NBA DFS Prop Picks for Wednesday (5/12/21) - Monkey Knife Fight

Six games on Wednesday's slate is just the beginning of the end. There won't be any more night's with a seemingly endless amount of games, but that doesn't mean we don't have our fair share of options to bet on. The biggest cause of concern is who will be available and late scratches, so get […]

Devonte' Graham Returns With A Bang

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham was back in action on Tuesday against Denver, leading all scorers with 31 points in a 117-112 loss. He sat out four games with a left knee problem, before going off from the bench in 33 minutes with 7-for-14 shooting from deep. He finished with 10-for-19 shooting overall from the […]

Michael Porter Jr. Scores 30 Points In Tuesday's Win

Denver Nuggets small forward Michael Porter Jr. had a 30-point night against the Hornets on Tuesday, shooting 12-for-18 from the field and 6-for-10 from downtown in a 117-112 win. He pulled down six rebounds and had two steals and one assist with five turnovers in 35 minutes. Taking care of the rock was a problem […]

Nikola Jokic Has Busy Night At The Foul Line

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic scored 30 points in Tuesday's win over Charlotte, doing most of the scoring at the foul line with a 16-for-17 effort. He was only 6-for-17 from the field. However, it was another fantastic display from the Joker, as he added 11 rebounds and six assists to his line with two […]

Terrence Ross Still Dealing With Back Issues

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (back) is out on Tuesday against Milwaukee. The veteran hasn't been in the lineup for a while now as he continues to deal with back spasms. With the 2021 campaign coming to a close, the 30-year-old may have already played his final game this season. Otto Porter Jr.(foot), James Ennis […]

Ivica Zubac Will Remain Starting Center

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac will remain in the starting five going forward, according to head coach Ty Lue. The young big man took over the starting role when Serge Ibaka (back) went down in March. Ibaka has not played in a game since then and it sounds like he'll come off the bench […]

Joel Embiid Won't Play Against Pacers

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The superstar center is dealing with a non-COVID related illness. The Sixers are taking the cautious approach here with the No. 1 seed likely locked up. Dwight Howard should see a significant role in the rotation and could […]

Cedi Osman Could Sit Out On Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. He missed Monday's game, but the fact he is questionable is a step in the right direction. Darius Garland (ankle) remains sidelined, so Osman is an appealing fantasy option when he is actually healthy. Otherwise, Isaac Okoro could […]

Malik Beasley Unlikely To Play Again This Season

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Malik Beasley (hamstring) is unlikely to suit up again this season, according to head coach Chris Finch. This cannot come as shocking news for a player that has missed 17 straight games. The Wolves have no incentive to play Beasley with their current record and only a handful of games left in […]

Steven Adams Might Play On Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams (toe) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He has missed each of the last three games due to a toe issue. The Pelicans don't have any incentive to rush their players back to the court right now. His return would mean less minutes for […]

Daniel Theis Returning Against Nets

Chicago Bulls center Daniel Theis (hip) is available for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He missed Sunday's game, but it appears he is feeling well enough to suit up here. There is no word on Theis being limited, so fantasy managers can expect him to see his normal workload. Thaddeus Young and Lauri Markkanen […]

Patrick Beverley Moves Into Starting Five

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley will return to the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This is Beverley's first start since returning from injury. Reggie Jackson will shift to the bench, but should still see minutes in the 20s. Head coach Ty Lue prefers having Rajon Rondo and Jackson play together […]

Robert Williams III Sidelined For Tuesday's Game

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Miami Heat. He was only able to play 11 minutes on Sunday before exiting due to the pain in his toe. It sounds like he'll be day-to-day, but could possibly miss another game or two. In the meantime, Tristan Thompson […]

Bruce Brown Available Versus Bulls

Brooklyn Nets guard Bruce Brown (face) is available for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He is dealing with a facial contusion and it was unclear if he'd actually play on Tuesday. However, it sounds like he'll slide back into his normal role in the rotation. Sadly, Brown hasn't been very productive lately and can […]

Malcolm Brogdon, Edmond Sumner Out Against Sixers

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) and Edmond Sumner (knee) will not suit up for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Brogdon continues to deal with a lingering hamstring issue, so it's uncertain when he'll get back on the court. Sumner attempted to play on Monday, but only lasted 13 minutes. Aaron Holiday and T.J. […]

Jonas Valanciunas Likely Sitting Versus Dallas

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (back) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. It sounds like he is dealing with back soreness, so fantasy managers should consider Valanciunas day-to-day right now. Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) will join him on the sideline against Dallas. That means, Xavier Tillman and Brandon Clarke will […]

Chris Boucher Joins Starting Five Tuesday

Toronto Raptors center Chris Boucher (knee) will return to the rotation and join the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has been sidelined since late April, but it appears he's healthy enough to play. The Raptors are shorthanded, so Boucher should see all the minutes he can handle. There is […]

Devonte' Graham Is Available On Tuesday

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He has missed each of the last four games, but will suit up for this one. Sadly, Graham hasn't offered much in terms of fantasy production lately, so he'll be a risky option for Tuesday's slate. His return will mean […]

Aaron Gordon, Monte Morris Returning On Tuesday

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf) and guard Monte Morris (hamstring) are available for Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Gordon sat out one game due to a bruised calf, but it sounds like he won't be limited at all in his return. However, Gordon has really struggled lately, so he'll be a risky DFS […]

Isaac Okoro Notches First Career Double-Double

Cleveland Cavaliers small forward Isaac Okoro had a chance to celebrate his first career double-double on Monday when he picked up 22 points and 10 rebounds in a loss to Indiana. Dean Wade also posted his first-ever double-double with 19 points and 12 rebounds. With the Cavs finishing off a back-to-back set and short of […]

He shot 8-for-19 from the field and 2-for-4 from downtown. LeVert's line also included three rebounds, one steal, one block and one turnover. The former Net has […]
