DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/26/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

There are seven games on tap tonight in the NBA, and they seem to be separated by three clear tiers in terms of their daily fantasy appeal. The Grizzlies-Bulls, Nets-Bucks, and Kings-Nuggets matchups are the clear top targets as they all feature implied totals north of 236 points and project as the fastest games on […]

Richaun Holmes Will Sit Out On Thursday

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Holmes has lost a ton of value with Domantas Sabonis joining the Kings roster. In fact, Holmes only played 10 minutes in their last game before the All-Star break. That being said, there isn't a ton of minutes […]

Davion Mitchell Available On Thursday

Sacramento Kings guard Davion Mitchell (hand) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He missed one game prior to the All-Star break due to right hand soreness. However, it sounds like both Mitchell and Jeremy Lamb (ankle) will be ready to go on Thursday. Mitchell should get […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/24/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

The NBA returns from the All-Star break with a solid seven-game slate Thursday night. What always makes the first night of post-All-Star-break play intriguing is that teams come in with a degree of rest that isn't possible at any other point in time past Opening Night. The injury report is unsurprisingly light overall on short-term […]

Buy-Low, Sell-High, NBA Fantasy Basketball Playoffs

All-Star weekend has come to a close, which means two things. One, and maybe most obvious, we're in the second half of the 2021-22 NBA season. Two, we're nearing the fantasy basketball playoffs, which is maybe not as obvious if you don't play the game, but that's likely why you're reading this article in the […]

Davion Mitchell Might Miss Wednesday's Game

Sacramento Kings guard Davion Mitchell (hand) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He appears to be a new addition to the injury report due to right hand soreness. His absence would mean an increased workload for De'Aaron Fox. Also, Donte DiVincenzo and Justin Holiday would likely see more playing time. […]

It was a total mixed bag of results in yesterday's column and an overall mark of 3-3. The Cavs really let me down and you know I watched every minute of that game waiting for them to take control late, but it was just the opposite as Trae Young had a terrific night, and guys […]

Quick and important note: Week 18 goes from February 14th through February 27th for most people, so that's what we'll be using. The all-star break means that we'll be without games for several days. Boo, but also we can all use a little break. All leagues should be gearing up for the playoffs in a […]

Sacramento Kings small forward Jeremy Lamb (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Wizards due to a sore left ankle.

Josh Jackson, Trey Lyles Traded To Kings

Detroit Pistons guard Josh Jackson and forward Trey Lyles have been traded to the Sacramento Kings. This is a four-team trade that also sends forward Marvin Bagley III to Detroit. Lyles could have a role without Bagley on the roster. However, Chimezie Metu has been playing well and looks like a better fantasy option right […]

Donte DiVincenzo Traded To Kings

Milwaukee Bucks guard Donte DiVincenzo has been traded to the Sacramento Kings in part of a four-team trade. The Kings have already acquired Domantas Sabonis, Justin Holiday, and Jeremy Lamb. Now, they have DiVincenzo, Josh Jackson, and Trey Lyles as well. They appear to be reshaping their roster for a playoff run. DiVincenzo is a […]

Marvin Bagley III Heading To Pistons

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley III has been traded to the Detroit Pistons in a four-team trade. The Kings will acquire Trey Lyles and Josh Jackson in part of this deal.

Domantas Sabonis, Justin Holiday Will Play Wednesday

Sacramento Kings forwards Domantas Sabonis and Justin Holiday will start during Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Newly-acquired Sacramento Kings power forward Domantas Sabonis is not on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and may make his debut with the team during the game.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 2/9/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

There might only be six games Wednesday, but two massive trades yesterday make the last games of the night enormous question marks right until tip-off. C.J. McCollum and Larry Nance Jr. were traded to the Pelicans in exchange for Josh Hart, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker essentially, and Domantas Sabonis, Justin Holiday, and Jeremy Lamb were traded […]

De'Aaron Fox Returns On Tuesday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) will make his return to the court for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has missed each of the last eight games due to an ankle injury. However, Fox will return here and should see a spike in usage with Tyrese Haliburton being traded. Although, the Kings are […]

Richaun Holmes Unavailable On Tuesday

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (personal) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This comes out of nowhere and on a day where Holmes was expected to play a big role in the rotation. Marvin Bagley III (ankle) is out as well, so the Kings are going to be lacking bigs […]

De'Aaron Fox Hopeful To Play On Tuesday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (foot) has a good chance at playing during Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to head coach Alvin Gentry. He has missed each of the last eight games due to a foot issue, but appears to have a chance at finally suiting up again. Gentry also mentioned that Fox […]

De'Aaron Fox Out On Saturday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) won't play on Saturday versus the Thunder. Fox will now miss his eighth straight game because of left ankle soreness, so Davion Mitchell and Tyrese Haliburton should continue to handle most of the work out of the backcourt. Both men should be strongly considered for DFS contests as well […]
