Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 20: Devonte' Graham, Xavier Tillman, Naz Reid

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]

Kyrie Irving Scores 40 Points In Win On Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving went off alongside Luka Doncic and took down the third-seeded Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night. The 30-year-old posted 40 points, four rebounds, six assists, and three steals on 15-for-22 shooting overall and 6-for-8 from beyond the arc. The dynamic duo of Doncic and Irving has worked pretty well so far […]

Luka Doncic Leads All Scorers In Win Over 76ers

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic enjoyed a huge offensive night alongside his new backcourt mate as he and Kyrie Irving combined for 82 points. The perennial MVP candidate finished the game with 42 points, 12 assists, four rebounds, and one steal while shooting 13-for-22 from the floor, 7-for-13 from three, and 9-for-11 from the line. […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/2/23): NBA DFS Lineups

A palindromic date brings us four games in the Association tonight. We already know that NBA DFS is not for the faint of heart with all of the load management issues, but tonight seems particularly tough. Like so tough that wiping your ass with 24-grit sandpaper might sound more appealing. 13 players have already been […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (3/1/23)

Hey RotoBallers! My name's Josh Wiesel. I'll be helping contribute to this section and am excited to hopefully bring some good picks. The format will be staying relatively the same as we pick a variety of games against the spread, game totals, parlays, and teasers. I have added an underdog parlay at the end with […]

Maxi Kleber Will Play Limited Minutes Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (hamstring) will play a reduced role on Tuesday against the Indiana Pacers. Kleber is returning after about a two and a half month break due to a right hamstring tear so the limited minutes makes sense from a coaching perspective. Dwight Powell will continue to start for now but may […]

Early-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 19

It's one of the lighter weeks of the season here in Week 19 as only around half of the teams in the league play four games with the other half playing only two or three. We have only four games tonight and Thursday night with Tuesday (9) and Wednesday (10) being the days with the […]

Buy-Sell Candidates and Fantasy Impact of NBA Trade Deadline

The NBA trade deadline has come and gone, and as expected, some significant moves were made by teams looking to improve their chances of making a deep playoff run. While some trades may have seemed more impactful than others, there are always fantasy implications to consider when evaluating the players involved. While the Kevin Durant […]

Fantasy Basketball Watch: NBA Trade Deadline Winners and Losers

The 2023 NBA trade deadline was for the ages. After 11 trades, the NBA landscape shifted like the ice age. Contenders became afterthoughts; losers received a shot of hope; overall, the league experienced a seismic shift in power. On the fantasy basketball side, though, there weren't as many losers. Since the play-in tournament's inception, typically […]

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

I brought you into the break here at RotoBaller and I'll bring you out the other side as well. The Association is back with a robust nine-game slate to get us back in the mood after a week of stepping out with college kids and hockey players missing teeth. This is the time when players […]

Kyrie Irving Removed From Injury Report

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (back) is not on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The superstar guard missed the final game before the All-Star break due to lower back tightness. Although, Irving did play in the All-Star Game, so it appears his back tightness isn't bothering him anymore. […]

2023 Fantasy Basketball Playoffs Schedule Analysis

NBA All-Star weekend has come to a close, which means two things. One, and maybe most obvious, we're in the "second half" of the 2022-23 NBA season. Two, and maybe more importantly for many of you, we're nearing the fantasy basketball playoffs. And with the fantasy basketball playoffs on the horizon, we also have the […]

NBA DFS and Sports Betting Trends: All-Star Break Analysis

We are only one more day away from the return of basketball and if you're a total NBA nut like me, you're ready for it after a full week off. I didn't pay much attention to the All-Star weekend festivities but instead spent more time preparing for the final third of the regular season by […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 19: Daniel Gafford, Kyle Anderson, Terance Mann

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]

Josh Green (SF, DAL) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 19

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Mavericks moved a lot of valuable assets to land Kyrie Irving and give Luka Doncic a helping backcourt teammate once and for all. That trade opened the way for Josh Green to start games on a nightly basis, something he's done […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/19/23): NBA DFS Lineups

Recommending lineup picks for tonight's All-Star Game is bordering on being an impossible task. What makes this so hard is that the teams haven't yet been picked, so we have to use sheer guesswork to figure out which players will get the most minutes and which might hog usage and fantasy production. Another oddity is […]

Cam Thomas (SF, BKN) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 19

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 34% of leagues ANALYSIS: After the Nets decided it was time to move on from Kyrie Irving, Cam Thomas was shown the bright light of the Brooklynite day, started three consecutive games, and bagged 47, 43, and 20 points in those after dumping 44 in the […]

Kyle Anderson (SF, MIN) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 19

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: Love him or hate him, Kyle Anderson has seemingly found his game in Minny this season. Circumstances (read: injuries to teammates) have genuinely helped him experience that breakout, of course, but that doesn't take from what he's been able to do through […]

Kyrie Irving A Late Addition To Injury Report

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (back) is now questionable to play Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. Irving popped up on the injury report late Wednesday after experiencing some tightness in his lower back. Late additions to the injury report are never a good sign and if Irving is ultimately ruled out, Luka Doncic should see […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Ruled Out Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's clash with the Nuggets. He will miss a second consecutive game with right hamstring tightness. Reggie Bullock (illness) took Hardaway Jr.'s spot in the starting unit Monday versus Minnesota and should remain in the role against Denver, with the team listing him […]

Christian Wood Dealing With Illness

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Christian Wood (illness) is questionable to play Wednesday versus the Denver Nuggets. A non-COVID illness has made its way around the Dallas locker room and Wood may miss Wednesday's game because of it. Wood and the Mavericks will likely see how he feels pregame before a decision is made on his status. […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Uncertain Against Denver

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (hamstring) is questionable to play Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. Hardaway is dealing with tightness in his hamstring and has already missed a game due to the injury. The Mavericks could choose to sit Hardaway with the All-Star break right around the corner. Reggie Bullock (illness) got the start […]

Reggie Bullock Questionable Versus Nuggets

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Reggie Bullock (illness) is questionable to play Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. Bullock has been playing big minutes over the past few games, but is apparently feeling under the weather and is in jeopardy of missing Wednesday's game. Bullock will likely test how he feels pregame before a decision is made on […]

Kyrie Irving Finishes Red-Hot Night With 36 Points

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving was on fire against Minnesota on Monday, shooting 15-for-23 from the field en route to a game-high 36 points. Luka Doncic added 33 points on 10-for-20 shooting, but the Mavericks still couldn't pull off a victory, dropping the game at home 124-121. Irving was 4-for-9 with the three-ball and completed […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18 Include Jeremy Sochan, Josh Green, Dennis Schroder, Sam Hauser

Welcome back to RotoBaller's weekly fantasy basketball waiver wire column and schedule breakdown. We've reached the weird week that is All-Star week, which is actually two weeks long, but with a break in the middle for the All-Star Game itself. The NBA season just keeps on chugging along, and so does the fantasy basketball season. […]

Reggie Bullock (SF, DAL) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of leagues ANALYSIS: The massacre perpetrated in Dallas in the effort to land Kyrie Irving was expected to be fixed before the trade deadline... but it never came to happen. I'm talking, of course, of the Mavericks trading away every living breathing forward in their […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. (SG, DAL) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's been a while since tweener Tim Hardaway Jr. moved from his classic SG role to manning the SF slot in Dallas, making room for Luka Doncic and Spencer Dinwiddie to operate the one-and-two-guard spots. That's great for the future of Timmy […]

Early-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 18

The NBA All-Star break splits Week 18 right down the middle. We have a ton of action tonight and Wednesday in the association and a fairly light schedule on Tuesday and Thursday. Then we get an entire week off (what will we do with ourselves?) until the following Thursday, February 22nd when games resume. All […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 18: Tim Hardaway, Devonte' Graham, Immanuel Quickley

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]
