Tuesday brings us another decent slate of six games, but be warned that most of the games tonight are in jeopardy of being blowouts. If there was one game to stack it's the Nuggets-Clippers.

Since I have taken over the Monday and Tuesday Draftkings articles, we'll start strong. First off, stacking the Pelicans-Suns game will be your best bet, especially going in on Anthony Davis. The Pelicans are one of three teams on the second night of a back-to-back, the Pistons and Rockets being the others, but Davis is […]

There are seven games in total tonight, but FanDuel is only pulling players from six games, excluding the Orlando Magic - Philadelphia 76ers contest. Not that big of a deal, but the smaller slate of games means you are not going to be able to mess around when it comes to price. I am avoiding […]

Welcome back. The NBA has been gone too long and if you are like me, there has been a void in your life that the Olympics, MLB pre-season, and college basketball just cannot fill. Luckily, the Association is back and we have six games on what looks to be a very appealing slate. IF there […]

If you haven't noticed, there are only two games on the today's slate. That's because it is All-Star Weekend and these players are ready for a break.

Jake King-Finnen 7 years agoVictor Oladipo Gets Close To Quadruple-Double Territory
Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo easily had the most aesthetically-pleasing stat lines Sunday. He scored 30 points on 24 shots, along with eight rebounds, nine assists and a statistical cherry on top -- six steals. It was an incredibly effective game for Oladipo, and he carried the Pacers offense through Knicks run after run. He […]
Jake King-Finnen 7 years agoThaddeus Young Posts Double-Double In Win Over Knicks
Indiana Pacers forward Thaddeus Young had an impactful game against the Knicks. It wasn’t as impressive as Victor Oladipo nearing a quadruple-double, but owners should be pleased with Young’s impact now that the Pacers are back at full strength. Young is a fundamental defender and instinctual rebounder. The only problem with Young is that he […]
Jake King-Finnen 7 years agoJames Ennis Has Modest Pistons Debut
Detroit Pistons forward James Ennis had a promising debut but still carries minimal fantasy value. Ennis is too inconsistent of a scorer and is working his way into a new rotation, which seriously caps his upside. Even if he manages to earn consistent minutes, his entire career has been surrounded by shooting inconsistencies and hustle plays, […]
Jake King-Finnen 7 years agoReggie Bullock Raises His Fantasy Value Once Again
Detroit Piston forward Reggie Bullock continues to impress fantasy owners and fans alike. Bullock’s emergence started right before the Blake Griffin trade, and he has been an absolute gem since. He’s been an efficient shooter and for a minimal price, as he can lead the Pistons in scoring on any given night. He is primarily […]
Jake King-Finnen 7 years agoAndre Drummond Posts Another Massive Box Score
Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond had another big game, this time against the Hawks. The Pistons did not get the win, but that doesn’t matter. Drummond destroyed his projection and owned the box score. He’s established himself as the premiere rebounder in the NBA, and there are only so much that teams can do about […]
Jake King-Finnen 7 years agoLarry Nance Jr.'s New Role Hurts His Value
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. had a rough start to his Cavaliers career when it comes to fantasy, but he filled a much-needed rebounding role in the Cavaliers second unit. He will get minutes every night and his athleticism fits with the Cavaliers offense. His nightly production will be modest because Nance is more […]
Jake King-Finnen 7 years agoRodney Hood Scores 15 Points Against Celtics
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Rodney Hood scored 15 points in his Cavaliers debut and proved to be the exact security valve the Cavaliers needed off the bench. There’s a chance he could be bumped to the starting lineup, but until then he will be posting modest stat lines that are mainly points. Hood will be given […]
Jake King-Finnen 7 years agoJordan Clarkson Shines In First Game As Cavalier
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Jordan Clarkson started his Cavalier career with a bang. He scored 17 points on 11 shots and has claimed the throne as a bench spark plug. He was doing this for the Los Angeles Lakers, and owners will benefit now that he is playing in the East. Clarkson is known for being a […]
Jake King-Finnen 7 years agoGeorge Hill Has Underwhelming Debut
Cleveland Cavaliers guard George Hill scored 12 points in his debut win over the Celtics and left owners hoping for more. Granted, this is a point guard coming to a new team, and he will need a few games to assimilate. Hill is still known for his shooting and defense -- not the best attributes […]
Jake King-Finnen 7 years agoLeBron James Scrapes At Triple-Double
Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James neared a triple-double against the Celtics on Sunday in a dominating victory. James finally had his new, youthful acquisitions at his disposal and the Cavaliers looked like a rejuvenated squad, resulting in a beautiful stat line from James. The style of the team has not changed, but his arsenal has […]
Jake King-Finnen 7 years agoFanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/10/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
There are seven games on the slate tonight and most of them are enticing matchups. OUtside of the Mavericks-Lakers and Warrior-Spurs, there are no real "landmine" games that are sure to be low scoring. The Bulls-Wizards is full of value, but there is no gaurantee on who will be the most productive player. The Bulls […]
Jake King-Finnen 7 years agoTony Snell Has Not Scored In Two Games
Milwaukee Bucks forward Tony Snell has not scored in his previous two games and has only scored 10 points across his last four outings. As a defensive specialist, he is not required to score, but going 0-for-6 over your last two games isn't a promising stat either. This isn't a public outcry that Snell is […]
Jake King-Finnen 7 years agoDomantas Sabonis An Ideal Value Play Versus Celtics
Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis has been benefiting from injuries most of this season. On Friday, Sabonis and Thaddeus Young are in for high-usage nights against the Celtics. Now that the Pacers have an extended rest period due to Wednesday's postponed game versus the Pelicans, Sabonis and the rest of the Pacers have much-needed rest […]
Jake King-Finnen 7 years agoJose Calderon Will Start Against Hawks
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Jose Calderon is one of the few point guards left on the roster, and he will be getting the start Friday night. While the Cavaliers are going to have to wait until Sunday to unveil their new acquisitions, Calderon will be getting the bulk of the excess minutes in the meantime. He's […]
Jake King-Finnen 7 years agoTristan Thompson Should Be A Solid Play Versus Hawks
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Tristan Thompson has the chance to rebound (literally) against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night. He has been struggling to stay fantasy relevant as of late, but Friday he is going up against a very susceptible front court. While Dewayne Dedmon might be the experienced leader, he will be forced to handle more […]
Jake King-Finnen 7 years agoBlake Griffin In For First Revenge Game Of His Career
Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin has had this game marked since the second he found out he was traded. First off, the Clippers have nothing except their wits when it comes to guarding Griffin, so that's a plus right off the bat. It doesn't hurt that the Clippers defense is in the dead center of […]

Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored a team-high 20 points Thursday night against a Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony-less Thunder team. The entire Lakers had a fantastic night from the field and Pope barely outscored teammates Brandon Ingram, Julius Randle and Kyle Kuzma. While it was a very mediocre night stat-wise for the entire team, it […]

Only six games tonight so we'll get right into it. Tonight's specimen of games is arguably one of the better slates this week.

Unlike most of the country, we at RotoBaller NBA are not ready to concede our weekend to the NFL. There are still 15 NBA games left before the Super Bowl, including nine games today.

Not many games this Thursday so let's get right into it. With only five games and limited options, look for the highest paid options to be a necessary evil tonight.

One thing to notice about today's slate is the amount of games that are lined up to be high-scoring affairs. The Celtics, Thunder, and Mavericks are all slower-paced teams that are facing potent offenses that are capable of piling on points quickly. The Pistons will still be in for a challenge and the Mavericks will […]

Only four games on the slate tonight, so this will be a quick and easy run through of picks. There isn't ALL that much value out there, so instead of scraping at the bottom of the barrel, I'm giving you the picks that should simply exceed value. With a logjam of options at just about […]

We have a decent sized slate this Saturday, starting off with a Thunder-Cavaliers game only the All-Day DFS-ers will be utilizing. With the Cavaliers holding down the bottom of the defensive leaderboards and the Thunder slowly meshing their way to a top 10 offense, it's going to be hard not to roster Russell Westbrook and […]

There are only four games tomorrow so I am going to keep this simple. The Cleveland Cavaliers - Orlando Magic game is a goldmine for guards, and a here's fun little side-stat.
