It's New Year's Eve, and I can't think of a better day to make some money with daily fantasy basketball contests. The matchups are reasonably evenly spread in terms of their fantasy appeal tonight. Still, there is a clear tier break in the implied totals after the Nets-Hornets, Pelicans-Grizzlies, Mavericks-Spurs, and Pistons-Timberwolves matchups. The Nets, […]

Kemba Walker, Frank Ntilikina Both Available Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guards Kemba Walker (knee) and Frank Ntilikina (knee) are both available to play Tuesday against the New York Knicks.

Ntilikina will return from a one-game absence after being upgraded from […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Out For At Least Two More Weeks

Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (groin) will remain out for at least the next two weeks.

Tim Hardaway Jr. and Reggie Bullock have been working in the starting lineup and will […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Unavailable Against New York

Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (adductor) is out again for Tuesday's game versus the New York Knicks. With Maxi Kleber (hamstring) out indefinitely, Reggie Bullock and Davis Bertans will likely continue to receive additional work. However, neither man has done much from a statistical standpoint this season, so fantasy managers in deep formats should look […]

It's Christmas Day, and as is tradition, the NBA is treating us with one of their best lineup of games of the entire season.

Holiday greetings from the RotoBaller team. Hopefully, this time of the year finds your NBA fantasy team in the best shape or at least one player away from making a difference come playoff time.

Welcome to Rotation Watch, Rotoballers! Each week, this article will highlight the players gaining minutes in their team's rotation.

With the new […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Ruled Out Against Minnesota

Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (groin) won't play on Wednesday against Minnesota. The 29-year-old was injured in Monday's first game of back-to-back outings versus the Timberwolves, allowing Davis Bertans to finish with 18 points off 6-for-9 shooting from deep. While Bertans won't be starting, he should get enough minutes off the bench to warrant a […]

Dwight Powell Available Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks center Dwight Powell (thigh) is ready to return to action Wednesday versus Minnesota. He has been sidelined for the past two games with a left thigh contusion. Christian Wood has picked up a pair of starts in his absence and could now head back to the bench, although with Dorian Finney-Smith (groin) out, […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 12/21/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

The rest of the week showcases two monster slates before the Christmas games Sunday.

Dorian Finney-Smith Injured In Loss To Minnesota

Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (groin) was injured during Monday night's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Mavs were already entering this one without Tim Hardaway Jr. (illness), Dwight Powell (thigh) and Maxi Kleber (hamstring), so adding another player to the growing list wouldn't be ideal. The 29-year-old has started in all 30 of his […]

Luka Doncic Upgraded To Probable

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (quad) has been upgraded to probable for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The star guard was listed as questionable on Sunday, but has been upgraded since then. Doncic has been dealing with a lingering quad injury, but appears to be doing better now.

Luka Doncic Questionable On Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (quadriceps) is questionable for Monday's meeting with Minnesota. The 23-year-old didn't play in Saturday's loss to Cleveland because of a right quad strain, allowing Kemba Walker to log 42 minutes and finish with 32 points. If Doncic misses another one, Walker will probably get another crack at the starting lineup. […]
