Cam Reddish Questionable Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Cam Reddish (back) is again listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's clash with San Antonio. He is trying to shake off lumbar soreness but has been questionable for a few games now and it's unclear if Reddish can return Thursday. Kevin Knox II has started to play a significant part in […]

DraftKings And FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/6/23): NBA DFS Lineups

The last Thursday of the NBA regular season is here, and for DFS grinders, the end can't come soon enough. The players that are already ruled out for rest/tanking purposes is the easy part. It's the guys that start the game and play single-digit minutes that are the minefields now. It's messy, and it makes […]

DraftKings And FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/5/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We're getting down to the final days of the regular season, but there are still postseason spots and positioning to be decided. Wednesday's eight-game slate should serve to clarify matters further, but thankfully for DFS purposes, there are still plenty of teams with something left to play for. That much is reflected in Wednesday's point […]

Fantasy Basketball Injury Updates for Week 24 - Nikola Jokic, Julius Randle, Jaylen Brown

Welcome back, RotoBallers! Most fantasy seasons are done, but we wanted to keep this weekly article going for all the dynasty players, and for anyone else looking for a weekly roundup.

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/4/23): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

Welcome back, RotoBallers! The NBA takes center stage again now that March Madness is over (Congrats to UConn!). Tonight we've got a massive thirteen-game slate, headlined by the TNT doubleheader. These articles focus on the overall best plays, which are typically more suited for cash games. However, some exceptions may apply, depending on the size […]

Shaedon Sharpe Has Another Strong Performance

Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe posted his second consecutive game of 27 points on Sunday while leading the team to a two-point upset win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The rookie added six rebounds, six assists, and just one turnover to his 27 points on 9-for-19 shooting. Two of his made shots were from deep […]

Cam Reddish Questionable Against The Timberwolves

Portland Trail Blazers forward Cam Reddish (back) is questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Timberwolves. He's missed the last two games, although Portland has struggled to keep anyone healthy recently. That said, if Reddish doesn't suit up, Matisse Thybulle and Kevin Knox II should see extra minutes. However, neither are consistent fantasy options.

Nassir Little Out On Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Nassir Little (ankle) is out ahead of Sunday's matchup with Minnesota. Portland could be without Cam Reddish (back) as well, so Kevin Knox II may see some extra minutes from the bench. Knox had nine points, five assists, and a steal the other night against the Kings, so he has some […]

Trendon Watford Expected To Play Against Minnesota

Portland Trail Blazers forward Trendon Watford (ankle) is expected to play on Sunday versus Minnesota. The 22-year-old is battling a sprained right ankle. However, the Trail Blazers are shorthanded, so he should be out there in some capacity. Watford has averaged 11.1 points and 7.4 rebounds in eight starts this season. But with Damian Lillard […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/1/23): NBA DFS Lineups

Welcome to the weekend once again, RotoBallers. We have an ultra-exciting (*rolls eyes*) two-game slate on tap in the NBA, but just because it's a small slate doesn't mean we can't bink a contest or two. Unfortunately, value will be hard to come by tonight unless we get lineup scratches throughout the day. The Clippers […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Officially Retires From The NBA

LaMarcus Aldridge, most known for his time with the Portland Trail Blazers, officially announced his retirement via Twitter on Friday. The 37-year-old originally retired while playing with the Brooklyn Nets in 2021-22 after doctors found an irregular heartbeat during one of his games. Since then, he worked out with multiple NBA teams to possibly make […]

DraftKings And FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/31/23): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Friday, RotoBallers! The NBA season is dwindling down, which can make some things unpredictable this time of the year. We've seen the Portland Trail Blazers shut down Damian Lillard, which has opened up opportunities for others. Another team that doesn't mind giving rest days is the Indiana Pacers. There are other examples but it's […]

Shaedon Sharpe Collects New Career-High In Losing Effort

Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe posted another new career-high in points during their blowout loss to the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday. The rookie wing posted 30 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, and one block while shooting 10-for-27 from the floor and 6-for-13 from beyond the arc. Sharpe is going to get as much work […]

Keon Johnson Ruled Out On Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Keon Johnson (finger) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. It appears Johnson fractured his finger during pregame shootaround. A tough blow to the Blazers who are already extremely shorthanded heading into this game. Now, Shaedon Sharpe will start and have a bigger role in the rotation. […]

Cam Reddish To Play On Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This is a bit surprising considering Reddish was listed as doubtful earlier in the day. Despite that, Reddish will give it a go during Wednesday's contest. He has been dealing with back soreness, but he'll attempt to play through the […]

DraftKings And FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/29/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a typically expansive 10-game slate on tap Wednesday night, one that's once again replete with postseason stakes. As of early Wednesday, there are four double-digit favorites, which isn't exactly ideal for DFS purposes. However, there are also six games with lines of six points or fewer, which gives us a solid 12-team pool […]

Fantasy Basketball Injury Updates for Week 23 - Paul George, Damian Lillard, D'Angelo Russell

Welcome back, RotoBallers! Most fantasy seasons are done, but we wanted to keep this weekly article going for all the dynasty players, and for anyone else looking for a weekly roundup.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: According to Shams Charania of The Athletic (reporting on Sunday morning), the Portland Trail Blazers are leaning toward shutting down Damian Lillard for the remainder of the season.

DraftKings And FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/27/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We're primed for a big eight-game late-season slate Monday night that features six contests with projected totals of more than 228 points. There are a couple of especially large favorites in the Bucks and the    but the majority of games sport spreads of 6.5 points or less. There are also plenty of appealing individual […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds For Week 23: Trendon Watford, Xavier Tillman Sr., Nick Richards

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 […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/26/23): NBA DFS Lineups

This should be an exciting slate, to say the very least. We have two matchups (Spurs-Celtics, Rockets-Cavaliers) with spreads of at least 14.5 points. At the same time, a group of the 14 teams in action tonight are either blatantly tanking or blatantly resting players in preparation for the playoffs. This is the time of […]

Shaedon Sharpe (SF, POR) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 23

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: It is more than probable that Portland ends outside of the playoffs this season, and that means they will have no excuse for the remainder of the regular season to avoid playing the youngsters as much as possible, Shaedon Sharpe among them. […]

Damian Lillard Likely To Be Shut Down

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (calf) was held out of Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Now, the organization is leaning towards shutting down Lillard for the rest of the season. The Blazers are currently three games out of the play-in tournament with nine games remaining on the schedule. It sounds like the team […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/25/23): NBA DFS Lineups

As expected on a Saturday, we have a meager five-game slate on tap in the NBA. The Jazz-Kings and Bucks-Nuggets matchups hold the highest implied total and profile as the top games to target for our DFS lineups, but it being a smaller slate means we'll need to consider all ten squads. Half of the […]

Nassir Little Considered Probable For Friday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Nassir Little (concussion) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He was held out of Wednesday's game, but it appears he has cleared concussion protocol. There should be minutes available with Damian Lillard (calf) and Jusuf Nurkic (knee) both uncertain to play. Little hasn't done a ton […]

Jusuf Nurkic Doubtful For Friday

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (knee) is considered doubtful for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The big man was listed as questionable, but has been downgraded to doubtful due to right knee soreness. The Blazers are likely going to wait until closer to game time to see how Nurkic is feeling. His absence […]

Damian Lillard Downgraded To Questionable

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (calf) has been downgraded to questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. It appeared Lillard was going to play in this game, but now his status is uncertain due to right calf tightness. The 32-year-old usually attempts to play if he's physically able to, but fantasy managers […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/24/23): NBA DFS Lineups

It's a war of attrition in the NBA this time of year. Teams are missing players due to injury or are resting star players down the stretch. This is officially the "Silly Season" of the NBA schedule as in the final few weeks things always tend to get a little bit weird. Players you haven't […]

Damian Lillard Flirts With Triple-Double In Big Win

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard came just a few rebounds shy of a triple-double as the team coasted to a 12-point win over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. The veteran combo guard finished the game with 30 points, 12 assists, and seven rebounds while shooting 8-for-19 from the floor and 12-for-14 from the line. […]
