FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/19/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Remember last Friday when we not only had a bevy of games, but the matchups were dreamy? Hang onto that memory, because tonight is going to be an ugly one. There are seven games on the slate, and save for one or two games, we could see a lot of defensive battles. Defensive battles are […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/19/18): NBA DFS Lineups

I'm finally back after a week long vacation in Europe! You guys likely wouldn't know that, though, because I only write this article on Fridays and Sundays. Anyway, we're back in action, and we have a solid seven game slate tonight. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks […]

Rudy Gobert Will Start Friday

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (knee) will start on Friday against the New York Knicks. He's going to be dealing with a minutes limit, but it's great news that he's available to play. Gobert has been out for quite some time, so it could take a few games before he's back to full speed. Derrick […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/17/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

We've got a lot to prep for on yet another big Wednesday slate. As usual, this stands out in contrast to the Tuesday so let's not waste any more time and get straight to business. Point guard and small forward immediately jump out as spots I want to pay up for the big guns on […]

Thabo Sefolosha Will Undergo Season-Ending Surgery

Utah Jazz small forward Thabo Sefolosha (knee) has decided to undergo season-ending knee surgery to repair his MCL. Sefolosha injured his knee Friday against the Charlotte Hornets and was leaning towards the surgery, but Utah has officially announced he will undergo the procedure. In Sefolosha's absence Monday night, the Jazz used a committee at the power […]

Three-Man Weave: Fantasy Basketball's Midseason Awards

While the All-Star game is still a few weeks away, every team in the NBA has reached the midway point of its season at 41 games. We're officially in the home stretch of the 2017-18 season. With that in mind, we dive into the numbers to announce the Most Valuable Player, Most Improved Player, and […]

Donovan Mitchell Solid in Loss

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell was a sole contributor on offense Monday night for Utah as they fell 109-94 to Indiana. Mitchell posted 23 points, two assists, two rebounds and two steals at home, but the Jazz looked lackadaisical most of the night and found themselves in a hole early. Setting aside the brief second-quarter […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/15/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

It feels like a get-away-day in baseball. We have two slates for the NBA today, and none of that two game slate garbage! There are actually 11 games on this Martin Luther King day (I hope you're off and get to enjoy the games), but FanDuel has essentially split them into two "main" slates - […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/15/18): NBA DFS Lineups

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and are enjoying the extra day off. We have a loaded slate, as always on MLK Day, with a handful of games kicking off early in the day, which is never a bad thing. Below you will find my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 1/15/18. I'll provide […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/12/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

The weekend is upon us, my fellow DFS and Rotoballer friends, and what better way to start it than with a nine game slate? Seriously, this is an incredible slate of basketball games tonight. Incredible in terms of fantasy and watch-ability. Before I get into my player selections, let's see what sort of interesting lines […]

Rudy Gobert Doing Non-Contact Work; Ruled Out Friday

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (knee) is still out for Friday night's contest against the Charlotte Hornets but appears to be on track of his original timeline of mid-January. Gobert went through the non-contact portion of practice Thursday and should be ramping up his activity in the coming days. Gobert would still need to go […]

NBA Injuries and Who Can Benefit Instead (Week 13)

Just how frustrated are we with injuries in the NBA this season? It seems as if Player X returns, Player B gets injured. The injury bug has been real this season, and it's like a plague that continues to spread across the league. Understanding the injury landscape is key in all forms of fantasy basketball. […]

Donovan Mitchell Plays Hard but Inefficiently

Utah Jazz shooting guard Donovan Mitchell did a lot of things well on Wednesday night against the Washington Wizards, but shooting wasn't one of them. Mitchell scored 16 points, going 7-for-20 from the field, and grabbed five rebounds and dished out four assists. Mitchell has played well this season but has been inconsistent at times. […]

Derrick Favors Probable Versus Wizards

Utah Jazz forward/center Derrick Favors (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's contest against the Washington Wizards. It's odd to see Favors pop up on the injury report with an ankle injury. It didn't appear to be an issue in Sunday's loss to the Heat. Favors played 32 minutes, scoring 11 points with 10 rebounds. It's likely […]

NBA Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Week 13 and Buy/Sell

Week 12 is in the books and we're flying into Week 13. For most, fantasy playoffs are a lock, while others are still trying to figure out ways to improve their squad. Our staff at RotoBaller has great insight and daily columns how to improve your squad and tips to make your team successful, be […]

Donovan Mitchell Has A Solid Performance

Utah Jazz shooting guard Donovan Mitchell had a very solid game Sunday against the Miami Heat. Mitchell scored 27 points, shooting 12-for-25 from the floor, with three of those made shots coming from downtown. Mitchell has been outperforming his draft position, being drafted after the 10th round or later in most leagues and performing as […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/7/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Hopefully, everyone has had a great start to 2018. The NBA features a five game slate on Sunday with many of those games featuring an abundance of mismatches. Russell Westbrook, Paul George and the surging Thunder will take on the struggling Phoenix Suns, a game that should see many on the OKC roster walk away […]

Donovan Mitchell Has a Solid Game

Utah Jazz shooting guard Donovan Mitchell had a good all-around game on Friday night against the Denver Nuggets. Mitchell scored 15 points, going 6-for-13 from the floor, with three of those made shots coming from three-point territory. Mitchell also pitched in with seven boards and five assists. This was Mitchell's fourth straight contest with 15 points […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/5/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

You know what we deserve after a two game slate? Double digit games and good matchups. Tonight, we're getting both as there are 10 games across the Association. As usual, tip (and thus, FanDuel lock) is at 7pm EST. Two-thirds of the games are taking place in the Eastern or Central time zones, meaning we […]

Defense Wins Fantasy Championships - A Mini-Study

A new year means you get an excuse to try new things. But rather than promising to get fit or eat well, I’ve resolved to release my inner nerd. Today I want to focus on how the fantasy value of an NBA center can be correlated with his defensive prowess. Centers are important for fantasy […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/3/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

We've got a massive slate on Wednesday that nicely contrasts the Tuesday slate that featured only five games. That said, there are surprisingly few elite options in desirable spots. Russell Westbrook has looked more like he did last season, but the Lakers are more vulnerable against wings. LeBron James has been amazing all season but […]

DraftKings NBA DFS Picks for January 3, 2018: Daily Fantasy Advice

We have a MASSIVE 12 game NBA slate, which is our first big slate of this new year, and there are some very interesting options across the board. There are a number of injuries going around, so this should open up some value plays once we get the starting lineups. In this article, I will be […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (12/30/17): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

In the seven games being played tonight, most feature some of the league's more susceptible defenses. The Pelicans, Hawks, Cavaliers, Nuggets, and Magic rank among the bottom 10 when it comes to Defensive Rating. It doesn't mean they will get dominated tonight, it just means that those teams have significant weakspots on defense that can […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/27/17): NBA DFS Advice

We have a big 10 game NBA slate to start our weekend, and there are some very interesting options across the board. There are a number of injuries going around, so this should open up some value plays once we get the starting lineups. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (12/26/17): NBA DFS Advice

I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas and was able to give/receive everything they wanted! Hopefully I can help you recoup some of the money you spent on others yesterday on the slate tonight. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 12/26/17. The DFS lineup picks will […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (12/26/17): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

This Tuesday slate isn't on the level of the Christmas slate, but there is still a heavier slate than usual with eight games. There aren't many elite level players on the slate, especially if Giannis is held out of action. That makes it a pretty easy night to build around one or two favorite studs. […]

My Fantasy NBA Team is Mediocre, How Do I Attack the Throne!?

The holiday season is upon us, and first off all, to all of you reading this I hope you had a Merry Christmas and a great Happy New Year! Now let's get down to business. My goal here is to help all of you do your best and go the furthest in your NBA Fantasy […]

Buy, Sell or Hold: Kevin Love and Jusuf Nurkic?

You own a player who is on fire at the moment? You're worried he's not going to keep it up? Why not use his hotness to swap him for another who you have more faith in? If it's too good to be true, it probably is. Especially in the case we have for you today, where […]

Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers (Week 11)

We're heading into another week of NBA action. This is a bit of a weird one coming up, with exactly zero games scheduled on Sunday for Christmas Eve. Can we survive a basketball-less day? I...don't know! But we do get a good slate of Christmas games as a reward! And we get another week of […]

Roster Doctor: Grand Theft Otto Looks To Steal Some Wins

Fantasy basketball strategy doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Some decisions are easy – if they offer you Nikola Jokic for your Nikola Mirotic, you take it and run, you don’t need anyone to tell you that. Most trade offers and waiver decisions are not that black and white however, and the answer is very context […]
