Isaiah Roby Remains Unavailable For Saturday’s Game

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Roby (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Kings, marking his 16th consecutive absence due to a sprained right ankle. Roby ripped off four consecutive starts before the injury bug struck, so he will be a name to keep an eye on whenever he is ultimately cleared […]

Luguentz Dort Will Miss Saturday’s Contest

Oklahoma City Thunder small/power forward Luguentz Dort (face) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Kings due to a facial contusion. Dort has enjoyed high level production over the past month, averaging 18.1 points and 2.9 made threes across his last 14 outings. Darius Bazley and Kenrich Williams stand to see elevated minutes […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (2/4/22)

Happy Friday, RotoBallers! Friday nights usually bring excellent NBA slates and tonight is no exception as we have nine games tonight including a late-night national TV game with the Sixers facing the Mavericks in Dallas on ESPN. Wednesday was a frustrating night for me. Denver ended up sitting most of their regulars and I had […]

Jeremiah Robinson-Earl Sidelined At Least Six Weeks

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (foot) is not expected to take the court anytime soon. He missed Wednesday's game with what the team believed was a sprained right foot. In fact, Robinson-Earl suffered a broken third metatarsal, which will sideline him for at least six weeks. The organization will re-evaluate the rookie forward after […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (2/2/22)

Monday's slate got funky real fast and I had to void two of my three picks as I had zero confidence in the Cavs covering once they announced Darius Garland was going to be out and they barely eked out a win. Then Miami also ruled out Jimmy Butler so I lost them as live […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/31/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We have an eight-game late on tap Monday night, and although there are only two games between teams with winning records, oddsmakers are projecting a competitive ledger overall if points spreads are more or less accurate. From a DFS perspective, we could certainly benefit from the fact some of the very worst defensive teams in […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (1/31/22)

Friday's NBA slate was very much a mixed bag for me. While I did pretty well in DFS, the two bets I recommend in this column both missed, and a few others I liked (but not quite as much) hit. That's why I always supply my model as well and try to highlight a few […]

NBA Waiver Wire Streamers for Fantasy Basketball Week 16 (Jan 31 - Feb 6)

We're nearly at the finish line, and most of us are scrambling to try and get the best possible position for the playoffs (or just to make them at all).

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 16: Garrison Mathews, Corey Joseph, Reggie Bullock, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Austin Rivers

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 […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander To Be Sidelined Through All-Star Break

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) is going to be out until at least after the All-Star break. The star guard suffered a right ankle sprain during Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. This team is going nowhere fast, so they've decided to let Gilgeous-Alexander rest through the All-Star break. Fantasy managers should be […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/24/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We have an unusually compact four-game slate for a Monday night, and it's one that has an even narrower player pool than it already would because of the absences of a number of key players. As such, it will be impossible to avoid some risks when building lineups for cash or tournaments, even as the […]
