That due diligence will save you from making a costly mistake. A couple of big Bulls injuries happened this week, which is unfortunate for this Bulls fan […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/25/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Tuesday, RotoBallers! A surprisingly-big eight-game Tuesday slate follows an unusually-small Monday night for the NBA. However, with the NFL winding down (at least in the number of games), basketball can begin to spread its matchups throughout the week more evenly. So as the season moves past the halfway point, I'll be looking forward to […]

We skipped yesterday's slate and I'm glad as it was just about the ugliest day of NBA I have seen in a while. So it's a special Tuesday edition of my NBA Best Bets today as we have a much more palatable group of games going off tonight. It's a 9-game slate tonight and I […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 15: Torrey Craig, Rodney McGruder, Day'Ron Sharpe, Caleb Martin

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 […]

Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 15: Justin Holiday, Nerlens Noel, Kevon Looney, Bismack Biyombo, Danilo Gallinari

I'm still pissed off about my Bulls losing to the Orlando Magic, but at least in fantasy Magic, I'm holding it down. I guess we all have to be good at something, right? Let's see how our top picks last week fared: Nicolas Claxton (FG%, N/A INJ), Danilo Gallinari  (FT%, 10th-round value), Coby White (PTS […]

Patty Mills (PG/SG, BKN): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of leagues ANALYSIS: Kyrie Irving is back. So that means Patty Mills' upside is now cut in half, right? Wrong! Well, maybe that "in half" is more of a joke than reality because of Irving's availability only on games played on the road and not in […]

Nicolas Claxton Remains Unavailable For Friday’s Game

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's contest vs. the Spurs, marking his fifth consecutive absence due to a tight left hamstring. Day'Ron Sharpe has taken over starting duties without Claxton in the mix and averaged 12 points and seven boards despite playing below 22 minutes per outing. The matchup […]

Happy Friday RotoBallers! As usual, we have a jam-packed Friday night slate, filled with some juicy matchups. These articles focus on the overall best plays, which are typically more suited for cash games. However, with larger slates like this one, you don't have to worry about ownership getting steamed up too hard usually, so consider […]

Wednesday was a disappointing 1-3 day for me. While the Nets won, the Timberwolves crumbled in the third quarter after leading up until that point against Atlanta. Then Jimmy Butler got himself ejected from the Miami game, which really hurt Miami's chances of going over their total there. Even our parlay was ruined by the […]

It's Thursday and we have hoops on our televisions! We truly are blessed. While there are only three games tipping off, two will be featured on TNT, headlined by the PHX/DAL matchup tipping off at 7:30 PM ET.

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (1/19/22)

We hit both our spread bets on Wednesday but missed yet another total. The totals have been so wonky lately that it's forced me to make some tweaks to my model to incorporate a rolling recent 10-game sample and hopefully that's going to help us get a better idea there. In the meantime, I will […]

Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 14: Eric Gordon, Patrick Beverley, LaMarcus Aldridge, Patty Mills

If you're one of those fantasy basketball players that sets a lineup at the beginning of the week, checks out, and then comes back seven days later to see how things shook out, this post is not for you. This is for those who are grinding through each day and keeping track of categories as […]

Fantasy Basketball Injury Updates for Week 14 - Kevin Durant, Zach LaVine, Stephen Curry, Myles Turner, Tyrese Haliburton

Another week went by already? Man, time just keeps moving faster in fantasy basketball land. Most teams have played a bit over half of their games at this point and we're reaching a bit of a lull in the season where new guys are stepping up and some of the guys we considered fantasy gold […]

MLK Day is always one of the more momentous days on the NBA calendar each season, and today is certainly no exception.

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 14

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 […]

Kevin Durant Out At Least A Month

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (knee) will miss at least a month. The former MVP sustained a sprained left MCL during Saturday's win over New Orleans, and he will now be on the shelf for four-to-six weeks. The 33-year-old has played well this year, averaging 29.3 points, 7.4 boards, and 5.8 assists. However, his workload […]

NBA Waiver Wire Streamers for Fantasy Basketball Week 14 (Jan 17 - Jan 23)

It feels like just yesterday we were drafting our NBA fantasy teams, full of hope that our early picks will stay healthy, that our late-round picks will have breakout seasons and that we will be sitting comfortably at the top of our league tables by now. And now, Week 14 is upon us and most […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Not Available On Saturday

Brooklyn Nets center LaMarcus Aldridge (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) is also sidelined, so the Nets are going to be shorthanded in the front court. Aldridge will miss his fifth straight game here and can be dropped in most fantasy formats at this point. […]

Kyrie Irving Unavailable For Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (personal) won't be available for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Irving is ineligible to play home games due to his vaccination status. There are rumors that Irving could become a full-time player soon, but who knows when that will happen. Until then, James Harden and Kevin Durant will […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/15/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We have an unusually-large slate for a Saturday as there are nine games on tap, kicking off with the Blazers-Wizards matchup at 6:00 CT. The Pelicans-Nets affair leads the slate with a 230.5-point implied total, though the Lakers-Nuggets and aforementioned Blazers-Wizards games also profile as being very favorable for fantasy production. The Knicks-Hawks, Clippers-Spurs, and […]

Nicolas Claxton Will Miss Thursday’s Contest

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game vs. the Thunder due to a sore left hamstring. It marks the second consecutive absence for Claxton, paving the way for Dayron Sharpe -- who dropped 20 points Wednesday -- to make another start at the five. Claxton had developed a fantasy […]

Kevin Durant, Patty Mills Will Miss Thursday’s Game

Brooklyn Nets power forward Kevin Durant (rest) and point/shooting guard Patty Mills (rest) will be held out of Thursday's contest against the Thunder due to rest purposes. Durant, the league's leading scorer at 29.7 points per game, has been on a scoring tear as of late, having dropped at least 24 points in each of […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/13/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We're set for a five-game slate Thursday night, one that features plenty of big names at the top end of the salary scale. With the exception of Kyrie Irving, who'll sit out the Nets' home game as usual, there are no short-term absences among the top-shelf options, making it a fun night for those who […]

James Harden Returns Versus Chicago

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (knee) will play during Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He'll return here after missing one contest due to left knee hyperextension. The Nets will also have Kyrie Irving (ankle) available after he suffered a minor injury during his last contest. That being said, it appears the Nets have their […]

Kyrie Irving Will Play Against Bulls

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (ankle) will play during Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He suffered a left ankle sprain during Monday's contest, which made his status for this contest uncertain. However, the Nets play two straight home games after this game, so Irving won't be available for those contests. It sounds like he'll […]
