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 […]

NBA DFS and Sports Betting Trends: All-Star Break Analysis

We are only one more day away from the return of basketball and if you're a total NBA nut like me, you're ready for it after a full week off. I didn't pay much attention to the All-Star weekend festivities but instead spent more time preparing for the final third of the regular season by […]

Welcome back  RotoBallers! I'm here to help you stay up to date on injury news, and how it impacts your teams in case you had a busy weekend and couldn't keep track of everything. It might have been a snoozer of an All-Star Game, but there was plenty on the injury front in the shortened […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 19: Daniel Gafford, Kyle Anderson, Terance Mann

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 […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/19/23): NBA DFS Lineups

Recommending lineup picks for tonight's All-Star Game is bordering on being an impossible task. What makes this so hard is that the teams haven't yet been picked, so we have to use sheer guesswork to figure out which players will get the most minutes and which might hog usage and fantasy production. Another oddity is […]

Shaedon Sharpe (PF, POR) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 19

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: You knew Shaedon Sharpe is serious about his NBA career the minute he got snubbed from the Rising Stars event at the All-Star Weekend. The consequence: he informed the league he was dropping out of the Dunk Contest. LOL. It's the package […]

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, […]

Anfernee Simons Suffers Significant Injury

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (ankle) is set to miss significant time after the All-Star break. The 23-year-old has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 ankle sprain, which carries a four-to-six week timetable.

After a relatively quiet Tuesday night, we're right back to a massive 11-game ledger Wednesday.

Welcome back to RotoBaller's weekly fantasy basketball waiver wire column and schedule breakdown.

The NBA season just keeps on chugging along, and so does the fantasy basketball season. […]

RIVAL Fantasy NBA Over/Under DFS Prop Picks: Monday, February 13, 2023

With so many names in favorable matchups Monday, you could easily take two or three of the top guys tonight, hit the over, and just wait for it to roll in. Nikola Jokic wins the matchup against Bam Adebayo. The Pelicans don’t have the interior defense to keep Shai-Gilgeous Alexander from getting to the rim […]

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.

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.

Jerami Grant Tagged As Questionable For Monday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (concussion) has been given the questionable tag for Monday as he currently remains in concussion protocol since Saturday night. He has yet to miss a game since December 17, but barely two days after entering the protocol could mean at least one missed game. If he's not cleared by […]

The Cut List - Who To Drop for Fantasy Basketball Week 18

What's up, RotoBallers! Yes, it's the week of the Super Bowl, and most people are going to be enthralled with football for one more day.

Matisse Thybulle Joins Portland

The Portland Trail Blazers have acquired guard/forward Matisse Thybulle from the Philadelphia 76ers.

Thybulle has previously been highly valued as a defensive specialist on the team, but he has averaged […]

Damian Lillard Posts Big Triple-Double Against Warriors

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard had himself a night against the reigning champs as he had a triple-double in a 125-122 win on Wednesday night.

Drew Eubanks Available On Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers center Drew Eubanks (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The big man is expected to make his fourth straight start with Jusuf Nurkic (calf) still sidelined. Normally, Eubanks would be an intriguing streaming option, but he hasn't been too sharp lately. He's averaging 7.7 points and 4.3 […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 2/8/23 - Monkey Knife Fight

Following LeBron James’ historic night is a nine-game slate featuring just one out-of-conference matchup, Spurs versus Raptors.
