Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (12/5/22)

After a fairly successful weekend of wagering on the NFL (which hasn't been all that easy this year), I'm ready to slide back over to covering the NBA today for this solid eight-game slate of action. I am going with a relatively small card here on this smaller slate as there are only a few […]

Deandre Ayton Posts 25-Point Double-Double

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton posted a strong outing in the team's blowout win on the road against the San Antonio Spurs. The former first-overall pick ended the game with 25 points, 10 rebounds, and three assists while shooting 71.4% from the floor on 14 attempts. He also knocked down the only three that he […]

Mikal Bridges Available On Sunday

Phoenix Suns forward Mikal Bridges (knee) will be available for Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. His games-played streak will live on as he has been officially cleared for this contest. Damion Lee and Landry Shamet will serve their normal roles off the bench, but neither player has much streaming appeal. Bridges is providing […]

Royce O'Neale (SF, BKN) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of leagues ANALYSIS: Gotta be happy about T.J. Warren making it back to a basketball court after virtually two years out of the pro circuit recovering from injuries. I mean, the last time this man graced a basketball court we were watching Bubble Hoops. This […]

Cam Payne (PG, PHO) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 22% of leagues ANALYSIS: With Chris Paul still nurturing a knee injury, Cam Payne keeps eating minutes as the Phoenix Suns starting point guard. And judging by the Suns league-leading 15-7 record it's not that they are probably mad at Payne's production. CP3 missed Friday's game […]

Torrey Craig Sidelined For Meeting With The Spurs

Phoenix Suns forward Torrey Craig (groin) won't play on Sunday versus the Spurs, marking his second straight absence because of a groin strain. The 31-year-old has played well in place of Cameron Johnson (knee) this season, averaging 8.8 points, 5.6 boards, and 1.2 blocks in 13 starts. Dario Saric filled in for him on Friday, […]

Mikal Bridges Probable Against San Antonio

Phoenix Suns forward Mikal Bridges (knee) is expected to play on Sunday against San Antonio. Bridges tweaked his knee in Friday's meeting with the Rockets but still finished with 22 points, eight rebounds, and a steal in 37 minutes. With that in mind, unless Bridges' condition takes a turn in the wrong direction, he should […]

Chris Paul Won't Be Back On Sunday

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (heel) won't play on Sunday against the Spurs. Paul has been out for nearly a month with heel soreness, and with no end in sight, Cameron Payne should remain in the starting rotation. Payne had 20 points, 12 assists, and four steals versus the Rockets on Friday night, so he […]

Dario Saric Moves To The Starting Lineup

Phoenix Suns forward Dario Saric will log his first start of the campaign Friday against the Rockets. He is replacing Torrey Craig (groin), who is forced to miss his first game of the season.

Torrey Craig Ruled Out For Friday’s Game

Phoenix Suns power forward Torrey Craig (groin) has been deemed unavailable to suit up for Friday's contest against Houston due to a strained right groin. Craig's absence -- his first of the year -- figures to pave the way for Ish Wainright to accrue added minutes, while Mikal Bridges is set to take on a […]

Devin Booker Picks Up Another Double-Double

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker posted a 27-point, 11-rebound double-double in Saturday's 113-112 win over Utah. He had a very tough shooting night, going 8-for-27 from the field, but a 10-for-11 effort at the charity stripe eventually helped him put together a good line. Booker's work also included seven assists. That's now two double-doubles […]

Chris Paul Out Again On Saturday Evening

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (heel) is out for Saturday's contest against Utah, marking his nine-consecutive absence due to right heel soreness. Without a definitive return date for Paul, Cameron Payne should continue to replace him.

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (11/26/22): NBA DFS Lineups
