Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (2/28/22)

Saturday ended up being a 2-2 finish with the Grizzlies pulling out a big win late against the Bulls and the Heat-Spurs game going well over its total. I whiffed on the Cavs game total and the Raptors had my hopes up after they took a five-point lead in the first quarter, only to get […]

Eight games on this wonderful Sunday starting with two, inter-conference games carrying significant playoff implications. The new-look 76ers and Knicks kick everything off with a 1:00PM EST start, followed by the Jazz versus a Chris Paul-less Suns team.

It was a rough night for player props (0-3), but I went 3-1 on totals and spreads with the only miss there being a big whiff on the Raptors who got blown out by the Hornets. There were some sweaty moments in there as the Spurs needed three overtimes to finally put Washington away and […]

Last night the NBA returned from a week-long break and whet our appetites for basketball action.

Happy Friday RotoBallers! As usual, we have a jam-packed Friday night slate, filled with some juicy matchups.

Isaiah Jackson, Goga Bitadze Probable For Friday

Indiana Pacers centers Isaiah Jackson (ankle) and Goga Bitadze (foot) are listed as probable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Jackson has appeared in one game this month, but he was a fantasy asset when healthy. He should have no shortage of minutes, assuming he can stay healthy. Fantasy managers should check the […]

Malcolm Brogdon Listed As Probable For Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Brogdon has been taking part in recent practices and appears to be back on track to play on Friday.

Chris Duarte Tagged As Questionable For Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Chris Duarte (toe) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He missed the final two games before the All-Star break due to left big toe soreness. When he returns, Duarte could struggle to find consistent playing time in Indiana. The addition of Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield […]

It's been an entire week since we've had NBA games to wager on (unless, of course, you were betting on some All-Star weekend outcomes) and I'm sure you are as excited as I am to welcome back NBA basketball to our lives tonight. We have a rather juicy seven-game slate on tap tonight and as […]

Chris Duarte Unable To Finish Wednesday's Practice

Indiana Pacers guard Chris Duarte (toe) was unable to get through Wednesday's practice, according to head coach Rick Carlisle.

Isaiah Jackson Practices On Wednesday

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (ankle) was able to get through Wednesday's practice, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. Jackson played in one of the final eight games before the All-Star break. However, Jackson has plenty of upside with Myles Turner (foot) remaining sidelined. Jackson was playing well enough to roster in most formats, but […]

Myles Turner Not Close To A Return

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (foot) doesn't appear to be close to returning to the court. In fact, head coach Rick Carlisle mentioned Turner is still a few weeks away from returning. Turner hasn't played since mid-January and it doesn't sound like he'll be on the court anytime soon. Isaiah Jackson (ankle), Jalen Smith, and […]

Malcolm Brogdon Could Play Soon

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) appears to be in a good place and could return to the court. After Wednesday's practice, Brogdon mentioned that he's in a good place and would be playing if the team played today. He has only played in two games in 2022 due to a lingering Achilles injury. Although, […]

Buy-Low, Sell-High, NBA Fantasy Basketball Playoffs

All-Star weekend has come to a close, which means two things. One, and maybe most obvious, we're in the second half of the 2021-22 NBA season. Two, we're nearing the fantasy basketball playoffs, which is maybe not as obvious if you don't play the game, but that's likely why you're reading this article in the […]

We have a treat in store tonight as the 71st edition of the NBA All-Star Game will take place at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio. Karl-Anthony Towns won the Three-Point Contest and Obi Toppin took home the title in a wholly uninspiring Slam Dunk Contest on Saturday, but tonight features the real show as […]

Tristan Thompson Expected To Sign With Bulls

Indiana Pacers center Tristan Thompson has been waived by the organization. He was traded to Indiana at the deadline and didn't last long on the rebuilding Pacers. The Chicago Bulls are expected to sign Thompson once he clears waivers. This is a significant add to the Bulls roster. Nikola Vucevic has been playing nearly 40 […]

Isaiah Jackson Ruled Out On Wednesday

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. This marks the third game in a row that Jackson has missed due to a right ankle sprain. The hope is that Jackson will be able to return after the All-Star break. Until then, fantasy managers should expect […]

Malcolm Brogdon Remains Out On Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. This doesn't come as a surprise since this is the last game before the All-Star break. The hope is that Brogdon will be able to return after the break.

It was a total mixed bag of results in yesterday's column and an overall mark of 3-3. The Cavs really let me down and you know I watched every minute of that game waiting for them to take control late, but it was just the opposite as Trae Young had a terrific night, and guys […]

Well, they say that all good things have to come to an end, right? The cruel reality that you can't win every night reared its ugly head last night as I went 0-4 with the first goose egg that I've taken in a few weeks. The Spurs hurt the most as they led or within […]
