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 […]

Kyle Lowry Hoping To Return By End Of February

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (knee) hopes to return by the end of February. The 36-year-old missed the last six games heading into the All-Star break because of left knee soreness. However, things appear to be moving in the right direction, which is good news. In the meantime, Gabe Vincent should remain in the starting […]

Cody Zeller Nearing Deal With The Heat

According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the Heat are nearing an agreement with free-agent center Cody Zeller. The 2013 No. 4 overall pick has spent most of his career in Charlotte before most recently spending 27 games with Portland in 2021-22. He's averaged 8.5 points and 6.0 rebounds during his career and […]

Kevin Love Plans To Sign With Miami

According to ESPN senior NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski, free-agent forward Kevin Love will sign with the Miami Heat after clearing waivers. The 24-year-old, who recently reached a buyout agreement with the Cleveland Cavaliers, has averaged 17.2 points, 10.5 rebounds, and shot 37.2% from deep in his 15 seasons of service. Love was only used sporadically […]

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 […]

Duncan Robinson Will Play Wednesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Duncan Robinson (finger) is available to play Wednesday versus the Brooklyn Nets. Robinson has not played since going through surgery on his finger in early January. Robinson should slide right into a solid bench role with Kyle Lowry (knee), Tyler Herro (knee) and Victor Oladipo (ankle) all out. Max Strus may see […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 2/15/23 - Monkey Knife Fight

A modest 10-game slate Wednesday and since re-formatting this article, a few lines have already jumped with two surging over the 240-point mark (UTA @ MEM dropped back down to 239.5 since apparently, I write incredibly slow.) Regardless, Charlotte versus San Antonio and Memphis versus Utah will retain ridiculously high point-totals for good reason. At […]

Duncan Robinson May Make Return Wednesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Duncan Robinson (finger) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Brooklyn Nets. Robinson has not played since January 2nd after undergoing surgery on his finger, but has a chance to return to action now. The Heat are banged up heading into the All-Star break which would allow Robinson immediate minutes […]

Tyler Herro Will Sit Until All-Star Break

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (knee) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets and will have a chance to recover during the All-Star break. Herro did not travel with the team as he stays to get treatment and will miss his second straight game. The good news is the Heat do […]

Jimmy Butler Nearly Finishes With A Triple-Double

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler came very close to his first triple-double of the season on Monday when he had 24 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists in a 112-108 loss to Denver. He shot 8-for-18 from the field, including 1-for-2 from downtown, and had a 7-for-7 record at the foul line. In 32 minutes, […]

Tyler Herro Downgraded To Doubtful

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (knee) has been downgraded to doubtful for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He was originally listed as questionable, but has been downgraded due to a left knee contusion. It's a shame considering Herro has finally been healthy all month. Max Strus would be asked to help fill the void, […]

RIVAL Fantasy NBA Over/Under DFS Prop Picks: Monday, February 13, 2023

With so many names in favorable matchups Monday, you could easily take two or three of the top guys tonight, hit the over, and just wait for it to roll in. Nikola Jokic wins the matchup against Bam Adebayo. The Pelicans don’t have the interior defense to keep Shai-Gilgeous Alexander from getting to the rim […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/13/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We're teed up for a massive 11-game slate Monday night as the NBA re-takes the spotlight from the NFL following a small two-game slate on Super Sunday. We do have a couple of particularly large favorites, but the rest of the games project to be reasonably-to-very-competitive affairs if point spreads are any indication. Projected totals […]

Max Strus Likely To Play Versus Denver

Miami Heat guard Max Strus (shoulder) is listed as probable ahead of Monday's meeting with the Denver Nuggets. Nearly the entire Heat roster is on the injury report, although the team is likely playing it safe to avoid backlash from the league office. However, with Tyler Herro (knee) questionable, Strus could be in line for […]

Gabe Vincent Probable Again For Monday

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (ankle) is expected to suit up for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The 26-year-old is back again on the injury report because of right ankle inflammation. However, he's been dealing with the ailment for a few games now, but he's played through it. With Kyle Lowry (knee) still out, […]

Tyler Herro Dealing With A Knee Contusion

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (knee) is questionable for Monday's showdown with the Denver Nuggets. Herro has a knee contusion, although knee injuries are nothing new for the 23-year-old. However, with the All-Star break on the horizon, he may get the night off to rest. If that happens, Max Strus (shoulder), who had 12 points and […]

Bam Adebayo Expected To Suit Up Versus Denver

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee) is expected to play on Monday versus the visiting Denver Nuggets. The former Kentucky Wildcat is listed on the injury report because of knee soreness. However, fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned. Adebayo has been one rebound short of a double-double in three of his previous five appearances, although […]

Jimmy Butler Records Nice Line In Overtime Win

Miami Heat small forward Jimmy Butler led the Heat to their third straight win in an overtime game against the Orlando Magic on Saturday. The 33-year-old star recorded 22 points, seven rebounds, six assists, two steals and two blocks in 34 minutes while shooting 7-for-17 from the field. Tyler Herro and Gabe Vincent's efforts helped […]

Kyle Lowry To Sit Through All-Star Break

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (knee) is going to be sidelined until at least through the All-Star break. The 36-year-old has been dealing with a lingering knee issue, so the organization is going to shut him down. Lowry was struggling before the injury, so hopefully this time off will help him get back to where […]

Tyler Herro Torches The Rockets

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro led all scorers with 31 points and almost had a triple-double in Friday's 97-95 win over Houston. He also had a game-high eight assists and shared the best mark of the contest with nine rebounds. Herro hit half of his 10 three-pointers and shot 11-for-20 overall from the field. In […]

NBA Pick 'Em: Player Prop Picks for No House Advantage - Friday, February 10

We have a massive 11-game slate on tap Friday night, and with seven games sporting projected totals of 230 points or higher as of late Thursday night, there should be plenty of compelling individual performances forthcoming.

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/8/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We're set for a nine-game Wednesday night slate in the wake of LeBron James' momentous achievement Tuesday, yet tonight's array of contests could ultimately produce even more headlines. There's Kyrie Irving's debut in Dallas for a marquee matchup against the Clippers, but the early portion of the ledger may house the most compelling battle of […]

Kyle Lowry Out For The Next Three Games

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (knee) has been ruled out for the next three games and then will be evaluated again to see if he can return to the floor. The 36-year-old has been going through quite a terrible stretch over the last eight games where he's averaging just 7.1 points, 3.8 assists, 3.8 rebounds, […]

Max Strus (SF, MIA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: Just taking the quickest of glimpses at Max Strus' stat line will tell you all you need to know about him. Still in doubt?

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 17: Kenyon Martin Jr., Malik Monk, 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 […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/5/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We're back to the typical small weekend slate on Sunday, as there are four games on the main slate in the NBA tonight. Denver, New Orleans, and New York are all playing on the second leg of their back-to-back sets, and there are several high-salaried players listed as questionable, so we have a lot to […]

Royce O'Neale (SF, BKN) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: It is happening. Again. I'm writing this less than 12 hours from the moment Sams and Woj dropped the Kyrie Bomb: Irving wants a trade out of Brooklyn. Sheesh. That has little to do with Royce O'Neale, of course, and more with […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/4/23): NBA DFS Lineups

The NBA spoils us as this is the second consecutive Saturday where we've been treated to a full slate of NBA games. We'll take what we can get. However, Saturdays can be tricky with coaches deciding to rest key players, so keep your eyes peeled on the news and injury updates. We have a handful […]

Fantasy Basketball Buy, Sell, Hold: Andrew Wiggins and O.G. Anunoby

Trading in fantasy basketball can help you improve your team in the short, as well as in the long term. More than that, it's just plain fun. Negotiating with your mate, going back and forth with offers, and hopefully, reaching a mutually beneficial agreement in the end. It's not always easy to find the right […]

Gabe Vincent May Not Play Against The Bucks

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (ankle) is questionable ahead of Saturday's meeting with Milwaukee. Kyle Lowry (ankle) is out, so Vincent would take his spot in the lineup if he's available. The 26-year-old has played extremely well in his five starts this season, averaging 18.0 points and 2.2 steals, making him a must-start in all […]
