Fantasy Basketball Injury Updates for Week 17 - James Harden, Zach LaVine, De'Aaron Fox, Darius Garland, Malcolm Brogdon

Heads up that I'm getting to this early on Monday so I can watch the Bulls against the Suns and do my podcast for the game. Double-check the latest injury reports before you go full speed ahead on any adds. This should give you a quick, general idea though. Lots of strange, questionable injuries creeping […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/7/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We have a much smaller slate than usual for a Monday this week, as only five games are on tap. There's also the potential for some lopsided results given the matchups, but there are still enough healthy players to give us plenty of viable options at each point on the salary scale. There's plenty to […]

Bradley Beal To Be Re-Evaluated On Tuesday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (wrist) will be re-evaluated on Tuesday, according to head coach Wes Unseld Jr. The veteran has missed his previous three games because of a left wrist sprain and won't be in the lineup on Monday against the Heat either. Nevertheless, with the All-Star break on the horizon, there's a good […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/6/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

Back-to-back five-game slates on the weekend in the NBA, and we have a very interesting one in store for tonight with Giannis and Luka at the top, a myriad of intriguing mid-to-high range plays, and scarce value. The Pelicans-Rockets and Bucks-Clippers affairs are profiling to be the top ones to target in our lineups as […]

Chuma Okeke (PF, ORL): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues ANALYSIS: After a month of play in which Chuma Okeke started 10 of 12 games (from mid-December to mid-January), the Magic sent Okeke back to the pine and trusted him to man a second-unit leading role. So far, so good for the second-year […]

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 […]

Bradley Beal Out Again On Saturday

Washington Wizards forward Bradley Beal (wrist) is out again on Saturday. Beal has already missed two games after spraining his left wrist, so his upcoming absence against the red-hot Suns will mark his third straight. He saw a specialist on Tuesday, so it's unknown exactly how much longer he will be out, although it's likely […]

Thomas Bryant Will Miss Wednesday’s Contest

Washington Wizards center Thomas Bryant (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game vs. Philadelphia due to a sprained right ankle. Bryant had shifted back into the starting five over the team's two previous outings, but Daniel Gafford will reclaim that spot Wednesday, albeit with the difficult task of corralling Joel Embiid. Bryant has been […]

Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 16: Hassan Whiteside, Luke Kennard, Bismack Biyombo, Chuma Okeke

If you're one of those fantasy basketball players that sets a lineup at the beginning of the week, checks out, and then comes back seven days later to see how things shook out, this post is not for you. This is for those who are grinding through each day and keeping track of categories as […]

Aaron Holiday Starting Against Bucks

Washington Wizards guard Aaron Holiday will move into the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Bradley Beal (wrist) is expected to miss multiple games, so Holiday could see a few games in the starting five. Holiday is averaging 9.4 points and 3.4 assists as a starter this season. He's not an elite […]

Bradley Beal To Be Sidelined For Two Games

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal (wrist) is expected to miss the team's next two games due to a left wrist sprain. The injury occurred during Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies, during which Beal scored a season-low nine points on 2-of-11 shooting. The Wizards have a favorable matchup against the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday. […]

Thomas Bryant Moves Into Starting Five

Washington Wizards center Thomas Bryant will move into the starting five for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Daniel Gafford has been lackluster lately, so he'll move to the second unit here. The Wizards have experienced issues all season long trying to find playing time for their three-headed monster at center. Bryant has some streaming […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/29/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We have a modest six-game slate in the NBA tonight, and it's certainly not lacking for star power. Embiid, Doncic, Harden, Curry, Morant, Tatum, Sabonis, and Irving are the highlights at the top of the salary scale, so we're going to have our pick of the litter among the studs. Three of the six matchups […]

The absence marks the first game on the sidelines for Kuzma since Dec. 13, with a combination of Rui Hachimura, Davis Bertans, and Deni Avdija all seeing potential increases in minutes and offensive usage. Kuzma […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (1/21/22)

Wednesday was a disappointing 1-3 day for me. While the Nets won, the Timberwolves crumbled in the third quarter after leading up until that point against Atlanta. Then Jimmy Butler got himself ejected from the Miami game, which really hurt Miami's chances of going over their total there. Even our parlay was ruined by the […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (1/19/22)

We hit both our spread bets on Wednesday but missed yet another total. The totals have been so wonky lately that it's forced me to make some tweaks to my model to incorporate a rolling recent 10-game sample and hopefully that's going to help us get a better idea there. In the meantime, I will […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/12/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

Nine games Wednesday with just two teams playing on the second night of a back-to-back. The Wizards are without Bradley Beal for another week, but Thomas Bryant is, potentially, hours away from a much-needed return. Daniel Gafford has been anchoring the paint in his absence, but playing the Thunder last night exposed his weakness of […]

Thomas Bryant Set To Make Season Debut Wednesday

Washington Wizards center Thomas Bryant (knee) is expected to be available for Wednesday's game against Orlando, which will mark his season debut. Bryant last appeared Jan. 9, 2021, having since rehabbed a torn left ACL. The 24-year-old will likely be on a sizable minutes restriction to begin his playing stint, with his addition giving Washington […]

Rui Hachimura Faces Minutes Cap For Tuesday’s Game

Washington Wizards power forward Rui Hachimura is expected to play around 15-16 minutes during Tuesday's contest vs. the Thunder as he ramps back up to game speed. Hachimura played 14 minutes during his season debut Sunday, collecting six points (on eight shots) and three rebounds. Having averaged 11.4 field-goal attempts per game over each of […]

Bradley Beal Lands In COVID-19 Protocols Again
