With the first game of the season, there’s going to be significantly more ‘false-potential’ tonight compared to any other.

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (10/19/22)

Last night, the NBA returned in a big way as the Celtics pulled out a high-scoring win over the Sixers and the defending champion Warriors dominated the Lakers. I was on the Sixers, so a bit disappointed that they couldn't slow down the Celtics at all in the second half. But the Warriors winning big […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/19/22): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Wednesday, RotoBallers! The NBA season is finally here, and we have a whopping 12 games slotted for this evening. It's a new season, with players switching teams, rookies joining the fold, and rotations mixing and matching as teams learn to gel. My model will take time to adjust to these changes, but it's my […]

NBA DFS Sleepers and Targets: DraftKings, FanDuel Picks and Value Plays for 10/19/22

After easing us in with an exciting two-game slate Tuesday night, the NBA cuts the ribbon on the new season in earnest with a mammoth 12-game slate Wednesday night. It's always an interesting night for roster construction in DFS when there are 24 teams in action -- while there's certainly no shortage of ways to […]

Kevin Huerter Gets Through Tuesday's Practice

Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter (ankle) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice. The 24-year-old is expected to suit up for the season opener on Wednesday. He has been dealing with ankle soreness, but it shouldn't be bad enough to hold him out of this game. Malik Monk would benefit the most, assuming Huerter is […]

Keegan Murray Remains Away From The Team

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray is currently away from the organization. The rookie forward has been away from the team since October 15 due to health and safety protocols. Head coach Mike Brown mentioned he wants to get the 22-year-old some practice time before getting him into real game action. That being said, KZ Okpala […]

One Injury Away: Valuable Handcuffs to Keep an Eye On For Fantasy Basketball

If one thing is true about sports, it's that injuries are inevitable. Even the healthiest and most durable of players aren't exempt from injury. Because of this, it's important to plan ahead in fantasy sports on the off chance that one of your guys goes down. Handcuffing is an interesting strategy that could pay huge […]

Fantasy Basketball - Preseason Risers and Fallers

Last night wrapped up the final preseason games across the association and now teams have three more days to finish out their training camps and prepare for their first regular-season games.

Thunder Dan's 2022-23 Fantasy Basketball Rankings and Draft Analysis

I am quite possibly more excited for this NBA season than I have been for any previous season since I was a kid. I grew up watching the golden age of the NBA in the '80s and '90s and have been an NBA fan ever since. But this season is hopefully going to be like […]

RotoBaller Fantasy Basketball Writers League Draft Recap

On Wednesday night, the RotoBaller writers got together for our annual fantasy basketball draft. In the past, we did a 14-team league, but this year we cut it down to a more "normal" size with a 12-team league. Now that the draft is over, I thought it would be a good idea to go over […]

Sacramento Waives Kent Bazemore

The Sacramento Kings waived forward Kent Bazemore on Thursday. The 33-year-old journeyman joined the team this past offseason and will now be looking for a new team heading into the new season. Last season for the Los Angeles Lakers, he averaged 3.4 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game across 39 games. Bazemore has […]

Fantasy Basketball - Category Studs: Points, Rebounds, And Assists

There are a lot of different ways to build a winning team in fantasy basketball. And depending on your format (Roto, H2H, Points), players are going to have varying degrees of value to your team. That's why it's always important to know your league settings before drafting, as you might draft a much different team […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/12/22): Preseason NBA DFS Lineups

Well, folks, I believe it was Boyz 2 Men who said it best back in 1992 - I am afraid "we've come to the end of the road." We have an eight-game slate tonight with several teams wrapping up their preseason schedule. Tomorrow, there are only two games and then Friday there are NINE, and […]

Preseason rotations are […]

Kevin Huerter Could Be Starting Shooting Guard

Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter was traded during the offseason, which might actually help his fantasy value. In Atlanta, Huerter was roughly a top-200 fantasy player when he was actually healthy. Now, he has a chance to do better in a possible starting role with the Kings. Head coach Mike Brown mentioned that he's leaning […]

Fantasy Basketball Risers, Rookies and Draft Sleepers (Pacific Division) - Devin Booker, John Wall, LeBron James, Steph Curry, Keegan Murray

The regular season is inching closer by the day, and most offseason moves have already been completed – barring a surprising Simmons/Beal/Dame trade before tipoff.

Sacramento Exercises Option On Davion Mitchell

The Kings have exercised the third-year team option for guard Davion Mitchell on Thursday. The 24-year-old averaged 11.5 points, 4.2 steals, and 2.2 rebounds in 75 games as a rookie last season. However, he played considerably better in 19 games in the starting lineup, posting 18.0 points and 7.4 assists. While Mitchell will likely come […]

Five Teams To Target In 2022-2023 Fantasy Basketball

A lot of content focuses exclusively on which players you should draft (or not draft) and when. But what about specific teams? Should we target certain teams more heavily than others? While you don't have to stack up players from one team onto your teams (and in fact, it's probably a bad idea to put […]

Fantasy Basketball Breakouts, Busts, And Locks - Sacramento Kings 2022 Outlook

Hey there, NBA fans, I hope you are enjoying the new series that we have been debuting here at RotoBaller in order to start getting you ready for the 2022-2023 fantasy basketball season!

The regular season is inching closer by the day, and most offseason moves have already been completed – barring a surprising Russell Westbrook trade, or the pending Jae Crowder deal when/if Phoenix finds a proper partner before tip-off day. Each team's depth chart is mostly complete, so it makes sense to start analyzing how it […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/4/22): Preseason NBA DFS Lineups

So I messed around and got a triple-double last night when I took down the $1 20-max on DraftKings, which was pretty cool. I only played 15 lineups but was tempted to throw 20 in when the contest overlayed by nearly 1,000 entries. My winning lineup had a bunch of plays in it from this […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/3/22): Preseason NBA DFS Lineups

Alex Burns' 2022-23 Fantasy Basketball Rankings and Draft Analysis

I know what you're probably thinking."Fantasy basketball rankings in September? We haven't even begun training camp. Does he have nothing better to do with his time?" While I do find myself suffering from significant boredom during the NBA offseason, I want to clarify one thing: It is NEVER too early to begin discussing fantasy hoops. […]

2022-23 Fantasy Basketball Comeback Candidates - Wings and Big Men: Part 2

There is a thing the NFL does that the NBA does not: hand a Comeback Player of the Year award after every season. As the very own NFL defines it, this award is given "to the player who shows perseverance in overcoming adversity, in the form of not being in the NFL the previous year, […]

NBA Draft: UDFAs Who Won't Waste Time

It's funny that every year at the NBA Draft, once the end of the guaranteed money and live appearances arrives at the end of the first round, everybody tunes out and refers to the 60th pick as "Mr. Irrelevant." That's not very accurate though, is it? Speaking historically, the title of "Mr. Irrelevant" could just […]
