As we move into game two in each of the conference semifinals, I have to say that I wasn't suprised by the results in game one of any of these series. The Bucks' road win on Sunday afternoon was the only true "upset" and I am still trying to figure out why they were underdogs […]

Luka Doncic Scores 45 Points In Game 1 Loss

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic had a massive game in a losing effort against the Phoenix Suns in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semi-Finals on Monday. He scored a game-high 45 points while adding 12 rebounds, eight assists and a block. He shot 15-for-30 from the field and connected on four of his […]

Maxi Kleber Suffers Back Injury In Monday's Loss

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (back) took a hard fall onto his back during Game 1 of the team's series against the Phoenix Suns on Monday. He was able to play through the injury and had a fantastic scoring game, hitting 5-of-8 three-pointers while scoring 19 points, second-most on the team. After the game, while […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (5/2/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

The NBA playoffs roll on Monday with a second set of second-round games. The two-game slate narrows our player pool plenty, but Monday, it's even more sparse on star power when factoring Joel Embiid's and Kyle Lowry's confirmed absences, as well as a possible one on the part of Jimmy Butler due to his knee […]

Day one of the second round of the NBA Playoffs is in the books and got both of the outcomes we were hoping for as the Bucks stomped the Celtics as underdogs, winning us our spread and ML bet while the Warriors were able to hang on to beat Memphis in a nail-biter. It turns […]

The first round of the NBA Playoffs has come and gone and we had no surprises as the top-seeded teams all won and we didn't even see a game seven in a single series. Boston was the only team to sweep, while the Bucks, Heat, and Warriors all finished off their opponents in five games. […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/29/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

There is only one NBA game tonight and it's  the first time we have had only one game all postseason! That means we don't have a conventional NBA DFS slate, but we do have single-game contests on both FanDuel and DraftKings (where they cool kids call it Showdown!) Hey, everyone, I'm "Thunder Dan" Palyo and […]

Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! We could be playing our last three-game slate of the NBA DFS season, depending on tonight's results. While the playoffs get better as we get deeper into the postseason, it becomes slim pickings in DFS land. So, cards on the table, I'm cheering for all three home teams to win and give […]

After a sub-par night of bets on Tuesday night, I needed a day off yesterday to clear my head, get some rest, and if we are being honest - focus on baseball for a bit. Round one is winding down as the Heat clinched their series on Tuesday while the Bucks and Warriors both cashed […]

All in all, it was a pretty good night! The Celtics won outright at plus money and finished off their sweep of the Nets while the Mavericks dominated the Jazz and in dismantling them, held them to 72 total points so we hit the spread AND the total there. Both of our Mavs' wings hit […]

Luka Doncic Finishes With 33 Points

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic had seemingly no issues against the Utah Jazz during Monday's Game 5 matchup. The All-Star guard hit 11-of-22 shots for 33 points, 13 rebounds, and five assists in the blowout victory. That being said, Doncic was able to get some rest in the fourth quarter due to the fact the […]

The NBA playoffs continued to get more intriguing over the weekend, and we're now set for a three-game slate Monday night. There's a bit of everything on the ledger -- the Celtics could pull off the clean sweep of the Nets, the 76ers have a chance to also advance after dropping Game 4 to the […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (4/25/22)

We are back to three-game slates this week and at some point probably some two gamers as the Sixers, Warriors, Heat, Bucks, and Celtics all have a chance to finish their series in the next few days with a win. Sunday was a mixed bag of results. I did hit the over in two of […]

Frank Ntilikina Questionable For Game 5

Dallas Mavericks guard Frank Ntilikina (illness) is questionable ahead of Monday's playoff meeting against Utah. The 23-year-old hasn't seen any action since the beginning of April after undergoing a tonsillectomy. Yet, with Luka Doncic recently returning from a calf strain, Ntilikina shouldn't get any playing time if he is available, despite the chance he could […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/24/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

The first round of the NBA playoffs has been a lot of fun to watch and the way these games have been scheduled, with three or four games every day has led to some excellent DFS slates, too. Today, we have four more games as Game Four in each of the series kicks off and […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (4/24/22)

It was a great day of NBA basketball yesterday and that's not just because I won more bets than I lost either. All the games were pretty tight right up to the end and I nearly pulled off the sweep on picking sides until the Grizzlies lost in the late game. Dallas should have won […]

Frank Ntilikina Ruled Out For Game 4

Dallas Mavericks guard Frank Ntilikina (illness) has been ruled out for Game 4 against the Utah Jazz on Saturday. Ntilikina hasn't suited up since April 8 due to a non-COVID related illness. His absence won't make an impact on the Mavericks rotation. Luckily, Luka Doncic (calf) has been cleared to play. Jalen Brunson and Spencer […]

Luka Doncic Will Play In Game 4

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (calf) will be available for Saturday's Game 4 matchup against the Utah Jazz. The All-Star guard was expected to play here after missing the first three games of this series. Luckily, Jalen Brunson has picked up the slack and helped the Mavs take a 2-1 series lead. It's uncertain if […]

Luka Doncic Upgraded Ahead Of Game 4

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (calf) is considered probable ahead of the Game 4 playoff outing against the Jazz. The 23-year-old hasn't been available this postseason because of a left calf strain, although it remains possible he won't receive his usual workload. As a result, Jalen Brunson, who has averaged 32 points during the series […]

Friday night's game featured two games that came down to the wire and one big ole' Bucks blowout. The Miami Heat choked away game three in the fourth quarter, costing me a chance at going 3-0 on sides last night and busting up my parlays. Jimmy Butler took some ill-advised shots on the final two […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/23/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

Four matchups on tap in the Association today, kicking off with a Sixers-Raptors contest that figures to be a relative snoozer compared to the rest of the slate. The Mavericks-Jazz affair is also not profiling as an appealing game to target for daily fantasy, but Luka Doncic is looking to make his return and we […]

Luka Doncic Questionable For Game 4 On Saturday

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (calf) is listed as questionable for Saturday's Game 4 against the Utah Jazz. Doncic has yet to appear in a game this postseason due to a left calf strain. According to Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd, Doncic went through a full practice on Friday and he is lined up […]

Frank Ntilikina Questionable For Game 4

Dallas Mavericks guard Frank Ntilikina (illness) is questionable ahead of the Game 4 postseason outing versus Utah. The 23-year-old is recovering from a tonsillectomy and hasn't played in a few weeks. However, even if Ntilikina is available and Luka Doncic (calf) isn't, the 2017 No. 8 overall pick shouldn't be an attractive option for DFS […]

Jalen Brunson Drops Team-High 31 Points In Victory

Dallas Mavericks point/shooting guard Jalen Brunson led the way offensively during the team's pivotal Game 3 series win Thursday, dropping a team-best 31 points on 12-for-22 shooting, including knocking down all seven of his free throws. Without Luka Doncic (calf) available, Brunson has emerged as the team's focal point and primary ballhandler, as he led […]

Frank Ntilikina Out On Thursday Night

Dallas Mavericks guard Frank Ntilikina (illness) won't play on Thursday during the Game 3 matchup versus Utah. Ntilikina continues to recover from a tonsillectomy, although he wasn't expected to have much of a role in the lineup anyway, even with Luka Doncic (calf) out with a left calf strain. Nonetheless, there's a chance the 23-year-old […]

Luka Doncic Ruled Out For Game 3

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (calf) won't play on Thursday night against Utah. The 23-year-old has already missed the first two games of the series because of a left calf strain. However, despite the team being hopeful he would be back by now, it appears Jalen Brunson and Spencer Dinwiddie will once again be running […]

We're primed for yet another three-game playoff slate tonight and another solid NBA DFS slate. We have three game threes on the docket tonight! The Memphis-Minnesota series is knotted 1-1 heading into game three as is the Utah-Dallas series. Meanwhile, the Nuggets are fighting for their playoffs lives as they come home down 0-2 to […]

Last night featured three really great games and I hope you take a minute to realize just how good these first-round games have been so far. I was sweating the Celtics in the first half, but sure enough, they found a way to battle back and win (and cover) in the second half. Al Horford […]

Mavs Optimistic Luka Doncic Will Return For Game 3

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (calf) has yet to play during the postseason series against the Utah Jazz. He's currently sidelined with a strained left calf. Yet, the team remains hopeful he will return for Game 3. For now, fantasy managers should officially consider Doncic as day-to-day. However, if he can't suit up on Thursday […]

I have officially rebuked the Denver Nuggets and Nikola Jokic. My night was cruising right along with the Mavericks not only covering their spread but winning outright AND going over their team total. Jalen Brunson crushed his prop in the process, too. Then the Sixers took care of business and wiped out the Raptors to […]
