NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/12/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

Nine games Wednesday with just two teams playing on the second night of a back-to-back. The Wizards are without Bradley Beal for another week, but Thomas Bryant is, potentially, hours away from a much-needed return. Daniel Gafford has been anchoring the paint in his absence, but playing the Thunder last night exposed his weakness of […]

James Harden, Kyrie Irving Questionable To Play Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets point guard James Harden (knee) and point/shooting guard Kyrie Irving (ankle) have both been deemed questionable to suit up for Wednesday's contest against the Bulls.

Hope you all enjoyed your "Klay Day" yesterday. We're starting to get some familiar names back into the fold, like Klay Thompson and Thomas Bryant. Who is worth a stash?

LaMarcus Aldridge Will Miss Second Straight Outing

Brooklyn Nets center LaMarcus Aldridge (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Portland, his second consecutive contest missed vs. a franchise he once suited up for. Aldridge has combined to play just 25 minutes over Brooklyn's last five outings, with Nicolas Claxton having seized starting duties. Dayron Sharpe was a strong contributor off […]

James Harden Will Miss Monday’s Contest

Brooklyn Nets point guard James Harden (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Portland due to a left knee hyperextension. Harden's absence paves the way for Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant to carry higher DFS upsides, while Patty Mills figures to remain a prominent member of the starting unit. Harden logged 44 minutes […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/10/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

A new week is officially upon us! Unlike season-long fantasy basketball, there is no scouring of waiver wires in hopes of securing this week's top player. Instead, we simply get to set a lineup, sit back, relax, and enjoy a seven-game slate of NBA hoops. The only thing better than NBA DFS is winning money […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/10 - Monkey Knife Fight

Klay Thompson’s 17-point return to action was an ideal cap to another entertaining weekend of basketball. Monday features seven games, five out-of-conference matchups and six teams playing on the second night of a back-to-back. Even though the Nets played yesterday at home, traveling to Portland means Kyrie Irving is available. With more updates bound to […]

Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 13: Onyeka Okongwu, Terrence Ross, Hamidou Diallo, Cedi Osman, Patrick Beverley, De'Anthony Melton

We've had some ridiculous value in the past few weeks with guys like Herb Jones, Malik Monk, Cameron Johnson, and Coby White putting up second-round total value or better over the past two weeks. Two of those guys were in last week's streamers by the way, so we aren't doing too badly! Speaking of, I'm […]

Nicolas Claxton (C, BKN): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues ANALYSIS: Even with all of the drama surrounding Kyrie Irving's situation, the Nets can't really complain that much about their health bill these days: only Kyrie (because of his home/away availability issues, though) and Joe Harris (ankle surgery) are out and sitting on […]

Patty Mills (PG/SG, BKN): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of leagues ANALYSIS: The best fantasy GMs have always said that leagues aren't won by draft day, but rather through the in-season waiver-wire management. And they could very well be right, considering fools out there are still passing on Patty Mills and his half-Yahoo availability. […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Questionable Against Spurs

Brooklyn Nets center LaMarcus Aldridge (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. This might be more of a rest day than anything else for the veteran big man. His playing time has been decreasing lately with the Nets getting more healthy. That being said, Nicolas Claxton is likely to […]

Patty Mills Rejoins Starting Five Friday

Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard Patty Mills has been elevated back into the starting lineup for Friday's contest vs. Milwaukee after a one-game stint on the bench with Kyrie Irving active for the team's road outing. David Duke Jr. will be sticking in the starting group as well, although he holds minimal fantasy intrigue when the […]

Happy Friday RotoBallers! As usual, we have a jam-packed Friday night slate, filled with some juicy matchups. These articles focus on the overall best plays, which are typically more suited for cash games. However, with larger slates like this one, you don't have to worry about ownership getting steamed up too hard usually, so consider […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Available For Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets center LaMarcus Aldridge (foot) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He sat out of Monday's game due to right foot soreness. His absence led to Nicolas Claxton moving into the starting five. However, Claxton probably isn't worth rostering anymore with Aldridge cleared to play. The veteran big man will […]

Kyrie Irving Returns Wednesday, Will Play Around 30 Minutes

Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard Kyrie Irving will make his season debut during Wednesday's matchup vs. the Pacers, with the seven-time All-Star expected to play around 30 minutes. Brooklyn will have its triumvirate of Irving, James Harden, and Kevin Durant all active for the first time all year, although the group has consistently proven to still […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (1/5/21)

Monday I kept it to only two picks and a teaser and we went 1-1 as the Grizzlies took care of business but the Miami-Golden State game went over its total and the Rockets totally collapsed in the fourth quarter to lose by 20 points. We live to fight another day and there just happens […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/5 - Monkey Knife Fight

Wednesday hits us with a massive 11-game slate and there are only two teams playing on the second night of a back-to-back. The Sacramento Kings lost to the Lakers last night and host the Atlanta Hawks one game after Trae Young scored 56 points on 26 shots. While Sacramento's rotation looks sustainable for the first […]

DraftKings and FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/3/22): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

We're set for a robust Monday night slate that thankfully doesn't have an inordinate amount of top-end players set to miss due to COVID-19 protocols, giving us a strong player pool to work with. With less absences than usual compared to recent weeks, we have a better opportunity to achieve true balance salary-wise while selecting […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/3 - Monkey Knife Fight

This weekend featured plenty of exciting games, but throughout all 13 games, only one player scored 50 points. Jaylen Brown was unstoppable against the Magic and even though Orlando had the opportunity to win this game outright, their defense had no answer and seemingly no adjustments within the second half of the game. Boston doesn't […]

Welcome to the first NBA Best Bets of the new year!

Hope everyone had a fantastic holiday season, but I'm back and ready to keep kicking butt in fantasy basketball. We're getting into the true grind of the season where things get kind of boring and predictable, only we're dealing with COVID so nothing is like that ever. Still, there should be value to have here […]

Kevin Durant Expected To Play Thursday

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant is expected to suit up for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Both Durant and LaMarcus Aldridge plan to play in this contest, according to head coach Steve Nash. That being said, Bruce Brown should see his value take a significant hit. Patty Mills won't see as much usage either, which is […]
