Eric Gordon is Questionable on Monday

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon (illness) is considered questionable for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. Gordon did not practice on Saturday and sat out of Sunday's game versus the Denver Nuggets. Joe Johnson saw the biggest increase in playing time with Gordon sidelined. Johnson played 29 minutes on Sunday, but finished with just […]

Tyreke Evans Ruled Out on Monday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (ribs) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. An MRI revealed slight cartilage damage, but Evans is considered day-to-day. "We're not expecting it to be a long absence," coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. Andrew Harrison is expected to see a higher usage rate without Evans on the […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/26/18): NBA DFS Lineups

Since I have taken over the Monday and Tuesday Draftkings articles, we'll start strong. First off, stacking the Pelicans-Suns game will be your best bet, especially going in on Anthony Davis. The Pelicans are one of three teams on the second night of a back-to-back, the Pistons and Rockets being the others, but Davis is […]

James Harden Schools Nuggets In Win

Houston Rockets guard James Harden was incredible on Sunday, dropping 41 points on 11-for-20 shooting to go along with eight rebounds, seven assists and one steal in a 119-114 win over the Denver Nuggets. He also shot 6-for-10 from beyond the arc and 13-for-16 from the charity stripe to round out his stat line. Harden […]

J.J. Redick Can't Get it Going on Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard J.J. Redick was a non-factor on Sunday, finishing with six points in the contest, as a result of two makes from three-point land against the Wizards. Redick added one rebound, four assists and one steal in this one, to go along with three turnovers in his 29 minutes. Redick has been […]

Marco Belinelli Chips in 10 Points Off the Bench

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Marco Belinelli was somewhat effective off the bench for his new team on Sunday, scoring 10 points on a lackluster 3-for-10 from the field while connecting twice from downtown in the loss to Washington. Belinelli added three rebounds and one steal to his totals while committing one turnover as well. Ersan […]

Will Barton Plays Very Efficiently Sunday

Denver Nuggets shooting guard Will Barton played very well in the game Sunday against the Houston Rockets. Barton scored 25 points, shooting 10-for-15 from the floor, with three of those made buckets coming from downtown. Barton also had seven rebounds, six assists and three steals. In the month of February, Barton has done fairly well, […]

Danny Green Scores 22 Points Off the Bench

San Antonio Spurs shooting guard Danny Green had to settle for a bench role in Sunday's road win over Cleveland, but he didn't let that affect his game, as he scored 22 points in 23 minutes. Green shot 6-for-11 and made five of his nine treys after missing Friday's loss to Denver with food poisoning. […]

Joe Ingles Fills The Stat Sheet In Win

Utah Jazz small forward Joe Ingles had a solid all-around game against the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night. He didn't shoot particularly well, scoring just 12 points on 4-for-12 shooting. However, Ingles chipped in eight assists, four rebounds, two three-pointers, two steals and two blocks. While Ingles' hot shooting may be coming back down to […]

Paul George Ice-Cold In Loss To The Warriors

Oklahoma City small forward Paul George was atrocious from the field against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night. He shot a putrid 1-for-14 from the field and didn't do much else to make up for his frigid shooting. George added just five rebounds, three assists and two steals to his line. It was a […]

Danny Green Will Play on Sunday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Danny Green (illness) will play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday. He was listed as probable before the game, but it sounds like he'll be good to go against the Cavs. He missed Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets due to food poisoning. Bryn Forbes, Patty Mills and Derrick White will go back […]

Manu Ginobili Ruled Out Sunday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Manu Ginobili (chest) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The injury is not serious, but it does not take much for the 40-year-old to be sidelined. Bryn Forbes and Patty Mills will split up Ginobili's minutes, but that is only roughly 15 to 20 minutes of […]

Avery Bradley Out 1-3 Weeks

Los Angeles Clippers guard Avery Bradley (groin) will miss the next one to three weeks of action. Head coach Doc Rivers does not know exactly when Bradley will return, but said he'll out be "a while." Milos Teodosic, Tyrone Wallace and Austin Rivers will split the minutes with Bradley sidelined. Teodosic and Rivers are worth […]

Zach LaVine Won't Play in Back-to-Back Sets

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) will not play in back-to-back sets for the reminder of the season. The Bulls will continue to be cautious with LaVine as his knee recovers. This move also improves the chances of the Bulls landing a higher pick in the upcoming draft. The Bulls have four more back-to-back sets, […]

Eric Bledsoe is Probable for Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe (wrist) is probable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Head coach Joe Prunty is listing Bledsoe as probable, but he is technically a game-time call for Sunday. He's expected to be out there barring any setbacks during warmups. Owners should check back before tip-off, but Bledsoe is expected […]

Eric Gordon is Doubtful for Sunday

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon (illness) is considered doubtful for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Gordon was unable to practice on Saturday and was forced to miss Friday's game with the same illness. P.J. Tucker, Luc Mbah a Moute and Joe Johnson would see additional playing time if Gordon is sidelined on Sunday. […]

Yogi Ferrell Shines in Loss to Jazz

Dallas Mavericks guard Yogi Ferrell provided a good spark off the bench in Saturday's loss to Utah, finishing with 13 points on 5-for-11 shooting, and even ending up leading the team with 35 minutes on the floor. Ferrell, who shot 3-for-6 from deep, also recorded five rebounds and four assists. He finished scoreless in the […]

Andrew Harrison Scores Team-Leading 17 Points

Memphis Grizzlies guard Andrew Harrison ended up as the team's leading scorer in Saturday's 115-89 loss to Miami, finishing with 17 points on 7-for-13 shooting. Marc Gasol (rest) and Tyreke Evans (ribs) didn't play, which helped increase Harrison's usage rate and points tally. He also had six assists and four rebounds in 28 minutes of […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/25/18): NBA DFS Lineups

There are a few games today, but DraftKings broke them up into two different slates. This article will be focusing around the games at 8 PM, as that is seen as the "featured" slate on DraftKings. There will be limited options, so I'll be trying to find some values and top plays here. In this […]

Jimmy Butler Could Return For Playoffs

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard Jimmy Butler (knee) will be out for the remainder of the regular season. Butler suffered a meniscus injury in his right knee during Friday’s loss to the Houston Rockets, but he could potentially return in time for the playoffs. For fantasy owners, this is not good news. While he is out, look […]

J.J. Redick Shoots the Ball Much Better on Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard J.J. Redick recovered from his poor shooting night on Thursday with a much more efficient game against the Magic on Saturday. Redick shot a mighty fine 6-for-8 from the field in this one, scoring 16 points with one three-pointer made, as well as going 3-for-3 from the free throw line. He […]

Marco Belinelli Plays Well in his 27 Minutes

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Marco Belinelli shot the ball well on Saturday, scoring 15 points on 6-for-12 shooting, splashing home one triple along the way against the Magic. Belinelli added two assists and two rebounds to his line, but hurt owners in the turnover column, racking up a team-high four giveaways in his 27 minutes. Belinelli […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/24/18): NBA DFS Lineups

There are a lot of solid options in the first weekend back after the horrendously long All-Star break. Due to a projected low-score and slow-pace, I am staying away from Miami/Memphis and Dallas/Utah games with OKC/Golden State and Portland/Phoenix being our highest-scoring and fastest-paced games of the day. In this article, I will be providing […]

C.J. McCollum Drops Game-High 26 Points

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard C.J. McCollum lit up the Utah Jazz in a win on Friday night. He dropped a game-high 26 points on an efficient 11-for-21 shooting. McCollum also added four three-pointers, three assists and two rebounds to round out his line. Nobody on the Jazz could contain McCollum, as he shredded the […]

Donovan Mitchell Drops 21 Points

Utah Jazz shooting guard Donovan Mitchell had a decent scoring game despite his team getting blown out by the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night. Mitchell scored 21 points, which included four three-pointers, and he added three rebounds and one steal. While the scoring was nice, Mitchell wasn't particularly efficient, making just eight of 20 […]

Jonathon Simmons is Probable for Saturday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Jonathon Simmons (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The good news is that this ankle issue is not the same as the lingering injury Simmons suffered last month. He is technically listed as a game-time decision, but is fully expected to suit up against the Sixers. Owners should […]

Justin Holiday Ruled Out Against Minnesota

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Justin Holiday has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is the second straight game that Holiday and center Robin Lopez have been healthy scratches. The Bulls appear fully committed to letting their younger players get playing time. David Nwaba started on Thursday and finished with 21 points, […]

Jimmy Butler Ruled Out for Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (knee) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The MRI results have yet to be released, but Butler will sit the second night of the back-to-back regardless. There was "some optimism" that Butler did not tear his ACL, according to David Aldridge. Nemanja Bjelica is expected […]

Tyreke Evans Ruled Out on Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (ribs) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He injured his rib in the fourth quarter of Friday's loss to Cleveland. Evans was clearly in pain and headed to the locker room and did not return to the contest. He will be kept out of the […]

James Harden Scores 31 Points Despite Struggles From Field

Houston Rockets shooting guard James Harden scored 31 points in Houston's win over Minnesota on Friday, but that was thanks in large part to an excellent night from the free throw line, where Harden went 12-for-12. His field goal shooting was a different story, with the MVP candidate shooting just 8-for-24 from the field and […]
