Fred VanVleet Plays Another Scrappy Game on Tuesday

Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet played a strong 27 minutes on Tuesday against the Nets, scoring 15 points in that span while shooting 5-for-10 from the field, with three makes coming from deep in the win. VanVleet was helpful in most areas in this one, posting one rebound, four assists and two steals on […]

Delon Wright Logs 16 Minutes Off the Bench

Toronto Raptors guard Delon Wright played well down the stretch for the Raps in their win over the Nets, scoring 10 points on 4-for-6 shooting, with two makes from downtown in the contest. Wright added three rebounds, four assists and a steal in this one, but also turned over the ball three times in his […]

D'Angelo Russell Comes Out Firing

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell opened the game up with seven straight triples but shot three of 15 the rest of the way. In the loss, Russell totaled 32 points, seven rebounds, a steal, two blocks and four turnovers. Somehow he didn't manage to record an assist, which was probably because of how red-hot he […]

Dennis Schroder Returns To Action

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder returned to the starting lineup on Tuesday and didn't play great in the team's 12-point loss. Schroder shot 6-for-16 for 18 points with eight assists, two rebounds and only one turnover. In his return, he played quite average, shooting inefficiently and not recording any steals or blocks. The Hawks […]

Stephen Curry Will Miss Next Four Games

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (ankle) has been ruled out for the next four games. Curry has been battling a tweaked right ankle for the past few days and the Warriors have no incentive to push their star point guard with a playoff berth almost locked up. In Curry's absence, Quinn Cook will […]

Damian Lillard Continues Hot Streak

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard was unstoppable as he helped the Trail Blazers win their 10th straight game on Monday. He scored a game-high 32 points, which included seven three-pointers, and he also shot a pristine 9-for-10 from the charity stripe. Lillard wasn't just scoring in this game, though, as he added 10 […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/13/18): NBA DFS Lineups

There are plenty of games tonight and the value is there but scarce. With the amount of superstars playing you are going to need to pay up in the right places. The Suns-Cavaliers and Nuggets-Lakers are the games to stack and the points will be flying around in both games. Other than that, look for […]

Dennis Schroder is Probable on Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder (elbow) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was a late stratch from Sunday's contest. Isaiah Taylor earned the start on Sunday but will head back to the bench for Tuesday's game. Kent Bazemore (knee) won't play again this season, which means Schroder should see […]

Dejounte Murray's Struggles Continue

San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray was a team-worst minus-22 in Monday's 109-93 loss to the Houston Rockets, finishing with just seven points in 20 minutes. Head coach Gregg Popovich even took one timeout to specifically yell at Murray, which pretty much tells you everything about his performance. After failing to be in double […]

Brandon Jennings is Back

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Brandon Jennings was magnificent in his return to the Association after signing a 10-day contract. He narrowly missed a triple-double with 16 points on 5-for-9 shooting from the field with eight rebounds and 12 assists in 24 minutes of action. The timing couldn't have come at a better time, as Jennings […]

Eric Bledsoe Scores 14 Points In Blowout Win

Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe quietly had an effective game, scoring 14 points on 6-for-13 shooting from the field, 2-for-4 from deep, six rebounds and five assists in their win over the lottery-bound Memphis Grizzlies. He only played 24 minutes due to foul trouble but still managed to put up a very decent stat line. […]

De'Aaron Fox With a Double-Double

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox put up a double-double against the Oklahoma City Thunder in a 106-101 loss. Fox had 12 points and 10 assists but struggled from the floor, only making four of 12 shots but added a steal and a block with only two turnovers. Fox seems to be passed his back […]

Jeff Teague Records Double-Double In Win

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague did a good job of facilitating the offense on Sunday in a win over the Golden State Warriors. He scored 10 points on 3-for-8 shooting and went a solid 4-for-5 from the charity stripe. Teague also added 10 assists, three rebounds and two steals in 35 minutes. Teague has […]

James Harden Will Play on Monday

Houston Rockets guard James Harden (knee) will play against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday. He did not play in Sunday's contest against the Dallas Mavericks due to rest. It was a precautionary absence due to the back-to-back set, but Harden will be fine for Monday's contest. Eric Gordon stepped into the starting rotation for […]

Kyrie Irving Could Miss Games This Week

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (knee) could miss a few games this week. He said after Sunday's game that his knee felt "achy" and he could need some time to rest up. Boston is up seven games on the Cavs for the No. 2 seed, so there is no urgency to have Irving on the […]

Dwyane Wade Ruled Out Monday

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It's unclear when Wade suffered this injury, but he did only play 15 minutes in his last contest on Saturday. Hamstring injuries have a tendency to linger, so fantasy owners may not want to hold onto Wade […]

D'Angelo Russell Drops 26 Points In Loss

Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell had another strong scoring output in an inter-divisional loss to the Process known as the Philadelphia 76ers. Russell poured in a team-high 26 points in the loss. Russell’s scoring has really shot up this season when healthy, and his potential has been on full display under head coach Kenny […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/12/18): NBA DFS Lineups

There are not many games tonight and there is less value. Your best chance of coming away with some cash is to take your chance on one sleeper pick, while taking safer mid-level priced options. It isn't the prettiest slate of games from a DFS standpoint, especially with most of the teams playing Monday night […]

Chris Paul Leads The Charge Against Dallas

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul picked up his second double-double in three games on Sunday, leading the charge against Dallas with James Harden (knee) out. Paul had 24 points on 9-for-18 shooting, going 4-for-7 from deep, and came up just two short of matching his season high in assists, finishing with 12 dimes. He […]

Darren Collison Has 10 Assists Off the Bench

Indiana Pacers point guard Darren Collison is quickly making strides in his timely return from left knee surgery, dishing out 10 assists and turning it over only three times in the thrilling win over the Boston Celtics, placing them first in the Central Division. He did not look for his shot Sunday, evidenced by his two […]

Jordan Clarkson Could Not Buy A Bucket

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Jordan Clarkson was quiet in his return to Los Angeles after being traded, managing just four points on a dismal 1-for-8 shooting from the field in the loss against his former team. He did have four assists but failed to contribute much elsewhere in 16 minutes of uninspired play. Even veteran point […]

Kyrie Irving Doesn't Return for Second Half

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving couldn’t finish the game Sunday as his knee was flaring up. He didn’t return to the court for the second half and played just 16 minutes and scored seven points. Irving conceded his role to Terry Rozier at the start of the third quarter. Rozier represents the immediate beneficiary […]

Terry Rozier Fills in for Ailing Kyrie Irving

Boston Celtics point guard Terry Rozier stepped in and started the second half as Kyrie Irving couldn’t return to play. Rozier finished with 16 points but his 5-for-13 shooting and lack of other scoring options contributed to the Celtics loss on Sunday. He rounded out his stat line with four rebounds, two assists and two […]

Marcus Smart Hits 6-for-12 from Deep

Boston Celtics point guard Marcus Smart got it going in the first quarter and didn’t slow down as he took the reins with Kyrie Irving going down in the first half. All six of Smart’s six buckets came from deep, which came on 12 attempts and 13 total. He also contributed across the board with […]

Jrue Holiday Records Double-Double Against Jazz

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday recorded a double-double on Sunday, but the Pelicans couldn't pull out a win against the Utah Jazz. Holiday scored 18 points on 7-for-19 shooting and added 10 assists, plus five rebounds. Holiday had struggled during Anthony Davis' one-game absence, but the return of the Pelicans star helped Holiday out, […]

Ricky Rubio Has An Outstanding Performance

Utah Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio played extremely well Sunday versus the New Orleans Pelicans. Rubio scored 30 points, going 10-for-22 from the field, with four of those made shots coming from three-point range. Also in Sunday's outing, Rubio recorded 10 boards and seven assists. In the last seven games including Sunday, Rubio has been […]

James Harden Unlikely to Play Sunday

Houston Rockets guard James Harden (knee) is unlikely to suit up for Sunday's game against the Dallas Mavericks, according to Tim MacMahon. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so the Rockets probably do not need Harden to beat a struggling Mavs team. This is not likely anything serious, but the Rockets want to […]

De'Aaron Fox is Questionable on Sunday

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (back) is questionable to play against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday. He missed Friday's game due to a back issue but was energetic on the bench. This looks like just a minor issue for Fox, but the Kings are tanking, so they can afford to be cautious. Fantasy owners […]

Dennis Schroder is Questionable Against Bulls

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder (elbow) is questionable to play against the Chicago Bulls on Sunday. The Hawks can afford to be cautious with Schroder since they do not have much incentive to win. Both teams are tanking for draft positioning, so it would not be surprising if the Hawks decide to have Schroder […]

Dennis Smith Jr. is Expected to Play Sunday

Dallas Mavericks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (knee) is expected to return on Sunday versus the Houston Rockets. The Mavs do not want Smith playing in back-to-back sets, so they held him out on Saturday against the struggling Grizzlies. Both J.J. Barea and Yogi Ferrell saw increased playing time and more opportunities without DSJ on the […]
