FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (11/14/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

We have an 11-game slate tonight, with fantastic options at each position, so you will be looking to jam some of these studs in your lineups. We are a few games into the season and starting to see some good numbers when it comes to usage rate and fantasy points per minute. In this article, […]

Wesley Matthews is Probable on Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (hamstring) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Matthews was unable to suit up for Monday's contest against the Chicago Bulls. Dorian Finney-Smith would return to the bench and be irrelevant in fantasy basketball if Matthews returns on Wednesday.

Elfrid Payton Remains Questionable on Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) remains questionable for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Payton has missed the last eight games with an ankle issue. Most likely Payton would be dealing with a minutes limit, assuming he's able to play. Having a minutes limit would kill off any DFS value that Payton might've […]

Kyle Korver Ruled Out on Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Kyle Korver (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game. He didn't practice on Monday and missed Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. It's unclear how serious this issue is at the moment, but the Cavs are really banged up. Rodney Hood, J.R. Smith, and Jordan Clarkson will see more minutes in […]

Avery Bradley is Questionable Against Spurs

Los Angeles Clippers guard Avery Bradley (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Bradley has missed the last four games, but has a chance to return on Thursday. It's unclear if Bradley will be under a minutes limit, but Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has taken over the starting spot anyway. It's unlikely that […]

Gary Harris Gets Out Of Shooting Slump Against Rockets

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris was shooting under 30 percent from the field and from three over four games before Tuesday's loss to the Rockets, but Harris started to emerge from his cocoon, scoring 15 points on 6-for-13 shooting and hitting three of his six attempts from downtown. He had four steals as well. Harris […]

RotoBaller NBA Recap: Addition By Subtraction

We've all heard the phrase, "addition by subtraction" - a phrase which, by definition, is impossible to comprehend. I mean, how can you complete the process of adding something to something else while taking one number or amount away from another? It makes no sense. Unless, of course, you're the Cleveland Cavaliers, Houston Rockets, or Golden State […]

Nikola Vucevic, Evan Fournier Will Play on Wednesday

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic (soreness) and guard/forward Evan Fournier (soreness) will play in Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Head coach Steve Cifford said both players are dealing with minor injuries, but will play through them. The Magic have played seven games in 11 days, so it makes sense why some players are dealing […]

Markelle Fultz Heads to The Bench

Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz will come off the bench versus the Orlando Magic on Wednesday. The addition of Jimmy Butler might've killed off all hopes of Fultz returning to the starting lineup this season. J.J. Redick makes more sense with alongside Butler, so that's what head coach Brett Brown is going to use for […]

Jimmy Butler is Starting on Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jimmy Butler will make his Sixers debut on Wednesday versus the Orlando Magic. He'll join Ben Simmons, J.J. Redick, Wilson Chandler and Joel Embiid in the starting five. This is likely going to be the starting lineup that the Sixers continue to roll with for the foreseeable future. Butler is a safe […]

Emmanuel Mudiay Joins Starting Five on Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Emmanuel Mudiay will join the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Frank Nitlikina will head to the bench after logging in just six minutes last game. Head coach David Fizdale is shaking up his lineup, but that doesn't mean this is a long term move. Nitlikina should […]

Dario Saric, Robert Covington Will Play on Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves forwards Dario Saric and Robert Covington will make their debuts with the Wolves on Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Head coach Tom Thibodeau didn't say whether they would start or not. Taj Gibson could continue drawing starts until Saric is up to speed, but regardless Saric should see plenty of minutes. DFS […]

James Harden Records Double-Double Against Nuggets

It took a while for Houston Rockets guard James Harden to get his scoring going in Tuesday's win over the Nuggets, but by the end of the night he'd put up another strong performance. Harden scored 22 points on 7-for-16 shooting and added a team-high 11 assists. Last season's MVP also grabbed five rebounds to […]

Nicolas Batum Has 11 Points Against Cavs

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Nicolas Batum had 11 points on 5-for-12 shooting in Tuesday's 113-89 loss to Cleveland, finishing with 11 points. Three of his missed came from downtown. He also notched five rebounds and three assists. Batum used to be a very good fantasy asset, as he can fill it up in multiple categories, but […]

Jeremy Lamb Leads Hornets In Scoring Tuesday Night

Charlotte Hornets shooting guard Jeremy Lamb was the only guy on the team who enjoyed visiting Cleveland on Tuesday night, scoring a season-high 22 points in a 113-89 loss. He ended up leading the team in scoring, shooting 8-for-16 from the field and 1-for-4 from deep with a perfect 5-for-5 record from the line. Lamb […]

David Nwaba Does It All Off The Bench

Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard David Nwaba registered his best game of the season on Tuesday against the Hornets, scoring 18 points in 27 minutes off the bench with five rebounds, two assists, and one block. He made both of his attempts from deep and missed only two of his nine shots all night. Nwaba has […]

Rodney Hood Scores Efficient 16 Points Against Charlotte

Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Rodney Hood did some really good scoring on Tuesday against the Hornets, shooting 7-for-12 from the field and 2-for-3 from behind the arc on his way to 16 points in 29 minutes. He provided a pair of rebounds and assists as well. Hood has been up and down all year, but […]

J.R. Smith Logs Productive 39 Minutes On Tuesday

Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard J.R. Smith, who missed practice with an illness on Monday, was perfectly fine on Tuesday night against the Hornets, leading the team with a plus-26 rating and scoring 13 points with three triples in 39 minutes. He shot 3-for-7 from deep and 5-for-13 overall. Smith also recorded his fifth consecutive game […]

Jordan Clarkson Leads Cavs In Scoring Tuesday Night

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Jordan Clarkson had his first 20-plus point night of the season on Tuesday against the Hornets, scoring a game-high 24 points in a 113-89 win. He finished a lowly 1-for-4 from downtown but shot a solid 9-for-15 overall in 28 minutes off the bench. Clarkson also had five rebounds, two assists and […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (11/13/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

The league features only three games on Tuesday night and with Golden State playing their second of a back-to-back against the Hawks, be mindful that there is a good chance that they will clean up quick which could mean that Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson could sit out more than normal to get […]

Jeremy Lin (PG/SG, ATL) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's been seemingly a lifetime since "Linsanity" and it's also been a lengthy stretch of time since Jeremy Lin has seen considerable NBA court time (before his 13 games this season he had played just 37 games since 2016). From the surface, Lin's […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Plans to Play in Back-to-Back Sets

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic said that he plans to play in back-to-back games this weekend. He's been on a minutes limit, but has saw his playing time increase from 20 to 25 minutes on Monday. He wants to play in both games this weekend, but that doesn't mean the Kings are going to let […]

Gerald Green Ruled Out on Tuesday

Houston Rockets guard Gerald Green (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Green suffered a right ankle sprain on Saturday and was unable to play in Sunday's contests versus the Pacers. James Ennis and Eric Gordon should see additional playing time with Green sidelined.

J.R. Smith Will Play on Tuesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard J.R. Smith (illness) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He missed Monday's practice due to an illness, but has been removed from the injury report. Cedi Osman (back) and Kyle Korver (foot) will be sidelined for this game. Smith should see some extra playing […]

Caris LeVert Expected to Return This Season

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert (foot) suffered a horrifying foot/ankle injury during Monday's game. It was assumed by everyone that LeVert had suffered a season-ending injury after his foot/ankle was pointing the wrong way. However, LeVert has been diagnosed with a dislocated right foot that will not require surgery. This is still a major injury, […]

Courtney Lee is Progressing Well

New York Knicks guard Courtney Lee (neck) is progressing well after missing all of the preseason and hasn't played in the regular season yet. He begin running on the court this week, but is still without a timetable. However, Lee is only going to see limited minutes off the bench even when he's healthy. The […]

Kyle Korver is Out on Tuesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Kyle Korver (foot) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He was not able to practice on Monday as Korver continues to deal with right foot soreness. Jordan Clarkson and Rodney Hood will likely be forced into heavy minutes and could make interesting DFS options.

Luke Kennard Will Miss At Least Two More Weeks

Detroit Pistons guard Luke Kennard (shoulder) will miss at least two more weeks. The team's medical staff announced they were pleased with how his shoulder is responding, but he's not quite ready yet. Glenn Robinson III, Stanley Johnson, Reggie Bullock, and Langston Galloway will continue seeing increased roles in Kennard's absence.

Bradley Beal Tops 20 Points Again

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal filled the stat sheet with 21 points, eight rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block in Monday's win over the Magic. He made just eight of 20 shots from the field as he continued to struggle from long distance. The 25-year-old missed eight of his 10 three-pointers versus […]
