NBA DFS Prop Picks for PrizePicks: Wednesday, March 23rd

Wednesday hits us with a heavy, 11-game slate, so expect more selections to come out as the day goes on. With few projections coming early today, it’s good to see most of the Brooklyn Nets already available, but with other potentially high-scoring affairs like 76ers-Lakers, Suns-Timberwolves, and Pacers-Kings yet to be posted, don’t feel inclined […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (3/23/22)

Things went south on Monday night in a hurry and I was quickly reminded that the range of outcomes in the NBA is only going to continue to widen here in the final weeks. My picks went 3-4 but I really struggled ATS with the T-Wolves being my only hit there as they narrowly lost […]

LeBron James, Talen Horton-Tucker Questionable For Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers power forward/center LeBron James (knee) and shooting guard/small forward Talen Horton-Tucker (ankle) have picked up questionable tags for Wednesday's game against Philadelphia. James' questionable tag is perfunctory at this stage, especially after he dropped a 38-point triple-double across 41 minutes in Cleveland on Monday. Horton-Tucker has missed two of L.A.'s last three […]

LeBron James Delivers Massive Triple-Double In Cleveland

Los Angeles Lakers power forward/center LeBron James has not won a scoring title since the 2007-08 season, while he was a member of the Cavaliers.

Talen Horton-Tucker Out Against Cleveland

Los Angeles Lakers forward Talen Horton-Tucker (ankle) won't suit up for Monday's matchup against Cleveland.

Wenyen Gabriel Is Questionable For Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Wenyen Gabriel (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards. Normally, Gabriel isn't relevant in fantasy formats, but has played well with the Lakers. He is coming off a 17-point performance during Friday's contest. He could have some streaming appeal if he gets another start here. Otherwise, […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/19/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We're looking at an awkward three-game weekend slate in the NBA tonight, one where half of the teams are coming in on the second half of a back-to-back and none of the matchups really stand out from the pack. The Pistons-Cavaliers matchup, at least on paper, profiles as the one to shy away from the […]

LeBron James Drops 36 Points, Nears Scoring-List Climb

Los Angeles Lakers power forward/center LeBron James continued his stretch of dominance during an overtime victory Friday over the Raptors, in which he stacked up 36 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists across 45 minutes.

Talen Horton-Tucker Exits Early On Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Talen Horton-Tucker (ankle) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

LeBron James Questionable For Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 21: Naz Reid, Max Strus, Serge Ibaka, Bones Hyland, Jordan McLaughlin

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/13/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

It's back to the typical smaller weekend slate tonight as we have five games on tap in the association. The Pacers-Hawks affair projects to be the highest-scoring game on the slate with a 236.5-point implied total, but the Rockets-Pelicans, Lakers-Suns, and Grizzlies-Thunder matchups all offer their fair share of fantasy intrigue as well. The 76ers […]

Los Angeles Lakers guard Malik Monk (shoulder) is good to go for Friday's contest against the Washington Wizards.

Monk has logged at least 29 minutes in each […]

Talen Horton-Tucker Gets The Green Light Versus Wizards

Los Angeles Lakers forward Talen Horton-Tucker (ankle) will be in the lineup for Friday's encounter against Washington. Horton-Tucker missed the team's previous bout with Houston because of a left ankle sprain.

LeBron James Will Play Versus Washington
