Allen Crabbe is Questionable Against 76ers

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Allen Crabbe (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He did not go through practice on Thursday, which is not a good sign. Joe Harris would be the best candidate to start, since it seems head coach Kenny Atkinson likes to put Caris LeVert and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson […]

Josh Richardson is Doubtful on Friday

Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson (foot) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He missed Wednesday's contest and that was his first absence of the season.

J.J. Barea Expected to Play Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea (rib) is expected to play on Friday versus the Toronto Raptors, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. He suffered the injury in Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

Austin Rivers Scores 20 Points In Loss To Rockets

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Austin Rivers scored 20 points in a 101-96 loss to the Rockets. He also notched three rebounds and a turnover for the game. Considering the Clippers will have an excellent playoff schedule down the stretch, Rivers will be a hot waiver wire pickup after this performance. The Clippers will have […]

Tyreke Evans Scores 25 Points In Return

Memphis Grizzlies guard Tyreke Evans (ribs) returned to action on Thursday night, scoring 25 points against the Chicago Bulls and looking great in his first game since Feb. 23.

Damian Lillard Has Rough Night Shooting Against Cavs

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard had a rough night against the Cavs on Thursday. Lillard scored 24 points on the night despite going only 7-for-20 from the field and 1-for-8 from downtown. He did make up for his shoddy shooting percentages by going a perfect 9-for-9 from the charity stripe in addition to dishing […]

Kyle Lowry Scores 13 Points in Indiana

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry had a decent outing on Thursday in Indiana, scoring 13 points against the Pacers and connecting on three treys in the contest, which happened to be his only makes in the game (3-for-10).

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/16/18): NBA DFS Lineups

There was a sizable slate last night, which leaves only a six game slate for tonight. That's kind of odd, as Friday is generally the "big day" for the NBA. March Madness is going on right now, though, so maybe the NBA does not want to compete for ratings. Regardless, we still have plenty of […]

Dennis Schroder Quiet In Fifth Straight Loss

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder scored 17 points to go with eight assists and a rebound in the Hawks' loss to the Hornets.

Evans was one of the […]

Goran Dragic Leads All Scorers With 33 Points

Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic dominated the Sacramento Kings defense Wednesday night, tying his season high with 33 points on 11-for-21 shooting. Dragic had no problem weaving through the paint but did not contribute much else on the stat sheet outside of points. Dragic remains a low-end scoring point guard who struggles with inconsistency, […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/15/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a nice slate of games for a Thursday, with many of them projected to run close, as well as be high-scoring. Not many significant injuries to work with, so your best bet will be to work on matchups, game pace and the over/under. In this article, I will be providing you with my […]

Devin Booker is Questionable Thursday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hand) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. He jammed his hand at practice on Wednesday, but it did not appear too significant at the time. Booker said he'll try to play against the Jazz on Thursday, but he will remain a risky fantasy option. The fact that […]

Andrew Harrison Ruled Out Against Bulls

Memphis Grizzlies guard Andrew Harrison (wrist) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He's missed seven straight games and will likely miss a few more games. Harrison was playing well before the injury, but that does not mean he should be owned in fantasy leagues. He doesn't appear that close to […]

Mario Chalmers is Doubtful on Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Mario Chalmers (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Chalmers has been sidelined for five straight games, but was recently re-evaluated. It sounds like he has not made much progress since he's still being listed as doubtful. Kobi Simmons is likely looking at another start with Briante […]

Tyreke Evans is Questionable for Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (rib) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Evans has missed 10 games in a row and Memphis has been ruling him out in advance. This is good news that he's actually listed as questionable, but fantasy owners should not get too excited. This could just be an […]

Eric Bledsoe Delivers on Both Ends

Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe was clicking on all cylinders Wednesday, scoring 20 points on 8-for-16 shooting from the field and 3-for-7 from downtown while recording eight assists and four steals in their loss to the Orlando Magic. The combo guard doesn't have to shoot so much in his first season with the Bucks because […]

Terry Rozier Fills Up Stat Sheet in Start

Boston Celtics point guard Terry Rozier had a nice full line on Wednesday. He benefited from extra minutes, as the Celtics were without Kyrie Irving and Marcus Smart in addition to the fact that the Celtics went to double overtime on Wednesday. Rozier racked up 21 points, nine assists, two steals and three blocks. Drawing […]

Kyle Kuzma Out Wednesday Night

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the Golden State Warriors. Kuzma is battling an injured ankle and won't be able to play through it. In his absence, Isaiah Thomas will move into the starting lineup with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope sliding to small forward. Thomas will likely take over most of […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/14/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a smaller four game NBA slate to get us through this hump day and there are some interesting options across the board. Not a ton of injuries as of right now, so lineup construction should be pretty straight forward, which could make it difficult to get some of the bigger name players into the same […]

Dwyane Wade Out on Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (hamstring) is listed as out for Wednesday's contest versus the Sacramento Kings. He was unable to suit up for Monday's game after straining his hamstring on Saturday. This information is from the game notes, so there is a small chance that Wade does play. Wayne Ellington, Tyler Johnson and Justise […]

Kyrie Irving Ruled Out Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Irving is not expected to play at all this week. Marcus Smart (thumb) and Jaylen Brown (concussion) will join Irving on the sideline for Wednesday's contest. Al Horford (illness) is questionable, so the Celtics could be very short-handed […]

Jrue Holiday Scores 25 Versus Charlotte

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Jrue Holiday had a really good game on Tuesday against the Hornets, getting 25 points on 11-for-21 shooting and providing nine assists in 39 minutes on the floor. He had combined for just 22 points in the previous two games, so we can say that he broke out of a […]

Rajon Rondo Dishes Out 17 Assists In Pelicans Win

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Rajon Rondo provided assists to everybody and their mother on Tuesday, as he finished the 119-115 win over Charlotte with 17 dimes.

Ben Simmons Pads Triple-Double Count in Loss

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons posted a triple-double in a tough loss on Tuesday against the Pacers. Despite the counting stats, he wasn’t incredibly effective on the offensive end.
