Fantasy Basketball Deep League Adds: Week 19

The deeper a fantasy league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to help […]

Derrick Rose Misses Just Three Shots During 24-Point Night

New York Knicks point guard Derrick Rose provided 24 points on 8-for-11 shooting in Sunday's blowout win over Houston, adding six rebounds, four assists and one steal with one turnover in 31 minutes off the bench.

Julius Randle Scores 31 Points In Three Quarters

New York Knicks power forward Julius Randle scored a game-high 31 points on 13-for-22 shooting in three quarters against the Rockets on Sunday with seven rebounds, six assists and one steal. The game turned into an ugly blowout, so his services weren't needed in the final 12 minutes. Randle continued his hot streak from deep […]

Luka Doncic Notches 30 Points Before Getting Ejected

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic led all scorers with 30 points in Sunday's loss to Sacramento but wasn't able to finish the game after he was ejected for a second technical foul in the final minute of play. The Slovenian superstar is now just one technical short of a one-game suspension. Doncic posted a […]

Marvin Bagley III Has Strong Game Against Dallas

Sacramento Kings power forward Marvin Bagley III looked good in his second game back from injury on Sunday, finishing a 111-99 win over the Mavericks with 23 points, nine rebounds, three assists and one steal.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo led the team in both scoring (20) and in assists (10) during Sunday's road victory over Charlotte.

Jayson Tatum Keeps Crushing It

NBA DFS Prop Picks for Monday (5/3/21) - Monkey Knife Fight

In the midst of inconsistencies, the only thing we know for certain Monday is that eight games are on the schedule. Even that is subject to change during these times, but at least teams are getting themselves ready for the playoffs or last-second playoff pushes. Whether they are playing well is beside the point, because […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Out Against Magic

Detroit Pistons guard Dennis Smith Jr. (knee) is out once again on Monday night. The 23-year-old has missed his previous 11 contests due to left knee soreness, and with the 2021 campaign coming to an end, we may have seen the last of him this season. Cory Joseph (ankle) is also out against Orlando, so […]

Mason Plumlee To Rest On Monday

Detroit Pistons center Mason Plumlee (rest) will not play on Monday night against Orlando. The veteran has missed the team's previous two games for the same reason, and with the Pistons looking toward at next year, Isaiah Stewart could remain the starter during the final eight games. Stewart had a decent outing against the Hornets […]

Jerami Grant Out Again On Monday Night

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (knee) will sit out on Monday night against Orlando. The veteran has missed the previous two games due to soreness in his right knee, and with the team looking toward next season, he likely won't be rushed back into action. With the Pistons also down Dennis Smith Jr. (knee), Mason […]

Goga Bitadze Questionable Again

Indiana Pacers center Goga Bitadze (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against the Wizards. The big man suffered a sprained left ankle a few weeks ago and has been riding this same designation for quite some time. With the team down Jakarr Sampson (concussion) and Myles Turner (toe), Bitadze has a chance to […]

Jakarr Sampson Out Against Washington

Indiana Pacers forward Jakarr Sampson (concussion) will not play on Monday evening against Washington. The journeyman was placed in concussion protocol, and after having not played against OKC on Saturday, he will now miss another one in a favorable matchup against the Wizards. Luckily, Domantas Sabonis (back) returned against the Thunder, so even if Sampson […]

Malcolm Brogdon Questionable For Monday Night

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of the matchup against the Pacers on Monday night. The 28-year-old wasn't in the lineup on Saturday against OKC and now is in jeopardy of sitting out another one. With the team down a handful of reliable options already, Domantas Sabonis and Caris Levert […]

Dennis Schroder Will Sit Out Against Raptors

Los Angeles Lakers guard Dennis Schroder will not play against Toronto on Sunday night. The veteran will miss time to adhere to the league's safety protocols surrounding COVID-19. Schroder is no stranger to the policy, as he popped up on the list back in February and didn't play in four games as a result. Without […]

Gary Trent Jr. Out Again

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (leg) will not play against the Lakers on Sunday night. The sophomore has missed the team's previous four contests while dealing with a bruise on his left leg. With Fred VanVleet (hip) also out, Rodney Hood may start, although he should be classified as a dart throw with upside […]

Fred VanVleet Out On Sunday Night

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (hip) will not play against the Lakers. The 27-year-old will get the night off to rest a nagging left hip flexor strain that forced him to miss time at the beginning of the month. With Gary Trent Jr. (left leg contusion) also out, Rodney Hood could be in line for […]

Anthony Davis Will Play Against Toronto

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (calf) is listed as available for Sunday's matchup against Toronto. The 28-year-old was riding a probable tag throughout the day, so his availability against the Raptors shouldn't come as a surprise. However, with the Lakers playing the first half of a back-to-back, Davis may end up sitting more if […]

LeBron James Will Play Against Toronto

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) will suit up on Sunday evening against the Toronto Raptors. The former MVP returned from an extended absence due to a right ankle sprain on Friday and finished with 16 points, eight boards, seven assists, two steals, and a block. However, James is a risky fantasy option, primarily […]

Devonte' Graham Available Versus Heat

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte Graham (knee) will be available for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. He was questionable coming into the game, but it sounds like he felt fine during pregame warmups. Graham is expected to come off the bench with LaMelo Ball moving into the starting five. He should still see enough touches […]

Mike Conley Won't Play Monday

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. This marks the fourth game in a row that Conley has been sidelined. The fact he is being ruled out a full day in advance is not good news for fantasy managers. The Jazz are likely being […]
