Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers: Week 21

Okay, so I think we need to talk about something real quick that has nothing to do with this column. That thing is this: JAMES HARDEN MADE WES JOHNSON FALL DOWN AND THEN HE JUST STOOD THERE AND THEN MADE SURE HE WAS BEHIND THE LINE AND THEN HE HIT A THREE. It was a […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/28/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

We've got a big NBA Wednesday, with nine games on the main slate. Like Tuesday, the options at guard are largely uninspiring.

As […]

Harrison Barnes Scores 21 Points Versus Pacers

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/26/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

I'll be honest, I am starting to get the multi-sport cravings again. The beautiful thing about hoops is that, up through the Super Bowl, we always have another sport to play and having that really decreases the chances you get burnt out on one sport. February changes all that, and it's been a long, short […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/24/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

There are seven games in total tonight, but FanDuel is only pulling players from six games, excluding the Orlando Magic - Philadelphia 76ers contest. Not that big of a deal, but the smaller slate of games means you are not going to be able to mess around when it comes to price. I am avoiding […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/23/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We're back to another huge Friday slate! We had six games last night to wet our whistles, but it's now time for a slate with double digit games. It seems as if most player's price tags dropped a bit from the All Star Break, which gives up a lot of good value, even if they […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Shallow League Adds for Week 19

It's Week 19 (or still "week 18" where this week and last are both the part of the same H2H matchup).  The All-Star break is officially over and that means we're just a few weeks away from fantasy playoffs. We're in the home stretch of the season and working the waiver wire successfully in these […]

Dirk Nowitzki's Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

Nowitzki has averaged 15.4 points and 6.8 rebounds in February, shooting very well from the field (52.9 percent) and from behind the arc […]

Harrison Barnes' Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

Dallas Mavericks small forward Harrison Barnes should continue his solid but unspectacular play during the second half of the season. Barnes leads the team in minutes (34.4), points (18.3) and rebounds (6.6) this season, shooting 44.9 percent from the floor and 35 percent from behind the arc. However, his fantasy upside is limited, as he […]

Dennis Smith Jr.'s Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. will be a fun but possibly also a frustrating player to own during the second half of the season. The rookie from North Carolina State is having a solid first year in the league, averaging 14.8 points, 4.9 assists and 3.9 rebounds per game, but he's got potential […]

Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers: The All-Star Break

Hey y'all! We've reached the All-Star break, which means we don't have any basketball games again until next Thursday, unless you count the All-Star Game itself, which is technically basketball and technically will happen this week. Will this new format help the game? Probably not! We'll still see a final score somewhere in the 180-190 […]

Dirk Nowitzki Plays Well In Return To Lineup

NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds for Week 18

A lot will change after the NBA All-Star break.
