Buy-Low, Sell-High, NBA Fantasy Basketball Playoffs

All-Star weekend has come to a close, which means two things. One, and maybe most obvious, we're in the second half of the 2021-22 NBA season. Two, we're nearing the fantasy basketball playoffs, which is maybe not as obvious if you don't play the game, but that's likely why you're reading this article in the […]

Donovan Mitchell Won't Play In All-Star Game

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) won't suit up for Sunday's All-Star game. It appears Mitchell is dealing with a non-COVID related illness and will sit this one out. The announcement was made too close to game time, so there won't be an injury replacement for Mitchell. Luckily, the Jazz don't play again until Friday, […]

After a particularly extended pre-All-Star-break portion of the season, the NBA is finally ready for its week-long pause to its 2021-22 campaign. Most teams have already begun their sabbatical, but there are still five games to play Thursday night. Despite the modest number of games, there are still plenty of big names in action and […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 2/16/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

There are only two days left until the All-Star break, but rarely will these massive slates mean low-quality basketball. The competition, if anything, has revved up in these last couple weeks and with multiple trades impacting teams in pivotal playoff seeding positions, the rest of the season is going to revolve around shifting team dynamics […]

Rudy Gay Won't Play Wednesday

Utah Jazz forward Rudy Gay (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This marks the fifth game in a row that Gay has missed due to right knee soreness. At this point, the Jazz are taking the cautious approach and holding out Gay through the All-Star break. In the […]

Rudy Gobert Returns For Monday’s Game

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (calf) has been given the green light to get back into action for Monday's contest against the Rockets. Gobert had missed the Jazz's previous nine outings due to a left calf strain, with his return zapping Hassan Whiteside of his DFS and short-term season-long appeal. Entering the night as both […]

Rudy Gobert Questionable Against Rockets

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. He was able to practice on Sunday, so hopefully he can be activated on Monday. Udoka Azubuike and Hassan Whiteside will split up the playing time, assuming Gobert is unable to play. Whiteside is the better fantasy option […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tons of folks out there disappointed by Utah and its deadline moves, which might be reasonable considering this franchise should be all-in while the Gobert-Mitchell pair is at the peak of its talents.

Rudy Gobert Ruled Out Versus Magic

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. He'll miss his ninth game in a row due to a left calf strain. There's a good chance that fantasy managers won't see Gobert again until after the All-Star break. Until then, Hassan Whiteside should continue drawing starts […]

Rudy Gay Will Miss Friday’s Contest

Utah Jazz power forward Rudy Gay (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Magic due to a sore right knee. Gay's absence has climbed to three consecutive contests, with his minutes being distributed over the Jazz's usual second unit contributors.

I was feeling great about last night's bets sitting at 3-0 and heading into the evening games. And I felt even better when I saw the Warriors race out to an 11-0 lead against the Jazz. And then I went to bed because I have to get up early every day. When I woke up […]

Another really solid night last night as the Suns and Kings took care of business as our main bets. Brandon Ingram came up short of his prop despite a good matchup, but the fourth bet that I added mid-day hit as Reggie Bullock hit four threes to go over his 2.5 prop. I'll take 3-1 […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 2/9/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

We're getting down to the wire here and you NEED to eke out wins here if your team is on the cusp of a playoff berth. There's no wiggle room as we're probably 2-3 weeks out from your league's playoffs in most competitive leagues. If your league isn't starting playoffs around this time, you're doing […]

Jordan Clarkson Questionable For Monday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. He has missed each of the last two games due to right knee soreness. Jared Butler and Trent Forrest would likely pick up additional minutes if Clarkson is out. However, neither player is much of a fantasy […]

Rudy Gobert Ruled Out On Monday

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. He has missed each of the last six games, but the Jazz are hopeful to get Gobert back before the All-Star break.

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/5/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We have a typically-small five-game Saturday slate on tap tonight, and it's not going to be the easiest night to dissect as value appears to be slim outside of OKC. The top two games to target look to be the Bucks-Blazers and Heat-Hornets as those matchups hold high totals and weak defense on the Blazers […]

Rudy Gay Tagged As Questionable For Friday

Utah Jazz forward Rudy Gay (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The Jazz are already without starting center Rudy Gobert (calf) and backup Hassan Whiteside (back) is listed as questionable. That means, Eric Paschall, Udoka Azubuike, and possibly Elijah Hughes would play bigger roles. Gay wasn't a great fantasy […]

Rudy Gobert Remains Out On Friday

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The good new is, star guard Donovan Mitchell cleared concussion protocol and is available to play. Sadly, Gobert remains sidelined and his backup Hassan Whiteside (back) is listed as questionable. Udoka Azubuike is expected to draw another start […]
