DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/24/23): NBA DFS Lineups

The NBA returned last night after a full week off and there were no shortages of surprises as Damian Lillard was randomly rested and then Fred VanVleet was a last-minute scratch, too. I know a lot of folks are pretty disheartened by the NBA injury situation and all these guys resting, teams tanking, etc... But […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/23/23): NBA DFS Lineups

I brought you into the break here at RotoBaller and I'll bring you out the other side as well. The Association is back with a robust nine-game slate to get us back in the mood after a week of stepping out with college kids and hockey players missing teeth. This is the time when players […]

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Streamers: Week 18

It feels like forever ago that I wrote the companion piece to this one, the early week streamers for Week 18. A full week off from games is hopefully going to leave the players refreshed and gave us an opportunity, as managers, to re-evaluate our rosters as well. With the fantasy basketball playoffs being right […]

2023 Fantasy Basketball Playoffs Schedule Analysis

NBA All-Star weekend has come to a close, which means two things. One, and maybe most obvious, we're in the "second half" of the 2022-23 NBA season. Two, and maybe more importantly for many of you, we're nearing the fantasy basketball playoffs. And with the fantasy basketball playoffs on the horizon, we also have the […]

R.J. Hampton Waived By Magic

Orlando Magic guard R.J. Hampton has been waived by the organization on Tuesday. The 22-year-old averaged 22.9 minutes during his first season. However, Hampton saw his minutes drop to 13.9 during his second season in the league. In a somewhat surprising move, the Magic have decided to move on from the young guard. Although, the […]

Matisse Thybulle (SF, POR) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 19

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Blazers made some moves ahead of the trade deadline but none of them were quite earth-shattering if you ask me. That said, all of the trades they pulled off seem to be so fine-tuned and pointed toward a very particular, known, […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/15/23): NBA DFS Lineups

After a relatively quiet Tuesday night, we're right back to a massive 11-game ledger Wednesday. The ledger is loaded with attractive options all across the salary cap, which should make for a particularly fun night of lineup construction and tournament play in particular. That notion is further supported by the fact there are plenty of […]

Cole Anthony Will Miss Tuesday's Game Versus Toronto

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (wrist) will sit out Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Anthony has been playing well, but suddenly experienced wrist soreness and was a late scratch from Monday's contest. The pain seems to be too great for Anthony to play and will miss his second straight game on Tuesday. Jalen Suggs […]

Cole Anthony Questionable On Tuesday Against Toronto

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (wrist) was a last-minute subtraction from the lineup on Monday and his status is up in the air for the second half of their back-to-back. Since this is their last contest before All-Star weekend, Orlando could opt to go the safe route and just let him sit out one more. […]

Jonathan Isaac Sidelined For Injury Management On Tuesday

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (injury management) has been downgraded to out on Tuesday against the Toronto Raptors for left knee injury management. The Magic will continue to be very cautious with Isaac's recovery process as he's seen major injuries in every season but one in his NBA career so far. While he's out on […]

This article will provide you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup […]

Cole Anthony Unavailable On Monday

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (wrist) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The young guard is dealing with right wrist soreness, so he'll sit this game out. His absence should free up additional playing time for Jalen Suggs. Over the last two weeks, Suggs has been a top-100 player in […]

Early-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 18

The NBA All-Star break splits Week 18 right down the middle. We have a ton of action tonight and Wednesday in the association and a fairly light schedule on Tuesday and Thursday.

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/13/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We're teed up for a massive 11-game slate Monday night as the NBA re-takes the spotlight from the NFL following a small two-game slate on Super Sunday. We do have a couple of particularly large favorites, but the rest of the games project to be reasonably-to-very-competitive affairs if point spreads are any indication. Projected totals […]

Markelle Fultz (PG, ORL) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS: We're barely two months into Markelle Fultz's Return Tour but it's been so far so good for the much-maligned point guard. Starting at the one for the Magic since the day he returned, it's already been 35-of-35 games started for the former […]

Cole Anthony Comes Close To Triple-Double In Win

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony turned in a big game off of the bench during a 115-104 win over the first-seed Denver Nuggets.

If you're looking to get in on the excitement, there are plenty of player prop contests offered by our […]

Mo Bamba Joining The Lakers

The Magic traded center Mo Bamba to the Lakers on Thursday in exchange for Patrick Beverley. Bamba hasn't been a consistent contributor throughout his five seasons of service, averaging 7.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks. However, the 24-year-old should be the clear-cut No. 2 option behind Anthony Davis after Thomas Bryant was sent to […]

Jalen Suggs Moves Into Starting Five

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs will move into the starting five for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The young guard will replace Gary Harris (groin) who will sit this game out. The 21-year-old has not been consistent this season, which makes him a tough long term fantasy option. However, he could be worth the […]

Patrick Beverley On The Move To Orlando

According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, Patrick Beverley has been traded to the Orlando Magic for Mo Bamba. This will be the 34-year-old's fourth team in three seasons and his fifth team overall. He currently has some value in deeper leagues for teams that are desperate for threes, assists, or steals. That value could take […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/9/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We are back down to four games on our Thursday NBA slate. We're going to have a ton of Phoenix value against the Hawks and maybe some Lakers value after the deadline deal that dealt Russ yesterday.

Paolo Banchero Notches A Double-Double Against Charlotte

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero recorded his eighth double-double of the season on Sunday, contributing a team-high 22 points and 10 rebounds in a 119-113 victory over the Hornets. He also had five assists and one steal for a nice line in 35 minutes, but Banchero's recent shooting struggles continued. He was 6-for-20 from the […]

Mo Bamba Suspended Four Games

Orlando Magic center Mo Bamba will serve a four-game suspension. The 24-year-old started in place of Wendell Carter Jr. (foot) on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, his night ended after only 21 minutes after getting into a physical altercation with Austin Rivers. Nevertheless, with Carter returning on Sunday versus Charlotte, Bamba's fantasy potential would […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Off The Injury Report

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (foot) is available for Sunday's meeting with the Hornets. The 23-year-old sat out Friday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves because of a right foot plantar fascia strain. However, he's good to go and should get plenty of minutes with Mo Bamba out due to suspension.

Mo Bamba Among FIve Players Ejected

Orlando Magic center Mo Bamba was among five players who got ejected from Friday's matchup versus the Timberwolves. He got into a fight with Minnesota's Austin Rivers late in the third quarter and a big tussle broke out on the court which involved several players. Jaden McDaniels and Taurean Prince from the Timberwolves and Jalen […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Out Versus Minnesota

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (foot) is out on Friday against Minnesota. Carter is currently battling a right foot plantar fascia strain, so he could miss more games beyond Friday night. In the meantime, Mo Bamba will enter the starting lineup, with the 24-year-old averaging 10.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in five […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 2/3/23 - Monkey Knife Fight

Out of Friday’s eight games, five have point-totals surpassing 230. Luckily, other three offer some positive variance since not one of those six teams is playing particularly well right now. The Suns-Celtics, Rockets-Raptors, and Magic-Timberwolves might not be at the top of everyone watch-list, but there is money to be won within each game based […]
