It's a busier-than-usual Thursday this week as we get a surprising 7 games on the schedule and then a pretty balanced finish to the week with 8 games tomorrow, 9 games on Saturday, and 6 games on Sunday. Most leagues limit how many players you can stream each week in daily leagues. If your league […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/2/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We have our busiest Thursday of the season so far with seven games going on. Memphis and Golden State are on the tail end of back-to-back sets. I don't really see Memphis sitting players because of the injuries they have anyway, but keep a close eye on Curry, Klay, and Draymond tonight. Don't be surprised […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/1/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a typically robust nine-game slate on tap Wednesday night, one that doesn't feature any double-digit spreads but does have six games with projected totals over 230 points, including a pair of at least 240, as of late Tuesday night. We have players all across the salary cap in favorable matchups as well, particularly […]

Ben Simmons Will Remain Out Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (knee) will miss Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Simmons will sit out for the third straight game as he recovers from some soreness in his left knee. The Nets don't play again until Saturday so Simmons should have some added rest.

T.J. Warren To Miss Monday's Game

Brooklyn Nets forward T.J. Warren (shin) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He'll join fellow forward Ben Simmons (knee) on the sideline for the second straight game. The Nets will likely use a committee approach to help fill the void left by their two injured forwards. That being said, […]

Ben Simmons To Miss Monday's Contest

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This will be the second game in a row that Simmons has missed due to left knee soreness. His absence will mean that Seth Curry will remain in the starting five. He finished with 14 points and […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 16: Walker Kessler, Chris Duarte, Seth Curry

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/30/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a solid eight-game slate on tap Monday night, one that features a majority of games with narrow spreads. We also have some intriguing matchups on tap in Lakers-Nets, Kings-Timberwolves, Warriors-Thunder, and Hawks-Trail Blazers, although some key absences in that first contest will reduce the star power considerably. Projected totals also offer some reason […]

Seth Curry (SG, BKN) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 16

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Brooklyn Nets keep winning games even with Kevin Durant still healing his injury.

What's up, RotoBallers! We're creeping up on All-Star Weekend festivities and a nice little break in the action.

Each week, I'll take […]

T.J. Warren Out Saturday

Brooklyn Nets forward T.J. Warren (shin) will miss Saturday's contest against the Knicks. He exited early in Thursday's clash with Detroit and has been diagnosed with a left shin contusion. The 29-year-old has averaged 9.3 points and 2.9 rebounds in 19.0 minutes off the Brooklyn bench this season. Yuta Watanabe should get a bigger role […]

Ben Simmons Set To Miss Saturday's Game

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (knee) will miss Saturday's clash with the Knicks. He hurt his left knee on Thursday against Detroit and hasn't been able to recover in time for Saturday's game.

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/28/23): NBA DFS Lineups

Saturday slates are typically smaller, ranging from four to six games on the main slate on most occasions. However, we're treated to a nine-game main slate tonight on both sites, tipping off at 6:00 CT with the Rockets-Pistons and Bulls-Magic matchups. As you can see by my model below, every game on the board is […]

Ben Simmons Questionable Against The Knicks

Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons (knee) is questionable ahead of Saturday's meeting with the New York Knicks. Simmons exited Thursday's loss to the Pistons because of left knee soreness and didn't return. Considering he's already dealt with the issue this season, it's more likely that he won't be out there for this one. Nonetheless, with […]

Kyrie Irving Drops 40 Points In Losing Effort

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving continued his scoring heroics while Kevin Durant (knee) remains sidelined. During their loss to the Detroit Pistons on Thursday, Irving registered 40 points, five rebounds, six assists, two steals, and two blocks on 14-for-27 shooting from the floor and 6-for-12 from beyond the arc. With the absence of their number […]

Ben Simmons Exits Early On Thursday

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (knee) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He only lasted 20 minutes before leaving the game due to left knee soreness. Simmons was held scoreless with one rebound and seven assists during Thursday's game. The Nets will likely use a committee approach to fill […]

Seth Curry To Sit Out On Thursday

Brooklyn Nets guard Seth Curry (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The veteran sharpshooter knocked down seven shots from beyond the arc for a 32-point performance on Wednesday. However, Curry will sit out the second leg of the back-to-back after his strong performance. The Nets will likely use a […]

Real or Fake? Fantasy Basketball Players Whose Stats Will Be Better In 2023

With the NBA season nearing its halfway point, we have a pretty healthy sample size when it comes to player stats. Rather than relying solely on offseason speculation, gut feelings, and hot takes, we now have hard data to form our opinions on. This article is a companion piece to one written by my colleague […]

Seth Curry Listed As Questionable Thursday

Brooklyn Nets guard Seth Curry (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against Detroit. He went off for a season-high 32 points Wednesday against the Sixers but has a sore right knee and might elect to rest it on Thursday. The veteran sniper has regularly sat out the second leg of a back-to-back throughout the campaign, […]

Seth Curry Goes Off For 32 Points In Losing Effort

Brooklyn Nets guard Seth Curry had a field day playing against his former team in Philadelphia. The 32-year-old was very familiar with the arena as he enjoyed his best scoring night of the season so far. He poured in 32 points on 11-for-20 shooting from the floor and 7-for-10 from beyond the arc while adding […]

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Streamers: Week 15

It's an unconventional finish to the week in Week 15 of the NBA schedule. It's nice having 6 games tonight on a Thursday, but then we have a very odd flip tomorrow with only five games on a Friday and then 11 on Saturday. Sunday then wraps up the week with only four games. Most […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/26/23): NBA DFS Lineups

Since the NFL has stepped out of the way, the NBA is starting to spread the games out a little more. We have six games on our schedule tonight with Houston, Brooklyn, and the Spurs playing the second night of back-to-backs. Watch out for sitting Nets with a Spur or two doing the same. With […]

Not only do the spreads portend a competitive night -- all but […]

Kevin Durant To Start Running And On-Court Activities This Week

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (knee) will be returning to on-court activities and running this week as he progresses in his recovery from an MCL sprain. The team will re-evaluate him in two weeks according to Adrian Wojnarowski. This means he's on track to be back right around the All-Star break which is what he […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/22/23): NBA DFS Lineups

There are four games on the DraftKings main slate tonight, but FanDuel did its own thing (what's new) and has included the earlier Knicks-Raptors game in their main slate schedule. That game should be competitive, but its 222-point implied total is the lowest on the slate by a wide margin, and I'm not loving targeting […]
