DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/29/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We have a modest six-game slate in the NBA tonight, and it's certainly not lacking for star power. Embiid, Doncic, Harden, Curry, Morant, Tatum, Sabonis, and Irving are the highlights at the top of the salary scale, so we're going to have our pick of the litter among the studs. Three of the six matchups […]

Jimmy Butler Expects To Play On Friday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (toe) will warm up with the intention to play on Friday, according to head coach Erik Spoelstra. Butler is coming off a strong game last time out, so hopefully he can continue that here against the Los Angeles Clippers. Fantasy managers can go ahead and move Butler into their starting […]

Happy Friday RotoBallers! As usual, we have a jam-packed Friday night slate, filled with some juicy matchups. These articles focus on the overall best plays, which are typically more suited for cash games. However, with larger slates like this one, you don't have to worry about ownership getting steamed up too hard usually, so consider […]

Tyler Herro Available Against Knicks

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro is available for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. He will return here after sitting out due to the league's health and safety protocols. His return will mean that Max Strus and Caleb Martin won't have as significant of roles. However, Strus could still have low-end streaming value even […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (1/26/22)

I will "take my L," as the kids say these days when they happen and last night was a big 'ole "L." My picks in this piece went 0-3 yesterday and I am kicking myself for not trusting my gut on a few of those picks. Instead of taking the Lakers -2.5 (who won easily […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/26/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

Wednesday’s 10-game slate is anchored by six inter-conference matchups, with eight teams playing on the second night of a back-to-back. Generally, it’s much easier to simply avoid teams that are playing multiple games over the span of just a few days, but ignoring context like that will likely only hurt your betting and ultimately your […]

Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 15: Eric Gordon, Bismack Biyombo, Cameron Johnson, Kevin Huerter

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 Remains Out On Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. Lowry will miss his fourth game in a row due to personal reasons.

Just a heads up that I'm writing this mostly before the games on Monday, so please confirm my information here before you click that "add" button real quick. That due diligence will save you from making a costly mistake. A couple of big Bulls injuries happened this week, which is unfortunate for this Bulls fan […]

We skipped yesterday's slate and I'm glad as it was just about the ugliest day of NBA I have seen in a while. So it's a special Tuesday edition of my NBA Best Bets today as we have a much more palatable group of games going off tonight. It's a 9-game slate tonight and I […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 15: Torrey Craig, Rodney McGruder, Day'Ron Sharpe, Caleb Martin

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 […]

Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 15: Justin Holiday, Nerlens Noel, Kevon Looney, Bismack Biyombo, Danilo Gallinari

I'm still pissed off about my Bulls losing to the Orlando Magic, but at least in fantasy Magic, I'm holding it down. I guess we all have to be good at something, right? Let's see how our top picks last week fared: Nicolas Claxton (FG%, N/A INJ), Danilo Gallinari  (FT%, 10th-round value), Coby White (PTS […]

P.J. Tucker Questionable Against The Lakers

Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (calf) is considered questionable for Sunday's matchup versus the Lakers. After only eight minutes of work, the veteran quickly exited Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks because of a left calf injury. With Tyler Herro out because of COVID-19 health and safety protocols and Kyle Lowry (personal) set to miss […]

Tyler Herro Remains Out Due To COVID-19 Protocols

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro remains out on Sunday versus the Lakers as he continues to navigate his way through COVID-19 health and safety protocols. It's unknown how much more time the 22-year-old will miss, and with Kyle Lowry (personal) in line to miss his fourth consecutive outing, Gabe Vincent and Duncan Robinson should benefit. […]

Kyle Lowry Out Again On Sunday

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (personal) won't play on Sunday versus the Lakers. The veteran will now miss his fourth consecutive game, opening the door for Gabe Vincent to see some extra opportunities. The 25-year-old is averaging 13.2 points and 32.9 minutes throughout 13 starts this season, and he will be matched up against a […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/23/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We have nine games over on the main slate tonight, highlighted by the monster implied totals and fast projected paces of the Hawks-Hornets and Nets-Timberwolves contests. The Sixers-Spurs, Jazz-Warriors, and Lakers-Heat games also have their share of fantasy appeal, while the Grizzlies-Mavericks game and the Magic and Pistons don't look to be attractive targets tonight. […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/21/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

An 11-game Friday rounds out what has been an extremely fun week of basketball.

With Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala already ruled out, the weight Stephen Curry […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (1/21/22)

Wednesday was a disappointing 1-3 day for me. While the Nets won, the Timberwolves crumbled in the third quarter after leading up until that point against Atlanta. Then Jimmy Butler got himself ejected from the Miami game, which really hurt Miami's chances of going over their total there. Even our parlay was ruined by the […]

Kyle Lowry Remains Unavailable For Friday’s Game

Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry (personal) has been ruled out for Friday's contest vs. Atlanta due personal reasons, marking his third consecutive absence. Gabe Vincent stands to continue serving as the team's primary point guard, although Jimmy Butler will have an elevated assists ceiling as well. Lowry has seen his numbers slightly slide during […]

Tyler Herro Lands In League’s COVID-19 Protocols

Miami Heat point/shooting guard Tyler Herro has been placed in the league's health and safety protocols, ruling him out indefinitely, beginning with Wednesday's game vs. Portland. Herro has thrived in his third professional season, emerging as one of the frontrunners for the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year Award while averaging 20.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (1/19/22)

We hit both our spread bets on Wednesday but missed yet another total. The totals have been so wonky lately that it's forced me to make some tweaks to my model to incorporate a rolling recent 10-game sample and hopefully that's going to help us get a better idea there. In the meantime, I will […]

Kyle Lowry Will Miss Wednesday’s Contest

Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game vs. Portland due to personal reasons. Lowry's absence is his second in a row, paving the way for Gabe Vincent to see increased run and Jimmy Butler to enjoy elevated assists upside. Lowry has been an assist dynamo in his own […]

Fantasy Basketball Injury Updates for Week 14 - Kevin Durant, Zach LaVine, Stephen Curry, Myles Turner, Tyrese Haliburton

Another week went by already? Man, time just keeps moving faster in fantasy basketball land. Most teams have played a bit over half of their games at this point and we're reaching a bit of a lull in the season where new guys are stepping up and some of the guys we considered fantasy gold […]

Duncan Robinson Moves Into Starting Lineup

Miami Heat guard Duncan Robinson will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Kyle Lowry (personal) will be unavailable for this contest, but hopefully it'll only be a one-game absence. His absence should mean more minutes for Robinson, Strus, and possibly Caleb Martin. Robinson is a shaky fantasy option due […]

Bam Adebayo Will Play Against Raptors

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (thumb) will make his return to the court on Monday versus the Toronto Raptors. He has been sidelined since November 29 due to a right thumb injury. It's uncertain if the Heat plan to ease Adebayo back into action. Regardless, fantasy managers in season long formats can go ahead and […]

Bam Adebayo Hopeful For Monday

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (thumb) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Adebayo has been targeting Monday as his return date after a lengthy absence.
