Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 7
With only one game tonight (Detroit vs. Dallas) there simply aren't many guys worth streaming just for today, but we do have 11 games on Friday night and a fairly even split of games on the weekend with 7 on Saturday and 8 on Sunday. Most leagues limit how many adds you can make each […]
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 11/30/22 - Monkey Knife Fight
Monkey Knife Fight only has eight of Wednesday’s thirteen games posted, but nearly all of tonight’s highest projected point totals are available, so we at least have options. Sacramento and Indiana harbor a ton of pace between both rotations and defense should be lacking throughout, making this an easy game to take overs across the […]
DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (11/30/22): NBA DFS Lineups
We're set for the biggest slate of the week Wednesday, as there are a massive 13 games on tap. As is usually the case with a player pool of this size, there are an abundance of options even with some big-name absences, and there are some star players in particularly appealing positional matchups that we […]
Anthony Edwards Notches 29 Points In Monday's Loss
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards had one of his best offensive games of the month Monday versus Washington, finishing a 142-127 loss with a team-high 29 points on 9-for-19 shooting. He made only one of his six attempts from deep, but Edwards was able to boost his scoring numbers by getting 10 points at the […]
Karl-Anthony Towns Suffers A Calf Strain
Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns suffered a right calf strain in Monday's loss to Washington. He left in the third quarter after posting eight points in 22 minutes with two rebounds and four assists. Towns will undergo further tests Tuesday, but there is optimism that he avoided a serious injury. However, he is still looking […]
Jaden McDaniels To Miss Monday's Game
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. The young forward sat out on Sunday as well due to a non-COVID related illness. His absence will result in more playing time for Kyle Anderson and Austin Rivers. Neither of them have much streaming appeal for this […]
DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (11/28/22): NBA DFS Lineups
We have a big 10-game slate on tap Monday night, which gives us an expansive player pool to work with. There should also be some very good DFS environments, as three contests have projected totals of greater than 230 points as of Monday morning. However, there are also three double-digit favorites, something to be mindful […]
Jaden McDaniels Ruled Out On Sunday
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Golden State Warriors. The 22-year-old is battling an undisclosed illness, so the Wolves are going to play it safe and rest McDaniels here. The expectation is that Austin Rivers and Kyle Anderson would see increased playing time with McDaniels sidelined. […]
Kelly Olynyk (C, UTA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 32% of leagues ANALYSIS: Danny Ainge fooled everybody this summer. Yes, he traded Rudy Gobert away from a good bunch of youngsters and draft picks. He doubled down on that moving from Donovan Mitchell and adding another handful of players and draft assets to the fold. […]
Jordan McLaughlin To Miss Third Straight Game On Sunday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin won't play on Sunday against the Warriors, marking his third consecutive absence because of a strained left calf. Austin Rivers has been getting some extra work with McLaughlin on the shelf. However, with Rivers averaging only 2.1 points this season, he's not expected to offer fantasy managers much production anytime […]
Anthony Edwards Scores 25 Points In Loss
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards has been hot from beyond the arc lately. In fact, Edwards has at least 10 3-point attempts in four of Minnesota's last five games. He continues to shoot triples at a high rate and it's working for him right now. On Friday, Edwards finished with 25 points, five rebounds, and […]
Rudy Gobert Will Suit Up Versus Charlotte
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ankle) will play on Friday in Charlotte. The defensive specialist had been questionable heading into this one due to a sprained ankle. However, it seemingly wasn't too severe, so he should see his usual workload. That said, the Hornets have allowed the most fantasy points per game to opposing centers […]
Jordan McLaughlin Out Again On Friday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin (calf) won't play on Friday against Charlotte, marking his second-straight absence. Austin Rivers received some extra work on Wednesday versus Indiana. However, Rivers only scored six points in 20 minutes, so he's not likely to provide any value on the fantasy end.
DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (11/25/22): NBA DFS Lineups
Happy Friday, RotoBallers! I hope you all had an excellent Thanksgiving filled with food, family, friends, and football.

Happy Thanksgiving, RotoBallers! I hope you have a great holiday weekend and get to enjoy some good food, friends, and family.

Taurean Prince Exits Wednesday's Game
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Taurean Prince (shoulder) won't return to Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The 28-year-old played 11 minutes before exiting due to right shoulder irritation. His absence won't make a big impact in the rotation with Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns healthy. Fellow big man Naz Reid is likely to see increased playing […]
Jordan McLaughlin Sidelined On Wednesday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin (calf) won't play on Wednesday against the Pacers due to a left calf strain. The update came from head coach Chris Finch, who may now lean on Austin Rivers or Bryn Forbes to replace McLaughlin from off the bench. However, neither man likely won't see enough action to justify adding […]
Kyle Anderson In Danger Of Missing Another Game
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (back) is regarded as questionable for Wednesday's outing against Indiana. He's dealing with back spasms and was already forced to miss Monday's meeting with the Heat. Anderson is a man of many talents, and he has carved out a solid role for himself at his new club, averaging over 22 […]
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 11/23/22 - Monkey Knife Fight
With no NBA tomorrow, a 12-game slate is the perfect send-off after last night’s small ensemble of games. Out of all 24 teams playing, only the Nets, Kings, 76ers, and Pistons are on the second night of a back-to-back. Currently, Sacramento are the NBA’s hottest team and despite playing a tough game versus Memphis yesterday, […]

Walker Kessler (C, UTA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of leagues ANALYSIS: Walker Kessler had a disappointing freshman year for the North Carolina Tar Heels, but the choice to transfer to Auburn served him greatly; and he finished his only season as a Tiger with 11.4 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.1 steals, and 4.6 blocks […]

This article […]
Early-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 6
Optimizing our streamers this week is a little tricky in that the league doesn't play on Thursday for Thanksgiving. That means most teams either play today (Monday) or Tuesday and then again on Wednesday and Friday. There are only a handful of games on Saturday and then more than usual on Sunday. I will get […]
Al Horford (C, BOS) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 44% of leagues ANALYSIS: Will Big Al ever run out of energy? I doubt it if you ask me. Horford, playing in his age-36 season and 16th as a pro and keeps starting games nightly going 13-for-13 this season after starting all of those in which […]
DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (11/19/22): NBA DFS Lineups
Welcome to the weekend, RotoBallers. We have a tricky little four-game slate on tap tonight in the NBA. The Magic-Pacers matchup projects as the top game to target for DFS, but the Jazz-Blazers affair looks targetable too and we have to get exposure to most teams on a four-gamer, anyway. There are a few significant […]
Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 5
It's Thursday and it's time to start planning a road map to a winning week in your H2H or Roto Fantasy Basketball leagues. A big thanks to John Brubaker who filled in on Monday for me with his early week streamers, but I am back today and hopefully won't have to miss too many more […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Has Strong Outing On Sunday
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Karl-Anthony Towns logged a big double-double on the way to a win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday. The veteran big man posted a season-high in points and tied a season-high in rebounds. He finished with 29 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block while shooting 11-for-16 overall and […]
D'Angelo Russell Posts A Double-Double In Win
Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell posted a very good outing to help his team beat the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday night. He registered 30 points, 12 assists, two rebounds, and one steal across 35 minutes of playing time. Throughout the game, he only missed two of his 13 shot attempts and he shot 4-for-5 from […]
Bol Bol (PF/C, ORL) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: I remember when Denver drafted Bol Bol with a late second-round pick. Actually, Miami did but instantly traded him to the Rockies so it's the Nuggets who actually bet on Bol. It looked like an absolute steal considering the giant had been […]
