Dennis Schroder Inefficient in Loss

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder did not have a good game in his team's 13-point loss to the Hornets. Schroder only connected on six of his 14 shot attempts, missing all five from behind the arc for a mere 13 points. He added two rebounds and nine assists, but such an inefficient night from […]

Greg Monroe Has Been Bought Out

Updating a previous note, Phoenix Suns forward/center Greg Monroe has officially been bought out by the Suns. Monroe was very productive when starting, but the rotation forced him to record multiple healthy scratches after being traded there from the Milwaukee Bucks. Monroe will now look for a fresh start and should see a good amount of […]

Kent Bazemore Stays Hot in Loss

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Kent Bazemore had another efficient night in his team's 110-123 loss to the Hornets. Bazemore shot 8-for-11 from the field, including 3-for-5 from deep, while adding two rebounds, five assists and a steal. That's two games in a row where Bazemore has shot over 57 percent from the field. Unfortunately, that […]

Greg Monroe Away From The Team

Suns writer Scott Bordow reports Phoenix Suns forward/center Greg Monroe is not with the team for Wednesday night's game against the Dallas Mavericks. This could mean Monroe will be bought out by Phoenix, but the timing is odd since there is still a week left until the trade deadline. For now, expect Monroe to stay […]

Shane Larkin Will Play Wednesday

Boston Celtics point guard Shane Larkin (knee) is available against the New York Knicks on Wednesday night. Larkin is battling a sore knee but will give it a go and back up Terry Rozier. Rozier is making his first career start with Kyrie Irving (thigh) and Marcus Smart (hand) out of the lineup. With Larkin […]

Tom Brady Practicing Wednesday

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (hand) practiced with black tape on his right hand Wednesday, according to AFC practice pool reporter Nicki Jhabvala. Brady was removed from the team's injury report last week, and he'll be all systems go for the Super Bowl against the Eagles this Sunday. After torching both Tennessee and Jacksonville, […]

Tyreke Evans Won't Play Again Until He's Traded

Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Tyreke Evans won't be a Grizzly for much longer. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the Grizzlies will hold Evans out until a trade can be worked out, effectively ending Evans' brief tenure in Memphis. His long-term fantasy value will depend a lot on where he lands, but in the right situation […]

Tom Brady Ready To Add To His Legacy

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will be vying for his sixth championship and the third in his last four seasons this Sunday against the Eagles in the Super Bowl. Brady has been on fire all postseason, throwing five touchdowns with zero interceptions and 627 passing yards in two games. The 40-year-old will go up […]

Lance Stephenson Ready To Play Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Lance Stephenson (thigh) is available to play against his former team Wednesday, the Memphis Grizzlies. Stephenson was questionable with a thigh injury, but it was labeled as minor. Stephenson will take his usual bench role of 23.2 minutes per game. Lately, his scoring has been up from his season average of 8.9 […]

Delino DeShields to Compete for Starting Job

Texas Rangers outfielder Delino DeShields has worked hard in the offseason to improve his defense in center field, and Jeff Wilson of the Star-Telegram believes that he is likely to win the starting job in spring training. With the Rangers missing out on outfielder Lorenzo Cain, who ultimately signed a five-year, $80 million deal with […]

Rob Gronkowski Presents Matchup Nightmare For Eagles

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski will be the Eagles toughest defensive assignment for this Sunday's Super Bowl. The Eagles allowed the 14th fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends during the regular season, but they have rarely faced the caliber of tight end that is Gronk this season. Philadelphia was burned on the […]

Nikola Mirotic Being Held Out Until Trade Deadline Passes

Chicago Bulls power forward Nikola Mirotic will not play for Chicago before the trade deadline. Mirotic was rumored to have been traded to the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday, but the trade eventually fell through. The Bulls have opted to sit Mirotic for the near future while they try to find a suitor for his […]

Can James White Repeat Last Year's Super Bowl Performance?

New England Patriots running back James White is only one year removed from 139 total yards and 14 receptions in the Patriots Super Bowl comeback last season against the Falcons. This season, White has returned to his complementary role, receiving only 43 carries all season for 171 yards. The veteran running back presents a change […]

Tony Allen Plays Zero Minutes In Return

New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard Tony Allen returned on Tusday after a fractured leg had kept him out since early December, but he didn't play a single minute in the Pelicans loss to the Sacramento Kings. Fantasy owners who hoped Allen could return and contribute defensive stats were already hoping for a bit of a […]

Jaron Brown Could Move On In Free Agency

Arizona Cardinals impending free-agent wide receiver Jaron Brown is expected to receive a decent deal in free agency. The special teamer turned starting receiver may not re-sign with the Cardinals, which would put his fantasy value in flux until he finds a new team. However, were Brown to stay in Arizona, he should be considered […]

Dwayne Allen Not Worth A Play Against Eagles

New England Patriots tight end Dwayne Allen is not expected to be heavily involved in the Patriots offensive game plan for this Sunday's Super Bowl. Allen caught two passes for 26 yards in the AFC Divisional Round against the Bills but has been non-existent this season. He has only one touchdown catch on the season […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/31/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

The Wednesday slate is lighter than normal thanks to a busy Tuesday slate. That hasn't effected the value plays thanks to several players worth highlighting who are returning from injuries and underpriced as a result. What is lacking on this slate is a lot of high priced studs, so picking the most likely players to […]

Rex Burkhead Will Be Touchdown-Dependent Option For Super Bowl

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead will be a sleeper red-zone target for the Patriots this Sunday when they face the Eagles in the Super Bowl. Burkhead will have a tough test going up against an Eagles defense that allowed the second fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. But Burkhead, when […]

Kris Dunn Expected To Miss At Least Three More Games

Chicago Bulls point guard Kris Dunn (concussion) is traveling with the team for a trip to the West Coast, but he isn't expected to play in any of those games as he continues to try to work his way back after a concussion suffered in a fall two weeks ago. Dunn could miss more than […]

Dion Lewis Will Be Super Bowl X-Factor For Patriots

New England Patriots running back Dion Lewis will go up against an Eagles defense that allowed the second fewest fantasy points to opposing runners during the regular season. Other than allowing 103 yards to Ezekiel Elliott in Week 17, the Eagles have not allowed a single player more than 96 rushing yards in a game […]

Chris Hogan A Fantasy Darkhorse For Super Bowl

New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan will head into Super Bowl Sunday as somewhat of a forgotten man. With the postseason emergence of Danny Amendola, a very talented receiver in Hogan is flying under the radar. Hogan battled injuries all season and has struggled getting back into the flow of the Patriots offense despite […]

Danny Amendola Rides Hot Postseason Into Super Bowl

New England Patriots wide receiver Danny Amendola will have plenty of eyes on him in the Super Bowl after posting 18 receptions for 196 yards and two touchdowns during this season's playoffs. Amendola has replaced receiver Julian Edelman as quarterback Tom Brady's preferred target in the intermediate passing game, and Amendola has delivered. Health has always been […]

Brett Anderson An Option For Blue Jays

There is mutual interest between free-agent pitcher Brett Anderson and the Toronto Blue Jays, but the Blue Jays will likely aim higher on the free-agent market for now. Anderson could be an option for the back end of the starting rotation, but the left-hander has made just 20-plus starts only twice in nine seasons. In […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/31/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a eight game NBA slate, which is a good size for a Wednesday and there are some interesting options across the board. There are a number of injuries going around, so this should open up some value plays once we get the starting lineups. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball […]

Lance Stephenson is Questionable on Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Lance Stephenson (thigh) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. It is not that big of an issue, so if he does sit on Wednesday, it'll likely just be a one-game absence. Bojan Bogdanovic and Cory Joseph would split the majority of the minutes if Stephenson is out. […]

Brandin Cooks' Speed Tips Scales In Patriots Favor On Offense

New England Patriots wide receiver Brandin Cooks will be one of the few offensive threats with the speed to make a big-time play against the Eagles in the Super Bowl on Sunday. Quarterback Tom Brady will continue to try and move the chains with quick, decisive throws, but he should take some shots down the field […]

Devin Booker Questionable Against Mavs

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ribs) is questionable to play against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. The X-rays came back negative, but it would not be too surprising if Booker sat out one more game. Marquese Chriss (ankle) is also listed as questionable for this contest. Isaiah Canaan and Dragan Bender would get another chance […]

JaMychal Green is Doubtful Against Pacers

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center JaMychal Green (ankle) is doubtful to play against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. It looks like Green will most likely be spending his fifth game in a row on the sidelines. Jarell Martin will see more minutes if Green does not play on Wednesday. Green has not been very good this season, […]

Dillon Brooks is Questionable on Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Dillon Brooks (knee) is questionable to play against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. He tweaked his knee on Monday, and it would not be surprising if the Grizzlies decide to give him the night off. If Brooks is out, Jarell Martin, Wayne Selden and Kobi Simmons would see increased minutes and usage. […]
