Pau Gasol Ruled Out on Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Pau Gasol (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This is not surprising news, since Gasol was unable to get through shootaround. He should be considered questionable for Saturday's game versus the Lakers. Davis Bertans is expected to draw the start with Joffrey Lauvergne in […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/28/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

We've got a big NBA Wednesday, with nine games on the main slate. Like Tuesday, the options at guard are largely uninspiring. However, there are options at forward with injuries in Charlotte and there could be news throughout the day regarding tanking teams such as the Hawks, Grizzlies, and Suns that could open value. As […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/28/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a nine 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 20)

This season long pile-up of injuries has had me thinking, “Are we about to enter a Walking Dead-style apocalypse where this injury bug inevitably spreads and turns us all into walkers looking for flesh?!” This late in the year, even after the All-Star Break, injuries are commonplace. What isn’t as common as years past, is […]

Patty Mills Scores 11 Points In Second Consecutive Start

San Antonio Spurs point guard Patty Mills logged 35 minutes in a second consecutive start on Sunday against Cleveland, finishing with 11 points on 3-for-9 shooting. The 29-year-old Aussie also had five assists with just a single turnover. The Spurs ended a four-game skid with Mills in the starting five and Danny Green coming off […]

Kyle Anderson Gets Going Against Cleveland

San Antonio Spurs forward Kyle Anderson once again showed his potential of being a superb all-around fantasy player on Sunday against Cleveland, as he scored 10 points with six rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals in 30 minutes. Anderson has been mostly quiet this month, but he's had a bunch of similar outbursts […]

Pau Gasol Logs Efficient 25 Minutes Against Cleveland

San Antonio Spurs center Pau Gasol played an efficient 25 minutes against the Cavs on Sunday, finishing with 11 points, seven rebounds and three assists. He shot 5-for-9 from the field and finished with a plus-16 rating, trailing only Dejounte Murray in that regard. Gasol has found his way back into the starting lineup and […]

Dejounte Murray Does It All In Spurs Win

San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray played a key role in Sunday's win over Cleveland, as he led the team with a plus-17 plus/minus while scoring 13 points on 5-for-12 shooting and adding nine rebounds, five assists, four steals and three blocks in 34 minutes without committing a single turnover. The 21-year-old now has […]

Danny Green Scores 22 Points Off the Bench

San Antonio Spurs shooting guard Danny Green had to settle for a bench role in Sunday's road win over Cleveland, but he didn't let that affect his game, as he scored 22 points in 23 minutes. Green shot 6-for-11 and made five of his nine treys after missing Friday's loss to Denver with food poisoning. […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Scores 27 Points Against Cavs

San Antonio Spurs power forward LaMarcus Aldridge followed up Friday's 38-point performance against Denver with another good outing, as he led the team in scoring in Sunday's 110-94 win over Cleveland.

Danny Green Will Play on Sunday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Danny Green (illness) will play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday. He was listed as probable before the game, but it sounds like he'll be good to go against the Cavs. He missed Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets due to food poisoning. Bryn Forbes, Patty Mills and Derrick White will go back […]

Manu Ginobili Ruled Out Sunday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Manu Ginobili (chest) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The injury is not serious, but it does not take much for the 40-year-old to be sidelined. Bryn Forbes and Patty Mills will split up Ginobili's minutes, but that is only roughly 15 to 20 minutes of […]

Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers: Week 20

The long, long wait for basketball to return from the All-Star Break is finally over, but it's a little difficult to use a one or two game sample as a way of telling you which players to pick up this week. Instead, I'll be giving you part two of what I started last week. What […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/23/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Well, now that the way-too-long All-Star break is over, we can get back to business. Technically, basketball returned yesterday, but that six game slate was pretty damn weak. Luckily for tonight, we have a really full menu. Eleven games with a lot of east coast flavor - which is great for this non late-swap world we […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/23/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We're back to another huge Friday slate! We had six games last night to wet our whistles, but it's now time for a slate with double digit games. It seems as if most player's price tags dropped a bit from the All Star Break, which gives up a lot of good value, even if they […]

Rudy Gay Will Play Friday

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (heel) will play against the Denver Nuggets on Friday. Gay will have a minutes limit, but will play for the first time since late December. Head coach Gregg Popovich mentioned Gay playing roughly 15-20 minutes against Denver. It would not be surprising if Gay had a minutes limit the […]

Kawhi Leonard Could Miss Rest Of Season

San Antonio Spurs small forward Kawhi Leonard (quadriceps) could miss the rest of the season, according to head coach Gregg Popovich. Leonard was a preseason MVP favorite and a top pick in almost every fantasy league, but he could finish this season with just nine games played. Reports indicate that team doctors have cleared Leonard […]

Pau Gasol's Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

San Antonio Spurs center Pau Gasol has seen his fantasy stock lower this season, as the 37-year-old is averaging his lowest points per game of his career with 10.7. The veteran is still rebounding the ball well and is useful in some ways, but his shooting has grown more inconsistent as the season has worn […]

Dejounte Murray's Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray has been off to a strong start as the new starting point guard for the team. Murray finished with double-digit points in four consecutive games leading up to the All-Star break and has shown a knack for rebounding the ball well for his position. There are flaws in […]

LaMarcus Aldridge's Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

San Antonio Spurs power forward LaMarcus Aldridge will continue to be the most important player for the Spurs for the foreseeable future with Kawhi Leonard (quadriceps) out for an undisclosed amount of time. Aldridge played well enough in the first half to make the All-Star game and is averaging 22.4 points per game this season, […]

Manu Ginobili Should Return Next Week

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Manu Ginobili (foot) is expected to return after the All-Star break. Spurs general manager R.C. Buford said Ginobili's injury does not "appear to be anything severe." Ginobili was injured in the third quarter of Tuesday's loss to the Denver Nuggets. He limped to the locker room and was unable to return. […]

Joffrey Lauvergne Scores 26 Points Against Nuggets

San Antonio Spurs center Joffrey Lauvergne scored a team-high 26 points in San Antonio's Tuesday night loss to the Nuggets. Lauvergne also pulled down 11 rebounds. It was Lauvergne's best game of the season by a mile, and he is unlikely to mean much in the long term. The Spurs are still fighting for a […]

Dejounte Murray is Probable on Tuesday

San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He had 12 points, four assists and three rebounds in 29 minutes during Monday's loss to Utah. There was no sign of a setback with his ankle, so owners can expect Murray back on the court for Tuesday. […]

Davis Bertans Expected to Start Tuesday

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Davis Bertans is expected to start against the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday. LaMarcus Aldridge (knee) sat out on Monday and will sit out once again for Tuesday's contest. Bertans scored 12 points with four rebounds, one steal, and three blocks in 29 minutes on Monday. He will be a cheap candidate […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/13/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

This Tuesday slate is an ugly one with point guard and power forward standing out as particularly ugly positions to fill. The status of key Oklahoma City players Carmelo Anthony and Russell Westbrook will go a long way to clearing this slate up a bit, as Raymond Felton, Patrick Patterson, and Alex Abrines could potentially […]

Danny Green Shoots Well Against the Jazz

San Antonio Spurs shooting guard Danny Green had 13 points in 30 minutes on Monday against Utah, shooting well from deep. He went 3-for-5 with his three-ball and shot 4-for-9 overall. Green also had two blocks and five rebounds in the 101-99 loss. After a really ugly January in which Green made less than 25 […]

Davis Bertans Records Three Blocks Against Utah

San Antonio Spurs forward Davis Bertans scored 12 points and recorded three blocks in Monday's 101-99 loss to the Jazz.

Dejounte Murray Returns to Action With a 12-Point Effort

San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray (ankle) was back on the floor on Monday against Utah after missing one game, scoring 12 points on 6-for-14 shooting. He logged 29 minutes and looked fine, as he also recorded four rebounds, four assists and one steal. Murray has cooled off a bit after his great start […]
