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 […]

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 […]
