The Grass Isn't Greener: NBA Free Agency Fallers

Free agency can be a great opportunity for players to find new homes that mesh with their playing styles and help them achieve their potential. But it can also be a chance for players to think they're doing that and then wind up in a bad situation where they're unable to find NBA success. This […]

In this article every week, we'll be reviewing some of the top college basketball games and betting picks.

Goran Dragic (PG/SG, MIA) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 84 Overall CURRENT ADP: 117 ANALYSIS: While Dragic was a key piece in Miami's run to the Finals, the truth is that he inflicted most of his 2020 damage once the Heat arrived in the bubble. Prior to that, Dragic had riden the pine all year long ceding starting-PG duties to […]

Hamidou Diallo (SG/SF, OKC) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 150 Overall CURRENT ADP: 175 ANALYSIS: Oklahoma City is in full rebuild mode. The Thunder will now enter test-the-waters mode and thus they will be forced to play their young guys to see what they have in the roster, who can stay, and who's not worth keeping going forward. That means […]

Dennis Schroder (PG, LAL) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 100 Overall CURRENT ADP: 120 ANALYSIS: Dennis Schroder might have thought of Chris Paul as a threat to his playing time and outcomes when CP3 came to OKC last season, but the reality was far from that. Playing off the pine, Schroder thrived leading a second Thunder unit he was tasked […]

Fantasy Basketball Outlook: Oklahoma City Thunder

There is no doubt that the team who has gone through the biggest offseason overhaul this year has been the Oklahoma City Thunder. After making the playoffs with veterans such as Chris Paul and Steven Adams, general manager Sam Presti blew the team up. Not only gone are several key players, but also coach Billy […]

A key part of doing a fantasy draft is avoiding players who find themselves in a bad situation. The wrong pick can completely tank your season.

The Grass Is Greener: NBA Free Agency Risers for Fantasy Basketball

Free agency in the NBA is the wildest free agency in sports, which means that a ton of players have switched teams this year. While there wasn't as much big-name movement as there were in other seasons, plenty happened in free agency this year, shaking up the landscape of the NBA and, of course, the […]

LaMelo Ball’s Fit With The Charlotte Hornets

The Charlotte Hornets certainly don’t have an encouraging track record with top-10 draft picks. Since drafting Kemba Walker ninth overall in 2011 – the franchise’s clear best draft pick ever – the team went on to select Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (2012, 2nd overall), Cody Zeller (2013, 4th overall), Noah Vonleh (2014, 9th overall) and Frank Kaminsky […]

NBA Draft: Five Rookies Most Likely To Struggle In 2020-21

The 2020 NBA Draft was Wednesday night, and while this fast-paced week of NBA action probably has you thinking about free agency already, let's not forget about how the draft will impact fantasy basketball this season. Every year, rookies come in and create an immediate impact, but you probably know who to target if that's […]

Suns Decline Team Option On Cheick Diallo

Phoenix Suns center Cheick Diallo had his team option for the 2020-2021 season declined by the organization. The 24-year-old center played in 47 games with Phoenix last season. He was mainly used as emergency depth, so declining his option is probably for the best. Diallo will hopefully find himself a better situation elsewhere, but he […]

2020 NBA Draft Winners and Losers - Instant Analysis

Last night's NBA Draft is the mid-point in a wild week of offseason action for the NBA. In a draft without a clear first pick, the Minnesota Timberwolves chose to go with Georgia's Anthony Edwards. Golden State -- who may have lost Klay Thompson for the year with an Achilles injury on Wednesday -- took […]

Suns Draft Jalen Smith At 10th Overall

With the 10th pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, the Phoenix Suns have drafted Maryland big Jalen Smith. Perhaps the most surprising pick so far of this draft, Smith wasn't projected to be a lottery pick. While he averaged 15.5 points and 10.5 rebounds while shooting 36.8 percent from three last season, Smith's lack of […]

Fantasy Basketball Fallers - 2019-2020 Season Review

It's NBA Draft Week! While there is a ton of hype about the incoming rookies (check out all of our NBA Draft analysis here) we still need to take some time to reflect on the 2019-2020 season. We have the shortest NBA offseason EVER this year and it's already time to do some evaluation of […]

Fantasy Impact: Making Sense Of Monday's Flurry Of NBA Trades

The NBA allowed trading to begin on Monday, and by the end of the night, the Milwaukee Bucks had reshaped their entire team, while the Rockets looked poised to begin a long rebuild. With the NBA draft and the start of free agency on the horizon, let's try to make sense of what all of […]

Ricky Rubio Traded To Thunder

The Phoenix Suns and Oklahoma City Thunder have completed a trade that sends guard Ricky Rubio to the Thunder as part of a package deal that also sends guard Chris Paul to the Phoenix Suns. Rubio averaged 13.8 points, 8.8 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game last season in Phoenix, but he's likely to share playmaking […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Heading To OKC

Phoenix Suns forward Kelly Oubre Jr. has been dealt to the Oklahoma City Thunder as part of a package that sends Chris Paul to the Suns. Oubre averaged a career-high 18.7 points per game last season along with 6.4 rebounds while shooting 35.2 percent from three. He should maintain a sizable role on a Thunder […]

Chris Paul Traded To Phoenix

The Oklahoma City Thunder have traded Chris Paul to the Phoenix Suns in a deal that also sends Abdel Nader to Phoenix while sending Kelly Oubre Jr., Ricky Rubio, and other pieces back to OKC. Paul will form a potentially elite backcourt with Devin Booker in what should be a strong Phoenix offense. Paul may […]

Fantasy Basketball Risers - 2019-2020 Season Review

Suns Expected To Pursue Chris Paul Trade

The Phoenix Suns are reportedly interested in making a trade for veteran point guard Chris Paul, according to Brian Windhorst. It's unclear what it would take for the Suns to land Paul from Oklahoma City. Ricky Rubio would likely be dealt in the trade since Paul's presence would significantly impact his playing time in Phoenix. […]

Aron Baynes Could Leave Phoenix

Phoenix Suns center Aron Baynes could be headed elsewhere this offseason. The veteran was non-committal when asked about his future with the team. “I loved my time in Phoenix,” Baynes said. “I knew what it was coming in here and I was able to go out there and take advantage of the role that was […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (8/14/20): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a four-game slate for Friday's NBA schedule and it is quite underwhelming given the circumstances. With playoffs looming and teams uninterested in "home"-court advantage, it is not going to be teams' bright and best out there for most of the games, if at all. The only playoff scenario possibly affected comes via games […]
