Patty Mills (PG/SG, BKN): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of leagues ANALYSIS: The best fantasy GMs have always said that leagues aren't won by draft day, but rather through the in-season waiver-wire management. And they could very well be right, considering fools out there are still passing on Patty Mills and his half-Yahoo availability.... Read More
Malik Monk (PG/SG, LAL): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of leagues ANALYSIS: This might not be entirely true, but wins are starting to pile up for the Lakers and that started to happen the minute Malik Monk was put into the starting lineup. As real as it gets. It's been four weeks in a... Read More
Herb Jones (SF/PF, NOLA): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of leagues ANALYSIS: The New Orleans Pelicans might not be so good, but that also might mean that they are fully committed to developing their young building blocks. It is not that NOLA is throwing the season away while waiting for Zion's comeback (if that... Read More
Eric Bledsoe (PG/SG, LAC): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of leagues ANALYSIS: Seven games played by the Clippers after Christmas, and six starts for Eric Bledsoe in this span (to go with another 36-minute outing as part of the starting five on Dec. 22). Bledsoe has taken full advantage of the Clips woes on... Read More
Alec Burks (PG/SG/SF, NYK): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of leagues ANALYSIS: I guess there are no doubts left regarding where the Knicks are at in their process to contention after what happened in 2021 and the start of 2022: nowhere close to the chip, that's where. The Knicks are a borderline play-in team... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/7 - Monkey Knife Fight
Friday is a jampacked nine-game slate and if you weren’t satisfied with last nights grouping of games, today has much more to offer. First things first, small slates usually mean there will be a limited number of teams playing two games in two days, so it’s already looking positive that every team will be arguably... Read More
Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (1/5/21)
Monday I kept it to only two picks and a teaser and we went 1-1 as the Grizzlies took care of business but the Miami-Golden State game went over its total and the Rockets totally collapsed in the fourth quarter to lose by 20 points. We live to fight another day and there just happens... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/5 - Monkey Knife Fight
Wednesday hits us with a massive 11-game slate and there are only two teams playing on the second night of a back-to-back. The Sacramento Kings lost to the Lakers last night and host the Atlanta Hawks one game after Trae Young scored 56 points on 26 shots. While Sacramento's rotation looks sustainable for the first...

Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 12: Devin Vassell, Patrick Beverley, Mason Plumlee, Nicolas Claxton
If you're one of those fantasy basketball players that sets a lineup at the beginning of the week, checks out, and then comes back seven days later to see how things shook out, this post is not for you. This is for those who are grinding through each day and keeping track of categories as... Read More

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/3 - Monkey Knife Fight
This weekend featured plenty of exciting games, but throughout all 13 games, only one player scored 50 points. Jaylen Brown was unstoppable against the Magic and even though Orlando had the opportunity to win this game outright, their defense had no answer and seemingly no adjustments within the second half of the game. Boston doesn't... Read More
Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (1/3/21)
Welcome to the first NBA Best Bets of the new year! I won't lie, things have been incredibly dicey betting on the NBA over the last few weeks, but we've still managed to hit some bets and if anything, I've actually been playing more DFS and betting player props more often because of the unpredictability...

Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 12: Herbert Jones, Nicolas Claxton, Malik Monk, Otto Porter Jr.
Hope everyone had a fantastic holiday season, but I'm back and ready to keep kicking butt in fantasy basketball. We're getting into the true grind of the season where things get kind of boring and predictable, only we're dealing with COVID so nothing is like that ever. Still, there should be value to have here... Read More
Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 12
The deeper a fantasy basketball 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... Read More
Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 12
Welcome back to the waiver wire! Need to bolster your flailing team? We've got you covered. Maybe. With this current COVID situation going on, we might have you covered. IDK. Half the guy on this list might end up not playing. We'll see. These recommendations are mainly for 9-cat leagues, but if you play in another... Read More
Malik Monk (PG/SG, LAL): Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of leagues ANALYSIS: Kendrick Nunn and Anthony Davis are the only players out of the Lakers rotation entering 2022. The former has yet to play his first minutes donning Purple and Gold threads, and the latter should stay out for almost a month. Even then,... Read More
Terance Mann (SG/SF, LAC): Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Clips are missing Paul George now and for the next three/four weeks. The Clips are, too, missing Kawhi for the full regular season. Brandon Boston Jr. just hit the protocols. And all of that made possible Terance Mann's comeback to the... Read More
Eric Bledsoe (PG/SG, LAC): Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 59% of leagues ANALYSIS: Yes, I know we're stretching things a bit talking about a near-60% rostered player, but Eric Bledsoe is well worth the WW look just in case and much more the WW post this weekend. The Clippers' shelves are absolutely stacked these days... Read More
Alec Burks (PG/SG/SF, NYK): Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of leagues ANALYSIS: Kemba Walker missed three weeks of play from the end of November to mid-December as he came back to Thibs' rotation on Dec. 18 to score 29 points. Not bad. He even doubled-down on that with another 21-8-5 performance three days later,... Read More
Payton Pritchard (PG, BOS): Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: Just in case: Dennis Schroder has missed time of late hitting the protocols but should be back from that as soon as possible. That, along with Marcus Smart also being back after missing a week, will cut Pritchard's upside down a bit,... Read More
DeMarcus Cousins (PF/C, MIL): Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Bucks have three players on the shelves exiting 2021 and that means they are legit one of the healthiest teams in the Association. Really. Khris Middleton and Semi Ojeleye are out per team reports, and Brook Lopez will most probably miss... Read More
Eric Gordon (SG/SF, HOU): Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Rockets started the year thinking about stinking so they applied a Hard-Tank model not giving Gordon a single chance at starting games until Nov. 17, 12 games into the season already. Since that game, though, Eric G. has started all games... Read More
Gary Harris (SG/SF, ORL): Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 33% of leagues ANALYSIS: I don't think there is a team currently being hit harder by injuries/protocols as the Magic are these days. Orlando is missing all of Ross, Bamba, RoLo, Cole Anthony, Fultz, Okeke, and rookie-sensation Jalen Suggs. It's borderline impossible to think something like... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 12/31 - Monkey Knife Fight
Ten games Friday with an early start between the Suns and Celtics, featuring Devin Booker, Chris Paul, and Jaylen Brown. Jayson Tatum remains out and Brown has scored at least 25 points in his last five games so there's going to be upside as long as he's available. Following that, the Pacers host the Bulls... Read More

It's the last NBA slate of the year! Happy New Years' Eve, my fellow NBA brethren and welcome back to my NBA best bets article.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 12/29 - Monkey Knife Fight
Nine games Wednesday with five teams playing on the second night of a back-to-back. The Miami Heat are one of those teams and, as of only a few minutes ago, sent three more players, P.J.

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (12/28/21)
What's up, NBA bettors? I apologize for missing my usual Monday article but my head was spinning yesterday as I tried to decipher that set of games and figure out who was going to actually play from each team. Christmas Day's picks didn't do so hot and I admittedly forced the issue a bit, giving... Read More
