Darius Bazley Will Miss Fourth Straight Game Wednesday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Darius Bazley (illness) will sit against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. Bazley is dealing with a lingering illness and will miss his fourth straight game. Aleksej Pokusevski and Kenrich Williams should continue to get extra run while Bazley sits. Pokusevski holds high upside, but his minutes remain volatile so it […]

Josh Giddey Will Remain Sidelined Wednesday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey (illness) will sit Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Giddey will miss his third straight game due to a lingering illness and being ruled out over a day in advance is not very promising. Aaron Wiggins is in line for another start while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's usage rate should […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Is Available For Monday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (back) is available for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (back) has been upgraded to questionable for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Kenrich Williams Available On Saturday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kenrich Williams (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Williams will be back in action for the first time since December 3rd.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Josh Giddey Out On Saturday

Oklahoma City Thunder guards Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (back) and Josh Giddey (illness) have been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Darius Bazley Ruled Out Against Timberwolves

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Darius Bazley (illness) will miss his seventh game of the season on Friday as he watches from the sidelines with a non-COVID illness.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 12/16/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

Friday brings a ton of potential with plenty of high-scoring matchups and a late-slate consisting of three Western Conference rivalries. With 10 games on the schedule and just the Oklahoma City-Minnesota game not listed on Monkey Knife Fight, it’s better we avoid that game for the most part anyway. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is still a safe […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/12/22): NBA DFS Lineups

We're set for a solid seven-game slate Monday night, one that many might consider an ideal size for the purposes of building tournament lineups in particular.

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/10/22): NBA DFS Lineups

It's a glorious Saturday and the NBA has treated us with seven games for the main slate tonight. The Celtics-Warriors game should be a gold mine for DFS production, but don't sleep on the Jazz-Nuggets affair as that one is projecting to be a shootout. Half of the teams in action are playing in the […]

Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Luguentz Dort (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game vs. Memphis due to a left knee contusion.

We've got an eight-game slate in our sights Monday night, which affords us what many would consider a close-to-ideal player pool for tournaments.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Returns With A 33-Point Effort

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander returned from a one-game absence Saturday and went off for 33 points on 10-for-17 shooting in a 135-128 win over Minnesota.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander To Play Saturday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (hip) will suit up for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The star guard sat out of their last game due to a hip contusion. His absence opened up more playing time and chances for guys like Josh Giddey, Jalen Williams and Tre Mann. All of them should go […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/3/22): NBA DFS Lineups

Four games are on tap in the NBA tonight and for what has to be the first time since the pandemic began, the injury report is almost empty.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Won't Suit Up On Wednesday

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 11/30/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

Monkey Knife Fight only has eight of Wednesday’s thirteen games posted, but nearly all of tonight’s highest projected point totals are available, so we at least have options. Sacramento and Indiana harbor a ton of pace between both rotations and defense should be lacking throughout, making this an easy game to take overs across the […]
