Danilo Gallinari Questionable Against Chicago

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (ankle) is questionable for Friday's matchup against Chicago. The veteran continues to deal with soreness in his left ankle and didn't play on Wednesday against Memphis as a result. If Gallinari can't suit up against the Bulls, expect Solomon Hill to benefit the most from a minutes standpoint, although he […]

Clint Capela Questionable On Friday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (Achilles) has been classified as questionable for Friday night's matchup against the Bulls. The 26-year-old missed Wednesday's encounter with the Grizzlies while continuing to battle intermittent soreness in his left Achilles. Without Capela in the lineup against Chicago, Onyeka Okongwu will likely get the start once again, with the rookie […]

Serge Ibaka Still Not Ready For Return

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center Serge Ibaka (back) will not play on Thursday night against Phoenix. The big man will now miss his 13th consecutive outing while working his way back from lower back soreness. Marcus Morris Sr. and Nicolas Batum should continue to benefit. However, neither man should be considered a viable fantasy option unless […]

DraftKings EuroLeague DFS Lineup Picks for 4/9/21 - Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

The last day of the EuroLeague regular season is here. Real Madrid locked up a playoff spot yesterday, leaving just one slot left unclaimed. Valencia took out Vitoria-Gasteiz and are now in the driver's seat. St. Petersburg has a game today and a makeup game on Tuesday. If they lose either of those, Valencia will […]

Willie Cauley-Stein Remains Out Against Milwaukee

Dallas Mavericks center Willie Cauley-Stein remains out on Thursday night against Milwaukee. The veteran hasn't played since mid-March while adhering to the league's health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19. The 27-year-old hasn't contributed much this season, so his absence won't impact fantasy managers, primarily since he likely isn't on many teams anyway. Nicolo Melli and […]

Maxi Kleber Available On Thursday Night

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (leg) will play on Thursday evening against the Bucks. Kleber has been dealing with soreness in his right leg, an injury that forced him to miss a few games over the last week. With the 29-year-old back in the equation against Milwaukee, Nico Melli may see a slight reduction in […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Out Again

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will not play on Thursday against Dallas. The reigning MVP has been dealing with soreness in his left knee and will now miss his third straight outing as a result. In his place, Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday should both receive hefty boosts in both usage and differential, with […]

Gorgui Dieng Still Dealing With Shoulder Injury

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Gorgui Dieng (shoulder) is questionable Friday against the Denver Nuggets. Dieng suffered a shoulder sprain in his Spurs debut, but has been able to play the last two games after missing two games. Dieng does not have a clear path to minutes with Jakob Poeltl and Drew Eubanks taking away the […]

Lonnie Walker IV Questionable Friday Night

San Antonio Spurs guard Lonnie Walker IV (wrist) is questionable to play Friday against the Denver Nuggets. Walker has missed nine straight games with the wrist injury, but is expected back at some point during this road trip. The road trip spans until April 14th so it's unclear when he will actually return, but it […]

Wesley Matthews Starting For Kyle Kuzma Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Wesley Matthews will start Thursday against the Miami Heat with Kyle Kuzma (calf) out. Kuzma was originally starting for LeBron James (ankle) as the Lakers get thinner on the wing. Matthews is a low-end threes and steals streamer as a starter and Montrezl Harrell should also see some extra run on […]

Larry Nance Jr. Lost Close To 20 Pounds Due To Illness

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (illness) has lost close to 20 pounds dealing with an undisclosed illness over the past week and a half. Nance has not played since March 27th and looks like he could be a ways away from getting back into game shape given this news. Kevin Love has been starting […]

Malachi Flynn Making First Career Start Thursday

Toronto Raptors guard Malachi Flynn will earn his first career start on Thursday with Deandre Bembry (suspension) out against the Chicago Bulls. Flynn has been a solid streamer with Kyle Lowry (foot) and Fred VanVleet (hip) out, both of which also received a one-game suspension. Flynn and the Raptors still have four games left in […]

Myles Turner To Sit Against Orlando

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) will not suit up Friday night against the Orlando Magic. Turner will miss his second straight game with a sprained ankle and is likely a little ways out from returning, given the fact he was ruled out over a day in advance. Goga Bitadze started and played well in […]

Malcolm Brogdon And Domantas Sabonis Questionable Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (hip) and forward/center Domantas Sabonis (ankle) are questionable to play Friday against the Orlando Magic. Both players were questionable on Wednesday with their respective ailments, but were ultimately ruled out before tip-off. They will likely end up being game-time decisions so make sure to check back before the games lock. […]

John Wall Will Sit First Game Of Back-To-Back

Houston Rockets point guard John Wall (rest) will not play Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Wall will likely not play in both ends of a back-to-back for the remainder of the season so this is to be expected. Wall went off Wednesday after a multi-game absence and put up 31 points and seven assists […]

Brandon Ingram And Kira Lewis Jr. Questionable Again

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (foot) and guard Kira Lewis Jr. (calf) are both questionable to play Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Both Ingram and Lewis have been out for the past week, give or take, and have been closer to game-time decisions for most of that time. Ingram seems closer to returning of […]

Lonzo Ball Added To Friday's Injury Report

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (hip) now questionable to play Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Ball returned from a hip flexor injury and has played well over the past three games including a back-to-back set, but now is back on the injury report ahead of Friday. It is unclear what kind of setback Ball […]

Jusuf Nurkic Available Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (knee) is available for Thursday night's game against the Jazz. Nurkic missed a game with right knee inflammation but will be back out there, presumably with a cap on his minutes. Enes Kanter will likely return to the bench unit, though he could still be a factor in DFS […]

Kyle Kuzma Ruled Out Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Miami. It wasn't a good sign when Kuzma went from probable to a game-time call- and the team ultimately opted to sit him for the contest after he experienced tightness in his leg during shootaround. His absence will be felt […]

Luguentz Dort, Isaiah Roby Out Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Luguentz Dort (concussion) and forward Isaiah Roby (concussion) have been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Cavaliers. This will be Dort's seventh absence and Roby's third, as both players remain in the league's concussion protocols. Aleksej Pokusevski should be in line for heavy usage once again, with Theo Maledon and […]

Tyler Herro Suiting Up Thursday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) is suiting up for Thursday's game against the Lakers. Herro was expected to play, though it's nice to get the official word. Herro looked good in his last outing on Tuesday, scoring 19 points on 7-for-10 shooting. He should be expected to play his usual number of minutes, albeit […]

Kristaps Porzingis Expected To Play Thursday

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) was left off the team's injury report, suggesting that he'll be playing for the second leg of the team's back-to-back on Thursday against the Bucks. The Mavericks have managed Porzingis' workload this year, though it appears as if the team may be ready to turn him loose for both […]

Zach LaVine, Coby White, Lauri Markkanen Suiting Up Thursday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (ankle) and guard Coby White (neck) are available to play in Thursday's game against the Raptors. Forward Lauri Markkanen (leg) is also suiting up for the contest. All three were considered probable- and have yet to miss time for their respective ailments, so this doesn't come as too surprising. All […]

Mike Conley Available Thursday

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (rest) will be able to suit up for the second half of his team's back-to-back on Thursday. The team has generally opted to rest Conley for one-half of back-to-backs, though he'll be available for the contest against Portland. The veteran guard managed to net 18 points in his first meeting […]

Andre Drummond Will Play, Kyle Kuzma A Game-Time Call Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers center Andre Drummond (toe) will suit up for Thursday's game against the Heat. Forward Kyle Kuzma (calf) is a game-time call. Drummond is in line to enter the starting five for a tricky matchup with Heat center Bam Adebayo. Los Angeles could really benefit from the presence of Kuzma tonight, as they'll […]

Hello, RotoBallers, and welcome back to Thunder Dan's NBA best bets! I have been trying to squeeze in some betting content between my daily coverage of NBA and MLB DFS and admittedly, it hasn't been that easy. I hit a low point on Monday, going 0-4 for the first time this season and missing my […]

Anthony Edwards Bounces Back With Efficient 27 Points

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Anthony Edwards bounced back from a shaky outing in his last game. After shooting just 5-for-15 on Monday, Edwards upped his efficiency, knocking down 11 of 21 shot attempts for his 27 points. The rookie guard added five boards, three assists, a pair of three-pointers, and a steal in 34 minutes of […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Records Eighth Straight Double-Double

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns scored a game-high 32 points with 12 rebounds in a 141-137 loss to the Pacers Wednesday. It's Towns' eighth straight double-double- and it came with some uber-efficient shooting from the field, as the big man shot 12-for-17, his best percentage on a minimum of 15 attempts this season. The former […]

T.J. McConnell Hands Out 15 Assists In Wednesday's Victory

Indiana Pacers guard T.J. McConnell played an excellent all-around game in Wednesday's win over the Timberwolves. McConnell replaced Malcolm Brogdon (hip) in the starting lineup for the fourth straight game and didn't disappoint, matching his season-high 15 assists. The veteran guard scored 19 points on 9-for-12 shooting, chipping in three rebounds, a pair of steals, […]
