Kelly Olynyk Caps Off Season With Hot Shooting
Utah Jazz forward/center Kelly Olynyk missed only four of 13 shots en route to 23 points in Sunday's 128-117 loss to the Lakers. He was 3-for-4 with the three-ball and made both of his attempts at the charity stripe. In the final game of his 10th NBA season, Olynyk also registered five rebounds, four assists […]
DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/9/23): NBA DFS Lineups
This is the last day of regular season in the NBA, which means most teams on the slate don't have anything important to play for. Identifying the teams that are playing to improve their seeding is a huge key because they are the ones who we can count on their starters and rotation players to […]
Kris Dunn Notches A Double-Double
Utah Jazz guard Kris Dunn bagged a 19-point, 14-assist double-double as the team beat Denver 118-114 on Saturday. He even almost made it a triple-double, collecting eight rebounds with three steals and one block in 37 minutes. Dunn made his second consecutive start and shot 6-for-13 in the game with a 7-for-8 effort at the […]
Ochai Agbaji Scores Career-High 28 Points
Utah Jazz guard/forward Ochai Agbaji had the best game of his young career Saturday versus Denver, leading all scorers with 28 points in a 118-114 win. He added three rebounds, three assists and one steal, shooting 10-for-25 from the field and 3-for-11 from deep. It was an inefficient performance shooting-wise, but the Jazz rolled with […]
Talen Horton-Tucker Remains Out On Saturday
Utah Jazz guard/forward Talen Horton-Tucker (ankle) is out on Saturday versus Denver. He didn't suit up on Thursday against OKC because of left ankle soreness, and barring a miracle, he'll likely sit for Sunday's meeting with the Lakers. With Collin Sexton (hamstring) also out, Ochai Agbaji should remain in the starting lineup. The rookie has […]
Collin Sexton Ruled Out Against Denver
Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (hamstring) won't suit up on Saturday versus the Nuggets. The 24-year-old played one game since the All-Star break because of a hamstring injury. Considering Utah has nothing left to play for, Sexton's season is probably finished. Nevertheless, Kris Dunn, coming off a team-high 22 points against OKC on Thursday night, […]
Kelly Olynyk Resting Versus The Nuggets
Utah Jazz forward Kelly Olynyk (rest) will sit against the Nuggets. No surprise here, considering Utah has one game left after this contest. With Lauri Markkanen (hand) and Talen Horton-Tucker (ankle) also out, Luka Samanic and Simone Fontecchio will draw plenty of interest from DFS participants.
Lauri Markkanen Out Against Denver
Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (hand) won't play on Saturday against the Denver Nuggets. Utah has one more game after this one, so fantasy managers will likely not see Markkanen for the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign. Talen Horton-Tucker (ankle) and Kelly Olynyk (rest) are also out, meaning Simone Fontecchio and Luka Samanic should receive […]

Identifying these teams is a huge key because they are the ones who we can count on their starters and rotation players to play their normal allotment of minutes. The Timberwolves […]

DraftKings And FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/6/23): NBA DFS Lineups
The last Thursday of the NBA regular season is here, and for DFS grinders, the end can't come soon enough. The players that are already ruled out for rest/tanking purposes is the easy part. It's the guys that start the game and play single-digit minutes that are the minefields now. It's messy, and it makes […]
DraftKings And FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/5/23): NBA DFS Lineups
We're getting down to the final days of the regular season, but there are still postseason spots and positioning to be decided. Wednesday's eight-game slate should serve to clarify matters further, but thankfully for DFS purposes, there are still plenty of teams with something left to play for. That much is reflected in Wednesday's point […]
Collin Sexton Available To Return On Tuesday
Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (hamstring) has been made available on Tuesday for the first time since Feb. 15. The young combo guard has missed a little more than a month due to a bad hamstring and seems like he can finally come back to play the final few games remaining this season. He would […]
Lauri Markkanen Downgraded To Out Again On Tuesday
Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (hand) has been downgraded yet again to out on Tuesday, so he will miss the contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. The 25-year-old has been in and out of the lineup a lot over the last few weeks as the Jazz are a game and a half out of the […]
Lauri Markkanen Questionable Tuesday
Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (hand) might be unavailable for the team again Tuesday versus the Lakers, with the Finnish star carrying a questionable tag. Markkanen has played in just three of the team's last eight games and the Jazz don't really have to push him through injuries, as the hopes of extending the season […]
DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/4/23): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
Welcome back, RotoBallers! The NBA takes center stage again now that March Madness is over (Congrats to UConn!). Tonight we've got a massive thirteen-game slate, headlined by the TNT doubleheader. These articles focus on the overall best plays, which are typically more suited for cash games. However, some exceptions may apply, depending on the size […]
Walker Kessler Placed In Concussion Protocol
Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (concussion) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game after taking a shot to the head from a teammate. The rookie big man has now entered concussion protocol. That being said, Kessler could very well miss the rest of the regular season. If that's true, the Jazz would likely use […]
Walker Kessler Leaves Game Sunday
Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (head) left Sunday's game versus the Brooklyn Nets and did not return. Kessler took a hit to the head and was visibly shaken, displaying symptoms of a concussion, and immediately went to the locker room before being ruled out. Kessler played just 21 minutes, recording six points and eight rebounds […]
Lauri Markkanen Available Against Brooklyn
Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (hand) will return from a two-game absence on Sunday in Brooklyn. As a result, Simone Fontecchio will head back to the bench and lose most of his DFS appeal. At the same time, Kelly Olynyk and Talen Horton-Tucker may see a dip in production with Markkanen back in the mix.
Lauri Markkanen Could Miss Sunday's Game
Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (hand) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The 25-year-old has missed four of the last five games due to a left hand contusion. The Jazz are within a game of the 10th seed, so Utah does technically have something to play for right now. However, […]
Talen Horton-Tucker Has Another Productive Outing
Utah Jazz guard/forward Talen Horton-Tucker led the team with 28 points and had eight rebounds and seven assists in Friday's 122-114 loss to Boston. His shooting was slightly off, as Horton-Tucker finished 9-for-21 from the field, but he was very active in getting to the free-throw line and it eventually helped him to post his […]
Kelly Olynyk Is Available Against Boston On Friday
Utah Jazz center Kelly Olynyk is now available to play on Friday against the Boston Celtics after just a one-game absence due to a non-COVID illness. As he takes over his starting spot again, the odd man out would seem to be Juan Toscano-Anderson. Especially with Lauri Markkanen (hand) still sidelined, Olynyk should be a […]
DraftKings And FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/31/23): NBA DFS Lineups
Happy Friday, RotoBallers! The NBA season is dwindling down, which can make some things unpredictable this time of the year. We've seen the Portland Trail Blazers shut down Damian Lillard, which has opened up opportunities for others. Another team that doesn't mind giving rest days is the Indiana Pacers. There are other examples but it's […]
Lauri Markkanen Won't Play On Friday
Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (hand) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. Markkanen will miss his second game in a row due to a left hand contusion. His absence should mean that Simone Fontecchio moves into the starting five. However, Luka Samanic played more minutes than Fontecchio during their last […]
Talen Horton-Tucker Goes Off Against San Antonio
Utah Jazz guard Talen Horton-Tucker posted one of the best games of his career on Wednesday as the team took down the San Antonio Spurs by a score of 128-117. The 22-year-old posted a career-high 41 points to go along with four rebounds, five assists, and one steal while shooting 15-for-25 overall and 6-for-11 from […]
Lauri Markkanen Ruled Out Again With Hand Issue
Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (hand) has been downgraded from questionable to out on Wednesday due to some soreness stemming from his hand contusion. He was able to play in their last matchup, but his shooting percentages suffered. To combat the uncomfortable soreness, he'll get the night off which means Simone Fontecchio will see some […]
DraftKings And FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/29/23): NBA DFS Lineups
We have a typically expansive 10-game slate on tap Wednesday night, one that's once again replete with postseason stakes. As of early Wednesday, there are four double-digit favorites, which isn't exactly ideal for DFS purposes. However, there are also six games with lines of six points or fewer, which gives us a solid 12-team pool […]
