WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (8/7/20): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

So, about that Chennedy Carter game on Thursday. I avoided playing any Dream players in DFS because of the matchup with Seattle, which gave me a ton of pause, especially for Carter, who was being guarded by Jordin Canada. Didn't matter. Carter's now the youngest player in league history with a 30-point game. In this […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Listed As Questionable For Saturday

Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (hip) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He is currently dealing with a left hip strain, but there isn't much more information out right now. Finney-Smith has been playing heavy minutes during the bubble, so his absence leaves a fairly significant void in the rotation. […]

Seth Curry Upgraded To Questionable For Saturday

Dallas Mavericks guard Seth Curry (leg) has been upgraded to questionable for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This is great news as it sounds like Curry is making progress and getting closer to a return. Delon Wright and Trey Burke have seen increased roles with Curry sidelined. However, neither of them have been able […]

Glenn Robinson III Won't Suit Up Friday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Glenn Robinson III (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. He was able to get through practice on Thursday, so the team is hopeful that he can make his bubble debut soon. There should be some playing time available while Ben Simmons (knee) is sidelined. Until then, […]

Mike Scott Available Against Magic

Philadelphia 76ers forward Mike Scott (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. The team will be without Ben Simmons (knee) for the foreseeable future, which means someone is going to need to step up. Al Horford figures to gain the most fantasy value and playing time from the loss of Simmons. He […]

Steven Adams Listed As Questionable Versus Grizzlies

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (leg) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He suffered a left lower leg contusion during Wednesday's game. The team might decide to take the cautious approach and have Adams sit out here. Nerlens Noel would be asked to step up and start if Adams […]

Zion Williamson Resting On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Pelicans will take the cautious approach and rest Williamson. He played 22 minutes on Thursday, but the team continues to be careful with their prized rookie. Derrick […]

Joe Harris Could Miss Friday's Contest

Brooklyn Nets guard Joe Harris (groin) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He is dealing with a left groin contusion after battling a hamstring injury earlier this week. The team may decide to rest Harris and let him heal up for next game. Caris Levert, Timothe Luwawu and Garrett Temple […]

Jamal Crawford Will Miss A Few Games

Brooklyn Nets guard Jamal Crawford (hamstring) is going to be sidelined for a few games, according to head coach Jacque Vaughn. He looked solid during his bubble debut, but sadly it was short lived because of a hamstring strain. It's unclear if Crawford's injury will heal in time for him to help the team on […]

Jarrett Allen Remains Questionable For Friday

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He suffered a left ankle sprain during Wednesday's contest. The team is unsure if this will force him to the sideline, but hopefully it's only a one game absence at maximum. Rodions Kurucs would likely be asked to […]

Kent Bazemore Might Sit Out Friday

Sacramento Kings guard Kent Bazemore (calf) is currently listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Bazemore has been dealing with left calf soreness, so the team might limit him here. He has been decent during the bubble, averaging 10.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.0 steals. Buddy Hield should gain the […]

Richaun Holmes Could Sit Out Against Nets

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (hip) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He has been underwhelming during the bubble, but maybe the 10-day quarantine through off his conditioning. Alex Len and Harry Giles would be asked to split up a majority of the minutes at center if Holmes is unable […]

Goran Dragic Questionable For Saturday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He's in jeopardy of missing his second straight game, but we'll have to wait and see how his injury progresses. Jimmy Butler (foot) has been ruled out, which would normally mean Dragic stands to gain value. However, Kendrick […]

Jimmy Butler Will Miss Third Straight Game

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) will sit out his third game in a row on Saturday versus the Phoenix Suns. He is dealing with right foot soreness, but it's unclear how significant the injury is at the moment. The Heat might have Butler sit out a few games as a precaution. Goran Dragic (ankle) […]

Aaron Gordon Not Playing Against 76ers

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was listed as doubtful heading into this game, but the team mentioned he won't be re-evaluated for a few days. Wesley Iwundu and Gary Clark should both see extended playing time. Terrence Ross is the biggest winner […]

Michael Carter-Williams Not Playing Friday

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was listed as questionable, but the team decided to have him sit out at least one more game here. The Magic are fairly shorthanded, so it'll be interesting to see what they do with their rotations. Terrence […]

Mike Conley Not Suiting Up Versus Spurs

Utah Jazz point guard Mike Conley (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The team is already without Rudy Gobert (rest) and Donovan Mitchell (leg), so they figured they'd let Conley rest as well. Jordan Clarkson should move into the starting five and be a useful DFS option. Emmanuel […]

Donovan Mitchell Won't Play Friday

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (leg) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He is dealing with a peroneal strain in his left leg, so the team will give him the day off to rest. It's unclear whether it's a day-to-day issue, but the team is hopeful he'll be back […]

Rudy Gobert Resting On Friday

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The team figured they'd give Gobert the day off with Mike Conley (knee) and Donovan Mitchell (leg) out as well. Tony Bradley is expected to draw the start with Ed Davis likely backing him up. Bradley is […]

Joe Ingles Available On Friday

Utah Jazz forward Joe Ingles (foot) is available for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He is dealing with some right foot soreness, but is able to play through the issue. The Jazz will be without Mike Conley (knee), Donovan Mitchell (leg) and Rudy Gobert (rest) in this one. It's unclear if the team […]

Royce O'Neale Sitting Out Friday

Utah Jazz forward Royce O'Neale (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The Jazz have Rudy Gobert (rest), Mike Conley (knee), and Donovan Mitchell (leg) sitting out for this one as well. This seems like a punt game, so that the Jazz players can get back to full health. […]

Harrison Barnes Picks Up 22 Points On Thursday

Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes finally found his flow in Orlando, scoring 22 points in Thursday's win over New Orleans. He had been very quiet in the first three bubble games, scoring only 28 total points. Barnes shot 9-for-18 from the floor against the Pels with a 2-for-4 record from deep. He also had six […]

Lonzo Ball Hands Out 11 Dimes

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Lonzo Ball delivered a game-high 11 assists in Thursday's 140-125 loss to Sacramento. Unfortunately, he couldn't quite make it into the double-double column, shooting 4-for-7 from the floor to finish with nine points. Ball also collected one steal and one block on the defensive end. This was by far the […]

Brandon Ingram Scores 24 Points Against Kings

New Orleans Pelicans small forward Brandon Ingram sank three treys and shot 8-for-14 overall from the field and Thursday's high-scoring game against the Kings. He also had three rebounds, three assists, and one steal. Ingram has now put together two 24-point performances on the bounce and the Pels are heading towards another high-scoring game on […]

Zion Williamson Scores 24 Points In 22 Minutes

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson played only 22 minutes in Thursday's loss to Sacramento, but he still managed to produce a good scoring display with 24 points. He missed only two of his 12 attempts from the floor and shot 4-for-7 at the line. Zion managed to make all of his first eight attempts […]

De'Aaron Fox Drops 30-Point Double-Double

He shot 12-for-21 from the field and added three rebounds, three steals, and one block to his line. Fox continued his good scoring run in Orlando, as he's now averaged […]
