Early-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 19

It's one of the lighter weeks of the season here in Week 19 as only around half of the teams in the league play four games with the other half playing only two or three. We have only four games tonight and Thursday night with Tuesday (9) and Wednesday (10) being the days with the […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/26/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We have an exciting Sunday slate with ten teams on the main slate to wrap up the weekend. The Kings-Thunder matchup grades out the best as it features the highest implied total (by six points) and two squads that bleed fantasy points to opposing teams. The Wolves-Warriors and Clippers-Nuggets affairs are also highly intriguing, while […]

Lauri Markkanen Takes Jazz Past Spurs With 27 Points

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen produced a game-high 27 points as the team cruised past the Spurs 118-102 Saturday night. He shot 9-for-17 from the field with a 3-for-7 effort from downtown and had a perfect record at the charity stripe with six attempts. Markkanen's line also included four rebounds, two assists and two turnovers […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/25/23): NBA DFS Lineups

Welcome to Saturday, RotoBallers. We have a medium-sized slate on our hands tonight in the NBA as we have six games, featuring the Spurs-Jazz affair that currently holds an implied total north of 240 points. In an odd development, no star players are currently listed as questionable on the injury report. That can change in […]

Kelly Olynyk May Miss Matchup With Spurs

Utah Jazz forward Kelly Olynyk (ankle) is questionable ahead of Saturday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. The veteran had 12 points, seven rebounds, two steals, and a block in Thursday's overtime win over OKC. However, he is back on the injury report because of a right ankle sprain that's been nagging him for quite […]

Collin Sexton Sidelined Again On Saturday

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (hamstring) is out for Saturday's meeting with the Spurs. The 24-year-old has a left hamstring strain, an injury he picked up before the All-Star break. That said, Sexton is due to be re-evaluated on Monday, so assuming everything checks out, there's a chance he could be back soon. However, Talen […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/24/23): NBA DFS Lineups

The NBA returned last night after a full week off and there were no shortages of surprises as Damian Lillard was randomly rested and then Fred VanVleet was a last-minute scratch, too. I know a lot of folks are pretty disheartened by the NBA injury situation and all these guys resting, teams tanking, etc... But […]

The NBA is back, baby! After an entire week off, we get our precious association back in action with a healthy 9-game slate on a Thursday night.

I brought you into the break here at RotoBaller and I'll bring you out the other side as well. The Association is back with a robust nine-game slate to get us back in the mood after a week of stepping out with college kids and hockey players missing teeth. This is the time when players […]

Collin Sexton To Be Re-Evaluated Monday

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (hamstring) will be re-evaluated on Monday and has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Jazz also play on Saturday so it is likely Sexton will remain out for that game as well. Jordan Clarkson and Talen Horton-Tucker should see increased roles with Sexton still […]

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 […]

Frank Jackson, Kris Dunn To Sign 10-Day Deals

The Utah Jazz have signed guards Frank Jackson and Kris Dunn to 10-day deals. Jackson has played well in Utah's G-League affiliate this season. He should get a chance to show what he can do considering the Jazz aren't contending anyway. Jackson could have some deep league value depending on how big of a role […]

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 […]

Russell Westbrook Joins Clippers

Free-agent guard Russell Westbrook has decided to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers. The veteran guard is finalizing his contract buyout with the Utah Jazz. He took his time deciding, but will join a legitimate contender that could certainly use his help. The Clippers lack depth with Bones Hyland and Terance Mann as their only […]

Fantasy Basketball Buy, Sell, or Hold: Russell Westbrook, Derrick White, and Aaron Gordon

Trading in fantasy basketball can help you improve your team in the short, as well as in the long term. More than that, it's just plain fun. Negotiating with your mate, going back and forth with offers, and hopefully, reaching a mutually beneficial agreement in the end. It's not always easy to find the right […]

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 […]

Talen Horton-Tucker (SG, UTA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 19

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 6% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Jazz finally decided to sell the house, or at least some of it, before the deadline and into the home stretch of the season. Too bad (good?) for them, their starting shooting guard went down injured in their last game before […]

Terance Mann (SG, LAC) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 19

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Los Angeles Clippers have entered uncharted territory and moved to a full no-point-guard rotation with no natural no. 1 in their roster. Yes, you can consider recently acquired Bones Hyland a point, or Terance Mann one himself, but there is no […]

Collin Sexton Picks Up A Hamstring Injury

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton managed to log only four minutes in Wednesday's matchup against Minnesota, exiting the game with a left hamstring problem. Sexton's injury resulted in Ochai Agbaji logging 39 minutes in his second career start and Talen Horton-Tucker's re-emergence continued with an impressive 17-7-7 line off the bench in 32 minutes. With […]

Clippers Receive Permission To Talk To Russell Westbrook

Utah Jazz guard Russell Westbrook has yet to suit up since the deal that sent him from the Los Angeles Lakers to Utah. His name has been in the rumor mill as he's one of the most talented players currently hitting the buyout market. As reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Los Angeles […]

Rudy Gay Questionable For Wednesday's Game

Utah Jazz forward Rudy Gay (illness) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies. The veteran is battling an illness and could be out for only the second time in 2023. Gay is playing a very limited role for the Jazz, averaging fewer than 15 minutes per game, and his absence likely […]

Lauri Markkanen Questionable On Wednesday Against Memphis

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (knee) has been tagged as questionable with left knee soreness for their game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday. While the 25-year-old hasn't missed a game since mid-January, this could turn out to be the perfect time for a rest game ahead of the All-Star break. Fantasy managers will want […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 2/15/23 - Monkey Knife Fight

A modest 10-game slate Wednesday and since re-formatting this article, a few lines have already jumped with two surging over the 240-point mark (UTA @ MEM dropped back down to 239.5 since apparently, I write incredibly slow.) Regardless, Charlotte versus San Antonio and Memphis versus Utah will retain ridiculously high point-totals for good reason. At […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/15/23): NBA DFS Lineups

After a relatively quiet Tuesday night, we're right back to a massive 11-game ledger Wednesday. The ledger is loaded with attractive options all across the salary cap, which should make for a particularly fun night of lineup construction and tournament play in particular. That notion is further supported by the fact there are plenty of […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18 Include Jeremy Sochan, Josh Green, Dennis Schroder, Sam Hauser

Welcome back to RotoBaller's weekly fantasy basketball waiver wire column and schedule breakdown. We've reached the weird week that is All-Star week, which is actually two weeks long, but with a break in the middle for the All-Star Game itself. 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 […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/13/23): NBA DFS Lineups

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. We do have a couple of particularly large favorites, but the rest of the games project to be reasonably-to-very-competitive affairs if point spreads are any indication. Projected totals […]
