Tim Hardaway Jr (SG/SF, ATL) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% Yahoo! ANALYSIS: The Hawks are rebuilding, and the loss of Kyle Korver should open up more opportunities for Tim Hardaway Jr. to become fantasy relevant— even though Mike Dunleavy plays a similar role to that of Korver, he likely won’t play as many minutes. […]

Mike Muscala (PF/C, ATL) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Yahoo! ANALYSIS: The Hawks traded Jeff Teague this summer and have just completed a trade sending Kyle Korver to Cleveland, so it seems Atlanta is in rebuild mode. Its star player, Paul Millsap, can opt out of his contract at the end of this […]

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for FanDuel on 1/10/17. The DFS lineup picks will range from […]

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 […]

Daily Fantasy NBA Lineup Picks for FanDuel (1/7/17) - DFS Basketball Advice

Tonight is a very interesting slate, eight games with plenty of defense and very interesting contests that will be fun to watch. I can tell you right now, Russell Westbrook will have day...again. Anthony Davis and Al Horford will trade buckets, while Kemba Walker is going to stun San Antonio with Nic Batum by his […]

Buy, Sell or Hold: C.J. McCollum and Hassan Whiteside?

Fantasy trade market is full of ups and downs. A few good performances can increase a players market price beyond his true value and owners in an active league can use that to swap a player for another with a higher ceiling or who better fits their team. On the other hand, a slump can […]

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 […]

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

We get our first slate of 2017 tonight! Unfortunately, it's only five games. We still have some solid options in all types of leagues. Let's get the new year started the right way!

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/30/16): NBA DFS Advice

We return to the big slate for Friday night. There are nine games, which feature a few elite options to go along with quite a few mid-priced and value plays. It should be easy to construct any type of lineup you'd like on this slate because of the amount of available players. In this article, […]

Understanding the injury landscape, including who's out and who could benefit is a key skill in all forms of fantasy basketball. Here we will […]

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 […]

Buy, Sell or Hold: Jeff Teague and Otto Porter?

NBA players sometimes get smoking hot and then it seems they can't miss a shot. But then again, at other times they "stink up the place" and can't hit an open jumper. And even though an NBA team GM knows that his player's value is at an unreal high at that moment, or that a […]

NBA Injury Roundup for Week Nine

RotoBaller has assembled NBA injury updates for Week 9, and advice on various injury situations throughout the NBA to help you prepare both your seasonal and daily fantasy league (DFS) lineups. Understanding the injury landscape, including who's out and who could benefit is a key skill in all forms of fantasy basketball. Here we will […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/21/16): NBA DFS Advice

Eight games make up Wednesday night's slate. There are several big money options on the card, including a big man out of Sacramento that recently dropped over 80 fantasy points despite spitting his mouth guard at the opposing bench. Classy. Let's see who can join the nice list tonight. In this article, I will be providing you […]

NBA Waiver Wire (Week 9): H2H Defensive Category Streamers

This week's streamers will be a little different.  Since nearly all NBA teams play on Friday, you'll have no trouble filling your lineup with existing rostered players.  Meanwhile, there are no games on Christmas Eve Saturday.  That means 100% of the streaming value comes from who's playing in a good Christmas Day matchup.  So that's […]

Tim Hardaway Jr (SG/SF, ATL) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% Yahoo! ANALYSIS: The Atlanta Hawks have a deep rotation at the two and three positions with Kyle Korver, Kent Bazemore, Thabo Sefolosha, Tim Hardaway Jr. and even Malcolm Delaney all fighting for minutes. Hardaway is playing pretty well lately. In his lasts five games, he […]

NBA DFS Risers/Fallers for Week 9

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 […]

Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers for NBA Week 9

Throughout the season, players get hot and see an increased role while others struggle and fight to stay relevant. Experienced fantasy players know this happens every year. In this weekly column, we’ll showcase those who have taken important steps forward and those who have taken steps back. These are the risers and fallers heading into Week 9 […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Wings (SG/SF, SF, SF/PF) for Week 9

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), […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/19/16): NBA DFS Advice

We have a small five game slate for the NBA tonight to start off the week. There aren't a ton of options out there tonight, but some solid options and looks to be better cash options rather than GPP plays. But, I'll give you a spotlight of some players that are in good spots to […]

Daily Fantasy NBA Lineup Picks for FanDuel (12/17/16) - DFS Basketball Advice

Small slates mean fewer options. Today there are seven games total, six being on the main slate. With so few games, stacking will prove to be an effective strategy, so don't be afraid to plug multiple players from the same team into your lineup. There are plenty of options tonight and I predict an unhealthy […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/17/16): NBA DFS Advice

After a huge Friday slate, we have to settle for a smaller Saturday slate. There is one extra game if you're looking to play with the early game, but I would recommend avoiding that, as Russell Westbrook hasn't been playing well enough to use, but it's only a matter of time before he goes off […]

Fantasy Basketball Top 50 Player Rankings (Week 8)

Welcome back, RotoBallers. Below you will find our updated fantasy basketball rankings for Week 8 of the NBA season, looking at the rest-of-season fantasy values.

Buy, Sell or Hold: Rudy Gobert and Tobias Harris?

NBA players are full of surprises. Hot and cold streaks, injuries and playing time all have an impact on a players current fantasy value. If you are a good merchant, you could sell a player for more than he is worth based on just him getting more playing time and stringing together a couple of […]

Thabo Sefolosha (SG/SF, ATL) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% Yahoo! ANALYSIS: Thabo Sefolosha has been so great lately, especially when it comes to steals, that he probably deserves to be owned on a permanent basis in standard leagues. He's been racking up a Tony Allen-esque 2.0 steals per game on the season, alongside […]

NBA Waiver Wire (Week 8): 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 […]
