Spencer Dinwiddie Leaves Game With Knee Strain

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie (knee) will not return Sunday against the Charlotte Hornets after suffering a right knee strain. Dinwiddie was on her the ground grabbing his right knee before hobbling over to the bench and getting escorted to the locker room. Hopefully this is not a serious injury, but could be a huge […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Has Wrist Dislocation; Is Week-To-Week

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) has been diagnosed with a left wrist dislocation and will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis. Terrible news for Towns who has been through enough already this year, but the silver lining is this will not require surgery. Towns should be treated as extremely doubtful, if not out, for […]

Joel Embiid Out Sunday With Back Tightness

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) was a late scratch Sunday ahead of their contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Embiid was originally slated to play the second half of a back-to-back, a welcome sight for fantasy managers, but was ruled out just before gametime. This will likely be a common trend in the shorter season, […]

Victor Oladipo Will Not Play Sunday Night Due To Rest

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (guard) will not play Sunday night against the Boston Celtics. Oladipo is just resting on the second night of a back-to-back, but there was some original optimism he would be ready to go. With Oladipo out, Aaron Holiday usually enters the starting lineup while Justin Holiday is the first off […]

Blake Griffin And Derrick Rose Out Monday

The Detroit Pistons have already ruled out forward Blake Griffin (injury management) and point guard Derrick Rose (rest) Monday against the Atlanta Hawks. This will be the first night of a back-to-back set as both players should be good to go against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday. Griffin's absence should pave the way for […]

Russell Westbrook Resting Second Night Of Back-To-Back

Washington Wizards point guard Russell Westbrook (rest) will not play Sunday night against the Orlando Magic. Westbrook will continue his trend of resting the second night of a back-to-back for the second straight season. This was to be expected with the quick turnaround and condensed season. With Westbrook out, Raul Neto will get the spot […]

Kevin Love Expected To Play Sunday Night

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Kevin Love (calf) is expected to play Sunday night against the Philadelphia 76ers. Love made his season debut Saturday night after recovering from a calf strain and played 38 minutes despite reports of a minutes restriction. There was fear Love would sit Sunday since it is the second night of a back-to-back, […]

Draymond Green Remains Out Against Bulls

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (foot) has been downgraded to out against the Chicago Bulls on Sunday. Green was originally questionable after participating in practice and looked on track to play, however his debut will have to wait. In Green's absence, Eric Paschall will likely continue to start while James Wiseman and Kevon Looney […]

Marcus Morris Out Sunday, Kawhi Leonard Questionable

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris (knee) has been ruled out Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks with knee soreness. Morris has not played yet this season and being ruled out a day in advance does not bode well for his recovery. Look for Nicolas Batum to continue starting and is worth the add in 12-team […]

Nikola Jokic Narrowly Misses Second Straight Triple-Double

This is starting to become another day at the office for Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic, who narrowly missed a triple-double on Christmas Day. Jokic scored a team-high 24 points on 7-for-13 shooting from the field and 9-for-11 from the free throw line in 38 minutes. Jokic also added 10 assists, nine rebounds, one three […]

Nicolas Batum Fills In Admirably On Christmas Day

Los Angeles Clippers forward Nicolas Batum has shined in his spot starts, including a gem on Christmas Day against the Denver Nuggets. Batum posted a double-double in 36 minutes with 13 points on 5-for-8 shooting, 10 rebounds, four assists, two three-pointers, one steal and one block. Batum has been filling in for injured forward Marcus […]

Robert Williams And Tacko Fall Out For Christmas Day

Boston Celtics centers Robert Williams (illness) and Tacko Fall (eye) will not play Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. This will be an interesting story to follow as the Celtics will only have two active centers for this contest: Daniel Theis and Tristan Thompson. In the opener, both big men started, but now coach Brad Stevens […]

Dejounte Murray Shines Wednesday Night

San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray was a problem for the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday. Murray scored 21 points on 9-for-15 shooting and added nine assists, six rebounds, two steals and a three-pointer in 31 minutes. Murray has averaged more rebounds than assists in his career so far, but this could be the year […]

DeMar DeRozan Leads Spurs To Win With Near Triple-Double

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward DeMar DeRozan lead his team in scoring in the win over the Memphis Grizzlies Wednesday night. DeRozan put up 28 points, nine rebounds, nine assists, one steal and one block in 35 minutes. In typical DeRozan fashion, he did not attempt a single three-pointer, but was 7-for-14 from the field and […]

Ja Morant Torches Spurs For Career-High 44 Points

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant was on fire Wednesday night, but could not lead his team to a victory over the San Antonio Spurs. Morant recorded a career-high 44 points on 18-for-27 shooting, including nine assists, two steals and a block in 35 minutes. What is even more impressive is Morant only recorded one […]

Kyle Lowry Registers Double-Double In Loss to Pelicans

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry recorded a double-double in Wednesday night's loss to the visiting New Orleans Pelicans. Lowry posted 18 points on 7-for-15 shooting, 10 assists, four three-pointers and not much else in 39 minutes. Lowry was the primary facilitator, as expected, but had trouble keeping the ball in their possession with six […]

Zion Williamson Records An Efficient Double-Double

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson had no trouble finding the basket in a win over the Toronto Raptors Wednesday night. Williamson finished with 15 points on 7-for-9 shooting to go along with 10 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 30 minutes.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (8/5/20): NBA DFS Lineups

The Bucks were 19.0-point favorites, but head coach Mike Budenholzer limited his starters between 15-20 minutes and removed Brook Lopez (rest) from the lineup entirely right before tip-off. Sometimes basketball can be completely […]
