He played 28 minutes, amassing 12 points on an efficient 6-for-9 shooting from the field, and added 11 rebounds, eight assists, and three steals. The 26-year-old got off to a rough start this season. However, he's beginning […]

Nicolas Claxton Drops 19 Points On Milwaukee

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton finished with 19 points on Friday in the win over Milwaukee. He also had eight boards, five assists, and three steals. Although the 23-year-old didn't have any blocks, he added another solid performance to his resume for the 2022-23 campaign. Claxton has averaged a career-high 11.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, and […]

Kyrie Irving Finishes Just Shy Of A Double-Double On Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving finished with 18 points in 35 minutes on Friday versus Milwaukee. The multi-time All-Star had another rough shooting night, going 6-for-18 from the field while netting three of his seven tries from downtown. He also had nine rebounds, one shy of giving him a double-double, and six assists. The 30-year-old […]

Kevin Durant Leads Nets To Another Win

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant finished with 24 points on Friday in the win over Milwaukee. It wasn't Durant's best shooting performance, going 9-for-17 from the field and 2-for-6 from deep. However, he made up for it by adding six assists, five rebounds, one steal, and one block. The 2014 NBA Most Valuable Player is […]

FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 16 - Daily Fantasy Football Targets Include Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Jerick McKinnon, Derrick Henry, CeeDee Lamb, Ja'Marr Chase, Travis Kelce

Happy Holidays! With Christmas on a Sunday this year, 10 games will be played on Saturday, which will feel a bit different. However, it's still business as usual. But first, we had to get through Thursday's meeting with the Jags and Jets, a game that ended with Jacksonville earning an easy win. With injuries to […]

LeBron James Available Against The Kings

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is active for Wednesday's meeting with Sacramento. James has been dealing with left ankle soreness for most of the season, so it's something that may continue to bother him moving ahead. That said, considering L.A. won't have Anthony Davis (foot) and Russell Westbrook (foot) on the floor, James […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Out Against The Clippers

Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) remains out for Wednesday's clash against the Clippers. The 25-year-old hasn't played in nearly a month because of a sprained ankle, so his absence isn't surprising by any means. Smith likely wouldn't haven seen much action with LaMelo Ball back in the lineup. However, with Terry Rozier (hip) […]

Terry Rozier Downgraded To Out On Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (hip) won't play against the Clippers. He was listed as doubtful, so fantasy managers had expected this all along. Kelly Oubre Jr. will slide over and take Rozier's spot in the backcourt alongside LaMelo Ball. Theo Maledon, who had 12 points, seven rebounds, and a steal in 26 minutes in […]

Alex Caruso Won't Return To Matchup Against Atlanta

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (shoulder) won't return to Wednesday's matchup against Atlanta. The 28-year-old was entering this contest on the injury report for another ailment, a right elbow sprain, so it's possible he'll miss some time moving ahead. He'd finish with five points and a steal in 10 minutes of work, so he didn't […]

Austin Reaves Sidelined On Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (ankle) won't play against Sacramento, marking his second consecutive absence because of a sprained left ankle. Russell Westbrook (foot) is out as well, so L.A. will be shorthanded in the backcourt on Wednesday night. As a result, Dennis Schroder, who had 30 points in the loss to Phoenix, should […]

Domantas Sabonis Available Against The Lakers

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (hand) will play versus the Lakers. The 26-year-old was riding a questionable tag throughout much of Wednesday because of a hand ailment. However, he's good to go. Sabonis is coming off a strong 28-point, 23-rebound outing against the Charlotte Hornets on Monday. Considering L.A. won't have Anthony Davis (foot), Sabonis […]

Collin Sexton Questionable Against The Wizards

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Washington Wizards. The 23-year-old has missed his previous seven games because of a hamstring strain. However, it appears he's at least moving in the right direction toward making his return. Sexton had been playing well while filling in Mike Conley in the […]

Kelly Olynyk Out On Thursday Night

Utah Jazz center Kelly Olynyk (ankle) won't play on Thursday against the Wizards, his third consecutive absence because of a sprained left ankle. Rookie Walker Kessler, who's averaged 9.3 points, 8.5 boards, and 2.3 blocks while shooting 81.8% from the field in his four starts this season, is expected to remain in the starting lineup. […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Ruled Out Against Minnesota

Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (groin) won't play on Wednesday against Minnesota. The 29-year-old was injured in Monday's first game of back-to-back outings versus the Timberwolves, allowing Davis Bertans to finish with 18 points off 6-for-9 shooting from deep. While Bertans won't be starting, he should get enough minutes off the bench to warrant a […]

Rudy Gobert To Suit Up On Wednesday Evening

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ankle) will suit up for Wednesday's meeting with Dallas after missing his previous three games. With the defensive specialist back on the floor, Naz Reid will head back to the bench, so he'll lose some fantasy appeal. Although Gobert could see fewer minutes in his first game back from the […]

Kyle Anderson Out Versus Mavs

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (back) won't play against the Mavericks. He didn't suit up on Monday in the first installment of the two-game set with Dallas, allowing Austin Rivers to enter the starting lineup and finish with 16 points, five rebounds, and a steal. Considering Rivers played 37 minutes in that one, he is […]

Kyrie Irving Out On Wednesday Night

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (calf) won't play on Wednesday against the shorthanded Golden State Warriors. During warmups, Irving experienced tightness in his calf, so head coach Jacque Vaughn opted for the safe approach and keep him out. In the meantime, Ben Simmons will take over at the one, with Edmond Sumner expected to get […]

Gary Trent Jr. Questionable Again On Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (quadriceps) is questionable for Wednesday's contest versus the Knicks. Trent has missed the last three games due to left quad soreness, so fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if he's ruled out. If that's the case, Malachi Flynn, who's averaged 6.6 points in 19 games this season, could be in […]

Jayson Tatum Will Play On Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (personal reasons) isn't on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's meeting with the Pacers. He didn't play on Sunday in the loss to Orlando, opening the door for Grant Williams to enter the starting lineup and finish with 14 points, six rebounds, and three assists in 31 minutes. That said, […]

Grant Williams Probable Against Indiana

Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams (illness) is probable for Wednesday's meeting against Indiana. The 24-year-old got the start for Jayson Tatum (personal) on Sunday versus Orlando, logging 14 points, six rebounds, and three assists in 31 minutes. However, with Tatum expected back, Williams would return to his usual role from the bench, so his fantasy […]

Marcus Smart Questionable For Meeting With Indy

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers. It's not COVID, so even if he sits this one out, he will probably be good to go on Friday versus Minnesota. In the meantime, fantasy managers should expect Derrick White and Malcolm Brogdon to get additional minutes if Smart […]

Khris Middleton Unlikely To Play Against Cleveland

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee) isn't expected to play on Wednesday versus Cleveland. The veteran missed his previous two games because of knee soreness, so if he's out again, rookie MarJon Beauchamp could be in line for another start. The 22-year-old has averaged only 8.1 points and 5.0 rebounds in seven starts this season, […]

Andrew Wiggins Remains Sidelined On Tuesday

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (groin) won't play on Tuesday night in New York. He'll now be out for his eighth consecutive game, so it's anyone's guess when he'll be back. With Stephen Curry (shoulder) also out, Jordan Poole is the favorite to lead the offense. Klay Thompson, who has struggled in the last […]

Klay Thompson Probable Against The Knicks

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (knee) is expected to play against the Knicks on Tuesday. The veteran is listed on the injury report with a sore left knee. However, this is nothing new, so barring a significant setback, he should be out there. Thompson has struggled in the two games that Stephen Curry (shoulder) […]

Gabe Vincent Will Miss Another Game

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (knee) won't play on Tuesday versus the visiting Bulls, marking his eighth consecutive absence. Kyle Lowry (knee) is out, so Tyler Herro may run things at the point once again. The reigning Sixth Man of the Year has combined for 62 points in the last two games with Lowry out […]

Caleb Martin Questionable Against The Bulls

Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's meeting with the Bulls. The 27-year-old didn't play against the Spurs on Saturday in Mexico City because of a sprained left ankle. With Kyle Lowry (knee) also questionable and Gabe Vincent (knee) out for this one, guys like Duncan Robinson and Victor Oladipo could receive […]

Kyle Lowry In Danger Of Missing Tuesday's Game

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Chicago Bulls. The 36-year-old has missed the team's last two games, resulting in Tyler Herro sliding over to the one spot to combine for 62 points during his absence. That said, if Lowry remains out, Herro is a lock for every fantasy […]

Jimmy Butler Expected To Play Versus Chicago

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is expected to play on Tuesday against Chicago. The veteran will probably continue to make routine appearances on the injury report moving ahead because of his nagging knee issue, so fantasy managers should take things on a game-by-game basis. Despite the ailment, Butler has averaged 21.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Injured In Loss To Minnesota

Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (groin) was injured during Monday night's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Mavs were already entering this one without Tim Hardaway Jr. (illness), Dwight Powell (thigh) and Maxi Kleber (hamstring), so adding another player to the growing list wouldn't be ideal. The 29-year-old has started in all 30 of his […]

Tyler Boyd Gets Back On Track Versus The Bucs

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd (finger) caught all five targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. The veteran was questionable entering this one because of a dislocated finger suffered in the AFC North battle against the Cleveland Browns. However, despite the chance that Boyd would miss […]
