Denver Nuggets shooting guard/small forward Will Barton scored 13 points while adding four rebounds and two assists in 34 minutes of action in the nine-point win over the Timberwolves on Friday.

Jamal Murray Scores 28 Points With Full Line

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray recorded 28 points with a bunch of extras to help secure his club's win over the reeling Timberwolves on Friday. Murray connected on 9-for-19 shooting from the floor and made all seven of his attempts at the line while adding six rebounds, five assists, and three steals in 36 minutes […]

Jeff Teague Returns To The Bench Versus Nuggets

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague moved back to his reserve role on Friday and still managed to provide some decent numbers in the 109-100 loss at the hands of the Nuggets. Teague scored 13 points with two rebounds, two assists while chipping a steal and a block with two makes from three in 27 […]

Gorgui Dieng Plays Well Again On Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward/center Gorgui Dieng provided another fantasy-worthy line on Friday when he once again started at center for his club. Dieng scored a season-high 18 points on 6-for-11 shooting and added four makes from three with six rebounds and a block across 24 minutes of action. With Karl-Anthony Town (knee) not practicing and […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/21/19): NBA DFS Lineups

We need to play the most productive players tonight and since some of these games are lined up to be very high scoring, do […]

T.J. McConnell Provides Bench Production For Indiana

Indiana Pacers point guard T.J. McConnell had one of his best fantasy performances of the season on Friday night against the Sacramento Kings. McConnell wasn't even the best T.J. on his team but still helped Indiana to their fifth straight win. He had 15 points, eight assists, three rebounds and one steal off the bench. […]

T.J. Warren Scores Game-High 23 Points

Indiana Pacers small forward T.J. Warren led his team to a 119-105 win over the Sacramento Kings on Friday night. Warren had a game-high 23 points and also chipped in four rebounds, one assist and one block. He also made three of his four three-point attempts. Warren has eclipsed the 20-point barrier in seven of […]

Domantas Sabonis' Double-Double Streak Ends at 13 Games

Indiana Pacers power forward Domantas Sabonis saw his double-double streak come to an end on Friday night against the Sacramento Kings. Although the streak is over, Sabonis still had a useful night for fantasy purposes. He had 15 points, nine rebounds, six assists and two blocks while shooting 6-for-13 from the field. Sabonis has been […]

Buddy Hield Held To Seven Points

For the first time since October and just the third time this season, Buddy Hield was held below 10 points. On Friday night, the Sacramento Kings shooting guard went 3-for-15 from the field and made one of his nine three-point attempts. He managed to somewhat salvage his fantasy night with eight rebounds and six assists, […]

Richaun Holmes Has Team-High 20 Points And Nine Rebounds

Sacramento Kings power forward Richaun Holmes was a bright spot for his team on Friday night. In the 119-105 loss to the Indiana Pacers, Holmes had 20 points, nine rebounds and one block in 24 minutes of playing time. He hit nine of his 10 shots for a season-high field-goal percentage of 90%. Holmes hasn't […]

Fred Vanvleet is Questionable Against Wizards

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. This sounds like an upgrade after Vanvleet has missed the last five games with a knee injury. Norman Powell has stepped up in Vanvleet's absence. Fantasy owners should check back before tip-off for more information on Vanvleet.

Justise Winslow is Ruled Out for Friday

Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. He was ruled out a full day in advance, so that's not a good sign. Goran Dragic, Tyler Herro, Kendrick Nunn, and Duncan Robinson will fill the void without Winslow available. Nunn and Herro have the most […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic is Questionable Against Pacers

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He's been dealing with a bunch of injuries lately, so the Kings might be cautious and rest Bogdanovic here. Trevor Ariza and Cory Joseph would play more if Bogdanovic sits out. However, neither player is much of a […]

Eric Paschall is Probable for Friday

Golden State Warriors forward Eric Paschall (hip) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He saw only 18 minutes last game, but he should see at least 20 minutes or more once he's back to full speed. Paschall is worth owning in most standard leagues at the moment.

Christian Wood Will Miss One Week

Detroit Pistons forward Christian Wood (knee) is going to be sidelined at least one week. An MRI revealed a bone bruise in his left knee and he'll be re-evaluated in one week. Blake Griffin (knee) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game. Markieff Morris could be looking at heavy minutes with both of them sidelined. […]

Frank Ntilikina is Fine for Friday

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina (illness) will be available for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Ntilikina missed Wednesday's practice, but was able to suit up for a full practice on Thursday. He hasn't done much since Mike Miller took over as the head coach. Elfrid Payton is the guard to be owned in […]

Kyle Kuzma May Return on Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) might be able to return to the court for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets, according to head coach Frank Vogel. He's been increasing his activity and is hopeful to get into a full practice on Saturday. Kuzma hasn't been a great fantasy option this season. It's tough […]

Marcus Smart Doesn't Have A Timetable

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (eye) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Head coach Brad Stevens said the medical staff said that Smart's eye infection is one of the worst they've seen. It doesn't sound like Smart is going to be on the court anytime soon. There's a good chance […]

Gordon Hayward is Ruled Out for Friday

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This marks the second game in a row that Hayward has missed due to a left foot issue. The MRI revealed no structural damage, so it's unclear how long Hayward is going to be sidelined. Semi Ojeleye should […]

Devin Booker Doesn't Participate in Shootaround

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (forearm) was unable to participate in shootaround on Friday. He's currently listed as questionable, but the fact Booker was unable to get in work on Friday doesn't look good. Mikal Bridges and Kelly Oubre Jr. are looking like reliable fantasy options with Booker, Deandre Ayton (ankle), and Cameron Johnson (hip) […]

Cameron Johnson Might Play on Friday

Phoenix Suns forward Cameron Johnson (hip) is listed as a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He missed Tuesday's game after experiencing some left hip soreness. The Suns will likely wait and see how he feels during warmups before making a final decision. Mikal Bridges would be an interesting streaming option […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Gets in Work at Shootaround

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) was able to get in some work during Friday's shootaround. He'll likely be a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. It's a back-to-back set, so there's a chance that Towns sits this one out. Gorgui Dieng would draw the start at center, while Jordan Bell and […]

Malik Monk is Not on Injury Report for Saturday

Charlotte Hornets guard Malik Monk (hip) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. He suffered a hip contusion on Wednesday and didn't return to that contest. It appears he'll be fine for Saturday's game which means Dwayne Bacon could be pushed out of the rotation. Monk has […]

Russell Westbrook Explodes For Season-High 40 Points

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook led his team to a 122-117 win over the Los Angeles Clippers with 40 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, two triples, and a steal. The Clippers had no answer for Westbrook's aggressive drives to the rim, except to foul him, which resulted in a season-high 12 of 13 makes from […]

James Harden Scores Efficient 28 Points In Win Over Clippers

Houston Rockets guard James Harden scored 28 points with 10 assists, one rebound, five triples, a block, and two steals in a 122-117 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. Harden took a backseat to Russell Westbrook's 40 points, but last year's MVP shot an efficient 50 percent from the field and 45.5 percent from deep […]

P.J. Tucker Records Double-Double Against Clippers

Houston Rockets forward P.J. Tucker posted 10 points, 12 rebounds, one assist, one triple, two blocks and a steal in a 122-117 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. Tucker has pulled down at least 11 boards in back-to-back contests and has averaged 10.1 rebounds per game in December after averaging around six rebounds a game […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/20/19): NBA DFS Lineups

With a 10-game slate, it's easy to get carried away focusing on the same names. It's hard to throw around risk when you know there is a safe, low-priced player out there ready to make and break every lineup. With that, expect lower-priced players with either minimized risk or maximized upside. In this article, I […]

Paul George Stuffs The Stat Sheet Against Rockets

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George tallied 34 points, nine rebounds, six triples, three assists, two blocks, and two steals in a 122-117 loss to the Houston Rockets. George got off to a bit of a slow start, by his standards, after returning from injury in November. Here's what the red-hot George has averaged in […]

Kawhi Leonard Scores 25 Points In Losing Effort

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard scored 25 points with nine rebounds, four assists, two triples, and a steal in a 122-117 loss to the Houston Rockets. It wasn't his sharpest performance, considering only eight of his 25 points came in the second half, plus he committed five turnovers. It's a testament to how talented […]
