Right on Time: Ground-Floor Gems Worthy of Investment in Fantasy Basketball

As Potential Turns to Promise: Get in on the Ground Floor With every NBA season comes a cast of perennial All-Stars and wave-making rookies, but in a grey area outside of these two groups lies a set of high-potential players in the developmental stage, getting minimal minutes in NBA garbage time or bouncing back and […]

Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 9

We have four games today in the NBA and then a really solid 10-7-7 breakdown of games from Friday to Saturday that should allow optimal streaming for those who are willing to take the time to find the right players! I'm back to help you do that today with the latest installment of my mid-week […]

Austin Rivers To Start On Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Austin Rivers will get the starting nod for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Wolves are without both D'Angelo Russell (knee) and Jordan McLaughlin (calf) for Wednesday's game. That means, Rivers will be asked to start with Jaylen Nowell playing increased minutes off the bench. Both players are worth streaming […]

D'Angelo Russell Not Available On Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This is bad timing with the Wolves already without Jordan McLaughlin (calf) for this game. That means, Austin Rivers and Jaylen Nowell will be asked to step up and play significant minutes. Both could be possible streaming […]

D'Angelo Russell Questionable For Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard D'Angelo Russell (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Clippers. He hurt his left knee in Monday's loss to Portland and might now be forced to sit out his first game of the season. Russell has been on a nice run lately, averaging 26.4 points per game across his last […]

Rudy Gobert Grabs 20 Boards Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert ate glass all night against Portland on Monday, finishing a 133-112 loss with 20 rebounds. It's his fourth game of the season with 20-plus boards. Gobert added 16 points on 8-for-13 shooting and also registered two assists and one steal with one turnover in 32 minutes. The French giant has […]

Jordan McLaughlin Doubtful For Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin (calf) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He suffered a left calf strain on Friday, which is the second time he has suffered that injury in two weeks. That being said, McLaughlin could very well miss some time while he gets back to 100 […]

Jaylen Nowell (SG, MIN) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 6% of leagues ANALYSIS: If this was, say, Anthony Edwards we were discussing, then it might be seen as a risky bet. With it being Jaylen Nowell and the youngster being available in nearly 95% of all ESPN leagues, not so much. I say that because […]

Fantasy Basketball Buy, Sell, Hold: De'Aaron Fox and D'Angelo Russell

Trading in fantasy basketball can help you improve your team in the short as well as 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 deal that […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/12/22): NBA DFS Lineups

We're set for a solid seven-game slate Monday night, one that many might consider an ideal size for the purposes of building tournament lineups in particular.

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 9: Shake Milton, Jose Alvarado, Moritz Wagner

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 […]

Early-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 9

I thought last week's schedule was solid, but this week, we have probably the most balanced schedule that we have seen this year with no more than 10 games (10 on Wednesday) on any day this week and a really strong middle of the week with five games on Tuesday and four on Thursday. That […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/10/22): NBA DFS Lineups

It's a glorious Saturday and the NBA has treated us with seven games for the main slate tonight.

Half of the teams in action are playing in the […]

D'Angelo Russell Pushes T-Wolves Past Utah

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard D'Angelo Russell had a fierce finish in Friday's 118-108 triumph over Utah, scoring 20 of his game-high 30 points in the fourth quarter. He was 6-for-9 with the three-ball and shot 12-for-16 overall in 36 minutes of action. Russell delivered two assists with three turnovers and had three rebounds and one […]

Taurean Prince A Week Away From Returning

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Taurean Prince (shoulder) will sit out a seventh consecutive game Friday against Utah, and the team doesn't expect him to return for at least a week. The 28-year-old is having problems with his right shoulder, and his absence has been quite a blow for the team during a time in which Karl-Anthony […]

Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 8

We have three games in the association today, which creates an ideal opportunity for streamers if you want to get a leg up on your competition heading into the weekend. Most leagues limit how many adds you can make each week in daily leagues. If your league only allows three moves per week, you need […]

Matt Ryan Joins Timberwolves On Two-Way Deal

Small forward Matt Ryan signed a two-way contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday, giving the team another depth option on the wing moving forward. Ryan made something of a name for himself in limited minutes earlier this year while with the Lakers, although he did not see consistent enough playing time (10.8 minutes per […]

Jordan McLaughlin Available On Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin (calf) is available for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 26-year-old is back in the rotation after missing the last six games due to a left calf strain. His return will mean less playing time for Austin Rivers and Jaylen Nowell. However, neither player was much of a […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/3/22): NBA DFS Lineups

Four games are on tap in the NBA tonight and for what has to be the first time since the pandemic began, the injury report is almost empty.

Jaden McDaniels On Track To Return Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (illness) appears ready to return to the lineup Saturday against the Thunder, with the team having removed him from the injury report. The 22-year-old has been sidelined for three games with an illness. He will be making his return at a vital time, as the team has just lost Karl-Anthony […]
