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... Read More

Monkey Knife Fight only has four contests listed so far, but Friday's compact seven-game slate is full of potential.

Nine games on Monday's slate are headlined by the surging Phoenix Suns and Giannis Antetokounmpo's Milwaukee Bucks.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 4/14 - Monkey Knife Fight
There are 12 games Wednesday, including an early game between the Timberwolves and Bucks.

The way things have been going, unpredictability has... Read More

There is an eight-game slate Monday and last night ended in terrible fashion.

Although there are seven games on Friday's slate, only five games have been posted so far.

Both Steph Curry and Damian Lillard like to engage in... Read More

While superstars are arguably easing their workload in... Read More

With a nine-game slate Wednesday, the action picks up right where it left off.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for Monday (2/22/21) - Monkey Knife Fight
Not the biggest slate to start off the week, but six games is enough after last nights Clippers-Nets contest, where viewers and, most likely, players were left with a sour aftertaste.
