Blowouts continue to ravage the NBA, as five of the Friday evening’s 10 games finished with a margin of 10 or more points. There seems to be a heap of similar potential on the Saturday slate as well, as only one game (Raptors vs. Pelicans) has a projected spread within seven points. That affects our […]

The last NBA slate of the 2020 calendar year is upon us, so it feels like an appropriate time to get back at 2020 by winning all of the money that we deserve after going through a year like this. To do so, PrizePicks has offered a wide array of NBA picks, starting as early […]

The NBA season marches on and while we typically have monster slates on Wednesdays, we’re presented with a tame six-game slate this time on PrizePicks. Speaking of “PrizePicks,” it is a creative new way to parlay picks based on expected fantasy point production. The format is simple. You pick two, three or four players and […]

We have six games on tap for Wednesday around the NBA and a rather straightforward DFS slate, as only one game carries a spread within four points and there isn’t a ton of injury news to dissect. With a couple of games under our belt for just about every team, the pace and defensive efficiency […]

We kick the week off with a five-game slate in the association, which sounds like a perfectly sized slate for five facts.

The Christmas day NBA slate has come and gone and as we approach the new year, the schedule starts to normalize a bit in terms of slate size. Saturday in particular has 10 total games on the docket, with nine on the main slate on DraftKings. To correlate with the main slate, the five stats […]

Christmas is behind us and the eggnog hangovers are here. What better way to cure it than with more NBA basketball? We have nine games on Saturday’s main slate with a handful of interesting situations — including the Rockets’ COVID-10 dilemma leaving them with roughly nine potentially active players. This is a situation to monitor […]

First and foremost, happy holidays! It’s been a difficult year for every single one of us in some form or fashion, so hopefully, the holiday season provides some light and hope in an otherwise difficult time. In addition to the holiday season, we have the NBA season. As is tradition, we have an exciting five-game […]

   

NBA basketball is back, ladies and gentlemen. While we’ve had an abbreviated offseason, it’s still been far too long without the best sport in the world, but now, we can put the wait to rest. If you haven’t checked out the other NBA content, make sure you do so, as we’ll have the daily game-by-games […]

Soak it in, […]

The last game of the Week 15 slate comes down to a divisional matchup that, frankly, will lack a lot of the excitement that these games typically carry thanks to injuries. With Joe Burrow on the shelf for the Bengals, Ryan Finley will do his best to stay on his feet against arguably the best […]

We have football on a Saturday this week, and no, I’m not talking about our normal college football slate. We have NFL football on a Saturday. The number of times this season we’ve been blessed with extra days of football is a silver lining that 2020 desperately needed. What else is desperately needed? How about […]

Just when we thought this time of year couldn’t get any better, with Christmas around the corner and the NBA season creeping up, we get hit with Saturday NFL action. Sign me up. The NFL has graced us with an extra day of football, as the Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos kick us off in […]

Thursday’s football action is upon us and once again thanks to favorable scheduling (from a fan’s perspective), we only have to wait two days instead of three for more football after this game, as we have a pair of Saturday games for Week 15 as well. As for Thursday’s game, we have the Chargers paying […]

It seems like the Baltimore Ravens have captured the spotlight of every primetime game over the last two weeks, as they’ve gone from Wednesday night football to Tuesday night football and finally now, to Monday night football. With the COVID-19 issues seemingly behind the team, their schedule gets back on track Monday against the Cleveland […]

The home stretch of the NFL regular season is upon us and games are becoming more and more crucial for teams with playoff implications on the line. There’s a handful of massive over/unders on the slate on Sunday, which should lead to a ton of fantasy production, specifically for PrizePicks. Speaking of “PrizePicks,” it is […]

Another week, another obscure day for the Baltimore Ravens to play football. As a ripple effect of the Ravens Wednesday game last week, we have Tuesday football in Dallas this week between the Cowboys and Ravens.
