Welcome back, folks! I hope everyone had a great holiday break, and I wish the best for you all as you ring in the new year. We have some great slates coming up as we close out 2017, and this one is no exception. Thursday brings us five games, and while we're missing a couple […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (12/27/17): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

After limited (or nonexistent) slates Sunday and Monday we're getting two nice slates in the middle of the week. Wednesday features 10 games, with a lot of studs back in play, contrasting with the situation on Tuesday. My core players for this slate will be John Wall and Anthony Davis. Both of these teams are […]

My Fantasy NBA Team is Mediocre, How Do I Attack the Throne!?

The holiday season is upon us, and first off all, to all of you reading this I hope you had a Merry Christmas and a great Happy New Year! Now let's get down to business. My goal here is to help all of you do your best and go the furthest in your NBA Fantasy […]

Buy, Sell or Hold: Kevin Love and Jusuf Nurkic?

You own a player who is on fire at the moment? You're worried he's not going to keep it up? Why not use his hotness to swap him for another who you have more faith in? If it's too good to be true, it probably is. Especially in the case we have for you today, where […]

This year we'll take more of a holistic approach to streaming, by providing a weekly overview of which teams to look at based on their schedules and what players to consider targeting in advance to maximize the bang for the buck you get out of limited weekly transactions. Streaming is just about maximizing a roster […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/25/17): NBA DFS Advice

Merry Christmas, I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday. On one of the biggest days of the year in the association, we have five games to help us get through a day filled with noisy kids, grouchy old people and drunk uncles. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup […]

NBA Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Week 11 and Buy/Sell

On behalf of the RotoBaller staff, we wish everyone a Merry Christmas! Due to the holidays, I am away on a trip and this post will be more brief. If you haven't checked out our injury updates, make sure to give that a look. I also write a feature during the week on recent notable […]

Roster Doctor: Grand Theft Otto Looks To Steal Some Wins

Fantasy basketball strategy doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Some decisions are easy – if they offer you Nikola Jokic for your Nikola Mirotic, you take it and run, you don’t need anyone to tell you that. Most trade offers and waiver decisions are not that black and white however, and the answer is very context […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (12/21/17): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

There are only five games tonight which means I get to be brief. One great thing about tonight is the lack of high-priced options. LeBron James is taking on an easy matchup and the spread is heavily favoring the Cavaliers. With James' price at $12,300, rostering him puts a serious ceiling on the rest of […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (12/20/17): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

We've got a massive slate on Wednesday after a mini-slate on Tuesday that still had it's share of studs for such a small slate. That said, there's no LeBron, Anthony Davis, or Giannis tonight. Instead, James Harden is the lock in stud for tonight's slate, with Damian Lillard, and Myles Turner as my other major […]

Buy, Sell or Hold: LaMarcus Aldridge and Goran Dragic?

Another week in the NBA and, as always, some players are not meeting expectations while others are holding onto their value with their fingernails. Today we will be looking at one of the most talked-about guys this past preseason, who hasn't been able to carry that form over to the regular season yet. Will he […]

NBA Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Week 10 and Buy/Sell

We're heading into Week 10 in fantasy hoops, and we're just about halfway into the fantasy season. For most leagues, playoffs start on Week 21 on Mar. 5th and conclude on at the end of Week 24 starting on Mar. 26th. If you haven't checked out our injury updates, make sure to give that a […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/18/17): NBA DFS Advice

If you are out of your fantasy football playoffs, snap out of it and divert that energy from the heartbreak and focus on fantasy hoops. With 10 games on tap and plenty of injuries, things are looking real interesting on Monday night. If you haven't played fantasy hoops or are thinking about it, there isn't […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (12/18/17): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

We have a monstrous slate tonight. I, for one, am very happy about this. I'm always happy about DFS basketball, but this excitement may or may not be elevated thanks to the very disappointing day I had in football yesterday. Anyway, 10 games on deck tonight, with tip (and lock) at 7 pm EST and only […]

My Fantasy NBA Team is Struggling, What Should I Do!?

We are nearly at the 50-yard line of the fantasy NBA regular season and it's becoming more and more clear who did a good job drafting in the beginning of autumn and who hasn't had such luck. If you hit a rough stride and need some help scraping your team from the bottom of the fantasy […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/15/17)

There was a slightly small slate last night, but we have a massive slate tonight. With that being said, the forward options on this slate are far from elite. The guard position is significantly better, and that seems like the position to attack tonight. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/13/17)

We have a big nine game NBA slate to start off our weekend, and there are some very interesting options across the board. There are a number of injuries going around, so this should open up some value plays once we get the starting lineups. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/13/17)

After a fun Tuesday slate, we're back for another solid slate on Wednesday as there are nine games on the main slate. As usual, it will be important to follow injury news throughout the day, but unlike Tuesday's slate there is some clarity on plays well in advance of lock. There are plenty of revenge […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/11/17)

I hope everyone closed out the weekend with some cash remaining to play with, because FanDuel is rolling out some monstrous payouts for this six-game, Monday night slate of basketball. I was a little thrown off being that today is "just" six games - which is a little light for a Monday - but the […]

Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers for NBA Week 9

The NBA season keeps chugging along, though it feels like injuries are starting to take a toll across the league. John Wall. Anthony Davis. Nikola Jokic. But for every injury, there's (probably) someone who's benefiting, right? In New Orleans, for example, DeMarcus Cousins has been on fire, including a 40-point, 22-rebound game against Denver. Why […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/10/17)

There are only six games on Sunday so I'll be addressing the "all-day" slate. Today's theme is rebound games. Nearly all of the players I am advising are lined up for rebound games and most or high-risk plays. When you take a player who is not guaranteed to score, you tread into muddy territory that […]

Donovan Mitchell: The Ascent of the Don

After Gordon Hayward decided to sign with the Boston Celtics over the summer, a great deal of uncertainty loomed for the Utah Jazz and their future. Rudy Gobert is a menacing rim protector and tenacious rebounder, however he is far from being a polished offensive player. Who would they rely on when they need buckets […]

Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/8/17): NBA DFS Advice For FanDuel

If you're a big fan of offense, I ask that you temper your expectations tonight. Big fan of grind-it-out wins? Well, have I got something special for you on this Friday evening - an eight game slate of Association basketball with plenty of low Vegas numbers and pace projections. This is not to say it's going […]

NBA Three-Man Weave: The Yeoman

In the NBA's Super Team era, elite players with no superstar running mate do not get a free pass. In fact, these talented athletes are members of a unique squad. Not only do they have to shoulder the statistical load, but also press to keep their respective teams competitive. They are the Yeoman. These are their […]

Roster Doctor: JL8's Dual Elite Guards

Hello readers. My name is Kent and I am thrilled to introduce a new weekly feature to Rotoballer, a segment that we’re calling Roster Doctor. Fantasy basketball strategy doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Some decisions are easy – if they offer you Stephen Curry for your Evan Fournier, you take it and run, you don’t […]

Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers for NBA Week 8

Hey there! I'm Justin Carter. If you play fantasy football in addition to fantasy basketball, you may have seen me around this site this season, giving you advice on such things as which NFL players are going to be bad this week and which players you should add to your teams in deep leagues, but […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (12/2/17): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

With an eight game slate on Saturday, we have plenty of cheap options that have the opportunity to turn the December narratives in their favor. There are not many teams that will on the low scoring end like last night. Even the Grizzlies will be forced to an increased amount of shots against the Cavaliers. […]

Fantasy Basketball Week 7 Waiver Wire and Buy/Sell

On behalf of the RotoBaller staff, we wish everyone had a happy Thanksgiving holiday. We are approaching December, and fantasy hoops is in full swing. We have hit about one third of the fantasy basketball season and injuries continue to pile up across the league, as All-Stars Paul Millsap (wrist) and John Wall (knee) will […]

Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (11/25/17): NBA DFS Advice for FanDuel, DraftKings

There was no basketball on Thanksgiving so I did what any staunch NBA fan would do. Play Call Of Duty all day and eat fast food instead of a Thanksgiving feast. Now that every team got a small day of rest, we are on the second day of saturated NBA slates. With a 10 game […]
