Jerick McKinnon Leads Chiefs In Rushing On Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon finished with 12 carries for 65 yards during the overtime loss to Cincinnati on Sunday. He also added three catches for 30 yards. The 29-year-old wasn't much of a factor during the regular season. However, he stepped things up during the playoffs and was one of the most […]

Cam Akers Questionable To Return Versus San Francisco

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's NFC Championship game against San Francisco. Before the injury, Akers was having a solid outing, accumulating 31 yards off six carries. Nonetheless, an official update regarding his status moving forward should come soon. However, if Akers can't make it back, Sony […]

Tyler Higbee Questionable To Return For NFC Championship

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee is questionable to return to Sunday's NFC Championship game against the 49ers. The veteran sustained an undisclosed injury in the first quarter, possibly to his knee, and needed assistance to leave the field. It certainly doesn't look like a promising situation, so DFS managers shouldn't be surprised if […]

Patrick Mahomes Unable To Lift Chiefs To Super Bowl

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes finished with 275 yards, three touchdowns, two picks, and a fumble during the nerve-racking AFC Championship loss to Cincinnati. He also added three carries for 19 yards. The former MVP was on fire to begin the game. However, he cooled off in the second half and couldn't find the […]

Will Barton Will Play Against Bucks

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (illness) will be available for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It was uncertain if Barton was going to play here due to a non-COVID related illness. However, his return will likely shift Austin Rivers back to the second unit. Rivers won't have as much streaming appeal with Barton back […]

Jimmy Butler Uncertain For Monday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. It sounds like Butler suffered an ankle injury while playing 52 minutes during the triple-overtime loss on Saturday. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Raptors give Butler the night off for rest purposes. Caleb Martin and Max […]

DeMarcus Cousins Won't Play Against Bucks

Denver Nuggets center DeMarcus Cousins (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Cousins won't get a chance to take on his former team due to a right foot sprain. JaMychal Green, Zeke Nnaji, and Jeff Green are all available, so the Nuggets will have plenty of options at center. None […]

Kristaps Porzingis Not Available On Sunday

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) didn't travel with the team for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. He was only able to play 11 minutes on Saturday before exiting with right knee soreness. His absence means more playing time for Maxi Kleber and Dwight Powell. The hope is that Porzingis can play in their […]

Nick Bosa Playing On Sunday Night

San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Nick Bosa will play on Sunday night against the Rams. Bosa was listed on the injury report earlier in the week because of a personal matter but did practice on Thursday and Friday. The 24-year-old was instrumental in helping lift the Niners past the Packers during the Divisional-Round, finishing with […]

George Hill Won't Play Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. It appears the Bucks are going to play it safe with their veteran guard. Grayson Allen should more minutes coming his way on Sunday. His usage should increase as well, which makes him an interesting DFS option. Hill […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. Out For NFC Championship

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's NFC Championship against the Rams. The 26-year-old sustained a sprained ankle during Saturday's snowy Divisional-Round win over Green Bay and practiced sparingly throughout the week. Fortunately, Elijah Mitchell (knee) will play, with JaMycal Hasty listed behind him on the depth chart. However, […]

Luke Getsy To Serve As Bears New Offensive Coordinator

The Chicago Bears are hiring former Packers assistant Luke Getsy as its new offensive coordinator. Getsy most recently spent his last three seasons in Green Bay, where he served as the quarterback coach and passing coordinator. He will play a pivotal role in the development of Justin Fields, the No. 11 pick of the 2021 […]

Josh McDaniels Hired By Las Vegas

The Las Vegas Raiders are hiring Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels as its new head coach. McDaniels was one of the most sought-after coaching candidates for years by a number of teams after spending over a decade in New England, helping the Patriots capture six Super Bowls during his tenure. The 45-year-old will have his […]

Derrick Rose To Return Shortly After All-Star Break

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (ankle) is hopeful to return shortly after the All-Star break. He hasn't played since before Christmas, but is making progress towards a return. He shouldn't have any problems finding playing time off the bench. Kemba Walker and Immanuel Quickley are his main competition for playing time. Alec Burks should […]

C.J. Uzomah Out For The Rest Of The AFC Championship

Cincinnati Bengals tight end C.J. Uzomah (knee) will not return to Sunday's AFC Championship versus Kansas City. The 29-year-old failed to bring in either of his two targets before eventually hopping off the field on one leg in the first half. Fortunately, the belief is that Uzomah suffered an MCL sprain, so if Cincy makes […]

Josh Jackson Unlikely To Play Sunday

Detroit Pistons forward Josh Jackson (back) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was able to play 16 minutes on Friday, but continues to deal with back tightness. There's a good chance he sits this one out, so he can try and recover from this issue. Frank Jackson and Rodney […]

Aaron Gordon Might Sit Versus Bucks

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was a late addition to the injury report due to a non-COVID related illness. Zeke Nnaji has been playing better lately and could slide into the starting five on Sunday. He's averaging 9.5 points and 3.8 rebounds […]

Lauri Markkanen To Remain Sidelined On Sunday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Lauri Markkanen (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This marks the third game in a row that Markkanen has missed due to a right ankle sprain. It wouldn't be surprising if Markkanen misses a few more games due to this issue. Dean Wade has been starting […]

Will Barton Probable For Sunday

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (illness) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He sat out of Friday's game due to a non-COVID related illness. Austin Rivers has been seeing an increased role lately, but could have less minutes, assuming Barton returns here. Although, Rivers might still be worth holding even […]

LeBron James Expected To Miss Time

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (knee) is expected to miss some time. An MRI revealed left knee swelling, but the Lakers are going to be cautious with their superstar forward. Stanley Johnson is most likely going to remain in the starting five until James returns. Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis will be asked to […]

Darrel Williams, Tyrann Mathieu Active For AFC Title Game

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darrel Williams (toe) and defensive back Tyrann Mathieu (concussion) are officially active and will play in the AFC Championship Game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Williams was inactive for last Sunday's Divisional-Round win versus the Buffalo Bills but is all systems go against the Bengals after practicing in a limited fashion […]

Jae Crowder Questionable For Sunday

Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He has missed each of the last three games due to a left wrist contusion. Cameron Johnson has been excellent lately and is worth streaming while Crowder is out. Fantasy managers should check the waiver wire and […]

Deandre Ayton Questionable Versus Spurs

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He has missed each of the five games while dealing with an ankle injury. JaVale McGee (knee) is questionable as well, which means Bismack Biyombo could be looking at significant minutes once again. He'll be a strong […]

Russell Westbrook Expected To Play Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook (knee) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He was able to play through the issue during the Lakers last game. Anthony Davis (wrist) is expected to play as well, so Westbrook won't be forced to do everything. However, LeBron James (knee) is out, so […]

Malik Monk Probable Versus Hawks

Los Angeles Lakers guard Malik Monk (groin) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He is expected to make his return to the court after a one-game absence. Wayne Ellington should shift back to the bench after a lackluster performance in Monk's place. Monk could be asked to take on a […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Downgraded To Out

Charlotte Hornets forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (ankle) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This marks the second game in a row that Oubre has missed due to a left ankle sprain. It's a shame because Oubre was starting to heat up before the injury. Gordon Hayward will be […]

Nicolas Batum Ruled Out Against Hornets

Los Angeles Clippers forward Nicolas Batum (back) won't be available for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Instead, Marcus Morris Sr. should take his place in the starting five. Justise Winslow will likely back him up, but Morris should benefit the most with Batum sidelined. Morris is looking like a strong streaming option and a […]

Anthony Davis Available Versus Hawks

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (wrist) will be available for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The superstar big man will make his return to the court after a one game absence. He'll be asked to play a bigger role than normal with LeBron James (knee) still sidelined. Fantasy managers should expect Davis to […]

Trae Young Cleared For Sunday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (hip) has been cleared to play for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This is great news since Young has been on fire lately. Over the last six games, Young is averaging 27.2 points, 8.7 assists, and 4.7 rebounds with 1.7 steals. The uptick in steals is nice to […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/30/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

Just a five-game slate on tap tonight as there are three matinee contests in the NBA as well as the almighty NFL Championship Round games kicking off at 2:00 pm CT.
