Nicolas Batum is Doubtful for Thursday

Jonathon Simmons Ruled Out on Thursday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Jonathon Simmons (wrist) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Simmons is a drop candidate in […]

Tyreke Evans Will Play on Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (rest) will play against the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday. He missed Wednesday's contest due to rest, but will be back in action for the second game of the back-to-back set. Memphis is tanking for draft positioning, so it's unclear how often Evans will play. The Grizzlies do not have any […]

J.J. Redick Pours In 15 Points In 18 Minutes Against Memphis

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard J.J. Redick played a season-low 18 minutes on Wednesday against Memphis, but actually didn't even need more time on the court to do some damage, as he had 15 points on 5-for-9 shooting with three triples. He also sank both of his free throw attempts. Redick is hitting exactly 50 percent […]

Tyler Johnson Scores Team-High 22

Miami Heat point guard/shooting guard Tyler Johnson was efficient from the field on Wednesday night. He scored 22 points on 9-for-13 shooting while also hitting 4-of-6 from deep. At this point in the season, Johnson isn’t a must hold, nor should you be running to grab him, as his value can likely be found on […]

Austin Rivers Heats Up Late

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Austin Rivers started off slow on Wednesday against the Bucks, but had a very strong finish to his game in the win over Milwaukee. Rivers filled up the stat sheet in this one, producing in every category across the board in his game-high 38 minutes. He drained five three-pointers on his […]

Fred VanVleet Will Play Wednesday, C.J. Miles Will Sit

The Toronto Raptors will have guard Fred VanVleet (hand) return to the lineup Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but will not have C.J. Miles (illness) available.

Jrue Holiday Set To Return Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (illness) will return to the starting lineup Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/21/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We have an eight game slate and there are some interesting options across the board. Not a ton of injuries as of right now, so lineup construction should be pretty straight forward, which could make it difficult to get some of the bigger name players into the same lineup. In this article, I will be providing […]

Nicolas Batum Doubtful on Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Nicolas Batum (Achilles) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. An MRI revealed Batum is dealing with chronic tendinitis in his left Achilles.

Zach LaVine Won't Play on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This will mark LaVine's third straight game on the sidelines. He was struggling before the injury and is someone worth dropping in most leagues right now. The Bulls are tanking, so they can afford to wait until LaVine […]

Jrue Holiday is Questionable on Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (illness) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He missed Tuesday's game versus the Mavs due to illness, which led to DeAndre Liggins and Ian Clark seeing more playing time. Anthony Davis' usage rate spikes when Holiday is not on the court. He'll be […]

Larry Nance Jr. Ruled Out on Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (hamstring) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors.

Dwyane Wade Ruled Out Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (hamstring) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. This marks Wade's fifth straight game sidelined.
