FanDuel NBA DFS Picks for Today (Wednesday 12/11/24): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

The quarterfinals of the in-season tournament continue tonight with two more matchups. The Knicks host the Hawks in the Eastern Conference, while the Warriors face a very good Houston team in the Western Conference. I recommend some higher-priced players for cash games and GPPs in today's edition while highlighting some of my favorite value plays […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic In Danger Of Missing Another Game

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (quadriceps) has a questionable designation on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's NBA Cup quarterfinal against the Knicks. A quadriceps contusion might keep Bogdanovic off the court for the second straight game. Garrison Mathews and Vit Krejci get extra work with Bogdanovic out, but neither was productive in Sunday's heavy […]

Josh Hart Iffy For Wednesday's Cup Game

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (ankle) is considered questionable for Wednesday's NBA Cup quarterfinal against Atlanta. He might miss his first game of the season because of an ankle sprain. New York's bench mob, featuring Miles McBride, Cameron Payne, and Precious Achiuwa, will likely be more involved in the game if Hart doesn't get […]

Jaden Hardy Misses Second Straight Game

Dallas Mavericks guard Jaden Hardy (ankle) will be out of the lineup for a second straight game on Tuesday versus Oklahoma City. The 22-year-old is nursing a right ankle sprain. Hardy hasn't played a consistent role in the Mavericks rotation, and his absence will not have a big impact on Tuesday. Spencer Dinwiddie and Quentin […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Picks for Today (Tuesday 12/10/24): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

I’m excited to share my very first article here at RotoBaller! My name is CeeGee, and I’ve been immersed in the world of Daily Fantasy Sports for over a decade. During that time, I’ve had the opportunity to write DFS content for several top sites across the industry, always with a focus on delivering actionable, […]

Immanuel Quickley To Get Additional Testing

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (elbow) is scheduled to get more imaging done next week. It has been a month since Quickley went down with a partial torn UCL in his left elbow. The team hasn't given a timetable for his return, but there should be more information after the additional imaging is done. That […]

Gary Harris Will Remain Sidelined Tuesday

Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (hamstring) is on his way to missing his eighth consecutive game after being ruled out for the NBA Cup quarterfinal matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. Now that Franz Wagner (oblique) has hit the injury report along with Paolo Banchero (oblique) and Harris, Cole Anthony gets a bigger crack at the […]

Bruce Brown Remains Sidelined Against Knicks

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown (conditioning) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the New York Knicks, so his season debut remains on hold. The team has listed him with return to competition reconditioning, and there isn't a firm timetable for his return yet. He last played in the regular season finale last year. […]

Cameron Payne Tagged As Questionable On Monday

New York Knicks guard Cameron Payne (elbow) is listed as questionable heading into Monday night's matchup against the Toronto Raptors. He's dealing with a left elbow issue which has caused him to miss the team's last two games. Over his last 12 games, he was seeing around 18 minutes per contest while averaging 9.3 points, […]

Austin Reaves Remains On The Shelf Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (pelvis) will miss a fifth straight game on Sunday versus Portland. He was initially regarded as doubtful for the contest before eventually getting ruled out. D'Angelo Russell and Gabe Vincent have shared starts while Reaves has been on the shelf. Russell offers the most fantasy value out of the […]

Moses Moody Available Sunday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Moses Moody (knee) will be in the lineup on Sunday against Minnesota. Moody was forced to make an early exit against the Timberwolves on Friday, logging only seven minutes, but he won't miss any additional time. The 22-year-old will provide Golden State with a valuable option off the bench that could […]

Kris Dunn Active Versus Rockets

Los Angeles Clippers guard Kris Dunn (illness) has received the green light to play in Sunday's contest against Houston. His status was initially up in the air as Dunn has been battling an illness. The 30-year-old has worked as a starter for the Clippers this season, though his productivity has been limited. Dunn has produced […]

James Harden Sits Out Sunday's Game

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (groin) will not play against Houston on Sunday. He's been ruled out for the game after Harden was initially handed a questionable tag. This will be the first absence of the season for Harden, who's been back in MVP form recently. Kevin Porter Jr. and Bones Hyland figure to […]

Desmond Bane Unavailable Versus Wizards

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Desmond Bane (toe) will not play on Sunday against Washington. A sore toe will end a spell of 12 consecutive appearances for Bane, who's had a quiet campaign in 2024-25. Ja Morant (back) also won't play on Sunday, allowing players like Scotty Pippen Jr., Marcus Smart, and Jaylen Wells to step into […]

Julian Strawther Good To Go Sunday

Denver Nuggets shooting guard Julian Strawther (wrist, ankle) has been cleared to play on Sunday against Atlanta. He's dealing with a couple of different ailments at the moment, but the team has upgraded Strawther from probable to available. The 22-year-old has just logged a season-high 33 minutes in Saturday's matchup against Washington, and Strawther should […]

Christian Braun Active Versus Hawks

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun (quadriceps) will play on Sunday against Atlanta. The team has upgraded him from probable to available. Braun carries a quadriceps injury, but it hasn't impacted his performances. In Saturday's 122-113 loss to Washington, Braun recorded 14 points with 7-for-14 shooting in 38 minutes, adding a pair of rebounds, an assist, […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Out On Sunday

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (quadriceps) will not be in the lineup on Sunday against Denver. The veteran scorer has been limited to 10 outings this season and will miss another game on Sunday. Atlanta also won't have the services of Jalen Johnson (shoulder), so the game will be extra demanding offensively for the rest […]

Pelle Larsson Sits Out Second Consecutive Game

Miami Heat shooting guard Pelle Larsson (ankle) will remain out on Sunday versus Cleveland. He continues to nurse an ankle sprain that Larsson sustained in Friday's practice. With Larsson out of commission, Dru Smith saw additional action on Saturday versus Phoenix, logging 29 minutes off the bench. Smith did a little bit of everything for […]

Desmond Bane Could Sit Out On Sunday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (toe) is currently considered as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Washington Wizards. Both Bane and fellow guard Ja Morant (back) land on the injury report after playing in Saturday's game. Possibly, the Grizzlies are trying to be cautious here given both players have been banged up recently. Bane […]

Derrick White Good To Go Saturday

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (foot) will take the court on Saturday against Memphis. He has been upgraded from probable to available. White is dealing with a right foot sprain but is good to go as Boston closes out a back-to-back. He's likely delighted to quickly get a new opportunity to play, as White had […]

Pelle Larsson Sits Out Saturday's Game

Miami Heat shooting guard Pelle Larsson (ankle) will not play against Phoenix on Saturday. He sprained his right ankle in Friday's practice and will come out of the lineup after enjoying a good stretch of games in the rotation. The rookie from Sweden has logged 15-plus minutes in six of the last seven contests. Jaime […]

Jaden Hardy Ruled Out For Saturday

Dallas Mavericks guard Jaden Hardy (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Raptors. His next opportunity to return will be Tuesday against the Thunder. Hardy's playing time often fluctuates based on the health of the Mavericks' roster, but he's shown the ability to score in bursts, as evidenced by his 13 points […]

Christian Braun Active On Saturday

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun (quadriceps) has been upgraded from probable to available ahead of tip-off against Washington on Saturday. A right quadriceps contusion isn't enough to keep Braun off the court. On Saturday, he also gets an opportunity to play a larger role, as two of Denver's starters -- Jamal Murray (hamstring) and Aaron […]

Gary Payton II Active On Friday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Gary Payton II (knee) has received the green light to play on Friday against Minnesota. He has been upgraded from probable to available ahead of tip-off. The defensive specialist will play despite dealing with knee inflammation. The 32-year-old has been limited to 12.5 minutes per game this season, averaging 4.7 points, […]

Jaden Hardy Unlikely To Play On Saturday

Dallas Mavericks guard Jaden Hardy (ankle) has been listed as doubtful on the injury report ahead of Saturday's encounter with Toronto. Hardy is battling a right ankle sprain and has logged only 10 total minutes across the previous two games. His role has been minuscule lately, so the Mavericks' rotation won't change much without Hardy […]

Marcus Smart Uncertain For Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. Smart reportedly sprained his right ankle during the Grizzlies' game against the Kings, and his availability for Saturday's contest is now in doubt. If Smart is unable to play, Scotty Pippen Jr. and Jake LaRavia could see an […]

Andrew Nembhard Active Versus Bulls

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (knee) will play against Chicago on Friday. He's back in the lineup after missing Wednesday's loss to Brooklyn. Nembhard only recently returned from a 12-game absence and has been far from his best in the couple of outings he's had. Fantasy managers should tame their expectations regarding Nembhard. Quenton Jackson […]

Devin Vassell Sits Out Friday's Game

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (foot) will exit the lineup on Friday against Sacramento. This is the second leg of a back-to-back for the Spurs, and Vassell will be rested for the contest as he continues to manage a right foot injury. Vassell has been used as a microwave scorer off the bench this […]

Khris Middleton Officially Active On Friday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is officially good to go for his season debut on Friday versus Boston. The team has upgraded him from probable to available. He will come off the bench in his first game since May. It will likely take some time before Middleton is fully up to speed, so fantasy […]

Josh Giddey To Suit Up On Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (foot) is active ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Giddey appears ready to play after being a late addition to the injury report due to right foot soreness. Giddey was quiet on Wednesday, but finished with a triple-double during Monday's contest. The 22-year-old is averaging 11.9 points, 6.2 […]
