NBA DFS Prop Picks for Monday (4/26/21) - Monkey Knife Fight

It's hard not to like the 11-game slate we have tonight. Unfortunately on paper, these games don't matchup well. Out of all 11-games, only two are between teams with winning records. Every other game consists of a team with a winning record playing a team with a losing record, but that's not enough of a reason to invest too much stock into that. It should be noted because in most cases, you will need a full workload from the starters to surpass their projected.

Regardless, with the amount of injuries and players resting, the determining factor will depend on availability until the rest of the season. Teams care more about playoff implications than your DFS score, so be aware before blindly betting on situations.

MonkeyKnifeFight.com continues to be ahead of the curve with their canceling of contests amid postponements, so don't worry about wasting money on a player or game that might not play. As always, you can find me in the NBA Chat Room or @HalfCourtJester on Twitter with any questions, especially since lines and players are subject to change throughout the day.

SAS @ WAS

Bradley Beal (WAS) MORE 31.5 Points - DeMar DeRozan (SAS) MORE 23.5 Points

The Wizards are on a eight-game winning streak and they have Bradley Beal to thank for that. In those eight games, Beal has scored less than 30-points one time, still scoring 29-points against the Warriors. The Spurs defense is technical and know how to pestering shooters, but Beal proves over and over again than defense doesn't matter when he has the ball.

For DeMar DeRozan, his consistency has been his calling card all season. With the weapons the Spurs are trying to utilize, they know they can't force-feed DeRozan every possession, although we know if anyone can handle the extra usage, it's him. Despite the Wizards winning, their defense is still struggling to limit opponents and that means DeRozan will be leading the charge for San Antonio.

PHX @ NYK

Julius Randle (NYK) MORE 27.5 Points - Devin Booker (PHX) MORE 26.5

Both these teams rank heavily in the bottom of the league for pace, and rarely will that lead to high-scoring, non-defensive matchups. The pace will have more of an impact on the rotational players, rather than Julius Randle, Devin Booker, and Chris Paul, who will still get more than their fair share of touches this game. Gut reaction assumes this game is a low-scoring, defensive-minded game, but Randle and Booker should still be carrying the offenses like usual.

LAC @ NOP

Zion Williamson (NOP) MORE 30.5 Points - Paul George (LAC) MORE 30.5

Over the last seven games, both the Pelicans and Clippers defensive rating has ranked them in the top ten, but looking at each game specifically, it hasn't been their defenses that have been keeping them in games. Zion Williamson has scored over 20-points in his last nine games, while Paul George is posting a 32 PPG average over the last two weeks.

The availability of Kawhi Leonard will only slightly impact George's production and it's going on multiple seasons of George still playing excellent basketball alongside fellow All-Stars. There should be little doubt for either of these players to score against these defenses, so although the pace will be on the faster side and both teams will have contributions coming from all over the rotation, if there are two people that will have an undeniable impact on this game, it's Paul George and Zion Williamson.
