After an exciting opening weekend of the NBA Playoffs, things slow down on this Monday, as there are only two games on the schedule. This could deter some users from playing on lineup-based daily fantasy basketball sites due to not liking the small slate size. However, things do not change on Monkey Knife Fight due to their style of player prop picks contests.
There are props for users to pick fantasy points, actual points, rebounds and more. You will be competing only against yourself. Also, the payout increases with contests that require more picks. While there are far too many contests to include them all in this article, let’s go through some of the best NBA fantasy Monkey Knife Fight picks to make for the NBA Playoffs Round 1 games today.
Monkey Knife Fight NBA Fantasy Picks | Round 1
It is important to note that much like odds update throughout the day, contests at MKF are subject to change. So if you like these NBA picks below, it’s wise to jump on them quickly.
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. Pay attention to the categories, as it is a different stat for each player.
Nikola Jokic: More than 29.5 points
Giannis Antetokounmpo: More than 12.5 rebounds
The only chance Denver has to win today is if Jokic plays like an MVP. He put up 27 shots in Game 1 and converted on 14 of them, which isn’t bad. Expect a similar type of scoring performance, which would give him more than this total.
As for Giannis, he is going to rack up an incredible amount of rebounds in this series, as shown by the 18 boards in Game 1. The Heat want to get out in transition and put up as many 3-point shots as possible. It was the reason why they nearly stole the first game. Their strategy will not change in that regard, and it makes for easy rebounds for Giannis, whose length will get him another high total.
Glass Cleaner — Draft Players to Exceed Rebounds Goal | Prize: 1.8x
In this Monkey Knife Fight NBA fantasy contest, you are picking three players to combine for over 37.5 rebounds. Picking this correctly earns you 1.8 times your entry amount.
Giannis should get about 15 rebounds to start. Next is Jokic, who has at least 14 rebounds in three of his last four games. With the number of jump shots Portland takes, he should continue to total high rebound totals as well. Finally, with Jokic spending a lot of time outside the paint, Jusuf Nurkic should have plenty of defensive rebounds.
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. Pay attention to the categories, as it is a different stat for each player.
Damian Lillard: More than 29.5 points
Jimmy Butler: More than 7.5 assists
The playoff version of Lillard is a completely different animal. He will not be denied, and the hoop must look the size of a hula hoop to him as soon as he crosses halfcourt. He should go for over 30 points again in another competitive game.
Butler is the ultimate competitor. After being insulted prior to Game 1, the Heat lost the game, and much of the blame can and should be put on Butler’s performance. He should finished with at least eight assists in an improved game, especially efficiency-wise. He is possibly the best pick of the night to get a triple-double.
More or Less — Pick More/Less For Each Player | Prize: 125x
We have another More or Less contest, but picking this big contest correctly wins you 125 times your entry. It won’t be easy, as we need to pick eight players’ fantasy points correctly. However, it’s worth sprinkling a little bit on; the payout is too sweet not to. We will continue to include this contest until we hit one. It has been close, and tonight could be the night. Let’s zoom through these MKF NBA fantasy picks.
Nikola Jokic: More than 57.5 fantasy points
Giannis Antetokounmpo: Less than 55.5 fantasy points
Damian Lillard: More than 49.5 fantasy points
Jimmy Butler: More than 45.5 fantasy points
Michael Porter Jr.: More than 40.5 fantasy points
