Monkey Knife Fight NBA Fantasy Picks | Round 1

It is important to note that, much like odds that 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.

Double Doubling — Goal: Over 2.5 | Prize: 2x

For this contest, we are picking three players in today’s games, with the goal being to select players to finish with a double-double. While we could pick one or two with a smaller payout, we are trying to pick three players to finish with a double-double to double our money.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is the obvious first pick. The Heat shoot so many jump shots that lead to easy rebounds. Giannis is also a lock to score at least 10 points. Nikola Jokic is another good candidate to get a double-double today. He missed by two rebounds in Game 2, but that seems more like a fluke than anything. If he stays out of foul trouble in this game, he’ll be able to be more aggressive fighting for boards.

Finally, we’ll pick Deandre Ayton to get another double-double. Ayton has put together a 20-point double-double in his first two career postseason appearances. He should continue to score with ease, and the more Anthony Davis wants to play away from the paint and shoot jump shots the better. It takes a rebounder out of the mix.

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. Guessing both correctly will win 3.6 times our entry amount.

Nikola Jokic: More than 32.5 Points

LeBron James: More than 8.5 Assists

Jokic will continue to score over this total today. He has averaged 23.5 shots over the first two games, and he’s getting to the free-throw line as well. As for LeBron, he has clearly needed to be the facilitator over the first two games. Whether his ankle is bothering him still or he lost a step, he doesn’t look like the LeBron of past postseasons. He will be a pass-first ball handler tonight, and he should go for at least nine assists for the fourth game in a row.

More or Less — Pick More/Less For Each Player | Prize: 5x

In this Monkey Knife Fight NBA fantasy contest, it is a simple more/less pick for three players. Pay attention to the categories, as it is a different stat for each player. Guessing both correctly will win five times our entry amount.

Damian Lillard: More than 33.5 Points

LeBron James: More than 8.5 Assists

Giannis Antetokounmpo: More 12.5 Rebounds

To start, this LeBron pick is the same as the MKF NBA fantasy contest above. Damian Lillard has shown the ability to turn it on at any point in the game. As soon as he crosses halfcourt, he can drain an off-balance 3. On top of that, he’s getting to the free-throw line, averaging 11 free-throw attempts over the first two games. Those nearly get him a third of the way there.

For Giannis, we talked about his rebounds above. The Heat don’t want to go in the paint with both Giannis and Brook Lopez there. So they are trying to get out quick and hit open jumpers. This leads to easy opportunities for Giannis to grab defensive rebounds. He has 18 in Game 1 and 13 in Game 2, playing only 31 minutes.

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. Let’s zoom through these MKF NBA fantasy picks.

Giannis Antetokounmpo: More than 57.5 Fantasy Points

Nikola Jokic: Less than 56.5 Fantasy Points

Damian Lillard: More than 48.5 Fantasy Points

Anthony Davis: More than 46.5 Fantasy Points

LeBron James: More than 46.5 Fantasy Points

Jimmy Butler: More than 45.5 Fantasy Points

Bam Adebayo: Less than 40.5 Fantasy Points

Devin Booker: Less than 39.5 Fantasy Points
