Davis Bertans Remains On The Shelf Friday
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Davis Bertans (knee) has been ruled out for another game ahead of Friday's clash with Toronto. He has yet to play this season because of right knee effusion. Once regarded as one of the league's best snipers, Bertans has gone through a couple of bad seasons and it looks like 2022-23 won't […]
Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 3
It's a lighter week in the NBA this week, with a whole bunch of teams only playing two games this week. So maximizing your daily games has been more important than ever. There are only two games tonight and no teams play any back-to-backs this week, so we are looking for anyone who can give […]
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 11/2/22 - Monkey Knife Fight
For anyone looking to bet on the 76ers and Wizards tonight, remember that the game starts an hour earlier than normal with the rest of the slate continuing at 6:30 and proceeding as any other night. While projections pre-determine that Philadelphia will be hosting the lowest scoring game of the night, that puts both Knicks-Hawks […]
Christian Wood Considered Questionable Against Jazz
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Christian Wood (illness) has officially been listed as questionable for Wednesday's home game with a non-COVID illness. If he does miss the contest, it would be the 27-year-old's first missed game of the season so far. This comes as promising news since fantasy managers have had to endure some injury-riddled seasons lately. […]
Luka Doncic Collects Another 40-Point Game
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic dropped his second 40-point game of the season against the Orlando Magic on Sunday night. During the team's third win of the season, the potential MVP candidate registered 44 points, three rebounds, five assists, and one steal on 17-for-26 shooting. He's already leading the league in scoring at 35.2 points […]
DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/30/22): NBA DFS Lineups
It's a fine Sunday and we have a solid seven-game slate on tap in the NBA tonight. The Timberwolves-Spurs matchup has the highest implied total and rates out the best in my model, but as you can see in the 'Team Rankings,' the Suns and Warriors both rank ahead of those two squads for daily […]
Luka Doncic Grabs His Second Consecutive Triple-Double
Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic picked up his second consecutive triple-double with a 31-16-10 line in Saturday's 117-111 overtime loss to the Thunder. He put together very good numbers but did it in a very inefficient way, shooting only 8-for-23 from the field with no three-pointers made with six efforts. Doncic was 15-for-19 at […]

Luka Doncic Registers Monster Triple-Double In Brooklyn
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic had a monster game in an overtime win over the Brooklyn Nets. The 23-year-old superstar finished with 41 points, 11 rebounds, 14 assists, and three steals while shooting 14-for-28 from the floor. Doncic has been putting up video game-like numbers to start the season. He hasn't even scored less than […]
Tim Hardaway Jr. Will Play Against Brooklyn
Dallas Mavericks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. (foot) is officially active for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. After a one-game absence, he'll make his return to help out the offense alongside Luka Doncic. The 30-year-old hasn't shot the ball particularly well so far. If there's anyone to get back on track against, it would be […]
Tim Hardaway Jr. Questionable For Thursday
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (foot) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against Brooklyn. He's dealing with right foot soreness and already missed Tuesday's loss to New Orleans. Spencer Dinwiddie picked up a bunch of extra minutes against the Pelicans and should do the same on Thursday if Hardaway Jr. remains sidelined. The former Net […]

Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 2
We are officially through one full week of games and already the number of injuries and players resting is mounting.

Most leagues, however, limit how many player adds you can make […]

Luka Doncic Returns From Ankle Injury To Score 37 Points
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic's 37 points were not enough as they fell to the New Orleans Pelicans Tuesday night. Doncic limped off the court into the locker room towards the end of the first half, but was not hobbled by the injury as he returned to also contribute 11 rebounds, seven assists, two steals […]
Tim Hardaway Jr. Ruled Out Against New Orleans
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (foot) will not play Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Hardaway was doubtful coming into the night so this should not come as a big surprise. Hardaway missed a large amount of games last season due to a foot injury, but thankfully this is not the same foot. Reggie […]
Tim Hardaway Jr. Tagged As Doubtful For Tuesday
Dallas Mavericks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. (foot) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday night against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Luka Doncic Drops Game-High 35 Points
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic didn't waste any time in the scoring department this season. In their opening loss to the Phoenix Suns, Doncic dropped 35 points, nine rebounds, six assists and one steal on 10-for-23 shooting. This kind of scoring is something we've already come to expect out of the 23-year-old superstar. He's going […]
Maxi Kleber Available For Season Opener
Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (illness) will be available for Wednesday's season opener against the Phoenix Suns. The 30-year-old is dealing with a minor illness, but it won't be enough to hold him out of this contest. He recently signed a three-year $33 million extension with the organization. The expectation is that Kleber is going […]
Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (10/19/22)
Last night, the NBA returned in a big way as the Celtics pulled out a high-scoring win over the Sixers and the defending champion Warriors dominated the Lakers. I was on the Sixers, so a bit disappointed that they couldn't slow down the Celtics at all in the second half. But the Warriors winning big […]

Thunder Dan's 2022-23 Fantasy Basketball Rankings and Draft Analysis
I am quite possibly more excited for this NBA season than I have been for any previous season since I was a kid. I grew up watching the golden age of the NBA in the '80s and '90s and have been an NBA fan ever since. But this season is hopefully going to be like […]

RotoBaller Fantasy Basketball Writers League Draft Recap
On Wednesday night, the RotoBaller writers got together for our annual fantasy basketball draft. In the past, we did a 14-team league, but this year we cut it down to a more "normal" size with a 12-team league. Now that the draft is over, I thought it would be a good idea to go over […]
Five Fantasy Basketball Bounce-Back Players For 2022-23
Progression isn't always linear. While we like to think that athletes get better until a certain age and then get worse after that age, it doesn't always work that way. Sometimes, a player has a good year, then regresses a little the next year, and then bounces back after that. When it comes to fantasy […]
