Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (calf) is officially available for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. The big man is set to return after a 10-game absence due to a right calf issue.

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/16/23): NBA DFS Lineups

MLK Day is always a momentous one on the NBA calendar, and the majority of the games are usually in the earlier portion of the day. This year is no different, as there is a five-game main slate on DK and a six-game ledger on FD, with the latter including the Suns-Grizzlies evening matchup. There […]

Dejounte Murray Breaks Out Offensively

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray had one of his best scoring performances of the season on Saturday against Toronto, finishing a 114-103 victory with 27 points on 10-for-17 shooting.

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/14/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a smaller slate to work with in the NBA tonight, which is what we typically see on weekends. All six matchups are viable to target in DFS contests tonight, but we have a situation where the Pacers will be extremely shorthanded, and DraftKings didn't get around to pricing the rotational players up yet. […]

Onyeka Okongwu Dominates Against Pacers

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu took full advantage of Myles Turner's (back) absence on Friday and dominated under the rim against Indiana in a 113-111 win.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/13/23 - Monkey Knife Fight

The Lakers and Mavericks went to double-overtime last night and Damian Lillard dropped 50-points despite a tough loss to the Cavaliers. Thursday's late-games salvaged an underwhelming night in the NBA and the weekend kicks-off with a nine-game Friday slate. Only the Thunder are playing on the second night of a back-to-back and luckily for them, […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (1/13/22)

It's a Friday night slate full of injuries and a whole bunch of uncertainty surrounding which players will be active, which makes it incredibly difficult to handicap games in the morning before we have more clarity on injury designations. I am certainly not making excuses, but it certainly has stung recently when LeBron James and […]

Trae Young Ruled Out Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (illness) won't play on Wednesday against Milwaukee. He popped up on the injury report Wednesday morning with a non-COVID illness and Young hasn't managed to recover well enough to be ready to play. His absence sets the stage perfectly for Dejounte Murray to have a monster game. Murray's scoring […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/11/23 - Monkey Knife Fight

Rave about the high-scoring games all you want, I’m here for the free-throws. The Miami Heat converted, for the first time in NBA history, 100% of their 40 free-throw attempts and this isn’t the only notable ‘charity stripe’ narrative this season. Luka Doncic is slowly becoming notorious for his “missed” free-throws you can be sure […]

It's another one of these "medium-sized" slates in the NBA today with eight games in the Association. That's a good bit smaller than we are used to for a Wednesday, but it also means a more balanced schedule on Tuesday and Thursday as a result, which I am okay with I suppose. I'm only picking […]
