There's a 14-game slate Wednesday and with that we have a massive selection of options over at Monkey Knife Fight. In the All-Day Star Shootout, we have James Harden and Giannis Antetoukounmpo with incredibly high point totals.

There are nine games on today's slate and all are supposed to be moderately high-scoring. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kevin Love, Donovan Mitchell, and Jimmy Butler need to be considered based on their prices and upsides since all have favorable matchups, and outside of Antetokoumpo, all are reasonably priced. There is one player tonight that has been […]

With 10 games on the slate, we have a little more room to work with compared to last night's two-game slate. You have Nikola Jokic for cheap, Kevin Love's price is reasonable, Bradley Beal should dismantle the Hornets defense, Donovan Mitchell has a ton of upside, and you are free to choose one of the […]

A cruddy little two-game slate tonight, so I am not going to waste the time on the more hopeful picks. We need the players that will be the highest scoring regardless of price.

The injuries surrounding the New Orleans Pelicans have opened up massive windows for two players on the roster. With Derrick Favors hurt, we have already seen breakout performances from both Jaxson Hayes and Nicolo Melli. Breakout might be a strong word, but they were fantasy relevant performances nonetheless. The upside that both carry into their […]

There was some speculation before tip-off Friday that Russell Westbrook would be missing one of the two Rockets games this weekend. Since he played 35 minutes in Friday's contest against an out-of-conference opponent, I don't understand why he would sit in a game that actually carries playoff implications. Maybe I am the only thinking about […]

This is for anyone that might need to read this today. If you have confidence in a pick, roll with it. Yesterday, my one play. The only player I felt extremely confident rostering was Rodney McGruder. Heading into this game it was obvious he was going to get extra minutes, then Patrick Beverley was announced […]

To this point, Jonathan Isaac has been the most improved player in the league and it's not really in question. He is contributing in every way, not to mention dominating the defensive categories early in the season. This should continue and his role should not be hard to sustain with how the Magic offense is […]

After watching last night's game versus the Knicks, It's hard to trust anyone on the Dallas Mavericks not named Luka Doncic or Kristaps Porzingis. There is no offense outside of these two players and it seems that the team is lost even when they have the ball. Hope about Dallas making the playoffs is all […]

One specific aspect of analyzing basketball that will gradually become more important as the season progresses is stacking teams in back-to-backs. This early in the season it won't carry nearly as much weight, but knowing when and where to stack effectively will change your entire strategy when creating lineups for these mid-sized slates. For example, […]

Last night with only three games, there was a bit of a struggle to find solid value plays. Luckily, you read my article and made the most of Frank Jackson's output and are looking for similar production tonight.

After a hefty Wednesday night slate, Thursday night's game have plenty of hype to live up to. With the Clippers as the only team playing on the second night of a back-to-back, there still isn't a ton of potential for the Spurs. Bryn Forbes and Dejounte Murray have been gems in the lower-tier of point […]

Small slates with small sample sized don't really allow us to dive into every matchup from a solid analytical angle, but with teams playing their first games, we can expect to see some outliers right off the bat. Young players are going to come out shooting, so whether they convert or not will make or […]

Too bad I can't recap last night's games because there is so much to unpack from a non-DFS standpoint. Since you can simply go on Twitter and read what all the clearly, upstanding individuals on that platform tweet, there's no reason to continue to talk about something you don't care about anymore. With just two […]

The Damian Lillard, Russell Westbrook saga continues and they continue to raise each others ceiling in DFS contests. Weirdly enough, you shouldn't NEED to roster either tonight to put up some serious numbers. Instead of spending up for any specific player, I'd say play some of the Warriors, mainly because of the lack of value […]
