Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 3: Bol Bol, Max Strus, Jaylen Nowell

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 […]

Welcome back to RotoBaller's weekly fantasy basketball waiver wire column and schedule breakdown. How's the start of this season treating your fantasy rosters? Do you already need some help?

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/30/22): NBA DFS Lineups

It's a fine Sunday and we have a solid seven-game slate on tap in the NBA tonight. The Timberwolves-Spurs matchup has the highest implied total and rates out the best in my model, but as you can see in the 'Team Rankings,' the Suns and Warriors both rank ahead of those two squads for daily […]

Aaron Gordon (PF, DEN) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 56% of leagues ANALYSIS: If there is anything defining the current era of NBA play that's Kawhi's favorite term: load management. Good for Aaron Gordon, he's had his health issues here and there but never a true concerning problems such as teammates Michael Porter Jr. and Jamaal Murray. […]

Santi Aldama (SF/PF, MEM) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 23% of leagues ANALYSIS: It was unsustainable to start with so it makes sense to see Santi Aldama slowly but surely dropping his nonsensical levels of production as the games have kept coming. That said, Aldama is still entrenched into Memphis' starting lineups manning the PF position […]

Jarred Vanderbilt (PF/C, UTA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 34% of leagues ANALYSIS: It is all jokes until it is not. Are these Jazz anything? 5-2 after more than a week of play and a 124-123 victory over the Grizzlies on Saturday? I mean, something has to eventually give for Utah to land Wemby, right? Right? For now, […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/28/22): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Friday, RotoBallers! The NBA season is finally here, and we have a whopping 11 games slotted for this evening.

My model will take time to adjust to these changes, but it's my […]

Fantasy Basketball Starting Lineup Changes - Week 1

Welcome to Rotation Watch, Rotoballers! Each week, this article will highlight the players gaining minutes in their team's rotation. Fantasy managers want to roster the players that accumulate stats and rack up the playing time. They want to avoid the players falling out of favor and watching the action from the sidelines. With the new […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/27/22): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! We have a little larger of a Thursday slate this week with four games going on. We have the Warriors, Mavs, Nets, and Clippers on the slate, so it's a star-studded one!

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/26/22): NBA DFS Lineups

We're set for a typically robust 10-game Wednesday night slate, one that gives us no shortage of appealing options across the salary cap. There are some key injuries sprinkled throughout the ledger as well, but with 20 teams in action, we still should have no trouble differentiating for tournaments and finding reliable options for cash […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/25/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Tuesday RotoBallers! Another solid slate in front of us, with the national TV double-header on TNT as a headliner.

Welcome back to RotoBaller's weekly fantasy basketball waiver wire column and schedule breakdown. How's the start of this season treating your fantasy rosters? Do you already need some help?

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 2: Jarred Vanderbilt, Dennis Smith, Lonnie Walker

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 […]

How Long Will Scottie Barnes Be Out? Who Should I Pickup Instead for Fantasy Basketball?

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes has gotten off to a decent start to the season, averaging 14.3 points on 51.4% shooting to go along with 4.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.3 steals per contest. But Barnes suffered an ankle injury on Saturday night against the Miami Heat and is now set to miss some time. […]

Terrence Ross (SG/SF, ORL) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: Three games, three starts, three nights of ass-whooping for the veteran Terrence Ross but not the Orlando Magic as a whole--cue the 0-3 record through Sunday. I like what I've seen coming from Disneyworld, but of course, the Magic are going to ultimately […]

Lonnie Walker IV (SG/SF, LAL) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Lakers are a mess but that's hardly news these days. I mean, it's been like this for two seasons running, so there is nothing surprising in finding the Lake Show not putting on much of one. Lonnie Walker IV got signed for […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (SG/SF, DEN) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of leagues ANALYSIS: One thing you didn't know: KCP has yet to turn 30 years old. One thing you might be more interested in knowing: KCP is one of only three players averaging at least 13 PPG, 4 RPG, and 3 APG in the early season while […]

Jarred Vanderbilt (PF, UTA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: Jarred Vanderbilt has started at both the PF and C position for the Jazz in the three games Utah has played through Sunday. It's funny because he's done a little bit of everything at different points/games but he has still to have an […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/24/22): NBA DFS Lineups

We begin the week with a solid eight-game slate Monday night that features an abundance of big names in action, including Kevin Durant, Jayson Tatum, and Ja Morant, to name but a few. Luckily, there are also plenty of viable mid-range and value options to fill out lineups with, and I'll attempt to provide examples […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/23/22): NBA DFS Lineups

It's been a really fun start to the NBA season and personally, I have really enjoyed having the NBA grind back as part of my daily routine. I finished third in a tournament last night and won some decent money behind Paul George's big night at only 11% ownership. My second-best lineup had Donovan Mitchell […]

De'Andre Hunter (SF, ATL) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 22% of leagues ANALYSIS: There are many big names in Atlanta these days, and they're doing great. Trae has put back-to-back 23-13 games with three boards as a baseline. Dejounte hasn't dropped from a 20-5-9-4 baseline. Even John Collins has gone for at least 23-8 twice with […]

Santi Aldama (SF/PF, MEM) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: There is this thing about basketball that is very different from, say, football: rookies and youngsters take much more time to develop and yield sizable results, but when they do, they do. Enter Santi Aldama, he of the Mighty Memphis Grizzlies. The Bear already […]

Bennedict Mathurin (SF, IND) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: Three games for the Pacers rookie so far this season, three increasingly better performances by the day for Bennedict Mathurin who seems to have hit the ground running in Indy. Mathurin has been hella steady through the first week of play and his […]

We made it to the weekend, RotoBallers! We're treated to a sizeable eight-game slate tonight and while none of the games truly stand out as "must-target" spots, we have three matchups that currently hold implied totals of at least 226.5 points - HOU/MIL, DET/IND, and OKC/DEN. Ten of the 16 teams in action tonight are […]

Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! The NBA season is finally here. Last night was a big night, but tonight only has a pair of games on tap. Don't worry, they're a couple of doozys. We have the Bucks in Philly and the battle of L.A. with the Clippers and the Lakers at Staples Center. With both FanDuel […]
