NBA DFS Prop Picks for 2/9/22 - Monkey Knife Fight
There might only be six games Wednesday, but two massive trades yesterday make the last games of the night enormous question marks right until tip-off. C.J. McCollum and Larry Nance Jr. were traded to the Pelicans in exchange for Josh Hart, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker essentially, and Domantas Sabonis, Justin Holiday, and Jeremy Lamb were traded...

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 2/4/22 - Monkey Knife Fight
A nine-game slate this Friday opens up the weekend with seven interconference matchups. Between Cavaliers-Hornets and Raptors-Hawks, there are plenty of playoff implications on the line and we are going to see these specific matchups quite a few more teams before the season concludes. Atlanta is down a 0-1 in their series against Toronto, but... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/31/22 - Monkey Knife Fight
Monday’s eight game slate features four teams on the second night of a back-to-back. The Hawks and Clippers should be relatively fresh with their starters playing lower-end minutes, and the Cavaliers and Trail Blazers will desperately want to win at least one leg of their back-to-back, after both teams had chances to win their Sunday...

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/28/22 - Monkey Knife Fight
Nights where there are only two NBA games usually means the following day’s slate is going to be massive. With 11 games scheduled, MonkeyKnifeFight only has five games up so far, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t areas to attack this early. Unbelievably, even though only four teams played yesterday, two of those teams, the... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/26/22 - Monkey Knife Fight
Wednesday’s 10-game slate is anchored by six inter-conference matchups, with eight teams playing on the second night of a back-to-back. Generally, it’s much easier to simply avoid teams that are playing multiple games over the span of just a few days, but ignoring context like that will likely only hurt your betting and ultimately your...

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/21/22 - Monkey Knife Fight
An 11-game Friday rounds out what has been an extremely fun week of basketball. The Pacers beat both the Warriors and Lakers on their west coast road trip, and now Golden State hosts Houston for the third matchup of their seven-game homestand.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/17/22 - Monkey Knife Fight
It’s a wonderful Monday with basketball starting early. There are 12 games on the slate and the first game between the Celtics and Pelicans starts at 12:30EST. Any game that showcases Brandon Ingram, Jaylen Brown, and Jayson Tatum is going to provide plenty of entertainment and the last time one of these players scored under... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/14/22 - Monkey Knife Fight
Friday’s nine game slate doesn’t consist of the highest point totals, but look at the projected lineups for each game and you’ll notice that most of the teams playing are surprisingly healthy aside from the Warriors missing their most important player. As we saw yesterday, Golden State without Draymond Green does not have a chance... Read More
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... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/10 - Monkey Knife Fight
Klay Thompson’s 17-point return to action was an ideal cap to another entertaining weekend of basketball. Monday features seven games, five out-of-conference matchups and six teams playing on the second night of a back-to-back. Even though the Nets played yesterday at home, traveling to Portland means Kyrie Irving is available. With more updates bound to... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/7 - Monkey Knife Fight
Friday is a jampacked nine-game slate and if you weren’t satisfied with last nights grouping of games, today has much more to offer. First things first, small slates usually mean there will be a limited number of teams playing two games in two days, so it’s already looking positive that every team will be arguably... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/5 - Monkey Knife Fight
Wednesday hits us with a massive 11-game slate and there are only two teams playing on the second night of a back-to-back. The Sacramento Kings lost to the Lakers last night and host the Atlanta Hawks one game after Trae Young scored 56 points on 26 shots. While Sacramento's rotation looks sustainable for the first... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/3 - Monkey Knife Fight
This weekend featured plenty of exciting games, but throughout all 13 games, only one player scored 50 points. Jaylen Brown was unstoppable against the Magic and even though Orlando had the opportunity to win this game outright, their defense had no answer and seemingly no adjustments within the second half of the game. Boston doesn't... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 12/31 - Monkey Knife Fight
Ten games Friday with an early start between the Suns and Celtics, featuring Devin Booker, Chris Paul, and Jaylen Brown. Jayson Tatum remains out and Brown has scored at least 25 points in his last five games so there's going to be upside as long as he's available. Following that, the Pacers host the Bulls... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 12/29 - Monkey Knife Fight
Nine games Wednesday with five teams playing on the second night of a back-to-back. The Miami Heat are one of those teams and, as of only a few minutes ago, sent three more players, P.J. Tucker, Gabe Vincent, and Zylan Cheatham, into COVID protocol, and as of even more recently, Jimmy Butler has also been... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 12/27 - Monkey Knife Fight
Monday follows up Christmas weekend with a very promising seven game slate. Nearly every team playing is generally healthy aside from the Brooklyn Nets taking on the Clippers, still missing Kevin Durant, and a game between the Mavericks and Trail Blazers without both Luka Doncic and C.J. McCollum. Dallas vs. Portland might not be a... Read More
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... Read More
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... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 12/17 - Monkey Knife Fight
Eight games Friday and still more and more players are being sent into health and safety protocol. Future postponements are inevitable, and since the institution of the rule forcing teams to announce their lineups 30 minutes prior to game time, it's never really been enforced. The amount of variability in the NBA right now is... Read More
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... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 12/13 - Monkey Knife Fight
Monday's nine game slate only consists of three intraconference games, with just one game being played between divisional rivals, the Clippers and Suns. Winning in the regular season is pivotal to playoff standings, especially when some of the seeding comes down to tiebreakers. The Cavaliers have been one of the better teams this season, and...

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 12/10 - Monkey Knife Fight
A healthy nine-game slate before we head into the weekend features high point totals and potential playoff matchups throughout. With the Hawks currently as the eighth seed and the Nets as the first, there's some fun to be had viewing this game through a post-seasonal lens. Brooklyn will struggle to defend Trae Young and the... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 12/8 - Monkey Knife Fight
A massive 13-game slate on Wednesday is the perfect chaser for last night's trio of competitive games. As of right now, Spencer Dinwiddie and Tyrese Haliburton are available to play, while Harrison Barnes, Jaylen Brown, and D'Angelo Russell are all still listed as questionable. It's still early in the day and since updates usually come... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 12/6 - Monkey Knife Fight
There are 10 games Monday and it's no surprise that the Hawks-Minnesota matchup possesses the highest point total for tonight. A multitude of young players all playing well has the potential to benefit prop bettors and solidify DFS lineups, but most importantly, the fans are going to appreciate whatever skills Trae Young, D'Angelo Russell or... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 12/3 - Monkey Knife Fight
With just seven of Friday's nine games posted, we can pretty much cover every game listed throughout this article, so let's not waste any time. Bradley Beal is shooting way too poorly to feel confident about any kind of over bet, whereas Darius Garland continues to carry this offense any way he can, usually contributing... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 12/1 - Monkey Knife Fight
It's settled. The best team in the Western Conference is the Phoenix Suns. If anything is certain, it's that a regular season matchup at the end of November is the most important game on the schedule and determines everything from that point onward. Sarcasm aside, last night's contest was extremely entertaining and we received another... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 11/29 - Monkey Knife Fight
Tonight's nine-game slate might be the most competitive night of basketball this season. Nikola Jokic and Jimmy Butler are possibly facing off, the young Thunder are traveling to Houston, and with both Evan Mobley and Kristaps Porzingis both showing reasons why they belong in this league, the first matchup between the two should be enlightening....

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 11/26 - Monkey Knife Fight
Even though it was just one day, a break is a break. The NBA scheduling is far from perfect and with basketball being a very unpredictable sport, things like ankle sprains and bone bruises happen fairly regularly. Although they aren't major, not getting the proper rehabilitation for those small problems can cause issues down the... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 11/24 - Monkey Knife Fight
There's no basketball tomorrow for some horrible reason, but that just means we get an action-packed Wednesday with 13-games and a massive Friday slate. Thursday will just be a day without entertainment I guess... With 13 games tonight, there are literally thousands of options. That doesn't mean they are all good options, but options nonetheless....

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 11/22 - Monkey Knife Fight
It'll be hard to find a news outlet that isn't click-baiting the absolute nonsense out of the Isaiah Stewart-LeBron James debacle, so I'll save you the headspace...excluding my ironic lede, but the scuffle overshadowed two huge narratives. The Chicago Bulls are a team to take very seriously and the Denver Nuggets consist of two players,... Read More
