Kristaps Porzingis Questionable Again On Thursday Night

Washington Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) was a late addition to the injury report for the team's last game and now he's questionable for the second game in a row. The star big man is dealing with a non-COVID illness right now and it wouldn't be surprising if he had to sit out one more […]

Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 10

The second half of Week 10 is a bit of a challenge to navigate. There are only two games today, but some solid streaming options in them with various injuries to key players. A loaded Friday slate tomorrow is then followed by a day off for Christmas Eve and then five Christmas Day games. A […]

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 […]

Kristaps Porzingis Given The Late Questionable Tag On Tuesday

Washington Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) was tagged as questionable late into the afternoon on Tuesday before tipoff. The star big man seems to be dealing with a non-COVID illness and may not be able to suit up against a short-handed Phoenix Suns team. The fact that he went straight to questionable after not appearing […]

Deni Avdija (SF, WAS) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: First of all, I have to admit that I fell for Deni Avdija before he entered the NBA and ahead of the 2020 draft. I was high on him, and now that hype I built around his name if only inside my […]

Bradley Beal Returns With 29 Points

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal was back from a six-game absence on Sunday and led the team with 29 points in a 119-117 loss to the Lakers. He shot 9-for-17 for the night and had an 11-for-13 record at the charity stripe without hitting any triples. Beal's line included two rebounds, three assists and […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 10: Malik Monk, Kyle Anderson, Moritz Wagner

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 […]

Early-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 10

After a few really nice weeks in the NBA schedule we have officially arrived a Christmas week, which means we have a front-loaded schedule and a funky second half of the week where we only have two games on Thursday, no games on Saturday (Christmas Eve) and then just the five feature matchups on Christmas […]

Bradley Beal Tagged As Questionable For Sunday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The star guard has missed the last six games, but has a legitimate chance to suit up here. His return would send Corey Kispert to the bench, which would significantly hurt his fantasy value. Also, Will Barton and […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10 Include Thomas Bryant, Will Barton, Quentin Grimes, Naz Reid

Welcome back to RotoBaller's weekly fantasy basketball waiver wire column and schedule breakdown. How's this season going for you? Need some help with your team? Let's get you some!

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/18/22): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a five-game main slate in the Association. We can turn our attention to some true talent after the NFL dies down. We have a couple of huge injuries on this slate with Stephen Curry being out a month and Anthony Davis needing further evaluation on his foot. KAT is still out and Rudy […]

Bradley Beal Logs Full Practice Session Friday

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) was able to get in a full practice workload Friday, a step in the right direction for his availability as soon as Saturday's game vs. the Clippers. Beal has missed the previous five outings due to a right hamstring strain, which has allowed Corey Kispert to slide back […]

Kristaps Porzingis On Track To Suit Up Saturday

Washington Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis (back) is likely to make his return to action Saturday vs. the Clippers, head coach Wes Unseld Jr. announced Friday. Porzingis missed his second outing of the year Wednesday due to lower back tightness, which allowed Taj Gibson to shift into the starting five and Daniel Gafford to see added […]

Will Barton Scores 22 Points Off Of The Bench

Washington Wizards guard Will Barton contributed in a big way to the offense on Wednesday night. The tenth-year guard ended the game with 22 points, nine assists, two rebounds, and one steal as the Wizards dropped this contest against the Denver Nuggets. Barton has been quite inconsistent but serves as a quality spot-start candidate across […]

Right on Time: Ground-Floor Gems Worthy of Investment in Fantasy Basketball

As Potential Turns to Promise: Get in on the Ground Floor With every NBA season comes a cast of perennial All-Stars and wave-making rookies, but in a grey area outside of these two groups lies a set of high-potential players in the developmental stage, getting minimal minutes in NBA garbage time or bouncing back and […]

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 […]

Taj Gibson To Start On Wednesday

Washington Wizards center Taj Gibson will get the starting nod for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This seems a bit odd that Gibson moves into the starting five over Daniel Gafford. The Wizards are having Kristaps Porzingis sit this game out, so Gibson and Gafford should both play significant minutes. Gafford is the much […]

Monte Morris Back On Wednesday

Washington Wizards point guard Monte Morris (groin) will be back in action Wednesday against Denver. He is able to make a relatively quick return after sitting out only two games with a left groin strain. Jordan Goodwin started in his absence, and he did a good job, but the 24-year-old will likely now struggle to […]

Bradley Beal Out Again Wednesday

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) will remain out for Wednesday's meeting with the Nuggets. He will miss a fifth consecutive game, but Beal shouldn't be far from returning anymore, with him having cleared for on-court activities on Monday. Corey Kispert has been starting in Beal's absence and should remain in the starting unit […]

Kristaps Porzingis Ruled Out Wednesday

Washington Wizards forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (back) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against Denver. He was forced to exit Monday's meeting with Brooklyn due to lower back tightness and the issue hasn't yet fully cleared up. Porzingis is having a very strong season and his recent form has been particularly impressive, with the 27-year-old […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 12/14/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

With 10 games Wednesday night, so far only six are listed. With Toronto-Sacramento and San Antonio-Portland being two of the higher-scoring games, those will be the focus.

Kristaps Porzingis Feeling Better After Exiting Monday's Game

Washington Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis (back) exited Monday's loss to Brooklyn with back tightness. He did not return. Fortunately, he reported after the game that he spent the fourth quarter receiving treatment while adding he's feeling better. The 27-year-old has played exceptionally well in 2022-23, tying his career-high average of 22.7 points per game. With […]

Monte Morris Ruled Out For Monday

Washington Wizards guard Monte Morris (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The 27-year-old will sit this one out as he continues to deal with left groin soreness. As a result, Jordan Goodwin will see additional playing time and is worth adding in most fantasy formats right now. He is […]

Bradley Beal Resumes On-Court Activities

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) has been cleared to resume on-court activities, but remains sidelined for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Head coach Wes Unseld Jr. mentioned that Beal should be available at some point during the road trip that begins on December 14. The star guard is trending in the right direction, […]

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 […]

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 […]
