NBA DFS Prop Picks for 11/2/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

For anyone looking to bet on the 76ers and Wizards tonight, remember that the game starts an hour earlier than normal with the rest of the slate continuing at 6:30 and proceeding as any other night. While projections pre-determine that Philadelphia will be hosting the lowest scoring game of the night, that puts both Knicks-Hawks […]

Onyeka Okongwu Questionable Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (shoulder) is listed as questionable to play Wednesday against the New York Knicks. Okongwu is experiencing some soreness in his left shoulder and is danger of missing his first game of the season.

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 3: Bol Bol, Max Strus, Jaylen Nowell

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/30/22): NBA DFS Lineups

It's a fine Sunday and we have a solid seven-game slate on tap in the NBA tonight. The Timberwolves-Spurs matchup has the highest implied total and rates out the best in my model, but as you can see in the 'Team Rankings,' the Suns and Warriors both rank ahead of those two squads for daily […]

Trae Young Drops 42 Points In A Losing Effort

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young notched a season-high 42 points against Milwaukee on Saturday, but he couldn't save his team from a 123-115 loss. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday each had 34 points and Young needed more support offensively. The Hawks star made half of his 10 shot attempts from deep and finished with […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 10/28/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

With basketball fully underway, the early season trends are starting to have some merit. Some teams have made early adjustments, some haven’t.

Justin Holiday Available On Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Justin Holiday (illness) is available for Wednesday's contest against Detroit.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 10/26/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

Wednesday kicks off with Paolo Banchero and the Magic traveling to Cleveland to take on the Donovan Mitchell-led Cavaliers, two projects that have yielded positive results early.

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/26/22): NBA DFS Lineups

We're set for a typically robust 10-game Wednesday night slate, one that gives us no shortage of appealing options across the salary cap.

Trae Young Scores Game-High 28 Points In Loss

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young may have had a rough shooting night, but he still ended as the game-high scorer.

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (10/19/22)

Last night, the NBA returned in a big way as the Celtics pulled out a high-scoring win over the Sixers and the defending champion Warriors dominated the Lakers.

Trae Young Misses Practice Due To Illness

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (illness) missed practice on Tuesday due to feeling under the weather. This doesn't seem to be a cause for concern for the star guard to miss their season-opening game. If the illness is more serious than portrayed, that would mean a bigger role for Dejounte Murray and more minutes for […]
