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.

Most of tonight’s nine games are expected to be relatively competitive. The only spread greater than 10-points is Nuggets-Pacers and that’s not a surprise to anyone.

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.

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/15/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We have another smaller slate in the NBA tonight with an exciting five-gamer featuring the 76ers-Lakers nightcap. For DFS purposes, the Kings-Spurs matchup stands out far above the rest, as the 245.5-point implied total is a full 11 points ahead of the next-highest total game. It also projects to be the fastest-paced game and features […]

Myles Turner To Miss Saturday's Game

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The big man will miss his third straight game due to back spasms. His absence will mean that Isaiah Jackson will slide into the starting five once again. Jackson is coming off a seven-block performance, so his defense […]

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. […]

Myles Turner Questionable With Back Spasms On Friday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (back) has been tagged as questionable against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday with back spasms. The 26-year-old was unable to suit up for the team's last contest on Wednesday for the same reason. If he has to miss a second game, Jalen Smith will see an increase in usage with […]

Tyrese Haliburton Will Miss At Least Two Weeks

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (knee, elbow) will be re-evaluated in the next two weeks after being diagnosed with a left elbow sprain and mild left knee contusion.

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 […]

Real or Fake? Fantasy Basketball Players Whose Stats Will Regress In 2023

With the NBA season nearing its halfway point, we have a pretty healthy sample size when it comes to player stats. Rather than relying solely on offseason speculation, gut feelings, and hot takes, we now have hard data to form our opinions on. Sure, the majority of a player's counting stats will likely remain the […]

T.J. McConnell Available Against New York

Indiana Pacers point guard T.J. McConnell (shoulder) is available to play Wednesday against the New York Knicks.

Indiana Pacers guard Aaron Nesmith (illness) will sit Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. Nesmith popped up on the injury report with a non-COVID illness before being ruled out Wednesday.

T.J. McConnell Questionable On Wednesday

Indiana Pacers point guard T.J. McConnell (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Knicks.

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 […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 13: Kevon Looney, Daniel Gafford, Alec Burks

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 […]

Myles Turner Has A Big Impact At Both Ends Sunday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner led all scorers with 29 points and had four blocks in Sunday's 116-111 win over Charlotte.
