NBA Bench Risers for Fantasy Basketball Week 4

NBA teams have a multitude of players coming off the bench, each with a unique role to fill. As a fantasy owner, you need to decide which of those players can contribute across multiple categories and have the potential to make the most of their time on the court. To find bench players that can contribute more than […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (11/15/16): NBA DFS Advice

It is another small slate tonight. With only five games set to take place, it'll be difficult to find value. Luckily, teams like the Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Toronto Raptors are playing. That should create for some interesting basketball.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (11/15/16): NBA DFS Advice

The season is still young so there are things that will eventually change. But for right now, it is a completely legitimate question on whether or not you should draft LeBron James or DeMar DeRozan. Despite DeRozan’s blistering start to the season, he’s still not putting up King James numbers, but the difference is Nate […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball line Picks (11/14/16): NBA DFS Advice

With eight games on the slate for tonight, there should be no reason why you can't find enough value to spend up on a few superstars. There is only one superstar I will be spending up on but we will get to James Harden later... These are my daily fantasy NBA lineup picks for FanDuel on […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Quality Game Streamers for Week 4

When you are trying to stream players to win your head-to-head fantasy basketball matchup, often when your streamer is playing matters as much as who he is. A player with games on Wednesday and Friday doesn't help when you've already got a full lineup worth of players playing on each of those days. However, a […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Weekend H2H Offensive Category Streamers (Week 3)

It's never too early to start streaming. Whether you have an opening due to an injury, you auction-drafted a crew of stars and scrubs, or you just didn't bother putting any effort into your last couple draft picks, you probably have a player or two on your team who isn't must-own. You're better off using […]

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (11/10/16): NBA DFS Advice

It is a very small four-game slate tonight on FanDuel. There are a couple of games to look forward to. For example, the Los Angeles Lakers and Sacramento Kings always put on a very high-scoring, fantasy-relevant game. The Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls should be fun as well with Dwyane Wade returning to Miami. These […]

Sleeper Alert: Three NBA Guards to Target Late

Basketball season is upon us. Stephen Curry will look to stay healthy, and lead a redemptive tour back to the top. Kyrie Irving plans to ride his magical finals performance into the regular season while it has gotten pretty lonely in Oklahoma City for Russell Westbrook. What do all these names have in common? They're […]

Hello and welcome to another week of perpetual requirement as a Fantasy Basketball Manager. If you have questions this week regarding the forward position and who could possibly fill it, hopefully I'm about to present you with three rock-solid answers for the coming weeks. Position Eligibility & Ownership Rate Based on Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Player […]

Josh Richardson (SG/SF, MIA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Yet another rookie from this awesome draft class has started looking like a keeper -- this time it's Josh Richardson, a second-rounder out of Tennessee. He's been great for the Miami Heat at a time where the team is really thin on […]

NBA Forwards: Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

It's another week of questions at the forward position--and hopefully another week of three more potential answers on the waiver wire. This week, I bring to the forefront three sleepers on the power end of the forward position who have brought their respective games to a level high enough in the past couple of weeks […]

Justise Winslow (SF/PF, MIA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Justise Winslow is one of the most talented, young two-way players in the game, but has yet to garner a major role on offense with the Miami Heat. He is averaging 5.9 points and 5.1 rebounds in 28.0 minutes per game. Over […]

NBA Forwards: Week 16 (Post All-Star) Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

Hello and welcome to another group of forwards who are pleading to see the light of more rosters for Fantasy Basketball Managers. After the All-Star Break, these three players could capitalize in a big way for those willing to give them the opportunity to pickup where they left off before the break commenced. These players […]

Luol Deng (SF/PF, MIA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 56% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm seriously waiting for the announcement where the Heat add Gilbert Arenas, Baron Davis and Tracy McGrady to the roster. Luol Deng has been playing some good basketball lately and it's reminiscent of his days in Chicago. He has four consecutive […]

Amar'e Stoudemire (PF/C, MIA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Amar'e Stoudemire has been showing flashes of his former All-Star caliber self. He has three consecutive double-digit scoring outputs and two straight double-doubles. Make no mistake, the Stoudemire from the Phoenix Suns isn't coming back. While Hassan Whiteside gets healthy though, it's […]

Chris Bosh (PF, MIA) - Strong FanDuel Play on 1/31/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at ATL, $7,700 ANALYSIS: Most of the other options at this position have some questions, and Bosh is not without his. Primarily will Hassan Whiteside play? Of course that is also a Whiteside question, but if the giant center does miss his fifth straight game, then Bosh becomes the primary interior threat for the […]

Dwyane Wade (SG, MIA) - Reliable FanDuel Play on 1/31/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ATL, $7,800 ANALYSIS: Turn back the clock! Flash has indeed shown flashes of dominance that he displayed in the pre-LeBron years. The 34-year-old All Star is averaging 43.2 FanDuel points per game over his last four, playing no less than 32 minutes during that span. With the less than inspiring play being displayed […]

Justise Winslow (SF/PF, MIA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Justise has been served lately as Justise Winslow has played over 35 minutes in each of the last four games. The perfect way to describe his fantasy value is "jack of all trades, master of none." While Winslow won't blow you […]

Tyler Johnson (SG, MIA) - Risk/Reward FanDuel Play on 1/25/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at CHI, $4,200 ANALYSIS: The Miami Heat are dealing with a ton of injuries right now. Hassan Whiteside has been banged up. Dwyane Wade has been questionable to play for a couple of games now. Goran Dragic, Beno Udrih, and a ton of other players are banged up. That has led to Tyler Johnson […]

Hassan Whiteside (C, MIA) - FanDuel Upside Play on 1/17/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at OKC, $7,800 ANALYSIS: It is important to note that should Dwight Howard go, he is absolutely the number one play on the board because he is playing the Lakers. That being said, I do not expect Howard to suit up- because let’s face it, he’s still Dwight Howard- so Whiteside will be the […]

Goran Dragic (PG, MIA) - DraftKings Value Play for 1/3/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs at WAS, $5,800 ANALYSIS: Dragic draws John Wall on Sunday, who has posted eight straight double-doubles. Wall should be the obvious choice here but Dragic plays for a good Heat team, now up for the challenge against one of the league's best point guards, and is about $4,000 cheaper. Dragic won't put up […]

Hassan Whiteside (C, MIA) - Risk/Reward DraftKings Play on 12/26

MATCHUP/VALUE: at ORL, $7,200 ANALYSIS: This pick comes with a bit of risk because of the way Whiteside acted on Christmas. He was extremely upset about being benched at the end of the game to say the least, and his actions resulted in his benching in overtime, as well. Earlier in the season, the Heat […]

Luol Deng (SF, MIA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 58% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: After being forced out of action for a few games due to a bad hammy, Luol Deng has been solid since his return two weeks ago. If you've read my other pieces, you know I'm a total sucker for players who can […]

NBA Forwards: Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

Hello again and welcome to another week of waiver wire decisions and another group of three forwards (one you've seen before from me) who can add a spark to the middle of your lineup. Hopefully these players reach the rosters of Fantasy Basketball Managers in time for them to have a Happy Holidays and cash […]

Tyler Johnson (PG/SG, MIA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues, Monitor in Others OWNED IN: 6% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues ANALYSIS: Tyler Johnson has seen an increased role since the departure of Mario Chalmers, and he has impressed as a scorer. He can score from all over the floor at a high percentage, and has shown the ability […]

Henry Walker (SG/SF, MIA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in deeper leagues; monitor in all leagues OWNED: 1% in Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball leagues ANALYSIS: The artist formerly known as Bill Walker has reemerged in Miami now that Chris Bosh will miss the rest of the season with blood clot complications. Henry Walker, who has spent the last two seasons toiling in basketball wastelands, has […]

Hassan Whiteside (C, MIA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Consider in all leagues; add in all deeper leagues OWNED: 51% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues ANALYSIS: Who’s been responsible for Miami’s 3 wins in their last 5 games? Not Wade, not Bosh, it’s been the Hassan Whiteside show in Miami. Okay, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, Whiteside is by no means an all-star, […]
