NBA DFS Prop Picks for Monday (1/11/21) - Monkey Knife Fight

There are eight games Monday and with all the news of COVID, you need to pay attention to who is playing in each game. Monkey Knife Fight cancels games that a contest player doesn't play in, so you are free from throwing away money, but we want contests to play in. All the games have […]

Yogi Ferrell Joins Cavs

Free-agent guard Yogi Ferrell has reportedly signed a 10-day contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The organization will use their hardship exception to bring in Ferrell. This team has been destroyed by injuries, so Ferrell will immediately see significant playing time. He could join the rotation as early as Monday's contest. There's not a ton of […]

Reggie Bullock Remains Out On Monday

New York Knicks guard Reggie Bullock (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. This is a tough blow to the Knicks who are already shorthanded. They will be forced to continue to lean on Austin Rivers, which is never a fun sentence to write. Possibly, rookie Immanuel Quickley gets more […]

Kristaps Porzingis Ready To Play

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) is ready to make his season debut. Sadly, Monday's contest has been postponed, so fantasy managers will have to wait a little longer. The expectation is that the Mavs would ease Porzingis back into action. Fantasy managers will need to be patient with Porzingis, but it should pay off […]

Evan Fournier Continues To Sit Out

Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This will be the sixth game in a row that Fournier has missed. It's unclear when he'll get back on the court. James Ennis will continue to start, but hasn't done anything worth rostering him in fantasy leagues.

Russell Westbrook Likely Out A Week

Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook (quad) is expected to miss at least a week of action. This is a big blow to the Wizards who just lost Thomas Bryant (knee) to a season-ending injury. Bradley Beal (rest) is expected to be ready for Monday's contest, so he'll see his usage skyrocket. Deni Avdija could end […]

Joel Embiid Cleared To Play On Monday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) will be available for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Embiid is dealing with minor back tightness, but it won't be enough to hold him out. The Sixers are desperate for help with so many of their players sidelined at the moment. Embiid should see all the minutes he […]

DeMar DeRozan Won't Play Against Thunder

San Antonio Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan (personal) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This marks the second game in a row that DeRozan will be sidelined due to personal reasons. It's unclear if DeRozan will be ready for Thursday's contest, but until then Rudy Gay and LaMarcus Aldridge should […]

John Wall Sits Out Of Practice

Houston Rockets guard John Wall (head) was unable to practice on Monday. He sat out with a migraine and is listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest. This seems like a minor issue, so most likely Wall will play in this game. Otherwise, James Harden and Eric Gordon would see more chances with the ball.

Devin Vassell Questionable For Tuesday

San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He tweaked his knee during Sunday's game, but hopefully it's nothing serious. It sounds like minor knee soreness, but the Spurs might play it safe here. Rudy Gay could see extended playing time, assuming Vassell sits. […]

Celtics-Bulls Called Off For Tuesday Amid COVID-19 Issues

The Boston Celtics' ongoing COVID-19 concerns have dealt the team a second consecutive postponement, this time wiping their game versus the Bulls on Tuesday from the slate. Following Jayson Tatum's positive test, the team does not have the minimum number of players (eight) available as they continue to work through the contract tracing process. Sunday's […]

Pelicans-Mavericks Postponed Monday Due To COVID-19 Issues

The contest scheduled between the New Orleans Pelicans and Dallas Mavericks that was set to take place Monday has been postponed due to the league's COVID-19 protocols surrounding the Mavericks and their ability to put enough players on the court. Dallas would not have been able to meet the requisite number of players, which currently […]

Fantasy Basketball Deep League Targets: Week 4

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 […]

Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers - Week 4

Here we go again. This past week we have seen four teams with positive or inconclusive COVID-19 tests, leading to quite a few key players quarantine. We even saw the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics game postponed Sunday (even though the Denver Nuggets vs. Philadelphia 76ers game on Saturday should have also been postponed). Streaming […]

Pascal Siakam Posts Game-High 25 Points On Sunday

Toronto Raptors power forward Pascal Siakam had a game-high 25 points in Sunday's narrow 106-105 loss to Golden State, shooting 9-for-19 from the field and capping things off with 11 rebounds to post his third double-double of the season. Siakam, who went 2-for-4 from deep, added three assists in 40 minutes of action with two […]

Stephen Curry Has Career-Worst Shooting Night

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry had the worst shooting night of his career on Sunday, but the team still managed to beat Toronto 106-105. The former MVP, who recently posted a career-high 62 points against Portland, finished with 12.5 percent shooting from the field after connecting on only two of his 16 attempts. […]

Draymond Green Just Misses Triple-Double On Sunday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green got close to a triple-double on Sunday, finishing a 106-105 win over Toronto with 10 points, 10 assists, and nine rebounds. He also had one block in 29 minutes, while shooting 3-for-8 from the field and 2-for-5 from beyond the arc. Starting the season injured has put a dent […]

RJ Barrett Ties Season Low With Nine Points In Defeat

New York Knicks shooting guard/small forward RJ Barrett was held to just nine points on 4-for-13 shooting during Sunday's loss to the Nuggets. Barrett tied his season low in scoring, being held to nine points for the second time in his past three games. His night wasn't a clunker though, as he was able to […]

Nikola Jokic Stretches Double-Double Streak To 10 Games

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic has played in 10 games thus far in 2020-21, having logged at least a double-double in all of them after going for 22 points and 10 rebounds in Sunday's win over the Knicks. As has become Jokic's habit, he also contributed as a passer, dishing out five dimes to go […]

Julius Randle Compiles Eighth Straight Double-Double

New York Knicks power forward/center Julius Randle continued his immense breakout to begin the 2020-21 season by notching yet another double-double during Sunday's loss to Denver. Randle finished with 29 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists across his 38 minutes, utilizing his whopping time on the floor on a nightly basis to amass career highs […]

Christian Wood Nets 23 Points In Losing Effort

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood paced his team in points in a 120-102 loss to the Lakers. Wood scored 23 points with three boards, one assist, one triple, and a block in 32 minutes. The former Piston has been a fantasy beast this year, as he's scored 20-plus in all seven contests to begin the […]

Talen Horton-Tucker Delivers Useful Line Against Rockets

Los Angeles Lakers forward Talen Horton-Tucker scored a season-high 17 points in a win over Houston on Sunday. Horton-Tucker added five rebounds, four steals, three assists, and two triples in 21 minutes off the bench. Wesley Matthews (Achilles) was out with Achilles soreness, so Horton-Tucker's two-way play was a much-needed spark off the bench for […]

Anthony Davis Scores Game-High 27 Points In Victory

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis dropped 27 points in a 120-102 win over the Rockets. Davis added four boards, three blocks, and a steal in 30 minutes, as the Lakers won their fourth game out of their past five. Davis was a but quiet by his standards in December, though he has been his […]

Kevin Durant Produces Big Performance In Return

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant, who missed a week due to COVID-19, came back with a bang on Sunday, scoring a season-high 36 points on 11-for-21 shooting in a losing effort against OKC. He also picked up 11 rebounds for his third double-double in four games, and he polished off his line with four assists […]

Fantasy Basketball 9-Cat Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 4

Well, we knew things wouldn't go smoothly all year. COVID-19 has hit the NBA. The Sixers just played a game with seven players. Jayson Tatum is quarantining. Things are a mess. This is going to be an odd year, and this week is when that oddity really starts to hit. What guys should you be […]
