Kyrie Irving Drops Game-High 42 Points In Victory
Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving had his entire offensive arsenal working during Tuesday's win over Houston, as he finished with 42 points on 13-for-24 shooting, including going 8-for-16 from behind the arc. The scoring output marked his highest for a regular-season game at Barclays Center since Jan. 31, 2020. In addition to the scoring, […]
Goran Dragic Remains In COVID Health And Safety Protocols
Brooklyn Nets guard Goran Dragic remains out on Tuesday against Houston. This will be the veteran's second consecutive absence as he continues to adhere to COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Fortunately for the Nets, Bruce Brown (illness) will return after missing Saturday's matchup versus Atlanta, so he'll pick up some of the slack. Patty Mills, […]
Bruce Brown Available Against Houston
Brooklyn Nets guard Bruce Brown (illness) is available for Tuesday's matchup versus the Houston Rockets. Fortunately, Brown didn't have COVID-19, but he still wasn't feeling well enough to play during the loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday. With Brooklyn looking to gain ground in the Eastern Conference heading toward the postseason, he'll certainly be […]
Seth Curry Won't Play Against Rockets
Brooklyn Nets guard Seth Curry (ankle) has been downgraded to out for Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Head coach Steve Nash mentioned there is a chance that Curry sits out the rest of the regular season. The Nets don't want to take too many chances with the playoffs right around the corner. Fantasy managers […]
DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/5/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
Happy Tuesday, Rotoballers! After an NBA-less Monday (how about that Kansas comeback?!), we return to the pros with 12 games. Fortunately, almost every contest has something to play for, whether it be playoff qualification, seeding, or downright tanking. As DFS managers, it helps us guesstimate a more reliable starting five and what kind of rotations […]
Fantasy Basketball Injury Updates for Week 24 - Seth Curry, Ben Simmons, LeBron James
Welcome back RotoBallers, it's the last week of the NBA season. Let's see where injuries have created value this week! I'm doing this midday on Monday for release Tuesday morning, so any news that drops on Monday night won't be covered. I'll just cover what has changed since last week. These players are listed in […]
Bruce Brown Returns To Practice
Brooklyn Nets forward Bruce Brown (illness) was back at practice on Monday. That being said, it sounds like Brown will play in Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. He was forced to sit out their previous contest due to a non-COVID related illness. Kessler Edwards is expected to head back to the bench with Brown […]
Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 24: Damian Jones, Dwight Powell, De'Anthony Melton, Killian Hayes
Your season should have ended by now, but if you're in one of those leagues that goes to the bitter end, here we go! I'll try my best to make sense of all the madness that is the NBA in its final month. Let's see how our top picks last week fared: Terry Taylor (FG%, […]
DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/3/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
We have a large, wild nine-game slate on tap tonight, which is a nice little change-up from the typically small schedule on Sundays. Three of the matchups - Wolves-Rockets, Blazers-Spurs, and Pistons-Pacers - stand out from the pack as the top game environments to target for daily fantasy contests. The Wolves-Rockets affair, in particular, grades […]
DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/2/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
There are just three games on the main slate tonight, and the matchups are clearly separated by two tiers in terms of their fantasy appeal. The Nets-Hawks showdown currently sports an eye-popping 242-point implied total, and it also features the fastest projected pace and most combined fantasy points per game allowed. It's going to be […]
Bruce Brown, Goran Dragic Will Miss Saturday’s Contest
Brooklyn Nets small forward Bruce Brown (illness) and point guard Goran Dragic have been ruled out for Saturday's game against Atlanta. Brown enjoyed a breakout month of March, in which he scored in double figures in 13 of 15 contests. Dragic has shifted to a bench role with Kyrie Irving being cleared in a full-time capacity, […]
Nicolas Claxton (PF/C, BRK): Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Nets can finally rest assured they'll make the play-in portion of the season. Not quite what you expected when the season got rolling back in October, but at least more than what the Lakers would have accomplished a week from now. […]
DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/31/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
We have the usual modestly-sized slate on tap Thursday night, as there are just five games on the ledger. However, as is typical this time of season, there's some sort of postseason implication attached to each, and a case could be made for each game having a reasonable opportunity of remaining close. The player pool […]
Kevin Durant Drops Game-High 41 Points In Victory
Brooklyn Nets power forward Kevin Durant was up to his MVP level of production during Tuesday's win over the Pistons, as he dropped 41 points on just 14-for-23 shooting. Durant finished with at least four triples made for the sixth time this year, as he added 11 rebounds, giving him 13 double-doubles on the season. […]
DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/29/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
Happy Tuesday, Rotoballers! Most teams have eight or fewer games remaining on their 2022 regular-season schedule, and the tankathon seems well and truly on for the bottom of the standings teams. Meanwhile, there's still a ton to play for in the top four of the Eastern Conference and seeds four through six in the West. […]
DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/28/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
As the NBA begins the penultimate week of its regular season in earnest Monday night, we have a robust nine-game slate on tap that's once again replete with postseason implications. Crunch time the likes of which many contending teams are in the midst of right now typically demand high workloads from star players, which naturally […]
NBA Waiver Wire Streamers for Fantasy Basketball Week 23 (Mar 28 - Apr 3)
We're in the endgame now! No player is off-limits to be dropped (apart from those on the "can't drop list" if you play with that option turned on) for streaming purposes if you think he won't contribute enough to be worthy of that precious roster spot on your championship-caliber team! As always, I have taken […]
Seth Curry Might Sit Versus Hornets
Brooklyn Nets guard Seth Curry (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. This is a shame because Curry has been knocking down everything from beyond the arc lately. He is a must-start, assuming he can play on Sunday. Otherwise, Goran Dragic and Patty Mills would see increased roles, but neither […]
LaMarcus Aldridge Should Return On Sunday
Brooklyn Nets center LaMarcus Aldridge (hip) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. It appears the veteran big man will make his return to the court here. However, Andre Drummond has been playing well as a starter, so the team will likely keep him there. Although, Nicolas […]

There are six games on the schedule on the NBA main slate tonight, with a tantalizing, warp speed paced Knicks-Pistons showdown serving as the lone matinee offering in the league. As evidenced by my rankings model below, the Hornets-Nets game projects as the top matchup to target for DFS contests tonight. The game figures to […]
Andre Drummond Records Double-Double In Just 18 Minutes
Brooklyn Nets center Andre Drummond is a perpetual double-double threat on a nightly basis, with Saturday's victory over the Heat driving that point home. Drummond collected 13 points and 11 rebounds, in addition to two steals, despite logging just 18 minutes. Drummond has played between 16-24 minutes in 13 of his last 16 outings, but […]

The NBA regular season has exactly two weeks left and while some teams are packing it in and shutting down players, other teams are still battling it out and vying for playoff seeding.

Ben Simmons Making Progress
Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (back) seems to be heading in the right direction regarding his herniated disk rehab. The former Sixer received an epidural earlier in the week, and fortunately, he is no longer experiencing pain in his leg. While this is undoubtedly positive news, his impending Nets debut is far from guaranteed at […]
Seth Curry, Goran Dragic Active For Saturday
Brooklyn Nets guards Seth Curry (ankle) and Goran Dragic (knee) will be active for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. Both players will make their return to the court after a one-game absence. Dragic won't be on the fantasy radar with Curry, Patty Mills, and Kyrie Irving healthy. However, Curry should remain valuable and slide […]
DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/26/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
There are seven games on tap for the main slate tonight, which is a pretty hefty schedule compared to our normal weekend slates. The Bucks will be taking on the Grizzlies in the best fantasy game environment on the slate, one that features the fastest projected pace and the highest implied total of the night. […]
Goran Dragic, Seth Curry Probable For Saturday
Brooklyn Nets guards Goran Dragic (knee) and Seth Curry (ankle) are probable for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat, according to head coach Steve Nash. This might be the closest we see the Nets to fully healthy this season. Honestly, it's anyone's guess when Ben Simmons (back) is going to suit up. Dragic should have […]

Kyrie Irving To Make Home Debut On Sunday
Following a change to vaccine policies in New York City, Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving will be eligible to play in home games going forward. He will make his 2021-22 home debut on Sunday when the team hosts the Charlotte Hornets. This is great news for the Nets and for Irving's fantasy managers The […]
Seth Curry Won't Suit Up On Wednesday
Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Seth Curry (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday night's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Curry suffered a left ankle sprain on Monday against the Utah Jazz. He was forced to exit the game after playing just 12 minutes and going scoreless. Fellow guard Goran Dragic (knee) is also out for […]
