It was another successful Sunday, as I had my second GPP takedown in three days. I have to watch myself tonight to make sure I don't put more in play than I usually would (bankroll management, baby), but we have a fun five-game slate to break down tonight. For FanDuel picks, click here for Thunder […]

It’s great to be back in the swing of things in the NBA, RotoBallers. In these articles, I focus on the top plays, traditionally geared toward cash games. However, with over a decade of NBA DFS experience under my belt—and as someone who rarely dives into cash formats—I'm selecting picks that also typically come with […]

It’s Friday, and you know what that means: another edition of Buy, Sell, or Hold! Yes, we’re far enough into the season to start forming some opinions—but don’t get too comfortable!

Fantasy Basketball Sleepers, Buy/Sell: Rotation Watch and Minute Trends for Week 3

Welcome to the second edition of RotoBaller's NBA Minutes Watch. Solidified depth charts are emerging now that every team is at least five games in. To track the minutes and general direction of each team’s rotation, we’ve charted nearly every player who has played at least five games this season. When stronger sample sizes develop, […]

Caris LeVert Good To Go On Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert (knee) will return for Wednesday's contest against the Pelicans. The 30-year-old missed the Cavs' previous two games because of right knee soreness, opening the door for more minutes for Isaac Okoro and Sam Merrill. While Okoro should continue to start with Dean Wade (illness) and Max Strus (ankle) sidelined, LeVert's […]

Dean Wade Still Out Wednesday Night With Illness

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (illness) will miss his second consecutive game on Wednesday night when the Cavaliers face off against the New Orleans Pelicans. Wade missed Monday night's win against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday dealing with the same illness. Wade's averaged 6.9 PPG and 4.4 RPG this season. Wade's absence shouldn't scare Cleveland […]

Caris LeVert Picks Up A Questionable Tag For Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Pelicans. The veteran has missed the last two games because of right knee soreness. But with Max Strus (ankle) and Dean Wade (illness) sidelined, LeVert could see some meaningful minutes if he plays. But if he isn't ready to return, Isaac Okoro […]

Dean Wade Won’t Play Against The Bucks

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (illness) won't play on Monday versus Milwaukee. Wade has been starting in place of the injured Max Strus (ankle). However, he's averaged only 6.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.3 steals this season. With Caris LeVert (knee) also out, Isaac Okoro will move into the starting lineup and be worth adding […]

Caris LeVert Remains Out Versus Milwaukee

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Caris LeVert (knee) won't play on Monday against the Bucks. The veteran has been battling knee soreness, so he'll miss his second consecutive contest. With Dean Wade (illness) also out versus Milwaukee, Isaac Okoro will get the start, giving him streaming potential for fantasy managers. Sam Merrill, coming off a 17-point showing […]

Caris LeVert Questionable Against Bucks On Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (knee) is suffering from some knee soreness, which has made him questionable to go up against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday. The 30-year-old missed the team's last matchup with the Bucks for the same reason, so it's unclear if he'll be able to give it a go at the moment. […]

NBA DFS Picks for Daily Fantasy Basketball on DraftKings and FanDuel (11/4/24)

If you play both sites, tonight's NBA action is VASTLY different. DraftKings has condensed to an eight-game slate, with the last game being the 8:45 EST contest between the Knicks and Rockets. FanDuel, on the other hand, has decided to include every late game, which means you have to deal with ALL 30 TEAMS over […]

NBA DFS: Top Daily Fantasy Expert Picks for DraftKings, FanDuel (11/3/24)

Craig Porter Jr. Cleared To Play On Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Craig Porter Jr. (thumb) has been cleared to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Porter hasn't played in each of the last three games due to a right thumb sprain. He's available on Saturday, but hasn't seen more than eight minutes when healthy. However, Caris LeVert (knee) has been […]

Caris LeVert Won't Play Versus Milwaukee

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (knee) won't play in Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. LeVert is dealing with knee soreness. However, it's more likely he's getting a night off, considering he logged 22 minutes on Friday against the Orlando Magic. The 30-year-old has averaged 12.0 points and 4.3 assists this season. He's also shot […]

Craig Porter Jr. Listed As Doubtful For Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Craig Porter Jr. (thumb) is listed as doubtful for Friday night's matchup against the Orlando Magic. Porter is dealing with a thumb strain that has kept him out of Cleveland's last two games. Even when active, though, the 24-year-old has only gotten minutes during garbage time. Cleveland is likely to give […]

Two games stand out from the rest of the pack in terms of their […]

Dean Wade Starting Against Toronto

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade will start in Wednesday's meeting with the Raptors. Max Strus (ankle) will be sidelined for at least four weeks, so Wade will do his best to fill the void in the lineup. Unfortunately, the 27-year-old averaged only 6.3 points and 4.7 rebounds in 32 starts last season. With that in […]

Max Strus Suffers Sprained Right Ankle

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Max Strus (ankle) suffered a sprained right ankle on Thursday during a workout. The 28-year-old underwent an MRI, confirming the severity, and he'll be re-evaluated in six weeks. Unfortunately, Strus' return date remains a mystery. But even when he's cleared to return, it will take time for him to get back to […]
