Joe Harris Scores 21 Points With Six Three-Pointers

Brooklyn Nets small forward Joe Harris dropped six three-point bombs on the Lakers in Thursday's 109-98 win, finishing with 21 points on 7-for-10 overall shooting from the field. He added five rebounds, one assist, and one steal to his line. Harris has found it difficult to make noise since the Nets formed its Big Three, […]

James Harden Has Double-Double In Win Over Lakers

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden had a very efficient outing in Thursday's marquee matchup against the Lakers, notching a 23-point, 11-assist double-double while shooting 7-for-15 from the field and 6-for-7 at the line with only one turnover in 38 minutes. He went 3-for-7 from deep and added five rebounds, two steals, and one block. Harden […]

Spring training is officially underway, and with that comes the start of fantasy baseball draft season.

Matt Harvey May Not Start For Orioles

Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Thursday that he will keep his options open with newly signed pitcher Matt Harvey. In terms of whether Harvey would be considered as a starter or a bullpen option, Hyde said: "Nothing is set in stone and we're just going to give him an opportunity to make the team." […]

NASCAR Truck Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for BrakeBest Brake Pads 159 At Daytona (2/19/21)

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series will make its second-ever appearance at the Daytona road course on Friday. Last year, Sheldon Creed led 19 laps on his way to a victory in the inaugural event, while we saw drivers like Scott Lagassee Jr. finish ninth and Austin Wayne Self 11th. Unlike the Xfinity race that […]

Trey Mancini Reports Early To Camp Thursday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman/outfielder Trey Mancini "looked really good" during Thursday's training sessions, per manager Brandon Hyde. Mancini fielded ground balls and hit as well. The 28-year-old missed the entirety of the 2020 season receiving treatment for colon cancer, so it is great news to see him back on the field. Mancini posted career numbers […]

LCK DFS Picks for 2/20: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

Ugly, ugly league of legends was played last night in the LCK. T1 ran the same trashy draft back into DRX three times, and it didn't work out. I wouldn't be surprised to see the third jungler Oner make his debut next time out as the gap was punished by Pyosik quite hard. KT did […]

NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Super Start Batteries 188 At Daytona (2/20/21)

On Saturday, the Xfinity Series makes its second trip to the Daytona road course. Last year, Austin Cindric led 21 laps on his way to a win. His biggest competition, Chase Briscoe, crashed after 46 laps, but Briscoe did lead 26 laps. The race saw some strong showings from unexpected places, including a top-five finish […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Flirts With Triple-Double In Loss

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 23 points with 12 rebounds, eight assists, and two steals in Thursday's loss to the Raptors. Antetokounmpo had a good game, though it seemed a bit empty compared to his last few efforts, which saw him compile strong numbers in the point, rebound, and assist categories while also registering […]

Pascal Siakam Drops 27 Points With Full Line

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam bounced back after a couple of rough shooting performances in his last two games. Siakam dropped 27 points on 9 of 18 shooting from the field, adding six rebounds, five assists, two triples, two blocks, and a steal in a 110-96 win over the Bucks. The 26-year-old got off to […]

Norman Powell Matches Season-High In Points With 29

Toronto Raptors guard Norman Powell was on fire in Thursday night's win over the Bucks. Powell scored 29 points, matching his season-high, along with four rebounds, four triples, three assists, and two steals in 31 minutes. The 27-year-old stepped up with Kyle Lowry (thumb) out of the lineup, scoring 17 of his 29 in the […]

Taurean Prince To Miss Another Game On Friday Night

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Taurean Prince (ankle) won't play on Friday night against the Nuggets. This will mark the veteran's second-straight absence as he continues to deal with left ankle soreness. In his stead, Jarrett Allen and Cedi Osman should continue to see a hefty increase in fantasy value, so managers in all formats will want […]

James Wiseman Remains Out On Friday Evening

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (wrist) will be out again on Friday against Orlando. The rookie continues to deal with residual pain associated with his sprained wrist, which is unwelcome news as the team will also be without Kevon Looney (ankle) and possibly Draymond Green (ankle). If Green plays, he will likely slide in […]

Scott Oberg On Track To Return In 2021

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Scott Oberg (shoulder) is on track to return to the bullpen this year, according to Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post. The 30-year-old right-hander missed the entire 2020 season due to blood-clotting issues in his throwing arm, which eventually required thoracic outlet surgery on his right shoulder in September. Oberg told reporters […]

Richaun Holmes Listed As Out On Official Injury Report

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (knee) is listed as out on the league's official injury report. While some reports have surfaced that he will test things out before opening tip against the Heat, fantasy managers should expect the 27-year-old to miss his second-straight contest. With Holmes out, Marvin Bagley III will see some time in […]

Goran Dragic Out Again On Thursday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (ankle) is out for Thursday's matchup against the Kings. The veteran didn't travel with the team for its West Coast road trip, so his absence was expected all along. Without Dragic in the lineup, the team will continue to roll with Kendrick Nunn at the one, opening the door for […]

LeBron James Probable Against Nets

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is considered probable for Thursday's meeting against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran has been dealing with the ailment for quite some time but has still managed to play, so his designation shouldn't come as a surprise. With Brooklyn giving up points at historic levels, the former MVP should […]

Mike Conley Remains Questionable

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (hamstring) is questionable for Friday night’s matchup against the Clippers. The veteran has been dealing with tightness in the area and has missed his previous six contests as a result. If he remains out, Donovan Mitchell should continue to see a bump in usage running things at the point, with […]

Nicolas Batum Questionable On Friday Night

Los Angeles Clippers forward Nicolas Batum (concussion) is listed as questionable for Friday's meeting against Utah. The veteran has missed his previous two outings, opening the door for Serge Ibaka and Marcus Morris to see a dramatic increase in minutes. Batum is averaging 9.7 points, 1.4 steals, and shooting 45.6 percent from deep during the […]

Jonathan Quick Makes Eighth Start Of The Season

Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick will make his eighth start of the season in Thursday's matchup versus Arizona. The 2012 Conn Smythe Trophy winner enters the contest having just registered his 53rd career shutout in a 4-0 win over Minnesota. It was a much-needed performance by Quick on Tuesday, as he's had a tough […]

Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS Picks (2/19/21) - DraftKings Daily Fantasy

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to another edition of my Counter Strike: Global Offensive DFS picks. Today we will be focusing on Group A at the IEM Katowice. Katowice is arguably the premier event of the CS:GO calendar, major or not, so we can expect some crazy games this weekend. As always, I will do my best to give you […]

Kaapo Kahkonen Remains In Minnesota's Crease

Minnesota Wild goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen will get his seventh start of the season on Thursday against Anaheim. He took an ugly 4-0 loss on Tuesday against the Kings when Minnesota restarted its season following a COVID-19 break. Cam Talbot is off the COVID-19 protocol list as well now, but the Wild still go with Kahkonen […]

Darcy Kuemper Faces Kings On Thursday

Arizona Coyotes goaltender Darcy Kuemper will make his 13th start of the season on Thursday against the L.A. Kings. He has just posted his first shutout of the year with a 24-save performance in a 1-0 win over St. Louis, so his confidence should be sky-high at the moment. Kuemper is 5-6-1 for the season […]

Martin Jones Takes On Blues Thursday Night

San Jose Sharks goaltender Martin Jones will be between the pipes for Thursday's visit to St. Louis. The 31-year-old has beaten the Blues once already this season with a 22-save effort in a 2-1 overtime victory, but it's been a rollercoaster ride for him behind a shaky Sharks defense. Jones has a positive 6-4-0 record […]
