DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/22/22): NBA DFS Lineups

We only have two games in the Association because the NFL loves the attention on Thursday nights. We have the Spurs heading east on I-10 to face the Pelicans and Washington heading out to Utah to take on the upstart Jazz. We know that Brandon Ingram is still out and that Keldon Johnson likely won't […]

Collin Sexton Questionable Against The Wizards

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Washington Wizards. The 23-year-old has missed his previous seven games because of a hamstring strain. However, it appears he's at least moving in the right direction toward making his return. Sexton had been playing well while filling in Mike Conley in the […]

Kelly Olynyk Out On Thursday Night

Utah Jazz center Kelly Olynyk (ankle) won't play on Thursday against the Wizards, his third consecutive absence because of a sprained left ankle. Rookie Walker Kessler, who's averaged 9.3 points, 8.5 boards, and 2.3 blocks while shooting 81.8% from the field in his four starts this season, is expected to remain in the starting lineup. […]

Lauri Markkanen Hits Nine Threes On The Pistons

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen had himself a night in a 126-111 win over the Detroit Pistons. The 25-year-old cashed in 38 points on a crazy efficient 13-for-20 from the floor and 9-for-13 from deep. He also added five rebounds, one assist, and one steal across 36 minutes. This marks his seventh 30-point game of […]

Kelly Olynyk Remains Out Tuesday

Utah Jazz center Kelly Olynyk (ankle) will miss his second straight game Tuesday against the Detroit Pistons. Olynyk is dealing with an ankle sprain and the Jazz have no incentive to rush him back. Walker Kessler will continue to start alongside Jarred Vanderbilt while Rudy Gay should pick up some extra minutes off the bench. […]

Collin Sexton Sidelined Again On Tuesday

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (hamstring) still won't make his return on Tuesday night as he's officially ruled out for the game against the Detroit Pistons. This will be his seventh consecutive game missed with a hamstring strain. As he's been out, Nickeil Alexander-Walker has gotten a bump in minutes off of the bench and […]

Kelly Olynyk Ruled Out For Monday

Utah Jazz forward Kelly Olynyk (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. His streak of playing in 32 straight games will come to an end. It's uncertain whether Jarred Vanderbilt or Walker Kessler will get the start on Monday. Kessler has been better lately with some impressive blocking abilities. He'd […]

Collin Sexton Uncertain To Play On Monday

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (hamstring) is uncertain to suit up for Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The young guard has been sidelined for a week and a half due to a lingering hamstring issue. It would be great to see Sexton out there against his former team, but we'll have to wait and […]

After a week's break, it's time for the Rotoballer NBA fantasy watch list to lace up the digital sneakers and get back to work. A lot can happen in a week, especially in the NBA.

Collin Sexton Will Miss Fifth Straight Game Saturday

Utah Jazz point/shooting guard Collin Sexton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game vs. Milwaukee as he continues to work his way back from a strained right hamstring. Sexton had found his offensive rhythm prior to going down, scoring in double figures in nine straight outings (all starts). Malik Beasley and Nickeil Alexander-Walker have […]

Collin Sexton Considered Day-To-Day

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (hamstring) has been sidelined since December 7th, but continues making progress. The 23-year-old is dealing with a mild calf strain, but is considered day-to-day. Sexton didn't suit up on Thursday, but is ramping up his activities, so possibly he can play during their next contest. In the meantime, Nickeil Alexander-Walker […]

Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 9

We have four games today in the NBA and then a really solid 10-7-7 breakdown of games from Friday to Saturday that should allow optimal streaming for those who are willing to take the time to find the right players! I'm back to help you do that today with the latest installment of my mid-week […]

Collin Sexton Sitting Again For Rematch With Pelicans

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (hamstring) won't play on Thursday night for the rematch with the Pelicans, as expected. He's due to be re-evaluated sometime soon, so there's a chance he could be back in the next few games, assuming his recovery has trended in a positive direction. In the meantime, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who has […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/15/22): NBA DFS Lineups

We have four games for our Thursday slate this week, which is kind of nice. When you look at the injuries and the Heat and Clippers on a back-to-back, it becomes somewhat less enticing. Kawhi will probably sit or at least be limited. I'm going to write this with the assumption that he is out. […]

Lauri Markkanen Good To Go Again On Tuesday

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen has officially gotten off of the injury report after having to miss the team's last three games. His production has been sorely missed by the Jazz and it was probably missed even more by all of his fantasy managers. With his return to the starting lineup, Malik Beasley will likely […]

Collin Sexton Won't Suit Up Against Pelicans

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (hamstring) will remain sidelined against the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. The 23-year-old has missed his last two games due to a hamstring strain and it looks like he'll at least be missing one more. Utah has been very thin recently as their injury report has grown. Mike Conley […]

Jordan Clarkson Returns To Practice On Monday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (hip) was able to participate during Monday's practice. It's nice to see Clarkson back out there after he sat out of Saturday's contest. The hope is that Clarkson will be able to return to the starting lineup for Tuesday's game. His return will push Talen Horton-Tucker back to the second […]

Mike Conley Returns To Practice On Monday

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley was able to be a full participant during Monday's practice. He was held out of Saturday's game, which was the second leg of a back-to-back set. The expectation is that Conley is going to suit up for Tuesday's contest. His return should mean that Nickeil Alexander-Walker heads back to the […]

Lauri Markkanen Practices On Monday

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (illness) was able to return to practice on Monday. This is good news after Markkanen has missed each of the last three games with a non-COVID related illness. Malik Beasley has been replacing Markkanen in the starting unit and playing fairly well in his spot. The hope is that Markkanen […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/12/22): NBA DFS Lineups

We're set for a solid seven-game slate Monday night, one that many might consider an ideal size for the purposes of building tournament lineups in particular. The player pool is certainly large enough to differentiate in certain spots, and there are encouragingly six games with projected totals of at least 226 points as of early […]

Early-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 9

I thought last week's schedule was solid, but this week, we have probably the most balanced schedule that we have seen this year with no more than 10 games (10 on Wednesday) on any day this week and a really strong middle of the week with five games on Tuesday and four on Thursday. That […]

Malik Beasley (SG, UTA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of leagues ANALYSIS: The lovely Jordan Clarkson's legacy as Salt Lake City's very own Microwave Player is still alive and well, folks. Not until the Utah Jazz decide it is time for (finally and once and for all) tanking their way toward landing Wemby, Malik […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/11/22): NBA DFS Lineups

FanDuel and DraftKings feature six-game slates on this fine Sunday. There's only one team on a back-to-back, so we shouldn't see too many weird lineups scratches that we'll need to adjust to. The Kings, Lakers, and Bucks are in the best spots for daily fantasy production, but this slate is pretty wide open as no one […]

Kelly Olynyk (C, UTA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of leagues ANALYSIS: There are only two types of fantasy GMs and they are perfectly evenly split in ESPN leagues: those who like Kelly Olynyk (50 percent of them) and those who don't (the other half). Can't be more perfect than that, folks. Olynyk well […]
