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

With so much chaos going on and lineups changing by the second, it's best to keep things as simple and as clear as possible. With only five games Wednesday now that the Raptors game has been postponed, more announcements are likely to come. Waiting for information won't hurt, especially with how unpredictable everything is right […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (12/22/21)

We had some close calls on Monday and unfortunately just missed on a few bets by only mere points as the Thunder scored 102 points in a surprising win (we had them under 101.5) and the Warriors came up just a few baskets short of covering their team total at 217.5. The Spurs covered with […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/22/21): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a smaller Wednesday slate with six games, and with COVID running rampant in the Association, there are better players out than actually on the court. This is where tournaments get really, really interesting. Lock is a bit later than normal at 7:30 Eastern tonight when Boston hosts Cleveland and a beleaguered Hawks team […]

Tre Mann Earns Questionable Tag For Wednesday’s Game

Oklahoma City Thunder point/shooting guard Tre Mann (toe) has been deemed questionable to play in Wednesday's contest against the Nuggets due to a sprained big toe on his left foot. Mann has seen his role expand considerably over the past 11 contests, in which he has averaged 9.3 points per contest, shooting behind the arc […]

Fantasy Basketball Injury Updates for Week 10

Where in the world do I begin? Everyone's out, go pick up the 10 players who aren't out. The end. Healthy and safety protocols are killing the season, and the league is working around the clock to come up with new protocols that will keep the games going and the players safe. I'm not optimistic, […]

Josh Giddey Has Another Busy Night On Monday

Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard Josh Giddey made things tick on Monday against Memphis with 11 assists and finished the contest with 19 points on 7-for-16 shooting. He was 3-for-8 with the three-ball and 2-for-6 at the line, adding three rebounds with one steal and three turnovers. Giddey narrowly missed a triple-double at the weekend […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 12/20 - Monkey Knife Fight

Monkey Knife Fight doesn't have all of Monday night's six games up and for good reason. The pandemic hasn't let up and this month is providing enough proof to hopefully force some people to stay at home as much as possible. With new postponements coming every day, NBA Christmas is already spoiled. With the limited […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (12/20/21)

Things are getting wonky in both the NFL and NBA thanks to COVID cases being on the rise and new variants infecting the nation. It's been incredibly tough to cover these leagues and keep track of who is or isn't playing on a daily basis, but we're doing our best! While there are two NFL […]

Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 10: Chuma Okeke, Nerlens Noel, Robin Lopez, Kemba Walker

I'll be dead honest with you guys: I don't have any f*#$ing clue who half of these players are on any given NBA roster that isn't named the Chicago Bulls. And if I don't know half the guys, you probably don't know half the guys either. Yet, we trudge on, just like the league, and […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 10

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, Aaron Wiggins Have Uncertain Roles

Oklahoma City Thunder forwards Darius Bazley and Aaron Wiggins are not locked into the starting five, according to head coach Mark Daigneault. It sounds like the Thunder want to continue taking things game-by-game. They've considered both big and small lineups, but it doesn't seem like they plan on sticking with one. That being said, Bazley […]

NBA Waiver Wire Streamers for Fantasy Basketball Week 10 (Dec 20 - Dec 26)

A six-day NBA week is ahead with no games played on the day before Christmas. Five of six days have between five and eight games played and only Thursday has a 12-game slate scheduled before the break on Friday. That's why we will be taking a bit of a different approach to streaming this week […]

Luguentz Dort Returns To Starting Five

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (ankle) will return to the starting five for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was forced to miss one game due to an ankle issue, but is back here. His return sends Darius Bazley back to the bench, so he won't have as much appeal anymore. Fantasy […]

Luguentz Dort Hopeful To Play Saturday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (ankle) is trending towards playing during Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Aaron Wiggins received the start last game, but didn't bring much to the table during his 23 minutes. Kenrich Williams and Tre Mann played well off the bench. Both would lose touches and minutes, assuming Dort […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Tallies 33 Points In Wednesday's Loss

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the team with 33 points in Wednesday's 113-110 loss to New Orleans, shooting 10-for-25 from the field and 9-for-9 at the line. He hit a nice 4-for-8 from three-point range and made a tough trey to tie the game with just over a second left, but the Thunder […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 12/15 - Monkey Knife Fight

Steph Curry broke the three-point record last night against the Knicks, but not even his greatness can ignore that there's a looming cloud over the entirety of the NBA. With so many players entering health and safety protocol, it's alarming. More and more news seems to come out every day and we've already seen postponed […]

Luguentz Dort Won't Play Wednesday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He suffered a left ankle injury during Sunday's game and needed assistance to get to the locker room. That being said, fantasy managers should prepare for a multiple game absence here. Theo Maledon and Tre Mann […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/14/21): NBA DFS Lineups

Are you ready for some Tuesday night hoops? While there were originally four games on the schedule, the NBA made the executive decision to postpone the CHI/DET matchup as the Bulls have been hit with a wave of COVID. Even still, there will be six teams tipping off on Tuesday night and that is more […]

Fantasy Basketball Injury Updates for Week 9

I woke up this morning asking myself: Do I really have to write this article? It seemed like a massive undertaking with the plethora of injury and COVID updates we've had over the past few days. The answer to that question though is a resounding "YES!" There's a veritable gold mine out there in fantasyland […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 9

Welcome back to the waiver wire! Need to bolster your flailing team? We've got you covered.

We'll be looking at centers, forwards, and guards whose low rostership and upside […]

Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 9: Garrison Mathews, JaVale McGee, Kevin Huerter, Cedi Osman

More bummer injury news and health and safety protocols issues have made this fantasy season an absolutely dreadful landscape to navigate. Good health is going to do your fantasy team wonders, but if you have some guys out for a while, it's wise to drop them and start streaming! You can still win your league […]

Luguentz Dort Has 10 First-Half Points Before Exiting With Injury

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Luguentz Dort had a good 10-point half in 16 minutes against Dallas on Sunday, but he was forced to exit the game with an ankle sprain. Theo Maledon started the second half and went scoreless in 13 minutes. OKC will be off until Wednesday night, so Dort will get some time […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/12/21): NBA DFS Lineups

DraftKings and FanDuel are giving us two short slates on the weekend as there are just five games on Sunday's main slate after a six-gamer on Saturday. I guess they like to save the 13-game slates for random Tuesdays for some reason. I shouldn't be complaining because sorting through those mega-slates is a gigantic headache, […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (12/8/21)

We were SO CLOSE to a clean sweep on Monday night, but the Wizards lost by six and couldn't cover 5.5, which is where they were when I wrote them up in this piece on Monday morning. I actually grabbed them shortly after at +6 so that game pushed for me, but I have to […]
