FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/26/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
I'll be honest, I am starting to get the multi-sport cravings again. The beautiful thing about hoops is that, up through the Super Bowl, we always have another sport to play and having that really decreases the chances you get burnt out on one sport. February changes all that, and it's been a long, short […]
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/24/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
There are seven games in total tonight, but FanDuel is only pulling players from six games, excluding the Orlando Magic - Philadelphia 76ers contest. Not that big of a deal, but the smaller slate of games means you are not going to be able to mess around when it comes to price. I am avoiding […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/24/18): NBA DFS Lineups
There are a lot of solid options in the first weekend back after the horrendously long All-Star break. Due to a projected low-score and slow-pace, I am staying away from Miami/Memphis and Dallas/Utah games with OKC/Golden State and Portland/Phoenix being our highest-scoring and fastest-paced games of the day. In this article, I will be providing […]
Tyson Chandler is Doubtful on Saturday
Phoenix Suns center Tyson Chandler (neck) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He had an MRI earlier in the week and there is a good chance Chandler misses multiple games. The Suns do not plan on sitting Chandler this season, but want to make sure he's healthy and ready to play. […]
Devin Booker Provides 27 Points But Not Much Else
Phoenix Sun guard Devin Booker put up 27 points in a 128-117 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Booker did not add much else while putting up four assists, one rebound and two makes from deep on a not so efficient seven of 20 from the floor. With Elfrid Payton in town, we can expect […]
Alex Len Posts Double-Double
Phoenix Suns center Alex Len had a solid double-double of 14 points and 13 rebounds in a 128-117 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Len fared well against the Clippers' DeAndre Jordan (11 points and 13 rebounds) with Len adding a steal and a block on the night. However, Len was awful from the line (0-for-7), […]
Elfrid Payton Continues his Excellent Play
Phoenix Suns guard Elfrid Payton continued his excellent play in a loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Payton finished with a solid line of 10 points, six dimes and four rebounds to go along with three steals while making five of 11 from the floor. Payton has been a stud since the Suns acquisition of […]
T.J. Warren Fills It Up
Phoenix Suns forward T.J. Warren filled the stat sheet against the Los Angeles Clippers in a 128-117 loss. Warren finished with 27 points, eight rebounds and one from deep to go along with two steals. Warren has looked great throughout the season, and it seems like the All-Star break did him well. He should continue […]
Marquese Chriss' Struggles Continue
Phoenix Suns forward/center Marquese Chriss struggled again in a 128-117 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Chriss could not get anything going for himself, finishing 0-for-5 from the floor and 0-for-2 from the line for zero points, three rebounds and an assist. Chriss has been a big fantasy bust this season and this is another low […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/23/18): NBA DFS Lineups
We're back to another huge Friday slate! We had six games last night to wet our whistles, but it's now time for a slate with double digit games. It seems as if most player's price tags dropped a bit from the All Star Break, which gives up a lot of good value, even if they […]

Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers: The All-Star Break
Hey y'all! We've reached the All-Star break, which means we don't have any basketball games again until next Thursday, unless you count the All-Star Game itself, which is technically basketball and technically will happen this week. Will this new format help the game? Probably not! We'll still see a final score somewhere in the 180-190 […]

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hip) is going to try and play against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday.

Elfrid Payton Erupts For 29 Points
Phoenix Suns point guard Elfrid Payton was superb Monday, notching 29 points, eight boards and five dimes on 11 of 18 shooting. He was the only Suns player to have it going the entire night, and it's safe to say he's enjoying life in a Suns uniform. He won't be this good when Devin Booker […]
