Bennedict Mathurin (SF, IND) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of leagues ANALYSIS: I guess I will just assume Bennedict Mathurin's rostership will never break the 60-percent barrier in his rookie season. If it hasn't at this point, it just never will ROS even if that doesn't make sense at all. Mathurin keeps playing off-the-pine minutes […]

Jordan Clarkson Ruled Out For Saturday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This is a significant blow to the Jazz because Clarkson has been huge for them this season. His absence should mean more scoring chances for Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Malik Beasley. Over the last two games, Beasley has scored […]

Lauri Markkanen Ruled Out For Saturday

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The 25-year-old continues to deal with a lingering illness that will cost him at least one more game. In the meantime, Malik Beasley is looking like a must-start fantasy option. He has 41 points over the last two […]

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

It's a glorious Saturday and the NBA has treated us with seven games for the main slate tonight. The Celtics-Warriors game should be a gold mine for DFS production, but don't sleep on the Jazz-Nuggets affair as that one is projecting to be a shootout. Half of the teams in action are playing in the […]

Lauri Markkanen Unavailable Friday

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (illness) hasn't recovered in time for Friday's tilt against Minnesota. He missed Wednesday's matchup against the Warriors with a non-COVID illness and there were hopes of him getting healthy for Friday, with the team initially listing him as questionable for the game, but Markkanen hasn't been able to shake off […]

Mike Conley Cleared To Play On Friday

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (knee) has been officially cleared to make his return to the court on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is great news after Conley has missed the last nine games due to a knee injury. The expectation is that Conley is going to immediately slide back into the starting unit. […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/09/22): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Friday, RotoBallers! I hope you all had an excellent week to this point, and a great weekend is forthcoming! Let's get ahead of the weekend by making some nice coin on tonight's NBA slate. I missed you all last week but had to take care of some personal business. I'm now back and feeling […]

Lauri Markkanen Questionable For Friday

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (illness) is considered questionable for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He sat out of their last game, which resulted in Walker Kessler drawing the start. The rookie big man finished with 10 points and 12 rebounds across 24 minutes in that spot start. The expectation is that he'll be […]

Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 8

We have three games in the association today, which creates an ideal opportunity for streamers if you want to get a leg up on your competition heading into the weekend. Most leagues limit how many adds you can make each week in daily leagues. If your league only allows three moves per week, you need […]

Mike Conley Won't Return On Wednesday

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (knee) was hopeful to get back on the court for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The veteran guard has missed the last eight games, but is making progress. Despite that, the Jazz will have Conley sit out at least one more game. That being said, Collin Sexton will […]

Lauri Markkanen Has Been Ruled Out Against Warriors

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (illness) will end up not playing on Wednesday night against the Golden State Warriors. On top of his absence, the team will be without Mike Conley which means a lot of offensive usage that opens up for the remaining healthy players. Malik Beasley would be a great streaming option if […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/7/22): NBA DFS Lineups

We've got a typically robust 11-game Wednesday night slate on tap, and even with some notable injuries thinning the player pool a bit, there are still plenty of appealing selections to work with at different price points, as well as nine games with projected totals of 225 points or more. There are some very good […]

Mike Conley Could Return On Wednesday

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (knee) is questionable ahead of Wednesday's contest against the Warriors. The veteran has missed his previous eight games because of a knee injury, allowing Collin Sexton to take his spot in the rotation. The former Cavalier has averaged 17.1 points in nine starts this season. While Conley would presumably return […]

Mike Conley Hopeful To Return On Wednesday

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (knee) is hopeful to return to the court for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The 35-year-old hasn't played since November 19th due to a lingering knee issue. However, it sounds like the veteran guard is ready to return after an eight-game absence. His return would likely send Collin […]

Early-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 8

This week, we have probably the best schedule that we've seen so far this year! Games are spread out nicely with only Wednesday and Friday being loaded up with 11 and 10 games, respectively, and we get three games on Tuesday and Thursday so there are no totally dead days either. And the weekend games […]

Mike Conley Remains Sidelined For Saturday

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This comes as no surprise considering Conley hasn't played since November 19th due to a left popliteus strain. The rebuilding Jazz really have no reason to rush the veteran guard back onto the court. In the meantime, […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/3/22): NBA DFS Lineups

Jordan Clarkson Enjoys Hot Shooting Night On Wednesday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson had another scoring outburst on Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. The veteran combo guard posted 33 points, four rebounds, and five assists on 10-for-18 shooting overall and 5-for-9 shooting from beyond the arc. Clarkson has been a great fantasy source for points and threes, but he hasn't delivered […]

Kelly Olynyk (C, UTA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 32% of leagues ANALYSIS: Danny Ainge fooled everybody this summer. Yes, he traded Rudy Gobert away from a good bunch of youngsters and draft picks. He doubled down on that moving from Donovan Mitchell and adding another handful of players and draft assets to the fold. […]

Malik Beasley (SG, UTA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues ANALYSIS: A Sixth Man of the Year candidate (and, let's be honest, most-probable winner judging by what has happened to date) rostered in fewer than half of all ESPN leagues!? Give me all of those shares! With the Utah Jazz still keeping their record […]

Mike Conley Will Miss Another One On Saturday

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (left popliteus strain) will miss his fourth straight game on Saturday against Phoenix. As a result, Collin Sexton should continue to fill the void in the lineup. The former Cavalier has averaged 14.8 points and 6.0 assists in four starts this season. While Sexton's shooting percentages need to improve, he's […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (11/26/22): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a tiny three-game slate on tap in the NBA tonight after 28 teams were in action yesterday. Each of the six teams playing tonight will be playing in their second game of back-to-back sets, which means we could see some funky lineup scratches that we'll need to adjust to as we move throughout […]
