NBA Waiver Wire: Wings (SG/SF, SF, SF/PF) for Week 12

Surfing the waiver wire in a deep league is a tricky business. Luckily, if you have a player who didn't meet your expectations it's a low-risk high-reward business. Hitting a home run with a free agent can help your team contend more seriously for the Fantasy Championship. If you need help on the wing, we […]

NBA Waiver Wire Bigs (PF, C, PF/C) for Week 12

This year, RotoBaller is separating its waiver wire recommendations by position a little differently.  In our three position breakdowns, we'll be separating players into GUARDS, including point guards (PG), shooting guards (SG), and combo guards (PG/SG); WINGS, including small forwards (SF), swing men (SG/SF), and small ball fours (SF/PF); and BIGS, including power forwards (PF), […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Deeper League Pickups (Week 11)

If you're in a deep league, there is probably at least one player on your fantasy roster you can live without. A hot pickup from the wire or just a streamer for that weeks matchup can improve you chances of victory. But the deeper the league is, less talent is available. Here are my Week […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (1/9/17): NBA DFS Advice

We have an extremely small three game slate to kick off the week. With such a small slate, that means the options at each position are going to be limited and there will be some big price gaps between players. You still should be able to put together some nice lineups and have a shot […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (1/8/16): NBA DFS Advice

This is arguably the worst possible scenario DraftKings could come up with. There are eight games tonight, but they have been split into two four games slates. I have opted to use players from each slate, so you have enough options regardless of what slate you are looking to play tonight. In this article, I […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (1/7/16): NBA DFS Advice

Isaiah Thomas and Amir Johnson were recommended yesterday, and they both find themselves on the list again tonight. Who would have guessed that Johnson could have outscored Thomas last night? I wouldn't expect that again tonight, but you can read why I like them both again tonight below. In this article, I will be providing […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (1/6/16): NBA DFS Advice

The NBA seems to have taken away the big and small slates. They have now had between six and eight games for quite some time, and we get another eight game slate tonight. That leaves us with a few good options, but very few value plays at this point. In this article, I will be […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (1/5/16): NBA DFS Advice

Thursday night’s eight-game slate is headlined by Russell Westbrook vs. James Harden Pt. 3, but there is a ton of talent to go around elsewhere. C.J. McCollum has been tearing it up with Damian Lillard sidelined, but he has risen up to $9,000, so he is not as appealing as he had been just a […]

NBA Bench Risers: Waiver Wire Sleepers for Fantasy Basketball (Week 11)

NBA teams have a multitude of players coming off the bench, each with a unique role to fill. As a fantasy owner, you need to decide which of those players can contribute across multiple categories and have the potential to make the most of their time on the court. To find bench players that can contribute more than […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (1/4/17): NBA DFS Advice

A lot of big, relevant names are questionable to take the court Wednesday night. Damian Lillard, Kristaps Porzingis, Chris Paul, LeBron James, and Kevin Love are among those who have not been cleared to play yet. Hassan Whiteside and Blake Griffin will both miss more time. Who will step up in their respective absence? In […]

NBA Waiver Wire (Week 11): H2H Offensive Category Streamers

It's never too early to start streaming. Whether you have an opening due to an injury, you auction-drafted a crew of stars and scrubs, or you just didn't bother putting any effort into your last couple draft picks, you probably have a player or two on your team who isn't must-own. You're better off using […]

NBA DFS Risers/Fallers for Week 11

Player values are constantly moving targets in daily leagues. A high profile player can put together a couple of big games and see his price tag skyrocket. Likewise, a couple of bad games can lead a player's stock to plummet. The correlation isn't always immediate, leading to some discrepancies in value. Savvy DFS players can […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Deeper League Pickups (Week 10)

Further into the season, harder it is to find decent help from the waiver wire in deeper leagues. Most of the pleasant surprises have already been rostered and most options that are left are either inconsistent, contribute in only a few categories while hurting in some others or just have short term value. We will take […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/29/16): NBA DFS Advice

Six games make up Thursday night's slate. Mr. Triple-Double faces off against one of the best defensive teams in the NBA. But, can anyone or anything actually stop him? Another matchup also intrigues me as two of the worst teams in the Western Conference square off. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 51% Yahoo! ANALYSIS: Jon Leuer started the season as a backup in the Detroit Pistons’ rotation.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 46% Yahoo! ANALYSIS: Brandon Ingram is full of potential, and the second overall pick in this year's draft is in a pretty nice spot with a Lakers team that has a nice mix of talent and experience. He hasn't been great so far this season, […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/28/16): NBA DFS Advice

10 games make up Wednesday night's slate. I'm really interested in stack number two of the 10. The Atlanta Hawks hosting the New York Knicks has a ton of appeal as the two teams battled it out in an earlier meeting this season that led to a ton of solid stat lines for several daily […]

NBA Waiver Wire (Week 10): H2H Offensive Category Streamers
