines. The 28-year-old finished with 39 points, seven rebounds, four assists, one steal, and three blocks while shooting 13-for-22 from the floor and 4-for-4 from beyond the arc. He didn't need as many […]

James Harden Will Not Play Against T-Wolves

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (foot) has been ruled out Tuesday versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. Harden is being listed out with foot soreness, but it is likely a rest day for the veteran guard on the second night of a back-to-back. With Harden out, De'Anthony Melton and Tyrese Maxey should see extra minutes and usage. […]

Tobias Harris Will Play On Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (calf) is good to go Tuesday night versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. Harris missed Monday's game with a calf contusion, but will make his return in the second half of a back-to-back set. Jalen McDaniels figures to return to the bench after scoring 20 points in a spot start on Monday. […]
