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 […]
NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/31/22 - Monkey Knife Fight
Monday’s eight game slate features four teams on the second night of a back-to-back. The Hawks and Clippers should be relatively fresh with their starters playing lower-end minutes, and the Cavaliers and Trail Blazers will desperately want to win at least one leg of their back-to-back, after both teams had chances to win their Sunday […]

Welcome back to the waiver wire! Need to bolster your flailing team? We've got you covered. Maybe. We'll see.

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/30/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
Just a five-game slate on tap tonight as there are three matinee contests in the NBA as well as the almighty NFL Championship Round games kicking off at 2:00 pm CT. It's a bit of an odd slate as three of the games (Jazz-Wolves, Nuggets-Bucks, Spurs-Suns) are miles ahead of the other two (Cavaliers-Pistons, Mavericks-Magic) […]
Seth Curry Will Return Against Kings
Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He had missed each of the last four games while dealing with a left ankle injury. There's a chance he's somewhat limited during his first game back on the court. Curry has some streaming appeal and he could be a […]
DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/29/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
We have a modest six-game slate in the NBA tonight, and it's certainly not lacking for star power. Embiid, Doncic, Harden, Curry, Morant, Tatum, Sabonis, and Irving are the highlights at the top of the salary scale, so we're going to have our pick of the litter among the studs. Three of the six matchups […]
Tobias Harris Questionable For Thursday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He missed shootaround while he deals with a non-COVID related illness. The organization is hopeful Harris plays, but the final decision will likely be made after pregame warmups. Joel Embiid and Seth Curry would be asked to […]
DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/27/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
With the NFL regular season in the books, the NBA is now in sole possession of Thursday nights for the time being. As a result, both games will be nationally televised on TNT starting with Lakers/Sixers at 7:30 PM ET followed by Timberwolves/Warriors at 10:00 PM ET. Having only four teams taking the court is […]
Danny Green Earns Questionable Tag For Thursday
Philadelphia 76ers small forward Danny Green (hip) has been deemed questionable to play in Thursday's game vs. the Lakers due to right hip pain. The ailment has cost Green each of Philly's previous seven contests, with Furkan Korkmaz emerging as the team's primary marksman. Even when healthy, Green has been held to single digits in […]
Seth Curry Remains Out For Thursday’s Game
Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Seth Curry (ankle) has been deemed unavailable for Thursday's contest against the Lakers due to a sore left ankle. Curry will miss his fourth consecutive game, paving the way for Furkan Korkmaz and Matisse Thybulle to continue seeing sizable workloads out of the backcourt. Isaiah Joe has also been bumped into […]
Matisse Thybulle Returns On Tuesday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Matisse Thybulle (shoulder) will return for Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He had missed each of the last five games while dealing with a sprained right shoulder. The Sixers certainly missed his defense and Thybulle will have a great chance to make an impact on Tuesday. The Pelicans are banged […]
Fantasy Basketball Injury Updates for Week 15 - Lauri Markkanen, Domantas Sabonis, Kyle Lowry, Anthony Edwards, Mitchell Robinson, Alex Caruso, Lonzo Ball, Anthony Davis
Just a heads up that I'm writing this mostly before the games on Monday, so please confirm my information here before you click that "add" button real quick. That due diligence will save you from making a costly mistake. A couple of big Bulls injuries happened this week, which is unfortunate for this Bulls fan […]
DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/25/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
Happy Tuesday, RotoBallers! A surprisingly-big eight-game Tuesday slate follows an unusually-small Monday night for the NBA. However, with the NFL winding down (at least in the number of games), basketball can begin to spread its matchups throughout the week more evenly. So as the season moves past the halfway point, I'll be looking forward to […]
Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 15: Torrey Craig, Rodney McGruder, Day'Ron Sharpe, Caleb Martin
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 […]
Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 15: Justin Holiday, Nerlens Noel, Kevon Looney, Bismack Biyombo, Danilo Gallinari
I'm still pissed off about my Bulls losing to the Orlando Magic, but at least in fantasy Magic, I'm holding it down. I guess we all have to be good at something, right? Let's see how our top picks last week fared: Nicolas Claxton (FG%, N/A INJ), Danilo Gallinari (FT%, 10th-round value), Coby White (PTS […]
DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/23/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
We have nine games over on the main slate tonight, highlighted by the monster implied totals and fast projected paces of the Hawks-Hornets and Nets-Timberwolves contests. The Sixers-Spurs, Jazz-Warriors, and Lakers-Heat games also have their share of fantasy appeal, while the Grizzlies-Mavericks game and the Magic and Pistons don't look to be attractive targets tonight. […]

Hamidou Diallo (SG/SF, DET): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: See, the Pistons might be going nowhere any time soon barring landing Ben Simmons on that "leaked" offer that would send Bey/Grant/Olynyk the other way. That doesn't mean they don't have a clear plan when it comes to the near-future: stay on […]
Seth Curry, Danny Green Will Miss Sunday’s Contest
Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Seth Curry (ankle) and small forward Danny Green (hip) have been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Spurs. Curry's absence due to a sore left ankle has now extended to two contests, with Isaiah Joe having stepped into his starting spot Friday. Green will have missed each of Philly's last […]
Seth Curry Will Miss Friday’s Game, Isaiah Joe Draws Start
Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Seth Curry (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's contest vs. the Clippers, paving the way for Isaiah Joe to slide into the starting five for the first time this season. Curry has battled ankle soreness as of late, which may have contributed to back-to-back single-digit scoring efforts on the heels […]
DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/21/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
Happy Friday RotoBallers! As usual, we have a jam-packed Friday night slate, filled with some juicy matchups. These articles focus on the overall best plays, which are typically more suited for cash games. However, with larger slates like this one, you don't have to worry about ownership getting steamed up too hard usually, so consider […]
Seth Curry Draws Questionable Tag For Friday’s Game
Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Seth Curry (ankle) has been deemed questionable to suit up for Friday's contest vs. the Clippers due to left ankle soreness. Curry has enjoyed a career year, but he has shot just 1-for-6 from beyond the arc over his past two outings. On pace to set new career highs in points […]
DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/20/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
It's Thursday and we have hoops on our televisions! We truly are blessed.

Despite the lighter slate, DFS is still a thing and there are still plenty of opportunities to […]
Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 14: Eric Gordon, Patrick Beverley, LaMarcus Aldridge, Patty Mills

Fantasy Basketball Injury Updates for Week 14 - Kevin Durant, Zach LaVine, Stephen Curry, Myles Turner, Tyrese Haliburton
Another week went by already? Man, time just keeps moving faster in fantasy basketball land. Most teams have played a bit over half of their games at this point and we're reaching a bit of a lull in the season where new guys are stepping up and some of the guys we considered fantasy gold […]
Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 14

Matisse Thybulle, Danny Green Ruled Out Saturday
Philadelphia 76ers guard Matisse Thybulle (shoulder) and forward Danny Green (hip) have been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. Thybulle took a fall during Friday's game and was forced out of that contest. As a result, Thybulle will miss at least Saturday's game. Green has been dealing with lingering hip pain for […]
Joel Embiid Uncertain For Saturday
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (elbow) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. The Sixers will already be without three players, so losing Embiid is a tough blow. Andre Drummond would move into the starting five, assuming Embiid cannot go. Drummond would have decent streaming appeal and be a possible low […]
DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/15/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
We have an unusually-large slate for a Saturday as there are nine games on tap, kicking off with the Blazers-Wizards matchup at 6:00 CT. The Pelicans-Nets affair leads the slate with a 230.5-point implied total, though the Lakers-Nuggets and aforementioned Blazers-Wizards games also profile as being very favorable for fantasy production. The Knicks-Hawks, Clippers-Spurs, and […]
