D'Angelo Russell Unlikely To Play On Sunday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The Wolves are considering sitting Russell due to a non-COVID related illness. This doesn't come as a surprise considering the Wolves have nothing to gain from this game. Fantasy managers should expect Jordan McLaughlin, Malik Beasley and Jaylen […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/9/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We're winding down the regular season in the NBA with a tiny three-game slate on an action-packed Saturday. As shown in my rankings below, the games all rate out with a "B" rating as they're all pretty similar in implied totals and projected pace. There are three things that stand out the most with these […]

Anthony Edwards Drops Career-High 49 Points Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves small forward Anthony Edwards put forth the most dominant offensive outing of his career during Thursday's win over San Antonio, dropping a career-best 49 points on 16-for-28 shooting overall. Edwards spent the end of the contest in pursuit of 50 points, but he will have to settle for a historic outing that also […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/7/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We're set for a six-game Thursday night slate that will likely provide further clarity on the postseason picture. However, entering the night, there are still several teams with positioning to play for, and the Celtics are actually trying to remain in contention for the Eastern Conference's top seed. Watching for late-breaking news on personnel usage […]

Malik Beasley Tagged As Probable For Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Malik Beasley (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Normally, Beasley isn't a great fantasy option, but could have more value with Patrick Beverley (ankle) tagged as questionable for this game. Beasley is worth a look as a streaming option, assuming Beverley sits out. Fantasy managers […]

Patrick Beverley, Jaden McDaniels Questionable To Play Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Patrick Beverley (ankle) and small/power forward Jaden McDaniels (ankle) have drawn questionable designations for Thursday's contest vs. San Antonio. Beverley's absence over the previous two contests has allowed D'Angelo Russell to shift into de facto point guard duties, while Malik Beasley has bumped into the starting five. McDaniels returned Tuesday and […]

Malik Beasley Active And Starting On Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard Malik Beasley (ankle) will be part of the starting unit for Tuesday night's game against the Washington Wizards. Beasley has been dealing with a left ankle sprain. The injury sidelined him for a handful of games in late March, but he's been able to play through the injury in two straight […]

Malik Beasley Hopeful To Play On Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Malik Beasley (ankle) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. He has been nursing an ankle injury and has missed two games because of it. The fact he is listed as probable means it's likely not bothering him as much anymore. Patrick Beverley (ankle) is listed as questionable, […]

Patrick Beverley Tagged As Questionable For Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley (ankle) has been added to the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. It sounds like Beverley might've sprained his ankle during shootaround. That being said, there's a chance we see Malik Beasley (ankle) again, but he's listed as probable. He'd have some streaming appeal, assuming Beverley […]

Malik Beasley To Be Active Against Rockets

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard Malik Beasley (ankle) will be active in Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets. Beasley has been hampered by a left ankle sprain. The injury caused him to miss two games over the past week, but he played in the team's most recent game against the Denver Nuggets on Friday. In that […]

We have a large, wild nine-game slate on tap tonight, which is a nice little change-up from the typically small schedule on Sundays. Three of the matchups - Wolves-Rockets, Blazers-Spurs, and Pistons-Pacers - stand out from the pack as the top game environments to target for daily fantasy contests. The Wolves-Rockets affair, in particular, grades […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/2/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

There are just three games on the main slate tonight, and the matchups are clearly separated by two tiers in terms of their fantasy appeal. The Nets-Hawks showdown currently sports an eye-popping 242-point implied total, and it also features the fastest projected pace and most combined fantasy points per game allowed. It's going to be […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for PrizePicks: Friday, April 1st

April starts off with 10 games and just four teams playing on the second night of a back-to-back. The Pistons, Bucks, Clippers, and Lakers all played yesterday, but only the Eastern Conference teams came away with wins, despite both victories ultimately being meaningless. Unfortunately, for both LA teams, their competition tonight isn’t going to provide […]

Anthony Edwards Scores 24 Points In Loss To Raptors

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard Anthony Edwards scored a team-high 24 points in Wednesday's 125-102 loss to the Toronto Raptors. He shot 10-for-17 from the field in the game while connecting on four of his seven attempts from three-point range. He also added eight rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block. Edwards was hampered by […]

Malik Beasley To Remain Out On Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Malik Beasley (ankle) will miss his second straight game on Wednesday when the team faces the Toronto Raptors. Beasley suffered a left ankle sprain in last Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Jaylen Nowell wound up seeing 27 minutes in the team's next game after that. He scored 13 points and knocked […]

There are three games tonight that carry serious playoff implications, all consisting of teams that are fighting for either a play-in spot or play-in seeding.

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/27/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

There are six games on the schedule on the NBA main slate tonight, with a tantalizing, warp speed paced Knicks-Pistons showdown serving as the lone matinee offering in the league.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for PrizePicks: Sunday, March 27th

Seven games Sunday with an early 3PM EST tip-off between the Pistons and Knicks. Without Jerami Grant or Julius Randle this game, Cade Cunningham and R.J. Barrett are going to do most of the ball-handling, with Immanuel Quickley and Marvin Bagley as secondary options off the bench. There hasn’t been much consistency from either of […]

Everywhere you look there are upsets right now! Two top seeds just went down in the NCAA tournament last night and four of the five underdogs I wrote up in this piece on Wednesday either won or covered. Full disclosure, I bailed on the Lakers once LeBron James was ruled out, but they still covered […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Good To Go On Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (forearm) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Towns was hit with a questionable tag earlier in the day due to a right forearm contusion, but it won't hold him out of action. March has been one of Towns' best months of the year. Over […]

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 […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Picks Up Questionable Tag For Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (forearm) has earned another questionable designation for Wednesday's game vs. Phoenix. Towns sustained a right forearm contusion during his career-high 60-point showing last week, but he has appeared in each of Minnesota's last three outings and continued to score at a high rate. In two prior meetings with the Suns […]

Had to get to this a little later, so we'll aim to release it Tuesday morning. This should be your championship week, or close to it at least. We'll keep this going as long as it's relevant, but lobby for your fantasy season to end sooner if you're still just getting playoffs started! I'll just […]
