We have games spread throughout the day Monday, but only four of them will make up the main evening slate on Yahoo. The night won’t be short on big names, though, with the Lakers, Warriors, Nets and Bucks among the teams in action. Let’s discuss some players to consider for your lineups, as well as a few to possibly avoid. GUARDS Luka Doncic, DAL at TOR ($54): The Mavericks lost to the Bulls on Sunday, but Doncic exploded for 36 points, 16 rebounds, 15 assists and two steals. After a bit of a… Source link

A lot of people were saying good riddance to 2020, but I just want to say good riddance to the last week. That was arguably the most dysfunctional week of basketball in NBA history, with a record 15 games postponed. That doesn’t even take into consideration we had a blockbuster trade with James Harden, Caris LeVert and Victor Oladipo throwing the whole week into chaos. For this slate, we have just four games, with the Cleveland-Washington game being postponed. With that in mind, let’s get… Source link

This week has been beyond crazy. Whether it’s trades, injuries or COVID protocols, there’s just so much going on right now. Luckily, we have just four games on this main slate but there’s still a ton of question marks out there. Most notably, the Sixers, Grizzlies and Heat continue to deal with COVID craziness. It’s unclear what these rosters will look like at this point but we’ll do our best to break things down and offer up some values for this Saturday slate.   Guards  Shake Milton, PHI… Source link

You may recognize a product of Springfield, Massachusetts featured on Google’s homepage Friday. It’s called “basketball.” You may have heard of it. Friday’s Google Doodle is aimed at celebrating the life of Dr. James Naismith, who is best known for inventing the game of basketball in 1891 during his time at the YMCA International Training School, which is now Springfield College. The Google Doodle is a regular feature on the search engine’s homepage where the service’s logo is… Source link

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – James Naismith, the Canadian-American who invented the game of basketball, was celebrated with a Google Doodle on Friday. On December 21, 1891 Naismith held the first-ever game of basketball as the physical education teacher at the YMCA college in Springfield. When an article about the game rules titled  “A New Game” was published in the college newspaper on January 15, 1892, basketball became popular. The doodle that Google made up to… Source link

Two more NBA games have been postponed Friday, but we still have eight on the slate to digest on Yahoo. Here are some players to consider as you work your way through the options, as well as a few to potentially avoid. GUARDS Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, OKC vs. CHI ($32): Gilgeous-Alexander is coming off of a season-low 18.9 Yahoo points in what was a blowout loss against the Lakers on Wednesday. The lopsided score resulted in him playing only 27 minutes, so don’t read too much into his off… Source link

After a wild day in the NBA that saw postponements because of COVID-19 and a monster four-team trade, things should quiet down a bit Thursday with only four games on the schedule. There is still money to be one won Yahoo, though, so let’s examine some players to consider for your entry, as well as a few to possibly avoid. GUARDS Malcolm Brogdon, IND at POR ($37): For the first time in a while, Brogdon had a bad performance when the Pacers faced the Warriors on Tuesday. He still chipped in… Source link

As of early Tuesday morning, the NBA has already postponed one of the seven scheduled games for the day. We could see more postponements, so be sure to keep your eye out for news as the day moves along. As things currently stand, here are some players to consider for your Yahoo entry, as well as a few to potentially avoid. GUARDS Malcolm Brogdon, IND at GS ($37): Brogdon comes into this game rolling after having scored at least 40.7 Yahoo points in five straight games. One of the keys to his… Source link

The NBA continues to drudge on Monday despite outbreaks of COVID-19 wreaking havoc on several teams. From a DFS perspective, that means we’ll have some shallow depth charts to exploit. Let’s discuss some of the better players to consider for your entry, as well as some to potentially avoid. GUARDS Luka Doncic, DAL vs. NO ($53): The Mavericks are one of several teams who are playing short-handed right now because of COVID-19. For this matchup, they will be without Josh Richardson, Jalen… Source link

There are plenty of games today, but Yahoo’s slate only consists of four evening matchups. What’s interesting about this slate is the fact there are so many question marks. Not only is half of the Boston roster dealing with COVID protocols, we also have almost every big name entering this matchup with a questionable tag. That doesn’t even take into consideration the Spurs, Timberwolves and Heat are all playing the second half of a back-to-back, which adds even more uncertainty to the ledger…. Source link
