NBA Weekly Streamers for Weeks 18 & 19 (Feb 11 - Feb 24)
The trade deadline has come and gone. I hope you nailed some of your speculative adds! I've missed mine with Omari Spellman in a 20-team league. With the All-Star weekend just around the corner, and the end of the fantasy regular season drawing near I'm going to be letting him go soon. With Dewayne Dedmon and […]
Davis Bertans Starts At Two With Rudy Gay On The Mend

LaMarcus Aldridge Posts Double-Double In Road Loss
San Antonio Spurs power forward LaMarcus Aldridge registered 15 points with 10 rebounds, four assists and a blocked shot in Saturday's 125-105 loss against the Utah Jazz. He took the circuitous route to 15 points, as he was just 5-for-16 from the field, although he was an impressive 4-for-4 from the free-throw stripe. It's difficult […]
Rudy Gay Ruled Out on Saturday
San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. Gay rolled his ankle during Thursday's contest, but it didn't appear to be anything too significant. The Spurs are likely just being cautious here and letting Gay rest. Davis Bertans and Marco Belinelli will soak up the […]
Lonnie Walker IV Unlikely To Play Saturday
San Antonio Spurs shooting guard Lonnie Walker IV will likely be held out for his second consecutive contest Saturday versus the Utah Jazz due to a right ankle sprain, officially listed as doubtful.

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/7/19): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
We have a decent sized six game slate tonight, and in all honesty this is not the greatest grouping of games. It seems that outside of the Trail Blazers - Spurs and Pacers - Clippers, there just isn't that much upside available. You can go in any direction you want as far as lineup building […]
Lonnie Walker Won't Play on Thursday
San Antonio Spurs guard Lonnie Walker IV (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Walker has not been a big part of the Spurs rotation this season.

Plenty of people will be fading Harden tonight, but you know I have optimism about this matchup […]
DeMar DeRozan Will Rest On Wednesday
San Antonio Spurs shooting guard/small forward DeMar DeRozan will join teammate LaMarcus Aldridge on the bench Wednesday versus the Golden State Warriors, taking the night off due to load management.

LaMarcus Aldridge To Rest During Wednesday’s Game
San Antonio Spurs power forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge will be held out for Wednesday’s contest versus the Golden State Warriors due to rest. Aldridge is set to miss his first contest of the season, so it’s difficult to project how head coach Gregg Popovich may reallocate his minutes, but it’s likely Jakob Poeltl and Davis Bertans […]

San Antonio Spurs small/power forward Dante Cunningham is listed as probable to make his return to the rotation for Monday’s contest against the Sacramento Kings as he makes his way back from right ankle soreness.

Derrick White To Miss Monday’s Contest
San Antonio Spurs point/shooting guard Derrick White has been ruled out for Monday’s game versus the Sacramento Kings due to right heel soreness. White has been finding his offensive rhythm as of late, but was slowed Saturday by New Orleans. It’s not yet clear who the Spurs will add to the starting five, but fellow […]

As the trade deadline of the NBA is approaching, and so are the trade deadlines in most Fantasy leagues, it's the last train to try and make your teams better by trading for out-of-form players who you believe will pick it up later. The time is also running out to cash in on your guys […]

At 36-13, the Bucks have the best record in the Eastern Conference, a half game ahead of the Raptors, who sit at 37-15.
