DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/14/21): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Thursday, Rotoballers! How about that James Harden trade? So many pieces flying all over the place, and it will affect tonight's games quite a bit. Harden is obviously in Brooklyn, but now Victor Oladipo is in Houston and Caris Levert in Indiana. I'm not sure of the COVID protocols with trades, but it's unlikely […]

Marcus Semien's Market Heating Up

The Philadelphia Phillies, Cincinnati Reds, Boston Red Sox and Oakland Athletics have all been involved in negotiations with free-agent shortstop Marcus Semien, according to team sources. More teams are likely interested due to Semien's versatility, athleticism and versatility, and his strong postseason also helped him. With Xander Bogaerts at shortstop, the Red Sox are likely […]

DH Decision Slowing Mets Pursuit Of George Springer?

A decision on whether the National League will have the designated hitter again in 2021 would allow the New York Mets to maximize their current roster and make further improvements, mainly with the decision whether to add free-agent outfielder George Springer. If the Mets add Springer or Jackie Bradley Jr. to play center field, Brandon […]

Brandon Clarke Has Productive Line In Wednesday's Win

Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke scored 19 points with nine rebounds, three assists, and three steals in a 118-107 win over the Timberwolves.

Phillies Have Shown Interest In Alex Colome

The Philadelphia Phillies have expressed interest in free-agent relief pitcher Alex Colome, but the Phillies would likely need his price to drop in order to have a shot. It didn't help when Liam Hendriks agreed to a $54 million multi-year deal with the White Sox on Monday. Colome will not return to Chicago after the […]

Jonas Valanciunas Has Monster Game Against Minnesota

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas played his best game of the season in a win over Minnesota. Valanciunas recorded his ninth double-double of the season, producing season-highs of 24 points and 16 rebounds. The 28-year-old checks in at fourth in the NBA in double-doubles, as he's been a strong paint presence for the Grizzlies. He'll […]

Cole Beasley Receives Praise For Toughness

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley (knee) received praise from quarterback Josh Allen and fellow wideout Stefon Diggs for playing through an injured knee in the wild-card win over the Colts in which he played 41 snaps and secured a team-high seven catches for 57 yards. "I do want to give a shoutout to Cole. […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Records Second Straight Double-Double

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns produced his second straight 25-point double-double in Wednesday's 118-107 loss to the Grizzlies. Towns' 14 rebounds were a season-high- and his perfect 8 of 8 shooting from the free-throw line was a nice category boost. The star big man has been a monster since returning from a left wrist injury, […]

Jerami Grant Stretches Great Scoring Streak To 10 Games

Detroit Pistons small forward Jerami Grant extended his run with 20-plus points to 10 games on Wednesday, finishing a 110-101 loss to Milwaukee with a team-high 22 points on 7-for-19 shooting. It wasn't an efficient performance from the field, but he went a nice 3-for-6 from three-point range and finished 5-for-6 with his free throws. […]

Mike Hoffman Will Not Play Wednesday

St. Louis Blues right wing Mike Hoffman will not make his debut on Wednesday night because of visa issues. The team expects him to be good to go for Friday's matchup with the Colorado Avalanche.

Jrue Holiday Scores 21 Points Wednesday Night

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday had one of his better offensive games of the season in Wednesday's win over Detroit, shooting 8-for-13 from the field en route to 21 points.

Wil Lutz A Solid Option In Divisional Round

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz is a solid fantasy option in Sunday's Divisional Round battle against the Buccaneers. Lutz missed a field goal from beyond 50 yards in last week's wild-card game, but he has overall been consistent throughout the 2020 season. The kicker finished the regular season by going 23-for-28 in field goals […]

Braden Holtby Set To Start Season Opener

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Braden Holtby will be between the pipes for Wednesday's game against the Edmonton Oilers. It will be Holtby's first appearance with his new team, after spending 10 years with the Washington Capitals. The 31-year-old posted a 25-14-6 record with an unflattering 3.11 goals-against average last season. Holtby is a bit of a […]

Saints Defense Carries Slight Risk This Week

The New Orleans Saints Defense is a slightly risky start this week against a Buccaneers squad that enters the contest firing on all cylinders. Ever since a 38-3 drubbing at the hands of these Saints in early November, Tampa has erupted offensively, scoring at least 24 points in the last eight games and at least […]

Kristaps Porzingis Finishes Season Debut With 16 Points

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Kristaps Porzingis finally made his season debut on Wednesday against the Hornets, and it was highlighted by four made triples. He shot 6-for-16 overall from the field to finish with 16 points, four rebounds and two blocks. It would've been nice if he could've grabbed a few more rebounds, but it was […]

Jared Cook Has Starting Value If He's Active

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook is dealing with a back injury and his status for this week's clash against the Buccaneers is unclear. Nevertheless, if the tight end can ultimately suit up, he does hold fantasy value. Dating back to the regular season, Cook has seen at least four targets and gotten at […]

Luka Doncic Leads Mavs To Victory With Near Triple-Double

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic filled his stat sheet once more in Wednesday's victory over Charlotte, notching a game-high 34 points with 13 rebounds, nine assists, a career-high four blocks, and two steals. He had a superb 5-for-9 performance from downtown and shot 14-or-25 overall from the field. Luka has been in beast mode […]

Emmanuel Sanders A Risky Play On Sunday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders is a risky play this week against the Bucs in the Divisional Round. In the wild-card game last week, the wideout managed only two receptions for three yards on three targets. Overall, Sanders has had a lackluster 2020 season in terms of production, as he has gone hot […]

Michael Thomas A WR1 In Divisional Round

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas pencils in as a solid WR1 this week against Tampa in the Divisional Round. Last week, Thomas put up five receptions for 73 yards and a score against a solid Bears secondary and looked much more like his All-Pro self from the 2019 season when he finished as […]

Alvin Kamara A Solid Play Despite Tough Matchup

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is a solid play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week in the Divisional Round. Kamara finished with 23 carries for 99 yards and a score last week against a tough Bears Defense and has been sensational for the most part during the 2020 season. In two games […]

Drew Brees A Low-End QB1 Against Buccaneers

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is a low-end QB1 against the Buccaneers this week in the Divisional Round. Brees was decent against the Bears in the wild-card game last week, tossing for 265 yards and two scores. Overall, the QB has been decent overall since returning from broken ribs and a lung injury in […]

Jason Kokrak Not The Best Option At Sony Open

Jason Kokrak has fell off a bit since his first career win in October at the CJ Cup. Since then, he has missed a couple cuts and has just one top-20 finish. Kokrak can gain strokes off the tee this week but has struggled in other areas of his game. He ranks 154th in strokes […]

Kevin Kisner A Risky Play At Sony Open

Kevin Kisner has played the Sony Open nine time over his career and has posted some inconsistent results. He has two T4 finishes and a T5 finish but has also missed three cuts and posted finishes of 69th and 84th. Kisner has a runner-up finish this season but has also missed two cuts. He is […]

Sungjae Im A Solid DFS Play At Sony Open

Sungjae Im is one of the most talented players in the field at the Sony Open this week and should be a good DFS play. In Im's last two starts, he finished T2 at the Masters and T5 last week at Sentry TC. This is his third career start at Waialae, and he has finishes […]
