Semi Ojeleye Draws Start For Monday’s Game

James Harden Earns Questionable Tag For Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard James Harden (neck) has been deemed questionable to suit up for Tuesday's game against Portland due to a sore neck.

Stanley Johnson Draws Start For Monday’s Contest

Toronto Raptors small/power forward Stanley Johnson will rejoin the starting five for Monday's game against Houston in place of OG Anunoby (rest).

Jayson Tatum Will Miss Monday’s Contest

NBA DFS Prop Picks for Monday (3/22/21) - Monkey Knife Fight

There is an eight-game slate Monday and last night ended in terrible fashion. Neither the Trail Blazers or Lakers were good enough to keep their games close, but Portland, at the very least has the excuse of playing the same team twice and not playing well. The Lakers, however, are in deep water and sinking. […]

Victor Oladipo Will Rest For Monday’s Contest

Houston Rockets point/shooting guard Victor Oladipo (rest) will not play in the second leg of the team's back-to-back Monday against the Raptors.
