FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (8/12/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

The NBA regular season is nearing its apex later in the calendar than ever before in 2020. So with that in mind, it’s not surprising to see things completely falling off the rails from a DFS perspective in a unique manner.  Wrapping up the regular season during a traditional year usually involves swaths of up-and-coming […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (8/12/20): NBA DFS Lineups

With Damian Lillard making history, the Portland Trail Blazers squeaking out a last-minute victory to jump the 8-seed, and the San Antonio Spurs narrowly keeping their playoff hopes alive, it will be hard to top Tuesday's slate. Especially difficult as we only have four games slated for Wednesday. Well you know what they say, quality […]

Ben McLemore Nails Four Triples In Loss

Houston Rockets guard Ben McLemore wasn't particularly efficient on Tuesday but managed to score 16 points with four treys in 27 minutes. McLemore has chucked up an amazing 36 three-point attempts in his last three contests combined and plays in an offense that welcomes shots beyond the arc with open arms. Fortunately, he has also […]

Russell Westbrook Returns With 20 Points

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook (quad) returned to the lineup on Tuesday and scored 20 points with six assists, five rebounds, two triples and a steal in a losing effort. Westbrook shot well, but he was a little off at times, turning the ball over a game-high seven times. Westbrook's do-it-all ability makes him a […]

Jakob Poeltl Records Second Double-Double In Three Games

San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl posted his second double-double in three games in Monday's victory over the Houston Rockets. Poeltl scored 14 points and pulled down 12 rebounds along with one assist, one steal and one block in 28 minutes. The 24-year-old took advantage of Houston's small-ball lineup down low in the post and […]

DeMar DeRozan Scores Efficient 23 Points

San Antonio Spurs guard DeMar DeRozan scored 23 points on 69.2 percent shooting from the field, adding six rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block in 28 minutes. The 31-year-old is doing his best to keep San Antonio's playoff hopes alive, as they've now won three in a row and are just 1.5 games […]

Keldon Johnson Has Best Game Of Career

San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson posted career-highs in points, 24, and rebounds, 11, along with three triples en route to his first career double-double. Johnson broke out earlier in August for 35 points in two games and is getting much more playing time in the bubble. The 20-year-old offers good three-point shooting, rebounding and […]

Seth Curry Listed As Out For Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Seth Curry (leg) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He was probable on the injury report, but it sounds like the team plans to hold him out of the second game of the back-to-back set. J.J. Barea, Trey Burke, and Delon Wright should see more minutes […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Listed As Questionable

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (mouth) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. The team gave him the night off on Monday, so you'd think he'd return here. However, the Bucks are resting most of their starters, so Antetokounmpo might join them. George Hill, Pat Connaughton and Sterling Brown are going […]

Eric Bledsoe, Donte DiVincenzo Sidelined Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks guards Eric Bledsoe (knee) and Donte Divincenzo (elbow) have been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. The Bucks are sitting out most of their starters here in a meaningless game. The team doesn't want to risk any injuries, so the backups will see plenty of minutes here. Pat Connaughton, Sterling […]

Wesley Matthews Sitting Out Versus Washington

Milwaukee Bucks guard Wesley Matthews (groin) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. The Bucks are sitting most of their starters out of this game. Pat Connaughton and Sterling Brown are expected to be very busy without the main starters taking the court. Both players could be intriguing DFS options for […]

Daniel Theis Will Play Tuesday

Boston Celtics center Daniel Theis (foot) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Head coach Brad Stevens said his main rotation players will take the floor, but didn't say how much they'd play. Theis could be somewhat limited here since he is coming off an injury. He'll be a risky DFS option […]

Tobias Harris Out On Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He'll join Joel Embiid (ankle), Josh Richardson (rest), and Al Horford (knee) on the sideline for this one. Furkan Korkmaz, Glenn Robinson III and Matisse Thybulle will see plenty of minutes and increased usage in this one. Thybulle […]

Al Horford Not Playing Versus Suns

Philadelphia 76ers forward Al Horford (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Mike Scott will slide into the starting five with most of the Sixers starters sidelined. Alec Burks could see his usage increase as well. He could be a low-cost DFS option for Tuesday's slate. Scott won't be a […]

James Harden Resting Versus Spurs

Houston Rockets guard James Harden (rest) will not suit up for Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so the Rockets will give Harden the day off. He's averaging roughly 36 minutes per game during the bubble, so this makes sense. Russell Westbrook (quad) is expected to […]

Caris LeVert, Joe Harris Out On Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets guards Caris Levert (thigh) and Joe Harris (groin) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. It's not the front end of a back-to-back, but the Nets are still resting most of their starters. Tyler Johnson, Chris Chiozza and Timothe Luwawu will all see extended run on Tuesday. It's tough […]

Jarrett Allen Not Playing Versus Magic

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He is dealing with a left ankle sprain, so the team will give him another day off to rest. Rodions Kurucs and Donta Hall will be asked to step up in the absence of Allen on Tuesday. Neither […]

Derrick White Questionable Versus Rockets

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. He is dealing with a bruised left knee, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Spurs take the cautious approach here. DeMar DeRozan and Dejounte Murray will see their usage increase without White on the court. […]

Evan Fournier, Terrence Ross Out Tuesday

Orlando Magic guards Evan Fournier (illness) and Terrence Ross (quarantine) have been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The Magic are going to be shorthanded without Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Michael Carter-Williams (foot) as well. Markelle Fultz and Nikola Vucevic should be very busy here. Gary Clark is in line for another […]

Aaron Gordon Won't Play on Tuesday

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. It's unclear when Gordon is going to return as he continues to battle a left hamstring issue. Gary Clark is in line for another start and could be a punt play in DFS contests after his performance on […]

Michael Carter-Williams Remains Sidelined

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. This marks the fourth game in a row that Carter-Williams has missed with a foot issue. At this point, fantasy owners can consider him questionable for Thursday. Markelle Fultz will continue to see a boost in playing time […]

Kyle Kuzma Caps Off Good Performance With Game-Winner

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma played a key role in Monday's win over Denver, scoring 25 points on 11-for-16 shooting and nailing a game-winning trey for a 124-121 win. He had three triples in total, adding six rebounds, three assists, and two steals. Kuzma now has two 20-point efforts in his last three games, […]

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (8/11/20): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

Monday didn't go so great for us here at RotoBaller when it comes to the WNBA. We invested too heavily in the Atlanta Dream, who got blown out by Connecticut after star rookie Chennedy Carter went down with an ankle injury. Speaking of which, THERE ARE TOO MANY ANKLES INJURIES IN THE WNBA THIS YEAR. […]
