LaMarcus Aldridge Leads Spurs In Scoring In Loss To Hawks

San Antonio Spurs power forward LaMarcus Aldridge led his team with 25 points on Monday, but it wasn't enough to help them top the Atlanta Hawks. Aldridge shot 11 of 21 from the field and one of two from three in the loss. He also added a team-high 11 rebounds. The Spurs were without forward Kawhi […]

Kawhi Leonard Ruled Out On Monday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Kawhi Leonard (quadriceps) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Leonard's shoulder seemed fine in Saturday's contest, but now he's being bothered by a quad issue. This quad problem has been a lingering issue since the offseason. Monday's contest against the Hawks should be an easy win […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/15/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

It feels like a get-away-day in baseball. We have two slates for the NBA today, and none of that two game slate garbage! There are actually 11 games on this Martin Luther King day (I hope you're off and get to enjoy the games), but FanDuel has essentially split them into two "main" slates - […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/15/18): NBA DFS Lineups

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/13/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

There is a funky 7-game main slate on Saturday, so once again precision is going to be key. There aren't that many options out there, but there is still plenty of value ready to be utilized. Truthfully, none of these games are all that enticing from a general standpoint, but the Bulls-Pistons should be fairly […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/13/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a four game NBA slate, which is a a bit small for a Saturday and there are some interesting options across the board. There are a number of injuries going around, so this should open up some value plays once we get the starting lineups. In this article, I will be providing you with […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Leads Spurs In Scoring Against Lakers

San Antonio Spurs power forward LaMarcus Aldridge led San Antonio with 20 points in the team's 93-81 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night. Aldridge posted just four rebounds in the loss, well below his season average of 8.6, though he's unlikely to repeat that poor performance on Saturday against the Nuggets, as […]

NBA Heat Check: Surging Players in Week 13

The NBA season is far from over, but that’s not so true of fantasy basketball. With the playoffs coming into view, it’s time for you to start thinking about a ring. If you’re fighting for a playoff spot, get busy winning. Or if you’re sitting pretty at the top of the leader boards, maybe grab […]

Kawhi Leonard Ruled Out Thursday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Kawhi Leonard (shoulder) will not play against the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. Not too much information is known about Leonard's injury, but this will be his third straight game on the sidelines. Hopefully head coach Gregg Popovich will address the issue and give a timetable for Leonard's return. Rudy Gay […]

Tony Parker Won't Play Thursday

San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker (ankle) will not suit up versus the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. He sprained his ankle in the fourth quarter of Monday's victory over the Sacramento Kings. The Spurs tend to handle their older players with more caution, so it's not surprising to see Parker sitting this one […]

Danny Green Ruled Out Thursday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Danny Green (groin) has been ruled out against the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. He was originally listed as questionable but now has been ruled out well before game time. This will mark Green's fifth straight game on the sidelines, but he'll get another chance to play on Saturday versus the […]

NBA Injuries and Who Can Benefit Instead (Week 13)

Just how frustrated are we with injuries in the NBA this season? It seems as if Player X returns, Player B gets injured. The injury bug has been real this season, and it's like a plague that continues to spread across the league. Understanding the injury landscape is key in all forms of fantasy basketball. […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/11/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

After Wednesday's massive slew of games, it's followed up by a wimpy 4-game slate on Thursday. Although we will be enjoying a mid-day game being played in London between the Celtics and 76ers, that game is unavailable for the main slate. There are not many options tonight, so you need to be accurate and generally […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/11/18): NBA DFS Lineups

While we do have four games on Thursday, one of them is being played in London and will happen in the early afternoon. Therefore, we get three injury-riddled games to analyze. Oh joy. Oh yeah, and none of these games have totals or spreads as of 10:00 pm EST on Wednesday night. In this article, […]

Kyle Anderson and Bryn Forbes Should See Big Minutes

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Kyle Anderson and point guard Bryn Forbes could be in for big minutes on Monday. The Spurs have ruled out Danny Green (groin), Kawhi Leonard (shoulder) and Manu Ginobili (rest) on Monday against the Sacramento Kings. Both Anderson and Forbes will likely be asked to play heavy minutes and should be […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/8/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Tony Parker Won't Play Sunday

San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker (rest) will not play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so it's not surprising to see Parker sitting this one out. Dejounte Murray will likely get the start at point guard on Sunday. He's going to be a steaming […]

Danny Green Doubtful on Sunday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Danny Green (groin) is doubtful to play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday. He's missed two straight games and hasn't made much of an impact in the Spurs lineup lately. Green is expected to miss significant time, so owners should look at other options. Bryn Forbes will continue to see […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/7/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Hopefully, everyone has had a great start to 2018. The NBA features a five game slate on Sunday with many of those games featuring an abundance of mismatches. Russell Westbrook, Paul George and the surging Thunder will take on the struggling Phoenix Suns, a game that should see many on the OKC roster walk away […]

Kawhi Leonard Ruled Out Sunday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Kawhi Leonard (shoulder) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Leonard dropped 21 points, three boards, three dimes, four steals, and three blocks in 29 minutes against the Suns on Friday. Sadly, Sunday's game marks the beginning of a back-to-back set, so the Spurs will elect […]

Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers (Week 13)

It was a fun week of basketball with a few marquee games, including the return of Isaiah Thomas against Portland on Tuesday, a (Thomas-less) Cavaliers/Celtics game on Wednesday, and a Warriors/Rockets game on Thursday that was exciting in spite of the fact that Golden State was without Kevin Durant and Houston was without James Harden. […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/5/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

You know what we deserve after a two game slate? Double digit games and good matchups. Tonight, we're getting both as there are 10 games across the Association. As usual, tip (and thus, FanDuel lock) is at 7pm EST. Two-thirds of the games are taking place in the Eastern or Central time zones, meaning we […]

Patty Mills Drops 26 Points In Loss to 76ers

San Antonio Spurs point guard Patty Mills recorded 26 points on 7-for-17 shooting in a 112-106 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. He knocked down four treys and went 8-for-8 from the line to round out his strong performance. With most of the starters resting for the Spurs, Mills was free to run the offense and […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Posts Double-Double in Loss

San Antonio Spurs power forward LaMarcus Aldridge scored 24 points on 10-for-21 shooting to go along with 14 rebounds and one steal in a tough loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. There has been so much talk about the inability of Aldridge and Kawhi Leonard co-existing, but that hasn't been an issue as of yet. Aldridge […]

Danny Green Ruled Out Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Danny Green (groin) will not play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. Kawhi Leonard (rest) and Tony Parker (rest) will also be on the sidelines, but Green is dealing with an actual injury. Head coach Gregg Popovich hinted after Tuesday's victory that Green could be "shut down for a while." With […]

Defense Wins Fantasy Championships - A Mini-Study

A new year means you get an excuse to try new things. But rather than promising to get fit or eat well, I’ve resolved to release my inner nerd. Today I want to focus on how the fantasy value of an NBA center can be correlated with his defensive prowess. Centers are important for fantasy […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/3/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

We've got a massive slate on Wednesday that nicely contrasts the Tuesday slate that featured only five games. That said, there are surprisingly few elite options in desirable spots. Russell Westbrook has looked more like he did last season, but the Lakers are more vulnerable against wings. LeBron James has been amazing all season but […]
