Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander recorded his fourth consecutive 30-point outing on Saturday against Houston and needed only 28 minutes on the floor to get there. He led all scorers with 32 points in a 118-105 loss. It was a strong 12-for-21 shooting night for him, and Gilgeous-Alexander hit 7-for-7 at the foul line […]

We have a tiny three-game slate on tap in the NBA tonight after 28 teams were in action yesterday. Each of the six teams playing tonight will be playing in their second game of back-to-back sets, which means we could see some funky lineup scratches that we'll need to adjust to as we move throughout […]

Josh Giddey Flirts With A Triple-Double

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Josh Giddey had a near miss on a triple-double Friday, completing a 123-119 overtime win against Chicago with 10 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists. He also had one block with five turnovers in 38 minutes. Giddey shot an underwhelming 5-for-13 from the field, but his scoring wasn't really needed as […]

Aleksej Pokusevski Playing On Wednesday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Aleksej Pokusevski (ankle) will suit up for Wednesday's meeting with Denver. The 20-year-old didn't play against the Knicks on Monday because of a sprained left ankle, but it appears as if the injury isn't as bad as initially believed. Pokusevski has averaged 9.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks this season, […]

Tre Mann Available Against Knicks

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Tre Mann (back) is available for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. Originally, the Thunder had Mann ruled out for this game, but it appears he's feeling good enough to play. However, it's unlikely he gets enough playing time to make an impact in fantasy leagues with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and […]

Darius Bazley Available On Monday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Darius Bazley (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. This is the first time that Bazley will be active since November 9th. However, fantasy managers shouldn't rush to pick him up with Jalen Williams playing so well. The rebuilding Thunder are likely to continue giving Williams significant […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (11/21/22)

Betting on the NBA can be a rollercoaster for sure and Friday's results represented a valley as my picks went 1-4. The money line parlay was almost intact, but the Bulls lost at the buzzer to the Magic and that one stung. The underdog teaser continues to be on fire and is now up to […]

Early-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 6

Optimizing our streamers this week is a little tricky in that the league doesn't play on Thursday for Thanksgiving. That means most teams either play today (Monday) or Tuesday and then again on Wednesday and Friday. There are only a handful of games on Saturday and then more than usual on Sunday. I will get […]

Aleksej Pokusevski Injured On Friday Night

Oklahoma City Thunder center Aleksej Pokusevski (ankle) injured his left ankle during Friday's loss to Memphis. The 20-year-old was having a fantastic night before his premature exit, scoring 10 points and blocking three shots in only 14 minutes of action. Pokusevski has played well this season, averaging 9.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks in […]

Fantasy Basketball Buy, Sell, or Hold: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Deandre Ayton

Trading in fantasy basketball can help you improve your team in the short, as well as in the long term. More than that, it's just plain fun. Negotiating with your mate, going back and forth with offers, and hopefully, reaching a mutually beneficial agreement in the end. It's not always easy to find the right […]

Tre Mann Ruled Out For Monday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Tre Mann (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. The young guard is dealing with lower back soreness, so the team has decided to take the cautious approach and rest him. He suffered the injury during Sunday's contest, so it's not surprising to see the team […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Has A 37-Point Outing Versus Knicks

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander always likes to visit Madison Square Garden and Sunday was no different. He led all scorers with 37 points in a 145-135 win over the Knicks, improving to 5-0 at the MSG across his college and professional career. Gilgeous-Alexander shot 13-for-22 from the field with a 2-for-3 record from […]

Josh Giddey Posts A Special Triple-Double

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Josh Giddey registered his first triple-double of the season in Sunday's win over the Knicks, joining Wilt Chamberlain as the only other player in NBA history to record triple-doubles in their first two games at the famous Madison Square Garden. Giddey posted 24 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists on superb […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 5

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 […]

Darius Bazley Won't Suit Up On Friday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Darius Bazley (ankle) was forced to leave their last game on Thursday night due to a sprained ankle. It looks as though he'll be forced to miss at least one game as he was officially listed as out for their game on Friday against the Toronto Raptors. Aleksej Pokusevski will likely […]

Josh Giddey Falls Short Of Triple-Double

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey cashed in a great night on the glass but just came short in the assists department for his first triple-double of the season. In the team's double-overtime loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, the second-year guard registered 18 points, 15 rebounds, and 6 assists. He did struggle from three in […]

Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 4

The league took Tuesday off to encourage voter turnout in the mid-term elections, which meant we had games on only Monday and Wednesday. But it's a bit of a blessing in disguise as the games from Thursday to Sunday are more spread out than usual as we have four games on Thursday, eight games on […]
