So here you are.  You are on top of your league with an unexpectedly hot start from a player you drafted in the 4th round or later -- or perhaps didn't draft at all.  Do you keep riding the wave or look to sell high?  Today we'll take a look at a group of players […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Punting Small Stats (FT%, 3PM, AST) for Week 4

Another week of NBA is behind us. Another set of ups and downs, poor performances, injuries and opportunities for new faces to shine. Another week of shots blocked, balls stolen, rebounds grabbed. On the other hand, another week of missed free throws, no threes shot and no balls passed. For all of you who don't […]

NBA Keeper/Dynasty: Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics

Ever since the signing of coach Brad Stevens prior to the 2013 season, the Boston Celtics have adopted a style of play that has been quite the deviation from their days of transcendent superstars like Bill Russell, Larry Bird, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett just to name a few, leading their teams to championships. Surprising almost everyone, […]

It's never too early to start streaming. Whether you have an opening due to an injury, you auction-drafted a crew of stars and scrubs, or you just didn't bother putting any effort into your last couple draft picks, you probably have a player or two on your team who isn't must-own. You're better off using […]

Hello again and welcome to another week of statistics that point in every direction. We'll continue to try our best to make sense of the endless numbers. The good news about this week: three players have made it very easy to see some promise in them going forward (no pun intended). Whether it is return […]

NBA Forwards: Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

Hello again -- it's time to find some more "diamonds in the rough" at the forward positions. As the weeks progress and the NBA season trudges on I, along with all of you, am reminded of one painfully clear fact in professional basketball: week by week, the super stars continuously dominate every statistical category. This […]

E'Twaun Moore (PG/SG, CHI) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: E'Twaun Moore was a late second-round pick back in 2011, but never really found much success with any of his three NBA teams until this season. Bulls star swingman Jimmy Butler has battled injuries all season, most notably a knee injury that […]

E'Twaun Moore (SG, CHI) - FanDuel Upside Play on 2/10/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ATL, $4,200 ANALYSIS: I'm pretty underwhelmed by the options at shooting guard tonight, especially the pricier options, and with that in mind I'm looking for cheaper options with solid minutes and opportunity. Mr. Moore fits that description this evening, and he's currently playing some of the best basketball of his career. He's exceeded […]

Taj Gibson (PF, CHI) - Safe FanDuel Play on 1/14/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at PHI, $4,700 ANALYSIS: Obviously with Gasol out tonight, picking one of the Chicago bigs is a must. However, I have a feeling that a large chunk of DFSers are going to lean towards Bobby Portis tonight. Although Portis is a great value at $3,500, he has a significantly lower ceiling than Taj. Even when Portis […]

Aaron Brooks (PG, CHI) - Great Value Play on FanDuel for 1/14/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at PHI, $3,700 ANALYSIS: This is one of my potential home run picks for the night. Although with Pau Gasol out, this game could be closer than normal, I still expect this game to be a blowout. Couple that with the fact that Derrick Rose did not practice yesterday, and there seems to be huge […]

Nikola Mirotic (PF/SF, CHI) - FanDuel Tournament Play on 1/11/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs WAS, $5,500 ANALYSIS: Nikola Mirotic makes for a great tournament play tonight against the Washington Wizards. The Wizards are horrible against both the power forward and small forward positions. That means that Mirotic should have a solid outing. In his last game, against the Atlanta Hawks, he posted over 40 fantasy points. He […]

Pau Gasol (PF, CHI) - Top Option on FanDuel for 1/11/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs WAS, $8,700: ANALYSIS: Pau Gasol is the best forward option on the board tonight against the Washington Wizards. The Wizards are an uptempo team, and they are going to keep this game close. That means that Gasol is going to play big minutes. Gasol did not look great in his last game against […]

Taj Gibson (PF, CHI) - Value Play on FanDuel on 1/7/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs BOS, $5,400 ANALYSIS: Taj Gibson is the only sub $8,000 big man I really feel comfortable rostering tonight. With Joakim Noah still out nursing a shoulder injury, Gibson has had a much larger role within the Bulls front court rotation. Last game against Milwaukee he tallied a double- double (11 points, 14 rebounds) with […]

Jimmy Butler (SG, CHI) - Strong FanDuel Play on 1/7/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs BOS, $8,500 ANALYSIS: Now a lot of people might prefer to spend a little extra and nab James Harden, but because of the discount and the matchup, I prefer Butler here. Straight up Butler has been on fire recently. Over his last four games hes totaled at least 40 FD points, and I'm optimistic […]

Nikola Mirotic (PF, CHI) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/3/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at TOR, $5,000 ANALYSIS: In Mirotic's last four games, the power forward has tallied over 40 fantasy points twice, but also posted an embarrassing 8.0 and 12.25 in the other two. This is an intriguing matchup including two teams separated by half a game in the standings, surely to highlight Sunday's card with its competitiveness. It's […]

Bobby Portis (PF, CHI) - Risk/Reward DraftKings Play on 1/1/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs NY, $3,900 ANALYSIS: The Bulls are finally giving Portis minutes, as he has played 26 and 27 minutes in his last two games. He has scored 27.25 and 25.25 fantasy points in those games, and he’ll likely play around 25 minutes again tonight. He gets a good matchup against the Knicks, who have […]

Nikola Mirotic (SF/PF, CHI) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add and start in all leagues OWNED: 44% in Yahoo! Fantasy basketball leagues ANALYSIS: Wildly regarded as the top talent not playing in the NBA a year ago, Mirotic has used his rookie season as the perfect audition reel for those questioning his place in the League. With Taj Gibson out, Mirotic is the […]

Derrick Rose Injured Again, Deja Vu for Bulls Fans

Chicago Bulls fans should be used to hearing something along these lines: “Derrick Rose to undergo surgery after torn meniscus.” This is Rose's third surgery since 2012. Rose reported pain in his right knee earlier Tuesday. After an MRI, it was confirmed he had a tear in his meniscus. A surgery will be scheduled and a […]

Tony Snell (SG/SF, CHI) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in deeper leagues; monitor in all leagues OWNED: 10% in Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball leagues ANALYSIS: Some experts believed the Bulls to get a gem when they nabbed Tony Snell with the 20th pick in this year's draft. An athletic specimen out of New Mexico (whose team went 79-26 and won two conference championships while he […]

Mike Dunleavy (SG/SF, CHI) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add as a three point specialist OWNED: 35% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball leagues ANALYSIS: Mike Dunleavy returned from injury two games before the All Star Break. He then got an additional week off for the extended All Star break. Though Dunleavy won't give you stats in many categories (rebounding, assists, steals, blocks), he does provide steady […]
