James Harden Notches Triple-Double In Return To Houston

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden was back in Houston Wednesday night and had a vintage performance with 29 points, 14 assists, and 10 rebounds. He missed only five of his 15 shots and was 4-for-8 from downtown with a 5-for-7 record at the charity stripe. Harden's work also included three steals and one block with […]

Collin Sexton Drops 32 Points

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton finished with 32 points, four rebounds, 10 assists, and three steals during 43 minutes in Wednesday's loss to Indiana. Sexton has been on fire recently, having dropped at least 27 points in five of the last six games while also posting at least 32 points in the last two games. […]

T.J. McConnell Posts Triple-Double

Indiana Pacers guard T.J. McConnell compiled 16 points, four rebounds, 13 assists, 10 steals, and one block in 36 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers. The guard has been averaging 6.3 points per game this season, so this triple-double was easily his best performance of the season. What's encouraging is McConnell […]

Malcolm Brogdon Goes For 29 Points

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon finished with 29 points, four rebounds, three assists, and two steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers. Brogdon continued to play well in the win, having now posted at least 20 points in five of the last six games. The 28-year-old has been averaging a stellar 21.3 […]

Tobias Harris Puts Up 20-Point Double-Double In Return

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris returned from a two-game absence and looked great in an overtime victory over Utah. Harris dropped 22 points with 10 rebounds, two assists, a block, and a steal in 38 minutes. The 28-year-old had no limitations with his knee, which had cost him the last two games, as he played […]

Bojan Bogdanovic Stays Hot From Beyond The Arc

Utah Jazz forward Bojan Bogdanovic scored 18 points with five rebounds and four triples in a 131-123 loss to the 76ers on Wednesday. Bogdanovic has still had a couple of shaky shooting performances lately, but he seems to have found his shooting stroke in a stretch from late February into early March. Over his last […]

Joel Embiid Puts Up Monster Numbers In Win Over Jazz

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid had a monster game in an overtime win over the Jazz. Embiid scored 40 points with 19 rebounds, three assists, two triples- one of which he hit with five seconds left to force overtime- two blocks, and a steal in 40 minutes. The rebounds were a season-high, while the points […]

Alex Caruso Out On Wednesday Evening

Los Angeles Lakers guard Alex Caruso (neck) won't play on Wednesday against the Kings. The 27-year-old is dealing with spasms after suffering the injury on Tuesday night against Phoenix. Caruso is averaging 5.8 points, 2.4 assists, and a steal through 19 minutes of action, so hopefully, he will be able to return upon completion of […]

Kyle Kuzma Starting Against Sacramento

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (foot) will start on Wednesday evening against Sacramento. The 25-year-old is currently dealing with a bruise on his right heel, but luckily, he will be able to suit up for a team without LeBron James (ankle) and Anthony Davis (Achilles). Kuzma is averaging 14.6 throughout 10 starts during the […]

Darius Garland Injured On Wednesday Night

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (groin) was injured during Wednesday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers. The 21-year-old suffered a left groin strain, an injury that forced him to head back to the locker room warily after only 19 minutes of play. Before his premature departure, Garland had 16 points and five assists. With the All-Star […]

DraftKings EuroLeague DFS Lineup Picks for 3/4/21 - Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Round 28 of the EuroLeague season is back to the balanced split of games that we are used to. Four of the games will be played today with the other five going on Friday. That gives us a few more options to choose from. I had solid picks yesterday, but was too heavy on the […]

Buddy Hield Starting On Wednesday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Buddy Hield (ankle) will start on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Hield suffered a sprained right ankle during the matchup against the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday night but appears well enough to give it a go against the defending champs. The 28-year-old has logged heavy minutes throughout the year and gains […]

Kyle Kuzma Questionable Against Sacramento

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (foot) has been deemed questionable ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Sacramento. Kuzma is dealing with a bruise on his right heel, which puts him in danger of joining Anthony Davis (Achilles) and LeBron James (ankle) on the sidelines. If he does play, however, he will automatically gain attention from […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Out On Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (wrist) won't play against the Trail Blazers on Wednesday evening. The 25-year-old is dealing with a sprained left wrist, an injury that puts him in danger of being held out until after the All-Star break. While Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Andrew Wiggins will likely benefit in terms […]

Marcus Morris Doubtful For Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris (head) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. He suffered a concussion during Tuesday's game, so it's unlikely that he'll suit up here. Kawhi Leonard (back) is also listed as questionable for this contest. The shorthanded Clippers could have to lean on Lou Williams, Reggie […]

Kawhi Leonard Could Miss Thursday's Contest

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. He was a late scratch on Tuesday, so it wouldn't be shocking to see the team hold him out for the final game before the All-Star break. His absence would mean more chances for Lou Williams and […]

Danilo Gallinari Will Start On Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari will move into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. The absence of Clint Capela (foot) will provide Gallinari with plenty of chances on Wednesday. He is coming off a rough performance during his last outing, but has played well during a majority of the season. He […]

Elfrid Payton Doubtful For Thursday

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He has been sidelined for the last week, so it would be surprising to see Payton play right before the All-Star break. Derrick Rose seems to be always tagged as questionable, so Frank Ntilikina could be asked […]

David Nwaba Out At Least Six Weeks

Houston Rockets forward David Nwaba (wrist) is not expected to be back on the court anytime soon. On Wednesday, he underwent right wrist surgery and should be sidelined at least six weeks. That is a crushing blow to a Rockets team that is already missing Eric Gordon (knee) and Danuel House (knee). Fantasy managers should […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Questionable For Thursday

San Antonio Spurs center LaMarcus Aldridge (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The veteran big man missed their last game due to illness and it sounds like he could be sidelined again here. The Spurs are still without Derrick White, Rudy Gay, and Devin Vassell due to the […]

Clint Capela Sitting Out On Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. This isn't shocking news as it sounded like Capela was going to sit out coming into this game. John Collins, Onyeka Okongwu, and Danilo Gallinari will split up the minutes at center. Collins is obviously the best fantasy […]

Luka Doncic Ruled Out On Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This doesn't appear to be a significant injury, but the Mavs are going to be cautious heading into the All-Star break. Jalen Brunson, Trey Burke, and Tim Hardaway Jr. will be asked to pick up the slack. […]

Gordon Hayward Available, Cody Zeller To Miss Another Game

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hand) is available to play Wednesday, while Cody Zeller (hip) will miss another contest. Hayward was upgraded from questionable to probable earlier, though he said how playing through the hand injury made it worse. Playing through some pain, Hayward can still be activated in season-long leagues, though it might be […]

Domantas Sabonis, Jeremy Lamb Will Play Against Cavaliers

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (ankle) and forward Jeremy Lamb (knee) are available against the Cavaliers on Wednesday. Forward Doug McDermott (tooth) will also take the court. Sabonis was considered a game-time call, though he apparently navigated his way through warm-ups well enough to get the green light. He shouldn't be limited in any way, […]

Lauri Markkanen To Miss Another Game

Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday against the Pelicans. Markkanen was listed as doubtful, which was a glimmer of hope- as the team had been ruling him out well before game-time. The team will have to wait for his services until after the All-Star break- though that means he'll […]

Evan Fournier Won't Suit Up On Wednesday

Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier (groin) won't take the court on Wednesday against the Hawks. Fournier is dealing with a strained groin and will get the All-Star break to rest his ailment. Terrence Ross will make his second start of the year with James Ennis (calf) out for another game. Ross and Michael Carter-Williams should […]

Bam Adebayo Listed As Questionable For Thursday

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee) is questionable for Thursday's contest against the Pelicans. Adebayo has yet to miss a game as he continues to deal with left knee tendonitis, though Tuesday was the first game where he struggled, albeit in a tough matchup against Clint Capela. Before that game, the 23-year-old had rattled off […]
