Victor Oladipo, P.J. Tucker Making Progress

Houston Rockets guard Victor Oladipo (foot) and forward P.J. Tucker (quad) both practiced in some capacity on Friday. Tucker was able to practice with the team while Oladipo did individual work on the side, so it sounds like the former is a bit closer to returning to game action. The Rockets had two home games […]

Devonte' Graham Listed As Questionable Saturday

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham (knee) is questionable to play Saturday against the Golden State Warriors. Graham left last Saturday's game with the knee injury, but had games postponed so did not actually miss any playing time. However, Graham is in danger of missing this Saturday and would likely cede more minutes to starters Terry […]

Gordon Hayward Listed As Probable For Saturday's Game

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (back) is probable for Saturday's game against the Warriors. Hayward has only missed one game, as the Hornets have yet to play this week because of health and safety protocols. It would be wise for fantasy managers to be on the lookout for any updates during the team's shootaround, as […]

Draymond Green Expected To Play Friday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (ankle) is expected to play Friday against the Orlando Magic. Green was dealing with a sore right ankle and head coach Steve Kerr expects him to play on Friday, but will likely come down to a game-time decision after testing his ankle early. If Green is unable to go, […]

Jaylen Brown Will Play Friday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (knee) will be available for Friday's rematch with the Hawks. Brown continues to deal with tendinitis in his right knee- and while general manager Danny Ainge recently said it was concerning, Boston has yet to reduce his workload or minutes. Brown shot just 30 percent from the field in Wednesday's […]

Steven Adams Doubtful For Friday

New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He tweaked his ankle on Wednesday and was only able to play for 10 minutes because of it. Willy Hernangomez stepped up and delivered 11 points with 17 rebounds in the absence of Adams. He'll have great […]

Will Barton Could Return Versus Cavs

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (personal) is currently listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has missed each of the last three games due to personal reasons, but it sounds like there's a good chance that he returns here. Facundo Campazzo, R.J. Hampton and Monte Morris would all see their roles […]

Jaylen Brown Questionable For Friday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He tweaked his knee during Wednesday's game, but the team is likely going to wait and see how he feels pregame. Grant Williams could be asked to move into the starting five, but the team will likely use […]

Draymond Green In Danger Of Sitting Out Friday

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (ankle) remains questionable for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. He was a late scratch on Wednesday due to a minor ankle issue. The Warriors always seem to be cautious with Green, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him sit out here. Mychal Mulder, Eric Paschall, and Kent […]

Anthony Davis Out At Least One Month

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (calf) is going to be sidelined for the foreseeable future. It appears Davis is going to be out for at least the next four weeks, according to head coach Frank Vogel. The organization wants Davis to fully recover before the playoffs. This is obviously a big blow to fantasy […]

Desmond Bane Removed From Injury Report

Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (personal) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He has missed each of the last four games due to a personal issue, but was playing well before that. Dillon Brooks (thigh) and De'Anthony Melton (shoulder) are banged up, which means more minutes […]

DeMarcus Cousins Gets Guaranteed Contract

Houston Rockets center DeMarcus Cousins has quickly proven that he can still play at an elite level. He has shown enough that the Rockets have guaranteed his $2.3 million contract for the rest of the season. His fantasy value has been up and down due to the fact he battles with Christian Wood (ankle) for […]

Kyle Lowry Upgraded To Questionable For Friday

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (thumb) has been upgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is quite surprising considering head coach Nick Nurse previously ruled out Lowry for this game. It sounds like there's a chance he suits up, but the Raptors should be able to easily win without Lowry. Fred […]

Nemanja Bjelica Records First Steals Of Season

Sacramento Kings forward Nemanja Bjelica entered Thursday as the NBA player who had played the most minutes in the 2020-21 season without recording a steal. That changed against the Miami Heat, as Bjelica same away with a pair of them. But the highlight of his night has to be the team-high 25 points he scored, […]

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro scored 27 points on 12-for-17 shooting in Thursday's win over the Sacramento Kings.

Bam Adebayo With Triple-Double Against Kings

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo scored 16 points on 6-for-12 shooting in Thursday's win over the Sacramento Kings.

This was just the third time all season that Adebayo posted […]

DraftKings EuroLeague DFS Lineup Picks for 2/19/21 - Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Round 25 finishes off with four more games. We saw Shane Larkin and Alexey Shved put up big numbers, but it was Youssoupha Fall that broke the slate as a value pick. I ended up with a Baskonia stack and still didn't land on Fall. So it goes. Minimum cash still gets me the buy-in […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for Friday (2/19/21) - Monkey Knife Fight

It's been a great few days of basketball and Friday starts off the weekend with a nine game slate. The Bucks and Thunder have the highest point total heading into today, and with Milwaukee playing terribly lately, the return of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander could not have come at a better time. Giannis Antetokounmpo and company are […]

LeBron James Reaches 35,000 Career Points Thursday Night

He added five rebounds, one assist, and one steal to his line. Harris has found it difficult to make noise since the Nets formed its Big Three, […]

James Harden Has Double-Double In Win Over Lakers

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden had a very efficient outing in Thursday's marquee matchup against the Lakers, notching a 23-point, 11-assist double-double while shooting 7-for-15 from the field and 6-for-7 at the line with only one turnover in 38 minutes.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Flirts With Triple-Double In Loss

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 23 points with 12 rebounds, eight assists, and two steals in Thursday's loss to the Raptors. Antetokounmpo had a good game, though it seemed a bit empty compared to his last few efforts, which saw him compile strong numbers in the point, rebound, and assist categories while also registering […]

Pascal Siakam Drops 27 Points With Full Line

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam bounced back after a couple of rough shooting performances in his last two games. Siakam dropped 27 points on 9 of 18 shooting from the field, adding six rebounds, five assists, two triples, two blocks, and a steal in a 110-96 win over the Bucks. The 26-year-old got off to […]

Norman Powell Matches Season-High In Points With 29

Toronto Raptors guard Norman Powell was on fire in Thursday night's win over the Bucks. Powell scored 29 points, matching his season-high, along with four rebounds, four triples, three assists, and two steals in 31 minutes. The 27-year-old stepped up with Kyle Lowry (thumb) out of the lineup, scoring 17 of his 29 in the […]

Taurean Prince To Miss Another Game On Friday Night

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Taurean Prince (ankle) won't play on Friday night against the Nuggets. This will mark the veteran's second-straight absence as he continues to deal with left ankle soreness. In his stead, Jarrett Allen and Cedi Osman should continue to see a hefty increase in fantasy value, so managers in all formats will want […]

James Wiseman Remains Out On Friday Evening

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (wrist) will be out again on Friday against Orlando. The rookie continues to deal with residual pain associated with his sprained wrist, which is unwelcome news as the team will also be without Kevon Looney (ankle) and possibly Draymond Green (ankle). If Green plays, he will likely slide in […]
