Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Streamers for Week 2

Welcome to Week 2, where the sample sizes are small but the emotional overreactions are at stock market highs. It feels good when the players you drafted are balling out, but don't count your fantasy winnings yet. On the flip side, while it's painful to watch the players you birthed and nurtured throughout the draft […]

Ivica Zubac (C, LAC): Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: I still don't know how the hell the Clippers could steal Zubac from their neighbors in broad daylight. If you don't remember, the Lake Show traded Zubac (along with Mike Beasley) to the Clips in exchange for Mike Muscala... who is now a […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/31/20): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy New Year's Eve, Rotoballers! We've almost had three different seasons played in the last 365 days, but it's given us a lot to think about as DFS players. Hopefully, 2021 will bring us some stability, and the NBA season will continue to run smoothly. However, before we get to that, there are seven games […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for Thursday (12/31/20) - Monkey Knife Fight

There are seven games on the New Years Eve NBA schedule, starting in the afternoon. Get in on the action on Monkey Knife Fight. In the evening games, the Sacramento Kings are in Houston to take on the Rockets. The Kings are 3-1 to start the season while the Rockets are 0-2. The New York […]

George Hill On Track To Return For Thursday’s Game

Oklahoma City Thunder point/shooting guard George Hill (neck) was not listed on the team's latest injury report, an indication that he is likely to suit up for Thursday's contest versus New Orleans. Hill missed Tuesday's game due to a neck ailment, which allowed Justin Jackson to join the starting five. With Jackson not having played […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Has Best Shooting Performance So Far

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continued what looks like a third-year breakout with an efficient 23 points against the Magic. Gilgeous-Alexander added seven rebounds and seven assists- he's compiled at least those numbers in two of three games to start the year. The 22-year-old took a big statistical leap last year, though it's reasonable […]

Isaiah Roby Draws First Career Start Tuesday

Oklahoma City Thunder power forward/center Isaiah Roby has played 11 career minutes, but he will draw the start at center Tuesday versus Orlando with Al Horford (rest) ruled out. Roby hasn't appeared in either of the Thunder's first two games of the season, so his shift into the starting five comes as something of a […]

George Hill Ruled Out For Tuesday’s Game

Oklahoma City Thunder point/shooting guard George Hill (neck) will miss the second leg of the team's back-to-back against Orlando on Tuesday due to a neck ailment. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander can be expected to handle an even larger share of ball-handling duties, while Hamidou Diallo and Theo Maledon are in line to see increased roles and can […]

Al Horford Resting Versus Orlando

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Al Horford (rest) will not suit up versus the Orlando Magic on Tuesday. The veteran forward will sit out for a routine rest day. Mike Muscala is expected to make the start here, but don't expect much value from him. Aleksej Pokusevski could be an interesting punt play in DFS contests, […]

George Hill Might Sit Out On Tuesday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard George Hill (neck) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He is dealing with neck spasms, so the team is likely going to wait to see how he feels closer to game time. His absence won't be a huge blow to the Thunder rotation. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander should […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/29/20): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Tuesday, Rotoballers! We're already a week into the 2020-21 season, and it's great to have the NBA back on our screens. I still miss watching the games in person, but something is better than nothing. Several teams are in the middle of a surprising start this year, including the Cleveland Cavaliers sitting at 3-0 […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (12/29/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Last week, the first Tuesday of the 2020-21 NBA season featured two games; the second? A massive serving of 10 games that is sure to cause option paralysis for some fantasy managers. As of Monday night, there was no game slated for a points total lower than 217, an indication of the high level of […]

Luguentz Dort Drops Career-High 26 Points During Defeat

Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard/small forward Luguentz Dort had it all working offensively during Monday's loss to Utah, pouring in a career-best 26 points while shooting an efficient 9-for-11 overall, including 5-for-7 from behind the arc. Having led the team in scoring, Dort also added two rebounds and two steals. In addition to being a […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (12/28/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Monday starts off the week on a significantly more modest note compared to the weekend, with just five games on the entire slate.

Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers - Week 2

And just like that, the first week of the 2020-2021 NBA season comes to an end. With the first week in the books, there will always be some overreactions to surprising performances like Terry Rozier's 42 points in the opener or the nine-point effort Damian Lillard had in their opener. Despite all that, in category […]

Fantasy Basketball 9-Cat Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2

The first week of the NBA season is coming to a close. We've seen some stellar performances this week, with maybe none more impressive than James Harden dragging what was left of the Rockets to overtime against Portland on Saturday night. We also saw some surprising performances that came out of nowhere. Let's focus on […]

Theo Maledon Set For Debut Saturday, Ty Jerome Will Miss Game

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Theo Maledon has been added to the team's roster for Saturday's game against Charlotte and is expected to make his NBA debut after having been taken in the second round of the 2020 NBA Draft. With the Thunder thin at the PG spot with Ty Jerome (ankle) once again out […]

Darius Miller Joins Thunder Roster For Saturday’s Game

Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Darius Miller (Achilles) will be active and available for Saturday's contest against Charlotte. Miller has been unavailable since the conclusion of the 2018-19 year and figures to factor into bench plans for the Thunder, although how many minutes that he receives out of the gate remains to be seen. The […]

The NBA season is now in full swing as we had a great slate of games on Christmas Day. We're following that up with a juicy nine-gamer on the main slate today. There is a ton of value on the board, which means the stars-and-scrubs lineup strategy could be even more in play than it […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (12/26/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Happy Holidays, everyone. On Christmas, we had five games on the agenda, and while that can be enjoyable as we had hoops throughout the entire day, it can be challenging in terms of lineup construction.

Ty Jerome Unavailable For Wednesday’s Season Opener

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Ty Jerome (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Rockets. Jerome's absence will work against the Thunder's PG depth, as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is set to serve as the team's starting point with George Hill pitching in off the bench. The Thunder acquired Jerome this off-season from Phoenix, […]
