NBA DFS Prop Picks for Wednesday (1/27/21) - Monkey Knife Fight

This is one of the biggest slates we've had all season with 12 games, and the best part about it is that we have no immediate rematches.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for Monday (1/25/21) - Monkey Knife Fight

There are 10 games on Monday's slate, and with so many repeats of games, try not to get sucked into the blackhole that is past performances.
