More or Less — Pick More/Less For Each Player | Prize: 3.6x
In this Monkey Knife Fight NBA fantasy contest, it is a simple more/less pick for two players. In this case, we’re picking points for both.
Stephen Curry: More than 37.5 points
Ja Morant: Less than 21.5 points
It is win or go home, and the stars will come to play. This is the type of matchup where Curry blows up. He scored 37 points last game and 46 the game prior, which was against Memphis. Curry has scored at least 36 points in three of his last four home games, including two performances of 46-plus. Meanwhile, Morant scored 20 points last game, 16 against the Warriors the game prior and over 21 just once in his last seven games. He will be running around trying to contain Curry, expending more than the usual amount of energy on defense.

Rapidfire — Draft Winner of Three Matchup Categories | Prize: 5x
In this Monkey Knife Fight game type, you are picking which of two players will score higher in a stat category. One player gets a handicap, much like the spread in a typical NBA game bet. If you pick all three matchups correctly, you win five times your entry fee.
Points: Stephen Curry vs. Ja Morant (+16.5)
Assists: Draymond Green vs. Kyle Anderson (+4.5)
3-Pointers Made: Jaren Jackson Jr. (+0.5) vs. Jordan Poole
As stated above, Curry has to have a big game to put the Warriors back into the playoffs. MKF has the projected total at 37.5, which I took the over for. I took the under for Morant.
Green has averaged 10.2 assists over his last five games, getting no fewer than eight in a game. Anderson has averaged 4.2, getting more than four just once. This feels like an easy pick.
Both Jackson and Poole have consistently hit 3-point shots. Jackson has averaged two made over his last five games, including exactly two in three straight games. Poole has put up more than two made 3’s in five of his last six games.
