After a particularly extended pre-All-Star-break portion of the season, the NBA is finally ready for its week-long pause to its 2021-22 campaign. Most teams have already begun their sabbatical, but there are still five games to play Thursday night. Despite the modest number of games, there are still plenty of big names in action and […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 2/16/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

There are only two days left until the All-Star break, but rarely will these massive slates mean low-quality basketball. The competition, if anything, has revved up in these last couple weeks and with multiple trades impacting teams in pivotal playoff seeding positions, the rest of the season is going to revolve around shifting team dynamics […]

Luguentz Dort Remains Out On Wednesday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. It's not surprising to see the Thunder holding out Dort until after the All-Star break. The Thunder don't have much incentive to rush Dort back to the court. However, fantasy managers should expect him to return […]

Fantasy Basketball Injury Updates for Week 18 - Pat Connaughton, Norman Powell, John Collins, Zach LaVine, Chris Duarte

Going to be knocking this out early on Monday yet again as there's another Bulls game tonight. Double-check the latest injury reports before you go full speed ahead on any adds. This should give you a quick, general idea though. The tradeline has come and gone, and there's been a ton of shifting in the […]

Luguentz Dort Not Available For Monday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. This is bad news for the Thunder who are without their top two scorers. Josh Giddey is in for a huge night and is looking like an excellent fantasy option for Monday's slate. Darius Bazley, Aaron […]

Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 18: Oshae Brissett, Brandon Clarke, Cameron Thomas, Ayo Dosunmu, Reggie Bullock

Quick and important note: Week 18 goes from February 14th through February 27th for most people, so that's what we'll be using. The all-star break means that we'll be without games for several days. Boo, but also we can all use a little break. All leagues should be gearing up for the playoffs in a […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 18: Danilo Gallinari, Dwight Powell, Kenrich Williams, Rajon Rondo, Deni Avdija

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 […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/14/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

After ceding the spotlight to the NBA on Super Sunday, the NBA is back at full force with an exciting nine-game slate Monday night.

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/13/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

Welcome to Super Bowl Sunday, RotoBallers. With the biggest sporting event of the year starting at 5:00 pm CT this afternoon, the NBA squeezed 10 games in yesterday along with two early-afternoon games today to avoid any overlap.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Aaron Wiggins has signed an extension with the organization. Wiggins agreed to a four-year contract worth $6.4 million. He was the 55th overall pick from the 2021 NBA Draft. Wiggins hasn't been a huge contributor, but has already made 18 starts for the Thunder this season. He is averaging 7.4 points, […]

Mike Muscala Out Again On Saturday Evening

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Mike Muscala (ankle) won't play on Saturday versus the Bulls. The veteran is currently dealing with right ankle soreness, an ailment that forced him to miss his previous four games. He's expected to be out beyond the All-Star break, and with Derrick Favors resting against Chicago, Isaiah Roby and Aleksej Pokusevski […]

Derrick Favors Resting Against Bulls

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Derrick Favors won't play against the Bulls. After logging 28 minutes against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday evening, finishing with 16 points, nine boards, and five assists, the veteran will get the night off on Saturday to rest. As a result, Isaiah Roby should take Favors' place in the starting lineup, […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/12/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

Welcome, RotoBallers, to Super Bowl Eve. We have an unusually large 10-game slate on tap for tonight and just two afternoon games tomorrow as the NBA, rightfully, wants to avoid conflicting with the most-watched event of the year. It is a really tricky slate, though, as a group of top teams we'd love to target […]

Oklahoma City Waives KZ Okpala

Power forward KZ Okpala was acquired by the Oklahoma City Thunder just prior to the trade deadline, but he won't be suiting up for the franchise. Okpala, 22, is heading to free agency after being waived by OKC on Friday. Taken in the second round of the 2019 NBA draft, Okpala has primarily been a […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/11/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Friday RotoBallers! As usual, we have a jam-packed Friday night slate, filled with some juicy matchups. However, this is going to be quite the weird slate with multiple incomplete active rosters after yesterday's trade deadline. These articles focus on the overall best plays, which are typically more suited for cash games. However, with larger […]

Isaiah Roby Rejoins Rotation For Friday’s Game

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Roby (ankle) has been cleared to play in Friday's contest against the 76ers and head coach Mark Daigneault has confirmed that he will be a member of the team's rotation. Roby has not seen game action since Jan. 2 due to a sprained right ankle. With the OKC frontcourt currently […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 2/11/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

Another massive trade has blown the doors of this season wide open. Joel Embiid was already putting up career-high numbers with little support in the backcourt and there’s no saying how much adding James Harden can boost his production. Obviously, Embiid’s usage will go down in certain areas and some stats will naturally fall to […]

Thunder Acquire KZ Okpala

The Oklahoma City Thunder have acquired forward KZ Okpala from the Miami Heat in exchange for a 2026 second-round draft pick. The Thunder have released forward Mamadi Diakite to clear a roster spot for Okpala, who carries averages of 3.7 points and 2.0 rebounds per game through 21 appearances.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 2/9/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

There might only be six games Wednesday, but two massive trades yesterday make the last games of the night enormous question marks right until tip-off. C.J. McCollum and Larry Nance Jr. were traded to the Pelicans in exchange for Josh Hart, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker essentially, and Domantas Sabonis, Justin Holiday, and Jeremy Lamb were traded […]

Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 17: Hassan Whiteside, Reggie Bullock, Jaxson Hayes, Isaiah Jackson

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 […]

Aleksej Pokusevski Sent To The G League

The Oklahoma City Thunder sent power forward/center Aleksej Pokusevski to the G League on Monday. The seven-footer fell out of the team's rotation in early January, but he earned playing time in this past Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He played 26 minutes in the contest and shot 5-for-9 from the field on the […]

Fantasy Basketball Injury Updates for Week 17 - James Harden, Zach LaVine, De'Aaron Fox, Darius Garland, Malcolm Brogdon

Heads up that I'm getting to this early on Monday so I can watch the Bulls against the Suns and do my podcast for the game.

Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 17: Brandon Clarke, Willy Hernangomez, Gabe Vincent, Onyeka Okongwu

We're getting down to the wire here and you NEED to eke out wins here if your team is on the cusp of a playoff berth. There's no wiggle room as we're probably 2-3 weeks out from your league's playoffs in most competitive leagues. If your league isn't starting playoffs around this time, you're doing […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/7/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We have a much smaller slate than usual for a Monday this week, as only five games are on tap. There's also the potential for some lopsided results given the matchups, but there are still enough healthy players to give us plenty of viable options at each point on the salary scale. There's plenty to […]
