FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/2/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Since this is getting posted much later than usual, the focus is just going to be on the main slate. In the early game between the Rockets and Kings, James Harden and Christian Wood are still the go-to guys, but with John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins entering the rotation, and thriving, it's going to take […]

Michael Porter Jr. Unavailable To Play Sunday

Denver Nuggets small/power forward Michael Porter Jr. (COVID-19 protocols) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Timberwolves as he continues to work his way through the league's health and safety protocols. Porter missed Friday's game, which allowed both Will Barton and Gary Harris to log 36 minutes. Having averaged 19.5 points and 6.8 […]

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Streamers for Week 2

Welcome to Week 2, where the sample sizes are small but the emotional overreactions are at stock market highs. It feels good when the players you drafted are balling out, but don't count your fantasy winnings yet. On the flip side, while it's painful to watch the players you birthed and nurtured throughout the draft […]

Lauri Markkanen Headlines Bulls Quartet Ruled Out Sunday

Chicago Bulls power forward Lauri Markkanen, point guards Tomas Satoransky and Ryan Arcidiacono, and small forward Chandler Hutchison (COVID-19 protocols) have all been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Mavericks due to testing for the league's health and safety protocols. The absence will mark the third straight game that the quartet will be unavailable, […]

LeBron James Continues To Draw Questionable Tag Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard/small forward LeBron James (ankle) has once again earned a questionable designation entering Sunday's game versus the Grizzlies. James turned his ankle earlier in the year, but has not yet been forced to miss a contest because of it. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (ankle) has also picked up a questionable tag for the […]

Alec Burks Unavailable For Saturday’s Contest

New York Knicks shooting guard Alec Burks (ankle) has been given the thumbs down to suiting up for Saturday's contest versus the Pacers. Burks will remain day-to-day moving forward, but look for Reggie Bullock to continue reprising a significant offensive role on the wing in his absence. There should be more shot opportunities within the […]

Evan Fournier Ruled Out For Saturday’s Game

Orlando Magic shooting guard/small forward Evan Fournier (back) will miss Saturday's contest versus Oklahoma City as he continues to deal with back spasms. Michael Carter-Williams will enter the starting five in his stead and should see increased DFS appeal. Terence Ross and Cole Anthony also could have some upside without Fournier in the mix, as […]

Raiders Defense Has Solid Matchup Against Broncos

The Raiders defense has been mostly poor all season but may be worthy of starting consideration in Week 17. The Broncos are averaging just 19.5 points per game this season, and Drew Lock has thrown 15 interceptions. The Raiders defense dominated in their Week 10 matchup against the Broncos, allowing just 12 points and grabbing […]

Colts Defense A Great Play Against Jaguars

The Colts Defense has a good opportunity for an elite performance against the Jaguars poor offense. The Jaguars are without their top running back James Robinson and do not have a dependable quarterback. They are averaging just 19.5 points per game on the season and only 13.7 over their last three. The Colts defense ranks […]

Impossible To Depend On Trey Burton In Week 17

Indianapolis Colts tight end Trey Burton does not have much fantasy upside heading into the regular season finale against the Jaguars. He has three or less catches in nine consecutive games and has not found the end zone since Week 12. Fellow tight ends, Jack Doyle and Mo Alie-Cox have seen an increased workload, but […]

Darren Waller Looks To Finish Strong

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller will look to cap off what has been an incredible 2020 campaign in Week 17. Over the last four games, Waller is averaging nearly nine catches for about 134 yards per contest. The Broncos Defense held Waller to just three catches for 37 yards in their first meeting, […]

Danilo Gallinari Will Miss Second Straight Game

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (ankle) is miss his second straight game on Saturday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He continues to deal with a right ankle sprain, so it's unclear when he'll get back on the court. Cam Reddish and De'Andre Hunter should see plenty of minutes coming their way. Both players could be decent […]

Luka Doncic Listed As Questionable For Sunday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (quad) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game. He suffered a left quad contusion on Friday, but it doesn't sound like the injury is too serious. The Mavs have a back-to-back set starting on Sunday. It doesn't sound like Doncic should miss time, but fantasy managers should check back […]

Kyle Guy, Glenn Robinson III To Have Extended Role

Sacramento Kings forwards Kyle Guy and Glenn Robinson III are likely going to see more playing time going forward, according to head coach Luke Walton. Tyrese Haliburton (wrist) is going to be sidelined for an undetermined amount of time. Robinson had some 9-cat value last season, so he could be worth a look. Guy probably […]

Draymond Green Will Be Eased Back Into Action

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green will be eased back into the rotation. He made his season debut earlier this week and saw 18 minutes of playing time. Head coach Steve Kerr mentioned that they aren't going to rush Green back into starter minutes. Green didn't do much damage during his season debut and his […]

Josh Okogie Will Miss Fourth Straight Game

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Josh Okogie (hamstring) will miss his fourth game in a row on Sunday. He continues to deal with a lingering hamstring issue, so it's unclear when he'll get back on the court. Jarrett Culver and Anthony Edwards have seen more playing time in the absence of Okogie. Edwards is the better fantasy […]

Henry Ruggs III Value Rests In Dynasty Formats

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III has disappointed for most of the season after being selected in the first round. He does not have one game with more than three catches, and he had just three catches for 31 yards in a Week 10 matchup against the Broncos. While he does not have […]

James Harden A Late Scratch On Saturday

Houston Rockets guard James Harden (ankle) is a late scratch from Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He suffered a right ankle sprain during Thursday's game and will sit this one out. Eric Gordon will slide into the starting five and should see more shots coming his way. John Wall will see his usage and […]

Michael Pittman Jr. Best Suited In Dynasty Formats

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has shown flashes of greatness this year, making him valuable in dynasty league formats. However, he has not been consistent enough to warrant much starting consideration heading into the regular season finale. He has not posted more than 50 receiving yards nor has he hauled in a touchdown […]

Jonnu Smith A Top 10 Tight End Option In Week 17

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith hauled in his eighth receiving touchdown of the season last week, and Tennessee's top tight end will look to add to that career-high total in Week 17 against a Texans Defense that has allowed six touchdowns to tight ends this. It's a very exploitable matchup, but the game could […]

Corey Davis A Risky WR3 Play

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis is coming off his second goose egg of the season, but Davis has topped 100 yards in five of his 11 other games heading into a Week 17 road matchup with a Texans Defense that's tied for the second-most touchdowns allowed to wide receivers at 21. That is good […]

Eric Ebron Placed On Reserve/COVID-19 List

The Pittsburgh Steelers will be without their starting tight end against the Cleveland Browns in Week 17 as Eric Ebron was placed on the league's reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday. Ebron was deemed a close contact and will join cornerback Joe Haden and linebacker Cassius Marsh on the list as the team gears up for the […]

A.J. Brown A Top Option At Wide Receiver In Week 17

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown was held out of the end zone for only the third time in his last 12 games last week, but Tennessee's No. 1 receiver should rebound in Week 17 against a Texans secondary that he burned for two touchdowns back in Week 6. Brown is a must-start WR1 and […]

Hunter Renfrow Best Suited On Bench In Week 17

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow is probably best suited on the bench in Week 17 against the Broncos. He has gone for less than 50 yards in six of his last seven games and has not caught a touchdown since Week 8. In his first matchup against the Broncos, Renfrow caught just two […]

Derrick Henry Poised For Monster Game

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry leads the league with 1,777 rushing yards and is primed to add a substantial chunk to that total in Week 17 when the Titans take on a Houston defense that has allowed the most rushing yards (2,082) and rushing touchdowns (19) to running backs this season. It's an extremely […]
