Dennis Smith Jr. Breaks Out With a 25-Point Game

Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. finally had a good shooting day in Friday's loss to Chicago, as he scored an efficient 25 points. Smith Jr., who hadn't shot 50 percent for well over a month, went 9-for-17 from the floor, including 2-for-3 from deep. His stat sheet was pretty empty otherwise, but it […]

Elfrid Payton Flirts With Triple-Double

Phoenix Suns guard Elfrid Payton posted another full line by nearly notching a triple-double in a 124-116 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/2/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We're back to a larger Friday slate, as the NBA features double digit games tonight. After a smaller slate last night, we can expect some big DraftKings contests. There are a few players that are still a bit mispriced tonight, and those are the players we're going to attack. In this article, I will be […]

Andrew Harrison is Questionable on Friday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Andrew Harrison (wrist) is questionable for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He is coming off a 20-point game on Wednesday. Having Tyreke Evans (rib) and Mike Conley (heel) sidelined has given Harrison a huge opportunity to make some noise with the first unit. Mario Chalmers and Kobi Simmons would see additional […]

Shaun Livingston Ruled Out Versus Hawks

Golden State Warriors guard Shaun Livingston (rest) will not play against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday. Livingston is averaging 5.1 points and 1.9 assists in 15.4 minutes per game this season. This has minimal fantasy impact, but will mean more minutes for Nick Young off the bench. Kevin Durant may be asked to facilitate the […]

C.J. McCollum's Shooting Struggles Continue

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard C.J. McCollum can't seem to find the mark recently, as he struggled with his shot again on Thursday night. He scored 19 points but shot just 7-for-18 from the floor and 2-for-3 from the foul line. However, he did chip in four rebounds, three three-pointers, one steal and one block […]

Damian Lillard Stays Hot In Win Over The Timberwolves

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard refuses to cool down, as he had another big-time scoring night in a win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. He scored 35 points on 9-for-22 shooting and made a whopping 13 of 16 free throw attempts. Lillard supplemented his line with seven rebounds, four assists and four three-pointers. Lillard […]

Darren Collison Ruled Out Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Darren Collison (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. There was a small chance that Collison returned during this road trip, but that does not look like it's going to happen. Cory Joseph and Joseph Young will continue to split up the duties at the point guard […]

D'Angelo Russell Gets Double-Double in Loss

Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell joined the double-double party in Sacramento as the Nets had three starters accomplish the feat. Russell acquired his with 15 points and 11 rebounds in what was yet another strong game for the budding future of the franchise. Russell has finally shaken off the rust that came from the […]

De'Aaron Fox Puts up 21 Points

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox helped lead his squad to an overtime victory over the Brooklyn Nets. Fox poured in 21 points and added a full line of two rebounds, two steals and three block on a super efficient 10 of 17 from the floor. The rookie did only have one assist on the night […]

George Hill Struggles With Shot

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard/shooting guard George Hill continued to be inconsistent on the offensive end, managing just seven points on 3-for-10 shooting from the field and failed to connect on a three-pointer in the disappointing loss against the Brooklyn Nets. He only saw 22 minutes of action Thursday and was outplayed by spark-plug teammate Jordan Clarkson. […]

Ben Simmons Almost Notches Another Triple-Double

Philadelphia 76ers point guard/forward Ben Simmons was everywhere on Thursday, scoring 18 points on the Cavs while shooting 8-for-14 from the field on the night. Simmons flirted with a triple-double in the satisfying win, accumulating nine boards and eight assists through four quarters. He was an effective defender in this one as well, coming away […]

Brandon Ingram Posts All-Around Line Before Groin Injury

Los Angeles Lakers forward Brandon Ingram (groin) was superb yet again on Thursday, scoring 19 points on eight of 14 shooting from the field. Ingram would add five boards, five assists, one steal, one three-pointer and a block before exiting the game late in the second half against the Heat. Ingram has come a long way, […]

Isaiah Thomas Busts Out With 29 Points

Los Angeles Lakers guard Isaiah Thomas got it going in a 131-113 win over the Heat on Thursday, dropping a season-high 29 points to go along with six assists and six three-pointers. Thomas has been quiet for most of the season, where he is still not showing the speed and level of confidence he displayed […]

Lonzo Ball Swipes Six Steals In Start

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball returned to the starting lineup and had himself quite a line, putting up eight points, six boards, seven assists and a career-high six steals. The prized rookie was eased back into action after missing 15 games earlier in 2018 and while he isn't going to give you many […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/1/18): NBA DFS Lineups

It's Thursday and the league will feature a four game slate filled with some decent games. If you factor in the limited amount of options, there isn't much room for error. Due to the slow projected pace of the Minnesota/Portland game, I am omitting anyone from that matchup. In this article, I will be providing you with […]

Tyler Johnson Ruled Out Against Lakers

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Johnson and Wayne Ellington (quadriceps) will be sidelined for this contest but are considered day-to-day. Goran Dragic and Josh Richardson are going to see heavy minutes on Thursday. Dwyane Wade will likely be busy off the bench […]

Lonzo Ball Will Start Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball will start against the Miami Heat on Thursday. Josh Hart (wrist) is out, so it's not too surprising Ball will move back into the starting lineup. Head coach Luke Walton said Ball "looked good" at practice and his minutes restrictions have been lifted to 30. He's averaging 11.0 […]

Avery Bradley Could Miss Rest of The Season

Los Angeles Clippers guard Avery Bradley (groin) could miss the rest of the season. "Right now, we're just taking it day by day, trying to be smart about this injury," Bradley said. Head coach Doc Rivers recently said Bradley may need to have offseason surgery. Bradley has missed four straight games and it's looking like […]

Dejounte Murray Fills Stat Sheet in Spurs Loss

San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray had his best scoring output since January 23 on Wednesday against the Pelicans, going for 18 points on 8-for-15 shooting. He also had nine rebounds, five assists, one steal and a block in 31 minutes on the floor. Murray had a solid month, averaging 12.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, […]

Patty Mills Leads Spurs in Minutes on Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs point guard Patty Mills has worked his way into the starting lineup recently, and his minutes are on the rise. After clocking 33 and 35 minutes in the previous two games, Mills was on the floor for 37 minutes on Wednesday, finishing with 11 points on 4-for-10 shooting. The Aussie had a […]

Rajon Rondo Just Misses a Triple-Double

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Rajon Rondo had his third straight game with 12 assists on Wednesday and just missed a triple-double, as he scored 13 points on 6-for-14 shooting and grabbed eight rebounds. Rondo had committed 11 turnovers in the last two games but picked up just one this time in what was the […]

Jrue Holiday Scores 25 Points In Pelicans Win

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Jrue Holiday had a tough matchup on Wednesday to keep his streak of games with at least 20 points going, but he managed to deliver, dropping 25 points on the Spurs. Holiday shot the ball really well, going 11-for-18 from the field (61.1 percent), including 2-for-5 (40 percent) from behind […]

Devin Booker Stays Hot With 34 Points

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker kept it rolling with 34 points against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Elfrid Payton Records Double-Double in Win

Phoenix Suns guard Elfrid Payton continued his excellent play since arriving in Phoenix in a 110-102 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Payton filled it up once again with 19 points and 10 assists to go along with four rebounds and one make from deep. Payton did cough the ball up six times and has averaged […]

Dennis Schroder Grabs Five Steals in Win

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder scrapped together a mediocre game in his team's close win over the Pacers. On 4-for-13 shooting, Schroder added 14 points to go with three rebounds, five assists, five steals and three turnovers. The five steals really saved this game, as he usually averages only one a game. Next, he […]

Malcolm Delaney Available To Play Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Malcolm Delaney (knee) will be available Wednesday night against the Indiana Pacers after being a game-time decision with a knee injury. Delaney will likely resume his usual 20-minute role off the bench backing up point guard Dennis Schroder, while guard Isaiah Taylor will lose minutes in the second unit. However, neither Delaney nor […]

Malcolm Delaney is Questionable on Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Malcolm Delaney (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Head coach Mike Budenholzer wants Delaney to go through his pre-game routine, so he's likely headed towards a game-time decision. Owners will have to wait until pregame for official confirmation on his status. He's missed two straight games but does […]
