DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (11/9/18): NBA DFS Lineups
Week 4 of the NBA season is upon us. While there is not a marquee matchup among the seven games on Friday's docket, there is plenty of intriguing storylines. Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward returning to Salt Lake City as an opponent for the first time since leaving as a free agent is among the […]
Bogdan Bogdanovic Will Rest on Friday
Sacramento Kings guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (rest) will sit out of Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. It's the first game of a back-to-back set, so that is why Bogdanovic is sitting out. He's expected to return versus the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday. It sounds like the Kings just don't want to overwork their players […]
Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds for Week 4
The fourth week of the NBA season is already upon us! If you're here to read Dicky Fung's great column about who to add on waivers for the week ahead, I have some bad news, which is that I'm filling in for Dicky this week. But it's okay -- he'll be back for next week. […]
Bogdan Bogdanovic Will Rest Friday
Sacramento Kings guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (rest) won’t be available in Friday’s game against the Timberwolves. Bogdanovic played limited minutes in his first game back on Wednesday, and the Kings are looking to work him back slowly. This should lock in Iman Shumpert’s minutes for the game now that Bogdanovic is ruled out. Perhaps the biggest […]
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (11/8/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
There are only four games tonight and every day we are seeing progress with each team. The start to every season is difficult because of random rotations, coaching changes and chemistry issues, so by the end of this month, every team will be in a more concrete direction, rather than still trying to figure out […]
Marvin Bagley Sharp Off The Bench Wednesday
Sacramento Kings rookie power forward Marvin Bagley went for 13 points across 25 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 114-105 win against the Toronto Raptors. He was a very efficient 5-for-8 from the field while adding 1-for-1 from behind the three-point line and a perfect 2-for-2 from the three-throw stripe. He also added three rebounds […]
Another Strong Effort For De'Aaron Fox
Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox ended up with 20 points in Wednesday's 114-105 home loss against the Toronto Raptors. He hit 8-for-15 from the field, including 2-for-4 from the perimeter, while adding four assists and a rebound. It wasn't all great, as his five turnovers were tied for a game high. Ever since flipping […]
Willie Cauley-Stein Holds His Own Against Toronto Bigs
Sacramento Kings center Willie Cauley-Stein ended up with 24 points across 33 minutes in Wednesday's 114-105 home loss against the Toronto Raptors. He ended up with eight rebounds, four assists, a steal and a blocked shot with just one turnover and two personal fouls, going a very effective 10-for-15 from the field. His frontcourt mate […]
Nemanja Bjelica Has Forgettable Performance
Sacramento Kings power forward Nemanja Bjelica ended up going scoreless across 19 minutes with four personal fouls in Wednesday's 114-105 home loss against the Toronto Raptors. He was overwhelmed dealing with Toronto's size, and the referees were whistling him for fouls early and often and he just couldn't get into a rhythm. He ended up […]
Bogdan Bogdanovic Will Play Limited Minutes Wednesday
Sacramento Kings guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) will make his season debut Wednesday against the Raptors but will be on limited minutes, according to head coach Dave Joerger. This shouldn’t stop him from being added to most fantasy rosters, but does hurt any DFS appeal that he has tonight. We would expect the Kings to work […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Will Make Season Debut

He also picked up five rebounds and one steal. Bagley is looking good at the start of his […]
Nemanja Bjelica Keeps Shining For Sactown
Sacramento Kings forward Nemanja Bjelica has been one of the unlikely heroes behind the team's early success this season and he had another good game on Thursday, scoring 19 points in just 24 minutes against the Hawks. Bjelica, who's shooting a baffling 55.3 percent from deep for the season, finished 7-for-11 from the floor, including […]
Willie Cauley-Stein Sees Double-Double Streak End
Sacramento Kings center Willie Cauley-Stein saw his double-double streak end at four games on Thursday, but it was mainly due to the opposition playing badly rather than his own abilities. The Kings easily took care of the Hawks, winning 146-115, so there was a lot of garbage time to be played and Cauley-Stein ended up […]
Buddy Hield Stays Hot Against Hawks
Sacramento Kings shooting guard Buddy Hield extended his streak with 20-plus point games to five on Thursday, scoring 27 points in a blowout win against Atlanta. He also provided six assists, five rebounds, two steals, and one block. Hield has looked like Stephen Curry lately, dropping bombs from deep for fun and he continued that […]

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox made it look like it was men against boys on Thursday against Atlanta, recording his first career triple-double with 31 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds.

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds for Week 3
Looking ahead into Week 3, the injury bug has been spreading across the association. Key guys like James Harden and Devin Booker are dealing with hamstring injuries.

NBA Weekly Streamers for Week 3 (Oct 29 - Nov 4)
Each and every one of us knows the feeling of disappointment when the guy we were hoping would be the surprise of the season turns his back on us. When our last round flier shows why he wasn't picked up earlier, and probably shouldn't have been picked at all. If you're in a competitive league […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (11/1/18): NBA DFS Lineups
It may come to you in the form of religion, maybe it's addiction or any of the countless credences I will not expend the time or energy to list, but us humans have a tendency to believe in something(s) larger than ourselves. In an effort to avoid taking you through a meandering journey into the […]
De'Aaron Fox is Probable for Thursday
Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (back) is probable for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Fox managed to play 31 minutes on Tuesday despite a back issue. He's been fantastic this season and it sounds like he can play through the back discomfort. Fantasy owners should expect Fox to be out there on Thursday, […]
Marvin Bagley Falls Short of Double-Double
Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley approached his first career double-double on Tuesday. He fell just shy, but still posted a 10 points and nine rebounds. Bagley shot 3-for-7 from the field and converted on 2-for-3 of his three-point opportunities. Additionally, he provided a pair of assists, a steal and a block, yet his struggles from […]
De'Aaron Fox Cools Off in Kings Win
Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox cooled off from his red-hot start on Tuesday. Fox had been outstanding to open up the gates and while he had a solid outing in the win over the Magic, it wasn't quite up to the level which he had been producing out the gate. Fox scored 14 points […]

Sacramento Kings forward Nemanja Bjelica logged his second 20-plus point game of the season on Tuesday. Bjelica scored 21 points on 8-for-13 shooting from the field.

Hield knocked down 6-for-6 free-throws, dished out three assists […]
De'Aaron Fox Available To Play Tuesday
Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (back) is listed as active Tuesday night against the Orlando Magic. Fox and the Kings are heading into the second night of a back-to-back and Fox was listed as questionable with a back strain he suffered Monday night against the Miami Heat. Although Fox is listed as active, the […]
Iman Shumpert is Resting on Tuesday
Sacramento Kings guard/forward Iman Shumpert (rest) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Shumpert has a history with injuries, so the Kings just want to be cautious with him. It sounds like the Kings are going to continue resting Shumpert in back-to-back contests. Justin Jackson and Buddy Hield will see increased playing […]
