Kent Bazemore Expected to Miss Several Weeks

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Kent Bazemore (knee) is expected to miss "several weeks" with a bone bruise in his knee. He played just 12 minutes in Sunday's contest after he landed awkwardly and limped to the locker room. The Hawks have already rested Bazemore earlier in the season as a precaution. Atlanta is tanking for draft […]

James Harden Will Play on Monday

Houston Rockets guard James Harden (knee) will play against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday. He did not play in Sunday's contest against the Dallas Mavericks due to rest. It was a precautionary absence due to the back-to-back set, but Harden will be fine for Monday's contest. Eric Gordon stepped into the starting rotation for […]

Wesley Matthews Will Miss Road Trip

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (leg) will miss the upcoming four-game road trip. Matthews got bumped in Saturday's game and his leg "swelled up a bit" and the Mavs do not want to risk anything. The Mavs are tanking for draft positioning, so they can afford to let Matthews rest up. Yogi Ferrell, Doug McDermott, […]

Kyrie Irving Could Miss Games This Week

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (knee) could miss a few games this week. He said after Sunday's game that his knee felt "achy" and he could need some time to rest up. Boston is up seven games on the Cavs for the No. 2 seed, so there is no urgency to have Irving on the […]

Dwyane Wade Ruled Out Monday

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It's unclear when Wade suffered this injury, but he did only play 15 minutes in his last contest on Saturday. Hamstring injuries have a tendency to linger, so fantasy owners may not want to hold onto Wade […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/12/18): NBA DFS Lineups

There are not many games tonight and there is less value. Your best chance of coming away with some cash is to take your chance on one sleeper pick, while taking safer mid-level priced options. It isn't the prettiest slate of games from a DFS standpoint, especially with most of the teams playing Monday night […]

Eric Gordon Shines In Start

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon made his 25th start of the year on Sunday against Dallas with James Harden (knee) out, scoring 26 points with six triples in 31 minutes. Gordon went 6-for-11 from deep in what was his fifth straight game shooting over 40 percent from downtown. He has been shooting pretty poorly […]

Darren Collison Has 10 Assists Off the Bench

Indiana Pacers point guard Darren Collison is quickly making strides in his timely return from left knee surgery, dishing out 10 assists and turning it over only three times in the thrilling win over the Boston Celtics, placing them first in the Central Division. He did not look for his shot Sunday, evidenced by his two […]

Jordan Clarkson Could Not Buy A Bucket

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Jordan Clarkson was quiet in his return to Los Angeles after being traded, managing just four points on a dismal 1-for-8 shooting from the field in the loss against his former team. He did have four assists but failed to contribute much elsewhere in 16 minutes of uninspired play. Even veteran point […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Puts Up 25 in Loss

New York Knicks shooting guard/small forward Tim Hardaway Jr. continues to soak up the opportunity as the tanking Knicks first option on offense. Playing 38 minutes, he scored 25 points on 7-for-17 shooting. He lived at the stripe on Sunday, as he shot 9-for-10 from the free-throw line. His 47.5 percent shooting over the last […]

Rodney Hood Ruled Out Sunday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Rodney Hood (back) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He played just seven minutes versus the Clippers on Friday. Hood left due to a lower back strain and did not return to the contest. Hood could be headed towards a multiple-game absence, but an MRI was […]

James Harden Unlikely to Play Sunday

Houston Rockets guard James Harden (knee) is unlikely to suit up for Sunday's game against the Dallas Mavericks, according to Tim MacMahon. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so the Rockets probably do not need Harden to beat a struggling Mavs team. This is not likely anything serious, but the Rockets want to […]

Andre Iguodala is Questionable on Sunday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Andre Iguodala (wrist) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He suffered the injury on Tuesday and has not played since then. Iggy has missed two straight games and is in danger of missing his third in a row. Omri Casspi and Nick Young have been seeing additional playing […]

Wilson Chandler is Probable on Sunday

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Wilson Chandler (hip) is probable to play against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday. He missed Friday's game against the Lakers but is listed as probable, so he could've been held out as a precaution. Chandler has dealt with hip issues in the past, so hopefully this injury does not linger. Will Barton […]

De'Aaron Fox is Questionable on Sunday

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (back) is questionable to play against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday. He missed Friday's game due to a back issue but was energetic on the bench. This looks like just a minor issue for Fox, but the Kings are tanking, so they can afford to be cautious. Fantasy owners […]

Dennis Smith Jr. is Expected to Play Sunday

Dallas Mavericks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (knee) is expected to return on Sunday versus the Houston Rockets. The Mavs do not want Smith playing in back-to-back sets, so they held him out on Saturday against the struggling Grizzlies. Both J.J. Barea and Yogi Ferrell saw increased playing time and more opportunities without DSJ on the […]

Stephen Curry Ruled Out on Sunday

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (ankle) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He did not travel with the team and was ruled out for both games during the road trip. The Warriors are going to be cautious with Curry and make sure he's 100 percent before letting him […]

Josh Richardson Goes Perfect From The Field Saturday

Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson did not miss a shot in the blowout win over the Washington Wizards Saturday. Richardson only played 21 minutes with the game well in hand, but scored 13 points on 6-for-6 shooting and contributed four assists and two steals. Teammate Dwyane Wade (hamstring) left Saturday's game with a mild hamstring […]

Bradley Beal And Rest Of Starters Struggle Saturday

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal led all starters with only 14 points on 5-for-12 shooting Saturday against the Miami Heat. The Wizards were blown out in this one and no starter reached 30 minutes of playing time. John Wall (knee) has been ramping up his activity, but there is still no timetable for his […]

D.J. Augustin Scores 19 Points Against LA

Orlando Magic guard D.J. Augustin scored 19 points on 5-for-10 shooting from the field against Los Angeles on Saturday night. He did struggle from behind the arc, going 1-for-6 from that range and also had issues with ball control, turning it over four times in the loss to the playoff-hopeful Clippers. Despite flirting with the […]

Lou Williams Leads Team with 25 Points

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams paced his team in their win over the Magic on Saturday. Williams shot an inefficient 10-for-22 en route to his team-high 25 points while adding two rebounds and a steal. The Clippers will next face the Bulls, where Williams will get his choice of young players to school. The […]

Jodie Meeks The Lone Bright Spot Saturday

Washington Wizards shooting guard Jodie Meeks took advantage of extra playing time Saturday night in a blowout loss to the Miami Heat. Meeks logged 28 minutes on a night where no starter reached 30 minutes and scored 23 points on 7-for-15 shooting with three three-pointers. Meeks has now scored in double digits in back-to-back games […]

Jonathon Simmons Leads Magic In Scoring

Orlando Magic guard/forward Jonathan Simmons continued to take advantage of the absence of Evan Fournier (knee) and Aaron Gordon (concussion), finishing the night with 24 points against the Clippers. Simmons shot 7-for-13 from the field, 2-for-3 from deep and was an accurate 8-for-10 from the charity stripe. He also contributed seven assists and was sound […]

Wesley Matthews Logs 25 Minutes In Return From Injury

Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Wesley Matthews (hip) was back on the court on Saturday after missing the last two games, playing 25 minutes in a 114-80 win over Memphis. He probably could've spent more time on the floor if the game hadn't ended up as a blowout. However, he didn't really perform well, shooting just […]

Mario Chalmers, Andrew Harrison Ruled Out Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guards Mario Chalmers (hamstring) and Andrew Harrison (wrist) have been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. It appears both players will be sidelined for at least another week. Tyreke Evans (ribs) is listed as out for Saturday as well. Kobi Simmons, Xavier Rathan-Mayes, and Ben McLemore should see minutes in […]

Tyreke Evans Ruled Out Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (ribs) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He has been sidelined since late February and does not appear close to returning. Fantasy owners may want to consider dropping Evans if you don't have an Injured Reserve spot available. Kobi Simmons, Ben McLemore and Xavier Rathan-Mayes will […]

Jaylen Brown Expected to Miss One Week

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (concussion) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Head coach Brad Stevens said Brown would "probably" miss a week of action. Brown is experiencing concussion symptoms, but everything else is fine. He'll be able to return once he's cleared from the NBA's concussion protocol. Terry Rozier, […]

Dennis Smith Jr. is Questionable on Saturday

Dallas Mavericks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He missed two games back in October due to a left knee effusion. However, he has not had any reported issues since then, so hopefully it's just a minor issue. Fantasy owners are likely going to need to wait […]

T.J. Warren, Josh Jackson Ruled Out Saturday

Phoenix Suns small forward T.J. Warren (back) and guard/forward Josh Jackson (knee) have been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Devin Booker (triceps) is questionable for this contest, but regardless the Suns are going to be very short-handed for this contest. Shaquille Harrison, Davon Reed and Troy Daniels should all be looking […]
