Jaylen Brown Has Season-High 31 Points In Win

Boston Celtics shooting guard Jaylen Brown led the Boston Celtics to a 112-93 win over the Miami Heat on Wednesday night. Brown poured in a season-high 31 points on 10-for-20 shooting and was also 5-for-9 from three. Brown is enjoying a breakout season and is flourishing on a Celtics team that seems revitalized without Kyrie […]

Kelly Olynyk Chips In 12 Points And Four Rebounds

Miami Heat power forward Kelly Olynyk had another solid night of contributions on Wednesday. In the Heat's 112-93 loss to the Boston Celtics, Olynyk had 12 points, four rebounds, two assists, one steal and hit one of his five three-pointers. This marked the eighth time in the last 10 games that Olynyk reach the double-digit […]

Jimmy Butler Scores Season-High 37 Points

Miami Heat small forward Jimmy Butler had his best scoring night of the season on Wednesday in a 112-93 loss to the Boston Celtics. Butler had 37 points, six rebounds, four assists and two steals in 37 minutes. Butler shot over 65% from the field and went 6-for-10 from three land. It was a welcome […]

Dennis Schroder Pours In 18 Points Off The Bench

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Dennis Schroder provided some support for the Thunder off the bench, dropping 18 points in 23 minutes in the loss. Schroder has been a surprise contributor for OKC all season long, scoffing at the presence of Chris Paul and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to average 15.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.9 assists […]

Malcolm Brogdon Struggles From The Field Against OKC

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon had just 11 points and six assists against the Thunder on Wednesday night. It was an off night for the breakout floor general, as OKC's guard duo of Chris Paul and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander bothered him into a four-of-13 shooting performance in 31 minutes. It tied his second-lowest scoring output of […]

T.J. Warren Scores 24 Points Against Oklahoma City

Indiana Pacers forward T.J. Warren finished a win over OKC with a game-high 24 points and four rebounds. Warren has been cooking with fire in recent games. He shot 60.0 percent from the field against the Thunder, marking his third straight outing passing the 50 percent threshold. It was also his fourth outing crossing 20 […]

Steven Adams Continues Resurgence With 20 Points Versus Indiana

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams posted another stellar outing against the Pacers with 20 points on a perfect eight of eight shooting and nine rebounds. Over his last six games, he's averaging 15.2 points, 9.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists, building off of a slow start after acclimating to a new point guard for the […]

Domantas Sabonis Posts Efficient Double-Double Against OKC

Indiana Pacers big man Domantas Sabonis finished off a win against the Thunder with 17 points on seven of 13 shooting along with 13 rebounds. His effort marked the sixth consecutive double-double, giving him 16 on the year, which is tied for third most across the entire NBA. Sabonis continues to show off his incredible […]

Reds Have Interest In Madison Bumgarner

The Cincinnati Reds are among the teams interested in starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner. Current manager David Bell worked previously in the Giants front office. The Braves, Twins, Angels, Padres, Yankees and Phillies are other possibilities for the veteran southpaw, and he could sign before the winter meetings kick off next week. Injuries are now a […]

Zack Cozart Expected To Be Ready For Spring Training

Los Angeles Angels general manager Billy Eppler said that third baseman Zack Cozart (shoulder) is in a normal hitting progression and all indications are that he'll be active and without restrictions in spring training next year. The 34-year-old has played in just 96 games in his two seasons in Anaheim and has been a massive […]

No Timetable For Shohei Ohtani To Pitch In Games Next Year

Los Angeles Angels general manager Billy Eppler isn't giving a timetable for when starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (elbow, knee) will pitch in games next season. The Angels will have more of an idea once the Japanese right-hander completes his throwing progression this month. Ohtani didn't pitch at all last season while recovering from Tommy […]

Matthew Stafford's Back Not A Long-Term Concern

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) said his back is healing "as it should" and that the injury won't be something that's an issue in 2020 or beyond. Stafford will miss his fifth straight game in Week 14 against the Vikings, though, and it seems unlikely he'll return in 2019. The Lions are 0-4 in […]

Jonas Valanciunas Will Play Wednesday On Minutes Limit

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (illness) will play Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls. Valanciunas is recovering from an illness and head coach Taylor Jenkins noted Valanciunas "might not play regular minutes". Sounds like he will be on a minutes limit after missing two games with the illness. The return of Valanciunas will take away touches […]

Luke Kennard Will Sit Out Second Night Of Back-To-Back

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Luke Kennard (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Kennard is dealing with a knee issue and was originally questionable to play. However, he will sit due to the nature of a back-to-back and the fact he had knee issues during training camp. Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk will start and is a […]

Hunter Renfrow Misses Practice Wednesday

Oakland Raiders rookie wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (rib) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Renfrow missed the Week 13 loss to the Chiefs and doesn't appear to be on track to return this Sunday against the Titans. He has 36 receptions for 396 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games with Oakland this […]

Josh Jacobs Playing Through Fractured Shoulder

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) revealed on his social media this week that he's been playing through a fractured right shoulder since getting hurt against the Packers in Week 7. It hasn't appeared to slow the impressive rookie down at all, and he has 1,061 yards on 201 carries in his first […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/4/19): NBA DFS Lineups

Wednesday brings the first double-digit game slate of the week with 10 games on display. The stars will be out and ready to shine. There are six teams (Dallas Mavericks, Detroit Pistons, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, Orlando Magic and Portland Trail Blazers) on their second game of a back-to-back set. Players such as Kristaps […]

Dede Westbrook Out For Personal Reasons Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (personal) missed practice on Wednesday. We're assuming that Westbrook will be able to play in Week 14 against the Chargers, but check back later this week to see if he returns to the team. If he doesn't, D.J. Chark and Chris Conley should both see more looks from Gardner […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (12/4/19): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Welcome to NBA Wednesday night. We have ten games on the slate tonight, and more than enough superstars to pay up for. We'll have to pick the right stars and scrubs as there will be some huge performances tonight. Let's dive right in! In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy […]

D.J. Chark, Chris Conley Limited Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receivers D.J. Chark (back) and Chris Conley (ankle) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Both players should be able to suit up for Week 14 against the Chargers. Chark has underwhelmed in back-to-back games with seven catches for 85 scoreless yards, but the good news is he'll have rookie Gardner Minshew […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 12/4/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

We have 10 games tonight, and while I tried to find props that weren't just points, my safest bets turned out to be revolving around points. I won't let gambler's fallacy sway me in making some of these picks so it looks like you're stuck with what I chose. Regardless, all these picks are lined […]

Colts Claim Chase McLaughlin Off Waivers

The Indianapolis Colts claimed kicker Chase McLaughlin off waivers from the 49ers on Wednesday and waived tight end Matt Lengel in a corresponding move. The 23-year-old McLaughlin was released by the Bills during final cuts and has spent time with the Vikings, Chargers and 49ers since. In seven games with the Chargers and Niners in […]

Brook Lopez Will Return on Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (back) will return to the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He missed the last two games due to a back issue, but should be fine now. Robin Lopez should slide back to the bench with his brother ready to return as starter. He could be a […]

Kevin Huerter Will Be on Minutes Limit

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Kevin Huerter (shoulder) will play in Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He's missed the last 11 games due to a left shoulder issue, but will suit up on Wednesday. However, the Hawks are going to limit Huerter to 15-20 minutes in his first game back. He was a decent fantasy option […]

Royce Freeman, Von Miller Limited Wednesday

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman (ribs) and outside linebacker Von Miller (knee) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Freeman should be able to play, but he's the clear backup to Phillip Lindsay of late and won't have much flex appeal in the first week of the fantasy playoffs against Houston. Miller missed his […]

Ricky Rubio is Fine for Wednesday

Phoenix Suns guard Ricky Rubio (hand) is expected to be fine for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Head coach Monty Williams said Rubio was "good to go", which means it's safe for fantasy owners to plug him into their lineups. It doesn't sound like Rubio will be limited since the injury was on his […]

De'Andre Hunter Ruled Out for Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (finger) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He was downgraded to doubtful on Tuesday and will officially sit out due to a dislocated right finger. Deandre Bembry is going to gain the most fantasy value out of the loss of Hunter. DFS players should take […]

Marcus Smart Won't Play Against the Heat

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. He was listed as doubtful due to an abdominal injury, but he's been ruled out because of illness now. Semi Ojeleye should be in line for the start, while Carsen Edwards and Brad Wanamaker get extra minutes off […]

D'Angelo Russell Will Return on Wednesday

Golden State Warriors guard D'Angelo Russell (thumb) is expected to be back in action for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He's missed the last nine games due to a lingering thumb issue. The Warriors should have him on a minutes limit, so Russell won't be a great DFS option here. Alec Burks and Ky […]

Dolphins Claim Mack Hollins Off Waivers

The Miami Dolphins claimed wide receiver Mack Hollins off waivers from the Eagles on Wednesday. The former fourth-round pick had just 10 catches for 125 yards in 12 games for the Eagles this year and failed to capitalize with Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson missing games with injuries. Even on a Miami team with little […]
