NBA DFS Prop Picks for Friday (2/26/21) - Monkey Knife Fight

Wednesday's slate of games were overall terrible until the last two games of the night. Nuggets-Wizards came down to the final shot, and Pelicans-Bucks was a close game until the final minute. Thursday has a great chance to make up for yesterday with a nine-game slate, and although most of the games are set to […]

Landry Shamet With Strong Showing On Thursday

Brooklyn Nets guard Landry Shamet scored 19 points on 7-for-12 shooting in Thursday's win over the Orlando Magic. He was 5-for-9 from three and also grabbed nine rebounds. It was his best scoring output since a 22-point effort on February 6th, as well as his best rebounding game of the entire season. Shamet has played […]

Kyrie Irving Comes Up Big In Win Over Magic

Despite going 1-for-6 from three, Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving put together a strong showing in Thursday's win over the Orlando Magic. Irving scored 27 points on 11-for-18 shooting and also added nine assists, five rebounds, and two steals. The potential for Kevin Durant to return on Saturday could impact Irving's fantasy outlook, but with […]

Nikola Vucevic With Double-Double In Loss To Nets

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic scored 28 points on 12-for-23 shooting in Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. In addition, he grabbed 12 rebounds and posted two assists while going 3-for-7 from three.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/26/21): NBA DFS Lineups

Take a gander at Friday’s slate. There’s nine contests in total, yet only one that features both teams having an above .500 record. Now, that’s much to do with the parody of the Eastern Conference through the first half of the year, but there’s also six East vs. West showdowns that make for unique matchups. […]

Seth Curry Shoots Well Against Mavericks

Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry scored 15 points on 6-for-9 shooting in Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. In addition, he grabbed three rebounds and dished out two assists. Curry was 3-for-3 from three and also posted three steals and one block. He'll face the Cavaliers on Saturday, who allow opponents to shoot the highest […]

Luka Doncic Scores 19 Points In Loss To Sixers

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic scored a team-high 19 points on 6-for-13 shooting in Thursday's loss to the 76ers. Doncic was 3-for-6 from deep and also added three rebounds, four assists, and three blocks. Overall, it was a solid night, but not up to the standards that Doncic has established for his play, likely leaving […]

De'Aaron Fox Goes For 29 Points On Thursday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox recorded 29 points, four rebounds, 11 assists, and one steal in 39 minutes during Thursday's loss to New York. Fox now has a double-double and at least 20 points in three of the past five games. The guard is averaging 22.5 points per game. Fox has a favorable matchup on […]

Alec Burks Drops Season-High 24 Points Off Bench

New York Knicks guard Alec Burks finished with 24 points, four rebounds, and two assists in 25 minutes off the bench during Thursday's win over the Kings. Burks played his best game of the season as he is only averaging 11 points per game. Overall, his role and consistency are not good enough for him […]

Immanuel Quickley Posts 25 Points Off Bench

New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley posted 25 points, one rebound, three assists, and two steals in 20 minutes off the bench during Thursday's win over the Kings. Quickley filled in well for the absent Elfrid Payton (hamstring). The rookie scored in single-digit points in the past three games before Thursday but he could see […]

DraftKings EuroLeague DFS Lineup Picks for 2/26/21 - Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Round 26 finishes off with the smaller four game slate this week. Yesterday I fell victim to Milan rotations with Kevin Punter being a total dud. Mike James busted too, but he was almost 50% owned. I could have made it through that. So is the way it goes in EuroLeague. We're back like Pau […]

Derrick Rose Starting Against Sacramento

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose will start on Thursday night against Sacramento. With Elfrid Payton (hamstring) officially out against the Kings, the door is open for Rose to get some additional run. The veteran is averaging 10.9 points, 3.9 assists, and a steal throughout his first seven games in New York since being traded […]

Elfrid Payton Out Against Sacramento

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) will not play on Thursday night against Sacramento. The veteran has been dealing with soreness in the area, which will force him to miss his first game of the year. With the 27-year-old out of the mix, Derrick Rose will slide into the starting lineup, which will automatically […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/25/21): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! We greet Friday's Friday with a six-game schedule as we get the weekend started early. Only the New Orleans Pelicans are playing the second half of a back-to-back tonight, and it gives us a lot of fresh legs to play in our DFS lineups. It doesn't necessarily take all of the Pelicans […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/25/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

We have a modest six-game slate, a fairly typical size for a Thursday night. The less-than-ideal aspect of the ledger for DFS purposes is that it tilts more toward non-competitive matchups that could lead to some star players seeing less than a full allotment of minutes. A couple of the best defensive teams in the […]

Bobby Portis Expected To Play Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis (elbow) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He suffered an elbow laceration on Tuesday, but it doesn't sound like something that is going to cost him playing time. He should resume his role as the backup center on Thursday. Surprisingly, Portis has carried decent […]

Maxi Kleber Probable For Thursday

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He has missed each of the last two games due to a left ankle sprain. However, it sounds like Kleber is finally ready to get back on the court. His return to action would mean less playing time […]

Kristaps Porzingis Doubtful Versus Sixers

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (back) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was listed as questionable on Wednesday, but it sounds like the Mavs plan on giving Porzingis more time to rest. Dwight Powell and Willie Cauley-Stein would be asked to play more, assuming Porzingis is out. Neither are […]

Davis Bertans Might Sit Thursday

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (knee) listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He struggled in Wednesday's contest, which could partly be due to the knee soreness. Deni Avdija would benefit the most, assuming Bertans is unable to suit up. Avdija would have decent streaming appeal with extended playing time.

Mike Conley Delivers Productive Line Against Lakers

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley produced an excellent line in a 114-89 win over the Lakers on Wednesday night. Conley poured in 14 points with eight rebounds, eight assists, four triples, and two steals in just 27 minutes. He has yet to play 30 minutes since returning from injury, though Utah doesn't need him to, […]

Rudy Gobert Falls One Rebound Shy Of Double-Double

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert fell just one rebound shy of a double-double in 27 minutes of action on Wednesday. Gobert scored 18 points with nine boards and a block in a 114-89 win over the Lakers. The only thing that's remotely close to limiting the All-Star big man's fantasy value is his own team, […]

Jordan Clarkson Scores 18 Points With Four Threes

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson had another great night from beyond the arc in a 114-89 win over the Lakers. Clarkson drained 4 of 10 three-point attempts, scoring 18 points along with four rebounds, two assists, and no turnovers- the sixth time he's committed zero in a game this year. The 28-year-old has been one […]
