FanDuel NBA DFS Picks for Today (Wednesday 12/4/24): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

It's an unusually light slate for a Wednesday tonight with just six NBA games.

Jimmy Butler Sits Out Monday's Action

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) will miss Monday's battle against Boston. Miami completes a back-to-back set, and its veteran star gets the night off due to knee soreness.

Kevin Love Ruled Out On Monday

Miami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (back) continues to deal with back spasms and has been ruled out for the team's Monday night contest against the Boston Celtics. He was able to play in their last two games but only registered 13 and nine minutes respectively. With Love out of the rotation, it shouldn't cause that […]
