RotoBaller NBA Recap: The James Harden Show Continues

While Friday night did have some of the NBA's brightest stars on full display, most of the actual games lacked much intrigue. The Bulls, Cavaliers, Knicks and Suns added to their loss column and remain the four most likely spots for Zion Williamson to land during the NBA Draft. However, the draft is shaping up […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/26/19): NBA DFS Lineups

With only five games total, it's unfortunate DraftKings won't consider the Pelicans-Spurs game as part of the main slate.....Selfish. Anyway, after last nights smorgasbord of competitive games, expect the complete opposite tonight. The teams that are playing aren't terrible, it's just the matchups are NOT enticing. Even though four games offers some type of variety […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/25/19): NBA DFS Lineups

Welcome to the 15th Friday of the NBA campaign. After a relatively light schedule last week, the opening night of the weekend is once again back in full force with two-thirds of the Association's teams in action. There are not any real marquee matchups tonight. However, there are some intriguing storylines and some important games. […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Pours In 18 Points

Phoenix Suns forward Kelly Oubre Jr. had a solid game Thursday against the Blazers with 18 points, six rebounds and seven assists. His season numbers of 13.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and .9 assists make him a deep option for those needing points. He'll have a tough time replicating his performance Friday against the Nuggets in […]

Devin Booker Leads Suns On Thursday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker scorched the Blazers on Thursday with 27 points on 9-for-20 from the field. His season totals of 24.2 points and 6.9 assists are 3.7 points and 1.9 assists over his career numbers. He is an excellent option at guard, although his numbers may dip Friday against the excellent defense of […]

T.J. Warren Will Be Shut Down For Next Two-To-Three Weeks

Phoenix Suns forward T.J. Warren (ankle) will be shut down from basketball activities for the next two-to-three weeks. Warren was originally ruled out Thursday night against the Portland Trail Blazers before the news of the shut down.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/24/19): NBA DFS Lineups

The NBA schedule-makers spoiled us with 25 games over the past three days. It was a rather glorious three days, too. However, the day is now Thursday, which means it's back to reality. Back to the grind. Back to the tough, "Am I really considering Josh Okogie?!" decisions provided to us at the hands of […]

RotoBaller NBA Recap: The Forgotten Heroes

Tuesday night saw the Kawhi Leonard-less Toronto Raptors pick up their league-leading 36th W of the season, while the Deandre Ayton-less Phoenix Suns added their Western Conference-leading 38th L. Neither of these games were particularly entertaining -- the night also saw the Oklahoma City Thunder and Dallas Mavericks each grind out tough, intra-conference victories -- […]

Richaun Holmes Ruled Out for Thursday

Phoenix Suns forward/center Richaun Holmes (foot) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This marks the third straight game that Holmes has missed due to a foot injury. Deandre Ayton (ankle) will also be sidelined for this contest.

Deandre Ayton Won't Play on Thursday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) will not play in Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Ayton wasn't able to participate in shootaround and continues to be bothered by an ankle issue. The Suns play again on Friday, so Ayton should be considered questionable for that one. Dragan Bender is in line to play […]

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

It's about time we got back to the massive slates. With 10 games, there is no shortage of upside tonight. The Knicks and Rockets have the highest point total so far, but I think DFS players need to be aware of the upside in the Pelicans-Pistons game. Without Anthony Davis, look for a Jrue Holiday-led […]

Dragan Bender Posts Second Straight Double-Double

Phoenix Suns power forward/center Dragan Bender scored a season-high 13 points on 5-for-10 shooting from the floor, 1-for-4 from the three-point line, and 2-for-5 from the free throw line in Tuesday's loss to the Timberwolves. The 21-year-old Croatian grabbed 10 rebounds and added two assists in 30 minutes. It was his second straight double-double. The […]

Josh Jackson Put Up A Season-High 27 Points In Double-Double Performance

Phoenix Suns shooting guard/small forward Josh Jackson posted his first double-double of the campaign with 27 points along with 10 rebounds with three assists and three blocks in Tuesday's loss to the Timberwolves. The 6-foot-8 wing was 10-for-18 from the field, 2-for-4 from the three-point line, and 5-for-9 from the charity stripe. He made the […]

NBA Weekly Streamers for Week 15 (Jan 21 - Jan 27)

A chilling wind is blowing outside. It picks up a leaf and tosses it around as if it is playing with it. Just like a cat does when it catches a mouse. I watch this wicked game from my window. It's mesmerizing for some reason. I stand for hours, just watching the wind pick the […]

How Sustainable Is This Version Of Bradley Beal?

This biggest trend in the NBA recently has been Bradley Beal and his emergence as a clear-cut All-Star, doing everything he can to get his team in the playoffs. In the fantasy realm, Beal has nearly doubled his value and it's increasing every game. The offensive burden will always be on his shoulders and he […]

Richaun Holmes Unlikely to Play on Tuesday

Holmes injured his foot on Saturday and was unable to play in Sunday's contest. Deandre Ayton (ankle) has already been ruled out for this contest. Dragan Bender is looking at heavy minutes […]

Deandre Ayton Won't Play on Tuesday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Dragan Bender will draw the start and he could be a solid DFS option for Tuesday. He scored 12 points with 10 rebounds, two assists and a block in Sunday's contest. There is a good chance Bender sees nearly […]

Booker connected on eight of 15 shooting and added six assists with six boards, but struggled to take care of the ball with five turnovers […]

T.J. Warren Plays Well In Two-Point Loss On Sunday

Phoenix Suns forward T.J. Warren posted an excellent line on Sunday which included 21 points, four boards, and two steals while knocking down 2-for-5 of his shots from downtown in the loss. Warren continues to show off his new talents from range this season as he continues to knock down threes at an elite level […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Keeps Things Going On Sunday With 20 Points

Phoenix Suns forward Kelly Oubre Jr. netted 20 points on an excellent 7-for-12 shooting on Sunday, but it was not enough in the two-point loss to the Timberwolves. Oubre Jr. also nailed four triples with eight rebounds in 29 minutes of action. Oubre has been rolling in his last seven contests where he is putting […]

Jamal Crawford Available To Play Sunday

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Jamal Crawford (knee) is available to play versus the Timberwolves on Sunday. Crawford has missed the past five games with the ailment. It is unclear whether he will be in the Suns' rotation as coach Igor Kokoskov has been going with youngsters Elie Okobo and De'Anthony Melton lately. So, it is […]

DeAndre Ayton And Richaun Holmes Suffer Injuries

The Phoenix Suns lost two players to injuries in their blowout loss to the Hornets on Saturday as center Deandre Ayton (ankle) and power forward Richaun Holmes (foot) were ruled out early in the fourth quarter. Neither injury appears serious with Ayton suffering a left ankle sprain. Ayton had one of his worst games of […]

Devin Booker's 30 Points Not Enough On Thursday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker put up 30 points and dished out eight assists in the nail-biting loss to the Raptors on Thursday in Toronto. Booker connected on 10 of 21 shooting to lead his squad in scoring and also added four makes from three on the night. Booker looked to be back to peak […]

T.J. Warren Struggles On Offense In Loss Versus Raptors

Phoenix Suns forward T.J. Warren struggled offensively on Thursday when he managed just 11 points on 5-for-16 shooting in the two-point loss to the Raptors. It was not all bad for the rugged forward as Warren managed to grab six boards with two steals and two blocks while nailing a make from three. Warren has […]

Jamal Crawford is Questionable for Thursday

Phoenix Suns guard Jamal Crawford (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors. De'Anthony Melton and Elie Okobo would play more if Crawford is forced to the sideline. Devin Booker is back in action, so Crawford is losing playing time anyway. The Suns are likely going to elect using younger players […]
