Seth Curry Will Miss Tuesday’s Contest

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Seth Curry (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus the Raptors due to a sore left ankle. Curry has been an ironman as of late, averaging 36.1 minutes per contest over his last six appearances, with his absence paving the way for Matisse Thybulle and Isaiah Joe to see […]

Tony Snell Draws Start For Tuesday’s Contest

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard/small forward Tony Snell will make his first start of the season Tuesday against Cleveland with Cam Reddish (Achilles) sidelined. Snell has averaged just 3.8 PPG across 17 contests this year, although he tied his season high with 12 points in his most recent outing. Snell will have DFS punt play appeal […]

Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk Enters Starting Five Tuesday

Detroit Pistons shooting guard/small forward Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk will draw his first start of the year Tuesday against Orlando. Mykhailiuk has averaged 19 minutes and 6.8 points off the bench over his last five games, earning the move up the depth chart without Wayne Ellington (rest) available. Having averaged 11.2 PPG across 27 starts last season, […]

Jrue Holiday Remains Sidelined For Tuesday’s Game

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday will be unavailable for Tuesday's contest against Minnesota as he works his way back from the league's health and safety protocols. Holiday has been cleared for individual workouts, so it appears as if his return is on the near horizon. D.J. Augustin has hopped into the starting five in […]

Victor Oladipo, Eric Gordon Questionable For Wednesday

Houston Rockets point/shooting guards Victor Oladipo (foot) and Eric Gordon (heel) have been deemed questionable to play in Wednesday's contest against Cleveland. Oladipo has missed the past four games, paving the way for Gordon and John Wall to see increased offensive workloads, while Jae'sean Tate has emerged as a short-term season-long stream option. Gordon has […]

Iman Shumpert Cleared To Make Team Debut Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets small forward Iman Shumpert has been given the green light to take the floor for the first time this year after having re-signed with the organization in January. The timing of his potential debut is fortuitous, as Brooklyn is down bench ace Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (hip) for the first time all season Tuesday, which […]

Dean Wade Draws First Career Start Tuesday

Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Dean Wade will make the first start of his NBA career during Tuesday's matchup with the Hawks. Wade has averaged just 8.3 minutes across his first 23 games this season, taking the place of Taurean Prince (ankle) in the starting lineup. Having not yet scored in double figures across his first […]

Kevon Looney Rejoins Starting Five Tuesday

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (ankle) has been cleared to return for Tuesday's game against New York, immediately reclaiming his spot in the starting lineup. Despite his starting gig, Looney is a highly unreliable fantasy asset, having scored in double figures just once during his first 21 contests to begin the year. His matchup […]

Stephen Curry, James Wiseman Cleared To Return Tuesday

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (illness) and center James Wiseman (wrist) have both been given the green light to get back in action for Tuesday's contest against the Knicks. Curry sat out one game due to an illness, whereas Wiseman has been unavailable since Jan. 30 with a sprained wrist. Curry has produced […]

Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot Will Miss Tuesday’s Contest

Brooklyn Nets small/power forward Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Kings due to a hip contusion, marking his first absence of the year. It's unclear how head coach Steve Nash could reallocate Luwawu-Cabarrot's workload, but Iman Shumpert and Noah Vonleh stand to benefit. Drawing DFS appeal primarily when absences […]

Kyle Lowry Ruled Out For Tuesday’s Game

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry (thumb) will miss Tuesday's contest against the 76ers due to a left thumb sprain. Lowry's absence marks his fourth straight game on the sidelines, allowing Fred Vanvleet and Norman Powell to continue seeing an increased offensive workload. Deandre Bembry has started each of the past three games in Lowry's […]

Cam Reddish Will Miss Tuesday’s Contest

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard/small forward Cam Reddish (Achilles) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus Cleveland as he battles an Achilles ailment. Reddish has started each of the past 11 games for Atlanta, but he has scuffled mightily from the field in that stretch, shooting 35.3 percent overall, including 21.3 percent from behind the […]

Russell Westbrook Cleared To Suit Up Tuesday

Washington Wizards point guard Russell Westbrook has been given the green light to play in the second leg of the team's back-to-back Tuesday against the Clippers. Westbrook played in both legs of Washington's most recent back-to-back setting, with the concerns about him resting now appearing to be behind him. His presence limits the DFS upside […]

New Orleans Releases Sindarius Thornwell

Shooting guard Sindarius Thornwell was released by the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday, ending his two-year tenure with the organization. Thornwell played sporadically this year for New Orleans, averaging just 1.4 PPG across 11 contests. After starting 17 games as a rookie for the Clippers back in 2017-18, Thornwell has struggled to earn a consistent […]

Rajon Rondo Improves To Questionable For Tuesday’s Game

Atlanta Hawks point guard Rajon Rondo (back) has been listed as questionable to suit up for Tuesday's contest against Cleveland due to lower back pain. Rondo has missed each of the Hawks' past seven games due to the ailment, with a potential return incrementally cutting into the workload of Trae Young and Kevin Huerter. Rondo […]

JaMychal Green To Miss Second Straight Outing Tuesday

Denver Nuggets power forward JaMychal Green (shoulder) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against Portland due to a sprained left shoulder. Zeke Nnaji has stepped into the starting five without both Green and Paul Millsap (knee) available, elevating the rookie's short-term season-long and DFS appeal. Green's recent slide in production has firmly entrenched him […]

Jeff Green, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot Questionable For Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets power forward/center Jeff Green (shoulder) and small/power forward Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (hip) have both been deemed questionable to take the floor Tuesday against the Kings. Neither player has missed a game yet this season, with both playing vital roles primarily with the second unit. Bruce Brown would presumably see an increased offensive role should […]

Dwight Powell Enters Starting Five Monday

Dallas Mavericks center Dwight Powell has been bumped up into the starting group for Monday's contest against the Grizzlies. Powell stands to benefit from Kristaps Porzingis' (back) absence, although Willie Cauley-Stein should also factor in significantly to the team's frontcourt rotation. Even during six starts this year, Powell is averaging just 5.3 points and 4.4 […]

Harrison Barnes Earns Questionable Tag For Tuesday

Sacramento Kings small/power forward Harrison Barnes (foot) has been bumped up to questionable to play in Tuesday's game against Brooklyn due to a sprained left foot. Barnes has missed each of the team's past three contests due to the ailment, with Daquan Jeffries being the most recent entrant into the starting five. Sacramento's rotation has […]

Stephen Curry Picks Up Questionable Tag For Tuesday

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (illness) has been deemed questionable to play in Tuesday's game against the Knicks as he continues to battle an illness. Curry was held out of action for the first time this year Saturday due to it, with Mychal Mulder entering the starting five. Curry's offensive production as of […]

Devonte' Graham Remains Sidelined For Monday’s Game

Charlotte Hornets point/shooting guard Devonte' Graham (knee) will be out of the mix for Monday's contest against the Spurs, his second straight absence with a knee ailment. Head coach James Borrego noted that the team would be "extremely cautious" with Graham, an indication that he could be in line for a short-term absence beyond Monday. […]

Tyler Herro Will Miss Monday’s Game

Miami Heat point/shooting guard Tyler Herro (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's contest versus the Thunder due to a hip contusion that he sustained in the team's most recent outing. Herro's absence -- along with that of Goran Dragic (ankle) -- means that Kendrick Nunn and Jimmy Butler are in line to see a […]

P.J. Tucker Returns For Monday’s Contest

Houston Rockets power forward/center P.J. Tucker (foot) has been cleared to get back into action for Monday's outing against Chicago following a two-game absence. Tucker's return timing is fortuitous, as he should see a lion's share of minutes at the center spot without DeMarcus Cousins (heel) or Christian Wood (ankle) available. A highly unreliable season-long […]

Houston Rules DeMarcus Cousins Out For Monday

Houston Rockets center DeMarcus Cousins (heel) has been ruled out for Monday's contest versus Chicago due to a sore right heel. Cousins' absence is not surprising when factoring in the recent trade speculation swirling around his name. Without both Cousins and Christian Wood (ankle) in the frontcourt, Houston figures to be rather short-handed, which opens […]

Kristaps Porzingis Ruled Out For Monday’s Game

Dallas Mavericks power forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (back) will miss Monday's contest against the Rockets due to a tight back. Porzingis had picked up a questionable tag earlier in the day, with the ailment not healing enough to allow him to take the floor. Willie Cauley-Stein bumps into DFS consideration without Porzingis in the mix, as […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/19/21): NBA DFS Lineups

It’s unclear if the Utah Jazz will be stopped anytime soon, with their rematch against the Clippers on Friday serving as one of many rematches of recent showdowns. Much in the ilk that it’s difficult to gauge individual player performance from game-to-game during a playoff series, it’s similarly hard during the regular season. Depending upon […]

Desmond Bane, De'Anthony Melton Will Miss Tuesday’s Contest

Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard/small forward Desmond Bane (personal) and point/shooting guard De'Anthony Melton (shoulder) have been ruled out for Tuesday's game against New Orleans. Bane is missing his third straight outing due to personal reasons, while Melton remains out for the fifth consecutive contest due to a sore left shoulder. Grayson Allen has been the […]

Taurean Prince Ruled Out For Monday’s Game

Cleveland Cavaliers small/power forward Taurean Prince (ankle) will not suit up for Monday's contest against the Warriors after attempting to work through an ankle ailment prior to tip-off. Cedi Osman will enter the starting five in Prince's place and see significant DFS upside, especially with Andre Drummond (team decision) also unavailable. Prince had entered the […]
