FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/15/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

We have a solid seven-game slate on tap Monday night, one that does have one big-name absence already confirmed in the form of Kevin Durant (hamstring) and another possible one in that of Joel Embiid (back). However, there are still several other elite players in action, and a solid amount of value options to consider. […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for Monday (2/15/21) - Monkey Knife Fight

If your Valentine didn't appreciate Sundays' slate of games, look for Monday as a refresher. There are seven games, and as of 1 AM EST, only the Kings and Nets game has yet to be listed. With teams like the Clippers missing key rotational pieces, the scoring for Los Angeles will be spread out amongst […]

Russell Westbrook Misses Triple-Double By One Rebound

Washington Wizards point guard Russell Westbrook was one rebound short of a triple-double in Sunday's dominant 104-91 win over Boston. He handed out 11 assists and finished with 13 points on 6-for-19 shooting. He also had one steal and three turnovers in 29 minutes. Westbrook has been shooting poorly throughout the season, but he had […]

Bradley Beal Leads Wizards To Victory With 35 Points

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal had a game-high 35 points in Sunday's win over Boston, shooting a nice 10-for-18 from the field and 11-for-11 at the foul line. He added seven rebounds, five assists, and two steals with six turnovers in 33 minutes. The turnovers look ugly, but it was still one of Beal's […]

Moritz Wagner To Start Sunday

Washington Wizards forward/center Moritz Wagner will make the start Sunday against the Boston Celtics, replacing Alex Len in the starting lineup. Len is not injured, so this looks like a shake up of the lineup by head coach Scott Brooks which would bode well for Wagner's value if he continues to keep this role. Wagner […]

Ish Smith Ruled Out For Sunday And Monday

Washington Wizards point guard Ish Smith (quad) will not play Sunday against the Boston Celtics and has also been ruled out for Monday against the Houston Rockets. Smith was doubtful to play Sunday and with a back-to-back set, it makes sense he was ruled out for both. Raul Neto figures to take the backup point […]

Ish Smith Unlikely To Suit Up Sunday

Washington Wizards point guard Ish Smith (quad) has been verbally made doubtful to play in Sunday's contest against the Celtics due to a quad ailment. Smith was able to practice Saturday, but the team doesn't appear interested in pushing him to suit up, particularly with Bradley Beal returning to the lineup. Raul Neto figures to […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: You must know the story by now. Alex Len started the season with the Raptors, played seven games and almost no minutes at all for them, and then was cut. Days after that, Washington added him to its roster to make up for […]

Garrison Mathews Drains Four Threes

Washington Wizards guard Garrison Mathews scored 14 points on 4-for-13 shooting in Friday's game against the New York Knicks. In addition, he grabbed one rebound and blocked a shot.

Garrison Mathews Draws First Career Start Friday

Washington Wizards shooting guard/small forward Garrison Mathews is among the starting five for the first time in his career Friday against the Knicks. The absence of Bradley Beal (rest) means that Mathews will see sizable DFS upside, especially considering his bare minimum price tag. During a seven-game stretch during January when D.C. was heavily short-handed, […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/12/21): NBA DFS Lineups

Friday the 12th doesn’t have quite the same ring -- or foreboding ominousness --  as Friday the 13th, so hopefully the calendar quirk will be kind to those fantasy managers who had to sit through the Tyler Herro debacle Thursday.

Bradley Beal Will Miss Friday’s Game

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal (rest) will be absent from Friday's contest against the Knicks due to rest purposes, marking the first time this season that the league's leading scorer has been absent without an injury designation. The move is certainly a curious one with a back-to-back scheduled for Sunday/Monday for the Wizards, which […]

Bradley Beal Pours In 24 Points

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal finished with 24 points, four rebounds, five assists, and two steals in 37 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Raptors. Beal is averaging an astounding 33.3 points per game this season, so Wednesday's final point total was a bit low per the guard's standards. Nevertheless, he has gotten at least […]

Rui Hachimura Posts Double-Double Against Bulls

Washington Wizards power forward Rui Hachimura notched his first double-double of the season in Monday night's 105-101 win over the Chicago Bulls. Hachimura shot 7-for-13 from the field and 4-for-5 from the line while scoring 19 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Hachimura's had a slightly disappointing season so far as he's been unable to improve […]

Raul Neto Faces 18-20-Minute Cap During Start Monday

Washington Wizards point guard Raul Neto (groin) will enter the starting five in place of Russell Westbrook (rest) for Monday's game versus Chicago, but Neto will have his minutes restricted to a maximum of 18-20 as he works his way back from a groin ailment. The minutes ceiling is essentially a death knell to Neto's […]

Davis Bertans Jumps Into Starting Five Monday

Washington Wizards small/power forward Davis Bertans will make his first start of the season Monday against Chicago, taking the place of Deni Avdija. Head coach Scott Brooks cited a desire to get Bertans' offensive production going as the reason for the decision. Bertans has been persistent in attempting to get his three-point shot down since […]

Alex Len Makes Second Consecutive Start Monday

Washington Wizards center Alex Len has entered the starting five for the second straight outing Monday versus the Bulls. Despite earning his first start with the Wizards on Sunday, Len played just eight minutes and scored two points, delivering a dud from a fantasy perspective. Curiously enough, he played 27 and 24 minutes, respectively, in […]

Fantasy Basketball Deep League Adds: Week 8
