Zach LaVine Won't Play in Back-to-Back Sets

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) will not play in back-to-back sets for the reminder of the season. The Bulls will continue to be cautious with LaVine as his knee recovers. This move also improves the chances of the Bulls landing a higher pick in the upcoming draft. The Bulls have four more back-to-back sets, […]

Eric Bledsoe is Probable for Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe (wrist) is probable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Head coach Joe Prunty is listing Bledsoe as probable, but he is technically a game-time call for Sunday. He's expected to be out there barring any setbacks during warmups. Owners should check back before tip-off, but Bledsoe is expected […]

Yogi Ferrell Shines in Loss to Jazz

Dallas Mavericks guard Yogi Ferrell provided a good spark off the bench in Saturday's loss to Utah, finishing with 13 points on 5-for-11 shooting, and even ending up leading the team with 35 minutes on the floor. Ferrell, who shot 3-for-6 from deep, also recorded five rebounds and four assists. He finished scoreless in the […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Awful Against Utah

Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. had a shocker against Utah on Saturday, finishing with just seven points and no assists with five turnovers. He missed all four attempts from deep and shot 2-for-11 overall. Smith Jr. has been really disappointing since the All-Star break, as he's combined for only 20 points in two […]

Andrew Harrison Scores Team-Leading 17 Points

Memphis Grizzlies guard Andrew Harrison ended up as the team's leading scorer in Saturday's 115-89 loss to Miami, finishing with 17 points on 7-for-13 shooting. Marc Gasol (rest) and Tyreke Evans (ribs) didn't play, which helped increase Harrison's usage rate and points tally. He also had six assists and four rebounds in 28 minutes of […]

J.J. Barea Leads Mavericks In Scoring Against Jazz

Dallas Mavericks point guard J.J. Barea led his team in scoring on Saturday night with 17 points, but it wasn't enough to get Dallas the victory over the Utah Jazz.

There are a few games today, but DraftKings broke them up into two different slates. This article will be focusing around the games at 8 PM, as that is seen as the "featured" slate on DraftKings. There will be limited options, so I'll be trying to find some values and top plays here. In this […]

Ben Simmons Hands Out Seven Assists in Win

Philadelphia 76ers point guard/forward Ben Simmons came through with another All-Star-caliber performance on Saturday, dropping 17 points on the Magic while shooting 7-for-11 from the field in the process.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/24/18): NBA DFS Lineups

There are a lot of solid options in the first weekend back after the horrendously long All-Star break. Due to a projected low-score and slow-pace, I am staying away from Miami/Memphis and Dallas/Utah games with OKC/Golden State and Portland/Phoenix being our highest-scoring and fastest-paced games of the day. In this article, I will be providing […]

C.J. McCollum Drops Game-High 26 Points

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard C.J. McCollum lit up the Utah Jazz in a win on Friday night. He dropped a game-high 26 points on an efficient 11-for-21 shooting. McCollum also added four three-pointers, three assists and two rebounds to round out his line. Nobody on the Jazz could contain McCollum, as he shredded the […]

Donovan Mitchell Drops 21 Points

Utah Jazz shooting guard Donovan Mitchell had a decent scoring game despite his team getting blown out by the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night. Mitchell scored 21 points, which included four three-pointers, and he added three rebounds and one steal. While the scoring was nice, Mitchell wasn't particularly efficient, making just eight of 20 […]

Ricky Rubio Struggles In Return From Injury

Utah Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio did not look good in his first game back from a hip injury on Friday night. He only scored four points to go along with four rebounds and two assists in just 19 minutes. It was an all-around terrible night for the Jazz offense, as they scored just 81 […]

De'Aaron Fox is Probable for Saturday

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (eye) is probable for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers with pink eye. He was listed as questionable earlier in the day but has been upgraded to probable. He is expected to be back in the starting lineup on Saturday without a minutes limit. He'll likely see plenty […]

Raul Neto Ruled Out Saturday

Utah Jazz point guard Raul Neto (ankle) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. This will be the second straight game that Neto has missed due to an injury at shootaround. We could also see the Jazz limiting Ricky Rubio in a back-to-back set. Royce O'Neale, Jae Crowder and possibly Alec […]

Shane Larkin is Questionable for Saturday

Boston Celtics point guard Shane Larkin (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. He has been sidelined since late January, but has been making progress lately. Larkin was able to return to full practice on Thursday, but his playing time is going to be limited. Marcus Smart (hand) and Terry Rozier […]

Tyreke Evans Ruled Out on Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (ribs) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He injured his rib in the fourth quarter of Friday's loss to Cleveland. Evans was clearly in pain and headed to the locker room and did not return to the contest. He will be kept out of the […]

Jrue Holiday Nearly Records Double-Double Against Miami

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday played a big role in his team's overtime win against Miami on Friday, scoring 29 points on 11-for -20 shooting and dishing out nine assists. Holiday also pulled down seven boards. Holiday actually ended the game with a nearly identical assist percentage as teammate and renowned passer Rajon Rondo--if […]

Ian Clark Has Huge Night Against Miami

New Orleans Pelicans guard Ian Clark played well off the bench on Friday against the Heat, finishing with 21 points on 9-for-11 shooting. Clark also contributed four rebounds, an assist, a block and a pair of steals. His offensive rating for the game was a mind-boggling 166. Clark has these nights on occasion, but they […]

Goran Dragic Flirts With Triple-Double

Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic came up huge on the stat sheet Friday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. Dragic posted 30 points on 12-for-22 shooting to go along with nine rebounds, eight assists, two three-pointers and one steal in the overtime loss. The Slovenian's first All-Star weekend seemed to treat him very well, […]

Devin Booker Provides 27 Points But Not Much Else

Phoenix Sun guard Devin Booker put up 27 points in a 128-117 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Booker did not add much else while putting up four assists, one rebound and two makes from deep on a not so efficient seven of 20 from the floor. With Elfrid Payton in town, we can expect […]

Elfrid Payton Continues his Excellent Play

Phoenix Suns guard Elfrid Payton continued his excellent play in a loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Payton finished with a solid line of 10 points, six dimes and four rebounds to go along with three steals while making five of 11 from the floor. Payton has been a stud since the Suns acquisition of […]

Kyle Lowry Struggles With Shot in First Game Back

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry had a tough time getting the ball in the bucket against Milwaukee, but still managed to come away with a decent point total, scoring 17 points on 4-for-12 shooting. Lowry knocked down three triples in the loss but helped out a lot with his assists, too, connecting with his […]

Dennis Schroder With Weak Performance

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder had a night to forget in his team's blowout loss to the Indiana Pacers. Schroder scored nine points on a dreadful 3-for-12 while adding two rebounds, two assists, a steal and four turnovers. His poor shooting and turnovers contributed heavily to his negative-21 plus/minus. He will look to bounce […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/23/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We're back to another huge Friday slate! We had six games last night to wet our whistles, but it's now time for a slate with double digit games. It seems as if most player's price tags dropped a bit from the All Star Break, which gives up a lot of good value, even if they […]

Russell Westbrook Nails Game-Winning Three Against The Kings

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook had ice in his veins against the Sacramento Kings, dropping the game-winning three-pointer. Although Westbrook didn't shoot the ball well most of the night, going just 4-for-14 from the field, he made up for it in other areas. He went for 17 points, 15 rebounds, 11 assists and […]

Lonzo Ball Will Play on Friday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball (knee) will play against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday. He will return with a minutes limit and will not play against the Sacramento Kings on Saturday due to rest. Head coach Luke Walton said he's not sure if Ball is going to start or come off the bench. […]

Ricky Rubio is Available on Friday

Utah Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio (hip) will be available to play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday. Rubio missed the final three games before the All-Star break. He was playing fantastic basketball before the hip injury, so hopefully he returns to similar form. He's averaging 20.7 points, 7.7 assists, 5.9 rebounds and 1.9 […]

Tyler Ulis is Questionable for Friday

Phoenix Suns point guard Tyler Ulis (back) is considered questionable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He did participate in shootaround, but still remains listed as questionable for this contest. Elfrid Payton is starting and playing well at point guard. The Suns still want Devin Booker to handle the ball at point guard […]

Avery Bradley Ruled Out on Friday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Avery Bradley (groin) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. "We are concerned," coach Doc Rivers said on Thursday. It sounds like this is going to be a lingering issue for Bradley and could cost him multiple games. Bradley will be sidelined for the second straight game […]

Marcus Smart is Expected to Play Friday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (thigh) is expected to play against the Detroit Pistons on Friday. Head coach Brad Stevens says he expects Smart to play after missing 11 games before the All-Star break. He missed those games due to a hand injury, but he's now dealing with a minor thigh issue. Smart has been […]
