NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/17/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

It’s a wonderful Monday with basketball starting early. There are 12 games on the slate and the first game between the Celtics and Pelicans starts at 12:30EST. Any game that showcases Brandon Ingram, Jaylen Brown, and Jayson Tatum is going to provide plenty of entertainment and the last time one of these players scored under […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (1/17/22)

It's one of the biggest days of the season in the NBA as the league has established a tradition of games spread out all day long on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Whether you're off work today and get a chance to watch some basketball, or you have to wait until the evening to catch […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 14

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 […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14 - Amir Coffey, Trey Lyles, Kevon Looney, Marvin Bagley III, Dennis Smith Jr.

Welcome back to the waiver wire! Need to bolster your flailing team? We've got you covered. Maybe. We'll see. These recommendations are mainly for 9-cat leagues, but if you play in another format, there's a good chance that the information here can still help you. We'll be looking at centers, forwards, and guards whose low rostership […]

Bam Adebayo Targeting Monday For Return

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (thumb) is targeting Monday against the Toronto Raptors as a return date. It has been roughly six weeks since Adebayo last took the court. Luckily, Omer Yurtseven and Dewayne Dedmon have helped fill the void while Adebayo has been sidelined. Yurtseven is averaging 10.3 points, 13.8 rebounds, and 1.1 steals […]

Jimmy Butler Is Available Against Hawks

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) will return to the lineup for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He makes his return to the court after missing each of the last three games due to a right ankle sprain. It's assumed that Butler will play his normal amount of minutes here. That being said, Caleb […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/14/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

Friday’s nine game slate doesn’t consist of the highest point totals, but look at the projected lineups for each game and you’ll notice that most of the teams playing are surprisingly healthy aside from the Warriors missing their most important player. As we saw yesterday, Golden State without Draymond Green does not have a chance […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (1/14/22)

I am back at it today despite a brutal 0-3 day on Wednesday. Those days will happen and it's always important to remember it's a marathon, not a sprint, right? You have to be able to handle the lows that come with the highs and it's all part of the territory when it comes to […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/14/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We have a pretty full Friday with nine games in the Association. Teams are still racked with injuries and COVID, so make sure to check out our injury news. Most of the big stars will be in lineups tonight, with the notable exceptions of Draymond, Klay Thompson, Bam, Kristaps Porzingis, and Clint Capela. That's much […]

Jimmy Butler Earns Questionable Tag For Friday’s Game

Miami Heat small forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) has been deemed questionable to play in Friday's contest vs. Philadelphia due to a sprained right ankle. Butler has missed each of Miami's past three games, which has allowed Caleb Martin to take on more minutes and Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, and others to have larger offensive roles. […]

Dewayne Dedmon Returns To Action

Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Dedmon has missed each of the last seven games while dealing with a left MCL sprain. He was offering low-end value before going down, but Omer Yurtseven has stepped up in his absence. That being said, it's uncertain how big […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/12/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

Wednesday isn't just "Hump Day," it's one of the best days for NBA DFS and we have an excellent nine-game slate on tap tonight with some really juicy games that we can target. I do my NBA DFS game value ratings every day and I posted them earlier on Twitter, where I noted that we […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/12/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

Nine games Wednesday with just two teams playing on the second night of a back-to-back. The Wizards are without Bradley Beal for another week, but Thomas Bryant is, potentially, hours away from a much-needed return. Daniel Gafford has been anchoring the paint in his absence, but playing the Thunder last night exposed his weakness of […]

Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 13: Hassan Whiteside, Matisse Thybulle, Furkan Korkmaz, Lonnie Walker IV

If you're one of those fantasy basketball players that sets a lineup at the beginning of the week, checks out, and then comes back seven days later to see how things shook out, this post is not for you. This is for those who are grinding through each day and keeping track of categories as […]

Jimmy Butler Will Miss Third Straight Game Wednesday

Miami Heat small forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Atlanta, marking his third consecutive absence due to a sprained right ankle. Max Strus has stepped into the starting five in place of Butler and combined for 39 points over his last two outings, giving him significant DFS appeal. Tyler […]

Markieff Morris Lands In League’s COVID-19 Protocols

Miami Heat power forward Markieff Morris has been placed in the league's health and safety protocols, ruling him out indefinitely while he also deals with a bout of whiplash that has sidelined him since Nov. 8. Even when healthy, Morris figures to fight and claw for minutes in Miami's frontcourt, a situation that likely allows […]

NBA Waiver Wire Streamers for Fantasy Basketball Week 13 (Jan 10 - Jan 16)

Hi there my fellow fantasy NBA fanatics. Another week is ahead of us and as the playoffs are drawing near there's a growing sense of urgency for most of us to win our matchups. And what better way to increase our chances than to maximize our games played, and focus on categories we believe will […]

Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 13: Onyeka Okongwu, Terrence Ross, Hamidou Diallo, Cedi Osman, Patrick Beverley, De'Anthony Melton

We've had some ridiculous value in the past few weeks with guys like Herb Jones, Malik Monk, Cameron Johnson, and Coby White putting up second-round total value or better over the past two weeks. Two of those guys were in last week's streamers by the way, so we aren't doing too badly! Speaking of, I'm […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/9/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

It's time for another enticing Sunday slate, RotoBallers. We have a larger-than-usual eight-gamer on tap tonight and there are a ton of ways to approach this slate with value still abundant and a solid mix of appealing DFS environments in play. The SAC/POR and MEM/LAL matchups project as exciting late-slate games to target, while MIN/HOU, […]

Jimmy Butler Officially Out On Saturday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) has been officially ruled out for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He did carry a questionable tag into this contest, so maybe he's able to get out there for their next contest. His next chance to get out there would be Wednesday, so fantasy managers should check back […]

Gabe Vincent Clears Protocols, Remains Out Saturday

Miami Heat point guard Gabe Vincent has tested out of the league's health and safety protocols, but he has not yet been cleared to return to action, ruling him out for Saturday's game vs. Phoenix. Vincent's absence now climbs to five contests, with his timing unfortunate after he had cracked the starting five for nine […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/8/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

Welcome, RotoBallers. We have a small five-game slate on tap tonight, which is a huge helper since we (still) have an abundance of COVID and injury concerns to wade through on a nightly basis in the NBA. The hardest-hit team on Saturday's main slate is undoubtedly the Utah Jazz, who currently have their top eight […]

Duncan Robinson Upgraded To Questionable

Miami Heat guard Duncan Robinson has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Robinson is currently in the league's health and safety protocols, but has a chance of clearing them on Wednesday. The Heat could certainly use his help with Jimmy Butler (ankle) ruled out. Otherwise, Tyler Herro and Max […]

Max Strus Not Listed On Injury Report

Miami Heat guard Max Strus is not listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He has been sidelined due to COVID-19 protocols but has built up his conditioning enough to return on Wednesday. It comes at a great time with Jimmy Butler (ankle) already ruled out. That means […]

Monday I kept it to only two picks and a teaser and we went 1-1 as the Grizzlies took care of business but the Miami-Golden State game went over its total and the Rockets totally collapsed in the fourth quarter to lose by 20 points. We live to fight another day and there just happens […]

Welcome to the first NBA Best Bets of the new year!
