Josh Christopher (SG, HOU): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: I have followed Josh Christopher aka Jaygup since his HS days, and I have always loved his game and his attitude on and off the court. Kid just gets it. JC won't end up making an All-Star, nor the HoF, nor whatever,... Read More
Malik Beasley (PG/SG, MIN): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 52% of leagues ANALYSIS: Malik Beasley has played 67 games this season. In other words, Malik Beasley has appeared in all but one game this season for the Wolves. Not only is he playing, but he's also getting his fair 25 MPG over the year. And... Read More
Jonathan Kuminga (SF/PF, GSW): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: We're getting closer to watching Draymond Green getting back to the court but given Golden State's current position in the standings (almost locked into the no. 3 seed) and the fact that there are only 15 games left on the schedule, would... Read More
Luke Kennard (SG, LAC): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: As much as it pains me, it looks like Paul George and Kawhi Leonard are really going to miss the full regular season and most probably the playoffs, delaying the Clips' chances at a deep postseason run one more year. The positive... Read More
Alec Burks (SG, NYK): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of leagues ANALYSIS: As ridiculous as it sounds, HC Tom Thibodeau has turned clear-cut wing Alec Burks into a point guard. I am not saying it has worked, no sir, but Thibs is so stubborn that he's just forcing this square peg into a round... Read More
Immanuel Quickley (PG/SG, NYK): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS: Are the Knicks tanking, or are the Knicks fighting for that play-in berth? Hard to tell with this wreck of a coach handling the rotation in Tom Thibodeau. If you ask me, I'd say the Knicks have found the sweet spot at... Read More
Malik Monk (SG/SF, LAL): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of leagues ANALYSIS: I guess when you have LeBron James playing for your side you're inevitably going to fall on some lucky Ws throughout the regular season. That said, the Lakers suck and there is nothing too crazy about thinking they could still miss the... Read More
Bruce Brown (SG/SF/PF, BKN): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's fascinating how this deep into the season writing about the Los Angeles Lakers and about the Brooklyn Nets is virtually the same, and entirely because of the wrong reasons. Anyway, we're here to discuss a bona fide positive the Nets found... Read More
Mason Plumlee (PF/C, CHA): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Hornets traded for Montrezl Harrell this past deadline. Although overall Harrell's minutes haven't gone down from those he was getting in Washington, they have cratered in March with three games at just 17 MP. Mason Plumlee has remained the big-boy paint-linchpin... Read More
Brandon Clarke (PF, MEM): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: Another week gone, another Sunday I find myself begging you to roster this monster of a bargain. Let me put it in a different way than you'll find elsewhere, just to see if I can finally convince you: Brandon Clarke has posted... Read More

Coming off a strong showing on Wednesday (5-2 and nearly 6-1 if not for the darn Celtics being unable to score one more basket in the final three minutes of an easy win!), I'm ready to get back at it with a solid 10-game Friday night slate! I did a weird thing yesterday - I... Read More
Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (3/9/22)
When you take a stand on games early in the day, sometimes the late injury news works out in your favor and sometimes it bites you. I was counting on Nikola Vucevic playing for Chicago on Monday night, but he didn't suit up and the Bulls failed to cover against the red-hot Sixers. We did... Read More
Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 21: Lonnie Walker IV, Jaxson Hayes, Patrick Beverley, Duncan Robinson

NBA Waiver Wire Streamers for Fantasy Basketball Week 20 (Mar 7 - Mar 13)
Most fantasy leagues start their playoffs either next week or in Week 21. Ahhh, don't you just love this time of the year!? Whether your playoffs have already started, or you're at the end of trying to make them in the first place (or just secure a better seed) there should be no more sentiment.... Read More

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 20: Immanuel Quickley, Donte DiVincenzo, Bones Hyland, Caleb Martin, Austin Reaves
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

So I took the weekend off from the NBA betting and just played a little DFS. Things are going to get interesting here down the stretch as most teams have about 18-20 games remaining in the regular season. We are seeing the playoff picture in both conferences shake out and some teams go full tank... Read More
Dorian Finney-Smith (SF/PF, DAL): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 44% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Mavs are sitting in the fifth seed out West as I'm writing this and through Friday games. It's going to be hard to see them fall below the sixth-place and into the play-in, but they will also have it hard to... Read More
Grant Williams (SF/PF, BOS): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: After a shaky start to the season, the Boston Celtics surely got things right of late and are currently boasting a tasty 8-2 record in their last 10 games through Friday thanks mostly to their stiff defensive efforts. We can't say Grant... Read More

Friday nights in the NBA are where it's at! There's nothing better than being welcomed to the weekend by a big old 9-game slate. To recap last night's picks it was an overall loss mainly due to player props. The Hawks pulled off the upset to kick things off, but the Grizzlies weren't able to... 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

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (3/3/22)
After a solid 6-2 night yesterday, I was inspired to get back at it today and try to keep that momentum going. There was once a time when Thursdays were usually only 2-4 games in the NBA, but this season we've seen the league spread games out more across all days which has given us... Read More
Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (3/2/22)
Things didn't quite go my way on Monday as I missed both spread bets and my total, but I was saved by both player props cashing and we forge ahead to another slate tonight undaunted. MLB fans got some bad news yesterday (and MLB content creators like myself, too) but the good news is we... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 3/2/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

Fantasy Basketball Injury Updates for Week 19 - Ben Simmons, Darius Garland, Josh Giddey, OG Anunoby, Michael Porter Jr., Chris Paul
We're now entering fantasy playoffs time for NBA basketball, so you should be double-checking things regardless. There's no room for mistakes when you're up for a 'ship. I've lost matchups by a few steals or a few rebounds in the last few seasons, for example. That's the margin. No errors! Since the stakes are high,... Read More
NBA Waiver Wire Streamers for Fantasy Basketball Double Week 19 (Feb 28 - Mar 6)
The fantasy NBA playoffs are drawing near, and if you still haven't booked your spot, better make it fast! There's no room for sentiment at this point so if your bottom-of-the-bench guy is playing poorly or is playing for Portland (who has just two games this week) don't be too hesitant to drop. That game... Read More
Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 19: Bruce Brown, Onyeka Okongwu, Raul Neto, Corey Kispert, Grant Williams
