DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/7/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We have a much smaller slate than usual for a Monday this week, as only five games are on tap. There's also the potential for some lopsided results given the matchups, but there are still enough healthy players to give us plenty of viable options at each point on the salary scale. There's plenty to […]

Max Strus Tagged As Questionable For Monday

Miami Heat forward Max Strus (quad) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. He missed Saturday's game and could very well sit out another contest due to a right quad contusion. Tyler Herro (knee) and Gabe Vincent would be the two players that would benefit the most, assuming Strus sits out. […]

Jimmy Butler Could Sit Against Wizards

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (toe) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. He was tagged as questionable for Saturday's contest and ended up playing 29 minutes in that game. His absence would open up playing time for Tyler Herro (knee), Gabe Vincent, and possibly Max Strus (quad) as well. It's […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/6/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

Back-to-back five-game slates on the weekend in the NBA, and we have a very interesting one in store for tonight with Giannis and Luka at the top, a myriad of intriguing mid-to-high range plays, and scarce value. The Pelicans-Rockets and Bucks-Clippers affairs are profiling to be the top ones to target in our lineups as […]

Duncan Robinson (SG/SF, MIA): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 53% of leagues ANALYSIS: Five games. That's the count. That's the count of matches D-Rob hasn't started (while he played, I mean) for the Heat this season, and it only happened in a 10-day span in which he was coming off a week-long absence. Robinson is […]

P.J. Tucker (SF/PF, MIA): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: I don't even know how I landed on P.J. Tucker, but here we are now I guess... Tuck Tuck is most definitively a winning asset to have around in an NBA squad. Now, in a fantasy team? That's more of a question […]

P.J. Tucker Receives Green Light To Play Saturday

Miami Heat power forward P.J. Tucker (knee) has battled left knee irritation as of late, but he has been cleared to take his usual spot among the starting five for Saturday's game vs. Charlotte. Tucker has been on a scoring burst over his last five outings, averaging 13.8 PPG, all while shooting 54.5 percent from […]

Caleb Martin Receives Green Light For Saturday’s Game

Miami Heat small forward Caleb Martin (Achilles) has been cleared to suit up for Saturday's contest vs. the Hornets after a one-game absence due to a sore left Achilles. Martin's return comes as Max Strus (quad) will be unavailable, paving the way for the wing to likely see a handful of additional minutes off the […]

Max Strus Will Miss Saturday’s Contest

Miami Heat shooting guard/small forward Max Strus (quad) has been ruled out for Saturday's game vs. the Hornets due to a right quad contusion. Strus has emerged as one of the league's premier marksmen over the past month, having knocked down an average of 3.3 triples per contest, all while shooting at a 41.9% clip […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/5/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We have a typically-small five-game Saturday slate on tap tonight, and it's not going to be the easiest night to dissect as value appears to be slim outside of OKC. The top two games to target look to be the Bucks-Blazers and Heat-Hornets as those matchups hold high totals and weak defense on the Blazers […]

Jimmy Butler Expected To Suit Up Against Hornets

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (toe) is expected to suit up versus the Hornets. The 32-year-old continues to deal with irritation in the big toe on his left foot. However, Butler managed to log a combined 65 minutes over his previous two games, so it doesn't appear too serious, at least at the moment. Nonetheless, […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (2/4/22)

Happy Friday, RotoBallers! Friday nights usually bring excellent NBA slates and tonight is no exception as we have nine games tonight including a late-night national TV game with the Sixers facing the Mavericks in Dallas on ESPN. Wednesday was a frustrating night for me. Denver ended up sitting most of their regulars and I had […]

Kyle Lowry Will Return On Thursday

Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry (personal) will make his return against the Spurs on Thursday night. Lowry has missed nine consecutive games due to a personal matter, and the timing of the return comes at a much needed time as the Heat have lost three games in a row but remain second in the […]

Jimmy Butler Expected To Play On Thursday

Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler (toe) is expected to play against the Spurs on Thursday night. Butler missed Monday's contest against the Celtics, but he returned to the lineup for the second half of the back-to-back in Tuesday's loss to the Raptors. When healthy, Butler has provided early-round fantasy value with elite defensive stats and […]

P.J. Tucker In Danger Of Missing Another Game

Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (knee) may miss Thursday's contest in San Antonio. The veteran continues to deal with left knee irritation, and with Jimmy Butler (toe), Kyle Lowry (personal), and Caleb Martin (Achilles) questionable, the timing couldn't be any worse. Nonetheless, there is a lot of uncertainty entering this one. However, if Butler or […]

Caleb Martin Questionable Against The Spurs

Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (Achilles) has been deemed questionable ahead of Thursday's matchup in San Antonio. The 26-year-old is currently dealing with Left Achilles soreness, which is unfortunate considering Jimmy Butler (toe) may not play. P.J. Tucker (knee) and Kyle Lowry (personal) also carry a questionable designation, so Martin could see a bump in […]

Kyle Lowry Back With The Team, Questionable Against The Spurs

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (personal) is questionable for Thursday's meeting against the Spurs. The veteran has missed his previous nine games. However, he has joined the team in San Antonio while being upgraded on the injury report, so it appears as if he is inching closer to a return. Nonetheless, fantasy managers should continue […]

Jimmy Butler Listed As Questionable For Thursday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (toe) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He was able to play 40 minutes on Tuesday and didn't seem to have any issues. Fantasy managers are hopeful Butler is able to play, but you never know with him. Tyler Herro, Max Strus, and Gabe […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (2/2/22)

Monday's slate got funky real fast and I had to void two of my three picks as I had zero confidence in the Cavs covering once they announced Darius Garland was going to be out and they barely eked out a win. Then Miami also ruled out Jimmy Butler so I lost them as live […]

Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 16: Hassan Whiteside, Luke Kennard, Bismack Biyombo, Chuma Okeke

If you're one of those fantasy basketball players that sets a lineup at the beginning of the week, checks out, and then comes back seven days later to see how things shook out, this post is not for you. This is for those who are grinding through each day and keeping track of categories as […]

Kyle Lowry Will Miss Ninth Straight Game Tuesday

Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry (personal) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest vs. the Raptors due to a personal matter, marking his ninth consecutive absence. Jimmy Butler is likely to take on elevated ball-handling duties once again without Lowry in the mix, while Gabe Vincent, Max Strus, and Tyler Herro are all in […]

Jimmy Butler Receives Green Light To Play Tuesday

Miami Heat small forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) has been cleared to return for Tuesday's game against Toronto, stemming his absence at one game due to an ankle ailment. Butler will be looking to build off a season-high-tying 37-point effort from his last outing, a triple-double performance vs. the Raptors on Saturday. With Kyle Lowry (personal) […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (1/31/22)

Friday's NBA slate was very much a mixed bag for me. While I did pretty well in DFS, the two bets I recommend in this column both missed, and a few others I liked (but not quite as much) hit. That's why I always supply my model as well and try to highlight a few […]

NBA Waiver Wire Streamers for Fantasy Basketball Week 16 (Jan 31 - Feb 6)

We're nearly at the finish line, and most of us are scrambling to try and get the best possible position for the playoffs (or just to make them at all). This means there's little to no room for error. The same applies to our players, especially those end-of-the-bench guys who you can afford to drop […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 16 - Bismack Biyombo, Luke Kennard, Otto Porter Jr., Davion Mitchell

Welcome back to the waiver wire! Need to bolster your flailing team? We've got you covered. Maybe. We'll see. These recommendations are mainly for 9-cat leagues, but if you play in another format, there's a good chance that the information here can still help you. We'll be looking at centers, forwards, and guards whose low rostership […]

Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 16: Brandon Clarke, Willy Hernangomez, Gabe Vincent, Onyeka Okongwu

If your league is doing it right, you probably only have like a month of fantasy regular season left. Time to get out there and win those categories that have been giving you a pain all season! If you're a serious fantasy player, you are aware of your weaknesses by now. These guys will help. […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 16: Garrison Mathews, Corey Joseph, Reggie Bullock, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Austin Rivers

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 […]

Jimmy Butler Uncertain For Monday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. It sounds like Butler suffered an ankle injury while playing 52 minutes during the triple-overtime loss on Saturday. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Raptors give Butler the night off for rest purposes. Caleb Martin and Max […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/30/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

Just a five-game slate on tap tonight as there are three matinee contests in the NBA as well as the almighty NFL Championship Round games kicking off at 2:00 pm CT. It's a bit of an odd slate as three of the games (Jazz-Wolves, Nuggets-Bucks, Spurs-Suns) are miles ahead of the other two (Cavaliers-Pistons, Mavericks-Magic) […]

Caleb Martin (SG/SF, MIA): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: Can't lie about Caleb Martin's situation in Miami after Jimmy Butler came back a couple of weeks ago. Martin was sent to the pine the minute Jimmer was back, yes, and that lowered his appeal and his upside a bit, yes, but […]
