Patty Mills (PG/SG, BKN): Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues ANALYSIS: As long as Kyrie Irving remains unvaccinated and thus ineligible to play for the Nets (or he gets traded away in exchange for another point guard), Patty Mills will stay as the main beneficiary of Irving stubborn ways. And things have gotten […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (PG/SG, WAS): Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of leagues ANALYSIS: Not a single game. Not a single one has KCP missed this season when it comes to being part of the Wiz Kiz starting lineup, manning the SF slot 19 times already to kick the year off. Quarter of a season in […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (11/28/21): NBA DFS Lineups

Our Sunday slate on DraftKings is a little smaller today with only three games thanks to a two-game early slate. That one's pretty easy. Run Stephen Curry and worry about the rest later.

Matthew Tkachuk Breaks Double Digits In Goals Saturday

Calgary Flames left-winger Matthew Tkachuk scored again on Saturday night at home giving him ten goals in just 21 games. Tkachuk hit the net three times in all but his first shot found the mark at 26 seconds. All the forward had to do was keep his stick on the ice as Johnny Gaudreau fired […]

Johnny Gaudreau Sets Up Two More Goals Saturday

Calgary Flames left-winger Johnny Gaudreau keeps playing at an amazing pace this season. He set up two goals during the first period of Calgary's 4-2 loss at home versus the Winnipeg Jets. That gave Gaudreau his fourth multiple assist effort of the season and 69th of his career. Overall, the left-winger has 16 assists and […]

Jacob Markstrom Takes Loss On Saturday

Calgary Flames goaltender Jacob Markstrom allowed three goals on 27 shots in a home loss to the Winnipeg Jets Saturday. This dropped Markstrom to just 3-2-3 in Calgary. In those eight games, the goaltender has given up 15 goals at even strength. Markstrom has watched just 12 pucks go behind him overall in eight road […]

Blake Wheeler Snaps Out Of Offensive Funk With Two Assists

Winnipeg Jets right-winger Blake Wheeler is one of the best passers in the NHL. He can feed a player for a one-timer in a way that is too good for words. His feed to Kyle Connor in the third period on Saturday was perfect. The result was Connor's second goal and turned out to be […]

Connor Hellebuyck Stands Firm In Winnipeg Win Saturday

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck rebounded off a bad start in Minnesota on Friday night. After a rough start where the goaltender gave up two early goals to Calgary, Hellebuyck stopped every shot after. That included a 16-shot third period barrage where the Winnipeg goalie stopped a key high-danger chance. He faced 12 in all […]

Kyle Connor Breaks Mini Slump With Two Goals Saturday

Winnipeg Jets left-winger Kyle Connor had gone three straight games without a point. Some expected that to continue in Calgary on Saturday night. Early on, the Flames jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead. Then, Connor responded firmly with a late first-period tally that turned the entire game around. The left-wing sniper then struck again […]

Dave Rittich Yields Six Goals In Road Defeat Saturday

Nashville Predators goaltender Dave Rittich had a long night in net against the Colorado Avalanche. Colorado scored six times on 35 shots including three goals from Mikko Rantanen. The quality of scoring chances just seemed high all night. Rittich faced four high-danger chances in the third period as three went in the net. It was […]

Matt Duchene Nets Another Goal On Saturday

Nashville Predators center Matt Duchene scored late on Saturday in a 6-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche. Duchene scored with less than four minutes remaining in the game to make it 5-2 at the time. His goal was the 13th on the season already. That gives him a total of 22 points in 21 games. […]

Jonas Johansson Steady In Colorado Win Saturday

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Jonas Johansson showed on Saturday night that he could be serviceable as a backup. He was steady in net as Johansson stopped 26 of 28 shots in the Avalanche 6-2 home win. The goalie notched his second win in three starts (both quality starts). Also, Johansson provided a clean sheet on the […]

Cale Makar Continues Scoring Run With Three More Assists

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar dished out three assists on Saturday in the Avalanche 6-2 win. Makar extended his point streak to six games and now has 12 points in that span. The Avalanche defenseman only had one shot on goal but blocked two shots in the victory. Makar now has 20 points in just […]

Mikko Rantanen Wrecks Nashville With Hat Trick Saturday

Colorado Avalanche forward Mikko Rantanen may be enjoying this role as a center. Rantanen scored three times on Saturday to up his season total to ten. That is ten goals in 15 games which seems out of the ordinary. However, it is not for Rantanen. Last season, the forward scored 30 in just 52 contests. […]

Joonas Korpisalo Gives Up Six Goals Saturday

Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Joonas Korpisalo allowed six goals on 33 shots Saturday as the team in front of him fell apart defensively. Korpisalo got little support defensively as the Russian line from St. Louis played a role in five of the six goals. The one concern is that this sort of problem tends to […]

Boone Jenner Returns To Goal Scoring Column Saturday

Columbus Blue Jackets center Boone Jenner had not scored in four games before lighting the lamp on Saturday night against St. Louis. Worse, Jenner had just five shots on goal in that span including zero in his last game. The forward fired three shots on Saturday including the power-play goal midway into the first period. […]

Adam Boqvist Breaks Out In Losing Effort Saturday

Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Adam Boqvist was paired a good bit with Zach Werenski on Saturday night. Boqvist scored two goals and assisted on a third as he figured into all of the Blue Jackets' scoring. Two of his three points came on the man advantage. The young defenseman had a power-play assist in the […]

Vladimir Tarasenko Turns Playmaker On Saturday Night

St. Louis Blues right-winger Vladimir Tarasenko took a page from teammate Robert Thomas on Saturday. Tarasenko set up three goals en route to a 6-3 St. Louis win. The forward had two shots on goal and a couple of scoring chances. However, it was his passing that created the headlines. He set up Pavel Buchnevich […]

Ivan Barbashev Joins The Party With Two Goals Saturday

St. Louis Blues center Ivan Barbashev was flanked by Pavel Buchnevich and Vladimir Tarasenko on Saturday. They created havoc as even Ivan Barbashev scored twice in just over 17 minutes of ice time. He managed three shots on net and a blocked shot. Mind you, all the damage was done at even strength. The St. […]

Pavel Buchnevich Nets Three Points In Win Saturday

St. Louis Blues right-winger Pavel Buchnevich scored twice and added an assist on Saturday night. His effort helped St. Louis defeat the Columbus Blue Jackets 6-3. Not only was the Russian +4 on the night, he fired five shots on goal and had four scoring chances as well. Buchnevich and Vladimir Tarasenko connected directly during […]

Jason Myers - Week 12 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers has been relatively quiet all season long, and that's not necessarily going to change in Week 12 against the Washington Football Team. After allowing 20 or more points in each of their first seven games, Washington's defense has held their last three opponents to 21 or fewer points. Myers is […]

DK Metcalf - Week 12 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf is looking for a bounce-back game in Week 12 against the Washington Football Team after back-to-back quiet games. After scoring double digits in fantasy points in each of his first eight games, he's been held to 7.1 or fewer points in each of his last two games. Metcalf still […]

Tyler Lockett - Week 12 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett is coming off of a solid outing last week and he is looking to keep that rolling with a good matchup against the Washington Football Team in Week 12. Lockett has double-digit fantasy performances in two of his last three games after having only one in his previous five. […]

Alex Collins - Week 12 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Seattle Seahawks running back Alex Collins was a solid fantasy option for several weeks, he's struggled of late along with the rest of the offense, and he could continue to struggle in Week 12 against the Washington Football Team. Collins is in the midst of a four-game stretch of single-digit fantasy outings in full-PPR formats. […]

Russell Wilson - Week 12 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has struggled in his return to play over the last two weeks, but he has a great matchup in Week 12 against the Washington Football Team. After having 20 or more fantasy points in three of his first four games of the season, he's put up single digits in each […]
