Brandon Knight Starting Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard Brandon Knight (quad) will start against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. Knight tweaked his quad on Sunday and was questionable to play, but ultimately felt good enough with a couple day's rest. With Derrick Rose (ankle), Bruce Brown Jr. (knee) and Luke Kennard (knee) all out, Knight will be a popular […]

Victor Oladipo Has Some Swelling In Knee

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (knee) will not play Monday against the San Antonio Spurs. Reports have stated Oladipo's knee had experienced swelling at shootaround today. This is unfortunate news as Oladipo was just starting to look like himself again. With Oladipo out, Aaron Holiday will get the spot start and could get more run […]

Seth Curry Out Against Bulls

Dallas Mavericks guard Seth Curry (back) will not play against the Chicago Bulls. Curry was questionable with a sore back, but it is wise to not risk any aggravation, especially on the second night of a back-to-back. It is a shame as Curry was on a hot streak, but the Mavs will likely turn to […]

Anthony Davis Ruled Out Against Former Team

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (knee) will not play against the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday. After being questionable then a game-time decision, Davis was ultimately ruled out ahead of the contest with knee soreness. It sounds like he was close to playing, so hopefully this is not a long-term injury. Without Davis, Kyle […]

Jakob Poeltl Diagnosed With MCL Sprain

San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl (knee) has been diagnosed with a MCL sprain and has no timetable to return. Poeltl was serviceable as the backup big man and was one of the better per-minute contributors this season, especially with blocks. LaMarcus Aldridge (shoulder) is also dealing with an injury and is doubtful for Monday's […]

Anthony Davis Game-Time Decision Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (knee) is now a game-time decision against the New Orleans Pelicans. Davis is dealing with a sore knee and is danger of sitting against his former team. If Davis is unable to go, Kyle Kuzma and Dwight Howard will likely see increased value in the short-term.

De'Aaron Fox Good To Go On Sunday

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (abdominal) will play and start Sunday against the Detroit Pistons. Fox was questionable with some lower abdominal tightness, but said he will play. This came to be true as Fox is listed as a starter and no minutes restrictions are being reported. The Pistons are ranked 20th in fantasy […]

Christian Wood Will Play Sunday Against Kings

Detroit Pistons forward/center Christian Wood (foot) will play and start Sunday against the Sacramento Kings. Wood was questionable and a borderline game-time decision, but he will play through a foot sprain on Sunday. Wood has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the trade deadline. Despite head coach Dwayne Casey putting him in and out […]

Paul Millsap Out Sunday With Ankle Sprain

Denver Nuggets forward Paul Millsap (ankle) will not play Sunday against the Toronto Raptors. Millsap cannot catch a break as he has missed a total of 20 games coming into Sunday. With another inactive coming, Jerami Grant will start and be a popular DFS play in this slate. He also is a deeper league add, […]

Serge Ibaka And Fred VanVleet Both Out Sunday

Toronto Raptors forward/center Serge Ibaka (knee) and guard Fred Vanvleet (shoulder) will not play Sunday against the Denver Nuggets. Both players were questionable, but ultimately could not find their ways onto the court. In VanVleet's absence, Norman Powell will likely see increased value. With Ibaka and Marc Gasol (hamstring) out, Toronto will likely turn to […]

Luka Doncic Listed As Questionable For Friday

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (thumb) is questionable Friday against the Miami Heat. Doncic left Wednesday's game with a thumb injury, but was able to return and finish the game. Recent reports confirmed Doncic has a sprained left thumb, but the sophomore guard downplayed the injury. The good news is this is not his […]

De'Aaron Fox Will Sit Thursday Night

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (back) will not play Thursday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Fox is dealing with some back tightness and was questionable heading into this contest. With the Kings playing again on Friday, this could be a sit-one, play-one situation, but we will consider him questionable for Friday. Without Fox, […]

LeBron James Ruled Out Thursday Against Golden State

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) will miss Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. James is dealing with a sore groin which limited him last year. So far, the severity is unknown and could just be a rest day against an easier opponent. Kyle Kuzma will likely be the immediate beneficiary and will […]

Along with the top-tier teams comes their stellar defense with the Bucks, Celtics, Raptors and Lakers all […]

Tobias Harris Listed As Doubtful To Play Monday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) suffered a knee contusion and is doubtful to play against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday. Harris suffered the injury in Saturday's game, but played through it. With Ben Simmons (back) already ruled out and Harris likely sitting, the Sixers will rely heavily on Joel Embiid and Josh Richardson on […]

Kyrie Irving Out For Remainder Of Season

Updating a previous report, Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is receiving season-ending shoulder surgery and will miss the rest of the season. From a Nets organization perspective, this is a no-brainer and management is looking at the long-term picture with Kevin Durant (Achilles) on track to play next season. For fantasy, this is […]

Deandre Ayton Officially Out Wednesday Night

As expected, Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the Golden State Warriors. Ayton was doubtful to play the final game before the All-Star Break and will get a much-needed break to rest the ailment. Cheick Diallo will start and likely play all the minutes at the five with the Suns […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/12/20): NBA DFS Lineups

Wednesday has the last big slate before the All-Star Break with 22 teams playing in this slate. With many teams opting to rest some players with the long break ahead, we may see the return of Luke Doncic (ankle) with the hopes we get to see him in his first All-Star appearance. The featured game […]

Jimmy Butler Starting Against Golden State

Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler (shoulder) will play against the Golden State Warriors on Monday night. Butler returns from a two-game absence, but figures to be good to resume his normal role with the starters. With Butler back, Kelly Olynyk will shift back to the bench and Bam Adebayo will slide over to the starting […]

Deandre Ayton Ruled Out Against Lakers

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) will not play Monday night against the Los Angeles Lakers. Ayton was questionable, then downgraded to doubtful before being ultimately ruled out for Monday's showdown against the Lakers. Both Dario Saric (ankle) and AAron Baynes (hip) have already been ruled out, which means Cheick Diallo will get all the […]

DeMar DeRozan Late Scratch On Monday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward DeMar DeRozan (back) will not play Monday against the Denver Nuggets. DeRozan was a late scratch with back spasms and likely picked up the injury during warmups. This is incredibly frustrating for owners as this was announced right after tip-off Monday night. Lonnie Walker IV is starting for the Spurs and […]

D'Angelo Russell Will Make Minnesota Debut Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (quad) will play against the Toronto Raptors on Monday. Russell will be making his first appearance in a Minnesota jersey after being listed as questionable. Russell had missed a few games here and there with the ailment, but there are no minutes restrictions being reported. With Russell likely slotting into […]

Mike Conley Will Rest Monday

Utah Jazz point guard Mike Conley (rest) will not play Monday against the Dallas Mavericks. Conley was playing well lately, but this is a part of Conley's recovery process to make sure he does not aggravate his hamstring. With Conley out, Royce O'Neal is a likely candidate to reenter the starting lineup. Joe Ingles will […]

Jabari Parker Will Not Play Monday

Sacramento Kings forward Jabari Parker (shoulder) is out versus the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night. Parker is still looking to make his Kings debut, but it will be postponed for the time being. The Kings could use an extra big with Richaun Holmes (shoulder) and Marvin Bagley (foot) both out through the All-Star break. For […]

Zion Williamson Will Not Play Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (ankle) will not play Saturday night against the Indiana Pacers. Williamson was a game-time call after dealing with an ankle sprain, but was ultimately ruled out. With Brandon Ingram (ankle) also out, Nicolo Melli and Josh Hart will get the spot starts. Hart is the better overall option while […]

Glenn Robinson III, Alec Burks Sitting Wednesday

Golden State Warriors guards Glenn Robinson III and Alec Burks will both be held out of Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Neither player is injured, but they are being held out due to possible trades over the next day with the deadline on Thursday. Without Robinson and Burks, the Warriors will start Eric Paschall […]

Tristan Thompson Ruled Out Ahead Of Trade Deadline

Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson (quad) will not play Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Thompson missed Monday's game and today's shootaround so this comes at no surprise. However, this does come in the midst of trade rumors so there may be more at play behind the scenes. Regardless, John Henson is projected to start, […]
