NBA DFS Prop Picks for PrizePicks: Friday, May 20th
The Warriors are a hard team to dislike. Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green all play the game with an unrivaled passion and precise execution that deservingly keeps their team in a winning mindset during some of the most insurmountable circumstances. Golden State's defense has never been their selling point, but it's remarkable that... Read More

The Miami Heat won their series against the 76ers last night and the Milwaukee Bucks have their first chance to try and close out this relentless Celtics team.

Last game between the Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics was enlightening. The Bucks choked away at least a 12-point second-half lead and Al Horford was the lead engineer in the dismantling. Though Boston exposed major weaknesses in the Bucks offense, Milwaukee kept finding ways into the paint through Brook Lopez and the Celtics lack of... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for PrizePicks: Friday, May 6th
Although PrizePicks has a couple options from Saturday’s games as well, this article focuses solely on Friday’s slate. With both higher seeded teams up 2-0 and playing away, there is always a chance that playing at home can inspire some of the younger, less experienced players and shift the momentum of the series. As always,... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for PrizePicks: Wednesday, May 4th
Tuesday nights slate of games came in two waves. The first wave being Jaylen Brown scoring over 24 points for the first time all postseason, complementing Jayson Tatum’s 29 points and securing a near 20 point win over Milwaukee. The second being whatever was going through Dillon Brooks mind to put him in the infamy... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for PrizePicks: Wednesday, April 27th
Two games on Wednesday with mirroring Game 5’s. Both series are at 3-1 with the favored team playing the elimination game at home. The Nuggets won the last game on the backs of Monte Morris, Nikola Jokic, and Bones Hyland, but lightning struck once and consistent longevity hasn’t been Denver’s strong suit outside of their...

The Atlanta Hawks are the only team playing Friday yet to win a game in their series. Assuming home-court advantage is the X-factor you need to win against the Miami Heat, or any team for that matter, creates nothing but false hope. All season, the Heat guards have been the single-most effective backcourt in stopping... Read More

Early betting projections have to be one of the best aspects of playoff basketball from an off-the-court perspective. With so much time to digest past games and analyze future ones, projections come out early and in bulk, making it easy for bettors to take their time on set-combination-parlay sites like PrizePicks, MonkeyKnifeFight, Underdog, and so...

NBA DFS Prop Picks for PrizePicks: Friday, April 15th
Now that the playoffs are in full swing, there won’t be any slates containing more than four games and after the first round, that shifts to just two games a night. PrizePicks is way ahead of you, posting options all the way through Sunday, even offering a one-time deal on Joel Embiid’s Saturday matchup. Rotations... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for PrizePicks: Friday, April 8th
Friday hits us with nine games consisting of just one non-conference game, so with the season ending on a massive, 15-game Sunday, this is your second-to-last abundant slate. The Rockets and Raptors are secured in the standings and these last days don’t mean much to either team. Houston doesn’t have to adjust their roster to... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for PrizePicks: Wednesday, April 6th
Tuesday’s slate of games was pivotal to playoff seeding and now that the postseason teams are set, looking at betting on the regular season will cause serious problems if unprepared. With just six games in total, PrizePicks only has around fifteen options to choose from at this moment. Obviously, this will change, but the limited... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for PrizePicks: Friday, April 1st
April starts off with 10 games and just four teams playing on the second night of a back-to-back. The Pistons, Bucks, Clippers, and Lakers all played yesterday, but only the Eastern Conference teams came away with wins, despite both victories ultimately being meaningless. Unfortunately, for both LA teams, their competition tonight isn’t going to provide... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for PrizePicks: Wednesday, March 30th
There are three games tonight that carry serious playoff implications, all consisting of teams that are fighting for either a play-in spot or play-in seeding. First, being the Charlotte Hornets and New York Knicks, with the latter currently on the outside looking in, but on an impressive four-game-win-streak. The last time these teams met, it... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for PrizePicks: Sunday, March 27th
Seven games Sunday with an early 3PM EST tip-off between the Pistons and Knicks. Without Jerami Grant or Julius Randle this game, Cade Cunningham and R.J. Barrett are going to do most of the ball-handling, with Immanuel Quickley and Marvin Bagley as secondary options off the bench. There hasn’t been much consistency from either of... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for PrizePicks: Wednesday, March 23rd
Wednesday hits us with a heavy, 11-game slate, so expect more selections to come out as the day goes on. With few projections coming early today, it’s good to see most of the Brooklyn Nets already available, but with other potentially high-scoring affairs like 76ers-Lakers, Suns-Timberwolves, and Pacers-Kings yet to be posted, don’t feel inclined...

NBA DFS Prop Picks for PrizePicks: Friday, March 18th
It’s easy to get lost in all the chaos this time of year. Especially on nights with only one NBA game, those March Madness games have much more appeal…until you start actually watching them play. There’s a reason why the player who scored the most points in a basketball game yesterday was still an NBA... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for PrizePicks: Wednesday, March 16th
Wednesday’s 12-game slate makes for a great rebound from Tuesday’s grouping of just four games. Only one game finished within a 15-point win margin and the Detroit Piston continue to be a team that is playing well above what their record shows, despite losing to good teams. Phoenix and New Orleans played a tightly contested... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for PrizePicks: Friday, March 11th
For the first time in what was probably years for most NBA fans, they finally watched a full-game from start to finish. There’s no saying how much of the actual game they saw, but with the only two games being televised, it’s fair to say that more people watched this game then say, a Detroit... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for PrizePicks: Wednesday, March 9th
Wednesday is a massive 12-game slate and PrizePicks is slowly getting more and more of their props up, so what we’re working with isn’t ideal, but even this early, there’s plenty to work with. Specifically, there are four games that can’t be missed tonight, three being inter-conference matchups and the last being a matchup between... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for PrizePicks: Sunday, March 6th
With a nine-game slate, options aren’t a problem. However, Sunday morning only offers two games to choose from, Suns @ Bucks and Knicks @ Clippers. When the New York and Los Angeles played in January, the primary options for each team took over and were the few options to find space among the defenses. It... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 3/4/22 - Monkey Knife Fight
The end of the NBA season is a double-edged sword. The closer we get to the finish, the more the games either do, or don’t matter. Sounds dumb, but depending on where exactly you are in the standings, some games simply don’t matter. Tonight, every game carries some type of weight, even a matchup between... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 3/2/22 - Monkey Knife Fight
Competition increases every night and every one of last night’s games came down to the waning minutes of the fourth quarter. The NBA is in a great spot right now, all thanks to the players.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 2/27/22 - Monkey Knife Fight
Eight games on this wonderful Sunday starting with two, inter-conference games carrying significant playoff implications. The new-look 76ers and Knicks kick everything off with a 1:00PM EST start, followed by the Jazz versus a Chris Paul-less Suns team. After the All-Star break, consistency and the NBA don’t really see eye-to-eye, so expect a lot these... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 2/25/22 - Monkey Knife Fight
Basketball was gone for too long and yesterday’s games featured all inter-conference matchups in some quality, semi-competitive basketball. Nearly every game was close for the first half, but the healthier, better equipped team won in nearly every case and three conference powerhouses, the Warriors, Suns, and Celtics, all dominated when it mattered, late in their...

There are only two days left until the All-Star break, but rarely will these massive slates mean low-quality basketball. The competition, if anything, has revved up in these last couple weeks and with multiple trades impacting teams in pivotal playoff seeding positions, the rest of the season is going to revolve around shifting team dynamics...

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 2/11/22 - Monkey Knife Fight
Another massive trade has blown the doors of this season wide open. Joel Embiid was already putting up career-high numbers with little support in the backcourt and there’s no saying how much adding James Harden can boost his production. Obviously, Embiid’s usage will go down in certain areas and some stats will naturally fall to... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 2/9/22 - Monkey Knife Fight
There might only be six games Wednesday, but two massive trades yesterday make the last games of the night enormous question marks right until tip-off. C.J. McCollum and Larry Nance Jr. were traded to the Pelicans in exchange for Josh Hart, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker essentially, and Domantas Sabonis, Justin Holiday, and Jeremy Lamb were traded...

A nine-game slate this Friday opens up the weekend with seven interconference matchups. Between Cavaliers-Hornets and Raptors-Hawks, there are plenty of playoff implications on the line and we are going to see these specific matchups quite a few more teams before the season concludes.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/31/22 - Monkey Knife Fight
Monday’s eight game slate features four teams on the second night of a back-to-back. The Hawks and Clippers should be relatively fresh with their starters playing lower-end minutes, and the Cavaliers and Trail Blazers will desperately want to win at least one leg of their back-to-back, after both teams had chances to win their Sunday...

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/28/22 - Monkey Knife Fight
Nights where there are only two NBA games usually means the following day’s slate is going to be massive. With 11 games scheduled, MonkeyKnifeFight only has five games up so far, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t areas to attack this early. Unbelievably, even though only four teams played yesterday, two of those teams, the... Read More
