Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 4

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]

Toronto Raptors center Christian Koloko received the starting nod since Pascal Siakam is out with an injury.

Bol Bol (PF, ORL) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: It was all jokes about Bol Bol until it was not anymore. Or shouldn't be, as we're witnessing this man grow (well, maybe not literally because that'd make no sense...) into more than a huge hooping Slenderman. And the best thing of […]

Isaiah Hartenstein (C, NYK) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: The New York Knicks, as is customary in Manhattan, live in perennial mediocrity. They started the season with a 3-1 record, then put up a 1-3 run, and they are coming off a sound loss to Boston last Saturday in which the […]

Kelly Olynyk (C, UTA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: What if we were all wrong and the Utah Jazz made the Mitchell trade on purpose to bolster the roster on all fronts and make a play-in/postseason run? Uh!? I don't know about that, but I know one little thing: Kelly Olynyk […]

Nicolas Claxton (C, BKN) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 57% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Nets might be in the middle of a very serious discombabulation, but at least they know they can count of 1) Kevin Durant putting on nightly shows and 2) a steady big man in young Nicolas Claxton. That's correct. Claxton is, […]

Isaiah Stewart (C, DET) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: To some extent, you can kind of understand the concerns. We're talking about Detroit basketball. We're talking about a 6-8 man playing center nightly. We're talking about a super young 21-year-old player. That's all good. What is absolutely unreasonable and drives me mad […]

Anthony Davis Questionable Against The Cavs On Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (back) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the visiting Cavaliers. The 29-year-old continues to deal with low back tightness. However, although it's been bothering him for most of the year, he's still averaging 23.0 points, 11. Rebounds, 2.3 blocks, and 1.9 steals in 35 minutes per game. If Davis […]

White has been dealing with an unspecified injury of his own, but he is able to return to action after missing just one game. The former Senators […]

Al Horford Dealing With Back Stiffness

Boston Celtics center Al Horford (back) won't play against the Knicks. The veteran logged 33 minutes on Friday night versus the Bulls, so it's likely he's just getting the night off to rest. As a result, Noah Vonleh could move into the starting lineup. However, he's averaged only 3.2 rebounds and 2.3 points this season, […]

David Krejci Will Return To Lineup Against Maple Leafs

Boston Bruins center David Krejci (upper body) will return to the lineup in Saturday's game against the Maple Leafs.

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (11/5/22): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a tidy seven-gamer on Saturday following a massive 12-game slate last night. The Spurs-Nuggets affair leads my K-Grade model and holds the highest implied total on the slate, so that will be a matchup we'll want to get exposure to. However, there's some blowout risk in that one and there are other spots […]

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson left Friday's 106-104 win over the Sixers in the second quarter with a sore right knee.

Deandre Ayton Will Return On Friday Night

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) will return for Friday's matchup versus the short-handed Trail Blazers.

However, fantasy managers should […]
