Shake Milton Notches 28 Points As Starter

Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton made his second start of the season in Saturday's win over the Kings, producing 28 points in 36 minutes of action. He shot 9-for-17 from the field and 9-for-11 at the charity stripe. Milton also handed out a pair of dimes and had one steal. The 24-year-old took full advantage […]

Tobias Harris Leads Sixers To Victory

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris had a great night on Saturday, finishing a 129-105 win over Sacramento with 29 points, 11 rebounds, eight assists, and two steals. He got off to a red-hot start and scored 23 first-half points. Harris finished with 12-for-18 shooting from the field and with a 2-for-3 effort from behind the […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (3/21/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Happy Sunday, everyone. After an abbreviated five-game slate on Saturday, the league features a packed schedule to close out the weekend. While FanDuel’s “Main Slate” starts at 7 pm (eastern), four games will reserve the matinee slot for those interested in participating in some late-swap action. Saturday’s small schedule still had plenty of noteworthy takeaways. […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/21/21): NBA DFS Lineups

The NBA schedule has six games on the main slate for Sunday night. Five have an implied point total of 230 or more. One game you'll definitely want exposure is the Dallas Mavericks versus the Portland Trailblazers. Here are three tips on how to attack the overall slate when assembling lineups. First of all, it’s important to […]

Serge Ibaka Won't Play Against Hornets On Saturday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Serge Ibaka (back) won't play on Saturday against the Hornets as he continues to deal with back tightness. This will be Ibaka's third missed game, with center Ivica Zubac being the primary beneficiary of his absence. Zubac is a savvy DFS play, as he had a double-double in Ibaka's first absence, […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Expected To Play Sunday

Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (personal) is expected to play on Sunday against the Trail Blazers. Finney-Smith missed the last two games so he could be there for the birth of his child. Finney-Smith's return could push Tim Hardaway Jr. back to the bench, though fantasy managers can keep rolling the latter out there, as […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Ruled Out Sunday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Rockets. It will be Gilgeous-Alexander's eighth missed game of the season as he continues to deal with a sore shoulder. In his absence, guard Theo Maledon should see added assist opportunities, with Kenrich Williams also likely factoring in. Williams […]

Lonzo Ball Questionable For Sunday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nuggets. Ball has a right hip flexor strain- though he was able to play 38 minutes and put up an effective line in his most recent game. He's probably on the right side of questionable, though if he's unable to suit […]

Tyrese Haliburton, Hassan Whiteside On Minutes Limit Again

Sacramento Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton and center Hassan Whiteside will remain on their minutes' restrictions on Saturday. Considering Haliburton played 32 minutes in his last game, the news may apply more to Whiteside. Haliburton's effectiveness was entirely another matter, as he scored just 4 points, though perhaps he can fare better against a banged-up 76ers […]

Ben Simmons Out Saturday With Knee Soreness

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (knee) won't play Saturday against the Kings. It's surprising, given that Simmons was listed as probable. In his place, Shake Milton and Matisse Thybulle will enter the starting lineup and presumably get plenty of scoring opportunities with Joel Embiid also out. Milton is the more consistent option of the two. […]

LeBron James Out Indefinitely With High-Ankle Sprain

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is out indefinitely with a high-ankle sprain. James injured his ankle during the Lakers' afternoon game against the Hawks and was unable to return. While his X-rays came back negative, Los Angeles will still be without their best player, in addition to Anthony Davis (calf), for at least […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/20/21): NBA DFS Lineups

The NBA takes a bit of a backseat with 16 more NCAA games going on tonight. There are only four games on the main NBA slate tonight with the Hawks and Lakers playing a matinee in L.A. If you're going to mess around with that showdown, I would say build around LeBron and Montrezl Harrell. […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (3/20/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

As March Madness rolls on with all the hoops you can handle, the professionals continue to push toward the postseason. With only four games available on FanDuel’s “Main Slate,” starting at 8 pm (eastern), there is less room for error, especially for those looking to take down those bigger GPP contests. We have some big-time […]

Montrezl Harrell Leads Lakers In Scoring On Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Montrezl Harrell recorded a team-high 23 points in Saturday's loss to Atlanta, with LeBron James making an early exit with an ankle injury. Harrell also grabbed 11 rebounds for his fifth double-double of the season, adding one assist and one block on 10-for-13 shooting. With Anthony Davis (calf) already out for […]

LeBron James Has MRI

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) had an MRI performed on Saturday. The results are still pending. The veteran injured his right ankle during the matinee matchup against the Atlanta Hawks and did not return. This is not good news, especially since James has been riding the league's official injury report for weeks while […]

Trae Young Notches Double-Double Despite Poor Shooting

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young went an ugly 0-for-7 with the three-ball on Saturday against the Lakers, but still managed a double-double in a 99-94 win with 14 points and 11 assists. He shot 6-for-18 overall from the field and nailed both of his attempts from the free-throw line. Young also had three rebounds […]

John Collins Tallies Big Double-Double In Win Over Lakers

Atlanta Hawks power forward John Collins led the charge in Saturday's 99-94 win over the Lakers, scoring a game-high 27 points and grabbing a season-high 16 rebounds. He shot 11-for-15 from the field and 4-for-5 at the foul line, while picking up three steals and three blocks on the defensive end. The Hawks are streaking […]

James Wiseman Remains Out On Saturday

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman will remain out on Saturday against the Grizzlies. The rookie has missed his last few games while adhering to health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19. With Wiseman out of the mix for the next few games, the team should continue to run small, with Kevon Looney probably getting the […]

Stephen Curry Unlikely To Play Saturday

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (tailbone) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Head coach Steve Kerr mentioned the team is likely going to wait until Curry is back to full health before letting him back on the court. Jordan Poole has been on fire since the All-Star break. He's […]

Blake Griffin Nearing Return

Brooklyn Nets forward Blake Griffin is nearing a return to the court, according to head coach Steve Nash. It sounds like the team is working with Griffin to make it an easy transition back onto the court. It's a new system with a new style of play and new teammates, so it's not always an […]

Mitchell Robinson Listed As Questionable For Sunday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (hand) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was cleared for contact a few days ago, so Robinson is expected to play very soon. His return would make Nerlens Noel a cut-candidate in most formats. Noel doesn't have much upside off the bench unless […]

Elfrid Payton Questionable Against 76ers

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He has missed each of the last four games, but it sounds like he has a chance to play here. His return would mean Immanuel Quickley (ankle) would see significantly less playing time. The Knicks might be […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Doubtful For Sunday

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (quad) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was unable to practice on Saturday, so it sounds likely that Porter will sit here. However, he doesn't have great value when John Wall and Victor Oladipo are healthy. Despite that, Porter is worth holding […]

Goran Dragic Questionable For Sunday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Indiana Pacers. Dragic has been underperforming lately, but possibly the back issue is part of the reason he has struggled. Kendrick Nunn would see a heavier workload, assuming Dragic is unable to suit up. He would be a favorable streaming option […]

Dejounte Murray, Patty Mills Resting Saturday

San Antonio Spurs guards Dejounte Murray (rest) and Patty Mills (rest) have been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Both players are getting a rest day here in the second night of a back-to-back set. Lonnie Walker IV and Derrick White will have favorable DFS value for this one. Walker is an […]

Fantasy Basketball Buy, Sell, or Hold: Russell Westbrook and Victor Oladipo

Trading in fantasy basketball can help you improve your team in the short, as well as in the long term. But, even more than that, it's just plain fun. Negotiating with your mate, going back and forth with offers, and hopefully, reaching a mutually beneficial agreement in the end. It's not always easy to find […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Catches Fire From Beyond The Arc

Dallas Mavericks forward Tim Hardaway Jr. caught fire from beyond the arc in a 125-119 loss to the Trail Blazers. Hardaway scored 25 points with seven treys, five rebounds, and five assists in 40 minutes. It's the fourth time that the 29-year-old has made at least seven triples in a game this season- and the […]
