Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (groin) has received another questionable tag heading into Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings.

We're back to the typical small weekend slate after we were treated with an outlier nine-game slate last night.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 34% of leagues ANALYSIS: Let's all give a round of applause to Tyrese Maxey for his candid concession to our boy De'Anthony Melton.

Karl-Anthony Towns Remains Without A Return Date

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) remains out indefinitely, according to head coach Chris Finch. KAT continues to battle a right calf strain, an injury that has caused him to miss over two months. Fantasy managers are certainly hoping he'll be back sooner rather than later. However, even if Towns returns soon, he'll likely need […]

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Streamers: Week 15

It's an unconventional finish to the week in Week 15 of the NBA schedule. It's nice having 6 games tonight on a Thursday, but then we have a very odd flip tomorrow with only five games on a Friday and then 11 on Saturday. Sunday then wraps up the week with only four games. Most […]

D'Angelo Russell Matches Season High With 30 Points

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard D'Angelo Russell took advantage of a favorable matchup and matched his season high with 30 points Monday against Houston. He was on fire from deep with a 6-for-12 effort and shot 11-for-23 from the field, although it wasn't good enough to save Minnesota from being the first team the Rockets have […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (1/23/23)

Friday's results reminded me of the iconic one-liner delivered by Sam Elliott's cowboy character in the cult classic The Big Lebowski. "Sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes the bar eats you." I had been on a nice little roll last week, but every pick I made Friday flopped and I was humbled once again […]

The injury report fortunately isn't overly […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 15: Tyus Jones, Josh Richardson, Immanuel Quickley

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 […]

Jordan McLaughlin Remains Unavailable

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jordan McLaughlin (calf) will sit out a 24th consecutive game on Monday versus Houston. He's trying to overcome a left calf strain and it unfortunately isn't going well, with Minnesota head coach Chris Finch recently saying that McLaughlin's return isn't coming anytime soon. The 26-year-old had a couple of encouraging outings […]

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Taurean Prince (ankle) is questionable for Monday's encounter with the Rockets.

Rudy Gobert Listed As Questionable Monday

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/22/23): NBA DFS Lineups

There are four games on the DraftKings main slate tonight, but FanDuel did its own thing (what's new) and has included the earlier Knicks-Raptors game in their main slate schedule. That game should be competitive, but its 222-point implied total is the lowest on the slate by a wide margin, and I'm not loving targeting […]

Immanuel Quickley (PG, NYK) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: While it is true that Tom Thibodeau has moved from an early-season 10-man rotation to a 9-man one since mid-December, there is a deeper truth baked into that: it's really a six-man rotation with three ancillary reserves added to it. And the […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: The last time I checked (Sunday morning), Rudy Gobert was labeled a "game-time decision" in the Wolves' injury report while teammate Karl-Anthony Towns is still expected out until the end of next month, if not more. In other words: Kyle Anderson SZN […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/21/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We've got a six-game slate and plenty of intriguing spots to work with.

Kyle Anderson Comes Close To Triple-Double In Win

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson has put up some great all-around stat lines in the past few games and almost registered his second triple-double in three games.

Rudy Gobert Won't Play On Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors. The big man will miss his second straight game due to right groin soreness. His absence should mean that Naz Reid draws another start. He's worth streaming in most formats while Gobert is sidelined. Reid is providing 12th-round […]
