DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/22/23): NBA DFS Lineups

There are four games on the DraftKings main slate tonight, but FanDuel did its own thing (what's new) and has included the earlier Knicks-Raptors game in their main slate schedule. That game should be competitive, but its 222-point implied total is the lowest on the slate by a wide margin, and I'm not loving targeting […]

Tyrese Maxey Leads Sixers To Victory Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey marked his return to the starting lineup on Saturday with a game-high 32 points in a 129-127 victory over Sacramento. He shot 12-for-29 from the field and 2-for-8 from behind the arc, adding three rebounds and six assists in 41 minutes. Maxey took the reins offensively after Joel Embiid (foot) […]

James Harden Won't Play Against Sacramento

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (foot) won't play on Saturday versus Sacramento. The 33-year-old will get the night off to rest the right foot injury that held him out for nearly a month. Without Harden on the floor, De'Anthony Melton may take his spot in the lineup. Melton has started 33 times throughout the 2022-23 […]

Joel Embiid Could Miss Saturday's Game

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The superstar big man was a late addition to the injury report, which is concerning. It sounds like the Sixers are debating on sitting Embiid and letting him rest with the team not playing again until Wednesday. His […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/21/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We've got a six-game slate and plenty of intriguing spots to work with. The 76ers-Kings game is the top matchup to target for DFS tonight, but the Hornets-Hawks and Rockets-Timberwolves are also appealing game environments. We typically don't want to exclude games on a short slate like this one, and that's especially true when star […]

James Harden Bags Another Triple-Double In Win

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden collected his fourth triple-double of the season in a 10-point win over the Portland Trail Blazers. The 33-year-old registered 16 points, 10 rebounds, and 14 assists on 6-for-11 shooting and 3-for-4 from the line. While Harden's scoring isn't what it used to be, his all-around contributions have still made him […]

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid secured his seventh game in a row with at least 30 points in a 105-95 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday.

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/19/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We have five games today, but even though the NBA wants to go international, DraftKings and FanDuel both lopped that game off the schedule. And then there were four.

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/15/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We have another smaller slate in the NBA tonight with an exciting five-gamer featuring the 76ers-Lakers nightcap.

James Harden Tallies 31 Points, 11 Assists Versus Utah

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden posted his fifth consecutive double-double in Saturday's matchup against Utah, helping the team to a narrow 118-117 victory. His final assist came when Joel Embiid hit the game-winner with 5.1 seconds left on the game clock. Before helping Embiid to ice the game, Harden scored 18 points in the fourth […]

Georges Niang Available On Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Georges Niang (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. The 29-year-old has been cleared to play after missing morning shootaround due to a non-COVID related illness. Normally, Niang isn't worth looking at as a streaming option. However, Tobias Harris (knee) is sidelined on Saturday, so Niang is likely to […]

Tobias Harris Ruled Out On Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. The 30-year-old will sit out this game due to left knee soreness. In his absence, De'Anthony Melton will move into the starting five. He played well earlier in the season when Tyrese Maxey was sidelined. That being said, […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/14/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a smaller slate to work with in the NBA tonight, which is what we typically see on weekends. All six matchups are viable to target in DFS contests tonight, but we have a situation where the Pacers will be extremely shorthanded, and DraftKings didn't get around to pricing the rotational players up yet. […]

Real or Fake? Fantasy Basketball Players Whose Stats Will Regress In 2023

With the NBA season nearing its halfway point, we have a pretty healthy sample size when it comes to player stats. Rather than relying solely on offseason speculation, gut feelings, and hot takes, we now have hard data to form our opinions on. Sure, the majority of a player's counting stats will likely remain the […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/12/23): NBA DFS Lineups

Joel Embiid Starting Tuesday Against Detroit

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) will play and start against the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday. Embiid was questionable to play with foot soreness but will play through the discomfort, ending a three-game absence. If Embiid is limited in any way, Montrezl Harrell and P.J. Tucker would likely pick up the slack.

P.J. Tucker Likely To Suit Up On Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward P.J. Tucker (illness) has officially been listed as probable to play against the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday night. He was forced to miss the team's last contest due to a non-COVID illness, but it looks like that eased up enough for him to take the court a couple of days later. The […]

Joel Embiid Listed As Questionable For Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) is considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The big man has missed each of the last three games due to left foot soreness.

Early-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 13

The NBA season has been a roller coaster already for many fantasy basketball managers.
