DraftKings And FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/22/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a big 10-game slate Wednesday night with plenty of playoff-relevant matchups, which is naturally good news from a DFS perspective since it ups the chances of star players logging heavy minutes. The number of games between contenders also increases the odds of plenty of wire-to-wire battles, and fortunately, we have plenty of appealing […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/19/23): NBA DFS Lineups

It's a glorious Sunday, and we have our typically small five-game slate on tap for tonight's main slate in the NBA. The Clippers-Blazers and Raptors-Bucks matchups hold the high implied totals, but we'll need to consider all ten teams as it's a small slate, and there isn't much in the way of obvious value plays. […]

Jerami Grant Remains Sidelined On Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (quadriceps) remains sidelined ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Clippers. He will now miss his third consecutive game because of a left quad contusion, meaning Trendon Watford could be in line for another start. Watford has averaged nearly a double-double in four starts in 2022-23, making him an ideal […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/18/23): NBA DFS Lineups

Welcome to the weekend, RotoBallers, and happy March Madness for all those who celebrate. We have our typical small slate on tap in the NBA tonight, and it's highlighted by four games with implied totals of at least 232 points. The Celtics-Jazz matchup rates out as the top game to target, thanks to its combination […]

Jerami Grant Out Again On Friday Evening

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (illness) won't play on Friday against the visiting Boston Celtics. Grant didn't suit up in Tuesday's loss to the Knicks, resulting in Trendon Watford taking his place in the starting lineup. Watford has averaged nearly a double-double in three starts in 2022-23, so he'll be a popular fantasy option […]

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Streamers: Week 21

I don't know about you, but I am in a few nail-biter matchups this week and I am currently wringing my hands over the last few adds I make this week. There are three teams you can target for three games in the final four days (DEN, ORL, TOR) and two teams that have the […]

Ranking the Top Ten NBA Point Guards of the 2022-23 Season

Many years ago, the point guard was looked at as someone who'd run the plays, get everyone on the team organized, set up the scoring superstars, and get everyone involved. But in the past decade, we've seen the rise of point guards like Stephen Curry and Damian Lillard, who have completely shifted the perception of […]

Damian Lillard Posts Another 30-Point Game In Loss

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard remains scorching hot since the month of January with another 30-point game despite the blowout loss to the New York Knicks on Tuesday. The veteran scoring machine registered 38 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists while shooting 11-for-26 from the floor and 8-for-17 from three while adding 8-for-9 from […]

Jerami Grant Downgraded To Out Versus New York

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (quad) has been ruled out Tuesday versus the New York Knicks. Grant only played 19 minutes last game and is dealing with a contusion in his quad, forcing him to miss Tuesday's contest. Trendon Watford is expected to get the sport start while Nassir Little should see extra minutes […]

Damian Lillard Available Tuesday Night

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (calf) is available to play Tuesday versus the New York Knicks. Lillard missed the past game due to calf tightness and was questionable before being cleared to play. Lillard's return will push Cam Reddish back to the bench where he will resume a limited role. There is no report […]

Jerami Grant Dealing With Quad Injury

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (quad) is questionable to play Tuesday versus the New York Knicks. Grant is dealing with a quad contusion and was only able to play 19 minutes in Sunday's loss. Given the Blazers were down most of the game, it's possible Grant was held out as a precaution. If Grant […]

Damian Lillard May Sit Tuesday Night

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (calf) is listed as questionable for Tuesday night's game versus the New York Knicks. Lillard is still dealing with tightness in his calf after missing Sunday's game and may miss another. Cam Reddish got the spot start in Lillard's absence, but did not do much given the blowout loss. […]

Welcome to another Sunday, RotoBallers.

Three teams are playing in the second half of a back-to-back set, and we know […]

Anfernee Simons Returns With Eight Triples, 32 Points

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons needed no time at all to shake off any rust from an injury layoff, putting up a team-high 34 points with 8-for-12 three-point shooting Friday against Philadelphia. Led by Simons, the Blazers were able to build up a big lead, but things fell apart in the final quarter and […]

Happy Friday RotoBallers! We have a smaller six-game slate tonight. As always, value can be found and that’s exactly what we’re going to try to do here.

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (3/10/23)

Continuing the theme of "fewer games than usual on a big NBA night," we have just six NBA contests tonight. Two of these games are rematches from Wednesday, making them feel a bit like traps (closely projected games where we could just take the same team that won Wednesday again tonight). It's a hairy slate […]

Anfernee Simons Questionable Against Philadelphia

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (ankle) is questionable ahead of Friday's meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers. The 23-year-old has dealt with a sprained right ankle for a few weeks now and has only played 20 minutes since the All-Star break. As a result, Matisse Thybulle has gotten some starts. However, Thybulle isn't a consistent […]

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Streamers: Week 20

Okay, so this week has been filled with even more carnage than I had expected. We are seeing players rested like crazy and the loss of star players to injury or rest is making it all the more difficult to navigate your way into the next round. You're simply going to have to buckle down […]

Jusuf Nurkic Will Make Return Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (calf) will play Wednesday versus the Boston Celtics. Nurkic has missed the past five weeks dealing with a calf strain, but has been cleared to play. Nurkic will likely resume his starting role which would send Drew Eubanks to the bench. Given the length of absence, it would not […]

Anfernee Simons Remains Unavailable Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (ankle) will remain out for Wednesday's meeting with Boston. The 23-year-old has played in only one of the team's last seven games as he tries to recover from a right ankle sprain. Simons has had an impressive year, scoring a career-high 21.1 points in 35.3 minutes. Cam Reddish and […]

3 NBA Contenders Who Could Bust In The Playoffs

At the start of every NBA season, most teams (with the exception of tanking teams), have the same dream; lifting the Larry O'Brien trophy by the end of the season. Of course, winning an NBA championship depends on many factors, most of which are outside the players, coaches, and owner's control. Assembling the most talented […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/8/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a relatively modest slate by Wednesday standards, as there are seven games on tap. Much like Monday's six-game ledger, that number of contests could be considered a perfect middle ground for those who are looking to have an easy time differentiating for tournaments without being presented with an untenable amount of decisions. The […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (3/8/23)

It's a relatively small slate for a Wednesday night compared to what we are used to during the NBA season, but with seven games on the docket, there are enough options for us to take some shots on some wagers. After a solid finish to last week, I was able to pull my overall record […]

Jusuf Nurkic Officially Questionable For Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (calf) is questionable to play against the Boston Celtics Wednesday. Nurkic has not played in over a month after suffered a calf strain, but the questionable tag seems to imply he is making some progress towards his return. If Nurkic is able to play, Drew Eubanks will likely move […]

Damian Lillard Grabs His Second Triple-Double Of The Year

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard registered his second triple-double of the season Monday night, leading the team to a 110-104 victory over Detroit with 31 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists.
