Rui Hachimura Goes Cold From Field Across 39 Minutes

Washington Wizards power forward Rui Hachimura saw a game-high 39 minutes during Wednesday’s loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, but was unable to cash in on his time on the floor, shooting just 2-for-11 overall. Over his last three outings, Hachimura has shot 8-for-29, failing to reach double figures in scoring in any of those games. […]

Jerome Robinson Pours In 19 Points Off Bench In Loss

Washington Wizards shooting guard/small forward Jerome Robinson continued to lead the team’s second unit against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday, dropping 19 points on 5-for-11 shooting. Since entering the bubble, Robinson has been the Wizard who arguably has benefited most from the absence of Bradley Beal and Davis Bertans, staples of the team’s offense at […]

Grayson Allen Drains Career-High Six Threes

Memphis Grizzlies guard Grayson Allen scored 20 points and made a career-high six threes in 27 minutes off the bench on Wednesday. Allen cashed in on spot-up opportunities all night as Memphis got into the painted area and repeatedly dished it out to him. The 24-year-old has averaged 17.3 points and 4.3 made three-pointers per […]

Jonas Valanciunas Notches Third Straight Double-Double

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas notched a double-double for the third straight game on Wednesday against the Utah Jazz. Valanciunas held his own against two-time Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert, scoring 21 points with 14 rebounds and three assists. The former first-round pick wasn't as efficient as he was in the past two […]

Mike Conley Excels Against Former Team

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley recorded 23 points with seven assists, five rebounds, four triples and a steal in a 124-115 win over his former team, the Grizzlies. After a slow start in the bubble, Conley is heating up. The Ohio State product has averaged 23.5 points, 7.5 assists and 3.5 triples per game over […]

Joe Ingles Knocks Down Six Treys Against Grizzlies

Utah Jazz forward Joe Ingles was a marksman on Wednesday, drilling six triples en route to a 25-point performance in a win over the Grizzlies. Ingles scored just 12 points in his previous two games combined, so this game was sorely needed. Though he wasn't scoring much, he has been a sneaky source of assists, […]

Rudy Gobert Posts Second Straight Double-Double

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert double-doubled for the second straight game on Wednesday. Gobert scored 21 points, pulled down 16 boards and added three blocks, two steals and an assist in the victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. Amazingly, the veteran big man has hit on 85 percent of his free-throws after making them at a […]

Thomas Bryant Notches Third Consecutive Double-Double

Washington Wizards center Thomas Bryant continued his masterful development inside the NBA bubble, compiling his third straight double-double during Wednesday’s loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. Bryant battled All-Star Joel Embiid and managed to finish with 19 points, 10 rebounds, and four blocks. Prior to the restart of the NBA season, Bryant attempted more than two […]

Ben Simmons Departs Early With Knee Injury

Philadelphia 76ers point guard/power forward Ben Simmons made it just 23 minutes into Wednesday’s contest against the Washington Wizards before sustaining a knee injury that forced him from the game. While he was seen walking away from the court without crutches, he appeared to be in considerable discomfort near the conclusion of the contest. In […]

Joel Embiid Returns To Double-Double Column In Win

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid compiled 30 points and 11 rebounds during Wednesday’s victory over the Wizards, now having averaged just shy of 33 points per game inside of the bubble. Embiid packed the stat sheet by adding three assists, three steals and two blocks across his 33 minutes, continuing to deliver contributions in ancillary […]

Dwight Howard Questionable On Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was limited to non-contact portions of practice on Tuesday due to soreness in his right knee. The Lakers have already locked up the No. 1 seed, so they can afford to be cautious. JaVale McGee […]

Caris LeVert Should Play Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert (thigh) should be back in the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. The Nets rested LeVert, Joe Harris, and Jarrett Allen on Tuesday because it was the front end of a back-to-back set. It doesn't sound like the Nets are planning to limit LeVert or Harris at […]

Joe Harris Likely Returning Versus Celtics

Brooklyn Nets guard Joe Harris (back) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Harris, Caris Levert (thigh) and Jarrett Allen (rest) all sat out of Tuesday's game to rest since the team has a busy schedule. Harris has been outstanding during the bubble, but that is likely because the team is […]

Jamal Crawford Won't Play Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard Jamal Crawford (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. He suffered the injury during his bubble debut and was only able to play for six minutes of the game. Both Caris Levert and Joe Harris are expected to be back after resting during their last contest. It […]

Glenn Robinson III Missing Third Straight Game

Philadelphia 76ers forward Glenn Robinson III (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. It will be his third straight game on the sidelines. It's unclear if he'll suit up at all during the bubble. Robinson isn't much of a factor in the rotation anyway. James Ennis and Alec Burks will […]

Marco Belinelli Available Versus Nuggets

San Antonio Spurs guard Marco Belinelli (ankle) is available or Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He has been banged up with an ankle issue, but appears good enough to play here. He should get a handful of minutes, but likely won't do enough to warrant ownership in DFS contests. Lonnie Walker IV and Keldon […]

Jamal Murray Ruled Out Versus Spurs

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He'll join Gary Harris (hip) and Will Barton (knee) on the sideline for this one. Monte Morris will get another start, while Michael Porter Jr. looks to build off his solid performance from last game. Both players […]

Brandon Clarke Will Start On Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke will jump into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) suffered a knee injury and is done for the rest of the season. That means, Clarke's value should skyrocket with significant playing time. Kyle Anderson and Gorgui Dieng should benefit as well, but […]

Michael Carter-Williams Ruled Out Wednesday

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He was listed as doubtful after an MRI revealed a tendon strain. There is a good chance that he is sidelined longer than one game. That means, both Markelle Fultz and D.J. Augustin should benefit until Carter-Williams is […]

Lou Williams Returns To Action With 7-6-6 Line

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams made his NBA Bubble debut on Tuesday, finishing a 117-115 loss to the Suns with seven points, six assists, and six rebounds. He was clearly rusty, shooting blanks from downtown with two attempts and committing three turnovers in 21 minutes. It looks like Sweet Lou will need a bit […]

Paul George Has Tough Shooting Night Against Phoenix

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Paul George had very little success from the field in Tuesday's clash with the Phoenix Suns, missing six of his seven attempts from downtown and finishing 6-for-17 overall from the floor. However, he still managed to exceed his scoring average with 23 points thanks to a perfect 10-for-10 record at the […]

Kawhi Leonard Notches 27 Points Tuesday Night

Los Angeles Clippers small forward Kawhi Leonard led the team with 27 points in Tuesday's 117-115 loss to the Suns, shooting 10-for-21 from the field and 2-for-4 from outside. He also had seven rebounds with three assists and one steal. Kawhi has had some shooting struggles in Orlando but he's starting to find his rhythm […]

Cameron Payne Keeps Up Good Form

Phoenix Suns point guard Cameron Payne posted a team-high plus-14 rating and contributed 12 points off the bench in Tuesday's 117-115 win over the Clippers, adding three assists, three rebounds, and one steal. He shot 5-for-9 from the floor and 2-for-3 from three-point range. Payne, who was picked up for the Bubble games, is averaging […]

Deandre Ayton Gets Going Again With Good Showing

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton had a good game on Tuesday against the Clippers, picking up 19 points, seven rebounds, and four assists. He shot 9-for-18 from the field and even nailed one attempt from downtown. Ayton had mostly spent the previous game against Dallas in foul trouble and thus managed just seven points and […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (8/5/20): NBA DFS Lineups

Tuesday's slate could have been a huge disappointment or massive success as the top seeded Milwaukee Bucks fell to the Brooklyn Nets. The Bucks were 19.0-point favorites, but head coach Mike Budenholzer limited his starters between 15-20 minutes and removed Brook Lopez (rest) from the lineup entirely right before tip-off. Sometimes basketball can be completely […]

Devin Booker Posts Another 30-Point Performance

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker recorded his second consecutive 30-point game on Tuesday, finishing a 117-115 win over the Clippers with 35 points on 13-for-25 shooting. He shot 6-for-9 from deep and capped things off with the game-winner while adding eight assists and four rebounds. The Suns have now won all three games in Orlando, […]

Robert Covington Disappoints In Good Matchup

Houston Rockets forward Robert Covington came into Tuesday's contest in fine form but was disappointing for daily players that thrust him into their lineups. Against a bottom-five defense, Covington had a chance to extend his hot start in the bubble. Instead, he posted six points, eight rebounds, and shot 2-for-11 on the night. All his […]
