NBA DFS Prop Picks for 12/17/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

Happy Tuesday, RotoBallers. We had a great 4-for-5 night last night if you tailed my Monkey Knife Fight picks. Only Tim Hardaway Jr and his 0-for-5 night from three point land let us down. Let's do it again! We have an almost as enticing slate tonight with six games, so let's find four or five […]

Marvin Williams is Probable for Tuesday

Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams (knee) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Williams should see more playing time coming his way with PJ Washington (finger) sidelined. The Hornets have been reportedly shopping Williams on the trade market. He's going to carry decent fantasy value while Washington is out.

Deep Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds (Week 9)

Two things I wanted to address in this intro and they both revolve around the same narrative. The Suns have been pretty spectacular given they lost on of their better players early in the season, but that suspension is over and is going to immediately impact fantasy scoring. While Deandre Ayton controls the paint like […]

Charlotte Hornets power forward/center Cody Zeller rejoined the starting lineup for Sunday’s defeat to the Indiana Pacers and notched his second consecutive double-double with 19 points and 12 rebounds to his credit.

Terry Rozier Scuffles From Field, Ties Season Low In Scoring

Charlotte Hornets point/shooting guard Terry Rozier finished 1-for-12 from the floor during Sunday’s defeat to the Indiana Pacers, tying his season low with just three points.

Nicolas Batum is Questionable for Sunday

Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum (finger) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The Hornets already will be without PJ Washington (finger) and Marvin Williams (knee) on Sunday. Having Batum would be great, but the Hornets are likely going to wait and see how he feels closer to tip-off. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, […]

PJ Washington Won't Suit Up Sunday

Charlotte Hornets forward PJ Washington (finger) won't suit up for Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He suffered a fractured finger on his right hand during the fourth quarter of Friday's game. Washington is expected to miss at least five games, according to Adrian Wojnarowski.

PJ Washington (finger) won't play on Sunday, so Michael […]

Cody Zeller, Bismack Biyombo Combine For Huge Outing

If the duo of Cody Zeller and Bismack Biyombo were one player for the Charlotte Hornets, they would have put together a monster 23-point, 19-rebound evening during Friday’s win over the Chicago Bulls. Instead, the two each played 24 minutes, with Zeller notching a double-double (his second in his last three games) off the bench […]

PJ Washington Collects Second Career Double-Double

Charlotte Hornets power forward PJ Washington tied his career high in shot attempts with 17 during Friday’s win over the Chicago Bulls, utilizing that aggressiveness to assist him in notching the second double-double of his career.

Nicolas Batum is Doubtful on Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum (hand) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He's been dealing with left hand discomfort since the beginning of December.

Marvin Williams Ruled Out Against Bulls

Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Miles Bridges and PJ Washington will see increased playing time, especially with Nicolas Batum (hand) doubtful for Friday as well. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist has been back in the rotation lately, but will lose most of his minutes once Williams […]

Miles Bridges Scuffles From Field During 14-Point Night

Charlotte Hornets small forward Miles Bridges collected 14 points and shot 3-for-7 from long range during Wednesday’s win over the Brooklyn Nets, but his 4-for-16 overall shooting performance was one of his weaker marks of the season. Bridges’ night was far from a dud, as he also collected four rebounds and two assists. Moving forward, […]

Devonte' Graham Drops Career-High 40 Points In Win

The breakout campaign of Charlotte Hornets point/shooting guard Devonte' Graham continued to reach new heights during Wednesday’s victory over the Brooklyn Nets, as he collected a career-high 40 points on 12-for-21 shooting overall. As has become his niche, Graham fired up a pile of threes, going 7-for-12 from behind the arc, also chipping in five […]

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham recorded 29 points, six assists, six triples, two steals, a block, and a rebound in a 114-107 win over the Washington Wizards. Graham continues to make a case for himself as the NBA's Most Improved Player, as he's blown his rookie year numbers out of the water. Oddly enough, he's […]

Terry Rozier Flirts With Triple-Double In Win

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier scored 17 points with eight rebounds, seven assists, one triple, and one steal in a 114-107 win over the Washington Wizards.

NBA Weekly Streamers for Week 8 (Dec 9 - Dec 15)

Recently I had a short conversation on Reddit (fantasybball subreddit of course) about the benefits and importance of streaming. The fantasy owner who started the conversation analyzed the stats his streamers have brought him over a three-week period and calculated that it was equal to a top-25 to top-40 production. Mind you, this was a […]
