Fantasy basketball tips and projections for Monday
Many fantasy leagues will be decided this week, adding to the gravity of Monday’s games. Two of the six games have spreads of at least 15 points — the Boston Celtics (-16.5) against the Charlotte Hornets and the Portland Trail Blazers visiting the Orlando Magic (-15.5).

On the pro side, the NBA has six matchups on the night. Three feature a postseason team against a lottery squad, and non-coincidentally all three have double-digit spreads.

Boston has lost consecutive games against the Atlanta Hawks since its nine-game winning streak. It will take a team effort for the Celtics to beat the Pelicans, who have won 10 of their past 13 games. Let’s take a look at my first recommendation, which comes from this game. Jayson Tatum over 5.5 assists. The […]

For instance, the New Orleans Pelicans won’t have Brandon Ingram in the lineup for today’s tilt with the Boston Celtics. This means more usage and fantasy upside for two-way wings Trey Murphy III (42.6%) and Herbert Jones (40.4%). Even the absence of backup point guard Jose Alvarado propels increased value for this 3-and-D duo, as […]

The first of Thursday’s tandem has the Boston Celtics at State Farm Arena to face the Atlanta Hawks. The top-seeded Celtics are massive road favorites (-16.5 at ESPN BET), even with Al Horford and Jrue Holiday listed as questionable.

CJ McCollum over 21.5 points. The Bucks have struggled to defend against perimeter shooters all season, which plays into McCollum’s favor. He has scored over 21.5 points in three consecutive games, averaging 21 field goal attempts per game. With Brandon Ingram ruled out, further boosting McCollum should have a big night against a Bucks team […]

Devin Booker over 5.5 assists. Wednesday’s matchup against the Nuggets serves as a significant test for Booker and the Suns.

Booker has surpassed this line in six of his past 10 games, averaging 11 potential assists per […]

Looking at the 76ers-Clippers matchup, we’ve got two of the better teams in both conferences struggling to find […]

The Celtics had won 20 of 22 and brought a nine-game winning streak into State Farm Arena — a run that certainly appeared in no jeopardy when Al Horford’s 3-pointer put Boston up 68-28 with just under 4 1/2 minutes left in the first half. But the Hawks, clinging to the final play-in spot in […]
