Today's NBA Bets, Player Props, Value Picks

We rarely get a 10-game NBA slate on a Sunday. But with the NFL taking a week off before the Super Bowl, the NBA takes center stage today with some nationally-televised games. The Bucks and Celtics square off on ESPN at 3:30 PM EST, while we get a double-header on Peacock with the Lakers-Knicks game […]

Who to Drop or Hold in Fantasy Basketball

Welcome back to this week's edition of the fantasy basketball cut list! We are getting to the point of the year where we are running into some of the same players for the second time. We are also starting to stack up injured players either on the cut list or the "hot seat," as managers […]

NBA Bets and Props for Novig - 1/28

Tonight brings us nine NBA games, and I am pretty pumped to attack this slate from a betting perspective. There are a bunch of really good game environments for offense, and I am going to continue to be aggressive with NBA prop bet wagers tonight. Lately, I have been running pretty hot, so I hope […]

Fantasy Basketball Stashes: The Stretch Run

We are closing in on the NBA trade deadline, which is next Thursday, February 5th. Every year, there are players rumored to be dealt who aren't, and then a few surprise moves are made instead. The deadline comes one week ahead of the All-Star break, which takes place about two-thirds of the way through the […]

Who to Drop or Hold in Fantasy Basketball

Another week has passed, and our patience with injured and underperforming players continues to dwindle. For many managers, the fantasy basketball playoffs will start in about a month, and I know a lot of leagues have moved their playoffs weeks up in recent years to avoid the "Silly Season" as much as possible. As the […]


NBA Bets and Props for Novig - 1/21

We are entering dangerous waters today. It's the day after a sweep, as I went 7-0 on my NBA prop bets last night, and I am probably feeling a bit confident in my picks today. I am ready to be humbled, but still optimistic about my chances as I have spent the first few hours […]

Fantasy Basketball Breakouts or Fake Outs?

We've reached a pivotal point in the fantasy basketball season, where we must evaluate our rosters and ask some crucial questions. How do we evaluate the players on our roster and their current performance? Is it reasonable to expect them to play better or worse going forward? It's a crucial time in the season as […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire: Week 13

It's an absolute "streamers' dream" this week as we have no fewer than six (and no more than nine) games every day in Week 13. We do have some teams on two-game weeks to avoid, and one team with the coveted five-game week as well. As a reminder, I have been using the 25% rostered […]

Who to Drop or Hold in Fantasy Basketball

As injuries continue to pile up across the league, managing a fantasy basketball roster has become increasingly more difficult this season, and tough decisions have to be made. Most leagues only allow two or three IL spots for injured players, so managers have to choose wisely as to which injured players they hold and which […]
