Ben Simmons has been traded! That was among the many, many things that went down on Thursday during the NBA trade deadline. From blockbuster deals to weird, random deals, this was a wild and active day in the NBA. Now that the dust has settled, let's look at how Thursday impacted things in fantasy basketball.Upgrade […]

Aaron Holiday Joins Suns At Trade Deadline

Washington Wizards point guard Aaron Holiday has reportedly been acquired by the Phoenix Suns just prior to the trade deadline on Thursday. Holiday is another former member of the Wizards to be dealt, with the team taking on a vastly new look for the remainder of the year. The 25-year-old averaged 6.1 points across 16.2 […]

Jalen Smith Gets Moved To Indiana

Phoenix Suns forward Jalen Smith has been traded to the Indiana Pacers. In exchange, the Suns will receive forward Torrey Craig, while also giving up a second-round pick to Indiana. This move helps the Suns add more depth and Craig has played enough in Phoenix in the past. Although, Craig doesn't offer much fantasy value […]

I was feeling great about last night's bets sitting at 3-0 and heading into the evening games. And I felt even better when I saw the Warriors race out to an 11-0 lead against the Jazz. And then I went to bed because I have to get up early every day. When I woke up […]

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 […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/5/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We have a typically-small five-game Saturday slate on tap tonight, and it's not going to be the easiest night to dissect as value appears to be slim outside of OKC. The top two games to target look to be the Bucks-Blazers and Heat-Hornets as those matchups hold high totals and weak defense on the Blazers […]

Deandre Ayton, Jae Crowder Available On Thursday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) and forward Jae Crowder (wrist) are available for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Both players were able to play on Tuesday without any issues. They should resume their normal roles without any limitations on Thursday. Bismack Biyombo and Cameron Johnson will be impacted the most by Ayton and […]

Jae Crowder Listed As Probable For Thursday Night

Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder (wrist) is probable for Thursday's outing against Atlanta. The 31-year-old missed his previous four games because of a left wrist contusion before returning on Tuesday versus the Nets. He logged 25 minutes in that one, although he struggled by finishing with three points on a horrid 1-for-5 shooting. Nonetheless, it's […]

Deandre Ayton Probable Versus Atlanta

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) is probable for Thursday night's showdown against the Atlanta Hawks. The big man returned on Tuesday evening versus the Nets after missing his previous seven games due to a sprained right ankle. He played only 28 minutes. However, he still finished with 12 points, six boards, and a steal. […]

Deandre Ayton Returning Against Nets

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) will make his return to the court for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Both Ayton and Jae Crowder (wrist) are returning here after missing multiple games. Bismack Biyombo will lose most of his streaming appeal with Ayton back in the starting five. It's uncertain if Ayton will be […]

Deandre Ayton, Jae Crowder Questionable To Play Tuesday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) and power forward Jae Crowder (wrist) have been elevated to questionable to suit up for Tuesday's game vs. the Nets after going through shootaround earlier in the day. Ayton has missed the past seven outings, while Crowder has been down the past four. A return from Ayton would knock […]

Deandre Ayton Ruled Out Against Nets

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The 23-year-old will miss his eighth straight contest as he recovers from a right ankle sprain. Fantasy managers should remain patient as Ayton is currently considered day-to-day and could return later in the week against the Hawks, while […]

Jae Crowder Questionable For Sunday

Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He has missed each of the last three games due to a left wrist contusion. Cameron Johnson has been excellent lately and is worth streaming while Crowder is out. Fantasy managers should check the waiver wire and […]

Deandre Ayton Questionable Versus Spurs

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He has missed each of the five games while dealing with an ankle injury. JaVale McGee (knee) is questionable as well, which means Bismack Biyombo could be looking at significant minutes once again. He'll be a strong […]

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) […]

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Happy Wednesday, RotoBallers! I hope this week of NBA DFS has treated you well.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/26/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

Wednesday’s 10-game slate is anchored by six inter-conference matchups, with eight teams playing on the second night of a back-to-back. Generally, it’s much easier to simply avoid teams that are playing multiple games over the span of just a few days, but ignoring context like that will likely only hurt your betting and ultimately your […]
