Buccaneers Conclude First Round With Joe Tryon

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Washington edge rusher Joe Tryon with the No. 32 overall pick in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft on Thursday. Tryon is extremely versatile and gives the Bucs a hybrid body with a tough side. Tampa is likely hoping that he can take over on the defensive line […]

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, […]

Jayson Oweh Becomes Ravens Second First-Rounder

The Baltimore Ravens selected Penn State linebacker Jayson Oweh with the 31st overall pick of the first round of the 2021 NFL draft on Thursday night. The Ravens took Minnesota wide receiver Rashod Bateman with their first first-round pick at No. 27 overall. Oweh compares to Danielle Hunter physically and production-wise in college. He did […]

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 […]

MLB DFS Prop Picks for 4/30 - Monkey Knife Fight

Friday means a full schedule of games in Major League Baseball and that means a bunch of opportunities to play and win with Monkey Knife Fight.

Shane McClanahan Strikes Out Five In Debut

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Shane McClanahan struck out five batters in four innings of work on Thursday in a 3-2 loss to the Athletics. Making his major league debut, McClanahan allowed two runs on five hits and did not factor into the decision. McClanahan has been a strikeout machine through two seasons in the […]

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 […]

Greg Rousseau Joins The Bills In First Round

The Buffalo Bills selected University of Miami edge rusher Greg Rousseau with the 30th overall pick in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft on Thursday night. Rousseau was second in the nation in sacks in 2019 behind Chase Young, but he opted out of football in 2020 due to COVID-19. He needs to […]

Packers Bring In Eric Stokes At No. 29 Overall

The Green Bay Packers selected Georgia cornerback Eric Stokes with the No. 29 overall pick in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft on Thursday night. Stokes was seen as more of a track star than a football player at one point. He has extraordinary speed in the secondary and tested off the charts […]

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 […]

Saints Select Payton Turner With 28th Pick

The New Orleans Saints selected Houston defensive end Payton Turner with the No. 28 overall pick in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft on Thursday night. Turner had an excellent Senior Bowl week by getting after the quarterback, but there are durability concerns. He has plenty of length and ability off the edge […]

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 […]

Cedric Mullins Hits Walk-Off Sacrifice Fly Thursday

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins continued to produce at the plate in Thursday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Yankees, going 1-for-3 with a single, a walk, a strikeout, and a game-winning sacrifice fly. Mullins was able to lift a 10th-inning fly ball deep enough to left-center field to score Ramon Urias and end the game. […]

Ravens Draft Rashod Bateman With First Of Two First-Round Picks

The Baltimore Ravens selected Minnesota wide receiver Rashod Bateman with the 27th overall pick in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft on Thursday night. Bateman can play all over the field with inside and outside versatility and is a masterful route-runner with great ball skills, and he can also make things happen after […]

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 […]

Gregory Newsome II Taken By Browns At No. 26

The Cleveland Browns selected Northwestern cornerback Gregory Newsome II with the No. 26 overall pick in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft on Thursday night. He's the second Northwestern player to go in the first round this year. Newsome wasn't attacked much in coverage in college and must prove that he can stay […]

Jorge Lopez Takes No-Decision In Short Outing Thursday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Jorge Lopez did not factor in Thursday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Yankees. Lopez pitched just four innings, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks with three strikeouts. The 28-year-old has pitched relatively better over his last three starts, but still has a lackluster 4.85 ERA over those starts […]
