E'Twaun Moore (SG, CHI) - FanDuel Upside Play on 2/10/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ATL, $4,200 ANALYSIS: I'm pretty underwhelmed by the options at shooting guard tonight, especially the pricier options, and with that in mind I'm looking for cheaper options with solid minutes and opportunity. Mr. Moore fits that description this evening, and he's currently playing some of the best basketball of his career. He's exceeded […]

NBA Forwards: Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

Hello again! It's the final few days of NBA action before the All-Star Break. It's time to take a look at a group of forwards who are opening doors of opportunity to opportunistic Fantasy Basketball Managers. These three forwards, available in the majority of fantasy leagues, have really stood out in the last two weeks […]

NBA Guards: Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

This week's Waiver Wire Guards include two guys who everyone knows about already, but should be more universally owned. The other two targets are really deep sleepers who might have big time opportunities over the next couple of weeks to prove they belong on your fantasy team. Position Eligibility & Ownership Rate Based on Yahoo! […]

Avery Bradley (SG, BOS) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 2/7/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs SAC, $5,500 ANALYSIS: This Sacramento-Boston game looks juicy. It features two teams that play really fast, should have the highest projected point total of the game, and Marco Belinelli on defense! He owns a 112 DRating and if you attempt to quantify that on a scientific scale, that means that he couldn’t even […]

Victor Oladipo (SG, ORL) - FanDuel Upside Play on 2/7/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ATL, $6,500 ANALYSIS: Oladipo was on a fantastic run in two straight games last week before it all came crashing down against the Clippers. The shooting/point guard dropped a total of 94.5 FanDuel points in two straight games before drawing a lot of defense from Chris Paul on Friday night. Still, the guy […]

Danny Green (SG/SF, SA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 74% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Danny Green has largely been a three-and-d specialist for the San Antonio Spurs since earning playing time in 2011. However, he has shown flashes of being a legitimate scoring threat -- including his tremendous season last year. This season, he simply hasn't needed […]

P.J. Tucker (SG/SF, PHO) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: P.J. Tucker re-invented himself with the Phoenix Suns in 2012 at age 27, and has been a solid defensive specialist and bench scorer over the last four years. The Suns have been absolutely decimated by injuries this year, including losing forward T.J. […]

Wayne Ellington (SG, BKN) - Cheap FanDuel Play on 2/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at PHI, $3,900 ANALYSIS: Wayne Ellington is still too cheap as far as I'm concerned. I understand that he has not been all that impressive of recent, but he is still playing around 30 minutes per game for the Brooklyn Nets, and that is enough to warrant using him in tournaments. Ellington only need […]

Rodney Hood (SG, UTA) - DraftKings Matchup Play on 2/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at PHO, $5,900 ANALYSIS: Hood has been playing well recently, as he’s averaging 19.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game over the last 10 days. He gets a great matchup against the Suns, who love pushing the pace, but have struggled defensively this season. Hood is a great scorer, who can heat […]

Klay Thompson (SG, GSW) - Strong DraftKings Play on 2/6/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs OKC, $7,800 ANALYSIS: Thompson has posted some huge games recently, and it looks like he has really found his groove on offense. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 29.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game. While he doesn’t add many peripheral stats, both of these teams play at a fast […]

NBA Trade Deadline: Guards Who Are Better off Traded

Much like your fantasy league, the NBA is very much a "what have you done for me lately?" league. If you get hurt or don't perform, you will be quickly replaced. Sometimes, all it takes is a younger playing coming along and sweeping your legs out from underneath you. These four guards have lost sight […]

DeMar DeRozan (SG, TOR) - Strong FanDuel Play on 2/4/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at POR, $8,100 ANALYSIS: I'm sure you noticed my other guard selections were pretty cheap. Here's one of the first under-priced stars I think are in for a great night. Portland doesn't have much size on the perimeter, and doesn't play much defense overall out there. DeMar should have his way getting to the rim as […]

Devin Booker (SG, PHO) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 2/4/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs HOU, $5,400 ANALYSIS: If Tyreke Evans does sit, SG is going to look a little thin on FanDuel tonight. If you don't want to pony up for Harden (you'll see I'm not buying) then its gonna look even more thin. DeRozan, McCollum, and Louis Williams become your most expensive options. Right below that […]

Monta Ellis (SG, IND) - FanDuel Value Play on 2/3/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at BKN, $6,900 ANALYSIS: Ellis has nearly put up Westbrook-like fantasy point totals over the last week, twice eclipsing the 50 point total in hist last three games. Even with the increased production and salary bump, I really like his chances to far exceed his price implied point total tonight against the Nets' abysmal […]

NBA Forwards: Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

Hello again and welcome to a new week and finally a set of decently fresh faces. I know I have been ramming the likes of John Henson and Evan Turner down some throats in the past weeks, so this week I bring a diverse group of players who offer a diverse set of skills. Some […]

NBA Guards: Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

This week's waiver wire guards are a mixed bag, with a few different kinds of potential fantasy basketball stars. Both veterans and a rookie make an appearance because of how well they’ve been playing, yet are still being ignored in the majority of leagues. The fantasy season is beginning to wind down and now is […]

Jeff Green (SG/SF MEM) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED: 49% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues Jeff Green has been somewhat of a fantasy basketball enigma in his eight NBA seasons. Since he was famously the 5th overall pick back in 2007 and later traded from Boston to Seattle in the Ray Allen deal, fantasy owners have been […]

Dion Waiters (SG, OKC) - FanDuel Value Play on 2/1/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs WAS, $3,900 ANALYSIS: Dion Waiters is playing huge minutes for the Oklahoma City Thunder right now. Of course, Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant are stealing the show, but Waiters should be able to get enough shots off to hit value. As we know, Westbrook is the best guard option on the board, but […]

Klay Thompson (SG, GSW) - Strong FanDuel Play on 1/31/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at NY, $7,000 ANALYSIS: It appears Mr. Thompson is in the middle of one of his patented hot streaks. He has gone 11-for-22 from behind the arc over his last two games, and Thompson typically is a guy that plays in three to four game bursts. The Warriors are massive favorites, but the starters […]

Dwyane Wade (SG, MIA) - Reliable FanDuel Play on 1/31/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ATL, $7,800 ANALYSIS: Turn back the clock! Flash has indeed shown flashes of dominance that he displayed in the pre-LeBron years. The 34-year-old All Star is averaging 43.2 FanDuel points per game over his last four, playing no less than 32 minutes during that span. With the less than inspiring play being displayed […]

Toney Douglas (PG/SG, NO) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Former New York Knick Toney Douglas is being asked to step up for the Pelicans with Tyreke Evans ailing and Eric Gordon sidelined for a few weeks, and so far so good. On Monday Douglas scored 18 points while dishing six assists […]

Terrence Ross (SG/SF, TOR) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Terrence Ross is yet another player who is seeing his value increase because of the injury bug going around. He doesn't offer much in many counting stats, but Ross is scoring at a very serviceable piece in the second unit for the […]

Archie Goodwin (PG/SG, PHO) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: With Brandon Knight out for the next few games, it's Archie Goodwin's time to shine. Over his last three games, Goodwin has scored at least 20 points in each contest and has been a bright spot for the injury ravaged Suns. The […]

Kent Bazemore (SG, ATL) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/27/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs LAC, $5,200 ANALYSIS: Never Baze-less when the opportunity is ripe to Bazemore. Kent hasn't put up any gaudy stat lines recently, but he has been pretty consistent in terms of production, exceeding value in three of his last four outings. His price has dropped $700 over the past 10 days, and with the […]

NBA Guards: Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

The waiver wire is filled with under the radar play-making guards. Finding someone that averages more than five assists can be difficult at times if you don't already have an established star. The following potential waiver wire pickups all offer dynamic games that involve putting up solid assist numbers. Be sure to check out our […]

NBA Forwards: Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

Hello and welcome to another week of questions. Today I bring you answers to the most important question of them all: "Who is playing well NOW?" These three forwards of varying sizes bring heavy momentum to the forward slot and can be the spark that any stumped Fantasy Basketball Manager could greatly use. Position Eligibility […]

Tyler Johnson (SG, MIA) - Risk/Reward FanDuel Play on 1/25/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at CHI, $4,200 ANALYSIS: The Miami Heat are dealing with a ton of injuries right now. Hassan Whiteside has been banged up. Dwyane Wade has been questionable to play for a couple of games now. Goran Dragic, Beno Udrih, and a ton of other players are banged up. That has led to Tyler Johnson […]

Tyreke Evans (SG, NO) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 1/25/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs HOU, $7,100 ANALYSIS: Tyreke Evans did not look great in his last game, which was against the Milwaukee Bucks, as he only played 24 minutes and posted 21.4 fantasy points. However, in the game prior, against the Detroit Pistons, he posted over 40 fantasy points in only 31 minutes on the court. He […]

Louis Williams (SG, LAL) - FanDuel 50/50 Play on 1/23/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at POR, $5,800 ANALYSIS: Speaking of great upside, Lou Williams is playing against the Portland Trailblazers tonight. He has not broken the 30 fantasy points mark in four straight games, but prior to that, he had over 30 fantasy points in three straight games. In one of those games, against the Oklahoma City Thunder, […]

J.J. Redick (SG, LAC) - FanDuel Upside Play on 1/21/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at CLE, $5,600 ANALYSIS: J.J. Redick is straight up on fire. Against Houston two nights ago, he went 9-of-12 from three point range on his way to a career high 40 points. I'm going with the hot hand in another big game against Cleveland tonight. This game is going to be close and high […]
