Damian Lillard Continues To Ball Out

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard had a stellar performance Friday night against the Toronto Raptors. Lillard scored 32 points, going 11-for-18 from the field, with three of those made shots coming from downtown. Dame also dished out 10 assists to earn a double-double. In the past 10 games, Lillard has been playing extremely […]

Jusuf Nurkic Has Solid Game

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic played an efficient game Friday versus the Toronto Raptors. Nurkic scored 20 points, shooting 8-for-11 from the field, and also going 4-for-5 from the charity stripe. Also in the contest Friday night, Nurkic had seven boards and three assists. This game was much better than what Nurkic has been […]

Jusuf Nurkic is Probable on Friday

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (quadriceps) is probable for Friday's contest against the Toronto Raptors. He suffered a leg injury in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game, but it sounds like he will be fine. He is playing great basketball right now, but the same cannot be said about Ed Davis. It has been […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/2/18): NBA DFS Lineups

There was somewhat of a small slate last night, but we're back to a larger Friday slate, which is the case most weeks. There are a few teams that should be attacked tonight, such as the New Orleans Pelicans, who are still trying to figure their new rotation out. In this article, I will be […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds for Week 16

The first big move ahead of the trade deadline rocked the NBA on Monday, when Blake Griffin was traded to the Pistons. Luckily for fantasy basketball owners, it shouldn't do much to the primary names involved. Griffin will still be the main option in Detroit, and Tobias Harris should continue to get the looks he became […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/30/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

We've got a heavier Tuesday slate than usual and there shouldn't be any difficulty finding value between injuries and with both the Pistons and Clippers in action after their blockbuster deal on Monday evening. Assuming none of those players are active, there will be value to be had all over the place. There are also […]

Week 16 Fantasy Basketball - Waiver Wire and Buy/Sell

Week 15 was absolutely devastating to some owners, as the biggest news this week was the season-ending injury to New Orleans Pelicans center DeMarcus Cousins (torn Achilles tendon). It's a crushing blow for owners who own Boogie, one of the most dominant players in fantasy hoops. There's just no silver living at all whatsoever, as […]

C.J. McCollum Continues Solid Season

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard C.J. McCollum had a solid all-around game Friday night versus the Dallas Mavericks. McCollum scored 20 points, shooting 9-for-14 from the field.

Damian Lillard and Portland Roll in Dallas

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard led the team in scoring as the Blazers took care of the Mavericks to hold pace in the Western Conference with a 107-93 win. Dame scored 29 points on nine of 14 shooting while adding five assists and four rebounds, but he also added four turnovers and ultimately failed to […]

Jusuf Nurkic Plays Efficiently

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic made the most of the limited opportunities Friday playing against the Dallas Mavericks. Nurkic scored 12 points, going 6-for-10 from the field. To add to the performance Friday night, Nurkic also had eight boards. Nurkic has shot extremely well so far in the month of January with a field […]

For now, I'll begin with my value plays, […]

Evan Turner Ruled Out Friday

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Evan Turner (personal) has been ruled out of Friday's contest against the Dallas Mavericks. This will be just the second game Turner has missed all season. It's unclear the reasoning for his absence, but hopefully it's just one game. Maurice Harkless is expected to rejoin the rotation without Turner playing on […]

NBA Heat Check: Surging Players in Week 15

This week’s standout performance belongs to a usual suspect for fantasy excellence: DeMarcus Cousins. Until it all came together for Boogie on Monday night, nobody over the past 50 years had dropped at least 40 points, 20 rebounds, and 10 assists. But Cousins is consistently great. This column aims to analyze players who are surging […]
