Frank Mason III finished with seven […]
Willie Cauley-Stein Ruled Out Against Magic
Sacramento Kings forward/center Willie Cauley-Stein (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. He's missed three straight contests and it is not surprising to see the Kings sit WCS in an important lottery game. The Kings are tanking for draft positioning, so they'll give WCS another day of rest. Zach Randolph […]
Buddy Hield Makes Four From Downtown
Sacramento Kings shooting guard Buddy Hield finished with a decent line against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Skal Labissiere Drops 14 Points In Loss
Sacramento Kings center Skal Labissiere was productive again, scoring 14 points on six of 12 shooting. Labissiere finished with four rebounds, three assists and a block, and this marks his fourth straight game in which he has scored in double digits.

De'Aaron Fox Lasts Only Five Minutes
Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (back) left the game against the Pelicans on Wednesday night and did not return, finishing with only two points and nothing much else. It comes at one of the worst times in fantasy basketball, as the playoffs are starting next week in most formats. Despite Fox's upside and opportunity, […]
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (3/7/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
After some tight pricing on the Tuesday slate, things are a bit more open once again on Wednesday despite a similar number of games. That creates the possibility of stacking two top price options without really destroying the rest of a cash-game build. The games I will be targeting include Memphis-Chicago as well as New […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/7/18): NBA DFS Lineups
We have a seven game NBA slate to get us through this hump day and there are some interesting options across the board. Not a ton of injuries as of right now, so lineup construction should be pretty straight forward, which could make it difficult to get some of the bigger name players into the same lineup. […]

NBA Injuries and Who Can Benefit Instead (Week 21)
Last week I was certain the basketball gods were trying to take out all of the NBA’s superstars, or there was a zombie apocalypse brewing, (I still believe the zombie apocalypse personally). Thankfully, there are not many long-term injuries to report this week. As busy as NBA injuries keep me during the season, and as […]
Willie Cauley-Stein Ruled Out on Sunday

NBA DFS Weekend Dumpster Dive Week 20
Hey Which is better, Harden’s disrespectful, “I just did that to you” stare to Wesley Johnson as he drills a 3-ball and asks for a cleanup in aisle “13”, or Lebron’s, “I may be 33, but watch me KaioKen x10 right quick with this behind-the-back, through the legs, left-handed, parallel to the backboard, layup.... with […]

Skal Labissiere With a Solid Line
Sacramento Kings forward/center Skal Labissiere looked good in a 116-111 win over the Brooklyn Nets.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/1/18): NBA DFS Lineups
It's Thursday and the league will feature a four game slate filled with some decent games. If you factor in the limited amount of options, there isn't much room for error.

Skal Labissiere Probable Against Brooklyn
Sacramento Kings forward/center Skal Labissiere (ankle) is probable to play against the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday. This is a new injury for him, but hopefully it's nothing too serious. He likely suffered it on Tuesday during his six-point dud versus the Blazers. At least this injury is not about his nagging shoulder issue. Labissiere should be […]

Zach Randolph Drops 20 Points Against Former Team
Sacramento Kings power forward Zach Randolph was productive on Tuesday night, posting 20 points on 8-for-16 shooting from the field. After being a healthy scratch against the Timberwolves on Monday, Randolph returned to the lineup.

Buddy Hield Cold From Field
Sacramento Kings guard Buddy Hield was contained in a 99-116 matchup against the Blazers, mustering just six points on 2-for-11 from the field.
