Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (1/31/23)

Friday we had a weird small slate and then yesterday I simply wasn't able to get any picks out to the public in the morning. But today we have five NBA games and oddly enough there's an angle I like in nearly every game so I am going to roll out some Tuesday NBA betting […]

Dejounte Murray Sets New Record With 40 Points

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray produced his best-ever scoring outing on Monday against Portland, leading the troops with 40 points in a 129-125 loss. Trae Young (ankle) had the night off and it gave Murray all the keys to the offense. He shot 13-for-26 from the field and 5-for-8 from downtown with a 9-for-9 record […]

Trae Young Ruled Out Versus Portland

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (ankle) will not play Monday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. Young was questionable to play with ankle soreness, but will end up missing his sixth game of the year. With Young out, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Aaron Holiday figure to get boosts in playing time and usage. Dejounte Murray […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/30/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a solid eight-game slate on tap Monday night, one that features a majority of games with narrow spreads. We also have some intriguing matchups on tap in Lakers-Nets, Kings-Timberwolves, Warriors-Thunder, and Hawks-Trail Blazers, although some key absences in that first contest will reduce the star power considerably. Projected totals also offer some reason […]

Trae Young Questionable Against Portland On Monday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (ankle) has been tagged as questionable for Monday's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 24-year-old has been on the injury report a handful of times for his ankle and he's played through it a few times before. So far, Young has only missed five games this season. If he […]

De'Andre Hunter To Return On Saturday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (illness) is set to return for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The young forward has missed the last two games due to a minor illness. His return will shift Bogdan Bogdanovic to the second unit. The move to the bench shouldn't impact Bogdanovic as he should still serve […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/28/23): NBA DFS Lineups

Saturday slates are typically smaller, ranging from four to six games on the main slate on most occasions. However, we're treated to a nine-game main slate tonight on both sites, tipping off at 6:00 CT with the Rockets-Pistons and Bulls-Magic matchups. As you can see by my model below, every game on the board is […]

Trae Young Powers Hawks To A Win On Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young was not going to be denied as he led the team in scoring and assists en route to their 25th win of the season. The Oklahoma product ended the game with 33 points, 11 assists, and three rebounds while hitting half of his 20 shots and 3-for-6 from three. Young […]

De'Andre Hunter Ruled Out Against Thunder

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (asthma) will not play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. Hunter is experiencing some asthma symptoms which will sideline him for the second straight game. Bogdan Bogdanovic figures to get another start with Hunter out while AJ Griffin should see a respectable role off the bench.

Onyeka Okongwu Will Play Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (hamstring) is available to play Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Okongwu missed one game due to hamstring soreness but will return to his normal bench role on Wednesday. Okongwu figures to split the center minutes with Clint Capela while Jalen Johnson and AJ Griffin should see a slight decrease […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/25/23 - Monkey Knife Fight

Wednesday’s 10-game slate is packed with high-scoring potential throughout, but the late-grouping of games is where every bettors focus should be. Lakers – Spurs features LeBron James on the second night of a back-to-back after scoring 46-points yesterday against the Clippers. James is more than likely going to have his fourth 40-point game this month […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (1/25/23)

After an eventful start to the week, it's time for a big ole' 10-game Wednesday slate and I'm ready to make more picks than usual since we have a number of smaller spreads tonight and quite a few games where my model disagrees with Vegas right now. I'm only picking sides and totals in this […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/25/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We have our typical big Wednesday night slate on tap, as 10 games are on the docket. There are several big-name matchups on tap, including a Nets-76ers battle in Philly and a Nuggets-Bucks interconference showdown that could prove to be a Finals preview. Not only do the spreads portend a competitive night -- all but […]

De'Andre Hunter Questionable Against OKC

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (asthma) is questionable on Wednesday versus the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 25-year-old didn't suit up on Monday in Chicago because of acute asthma symptoms, opening the door for Bogdan Bogdanovic to enter the starting lineup. No. 16 overall pick AJ Griffin also received 31 minutes of work from the bench, […]

Onyeka Okongwu Uncertain For Wednesday's Game

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against OKC. The 22-year-old didn't suit up for Monday's contest in Chicago because of hamstring tightness, allowing Clint Capela to go for 16 points, 12 rebounds, two blocks, and two steals in 36 minutes of work. That said, with Capela healthy, he'll likely remain […]

Onyeka Okongwu Tagged As Questionable For Monday

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (hamstring) has been given the questionable tag heading into Monday's contest against the Chicago Bulls. The 22-year-old big man was starting while Clint Capela was injured and still receives north of 20 minutes per game off of the bench. If he's unable to play, Frank Kaminsky and Jalen Johnson would […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic No Longer On Injury Report

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic couldn't play in the team's last contest against the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday but doesn't appear on the injury report on Sunday. So, thankfully for fantasy managers that took a risk on him, he's only going to miss one game due to injury management. The 30-year-old has averaged 15.4 points, […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/22/23): NBA DFS Lineups

There are four games on the DraftKings main slate tonight, but FanDuel did its own thing (what's new) and has included the earlier Knicks-Raptors game in their main slate schedule. That game should be competitive, but its 222-point implied total is the lowest on the slate by a wide margin, and I'm not loving targeting […]

De'Andre Hunter (SF, ATL) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Hawks have struggled this season but they seem to have found a solution to their woes, having gone 7-3 in their last 10 games through Saturday and losing one after having won their prior six. While finding De'Andre Hunter in the […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/21/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We've got a six-game slate and plenty of intriguing spots to work with. The 76ers-Kings game is the top matchup to target for DFS tonight, but the Hornets-Hawks and Rockets-Timberwolves are also appealing game environments. We typically don't want to exclude games on a short slate like this one, and that's especially true when star […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic To Play On Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) is available for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. The veteran guard will suit up here despite dealing with knee issues recently. He was able to play 33 minutes off the bench during their last game. Possibly, Bogdanovic can do that again, but we'll see how his knee […]

Trae Young Available For Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. The superstar guard has been cleared to play despite dealing with a sprained left ankle. Young has been on fire lately, providing top-15 fantasy value over the last two weeks. It doesn't sound like Young should be limited at […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (1/20/22)

It's another 9-game slate in the NBA tonight, and I am hoping to keep the hot streak going and get this record back to .500 before you know it. Wednesday's picks did well and we survived a late scratch from Sabonis as the Kings covered anyway. Tonight we have our work cut out for us, […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (01/20/22): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Friday, RotoBallers! I hope you all had an excellent week to this point, and a great weekend is forthcoming! We have a plentiful NBA slate tonight, with a bunch of games on the board and some very fun matchups to look forward to. I'm a big fan of Friday slates since Thursday slates are […]

Dejounte Murray Leads Hawks In Scoring On Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray was red-hot on Wednesday night as he led the team to a 130-122 win over the Dallas Mavericks. The 26-year-old posted 30 points, seven rebounds, four assists, and one steal while shooting an efficient 12-for-18 from the floor and 4-for-6 from deep. Ever since he became the co-star in Atlanta […]

Clint Capela Will Remain On A Minutes Limit Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (calf) will continue to have his minutes monitored on Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Capela has been in and out of the lineup all year due to a calf injury and the Hawks are taking it slow with his recovery. Onyeka Okongwu should hold the majority of the minutes at […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/18/23 - Monkey Knife Fight

Nine games Wednesday with fairly impressive point totals overall. There are plenty of options to choose from, but specifically there are four games leading the pack in terms of scoring potential. Since Nuggets versus Timberwolves hasn’t been posted and is a great matchup, be sure to wait and see what exactly is being offered. Last […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/18/23): NBA DFS Lineups

After a typically quiet Tuesday night, we're back up to a big nine-game mid-week ledger Wednesday. There is no shortage of elite options with 18 teams taking the floor, as well as several mid-range/value plays at each position, especially centers. The injury report fortunately isn't overly populated with many short-term issues, either, which helps keep […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/17/23): NBA DFS Lineups

It's a small slate today with only four games on the docket this Tuesday evening, but there are some compelling options at all price points and I'm going to do my best to highlight some picks in each price range. The matchup between Portland and Denver carries the highest total today at 238.5 points and […]

Trae Young, Bogdan Bogdanovic Available On Monday

Atlanta Hawks guards Trae Young (shoulder) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (quad) are both available for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. Young was originally probable, but has now been upgraded to available for this game. He should continue to play his normal role in the rotation, which means Aaron Holiday won't have great streaming value. Also, […]
