DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/26/18): NBA DFS Lineups

What's up, RotoBallers!? After a small Thursday slate, we're locked back into a huge Friday slate. There are double digit games tonight, featuring a few elite matchups to attack. Surprisingly, at this point, there are not too many salary relief options that jump off the pace. In this article, I will be providing you with […]

Ersan Ilyasova Scoreless in Loss

Atlanta Hawks center Ersan Ilyasova was held scoreless in a 15-point loss to the Toronto Raptors. Ilyasova missed all four of his attempts from the field, including one attempt from deep. He added a mere three rebounds, which is quite underwhelming for a big man. He had a negative-20 plus/minus, the worst on the team. […]

Dennis Schroder The Leading Scorer in Loss

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder led the team in scoring with 20 points. He shot an uninspiring 8-for-19 from the field and added eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and four turnovers in the loss to the Toronto Raptors. It was a pretty average night compared to his season averages, and two assists definitely […]

John Collins Big Off Bench

Atlanta Hawks power forward John Collins had a big game on Wednesday in the loss to the Raptors. Collins put up 15 points, 13 rebounds and four blocks in 26 minutes of action. Collins has had plenty of good and plenty of bad games this season, but you have to expect that from a rookie […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds for Week 15

The trade deadline is fast approaching and new names are popping up in trade rumors daily. There will be people dealt and fantasy teams shaken. If someone you own is traded, make sure you do your due diligence before making any rash decisions. While that seems like pretty basic advice, people panicking in fantasy sports […]

Buy, Sell, or Hold: Dwight Howard and Serge Ibaka?

The form of our fantasy players determines the outcome of our season. There's no doubt about that. But how to minimize the possibility of your players dropping in form and maximize the potential they show during the season? By wheeling and dealing of course! When a guy you own is riding a hot streak, and […]

Dennis Schroder Plays Mediocre

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder had a very uninspiring game in the win over the Jazz. Schroder scored 20 points on 18 shots while adding one rebound, two assists, two turnovers and no blocks or steals. This surely was not a great game for Schroder, but his team still got the win. His two […]

Malcolm Delaney Provides Spark Off Bench

Atlanta Hawks point guard Malcolm Delaney had a good night off the bench in the Hawks victory over the Jazz. Delaney totaled 24 minutes, a few over his season average, and really made the best of them. He added a cool seven points on two three-pointers, two field goals and a free throw. What was […]

Taurean Prince Has an Effective Night

Atlanta Hawks small forward Taurean Prince had quite an effective night in the Hawks win against the Jazz. Prince was 6-for-11 from the floor, including 2-for-4 from deep for 17 points. He hit all three of his free throws and grabbed one rebound, dished out three assists and snagged three steals. He led all starters […]

Dennis Schroder Solid in Loss

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder scored 18 points, shooting 7-for-17 from the field, including 2-for-5 from deep. Schroder added three rebounds, five assists and two steals in the blowout loss. He didn't finish the fourth quarter, as coach Mike Budenholzer decided to pull his starters as the hopes of winning dwindled. Looking forward to […]

Ersan Ilyasova Scores Nine in Loss to Bulls

Atlanta Hawks power forward Ersan Ilyasova scored nine points and had three rebounds and an assist in 23 minutes of action. Due to the fact they were down by 20 to the Bulls midway through the fourth quarter, head coach Mike Budenholzer sat his starters in favor of the bench. Ilyasova contributed to the blowout, […]

Dennis Schroder Should Get Plenty of Looks Saturday

Atlanta Hawk point guard Dennis Schroder gets a decent matchup Saturday against Chicago point guard Jerian Grant. After Kris Dunn ate the hardwood, backup point guard Grant will move into the starting lineup. Grant has not graded well defensively this season, and we expect Schroder to capitalize on this. The Bulls have been the third worst […]

NBA Heat Check: Surging Players in Week 14

Another day, another dollar. Or in this case—another week, another heat check. Statistical analysis has shown evidence that the so-called “hot-hand fallacy” isn’t a fallacy at all. But of course, we already knew that, right? On Tuesday night, Devin Booker scored the last 21 points for the Suns in the fourth quarter. And there’s also […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds for Week 14

The NBA has reached its midway point for the season, and soon teams will have to decide how they will proceed. Will rebuilding teams turn to their younger players and bench veteran starters to not only evaluate their talent but also improve their lottery odds? Will those same teams look to trade assets for more draft […]

Ersan Ilyasova Drops 20 Points Against Spurs

Atlanta Hawks power forward Ersan Ilyasova scored 20 points on Monday, going 9-for-15 from the field and draining a pair of three-pointers. The stretch four has put up decent numbers this season for the Hawks. He's shooting his highest percentage from downtown since the 2012-13 season and has kept his rebounding numbers steady. Against the […]

Dennis Schroder Scores 26 Points Against Spurs

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder led his team in scoring and assists on Monday as the Hawks beat the San Antonio Spurs 102-99.

It's a Florida New Year special here at RotoBaller as we are taking a look at two Miami Heat players with very different seasons so far. Hassan Whiteside has been back for half a dozen of games now, but he still hasn't shone as bright as he can. Will he be back to his old double-doubling, shot-blocking […]

Dennis Schroder Dumps 27 Points On Lakers

Atlanta Hawks guard Dennis Schroder played relatively well against the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday. Though he shot a subpar 10-for-23 from the field as well as 0-for-4 from deep, he was 7-for-8 from the free throw line and finished the night with 27 points. Schroder grabbed a few boards and had a some assists […]

Taurean Prince Breaks Ring Finger in Loss

Atlanta Hawks forward Taurean Prince (finger) had a night to forget on Sunday. Not only did his team suffer a blowout loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, he would also dislocate his right ring finger, which forced him to leave the game for a brief period as a result. He also didn't play well, shooting only […]
