Russell Westbrook Claims 2nd Place On Triple-Double List

Houston Rockets point guard Russell Westbrook is off to a lightning fast start with his new franchise, having reeled off his second straight triple-double to open the season during Saturday’s win over the New Orleans Pelicans. His 28-point, 13-assist, 10-rebound showing gave him 139 career triple-doubles, passing Magic Johnson for second most in league history. […]

Brandon Ingram Grabs Career-High 15 Rebounds During Loss

New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard/small forward Brandon Ingram had a tremendous performance during Saturday’s loss to the Houston Rockets, delivering 35 points and 15 rebounds in his 39 minutes of action. Ingram was efficient, shooting 14-for-22 from the floor overall, including 4-for-7 from three-point range. The 15 rebounds that he accrued set a new career […]

First Data 500 DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy NASCAR Lineup Picks

It's time for one last "ITS HOT DOG SZN" scream as NASCAR heads to Martinsville Speedway (aka The Paper Clip...aka The Clip...aka Wild Boy Hot Dog Paper Clip City) for the last time this season. I don't know if anyone out there is more excited for this race than me this weekend, based on the […]

First Data 500: DFS NASCAR Lineup Sleepers And Drivers To Avoid

The NASCAR playoffs are rolling strong as we head into the Round of 8. Last week in Kansas, there were plenty of things that didn't go as planned, but it ended up making an exciting race for the fans in overtime. Denny Hamlin pulled off his 5th victory of the season, and put up the […]

NFL DFS Prop Picks for 10/27/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

When playing props, the most fun tends to come with taking the overs and cheering on production. It can sometimes feel like you’re a killjoy if you’re on the other side, always hoping for a player’s production to be kept under wraps. However, as we approach the midpoint of the season, some teams have just […]

De'Aaron Fox Cleared To Suit Up Saturday

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox had his status for Saturday’s contest against the Utah Jazz up in the air for much of the day, but the team determined him and his sore left hip good to go shortly prior to tip-off. Cory Joseph was expected to start should Fox have been sidelined, but it […]

Derrick Jones Jr. Unlikely To Play Sunday

Miami Heat small/power forward Derrick Jones Jr. departed Saturday’s contest against the Milwaukee Bucks early due to a left groin strain. The severity of the injury has put his status for Sunday against the Minnesota Timberwolves in doubt. Jones was instant offense off the bench for Miami on Saturday, compiling 14 points on 5-for-6 shooting […]

Alec Burks Picks Up Questionable Tag For Sunday

Golden State Warriors shooting guard/small forward Alec Burks is questionable to make his season debut during Sunday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a sprained right ankle. Without Burks in the rotation, head coach Steve Kerr deployed both Jacob Evans and Jordan Poole for more than 20 minutes in Thursday’s season opener. Burks […]

Harry Giles To Be Sidelined Saturday

The Sacramento Kings will be without power forward/center Harry Giles for Saturday’s contest against the Utah Jazz due to a sore left knee. It appeared unlikely that Giles would be able to make his season debut Saturday after limited practice participation, and with Marvin Bagley also out, the team will continue to remain thin in […]

Lars Eller Helps Spark Comeback Win for Capitals

Washington Capitals forward Lars Eller scored a goal and an assist late in Friday's comeback win against the Canucks. Eller pitched in an assist on Evgeny Kuznetsov's goal, then converted a short-handed opportunity to start the third period, getting the ball rolling on erasing Vancouver's four-goal lead. Less than 10 minutes later, the Capitals fully […]

Kevon Looney Slated To Miss Duo Of Contests

Golden State Warriors power forward/center Kevon Looney appeared on line to participate in Sunday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but a “neuropathic condition” with his right hamstring will keep him on the shelf for at least the next two contests. The news is certainly not promising for Looney’s long-term prognosis, which when combined with […]

Two Helpers From Jack Eichel Lifts Sabres Over Red Wings

Buffalo Sabres forward Jack Eichel registered two assists in Buffalo's 2-0 victory over Detroit on Friday. It was Eichel's fifth multi-assist game of the young season, giving him six points in his last three games. In a bit of a scoring oddity, Eichel has not had a game yet where he has only picked up […]

Goal Drought Continues for Andreas Athanasiou

Detroit Red Wings forward Andreas Athanasiou failed to score a goal on three shots against Buffalo, stretching his goalless start to the season one game further. After scoring 30 goals last year, breaking the 20 goal threshold for the first time in his career, Athanasiou has gone ice cold to start the season. Athanasiou has […]

Jeremy Lamb To Miss Saturday’s Game

Indiana Pacers shooting guard/small forward Jeremy Lamb has been ruled out for Saturday’s contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to a hip pointer. The team will instead tab Edmond Sumner for the starting five, further opening offensive opportunities for the remaining traditional starters. Lamb recorded 10 points on 4-for-11 in the team’s season opener Wednesday […]

Dwight Powell Listed as Out for Sunday

Dallas Mavericks center Dwight Powell (hamstring) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He's been sidelined since early October due to a hamstring strain. It sounds like he's been progressing well, but the team is just going to play it safe right now. Maximilian Kleber and Dorian Finney-Smith will fill […]

Rajon Rondo Might Not Play Against Hornets

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Rondo continues to deal with calf soreness, but we'll see how he's feeling before game time on Sunday. Avery Bradley and Alex Caruso will be asked to play more, assuming Rondo sits out.

Reggie Jackson is Ruled Out for Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He's suffered back injuries during both of the first two games of the season. Tim Frazier will jump into the starting five because head coach Dwane Casey likes Derrick Rose coming off the bench. Rose will be the […]

What Do You Do With Melvin Gordon?

Two things have made Melvin Gordon such a treasured fantasy asset in his career: reliability and workload. Back in the days when fantasy football players were spending assets on guys like Arian Foster and Eddie Lacy, it was more important that the player you had drafted was staying on the field consistently. The 2015-2017 version […]

Joel Embiid Won't Play Against Pistons

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He's dealing with a right ankle sprain and the team isn't going to push him too hard. The Sixers play the Hawks on Monday, so consider Embiid questionable for that one. Kyle O'Quinn should jump into the starting […]

Jeremy Lamb is Still Unsure for Saturday

Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (hip) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The team is going to see how Lamb feels after shootaround and make a final decision. Justin Holiday, Doug McDermott, ad Edmond Sumner would see bigger roles without Lamb available. None of those players are reliable DFS candidates […]

Jrue Holiday is Ruled Out for Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. He suffered a left knee sprain during Friday's game, so the team is going to be cautious here. The Pelicans have plenty of depth, but none have the same kind of talent as Holiday. Lonzo Ball, J.J. […]

Andrei Svechnikov Scores Twice In Hurricanes Win

Carolina Hurricanes right wing Andrei Svechnikov ended a five-game pointless streak with a pair of goals in Saturday's 4-0 win over Chicago. Nino Niederreiter had a goal and an assist, while Eric Staal scored as well for Carolina. Svechnikov made a superb start to the season, posting four multi-point games in his first five appearances […]

Daniel Theis is Ruled Out for Saturday

Boston Celtics center Daniel Theis (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. He'll be joined on the sideline by fellow big man Enes Kanter (knee) is this one. Robert Williams will be asked to play as many minutes as he can handle versus the Knicks. He'll be a popular […]

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Should Play Versus Bulls

Toronto Raptors forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (groin) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He was listed as questionable due to a groin issue that forced him to miss the first two games of the season. He appears to be ready to play in this one, but is […]
