DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (8/1/20): NBA DFS Lineups
After today, every team will have officially played one game and we will have a better understanding of rotations as each day goes on. So far, the rotations have made sense, outside of a few hiccups with the Pelicans and Mavericks. In both these games, Alvin Gentry and Rick Carlisle, respectively, didn't adapt to play […]

It's been too long. Hopefully this bubble turns into one of the few good ideas to come out of this quarantine and we can enjoy a few decent nights of basketball. Two game slates are never ideal since it guarantees repeated lineups, but it opens the door for low-priced sleepers to be the deciding factors. […]

I know my editors hate how late I am with my articles, so I will keep this intro brief. (I blame my puppy for trying to shut my laptop every time he hears me type but...) Once again, we are getting to the end of the season and fantasy basketball is at it's peak. By […]

Just a five game slate this Saturday, and already there is a clear emphasis on the importance of value tonight. With plenty of super-cheap options, if you don't ride the upside, someone will. Here's a perfect example for how tonight is going to play out. Gary Harris has been struggling this season, and although he […]

If you have been using RotoBaller’s Lineup Generator, you might have noticed the slight mishap that happens on night’s with small slates. With only four games being played, the generator is taking the best matchups, but we all know Jabari Parker isn’t even really playing for the Kings. Since his price caused the generated lineup […]

Initially, this intro was going to be another feature about the Miami Heat, but last night Shake Milton stole everyone's thunder and he is more than deserving of a few kind words. Milton was already mentioned in one of these articles a few weeks back, and finally this week, mainly due to injuries, he is […]

A seven-game slate means we have a bit more flexibility with lineup construction, but that also means our sleeper picks need to be spot-on. There are a ton of options tonight, and even though Ricky Rubio's price is a little steep, this seems like a trap game for value plays. Jevon Carter, and a few other […]

There are four games on Friday night's slate, and already it's looking like Alex Caruso is up for a low-price, high-ownership night. Despite Caruso becoming a fan favorite among more than just Laker fans, his nightly production is fairly weak. Since he isn't a consistent shooter and his scoring seems to rely on dunks and […]

This might come as a shock to some of you, but Jae Crowder has gone from fantasy irrelevance to, easily, a top standard league player. Over the past two weeks, however, he is posting first-round, top-12 production, despite being fairly new to the Heat. With this, many standard league players are selling high on Crowder […]

With seven total games this Saturday, there are only six on the main slate. Nearly every game today is lined up to be a competitive contest, with the Heat-Cavaliers as the only game looking like it will be a blowout, based simply on numbers. James Harden versus the Jazz has the ability to go both […]

All-Star break and our break from NBA DFS is finally over. With the return of basketball, we have a six-game slate with one major play sticking out due to some recent injury news. Since Kyrie Irving re-aggravated a shoulder injury, Spencer Dinwiddie for just $6,900 against any defense is a steal. Specifically against the 76ers […]

With just two-games on the last slate before the All-Star break, what better way to enjoy it than watching all four teams play at the same time. Although the points favor a Thunder - Pelicans stack tonight, RotoBaller's NBA Lineup Generator is heavily favoring the Clippers - Celtics game. To help clear up why, even […]

With only two days left before the All-Star Break, players will be looking to make the most of their last game before the return to regular season action on February 20th. To give you an idea of how the night will go, look to target the Kings defense and Luka Doncic, the Denver defense who should […]

This is going to be a very short week for standard fantasy leagues, but luckily every team is going to play at least once before the All-Star Break starts. If you are looking to make trades over this time, the earlier the better. The longer you wait, the more leverage you lose when it comes […]

Another slate of eight games, but only one is really popping out as one to watch for. To be completely honest, with some of the recent referee-ing situations we've had the past nights, it's getting a tad annoying watching it all go down unopposed. All that aside, with the Eastern Conference experiencing a minor shakeup […]

With the trade deadline ending within 12 hours, there is no more need to worry about what unfortunately happened tonight. As many saw coming, Andre Iguodala is being traded. While not many can say they knew it would be to the Heat, alongside Jae Crowder and a few other Grizzlies, Iguodala is nonetheless on his […]

As one of the top plays, Andre Drummond has been rolling in production and he faces one of the weakest frontcourts in the league Wednesday night. Normally, Drummond's ceiling is close to 20 points and 20 rebounds, but that number easily fluctuates depending on various factors. If he is playing a significant shot-blocker or high-volume […]

The Portland Trail Blazers have had an interesting season to say the least. Not only have they been carried by Damian Lillard for the past month or so, but if it weren't for players like C.J. McCollum, Carmelo Anthony, Rodney Hood, and a few others stepping up at just the right time, this explosion from […]

With Luka Doncic already listed as out for this game versus the Hawks, look for Kristaps Porzingis and Trae Young to run away with the production. The only problem with rostering Young tonight is that his price is just $100 above Damian Lillard, and over the past two weeks, there has been no one better […]

If it wasn't annoying enough trying to wade through these waters the past few weeks with James Harden poor play, tonight we have LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, and Harden all with huge price tags that are going to force us to invest most of our salary in hopes they have a massive outing. Can't blame […]

Just six games on tonight's slate with only two players going over the $10K mark. Historically, Nikola Jokic plays well against the Jazz and he keeps his unicorn-ish form even in the face of Rudy Gobert's defense. Unfortunately, the Nuggets struggle to win those games despite Jokic's usually impressive stat line, so if you want […]
Jake King-Finnen 5 years agoNBA DFS Prop Picks for Wednesday (1/29/19) - Monkey Knife Fight
Just six games on tonight's slate and James Harden is still listed as questionable after already missing his past two games. Monkey Knife Fight doesn't have props listed for this game, so outside of prop betting, Russell Westbrook is due for a high-ownership, high-usage game. Try to bet around this if you are looking to […]

This is hard to write so I'll do my best. There's a cloud looming over the entire NBA community, and I only wish the impact was that minimal. There's nothing that can be said to make it better and it seems like the more we talk about it, the sadder the whole situation becomes. Through […]

There are four games on tonight's slate, so if you are looking to spend up, you have two options. LeBron James versus the 76ers or Karl-Anthony Towns facing off against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Anthony Davis is an option as well, but at his price of $9,300, you don't have the luxury of fading or […]

At this point, we are basically rotating most of the same players in and out of lineups since we know what defenses to target on a nightly basis. Tonight is no different, and although there will be some familiar names holding down most of the winning lineups, we need variance to make sure we can […]

For the rest of January and most of February, the NBA is going to be in a weird state. Not only will there be the All-Star break in a few weeks, but the slates are going to be all over the place. In the past week, we had a Tuesday with just one game and […]

The turnaround Marcus Smart has made not only on the court, but in the fantasy atmosphere has been one of the absorbing narratives of the season. There are very few owners willing to trade him, seeing how they most likely drafted him in a later rounds, and this is the first time over the past […]

Today's Saturday slate has plenty of options and with nine games, we are going to have to get creative with some of our lineups. There are plenty of value plays and no shortage of high-tier players, but with how the games are structured, the Rockets - Lakers contest clearly holds the most weight tonight. Whether […]

With seven games on the slate, it's important to note the amount of injuries within the Bulls/76ers contest. The Bulls are missing key players and while that has made Zach LaVine a nightly target, finding the right value plays for them has a chance to push lineups to the next level. Similar to the Wizards/Raptors […]

Not many games on Thursday's slate and already there are a ton of injury tags hovering next to key players. With how the Boston Celtics are structured offensively, having both Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum listed as questionable, Kemba Walker has a very good chance of posting decent production for his price. That will make […]
