It wasn't a great shooting performance from the talented big man, but he did hit 3-for-7 from downtown. The awful Timberwolves have now […]

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday was everywhere on the court in Thursday's losing effort against the Rockets, picking up 29 points, 10 assists, four rebounds, four blocks and two steals with a single turnover in 38 minutes. He had a huge fourth quarter, which included a pair of big blocks and a stretch where […]

Christian Wood Goes For 31 Points Thursday Night

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood had a superb 6-for-10 shooting night from downtown en route to 31 points in Thursday's win over Milwaukee. He shot 10-for-21 overall from the field with a 5-for-6 record at the foul line. Following a couple of huge double-doubles, Wood missed the column this time by one rebound, but he […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for Friday (4/30/21) - Monkey Knife Fight

Friday's slate of eight games follows a wretched Thursday full of injuries and inconsistencies. Luckily, a few 40-point games and one massive 50-point outing from Kevin Porter Jr. salvaged what was an otherwise mediocre night of basketball. Heading into Friday, there's no shortage of exciting matchups. Only two games are posted on MonkeyKnifeFight.com thus far, […]

Marvin Bagley III Could Return Against Lakers

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley III (hand) is listed as probable ahead of Friday's matchup against the Lakers. The 22-year-old hasn't seen the floor since the middle of March after missing time due to a broken left 4th Metacarpal. With Harrison Barnes (hip) out against Los Angeles, Bagley could be a sneaky fantasy option, although […]

Royce O’Neale Questionable Against Phoenix

Utah Jazz forward Royce O'Neale (wrist) may not play on Friday against the Suns. The 27-year-old is currently dealing with soreness in his right wrist, an unfortunate development considering the team will be down both Mike Conley (hamstring) and Donovan Mitchell (ankle) against Phoenix. If O'Neale doesn't suit up, look for Georges Niang to be […]

Mike Conley Still Dealing With Bum Hamstring

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (hamstring) is listed as out for Friday's matchup against the Phoenix Suns. The veteran is dealing with right hamstring tightness once again, an injury that has plagued him for quite some time. With Donovan Mitchell (ankle) also out, look for Jordan Clarkson to gain a hefty increase in fantasy value […]

Nikola Vucevic Likely To Suit Up Against Milwaukee

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (hip) is likely to play on Friday against the Bucks. The veteran is dealing with a right Adductor strain, and although he has a probable designation, fantasy managers should keep an eye on him leading up to opening tip. Without Zach LaVine, who will remain out while adhering to the […]

Otto Porter Jr. To Miss Another One

Orlando Magic forward Otto Porter Jr. (foot) will not play on Friday against the Grizzlies. The veteran has missed nearly a month of action while tending to soreness in his left foot. With the team looking toward next season and beyond, Porter may not be in the lineup for the remainder of the year, opening […]

Terrence Ross Doubtful Again

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (back) is doubtful to play against the Memphis Grizzlies. The veteran has missed his previous six outings while dealing with spasms in his lower back. With Michael Carter-Williams (ankle) also out on Friday night, Gary Harris and Dwayne Bacon both have equally enticing fantasy upsides.

Grayson Allen Unlikely To Suit Up Against Orlando

Memphis Grizzlies guard Grayson Allen (hand) is listed as doubtful for Friday's matchup against the Orlando Magic. The former Blue Devil suffered a left-hand injury on Wednesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Without the 25-year-old in the equation, Desmond Bane and De'Anthony Melton could see their fantasy values increase.

Jaren Jackson Jr. To Rest Versus Magic

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) will rest on Friday against Orlando. The 21-year-old will get the night off against the Magic as he continues to work his way back to full capacity after having surgery to repair a torn left meniscus back in August. Without him, Brandon Clarke will likely be the one […]

Isaiah Hartenstein Remains Out Against Washington

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Isaiah Hartenstein (concussion) is out for Friday's matchup against the Wizards. The 22-year-old will miss another one as he continues to work his way back from concussion protocol. With Larry Nance Jr. (thumb) and Taurean Prince (ankle) also out, Jarrett Allen and Kevin Love should continue to get plenty of run up […]

Collin Sexton Could Play On Friday Evening

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton (concussion) is listed as questionable for Friday's encounter with the Washington Wizards. This is a step in the right direction as the 22-year-old continues to work his way through concussion protocol. However, if he doesn't play, anticipate Darius Garland to pick up things on the offensive end, with Cedi Osman […]

Kemba Walker Doubtful For Friday Night

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (oblique) is listed as doubtful ahead of Friday's matchup against San Antonio. This isn't surprising as the veteran has missed the team's previous two contests, and with the postseason right around the corner, he will likely sit out another one. Without him, expect Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum to pick […]

Isaiah Stewart Has Double-Double Against Mavericks

Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart finished with 20 points, 10 rebounds, three blocks, and one steal in 29 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Mavericks. Stewart has been effective in getting a solid number of rebounds and points in recent games, but not both at the same time, which slightly affects his fantasy value. Overall, […]

Frank Jackson Posts 20 Points Against Dallas

Detroit Pistons guard Frank Jackson finished with 20 points, three rebounds, and one assist in 27 minutes off the bench during Thursday's loss to the Mavs. Jackson has quietly been effective the past few games as Detroit is dealing with injuries to a few guards. The 2017 pick has posted at least 18 points in […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Erupts For 42 Points Against Detroit

Dallas Mavericks forward Tim Hardaway Jr. racked up 42 points, one rebound, three assists, and one steal in 36 minutes during Thursday's win over Detroit. Hardaway was fantastic with Luka Doncic (elbow) out and shouldered much of the scoring load. The forward is only averaging 15.6 points per game and posted 15 points or more […]

Caris LeVert Scores 36 Points Against Nets

Indiana Pacers shooting guard Caris Levert showed no mercy against his former team on Thursday, finishing a 130-113 loss to Brooklyn with 36 points on 14-for-24 shooting. He completely took over the offense after Malcolm Brogdon hurt his hamstring and had to leave the game. LeVert was 5-for-9 with the three-ball and shot 3-for-3 at […]

Alize Johnson Posts 20-20 Game On Thursday

Brooklyn Nets forward Alize Johnson had 20-20 vision in Thursday's 130-113 victory over the Pacers, providing 20 points and 21 rebounds off the bench with three assists and two blocks in 32 minutes. He finished with 7-for-12 shooting from the floor and went 6-for-6 at the charity stripe. Johnson hasn't played much for the Nets, […]

Kevin Durant Drops 42 Points On Indiana

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant matched his season high with 42 points on 16-for-24 shooting in Thursday's win over Indiana, hitting 2-for-4 from downtown and 8-for-8 at the foul line. He also posted a double-double by handing out 10 assists with three rebounds and one steal. The Nets have eased him back into action following […]

DraftKings EuroLeague DFS Lineup Picks for 4/30/21 - Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

CSKA advanced to their tenth consecutive EuroLeague Final Four on Wednesday and Real Madrid made sure we will have at least one Game 5 by beating Efes twice at home this week. Barcelona tries to pull off the reverse sweep today. Milan is trying to get to its first EuroLeague Final Four in 29 years. […]

Kristaps Porzingis, Josh Richardson Cleared To Play

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) and forward Josh Richardson (hamstring) will suit up for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Both players were questionable coming into this one, but will suit up with Luka Doncic (elbow) out of action. That being said, both players will be asked to carry a heavier load on offense […]

Clint Capela, Bogdan Bogdanovic Questionable For Friday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (heel) and guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Capela has been battling a back issue as well, so the team might take the cautious approach here. Onyeka Okongwu and Nathan Knight would be asked to split up the minutes if Capela […]

Trae Young Might Return Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He has missed a little over a week of action, but it sounds like Young is getting closer to returning. Brian Goodwin, Kris Dunn, and Lou Williams would be asked to pick up the slack, assuming Young misses […]

Kevin Huerter Won't Play Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He will miss his second game in a row, but Huerter was able to get up some shots on Thursday. Lou Williams could be asked to carry a heavy workload, assuming Trae Young (ankle) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) […]
