We're poised for an eight-game Monday night slate that features four games with projected totals of over 230 points and five games with spreads of 6.5 points or less.

There will be a total of 53 NBA games over the next week with tonight’s 9-game slate taking up a 16% chunk of those games.

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/30/23): NBA DFS Lineups
We have a solid eight-game slate on tap Monday night, one that features a majority of games with narrow spreads. We also have some intriguing matchups on tap in Lakers-Nets, Kings-Timberwolves, Warriors-Thunder, and Hawks-Trail Blazers, although some key absences in that first contest will reduce the star power considerably. Projected totals also offer some reason […]
Luguentz Dort Will Remain Sidelined On Monday
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Luguentz Dort (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Golden State Warriors. He's been dealing with a right hamstring strain that kept him out of Friday's game as well. After only missing one game before this injury, it's unfortunate to see Dort have to miss some extended time. […]
Bruce Brown (SF, DEN) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 16
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: After starting three games in a row for the Nuggets, Bruce Brown went back to the pine in Saturday's matchup against Philly while getting to play a very limited 22 minutes through the game. It's the first time since January 5 that […]
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Extends 30-Point Streak
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander went for at least 30 points in a fourth consecutive contest Friday against Cleveland, leading his crew to a 112-100 win with a game-high 35 points. He got there with 12-for-21 shooting from the field and a 10-for-11 effort at the foul line. In typical fashion, SGA filled it […]
DraftKings College Basketball DFS Lineup Picks for 1/28/23 - CBB Daily Fantasy Advice
There are three big slates on our Saturday, but we will focus on the "main" one starting at noon Eastern. We start off the final Big 12(10)/SEC Challenge with West Virginia hosting Auburn. Minnesota heads to the 'burbs to take on Northwestern. Boston College heads down to Charlottesville to take on the Hoos. Louisville heads […]
Luguentz Dort Ruled Out Against Cleveland On Friday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (hamstring) is suffering from a hamstring strain that will keep him from playing against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday. The 23-year-old has been able to play through a lot of smaller ailments this season as is shown by the fact he's only missed one other game so far. With […]
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Drops Game-High 36 Points In Loss
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been one of the best players in the league offensively but doesn't have much to show for it as the team suffered their 25th loss of the season. The fifth-year guard out of Kentucky finished with 36 points, five rebounds, seven assists, two steals, and two blocks while […]
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/25/23 - Monkey Knife Fight
Wednesday’s 10-game slate is packed with high-scoring potential throughout, but the late-grouping of games is where every bettors focus should be. Lakers – Spurs features LeBron James on the second night of a back-to-back after scoring 46-points yesterday against the Clippers. James is more than likely going to have his fourth 40-point game this month […]
Fantasy Basketball Injury Updates for Week 15 - Kristaps Porzingis, Kevin Porter Jr, Mitchell Robinson

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 […]
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. The 76ers-Kings game is the top matchup to target for DFS tonight, but the Hornets-Hawks and Rockets-Timberwolves are also appealing game environments. We typically don't want to exclude games on a short slate like this one, and that's especially true when star […]
Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Streamers: Week 14
These balanced schedules are really great these days and we get another solid finish to a week with five games today, followed by nine on Friday and then seven on both Saturday and Sunday.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/18/23 - Monkey Knife Fight
Nine games Wednesday with fairly impressive point totals overall. There are plenty of options to choose from, but specifically there are four games leading the pack in terms of scoring potential. Since Nuggets versus Timberwolves hasn’t been posted and is a great matchup, be sure to wait and see what exactly is being offered. Last […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/15/23): NBA DFS Lineups
We have another smaller slate in the NBA tonight with an exciting five-gamer featuring the 76ers-Lakers nightcap. For DFS purposes, the Kings-Spurs matchup stands out far above the rest, as the 245.5-point implied total is a full 11 points ahead of the next-highest total game. It also projects to be the fastest-paced game and features […]
Jalen Williams (SG, OKC) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 23% of leagues ANALYSIS: A few weeks before the start of the season, before Chet Holmgren got injured and ruled out for his rookie year, Jalen Williams didn't feature on anybody's radar. That changed the minute Chet went down, and it became an absolute reality just […]
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/13/23 - Monkey Knife Fight
The Lakers and Mavericks went to double-overtime last night and Damian Lillard dropped 50-points despite a tough loss to the Cavaliers. Thursday's late-games salvaged an underwhelming night in the NBA and the weekend kicks-off with a nine-game Friday slate. Only the Thunder are playing on the second night of a back-to-back and luckily for them, […]
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Leads All Scorers In Blowout Win
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continued his quest for his first All-Star selection and a scoring title during a blowout win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday.

Jaylin Williams To Play On Thursday
Oklahoma City Thunder center Jaylin Williams (ankle) will suit up for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The rookie big man will be back in action after missing the last three games due to a sprained ankle. He'll draw a tough matchup against Joel Embiid during his first game back. That being said, Williams won't […]
