Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers for NBA Week 9

The NBA season keeps chugging along, though it feels like injuries are starting to take a toll across the league. John Wall. Anthony Davis. Nikola Jokic.

Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (11/20/17): NBA DFS Advice For FanDuel, DraftKings

There are only two things that can make Monday's bearable. Unemployment and 11-game NBA slates.
