FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 17 - Daily Fantasy Football

Happy New Year, everyone. Holy moly, what an exciting Week 16 it was, especially for those who opted to roll with Joe Burrow as their starting signal-caller. Tee Higgins also had one hell of a week, so the DFS managers who stacked the duo more than likely won some cash. However, it wasn't all rainbows […]

Robin Lopez Enters COVID-19 Protocols

Orlando Magic center Robin Lopez has entered COVID-19 health and safety protocols and won't suit up against the Bucks. Orlando is short-handed as it is, so losing another body certainly isn't ideal. Nonetheless, Wendell Carter Jr. should handle most of the minutes in the middle on Thursday night, with Moritz Wagner potentially in line to […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Not Available Against The Cavs

Washington Wizards guard Spencer Dinwiddie has entered COVID-19 health and safety protocols and will not be available against the Cavaliers. Fortunately, Bradley Beal is back after a three-game absence because of the same designation, and with Raul Neto on the protocols' list as well, he should handle most of the ball-handling duties versus Cleveland on […]

Bradley Beal Will Return Versus Cleveland

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal will return on Thursday evening against the Cavs. The veteran has missed his previous three outings because of COVID-19 health and safety protocols and had been riding a questionable tag heading into the contest against a Cleveland team that recently lost Ricky Rubio (knee) for the year. Unquestionably, the Wizards […]

Cedi Osman Won't Play Versus Wizards

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman won't suit up on Thursday evening against the Wizards while remaining in COVID-19 health and safety protocols. The 26-year-old has missed his last two contests, and even if he is cleared sometime within the next few games, he will likely need some time to increase his conditioning level. Darius Garland […]

Jarrett Allen Out Again On Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen will not play on Thursday against Washington. Allen has missed his previous three games because of COVID-19 health and safety protocols. However, he has since been cleared but will need more time to ramp up his conditioning level. As a result, Evan Mobley will take his place, with Dean Wade […]

Ricky Rubio Suffers Potentially Serious Knee Injury

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ricky Rubio (knee) was injured during Tuesday's matchup against the Pelicans. Rubio was having a fantastic evening before succumbing to the ailment, finishing with 27 points, 13 rebounds, and nine assists. He will have an MRI on his left knee on Wednesday, but fantasy managers should at least expect him to miss […]

Jae Crowder Not Available Versus OKC

Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder won't play against the Thunder because of COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Wednesday's absence will mark his second straight, and he will be joined by Deandre Ayton, leaving the team down two members of its starting lineup. Nonetheless, without Crowder in the mix, Cameron Johnson should continue to fill the […]

Derrick Jones Jr. Questionable Against Atlanta

Chicago Bulls forward Derrick Jones Jr. (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's bout versus the visiting Hawks. Jones has been plagued by a left hamstring strain, which relegated him to just five minutes throughout his previous five games. The team can certainly use his services, especially with Alex Caruso (foot) out and Lonzo Ball sidelined by […]

Alex Caruso Remains Out On Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (foot) remains out for Wednesday night's game against Atlanta. Caruso is currently nursing a sprained left foot, which he picked during a meeting against the Rockets over a week ago. He should be reevaluated in a few days, but with Lonzo Ball also not playing because of COVID-19 health and […]

Deandre Ayton Listed As Out On Wednesday Evening

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton is listed as out for Wednesday's matchup versus Oklahoma City. Ayton didn't play on Monday either, as he will continue to sit because of health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19. With Jae Crowder out with the same designation, and Frank Kaminsky (knee) unavailable, JaVale McGee should continue to start. However, […]

Marcus Smart Uncertain For Wednesday Night

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (hand) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup versus the visiting Clippers. The veteran didn't play on Monday against the Minnesota Timberwolves because of a cut on his right hand, opening the door Payton Pritchard to enter the starting lineup and finish with 24 points, eight boards, and six assists throughout a […]

P.J. Washington Out Against The Pacers On Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets center P.J. Washington is listed as out heading into Wednesday's outing against Indiana. This will be his second-straight absence as he remains sidelined due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Miles Bridges is on the list as well, so Jalen McDaniels and Mason Plumlee should get some extra minutes against the Pacers. McDaniels […]

Miles Bridges Remains Out On Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges remains listed as out ahead of Wednesday's matchup versus Indiana due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Bridges has played well this season, averaging 19.7 points throughout just over 36 minutes per game. Surely, replacing him won't be easy, although Jalen McDaniels will continue to try his best, with the […]

Aaron Gordon Questionable For Meeting With The Warriors

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is questionable ahead of Tuesday night's meeting against Golden State. The veteran, who is averaging 14 points and 5.5 rebounds, didn't suit up for his last two games because of left hamstring soreness, so the team has unquestionably been missing his production. Nonetheless, if he can't return, Austin Rivers, […]

Jarred Vanderbilt May Play On Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jarred Vanderbilt may play on Tuesday evening against the Knicks after being listed as available on the league's official injury report. The 22-year-old missed his previous three games because of COVID-19 health and safety protocols, opening the door for Jaden McDaniels to get some extra work. Vanderbilt has played well this season, […]

D'Angelo Russell Returning Against The Knicks

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell will return on Tuesday night against New York. He was out because of COVID-19 health and safety protocols, causing him to miss Monday's matchup versus the Boston Celtics. However, his absence didn't last long, and he will join Karl-Anthony Towns, Patrick Beverley, and Jarred Vanderbilt, who are all also listed […]

Karl-Anthony Towns To Return Against New York

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns is listed as available on the league's official injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Knicks. The 26-year-old missed just two games while adhering to COVID-19 health and safety protocols, so fortunately for fantasy managers, his absence was short-lived. Patrick Beverley, D'Angelo Russell, and Anthony Edwards also cleared protocols, […]

Anthony Edwards Listed As Available For Tuesday Night

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Anthony Edwards is listed as available leading up to Tuesday's outing versus the Knicks. Edwards has been absent for the last five games due to the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Fortunately, the team will also have Patrick Beverley, Karl-Anthony Towns, Jarred Vanderbilt and D'Angelo Russell, who all carried the same designation, […]

Isaac Okoro Questionable Versus Pelicans

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Isaac Okoro is questionable for Tuesday's meeting with New Orleans. The former No. 5 overall pick of the 2020 NBA Draft has missed his previous three games because of health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19. He was cleared a few days ago, but he will need to ramp up his conditioning level […]

Rui Hachimura Questionable Against The Heat

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (personal) is questionable for Tuesday's meeting against Miami. The 23-year-old has yet to make an appearance this year. However, it appears he's nearing a return, although he will need to ramp up his conditioning. Nonetheless, if Hachimura doesn't play, Kyle Kuzma and Deni Avdija should continue to benefit the most, […]

Kyle Lowry Remains In COVID-19 Protocols, Out On Tuesday

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry won't play on Tuesday versus Washington. This will mark the veteran's second straight absence as he continues to adhere to the league's health and safety protocols. It's unknown how long Lowry will be out. However, Gabe Vincent, who had 13 points, eight assists, and five boards while filling in on […]

Dewayne Dedmon Remains Out On Tuesday

Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon (knee) remains out ahead of Tuesday's matchup versus Washington. Dedmon sustained a left knee sprain versus the Detroit Pistons a few nights ago and could miss a couple of weeks. With Bam Adebayo (thumb) also out, Omer Yurtseven should continue to get some extra work. With Kyle Lowry out because […]

Khem Birch Questionable On Tuesday Night

Toronto Raptors forward/center Khem Birch is questionable for Tuesday's meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers. Birch had been sidelined for over a month because of a knee ailment and was nearing a return. However, he then entered the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, a designation he shares with many other team members, including Scottie Barnes, […]

Gary Trent Jr. May Be Back Against 76ers

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. is questionable ahead of Tuesday's meeting with Philadelphia. Pascal Siakam and Khem Birch carry the same designation, with all three men attempting to make it back after missing time due to the COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Nonetheless, if Trent isn't in the lineup against the 76ers, Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk should […]

Pascal Siakam Questionable On Tuesday

Toronto Raptors forward/center Pascal Siakam is questionable for Tuesday's meeting with Philly. The 27-year-old missed his previous two games because of the COVID-19 health and safety protocols, but he may need time to get back into shape. Nonetheless, with the team still missing several key options on the offensive end, there is a good chance […]

Cole Anthony Listed As Out Versus Milwaukee

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (ankle) is listed as out for Tuesday's matchup versus Milwaukee. Anthony has been battling a right ankle sprain and didn't suit up on Sunday against Miami for what was thought to be for maintenance reasons. However, with the 21-year-old now in line to miss his second consecutive contest, it may […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Out On Monday Night

Portland Trail Blazers guard Dennis Smith Jr. entered health and safety protocols and won't play on Monday night against Dallas. Jusuf Nurkic, Ben McLemore, and Robert Covington carry the same designation, and with C.J. McCollum (lung) remaining out, the team will surely be short-handed. Fortunately, Damian Lillard (personal) is available, so he and Norman Powell […]

Robert Covington Out Against Mavericks

Portland Trail Blazers forward Robert Covington won't play against Dallas on Monday after entering health and safety protocols. The veteran joins Jusuf Nurkic, Dennis Smith Jr., and Ben McLemore, who are also out for the same reason. Fortunately, Damian Lillard (personal) will play, so he will likely handle most of the work on the offensive […]

Jusuf Nurkic Enters COVID-19 Protocols, Out On Monday

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic has entered health and safety protocols, making him unavailable for Monday's matchup versus Dallas. Nurkic is averaging nearly a double-double this season, and his absence is even worse, considering the team remains without C.J. McCollum (lung). Robert Covington also won't play, so Larry Nance Jr. and Nassir Little should […]
