Tyler Herro Questionable For Monday's Contest

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ankle) is questionable for Monday's meeting with Portland. He is troubled by a left ankle sprain and could miss his first game of the season. The 22-year-old sharpshooter suffered an eye injury in last Tuesday's win over Golden State and had to exit early, but Herro has had no trouble […]

Early-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 4

Week 4 of the fantasy basketball season kicks off with a monster 15-game slate tonight in which every NBA team is in action. We rarely see this happen, but then we get a dead day tomorrow where there are no games as a result. Most of the league is back in action on Wednesday and […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 4

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 […]

Kevin Love (PF, CLE) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: Kevin Love might not be Kevin Love anymore, but he still is way more than an impactless-glue-guy a la Udonis Haslem in Miami. Love is the only remnant of Cleveland from the LBJ days of yore, pretty much like Chris Bosh was in […]

Happy Friday, RotoBallers! The NBA season is finally here, and we have a whopping 12 games slotted for this evening.

My model will take time to adjust to these changes, but it's my […]

Bam Adebayo Questionable For Game Against Indiana

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee) is now listed as questionable for the team's game on Friday night. He was able to play 32 minutes in a win versus the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday, but it appears he picked up an injury along the way. The team is already going to be missing Jimmy Butler […]

Jimmy Butler Out Again On Friday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (hip) has been tagged to miss his second consecutive game due to his hip tightness. The injury report is growing as the Heat are listing four different players out against the Indiana Pacers. If any fantasy managers are looking for a streamer, Max Strus would be the way to go […]

Fantasy Basketball Starting Lineup Changes - Week 2

Welcome to Rotation Watch, Rotoballers! Each week, this article will highlight the players gaining minutes in their team's rotation. Fantasy managers want to roster the players that accumulate stats and rack up the playing time. They want to avoid the players falling out of favor and watching the action from the sidelines. With the new […]

Jimmy Butler Won't Suit Up On Wednesday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (hip) will be held out of Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This will be the first missed game for the veteran this season. He's been averaging 35.5 minutes per game which is the most he's played since his days in Minnesota. Max Strus, Duncan Robinson, and Nikola Jovic will […]

Tyler Herro Ruled Out For The Rest Of The Game Tuesday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (eye) has been ruled out for the rest of Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Herro took a shot to the head in the first quarter and has been ruled out with an eye injury. Max Strus started the second half and would see an immediate uptick in minutes […]

Early-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 3

We head into Week 3 of the NBA season already on Halloween Night and I am still not quite used to the season starting this early. I remember not all that long ago that Halloween was around the time that the regular season started but it keeps creeping back into October further and further. Hopefully, […]

Max Strus (SG/SF, MIA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: Nobody in the NBA has played more minutes than Max Strus through Saturday while starting fewer than six games. Strus has logged 217 MP already in his seven games (just one start) and the closest player to that tally on one-or-no starts is […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 3: Bol Bol, Max Strus, Jaylen Nowell

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 […]

Bam Adebayo Has Big Night Versus Golden State

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo had his best game of the season so far. The 25-year-old cashed in 26 points, eight rebounds, one assist, four steals, and three blocks while shooting 76.9% from the floor. His scoring has been an up-and-down trend so far, but the rebounding and defensive numbers continue to flow. He'll be […]

Jimmy Butler Stuffs The Stat Sheet On Thursday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler did a lot of everything in the team's 110-123 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night. He collected an impressive six steals to go along with 27 points, six rebounds, and eight assists. On top of that, he shot an efficient 8-for-13 from the floor and 4-for-7 from […]

Dewayne Dedmon Downgraded To Out Thursday

Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon (foot) will sit out Thursday's contest against the Golden State Warriors due to plantar fasciitis. Dedmon was questionable to play but came down to a true game-time decision and was ruled out minutes before tip-off. Dedmon is averaging less than 10 minutes per game this season, so there should not […]

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. That provides opportunities for lightly rostered players to provide daily value if we are willing to leave a roster spot open and stream players! Most leagues, however, limit how many player adds you can make […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/27/22): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! We have a little larger of a Thursday slate this week with four games going on. We have the Warriors, Mavs, Nets, and Clippers on the slate, so it's a star-studded one!

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/26/22): NBA DFS Lineups

We're set for a typically robust 10-game Wednesday night slate, one that gives us no shortage of appealing options across the salary cap. There are some key injuries sprinkled throughout the ledger as well, but with 20 teams in action, we still should have no trouble differentiating for tournaments and finding reliable options for cash […]

Victor Oladipo Not Traveling With The Team

Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo (knee) is not traveling with the team to Portland, Golden State, or Sacramento. He'll be out these next three games, meaning he'll have sat out for the first seven games with his chronic knee condition. There isn't any word as to when he might return, either. For fantasy managers with […]

Early-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 2

In some of my very first fantasy basketball leagues, we used to call it "churning and burning" and it refers to the process of keeping one or more roster spots available to stream players throughout the week. Most leagues, however, limit how many player adds you can make each week in daily leagues. If your […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/24/22): NBA DFS Lineups

We begin the week with a solid eight-game slate Monday night that features an abundance of big names in action, including Kevin Durant, Jayson Tatum, and Ja Morant, to name but a few.

We made it to the weekend, RotoBallers! We're treated to a sizeable eight-game slate tonight and while none of the games truly stand out as "must-target" spots, we have three matchups that currently hold implied totals of at least 226.5 points - HOU/MIL, DET/IND, and OKC/DEN. Ten of the 16 teams in action tonight are […]

Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 1

We used to call it "churning and burning" and it refers to the process of keeping one or more roster spots available to stream players throughout the week. Most leagues, however, limit how many player adds you can make each week in daily leagues. If your league only allows three moves per week, you need […]

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 […]
