CBB DFS: DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks (Main Slate) - Today's Top Lineups (1/6/24)

This is the first Saturday that hoops is all by itself and they are taking full advantage of it. We have three monster slates on tap for today, with almost all of them exclusively Power Six matchups. College basketball will own the space until the end of March. It all starts here! We will focus […]

Joel Embiid Extends Scoring Streak, Injures Knee

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) finished with 30 points, 10 boards, and three blocks in Friday's loss to the New York Knicks. The reigning MVP extended his 30-point scoring streak to 16 games. Unfortunately, he suffered a left knee injury, although he finished the game. Embiid downplayed the ailment while speaking to the media […]

Chris Paul Fractures Hand, Needs Surgery

Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul (hand) was injured in Friday's win over Detroit and was ruled out after logging 24 minutes and finishing with eight points, six boards, and one block. Unfortunately, the team revealed that the 12-time All-Star suffered a fractured left hand and will undergo surgery next week. This isn't an ideal […]

P.J. Washington Doubtful To Return On Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward/center P.J. Washington (ankle) suffered a right ankle injury in Friday's meeting with the Chicago Bulls. He's not expected to return. Another extended absence wouldn't be an ideal scenario for Charlotte, considering the team has been without LaMelo Ball (ankle), Gordon Hayward (calf), and Mark Williams (back). At any rate, if Washington doesn't […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Sidelined Versus The Nuggets

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) won't suit up for Friday's meeting with the Nuggets in Denver. Goga Bitadze (illness), Franz Wagner (ankle), and Markelle Fultz (knee) are also sidelined, so the Magic will need to go deep into their rotation to fill the void. That said, Paolo Banchero, Cole Anthony, and Jalen Suggs […]

Goga Bitadze Out On Friday

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (illness) is out on Friday versus the Denver Nuggets. Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) is also out, joining Markelle Fultz (knee) and Franz Wagner (ankle) on the shelf versus the defending champs. As a result, Moritz Wagner will slide into the starting lineup. The 26-year-old has averaged 10.9 points and 4.4 […]

Gary Trent Jr. Out On Friday Night

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (quadriceps) won't play on Friday night versus the Kings. The 24-year-old was listed as questionable because of a right quad contusion. However, he hasn't played the best this season, averaging 11.3 points, more than six points fewer than last season, so his absence won't significantly impact fantasy managers. Nonetheless, […]

Kevin Durant Officially Out Versus Miami

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (hamstring) remains out on Friday versus the Miami Heat. He's already missed two games because of a right hamstring strain. However, his questionable designation during the day on Friday suggests he's at least moving in a favorable direction. Nonetheless, with Eric Gordon (knee) also sidelined against Miami, Devin Booker and […]

Luka Doncic Sitting Out On Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) won't play on Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers. The multi-time All-Star popped up on the injury report on Friday because of a swollen right ankle, although most knew there was a chance he wouldn't be on the floor. That said, without Doncic in the lineup, Kyrie Irving could […]

Patrick Williams Ruled Out Versus Charlotte

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) won't play on Friday versus the Hornets. The 22-year-old was listed as questionable. However, his absence won't be as significant of a blow for Chicago, considering the team will get Nikola Vucevic (hip) and Zach LaVine (foot) back on Friday night. But with Alex Caruso (neck), Torrey Craig (foot) […]

Pascal Siakam's Trade Discussions "Ramping Up"

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Raptors are "ramping up" trade discussions involving forward Pascal Siakam. Additionally, Charania reported that the Sacramento Kings have emerged as a legitimate suitor. But with the 29-year-old on an expiring contract, his long-term commitment to Sacramento (or any other franchise) is a significant component of a potential […]

Andrew Nembhard Won't Play On Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) won't play on Friday night versus the Atlanta Hawks. The 23-year-old injured his back during Monday's meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks and didn't suit up for the rematch on Wednesday. Although Tyrese Haliburton will see more than enough minutes at the one, others like T.J. McConnell and Bennedict Mathurin […]

Grant Williams Uncertain For Friday

Dallas Mavericks forward Grant Williams (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Both Williams and Dereck Lively II (ankle) were injured during Wednesday's game. Between the two, Lively has been much more impactful on the court this season. Dwight Powell is expected to see more run if one or […]

Lonnie Walker IV, Dennis Smith Probable For Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard Lonnie Walker IV (hamstring) and Dennis Smith Jr. (back) are listed as probable ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Nets have been without Walker since late November. It's a shame because he was playing well before the injury, so hopefully he can provide that spark again once he's […]

Alec Burks Questionable For Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Alec Burks (hamstring) is currently listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The veteran guard lands on the injury report after dropping 27 points in 34 minutes of action during Wednesday's loss. The assumption is that Ausar Thompson would have a bigger role if Burks is forced to […]

Nikola Vucevic Available On Friday

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (groin) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The veteran big man will make his return to the court after missing the last five games due to a groin issue. His return means that Andre Drummond will head back to the bench. It was a nice run […]

Zach LaVine To Return On Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (foot) will make his return to the court ahead of Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The star guard is back in the mix after a 17-game absence. That being said, LaVine will have a minutes limit during Friday's game. LaVine has been the center of trade talk lately, so […]

Gary Trent Jr. Questionable For Friday

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (quad) is currently listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Trent was a late addition to the injury report due to a left quad contusion. His role is expected to take a hit with the team acquiring guard RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley earlier this week. […]

Anthony Davis Expected To Suit Up Against Grizzlies

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (ankle) is currently dealing with a left-ankle sprain/bone bruise, according to the official injury report, but he's still considered probable to play on Friday night. The superstar big man appears on the injury report with all sorts of different ailments, but he's been able to play through most of […]

Jonathan Kuminga Probable For Friday

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (toe) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The young forward has reportedly said that he's not happy with his current role on the team. Kuminga sat out the final 18 minutes of Thursday's loss to the Denver Nuggets. The expectation was that he'd have […]

Dereck Lively II Questionable With Ankle Sprain

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (ankle) suffered a left ankle sprain during their game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. He was forced to exit the game after clocking 18 minutes on the floor and while he didn't score at all, he posted four rebounds, four assists, two steals, and three blocks. After […]

Dante Exum, Richaun Holmes Both Ruled Out On Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (heel) and center Richaun Holmes (personal) have both been downgraded from doubtful to out on Friday. Given the doubtful tag, this isn't a surprise that they're not playing, but at least the team made it official with plenty of time before the game. This will be their second consecutive game […]

Luka Doncic Appears On Injury Report With Ankle Swelling

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) popped up on the injury report on Friday with right ankle swelling and has been tagged as questionable for their game against the Portland Trail Blazers. If the team decided to hold out Doncic against a weaker opponent while Kyrie Irving was healthy, it wouldn't come as that big […]

Tari Eason Downgraded To Out Against Timberwolves

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) was originally listed as questionable on Friday morning, but has since been downgraded and will not play against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is going to be his second consecutive absence while he manages left lower leg soreness. His injury doesn't seem to be too severe since he's received questionable […]

Dillon Brooks Will Miss Fifth Consecutive Game

Houston Rockets forward Dillon Brooks (oblique) has been ruled out on Friday and will miss his fifth game in a row while dealing with a right oblique strain. The defensive specialist has been one of those players whose impact is felt beyond the box score this season. His scoring output and assist numbers may have […]

Malachi Flynn Questionable To Make Knicks Debut On Friday

New York Knicks guard Malachi Flynn (ankle) has been dealing with an ankle sprain since his last game in Toronto on December 29. After being part of the trade that sent OG Anunoby to the Knicks, Flynn has yet to play, so his role on his new team is unclear at the moment. Flynn was […]

Trey Murphy III Draws Another Questionable Tag On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III (knee) has received another questionable tag for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers while he deals with tendonitis in his left knee. Murphy didn't make his season debut until December 1 due to injury, but up until he was dealing with this bout of tendonitis, he posted […]
