Jonas Valanciunas Is Available Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (knee) will play Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Valanciunas had some knee soreness following Monday's game and was questionable to play, but looks good to go. Valanciunas has a little injury history so hopefully he gets through unscathed. If Valanciunas is limited, Brandon Clarke will likely be the biggest beneficiary.

Markieff Morris Out With Illness

Detroit Pistons forward/center Markieff Morris (illness) will not play Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns. Morris was originally dealing with a hip injury, but will be sitting due to illness. This could be due to a possible trade in the works, but that is only speculation at this point. Christian Wood will likely get some more […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/4/20): NBA DFS Lineups

After what seemed like an eternity, we are finally in the month of February which brings the NBA trade deadline. Around this time of year, teams become buyers and sellers which leads to players being kept out in order to not hurt their trade value due to injury. Although most of these aren't linked to […]

Brandon Clarke Will Miss Friday Night Against Pelicans

Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke (hip) will not play Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Clarke was going to have a much bigger workload with Jaren Jackson Jr. (suspension) serving his one-game suspension, but will not be able to suit up. Jonas Valanciunas has huge upside here while Jae Crowder and Kyle Anderson will see […]

Elfrid Payton Suspended One Game

New York Knicks point guard Elfrid Payton (suspension) will miss Saturday night's game against the Indiana Pacers due to suspension. Payton is receiving the one-game suspension due to his role in an altercation between the Knicks and Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday. With Payton out, Dennis Smith Jr. will likely start while Frank Ntilikina will likely […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Suspended One Game

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (suspension) will miss Friday night's game against the New Orleans Pelicans with a one-game suspension. There was an altercation between Memphis and the New York Knicks which resulted in multiple fines and suspensions. Jackson is receiving the suspension due to him leaving the bench during the altercation. Without Jackson, […]

Marvin Bagley To Be Re-Evaluated In Three Weeks

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley (foot) will be re-evaluated in three weeks. Bagley saw a foot specialist for a second opinion and confirmed his foot injury is a foot sprain. This is a huge blow to Bagley, the Kings and fantasy owners holding him as Bagley will most likely be out until after the All-Star […]

Clint Capela And James Harden Playing Wednesday

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela (heel) and guard James Harden (thigh) will both play Wednesday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. Capela and Harden missed Monday's contest with their respective ailments and earned a questionable tag for Wednesday. However, they will both make their returns to the starting lineups against Portland. Austin Rivers and Eric […]

Andre Drummond Available Wednesday Against Brooklyn

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond (wrist) is expected to play Wednesday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Drummond was questionable with a left wrist sprain, but should be fine with his normal workload. His play should not be affected too much either as this is his non-shooting hand. The Nets are the 12th-ranked defense against centers […]

Things start to slow down considerably on Wednesday with only six games on the slate.

I am sure it goes without saying, but we all are thinking of the families involved and should continue to celebrate the life and legacy of the Bryant […]

Kyrie Irving Not With Team Sunday

Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving (personal) will not play against the New York Knicks on Sunday. Irving was very close with NBA legend Kobe Bryant and most likely left the team to grieve the horrible news we received today surrounding Bryant. With Irving out, Spencer Dinwiddie will most likely reenter the starting lineup and […]

Andre Drummond Out Again After Being Listed As Probable

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond (mouth) will not play Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Drummond was originally probable then downgraded to questionable before being ruled out entirely. Drummond will miss his second straight game with the ailment and Thon Maker will likely start in his place. However, Christian Wood is also a good bet to […]

Steven Adams Will Sit Out Friday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (ankle) will not play Friday against the Atlanta Hawks. Adams was questionable with an ankle injury, but will miss his second straight game with the ailment. Nerlens Noel will start and be a solid DFS target in Friday's slate. The Thunder play again on Saturday and Adams will likely […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/22/20): NBA DFS Lineups

The NBA has sandwiched a crazy amount of games in the beginning of this week. After 14 games on MLK day, we saw just one game on Tuesday which will be followed up with 12 games on Wednesday. The stars are out with so many games in the slate. Let's jump into some picks in […]

Evan Fournier Starting On Thursday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier (quad) will play and start Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Fournier missed Wednesday's game with the quad injury and was a game-time decision for Thursday. However, he went through warmups without any hiccups and is good to go. Wesley Iwundu will move back to the bench after scoring a […]

Jamal Murray Expected To Miss Multiple Games

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is expected to miss "multiple games" with an ankle injury. Murray turned his ankle on Wednesday and was in visible pain. X-Rays and an MRI both came back clean, but the Denver guard is still expected to be out for the foreseeable future. Monte Morris is the clear-cut winner […]

Reggie Bullock Out, Marcus Morris In Thursday Night

New York Knicks forward Marcus Morris (neck) will return from a five-game absence, but guard Reggie Bullock (neck) will not be able to go against the Phoenix Suns Thursday. Bullock was holding onto the starting spot with Morris out, so Morris will return to his normal starting role here. With Bullock out, Kadeem Allen and […]

Jaylen Brown Ruled Out Thursday With Thumb Injury

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (thumb) will not play Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Brown is battling a thumb sprain and was originally listed as questionable to play. Brown's absence will leave more minutes for Marcus Smart who could have a tall task in helping on Giannis Antetokounmpo on defense. Brown's injury is not deemed […]

P.J. Tucker Good To Go Wednesday

Houston Rockets forward P.J. Tucker (shoulder) will play Wednesday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. Tucker is an iron man when it comes to injuries so it is no surprise he decided to play through a shoulder stinger. Tucker has been quiet lately and a should injury doesn't help much, but he most likely won't […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Continues To Sit

The "questionable" saga continues as Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) will not play Wednesday night against the Indiana Pacers. Towns has been listed as questionable for weeks so this comes with little to no surprise. Gorgui Dieng will continue to start at center while Naz Reid will get the backup big minutes.

Derrick Favors, Jrue Holiday And Brandon Ingram Out Monday

The New Orleans Pelicans will be without forward/center Derrick Favors (hamstring), guard Jrue Holiday (elbow) and guard/forward Brandon Ingram (knee) Monday against the Detroit Pistons. J.J. Redick (hamstring) was already ruled out so New Orleans will be severely undermanned in this one. The Pelicans are running a starting lineup of Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart, E'Twaun […]

Paul George Ruled Out Friday With Hamstring Strain

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (hamstring) will not play Friday against the Golden State Warriors. George missed their game on January 4th with the same hamstring injury, but it was originally diagnosed as tightness. The team is now calling this a strain which calls for a little more concern, especially considering their last game […]

Eric Gordon Will Not Play Thursday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) will not play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday. Gordon warmed up, but was not expected to play given he just came back from knee surgery and this is the second night of a back-to-back set. In Gordon's absence, Ben McLemore and Austin Rivers will likely receive increased […]

Danilo Gallinari Will Play Thursday Night

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Danilo Gallinari (calf) will play against the Houston Rockets Thursday night. Gallinari was inactive, then upgraded to questionable before being able to play after missing one game with the injury. Gallinari should return to the starting lineup, pushing Darius Bazley back to the bench where he will lose mostly all his […]

Hassan Whiteside Available To Play Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside (illness) will play Thursday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Whiteside was dealing with an upper respiratory illness, but seems to have recovered enough to play Thursday. There is no report of any restrictions, so he should be good to go with his normal role. He faces the Timberwolves who are […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Will Sit Yet Again

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) will not play Thursday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Towns continues to creep towards a return after going through practice and being listed as a game-time decision. However, it appears Towns will still need more time to recover. Gorgui Dieng could feast against Portland with Hassan Whiteside (illness) possibly […]
