DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/24/23): NBA DFS Lineups

It's a war of attrition in the NBA this time of year. Teams are missing players due to injury or are resting star players down the stretch. This is officially the "Silly Season" of the NBA schedule as in the final few weeks things always tend to get a little bit weird. Players you haven't […]

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Streamers: Week 22

We did it, we made it to the final week of the fantasy basketball playoffs. And the next couple of days are going to determine whether or not you take home your league championship. This will be my final streamers column of the season and I want to thank you for following along and reading […]

Sean Manaea (SP, SFG) - 2023 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 270 CURRENT ADP: ~290 overall ANALYSIS: All of Manaea's ERA indicators suggest that his 4.96 ERA was not entirely his fault. His xERA of 4.05 and xFIP of 3.96 are both in line with his 3.9 SIERA. Home runs were a big problem as he allowed 29 long balls last […]

Trevor Rogers (SP, MIA) - 2023 Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 230 CURRENT ADP: ~245 overall ANALYSIS: Rogers is definitely a guy who I think qualifies as a bounce-back candidate. He's just a year removed from a 2021 campaign where he finished with a 2.64 ERA across 25 starts for Miami. Was that season just a complete mirage? I don't think […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (3/22/23)

I didn't jinx the Cavs, who covered for us and the Thunder went out and did the damn thing, too, pulling out a close win to not only cover but win outright against the Clippers. The only snag came when the Kings got blown out on the second leg of a B2B by the mighty […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (3/21/23)

It's a fairly quiet Tuesday night in the NBA, but I couldn't resist the opportunity to pick some games today and see if I could continue the heater that I had going last week. Tomorrow and Friday are the big slates this week (10 games) so I'll be very interested in those nights for betting, […]

Using SIERA To Identify Underachiever Pitchers Who Could Improve for 2023 Fantasy Baseball

As someone who firmly believes that pitching wins championships, I am always on the lookout for pitchers who could outperform their ADP and turn in a big season. I'm a bit obsessed with pitching really, as pitchers are usually the first guys I click into my DFS lineups and strikeout props have been my favorite […]

Early-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers For Week 22

It's championship week! Most leagues around the country will wrap up this week, leaving the final week and a half (and the inevitable chaos that ensues) out of their playoff format. And if your league doesn't already do this, you should have a conversation about moving your playoffs back, honestly. Heck, I have seen a […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (3/18/23)

It's Saturday and March Madness is in full swing, but the NBA is where my loyalty lies! We get big upsets like the Purdue shocker in the Association all the time, it's not even a big deal, ha! I have been on fire this week picking sides but I had to yield to my buddy […]

DraftKings And FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/17/23): NBA DFS Lineups

The NCAA tournament has grabbed the attention of many sports fans this weekend, but the NBA is still going strong and if you want to watch basketball at the highest level, then you should tune into some NBA action tonight as we have eight games going in the Association. It's been quite some time since […]

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Streamers: Week 21

I don't know about you, but I am in a few nail-biter matchups this week and I am currently wringing my hands over the last few adds I make this week. There are three teams you can target for three games in the final four days (DEN, ORL, TOR) and two teams that have the […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (3/14/23)

Welcome back to Thunder Dan's Best Bets! Saturday's picks really pushed me up over that .500 mark in style as we swept the card with two ATS wins, a game total, our parlay, and our teaser all hit! It's time to keep things rolling as we have eight games on this Tuesday night and I'm […]

Early-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers For Week 21

If you're reading this, then congratulations! It's likely that you have advanced past the first and/or second week of your league's playoffs. Now, things get really tough as the competition gets stiffer and the schedule gets tighter, too. Games are spread almost exactly equally this week with 7-8 games every night with the exception of […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (3/11/23)

It's not often that I get to put out some Saturday NBA picks, but we have a nice big slate of games (10) and I'm feeling pretty good after a near sweep (4-1) yesterday with the Wizards' loss at home being my only miss. I'm only picking sides and totals in this article three days […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (3/10/23)

Continuing the theme of "fewer games than usual on a big NBA night," we have just six NBA contests tonight. Two of these games are rematches from Wednesday, making them feel a bit like traps (closely projected games where we could just take the same team that won Wednesday again tonight). It's a hairy slate […]

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Streamers: Week 20

Okay, so this week has been filled with even more carnage than I had expected. We are seeing players rested like crazy and the loss of star players to injury or rest is making it all the more difficult to navigate your way into the next round. You're simply going to have to buckle down […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (3/8/23)

It's a relatively small slate for a Wednesday night compared to what we are used to during the NBA season, but with seven games on the docket, there are enough options for us to take some shots on some wagers. After a solid finish to last week, I was able to pull my overall record […]

Early-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 20

It's time for the playoffs! Most leagues start the playoffs this week unless you are in a non-typical format. You simply can't get too attached to anyone this time of year. If you have a stud that is going to be out more than a week or someone who's badly underperforming- just cut bait and […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (3/3/23)

After a 4-1 day on Tuesday, I stepped aside on Wednesday and one of our newer NBA writers here at RotoBaller, Josh Wiesel, debuted with some solid picks of his own. Last night was a small slate, but I managed to cash my underdog teaser with Philly-Washington-Golden State and I should have bet on some […]

LaMelo Ball Post-Mortem: Fantasy Basketball Impact

On Tuesday, the Charlotte Hornets made it official when they shut down their star guard LaMelo Ball for the remainder of the 2022-2023 NBA season. Many fantasy managers' worst fears were realized when Ball's non-contact injury in Monday night's game against Detroit turned out to be a fractured ankle. Charlotte's season was already lost, but […]

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Streamers: Week 19

Week 19 is winding down and so is the fantasy basketball season as most leagues will start playoffs soon (or maybe you have even already started). Working the wire and streaming is even more important down the stretch and I can't emphasize that enough. If you want to win your league, you're going to need […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (2/28/23)

We took yesterday off as it was an unusually light Monday for games with only four but today we are primed for a large slate of NBA action as we have ten games on the final day of February. I will be avoiding the biggest spreads today and focusing on a few games with more […]

Early-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 19

It's one of the lighter weeks of the season here in Week 19 as only around half of the teams in the league play four games with the other half playing only two or three. We have only four games tonight and Thursday night with Tuesday (9) and Wednesday (10) being the days with the […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (2/24/23)

The Thunder lost in overtime last night, preventing me from getting a clean sweep on the first slate back from the break. They led for large stretches of that game and blew a lead late in the fourth before losing by just one point in the extra frame, too. These things happen, but I was […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/24/23): NBA DFS Lineups

The NBA returned last night after a full week off and there were no shortages of surprises as Damian Lillard was randomly rested and then Fred VanVleet was a last-minute scratch, too. I know a lot of folks are pretty disheartened by the NBA injury situation and all these guys resting, teams tanking, etc... But […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (2/23/23)

The NBA is back, baby! After an entire week off, we get our precious association back in action with a healthy 9-game slate on a Thursday night. I am keeping my card pretty light tonight, despite the temptation to jump back in with a bunch of players but I feel pretty confident about everything I […]

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Streamers: Week 18

It feels like forever ago that I wrote the companion piece to this one, the early week streamers for Week 18. A full week off from games is hopefully going to leave the players refreshed and gave us an opportunity, as managers, to re-evaluate our rosters as well. With the fantasy basketball playoffs being right […]

NBA DFS and Sports Betting Trends: All-Star Break Analysis

We are only one more day away from the return of basketball and if you're a total NBA nut like me, you're ready for it after a full week off. I didn't pay much attention to the All-Star weekend festivities but instead spent more time preparing for the final third of the regular season by […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (2/15/23)

It's the last big slate before the All-Star break with ten games on the docket. We are coming off a pretty solid 3-1 day on Monday with my only miss being a big miss on the Charlotte-Atlanta under and that might be the nail in the coffin of my game total picks as I have […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (2/13/23)

I might have a bit of a Super Bowl hangover (not alcohol-induced, but rather Philly losing-induced) from last night's game. But there's no way I was going to miss a chance to write up some NBA picks on one of the two remaining big slates before the All-Star break. Tonight we have 11 games on […]
