Welcome to the RotoBaller NBA Recap. In this feature, we will highlight a few key fantasy basketball takeaways from the games played during last night's slate. These viewpoints can be both positive and negative and will hopefully help to provide insight into different roster moves you should consider making based on trends and statistical nuggets […]

Juan Toscano-Anderson (SF/PF, GSW): Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: If I'm honest here, I never thought Juan Toscano-Anderson would stick in the NBA long-term. That seems to not be quite the correct prediction these days, though. While it is true that Golden State is going through a period in which the team […]

Jalen Brunson (PG/SG, DAL): Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: In a season in which the Mavs are performing a little bit below expectations--they come off putting up the best offensive performance ever in 2020--they have been forced into a constant search of solutions to their woes. One of better contributors of late, which […]

Dorian Finney-Smith (SF/PF, DAL): Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: Dorian Finney-Smith has yet to come off the bench in a single game this season. Believe me, because that's absolutely true through Friday's slate of games. DFS has played 18 matches so far this season starting at either the PF (first half of […]

Jakob Poeltl (C, SAS): Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues ANALYSIS: With LaMarcus Aldridge out since the end of Feb. 1 game against Memphis, it's been all Jakob Poeltl at the center spot for the Spurs. Is he the future of the team at the position? Hard to know yet, but the 25-year-old is […]

Paul Millsap (PF/C, DEN): Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of leagues ANALYSIS: You might like this, or you might not, but there is nothing false about it: Denver is fixed on starting veteran Paul Millsap and that won't change any time soon. Millsap has started every game for the Nuggets, and after the departures of […]

James Ennis III (SG/SF, ORL): Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: If you watched the Warriors vs. Magic game a few days ago, you probably don't want to know anything about Ennis. Steph Curry switched onto him on a bunch of plays and cooked him with gusto... on defense. On offense, though, Ennis was […]

Alex Len (PF/C, WAS): Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: You must know the story by now. Alex Len started the season with the Raptors, played seven games and almost no minutes at all for them, and then was cut. Days after that, Washington added him to its roster to make up for […]

Josh Hart (SG/SF, NO): Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Pelicans seem to be active in the selling market. Both Lonzo Ball and JJ Redick are being dangled around to see who baits, and reports are saying that NOLA is also trying to package those two with more players to send them […]

Cody Zeller (C, CHA): Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of leagues ANALYSIS: While the Hornets didn't enter the season projecting to close it as a bottom-dweller, truth is they were never into much of a postseason conversation. The incredible talent of LaMelo, paired with the addition of Gordo and the combo-guards Rozier and Graham has […]

Jae'Sean Tate (SG, HOU): Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: Had you told me back in November that Houston will be starting and playing Jae'sean Tate 13 consecutive times and 27+ MPG from mid-January to mid-February, I'd have probably called you a fool. But here we are, folks. And the Rocks are proving […]

MMA DFS Value Picks - UFC 258: Usman vs. Burns (Premium Content)

Sometimes I think we don't deserve the UFC. This is one of those moments. The promo is putting together a "numbered" event and with it a title-fight less than a month from the last time we got to watch Conor McGregor's comeback in UFC 257. I know, I know, that even didn't include any belt […]

Fantasy Basketball Deep League Adds: Week 8

The deeper a fantasy 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 help […]

Welcome to the RotoBaller NBA Recap. In this feature, we will highlight a few key fantasy basketball takeaways from the games played during the past week. These viewpoints can be both positive and negative and will hopefully help to provide insight into different roster moves you should consider making. Fantasy basketball has a lot of […]

Malik Monk (PG/SG, CHA): Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Hornets have been without guard Terry Rozier for the past few games, and that has put LaMelo Ball in the starting lineup. That has also started a chain of lineup moves that impacted Monk, who leading up to Jan. 30 had only […]

Gorgui Dieng (PF/C, MEM): Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: You won't believe this, but Gorgui Dieng is one of only 30 players earning the top-salary of their respective franchises in the NBA. Dieng is far from being the highest-paid player, sure, but he's got the max. salary among Grizzlies at $17.2M and […]

Theo Maledon (PG, OKC): Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Thunder are screwed. Just this past Friday, OKC had to endure a game in which they could only count on eight warm bodies, the league minimum to go ahead with a scheduled matchup, due to COVID-related issues and health and safety protocols. […]

Patty Mills (PG, SAS): Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of leagues ANALYSIS: I will never grow tired of watching Patty Mills plays basketball, and I only hope he keeps doing it for five or ten more years, as stupid as that sounds and would be. Mills, although it seems he's been around for 25 years, […]

Wayne Ellington (SG/SF, DET): Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS: Veteran Piston Wayne Ellington has been flying under the radar for far too long this season. It took a streak of great three-point performances from him to put fantasy GMs on notice, although just one of each four of those playing in Yahoo […]

Jarred Vanderbilt (SF/PF, MIN): Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: While Vanderbilt enjoyed a late-January stretch in which he started six games in a row, he's been back on the pine for the past five through Friday. Karl-Anthony Towns has no timetable for his potential return, though, which should keep the door at […]

JaMychal Green (PF/C, DEN): Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: It took time, and it won't happen often with Paul Millsap squeezing his last drops of basketball in Denver, but JaMychal Green finally started a game for the Nugs this past Thursday against the Lakers. In 29 minutes, all Green did was put […]

Jae'Sean Tate (SG, HOU): Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tate has started the last nine games Houston has played from Jan. 20 on, and 11 of the last 12 expanding back to Jan. 14. Although his minutes of playing time have fluctuated from a low of 17 to a high of 37, […]

Naz Reid (C, MIN): Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 30% of leagues ANALYSIS: If/When Karl-Anthony Towns come back from his COVID scare, Reid will definitely lose all of his appeal. Wait a minute, are we sure of that? Sure, the two games in which Reid and KAT shared the floor this season (KAT has only played […]

Justin Holiday (SG/SF, IND): Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: Thirteen. That's the number of games Justin Holiday has started for the Pacers this season, all of them in a row going back to Jan. 11 and with an average playing time of 33 MPG. Not bad for someone part of fewer than […]

DraftKings MMA, UFC DFS Lineup Picks - Overeem vs. Volkov (UFC Vegas 18)

I don't even know when was the last time the UFC held an event other than in Abu Dhabi (the mighty Fight Island) or Las Vegas. In fact, I know, and it was not very recently, which tells you all you need to know about how this shitty COVID pandemic is no bueno. But we're […]
