FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/21/19): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
I hope everyone is enjoying the extended weekend. The association features a massive slate of games across the board in one of the best days of the year for hoops. FanDuel has the slate broken up so we will be focusing on the main slate of contests that begins at 3 pm. We have some […]
Taurean Prince Shoots Poorly Against Celtics
Atlanta Hawks forward Taurean Prince could not find his shot Saturday night against the Boston Celtics. Prince was an abysmal 3-for-14 from the field to finish with nine points, but was able to contribute elsewhere with seven rebounds, two steals and a block in 23 minutes. This was Prince's first game without a minutes restriction […]
John Collins Continues Great 2019 Start
Atlanta Hawks forward/center John Collins has been a fantasy gold mine since the beginning of the new year. In Saturday's loss to the Boston Celtics, Collins posted yet another double-double of 15 points on 5-for-7 shooting and 11 rebounds while adding three assists in 28 minutes. Collins is averaging 19.6 points, 10.2 boards, 2.1 assists […]
Kevin Huerter Scores 18 Against Tough Boston Defense
Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter continues to impress as Saturday marked his ninth-straight game with double digit scoring. Huerter finished with 18 points on 7-for-18 shooting, seven assists, four rebounds, four three-pointers and three steals in 34 minutes. It was speculated the return of Taurean Prince would reduce Huerter's value, but it appears to be […]
Dewayne Dedmon To Start Versus The Celtics
Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon (ankle) will start against the Celtics on Saturday. Dedmon missed the past two games, but with the Hawks off since Tuesday he had time to have his ankle heal. The 7-footer had been playing well before getting injured, which included turning in his best overall game against the 76ers on […]
Taurean Prince Has No Restrictions Versus Celtics
Atlanta Hawks small forward Taurean Prince will not have a minutes restriction against the Celtics on Saturday. Prince had seen limited minutes the last two games as he was working his way back after missing 18 consecutive games with an ankle injury. The 24-year-old has been effective in these two games tallying seven points in […]
John Collins is Questionable for Saturday
Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. Collins was dealing with ankle soreness, but is now reportedly fighting bronchitis-type symptoms. Omari Spellman is expected to draw the start if Collins is unable to play. Fantasy owners will have to check back for an update closer […]
Trae Young is Questionable for Saturday
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. Young is reportedly dealing with flu-like symptoms, but it's unclear if he'll be able to play through the issue. Jeremy Lin would likely start if Young is unable to play. Lin could be a cheap DFS option if he jumps […]
Buy, Sell, or Hold: Domantas Sabonis and DeMar DeRozan
It's trade o'clock fellow NBA fantasy nuts! And as you are used to by now, we have for you a surging player you would do well to sell while he is hot, and on the other end of the spectrum, a slumping guy who's value is currently a lot lower than should be. These fluctuations […]
Deandre Bembry Continues To Star In Starting Role
Atlanta Hawks shooting guard/small forward Deandre Bembry put together another excellent performance during Tuesday’s win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, finishing with 16 points on 7-for-9 shooting, adding eight rebounds, six assists and two steals across 34 minutes. The performance marks double-digit scoring outings in seven of his last eight contests, the last five of […]
Alex Len Collects Double-Double Off Bench
Atlanta Hawks center Alex Len did not re-enter the starting lineup with Dewayne Dedmon out against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday, but Len was able to post his sixth double-double of the year regardless. The big man outdrew starter Omari Spellman in minutes 31 to 22, collecting 24 points and 11 rebounds to go […]
Trae Young Delivers Second Straight Double-Double
Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young went for his second consecutive double-double during Tuesday’s victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, finishing with 24 points and 11 assists. Without the aid of backup Jeremy Lin, Young ran the show and delivered a double-digit assist total for the 13th time this year. In addition to helping lead […]
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/15/19): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
It's Tuesday, and even though it is probably the worst day of the week (in my opinion anyway), at least we have six games on tap. We have some substantial injuries to track as Derrick Rose, Darren Collison, Cory Joseph, Myles Turner, John Collins, Jeremy Lin, Dewayne Dedmon, Taurean Prince, Josh Richardson, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and […]
Jeremy Lin Downgraded to Doubtful for Tuesday
Atlanta Hawks guard Jeremy Lin (illness) has been downgraded to doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was probable due to a biceps issue, but is now dealing with flu-like symptoms that will likely sideline him for this contest. Kevin Huerter and Tyler Dorsey should see increased minutes if Lin sits out.
Taurean Prince is Probable for Tuesday
Atlanta Hawks forward Taurean Prince (illness) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He returned on Sunday after a lengthy stay on the sideline. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Hawks keep Prince's minutes monitored going forward. He's not going to be the best DFS option right now.
Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds for Week 14
We are just a little past half way into the fantasy week season, so it's critical to figure out how you can improve your team's success before it's too late. Looking into Week 14, there are a couple of must-add players that you shouldn't leave behind on your waiver wire. It's never too early to […]
Jeremy Lin is Expected to Play on Tuesday
Atlanta Hawks guard Jeremy Lin (biceps) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Lin has been dealing with a biceps issue lately, but he hasn't missed any games because of it. He should be fine, but he's only seeing minutes in the 20s, so he's difficult to trust in most […]
Taurean Prince is Questionable for Tuesday
Atlanta Hawks forward Taurean Prince (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Prince just returned from a lengthy stay on the sideline, but fantasy owners shouldn't be too concerned about this illness. It sounds like at worst he'll miss one game. Kevin Huerter and Deandre Bembry would see more […]
John Collins is Probable for Tuesday
Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (ankle) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Collins tweaked his ankle during Sunday's game, but was able to return and play through it. It sounds like Collins will be fine for Tuesday's contest, but fantasy owners should check back closer to game time for […]
Dewayne Dedmon is Doubtful for Tuesday
Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was unable to play in Sunday's game due to an ankle issue. Omari Spellman drew the start at center and played surprisingly well, so he's worth considering in DFS contests without Dedmon in the rotation.
Taurean Prince is Probable for Sunday
Atlanta Hawks forward Taurean Prince (ankle) has been upgraded to probable for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Prince hasn't played since December 3, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him on a minutes limit. Deandre Bembry, Jeremy Lin, and possibly Kevin Huerter could lose minutes from Prince's return. Prince should be added in […]
RotoBaller NBA Recap: The KAT Is Out Of The Bag
Welcome to the RotoBaller NBA Recap. In this feature, we highlight three fantasy basketball takeaways from last night's slate of NBA games. Saturday was a competitive day in the NBA with all eight contests decided by 10 points or less. The Minnesota Timberwolves squeaked by the New Orleans Pelicans 110-106. Karl-Anthony Towns led the way […]
Dewayne Dedmon is Questionable on Sunday
Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Dedmon looked like he suffered a left ankle injury during Friday's game. Alex Len would likely jump into the starting five if Dedmon is unable to play. Omari Spellman would see more playing time as well, but Len is the […]
Taurean Prince is Questionable for Sunday
Atlanta Hawks forward Taurean Prince (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Prince has been doing on-court work this week and is traveling with the team. Deandre Bembry and Jeremy Lin should lose some playing time once Prince is able to return. Prince is worth an add in most fantasy leagues since […]

There are only six games on the main slate today and it's already looking like value plays are going to need to pay off. If you aren't paying up for Russell Westbrook tonight, you have to play either Nikola Jokic, Anthony Davis or a mix of Donovan Mitchell, Zach LaVine, and Kemba Walker. All of […]

Dewayne Dedmon Flirts With Triple-Double In Victory
Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon posted 19 points to go along with eight rebounds, seven assists and a steal over 33 minutes in Friday's 123-121 victory against the Philadelphia 76ers. He hit 7-for-11 from the field, including 3-for-5 from behind the three-point line, as he enjoyed the evening with Sixers center Joel Embiid (ankle) sidelined […]
John Collins Hits Jumper To Sink Sixers in Philly
Atlanta Hawks power forward John Collins registered 25 points with nine rebounds, two assists and a steal while turning it over just once in Friday's 123-121 victory in Philadelphia. He ended up hitting 10-for-17 from the field, but his most important bucket came with 25 seconds left in the game when he bagged the game-winning […]
Kevin Huerter Drops In Five Threes In Road Victory
Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Kevin Huerter posted 29 points in Friday's 123-121 road victory against the Philadelphia 76ers. Huerter was a very efficient 11-for-18 from the field, including 5-for-8 from behind the three-point line, while going 2-for-2 from the free-throw stripe. He also added three rebounds, three assists, two steals and just two turnovers across […]
