Happy February, RotoBallers! We kick off the second day of the second month with six games and 12 teams to build our DFS lineups.

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/2/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

This is a rather large six game slate for a NBA Tuesday. The Blazers, Pistons, and Grizzlies are on the tail end of back-to-back sets, so watch for sitting stars. However, we should still have Andre Drummond back for the Pistons. That's okay. We still have plenty of other injuries to keep track of and […]

Major League Baseball plans to start on time in 2021, with spring training camps scheduled to open on Feb. 17 and Opening Day scheduled for April 1. The MLB Players Association rejected MLB's proposal to delay a 154-game regular season until April. The MLBPA was concerned with playing doubleheaders, accepting expanded playoffs and the expansion […]

Fantasy Basketball Deep League Adds: Week 7

The deeper a fantasy 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 help […]

Eric Paschall In Line For Short-Term Increased Workload

Golden State Warriors power forward/center Eric Paschall figures to see an increased workload while James Wiseman (wrist) is unavailable when factoring in head coach Steve Kerr's history of utilizing small-ball centers. After playing just eight minutes Saturday due to a back ailment, Paschall has been tagged as probable to play in Tuesday's game versus Boston. […]

Jahlil Okafor Will Miss Monday’s Contest

Detroit Pistons center Jahlil Okafor (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game versus Denver due to a knee ailment. Consistent minutes have been hard to come by for Okafor, who hasn't topped the eight-point, seven-rebound outing that he put together back on Opening Night. Having delivered an unappealing 117 dRTG through his first 12 […]

Three Devils Games Postponed As COVID-19 Hits New Jersey

The New Jersey Devils have postponed their next three games this week as 10 of the team's players are on the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list. Andreas Johnsson, Janne Kuokkanen, Michael McLeod, and Pavel Zacha were added to the list on Monday, and they join Mackenzie Blackwood, Connor Carrick, Aaron Dell, Kyle Palmieri, Sami Vatanen, and […]

Oklahoma City Sends Aleksej Pokusevski To G-League Bubble

Oklahoma City Thunder power forward/center Aleksej Pokusevski will be reassigned to the G-League bubble following Monday's game versus Houston. Pokusevski has consistently seen minutes off the bench for the Thunder, but he has struggled mightily from the field, shooting 24.7 percent overall, including 18.5 percent from deep. Pokusevksi was taken with the 17th overall pick […]

Jarrett Allen, Taurean Prince Join Starting Five Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen and small/power forward Taurean Prince have been elevated to the starting lineup for Monday's matchup against Minnesota. With Andre Drummond (back) and Larry Nance Jr. (wrist) out of the mix, both Allen and Prince should see a hefty increase in both minutes and usage. Allen has acclimated himself nicely upon […]

Naz Reid To Come Off The Bench Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (wrist) will come off the bench against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday. Reid missed the past two contests and was questionable Monday, but will be available to play. The only difference is Reid will not be returning to his regular role and Ed Davis will get the start for the […]

Steven Adams Will Not Play Against Kings

New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams (calf) was officially ruled out against the Sacramento Kings on Monday. This was expected, as Adams was trending in the wrong direction after being downgraded to doubtful just hours before tip-off. Jaxson Hayes and Zion Williamson should see an immediate boost in value. Other players like Josh Hart and […]

Nerlens Noel Available To Play Monday

New York Knicks forward/center Nerlens Noel (groin) is available Monday against the Chicago Bulls. Noel missed Sunday's game with a groin injury and was a game-time decision. After going through his pregame routine, Noel will be good to go on Monday. Whether or not Noel plays is a different story as head coach Tom Thibodeau […]

James Wiseman Diagnosed With Sprained Wrist

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (wrist) will be re-evaluated in seven to 10 days after being diagnosed with a sprained left wrist. Wiseman was just starting to get into a groove after moving to the bench, but he must have picked up the injury on Saturday against the Detroit Pistons. Kevon Looney should get […]

Anthony Davis Will Start Against Atlanta

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (quadriceps) is available heading into the matchup against Atlanta on Monday. Davis has been playing through the injury, so his presence against the Hawks isn't a huge surprise. The 27-year-old is averaging 19.6 points, 9.6 boards, and nearly three blocks against Atlanta throughout his career.

Steven Adams Downgraded To Doubtful Monday

New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams (calf) is now listed as doubtful to play Monday against the Sacramento Kings. Adams left Saturday's loss to the Houston Rockets with a calf strain and was originally questionable to play. The Pelicans will likely let Adams loosen up in warm-ups before making a final decision, but all signs […]

Larry Nance Jr. And Andre Drummond Ruled Out Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (wrist) and center Andre Drummond (back) are listed as out against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday. Nance has been dealing with a wrist injury which caused him to miss two games, but did play the past two games. Drummond, on the other hand, must have picked up the injury […]

Anthony Davis Still Dealing With Leg Injury

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (quadriceps) is questionable heading into Monday night's matchup against the Hawks. The veteran suffered the leg injury last week during the encounter against the 76ers and did not play against Detroit on Thursday as a result. If Davis doesn't suit up against Atlanta, expect Kyle Kuzma, who had 22 […]

Nerlens Noel Could Miss Another Game

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He didn't play on Sunday and was unable to practice on Monday. It sounds like Noel is likely going to miss at least one more game. Taj Gibson would see extended minutes, but isn't an ideal fantasy […]

Naz Reid Questionable On Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (wrist) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was unable to play on Sunday and very well could miss both games of this back-to-back set. His window for having fantasy value is quickly decreasing. Once Karl-Anthony Towns returns Reid won't have much value whatsoever.

MLB Proposes Slightly Shortened 2021 Season

The Major League Baseball Players Association is mulling over a proposal by MLB to delay the start of the 2021 season, and if the Union doesn't provide a counteroffer early next week, spring training is likely to start in mid-February as scheduled, according to sources. The league's proposal would push spring training back to late […]

Leon Draisaitl Dominates With Six Assists Sunday Night

Edmonton Oilers center Leon Draisaitl tallied six assists as the Oilers destroyed the Ottawa Senators 8-5. After Sunday's offensive explosion, the German-born forward is second in the league with 21 points, just behind phenom and teammate Connor McDavid, who has 22 points. Colorado Avalanche forward Nathan MacKinnon sits in third a ways back with 14 […]

Brayden Schenn Notches Two Goals On Sunday

St. Louis Blues second-line center Brayden Schenn scored two goals in a 4-1 victory over the struggling Anaheim Ducks Sunday night. The Saskatoon, Saskatchewan native netted his fifth and sixth goal of the season. Schenn is off to a solid start with six goals and four assists in just ten games. His first goal came […]

Andre Drummond Posts 25 And 22 In Loss

Cleveland Cavaliers center Andre Drummond scored 25 points on 9-for-18 shooting in Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. He also grabbed 22 rebounds and added four assists, a steal, and three blocks. While it looked like the acquisition of Jarrett Allen was going to impact Drummond's minutes and has to some extent, he's still the […]

Dylan Larkin Produces Fourth Goal Of The Season

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin scored his fourth goal of the season in Sunday's 3-2 defeat to Florida. Anthony Mantha was also on target in the Wings' sixth consecutive loss. It looks like it's going to be another long season for Detroit, but Larkin has built up some really good momentum early in the […]

Why did James Harden go to the Nets? - He heard that Brooklyn has some insane STREAM clubs! Poor jokes aside, Harden and the rest of the Nets will not have an easy time helping out their fantasy managers this week with just three games, all of which coming on busy days. If you want […]

Jamie Benn Returns With Two-Point Performance

Dallas Stars forward Jamie Benn (lower body) re-entered the lineup on Sunday and enjoyed a fine night against the Hurricanes, notching a goal and an assist in a 4-3 shootout loss. The Stars captain assisted Jamie Oleksiak on the team's opening goal and then scored in the third to make it 3-2, but they couldn't […]

Jordan Staal Extends Points Streak

Carolina Hurricanes center Jordan Staal pushed his point streak to three games on Sunday with a two-point effort against Dallas. He had a power-play goal and short-handed assist in the game, which the Hurricanes won 4-3 in overtime. Brock McGinn scored the shorty and Nino Niederreiter found his way on the scoresheet as well. Staal […]
