Mikal Bridges Drops 27 Points Across Career-High 50 Minutes

Rest wasn't exactly in Phoenix Suns small forward Mikal Bridges' vocabulary during Sunday's win over Sacramento. Bridges utilized overtime to hit the 50-minute threshold for the first time in his career, tying his season high with 27 points on 9-for-18 shooting in that span. Bridges is the rare player to have appeared in every contest […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 22: Onyeka Okongwu, Isaac Okoro, Trey Lyles, Torrey Craig, Delon Wright

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 […]

Jae Crowder Forced To Exit Early On Sunday

Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder (ankle) was forced to exit early during Sunday's win over the Sacramento Kings. The veteran forward was taken to the locker room during the third quarter due to a right ankle sprain. He landed awkwardly on the foot of another player while shooting. It's a shame because Crowder just returned […]

Elfrid Payton Entering Starting Lineup Against Kings

Phoenix Suns guard Elfrid Payton will start against the Kings on Sunday night. Chris Paul (thumb) won't be back anytime soon, and Cameron Payne (illness) is dealing with a non-COVID-sickness, so Payton will be in line to get some extra work. However, despite the increase in minutes, Aaron Holiday may be the more attractive fantasy […]

Jae Crowder To Return From Absence Against Kings

Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder (groin) will return against the Sacramento Kings. Crowder has missed the previous two games because of left groin soreness. However, it's fortunate the team will get him back, especially with Cameron Payne (illness) and Cameron Johnson (quadriceps) both ruled out. Nevertheless, Devin Booker will likely be the Suns' top fantasy […]

Cameron Payne Out With Illness

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne (illness) won't play on Sunday in Sacramento. Fortunately, he's not dealing with COVID-19, and with the Suns not playing again until Wednesday night in Minnesota, there's a shot he will be back by then. Nevertheless, Elfrid Payton will take Payne's spot in the starting lineup, although he remains a risky […]

Jae Crowder Questionable Due To Groin Issue

Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder (groin) is questionable for Sunday's matchup in Sacramento. The veteran has missed his last two contests because of groin soreness, opening the door for Torrey Craig to get more involved. Craig has averaged 9.1 points and 5.6 boards throughout 16 starts during the 2021-22 campaign, so he'll be a viable […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/20/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

The final day of the weekend is here and with it brings another tantalizing NBA slate. There are seven games on the main slate tonight, highlighted by the Pelicans-Hawks, Suns-Kings, and Spurs-Warriors in terms of implied totals and projected fantasy appeal. The Warriors are especially interesting, facing the forgiving Spurs at home but without the […]

Immanuel Quickley (PG/SG, NYK): Week 22 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Knicks defeated Washington last Friday and that meant they leapfrogged the Wiz in pursuit of the last play-in seed out of the East. That also meant that even on a short one-seed gap, the Knicks are still five games below Charlotte […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/19/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We're looking at an awkward three-game weekend slate in the NBA tonight, one where half of the teams are coming in on the second half of a back-to-back and none of the matchups really stand out from the pack. The Pistons-Cavaliers matchup, at least on paper, profiles as the one to shy away from the […]

Deandre Ayton Logs Double-Double In Limited Minutes

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton got up to his double-double ways again during Friday's win over the Bulls, compiling 20 points and 12 rebounds despite playing just 24 minutes due to the nature of the victory. March has been the best scoring month of the season for Ayton thus far, putting up 19.6 PPG across […]

Jae Crowder Won't Play Friday

Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder (groin) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Torrey Craig played well during his spot start on Wednesday. There's a good chance that the Suns decide to start Craig again here. Possibly, Craig's 21-point performance was a fluke, but he should see significant minutes on Friday. […]

Jae Crowder Out With Sore Groin On Wednesday

Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder (groin) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. The veteran is dealing with right groin soreness. This game comes on the backend of a back-to-back set for the Suns, so the team may be practicing caution with him. Crowder has averaged 28.4 minutes per game this […]

Cameron Johnson To Remain Sidelined Versus Rockets

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Johnson (quad) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. This marks the seventh game in a row that Johnson has missed due to a quad contusion. The Suns haven't given a timetable on Johnson, so it's beginning to be tough to hang onto him in most formats. […]

Well, I knew yesterday's slate was tough or maybe I just took the hard road by betting on two underdogs who promptly went out and both got throttled at home. But I caught yet another bad beat when Detroit ruled out their best offensive player Cade Cunningham and then finished with 99 points when I […]

Devin Booker Drops 30-Point Double-Double Sunday

Phoenix Suns point/shooting guard Devin Booker continued his ascension to All-NBA candidacy during Sunday's win over the Lakers, collecting 30 points and 10 assists across 32 minutes.

Cameron Johnson To Remain Out On Sunday

Phoenix Suns forward Cameron Johnson (quad) will miss his fifth consecutive game on Sunday when the Suns square off against the Los Angeles Lakers. Johnson is dealing with a right quad contusion and it's a bit unclear when he'll be back on the court at this point. Johnson was fantastic in the last game he […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/13/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

It's back to the typical smaller weekend slate tonight as we have five games on tap in the association. The Pacers-Hawks affair projects to be the highest-scoring game on the slate with a 236.5-point implied total, but the Rockets-Pelicans, Lakers-Suns, and Grizzlies-Thunder matchups all offer their fair share of fantasy intrigue as well. The 76ers […]

Luke Kennard (SG, LAC): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: As much as it pains me, it looks like Paul George and Kawhi Leonard are really going to miss the full regular season and most probably the playoffs, delaying the Clips' chances at a deep postseason run one more year. The positive […]
