Deandre Ayton Available On Tuesday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He will be back in action after missing each of the last two games due to an illness. His return will shift JaVale McGee back to the bench. The veteran center will see his minutes take a hit, but […]

Deandre Ayton Possibly Returning On Tuesday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He has missed each of the last two games due to a non-COVID related illness. The hope is that Ayton can return here, but the Suns won't host shootaround on Tuesday. That means, fantasy managers will likely […]

Jalen Smith Ruled Out On Tuesday

Phoenix Suns forward Jalen Smith (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The young forward will sit this one out due to a non-COVID related illness. Starting center Deandre Ayton (illness) remains listed as questionable, which means JaVale McGee could have plenty of streaming value here. McGee should already […]

JaVale McGee Bags A Double-Double In Another Start

Phoenix Suns center JaVale McGee logged another start on Monday against the Clippers and notched a second consecutive double-double with 13 points and 13 rebounds. He shot 5-for-13 from the field and 3-for-4 at the line while adding one assist to his tally in 25 minutes. McGee is currently benefitting from Deandre Ayton's (illness) absence. […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/14/21): NBA DFS Lineups

Are you ready for some Tuesday night hoops?

Fantasy Basketball Injury Updates for Week 9

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (12/13/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

We're poised for a strong nine-game slate Monday night that features a majority of what should be highly competitive contests.

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (12/13/21)

While football was king yesterday, the NBA takes center stage tonight with only one football game (albeit a pretty important one between the Rams and Cardinals) to compete for our attention. Friday's picks went 3-1 and my overall record for the season is trending back in the right direction. If you see me picking similar […]

Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 9: Garrison Mathews, JaVale McGee, Kevin Huerter, Cedi Osman

More bummer injury news and health and safety protocols issues have made this fantasy season an absolutely dreadful landscape to navigate. Good health is going to do your fantasy team wonders, but if you have some guys out for a while, it's wise to drop them and start streaming! You can still win your league […]

Devin Booker Out, Deandre Ayton Questionable For Monday

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Clippers, while center Deandre Ayton (illness) is considered questionable.

NBA Waiver Wire Streamers for Fantasy Basketball Week 9 (Dec 13 - Dec 19)

Deandre Ayton Questionable Against Celtics

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. It sounds like Ayton is dealing with a non-COVID related illness, so fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried. The Suns are likely going to wait until possibly pregame warmups before making a final decision on Ayton. JaVale McGee […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (12/10/21)

Wednesday night's results were mixed but with more good than bad. Charlotte did their part by covering and the total just barely hit the over in that game, too. The Raptors totally disappeared in the second half and lost by one, failing to cover and I'm not likely to trust them again after that mess. […]

The PHI/CHA and ATL/MIN matchups stand out as the […]
