FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/17/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

We've got a lot to prep for on yet another big Wednesday slate. As usual, this stands out in contrast to the Tuesday so let's not waste any more time and get straight to business. Point guard and small forward immediately jump out as spots I want to pay up for the big guns on […]

Kris Dunn Flourishing as a Floor General

Chicago Bulls guard Kris Dunn continues to excel as the team's floor general, finishing with 10 assists and only two turnovers despite a forgettable shooting night in the win against the Miami Heat. The emerging sophomore has had at least eight assists in every game except for the New Years loss against the Portland Trail […]

Lauri Markkanen Fastest to Net 100 Threes in NBA History

Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen hit the record book by becoming the fastest player in NBA history to knock down 100 threes in the win against the Miami Heat. The standout rookie finished with 17 points on 6-for-13 shooting from the field, 3-for-6 from deep, and chipped in with nine rebounds. Markkanen is averaging 19.4 […]

Justin Holiday Efficient From Three In Win Over Heat

Chicago Bulls forward Justin Holiday had an excellent shooting performance, hitting seven of his 11 threes. Holiday finished with 25 points and four rebounds, but this game was all about the emergence of Zach LaVine in just his second game in a Bulls uniform. Holiday played his usual number of minutes, but the scoring continues to […]

Zach LaVine Is Back

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine was exceptionally promising in his second game in the Bulls rotation. In only 19 minutes, he scored 19 points on 12 shots, adding five rebounds and five assists to his stat line. Not only was this important for LaVine’s confidence, it was a surprisingly relevant fantasy performance. LaVine should be […]

NBA Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Week 14 and Buy/Sell

Drop the dead weight, make an effort to improve your team via trades / waiver wire. Don't be attached to short-term pick ups […]

Zach LaVine Will Play About 20 Minutes Monday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) will play about 20 minutes in Monday's contest against the Miami Heat. LaVine made his season debut Saturday, scoring 14 points with two assists in 19 minutes. Once again, the Bulls aren't going to let LaVine play in the fourth quarter. Denzel Valentine will lose some minutes and value […]

Zach LaVine Will Only Play Three Quarters

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) will make his season debut against the Detroit Pistons on Saturday. LaVine, who is on a 20-minute limit, will not play in the fourth quarter on Saturday. Head coach Fred Hoiberg said LaVine will not play in the fourth quarter and will be re-evaluated after the game. Denzel Valentine […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/13/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

There is a funky 7-game main slate on Saturday, so once again precision is going to be key. There aren't that many options out there, but there is still plenty of value ready to be utilized. Truthfully, none of these games are all that enticing from a general standpoint, but the Bulls-Pistons should be fairly […]

Nikola Mirotic Expected to Play Saturday

Chicago Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic (illness) is expected to play against the Detroit Pistons on Saturday. He practiced on Friday after missing the last two games with a stomach bug. He's cooled off since his red-hot start but is still averaging 7.4 points and 7.0 rebounds per contest. It could be his last game with […]

Zach LaVine Will Start on Saturday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) will make his season debut on Saturday against the Detroit Pistons. LaVine will play with the starting unit, but will be on a 20-minute limit. The Bulls will likely keep LaVine on a minutes limit and hold him out of back-to-back contests for the foreseeable future. He will have […]

Nikola Mirotic Doubtful on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic (illness) is doubtful to play against the New York Knicks on Wednesday. He did not go through shootaround, and it's looking like Mirotic will miss his second game in a row. The Bulls have just one more game until Jan. 15 (when Mirotic can be traded), so he may have […]

NBA Waiver Wire Pickups: Deep League Adds for Week 13

As injuries and ineffectiveness cause shakeups around the league, it’s time to keep a sharper eye on the wire, especially in deeper leagues. Take a look at Delon Wright. If you grabbed Wright last week, Lowry’s unfortunate injury has opened a new door for him to showcase what he can do in a larger role, […]

Nikola Mirotic Questionable Against Knicks

Chicago Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic (illness) is questionable to play against the New York Knicks on Wednesday. He did travel with the team to New York but is dealing with a stomach bug. Mirotic was forced to sit out of Monday's contest due to illness. Bobby Portis dropped 22 points, four rebounds and two assists […]

Denzel Valentine Shows Off His All-Around Game

Chicago Bulls forward/guard Denzel Valentine displayed his all-around game Monday, finishing with 19 points on 7-for-13 shooting from the field, five triples, eight rebounds and five assists in the loss against the Houston Rockets. The versatile sophomore has scored in double figures in four of the last five games. He has had a promising start […]

Nikola Mirotic Doubtful on Monday

Chicago Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic (illness) is doubtful to play against the Houston Rockets on Monday. Mirotic has a stomach virus and wasn't at morning shootaround on Monday. Owners should get a backup plan ready with Mirotic being considered doubtful to play. Lauri Markkanen will be locked into heavy minutes on Monday and is a […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/8/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Welcome to Week 13 of basketball in the Association. I can't believe we're already here - this season is really flying by, but heating up just the same. I can live with those two things coinciding. Anyway, pretty nice set of games we have on deck for this evening, with eight games, and lock, per […]

David Nwaba Gets Guaranteed Deal Through Season

Chicago Bulls guard/forward David Nwaba has been given a guaranteed contract through the remainder of the season. He has quickly become one of head coach Fred Hoiberg's favorite players on defense. Sadly, a lot of what he brings to the table doesn't have much impact in fantasy hoops. He's averaging 7.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.3 […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/6/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Six games tonight with an early Warriors-Clippers game at 2:30PM. It's important to note the lack of options at small forward, and the problem is whether to go big with LeBron James or Giannis Antetokounmpo. Even Jimmy Butler is enticing, but both Butler and James have the better matchups on paper. Antetokounmpo will be going […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/6/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a 6 game NBA slate, which is a bit small for a Saturday but 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 […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/5/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

You know what we deserve after a two game slate? Double digit games and good matchups. Tonight, we're getting both as there are 10 games across the Association.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/5/18): NBA DFS Lineups

There were only two games last night, but that opens up a big slate for tonight. We have 10 games, which gives up a solid amount of players to choose from. There is no right or wrong way for lineup construction tonight, although I'm leaning more towards mid-priced options at this point. In this article, […]

Robin Lopez Dumps 12 Points On Toronto

Chicago Bulls center Robin Lopez saw 24 minutes of action in the loss to the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night. Lopez scored 12 points on a decent 5-for-11 from the field and also dished out six assists to the benefit of his teammates. Lopez is usually good for some points and boards, but his bread […]

Justin Holiday Drains Six from Deep

Chicago Bulls guard Justin Holiday was productive despite his team falling to the Toronto Raptors. Holiday played 39 minutes, scoring 26 points. He was accurate from both the field and from deep, going 7-for-10 from the field and 6-for-9 from deep to finish out the night. He also contributed in other areas slightly, but his […]

Nikola Mirotic is Probable on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic (ribs) is probable to play against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. He was listed as questionable in the game notes but has now been upgraded to probable. It's always tough to trust the game notes, so owners will need to wait until head coach Fred Hoiberg addresses the media prior […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/1/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Happy New Year, Rotoballers! We made it to 2018. Yay for us. The NBA is giving us just a four game slate to work with tonight, but that's okay as we're likely to be a little distracted today by incredible college football games and good food. I do appreciate the NBA knocking tip off back […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (12/31/17): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
