Dillon Brooks is Available Off The Bench

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Dillon Brooks (foot) will be available off the bench for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Kyle Anderson is in the starting lineup, but his early struggles could mean more minutes for Brooks. However, it's unlikely that Brooks gets enough minutes to be valuable in fantasy leagues.

Wayne Ellington, Derrick Jones Will Play Saturday

Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (ankle) and forward Derrick Jones (foot) are both available for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Ellington will make his season debut, but Rodney McGruder has been playing well, so it'll be interesting to see how the minutes are distributed. Jones has been playing power forward this season, so […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (10/27/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

After a seven game Friday night slate, we have a solid nine game for Saturday night. All games will tip between 7:00 ET and 8:30 ET which is always nice as east-coasters don't have to wait all night to see the final results of the late-night games. In this article, I will be providing you […]

Dillon Brooks Listed as Probable on Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Dillon Brooks (foot) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was called doubtful for Wednesday's game and still played 14 minutes. Brooks will likely be limited again as he continues to deal with right foot soreness. Kyle Anderson should see more minutes, but he's been struggling this […]

Darius Miller Won't Play on Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Darius Miller (quad) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. Miller suffered a right quad contusion during Friday's contest. This isn't a huge blow to the Pelicans because Miller has not done much of anything all season. Wesley Johnson and Solomon Hill should see increased playing time […]

Wesley Matthews Scores 21 Points In Loss

Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Wesley Matthews scored the ball well but was noticeably quiet on the rest of the stat sheet in a loss to the Toronto Raptors on Friday night. Mathews finished the game with 21 points, on an efficient 9-for-16 shooting and nailed three three-points. But he added just one assist and one […]

Caris LeVert Scores 21 Points Against Pelicans

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert continued to score a lot of points and use a lot of possessions in Friday's loss to the Pelicans, scoring 21 points on 8-for-23 shooting and posting the team's highest usage rate. LeVert was just 1-for-6 from deep in this one while adding in six rebounds and four assists. The […]

Reggie Bullock is Probable Saturday

Detroit Pistons forward Reggie Bullock (shoulder) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. Bullock is dealing with a left shoulder sprain, but it does not appear to be serious. Luke Kennard (shoulder) is sidelined currently and Stanley Johnson has been awful. Bullock is going to see big minutes right now, but […]

Wayne Ellington is Probable on Saturday

Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This would be his season debut, assuming he doesn't suffer a setback before tip off. Ellington is going to have competition with Dwayne Wade and Rodney McGruder fighting for the same minutes. Ellington has some fantasy value, but mostly […]

Tyreke Evans Won't Play Saturday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Tyreke Evans (personal) won't play in Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Evans reportedly violated team rules by missing practice, so he'll be forced to sit out a game. Head coach Nate McMillan didn't offer many details about the situation. Darren Collison and Cory Joseph will see increased minutes and usage on […]

Danny Green Splashes Four Triples

Toronto Raptors shooting guard Danny Green found his stroke from three-point range against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday. He scored 15 points, on 4-for-8 shooting, including 4-for-7 from three-point range. Green added eight rebounds, one steal, and one block to fill out his stat line. It appears to be a big bounce-back season for Green, […]

Wesley Matthews Efficient From The Floor

Dallas Mavericks shooting guard/small forward Wesley Matthews was super-efficient from the floor as he connected on 9-for-15 shooting but was not able to add much else to his line in the loss. Matthews only was able to add one assist but was 3-for-8 for three on Friday in 32 minutes of action. This is the […]

Andre Iguodala Is Quiet Again

Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala did not provide much to his line in his 24 minutes of action, but his squad still managed the win over the New York Knicks on Friday. Iggy took just two shots and scored only two points while adding three rebounds with two assists and two steals off the […]

Stephen Curry Continues The Hot Hand

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry continued to shoot the ball at an elite level as he connected on 10-for-18 shooting from the floor to score 29 points as his club got the win over the New York Knicks. Curry added four rebounds with two assists and a steal in 33 minutes on Friday. Curry […]

Klay Thompson Continues To Struggle

Golden State Warriors shooting guard/small forward Klay Thompson continued to struggle as he went just 6-for-18 en route to 12 points in the win. Thompson managed to add four rebounds with three assists and a single steal in 34 minutes on Friday. Thompson has connected on just four of his 31 attempts from three to […]

Trey Burke Scores 15 Points In Bench Role

New York Knicks guard Trey Burke managed to score 15 points with a couple of rebounds and three makes from deep, but it was not enough as his club got the loss to the Golden State Warriors on Friday. Burke connected on 5-for-12 shooting and committed two turnovers in 22 minutes of action. Burke has […]

Mario Hezonja Plays Just 18 Minutes Off The Bench

New York Knicks forward Mario Hezonja managed just six points in his 18 minutes off the bench as the Knicks lost on Friday night. Hezonja added three rebounds with two assists and a single turnover on the night. Owners will not be pleased with his performance, especially as they would have hoped for an uptick […]

Frank Ntilikina Matches Career High With 17 Points

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina tied his career high of 17 points against the defending-champion Golden State Warriors on Friday. Ntilikina connected on six for 11 shooting and 3-for-7 from three but did not add much else as he grabbed just a single rebound with two assists in 26 minutes of action. Coach David […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Continues Great Start

New York Knicks shooting guard/small forward Tim Hardaway Jr. put up another solid line as he scored 24 points on 9-for-21 shooting, but it was not enough as his young squad fell apart in the fourth quarter to eventually lose to the Golden State Warriors. Hardaway added four makes from three with four assists and […]

Damyean Dotson Plays Well In The Start

New York Knicks shooting guard Damyean Dotson continued his excellent play, but it was not enough as the Knicks lost to the Golden State Warriors on Friday. Dotson shot 5-for-12 from the floor to score 12 points and hauled in seven rebounds while chipping in a steal with a couple makes from three in 30 […]

Devin Booker Out Against Grizz

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hamstring) will not play on Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Booker suffered the injury on Wednesday night against the Lakers and will be considered day-to-day moving forward. In his absence, expect more minutes for guard Jamal Crawford and guard/forward Josh Jackson.

Buddy Hield Finishes With 22 Points In Victory

Sacramento Kings shooting guard Buddy Hield ended up with 22 points across 36 minutes in Friday's 116-112 victory against the Washington Wizards. He also chipped in with five rebounds, two assists and a blocked shot with three turnovers while hitting 8-for-17 from the field. He also got into a minor altercation with Markieff Morris, too. […]

Tyreke Evans Out On Saturday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Tyreke Evans (suspension) will not play on Saturday against the Cavs. Evans, who arrived late to practice on Friday, will likely only serve a one-game sentence with his anticipated return coming on Monday against the Trail Blazers. In his stead, expect an uptick in minutes for guards Cory Joseph and Darren Collison.

Iman Shumpert Scoreless In His Return

Sacramento Kings shooting guard Iman Shumpert (hip) returned to action for Friday's 116-112 win against the Washington Wizards, although he was a non-factor. Shumpert ended up going scoreless across 17 minutes, misfiring on all four of his field-goal attempts, including a pair of treys. He was able to salvage the stat line somewhat with six […]

James Ennis Nursing Hamstring Strain

Houston Rockets swingman James Ennis (hamstring) will miss at least one more game after being diagnosed with a Grade 2 hamstring strain. He missed Friday's game with the Los Angeles Clippers, and he will be sidelined at least through the weekend before he is re-evaluated. For those in deeper weekly fantasy leagues, you'll probably want […]

Lou Williams Bounces Back In A Big Way

Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Lou Williams posted 23 points across 26 minutes off the bench in Friday's 133-113 win against the Houston Rockets. He was a very efficient 7-for-9 from the field, including 3-for-4 from behind the three-point, while going 6-for-6 from the charity stripe. He also chipped in with three assists and a […]

Iman Shumpert Remains Questionable on Friday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Iman Shumpert (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. He sat out on Wednesday after being listed as questionable for that contest as well. Justin Jackson could be looking at a bigger role in the rotation without Shumpert around. However, owners will likely have to wait until closer to […]

Bradley Beal is Questionable on Friday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (chest) did not go through shootaround and is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He took a hit to the chest on Wednesday, but the X-rays came back clean. Beal sitting out for shootaround is not a good sign. Austin Rivers and Kelly Oubre would be […]

Julius Randle is Probable for Friday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Julius Randle (foot) is probable for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He's been on the injury report a few times, but has not missed a game yet. Randle has plantar fasciitis which is an issue that has a tendency to linger. Rest is really the only way to heal this […]

Andrew Wiggins Sitting Out on Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Andrew Wiggins (thigh) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Both Wiggins and Jimmy Butler (illness) were listed as questionable heading into this one. Butler is starting, but Wiggins is not able to play just yet. Josh Okogie will draw the start for Wiggins on Friday.
