BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 22% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tristan Thompson has been out during the past week but should be back soon. Richaun Holmes is going through conditioning and will also get back to the Kings lineup and make his year-2022 debut in the next few days after missing all […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/16/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

Just three games on the main slate tonight as the league loaded up the schedule for Martin Luther King Day on 1/17. The Rockets-Kings game stands out in a big way as its 240-point implied total is a full 16.5 points ahead of the Jazz-Nuggets contest and 24 points ahead of the Warriors-Timberwolves affair. The […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/14/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

Friday’s nine game slate doesn’t consist of the highest point totals, but look at the projected lineups for each game and you’ll notice that most of the teams playing are surprisingly healthy aside from the Warriors missing their most important player. As we saw yesterday, Golden State without Draymond Green does not have a chance […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/14/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We have a pretty full Friday with nine games in the Association. Teams are still racked with injuries and COVID, so make sure to check out our injury news. Most of the big stars will be in lineups tonight, with the notable exceptions of Draymond, Klay Thompson, Bam, Kristaps Porzingis, and Clint Capela. That's much […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/12/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

Wednesday isn't just "Hump Day," it's one of the best days for NBA DFS and we have an excellent nine-game slate on tap tonight with some really juicy games that we can target. I do my NBA DFS game value ratings every day and I posted them earlier on Twitter, where I noted that we […]

Tristan Thompson Ruled Out Wednesday

Sacramento Kings center Tristan Thompson (quad) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Fellow big man Richaun Holmes will join him on the sideline as he continues to sit out due to COVID-19 protocols. Alex Len is expected to play extended minutes with Thompson and Holmes sidelined. He has two […]

Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 13: Hassan Whiteside, Matisse Thybulle, Furkan Korkmaz, Lonnie Walker IV

If you're one of those fantasy basketball players that sets a lineup at the beginning of the week, checks out, and then comes back seven days later to see how things shook out, this post is not for you. This is for those who are grinding through each day and keeping track of categories as […]

Fantasy Basketball Injury Updates for Week 13 - James Harden, Damian Lillard, Draymond Green, Dillon Brooks, Patrick Beverley

Hope you all enjoyed your "Klay Day" yesterday. We're starting to get some familiar names back into the fold, like Klay Thompson and Thomas Bryant. Who is worth a stash? Are any of them worth a roster spot? How many people are out with COVID? Your answers and more this week in Rotoballer's NBA Injury […]

Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 13: Onyeka Okongwu, Terrence Ross, Hamidou Diallo, Cedi Osman, Patrick Beverley, De'Anthony Melton

We've had some ridiculous value in the past few weeks with guys like Herb Jones, Malik Monk, Cameron Johnson, and Coby White putting up second-round total value or better over the past two weeks. Two of those guys were in last week's streamers by the way, so we aren't doing too badly! Speaking of, I'm […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 13

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 […]

Chimezie Metu Questionable For Sunday's Contest

Sacramento Kings center Chimezie Metu is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He has been building up his conditioning and has a decent chance at playing on Sunday. Fantasy managers should expect Metu to have a significant role, assuming he suits up. Both Richaun Holmes and Damian Jones remain sidelined due […]

De'Aaron Fox Questionable For Sunday's Contest

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This is a shame considering Fox has been playing extremely well lately. Hopefully, Fox will only miss one game, assuming he does miss any time at all. Tyrese Haliburton would likely gain the most fantasy value from […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/8/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

Welcome, RotoBallers. We have a small five-game slate on tap tonight, which is a huge helper since we (still) have an abundance of COVID and injury concerns to wade through on a nightly basis in the NBA. The hardest-hit team on Saturday's main slate is undoubtedly the Utah Jazz, who currently have their top eight […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/7 - Monkey Knife Fight

Friday is a jampacked nine-game slate and if you weren’t satisfied with last nights grouping of games, today has much more to offer. First things first, small slates usually mean there will be a limited number of teams playing two games in two days, so it’s already looking positive that every team will be arguably […]

Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 12: Devin Vassell, Patrick Beverley, Mason Plumlee, Nicolas Claxton

If you're one of those fantasy basketball players that sets a lineup at the beginning of the week, checks out, and then comes back seven days later to see how things shook out, this post is not for you. This is for those who are grinding through each day and keeping track of categories as […]

Chimezie Metu Lands In COVID-19 Protocols, Out Tuesday

Sacramento Kings power forward Chimezie Metu has been placed in the league's health and safety protocols, ruling him out indefinitely, beginning with Tuesday's game against the Lakers. Metu's role has fluctuated this season, but he enjoyed a solid December with 9.8 points and 6.2 rebounds averaged on a nightly basis. His primary appeal is in […]

Happy Tuesday, Rotoballers! It's my first NBA DFS article of 2022, and I'm ready to help y'all start the year with a win. 2021 had some wild nights, especially towards the end there with the spike in COVID cases.

The 2021 NBA season is underway and that means our new friends over at PrizePicks have a TON of great props we can look to take advantage of. PrizePicks is a great DFS props site where you can choose to select plays in terms of fantasy points or single stats. The goal is to build […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/3 - Monkey Knife Fight

This weekend featured plenty of exciting games, but throughout all 13 games, only one player scored 50 points. Jaylen Brown was unstoppable against the Magic and even though Orlando had the opportunity to win this game outright, their defense had no answer and seemingly no adjustments within the second half of the game. Boston doesn't […]

Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 12: Herbert Jones, Nicolas Claxton, Malik Monk, Otto Porter Jr.

Hope everyone had a fantastic holiday season, but I'm back and ready to keep kicking butt in fantasy basketball. We're getting into the true grind of the season where things get kind of boring and predictable, only we're dealing with COVID so nothing is like that ever. Still, there should be value to have here […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 12

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 […]

Damian Jones Joins Starting Unit On Sunday

Sacramento Kings center Damian Jones will replace Richaun Holmes in the starting five on Sunday against Miami. Holmes entered the league's COVID-19 protocols on Saturday, so this could be the first of many starts for Jones. Alex Len and Tristan Thompson might benefit as well, but they were completely out of the rotation in Friday's […]

DraftKings, FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/2/22): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Welcome, RotoBallers. We're treated to a solid six-game slate tonight and three of the matchups (PHX/CHA, MIA/SAC, MIN/LAL) are very appealing from a DFS perspective. We're starting to see teams returning to some semblance of their typical starting lineups, though there are still a ton of players stuck in the health and safety protocols. This […]

Richaun Holmes Enters COVID-19 Protocols

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes is expected to miss Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. Holmes has entered the league's health and safety protocols. This is a shame since Holmes has played well in his five games since returning from injury. Marvin Bagley III, Damian Jones, and Chimezie Metu should all see increased minutes. It's […]

DraftKings, FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/1/22): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Welcome, RotoBallers. It's time to shake off the hangover and start 2022 off the right way by profiting in NBA DFS tonight. We have just a handful of games on both sites, with the Nuggets-Rockets and Spurs-Pistons leading the group with implied totals over 223 points. The Warriors-Jazz late-night hammer game is intriguing too - […]

Tyrese Haliburton Keeps Building A New Double-Double Streak

Sacramento Kings point guard Tyrese Haliburton had his double-double streak cut at four games last week, but he's started a new one. The 21-year-old bagged a third consecutive double-double in Friday's loss to Dallas, finishing with 17 points and 10 assists. He also managed to grab four rebounds and registered one steal and two turnovers, […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 12/31 - Monkey Knife Fight

Ten games Friday with an early start between the Suns and Celtics, featuring Devin Booker, Chris Paul, and Jaylen Brown. Jayson Tatum remains out and Brown has scored at least 25 points in his last five games so there's going to be upside as long as he's available. Following that, the Pacers host the Bulls […]

Davion Mitchell Clears COVID-19 Protocols

Sacramento Kings guard Davion Mitchell has cleared the league's COVID-19 protocols ahead of Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Both Mitchell and Alex Len will be available for this contest. However, the majority of the Kings roster is healthy, which hurts the value of these two players. Len won't be on the fantasy radar, while […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 12/29 - Monkey Knife Fight

Nine games Wednesday with five teams playing on the second night of a back-to-back. The Miami Heat are one of those teams and, as of only a few minutes ago, sent three more players, P.J. Tucker, Gabe Vincent, and Zylan Cheatham, into COVID protocol, and as of even more recently, Jimmy Butler has also been […]
