Fantasy Basketball Deep League Adds: Week 6

The deeper a fantasy 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 help […]

Fantasy Basketball 9-Cat Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6

Another week of NBA action is upon us. Did y'all see the Cleveland Cavaliers win back-to-back games against Brooklyn this week? Is Cleveland...a playoff team? Is it too early for me to be suggesting that? Will they still trade Andre Drummond at some point to open up more minutes for Jarrett Allen? We'll see, I […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for Monday (1/25/21) - Monkey Knife Fight

There are 10 games on Monday's slate, and with so many repeats of games, try not to get sucked into the blackhole that is past performances.

Wayne Ellington (SG/SF, LAC): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: So, uhh, Wayne Ellington has been moving a moment. On January 15th, the Pistons/Wizards game was postponed. In five games since then, Ellington hasn't played under 26 minutes in a game and hasn't made fewer than three three-pointers in any contest. And while […]

Marcus Morris Sr. (PF/C, LAC): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: While he's calmed down in terms of scoring some over the past couple of games, Clippers forward/center Marcus Morris Sr. is still a strong fantasy addition right now because of his high upside. Just this past week, Morris had a pair of games […]

Royce O'Neal (SF/PF, UTA): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of leagues ANALYSIS: Utah Jazz forward Royce O'Neale hasn't had the most consistent season, but his high minutes per game and role as a starter for the Jazz makes him an ideal pickup in deeper fantasy basketball leagues. O'Neale's not going to consistently give fantasy managers […]

Alex Caruso (PG/SG, LAL): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Alex Caruso isn't someone you need to be going out and grabbing immediately, but he has some situational value in deeper leagues, and sometimes that's enough. Coming into Saturday's contest with the Bulls, Caruso had made six three-pointers over the past four games, […]

Bam Adebayo Drops Career-High 41 Points In Defeat

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo was nearly unguardable during Saturday's loss to the Nets, racking up a career-high 41 points on 14-for-20 shooting. With Miami still decimated by injuries and the league's health and safety protocols, Adebayo capitalized on Brooklyn's limited size on the interior, while adding nine assists and five rebounds for the best […]

Kendrick Nunn Scores Team-High 22 Points In Loss

Miami Heat guard Kendrick Nunn finished with a team-high 22 points in Friday's 101-81 loss against the Raptors. The 25-year-old was the only player able to get it going in the defeat, while scoring 20-plus points in consecutive games for the first time this season. Nunn has received consistent minutes in the thirties as of […]

Garrett Temple (PG/SG, CHI): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: While veteran Garrett Temple logged his second start of the season last Monday, that was all thanks to Patrick Williams opening him the door while being off the squad. The rook came back on Friday, and that threw Temple back to the bench. […]

Kendrick Nunn (PG/SG, MIA): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: If you remember anything about last season, it must be that the Lakers faced the Heat in the Bubble-Finals. That's cool, but what matters most here is that you should remember what--or rather, who--took Miami to a position where they could ultimately contend […]

Fantasy Basketball Buy, Sell, or Hold: Jerami Grant and Devin Booker

Many experienced fantasy GMs try to use current good forms of their players to try and make a trade happen that will benefit them in the long run. The hotness of your player can appear too appealing to your rivals, and if you don't think he will be able to keep it up, you would […]

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Streamers for Week 5

The honeymoon period is over, as many teams have played 20% of the season. You should have a good sense of what your squad is or is not, and begin to formulate plans to deal with it. COVID continues to ravage the NBA schedule. There are some teams who have played only 12 games so […]

Tyler Herro Out The Next Three Games

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (neck) will not play Friday against the Toronto Raptors and will miss the rest of the team's road trip. Herro has been sidelined for almost a week with neck spasms and seems like the injury is more serious than originally thought. With Herro out, Gabe Vincent will most likely get […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/22/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

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

There were supposed to be 13 games Friday, but both the Memphis-Portland and Washington-Milwaukee contests have been cancelled. The Grizzlies next few games are going to be postponed as well, so some teams are going to benefit from the, hopefully healthy, rest. Over the past few weeks, Nikola Jokic has been the dominant force in […]

Tyler Herro Could Return On Friday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (neck) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He has missed each of the last three games due to neck spasms. Herro was able to go through practice on Thursday without any issues, so hopefully he can play on Friday. Otherwise, Goran Dragic would continue seeing […]

Bam Adebayo Notches Another Double-Double

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo compiled his fifth double-double of the year during Wednesday's win over the Raptors. While it was a bit of an empty line- no steals or blocks- Adebayo did have seven assists. His 14-13-7 line is almost like his floor, which speaks volumes as to just how talented he is. Adebayo […]

Kendrick Nunn Scores Season-High 28 Points

Miami Heat guard Kendrick Nunn stepped up for the second straight game in Wednesday's win over the Raptors. Nunn scored a season-high 28 points on 9 of 12 shooting from the field, adding eight boards, five assists, and four triples in 35 minutes. The second-year pro technically came off the bench but played starter minutes […]

Tyler Herro Remains Out Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (neck) will not play Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors. Herro will miss his second straight game with neck spasms after not playing the second half of Saturday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. The Heat are starting a four-game road trip and Herro is still with the team which bodes well […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for Wednesday (1/20/21) - Monkey Knife Fight

Tuesday was very underwhelming with just two games total, but both remained, somewhat-close and Wednesday rebounds with ten confirmed games, three starting at 6PM EST.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/19/21): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Tuesday, Rotoballers! After an NBA-jammed-packed schedule on Monday with nine games, the league slows down to a two-game slate tonight.
