We have only four NBA games to consider this evening. Russell Westbrook $10600 is poised to notch another triple-double as Oklahoma City hosts the Rockets, after Kevin Durant $10400 (elbow) skipped practice yesterday. [Read more…]
The NBA regular season ends in less than four weeks, and a lion’s share of the national articles until then will be about playoff teams, playoff contenders, awards and the pursuit of history.

A ten-game NBA Sunday tips off at 3:30 Eastern with the Thunder hosting Cleveland on national TV. Russell Westbrook $11000 vs. Kyrie Irving $7900 and Kevin Durant $10000 against LeBron James $9700 are fantastic matchups in real life and daily fantasy. [Read more…]
