Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (12/12/22)

It's a relatively small slate today with only seven games, but it's going to be a great week as we don't really have any dead nights. Both Tuesday (5) and Thursday (4) have more games than usual and that is going to lead to what should be a great week for betting on NBA basketball. […]

Fantasy Basketball Buy, Sell, Hold: De'Aaron Fox and D'Angelo Russell

Trading in fantasy basketball can help you improve your team in the short as well as long term. More than that, it's just plain fun. Negotiating with your mate, going back and forth with offers, and hopefully reaching a mutually beneficial agreement in the end. It's not always easy to find the right deal that […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/12/22): NBA DFS Lineups

We're set for a solid seven-game slate Monday night, one that many might consider an ideal size for the purposes of building tournament lineups in particular.

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 9: Shake Milton, Jose Alvarado, Moritz Wagner

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 […]

Early-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 9

I thought last week's schedule was solid, but this week, we have probably the most balanced schedule that we have seen this year with no more than 10 games (10 on Wednesday) on any day this week and a really strong middle of the week with five games on Tuesday and four on Thursday. That […]

Malik Beasley (SG, UTA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of leagues ANALYSIS: The lovely Jordan Clarkson's legacy as Salt Lake City's very own Microwave Player is still alive and well, folks. Not until the Utah Jazz decide it is time for (finally and once and for all) tanking their way toward landing Wemby, Malik […]

Bennedict Mathurin (SF, IND) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of leagues ANALYSIS: I guess I will just assume Bennedict Mathurin's rostership will never break the 60-percent barrier in his rookie season. If it hasn't at this point, it just never will ROS even if that doesn't make sense at all. Mathurin keeps playing off-the-pine minutes […]

Killian Hayes (PG, DET) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS: The rostership is starting to rise as fantasy GMs have finally realized Killian Hayes is worth the dough. About time, folks. Cade Cunningham isn't even close to returning (even if he decides to do so at all, which would make little to […]

Tyrese Haliburton Leads All Scorers With 35 Points

Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton had a big 35-point night in Saturday's loss to Brooklyn, shooting 12-for-15 from the field, including a fantastic 7-for-8 from deep.

Isaiah Jackson Returns For Pacers Saturday

Indiana Pacers forward/center Isaiah Jackson (knee) has been cleared to play Saturday versus Brooklyn. He sat out Friday's meeting with Washington due to left knee soreness, but the team will welcome him back against the short-handed Nets. Jackson has averaged 7.3 points per game with 4.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks as Myles Turner's backup this […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/10/22): NBA DFS Lineups

It's a glorious Saturday and the NBA has treated us with seven games for the main slate tonight. The Celtics-Warriors game should be a gold mine for DFS production, but don't sleep on the Jazz-Nuggets affair as that one is projecting to be a shootout. Half of the teams in action are playing in the […]

Buddy Hield Does It All For Pacers In Friday's Win

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Buddy Hield produced a very good all-around performance in Friday's win over Washington, scoring a season-high 28 points on 12-for-19 shooting and collecting two rebounds and four assists with three steals and one block. He had only one turnover in 35 minutes on the floor and shot 4-for-10 from downtown. Hield has […]

Myles Turner Uncertain For Friday's Game

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (hamstring) has been tagged as questionable. He's dealing with right hamstring soreness at the moment. He was able to play the full game on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves so it seems to be some lingering pain that might be going on. If he's unable to play, Jalen Smith will […]

Isaiah Jackson Questionable With Knee Soreness

Indiana Pacers forward Isaiah Jackson (knee) officially received the questionable tag on the injury report due to right knee soreness. He's only missed one game so far this season, so he's been able to play through any bumps and bruises that he's experienced so far. He hasn't exactly taken the jump that a lot of […]

Buddy Hield Scores 26 Points In Loss

Indiana Pacers forward Buddy Hield tied Tyrese Haliburton for a team-high 26 points in Wednesday's loss to Minnesota. Hield shot an effective 7-for-11 from deep in this one.

Tyrese Haliburton Plays Well In Return From Injury

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton finished with 26 points, 15 assists, and three steals during Wednesday's loss to Minnesota.

However, he didn't miss a beat, going 9-for-14 from the field while missing only four of his nine tries […]

Myles Turner To Play Wednesday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (hamstring) will play during Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Turner missed their last game, but appears good to go here.

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (groin) is available for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has missed each of the last two games due to left groin soreness.

T.J. McConnell Tagged As Questionable On Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard T.J. McConnell (illness) has gotten the official questionable tag for the team's contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night. He was listed as questionable for their last game with the same non-COVID illness and ended up not being able to play. He's remained day-to-day and still has a chance to play. […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/7/22): NBA DFS Lineups

We've got a typically robust 11-game Wednesday night slate on tap, and even with some notable injuries thinning the player pool a bit, there are still plenty of appealing selections to work with at different price points, as well as nine games with projected totals of 225 points or more. There are some very good […]

Myles Turner Questionable Against The Timberwolves

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (hamstring) is questionable ahead of Wednesday's meeting in Minnesota.

T.J. McConnell, James Johnson Earn Questionable Tags Monday

Indiana Pacers point guard T.J. McConnell (illness) and power forward James Johnson (elbow) have been deemed questionable to play in Monday's game against the Warriors. McConnell would be in line for a sizable workload if cleared with Tyrese Haliburton (groin) -- the league's leading assists man -- down for the time being; if McConnell is […]
