The Toronto Raptors are in a must-win situation heading into Game 3 versus the Boston Celtics, while the Los Angeles Clippers start their series against the un-rested Denver Nuggets. After a series of powerful performances from Jamal Murray, it's unmistakable who the first and second options are in that offense heading into Game 1. Nikola... Read More

The NBA is back after a brief hiatus in support of social equality, and although it hasn't changed the fact that black americans are extremely discriminated against in this country, NBA players and other black athletes have marked the start of a revolution centuries overdue. Racism is evident and an inability to recognize the atrocities... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (8/22/20): NBA DFS Lineups
At one point last night, the air was sucked out of everyone's lungs, and all watching Mavericks-Clippers feared the worst. When Luka Doncic went down holding his ankle, barely able to put weight on it as he left the court, a speedy exit meant a quick return for the young king. It was deemed just... Read More
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (8/20/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
Immediately looking at the full roster for today, it's going to be a rough slate. Not in terms of determining the outcome, but more in trying to predict the value plays that are going to hit. Ben McLemore, Danny Green, Gary Clark, Gary Trent, and Justin Holiday all offer a ton of value, but their... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (8/15/20): NBA DFS Lineups
Single-game contests are a great way to get fully involved in a small slate, and one game Saturday doesn't give us any other options. While most fans are still wishing it were the Suns and Trail Blazers competing, this play-in game is a first for everyone and should give Damian Lillard another chance to make... Read More
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (8/14/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
Last night was the conclusion of one of the greatest storylines in modern NBA history. The league has never seen an obstacle like COVID-19, and how the players dealt with the bubble and an impromptu restart was going to be a enlightening experience about plenty of young and even experienced players. First off, all respect... Read More
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (8/13/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
With a seven-game slate Thursday, the playoff race has become more intense than ever. With the prospect of a play-in game, teams like the Trail Blazers and Suns have more to fight for than just seeding. Both teams need to keep winning games and if the cards fall in the right spot, the Suns could... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (8/9/20): NBA DFS Lineups
Just when the NBA makes you think the season is just about done from a competitive standpoint, one of the smallest slates since the restart turns out to be the best night of basketball in recent memory. Both the Clippers and Trail Blazers play the second-half-of-back-to-back games Sunday after playing each other Saturday afternoon, so... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (8/8/20): NBA DFS Lineups
With just five games on today's slate, it's the beginning of the end. There are no NBA games scheduled a week from today, and with the Western Conference playoff picture looking how it is, the fight for eighth is coming down to these final days, not to mention the play-in tournament is set to be...

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (8/6/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
Yesterday was the second slate of NBA DFS where unpredictable rotations and the solidified playoff picture has affected DFS production. First, the Bucks pulled their starters against the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday, and last night the Lakers seemingly played the Thunder like it was just a regular season game...which it was. Nothing wrong with resting... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (8/1/20): NBA DFS Lineups
After today, every team will have officially played one game and we will have a better understanding of rotations as each day goes on. So far, the rotations have made sense, outside of a few hiccups with the Pelicans and Mavericks. In both these games, Alvin Gentry and Rick Carlisle, respectively, didn't adapt to play... Read More
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (7/30/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
It's been too long. Hopefully this bubble turns into one of the few good ideas to come out of this quarantine and we can enjoy a few decent nights of basketball. Two game slates are never ideal since it guarantees repeated lineups, but it opens the door for low-priced sleepers to be the deciding factors.... Read More
Deep Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds (Week 21)
I know my editors hate how late I am with my articles, so I will keep this intro brief. (I blame my puppy for trying to shut my laptop every time he hears me type but...) Once again, we are getting to the end of the season and fantasy basketball is at it's peak. By... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/7/20): NBA DFS Lineups
Just a five game slate this Saturday, and already there is a clear emphasis on the importance of value tonight. With plenty of super-cheap options, if you don't ride the upside, someone will. Here's a perfect example for how tonight is going to play out. Gary Harris has been struggling this season, and although he... Read More
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (3/5/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
If you have been using RotoBaller’s Lineup Generator, you might have noticed the slight mishap that happens on night’s with small slates. With only four games being played, the generator is taking the best matchups, but we all know Jabari Parker isn’t even really playing for the Kings. Since his price caused the generated lineup...

Deep Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds (Week 20)
Initially, this intro was going to be another feature about the Miami Heat, but last night Shake Milton stole everyone's thunder and he is more than deserving of a few kind words. Milton was already mentioned in one of these articles a few weeks back, and finally this week, mainly due to injuries, he is... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/29/20): NBA DFS Lineups
A seven-game slate means we have a bit more flexibility with lineup construction, but that also means our sleeper picks need to be spot-on. There are a ton of options tonight, and even though Ricky Rubio's price is a little steep, this seems like a trap game for value plays. Jevon Carter, and a few other... Read More
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/27/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
There are four games on Friday night's slate, and already it's looking like Alex Caruso is up for a low-price, high-ownership night. Despite Caruso becoming a fan favorite among more than just Laker fans, his nightly production is fairly weak. Since he isn't a consistent shooter and his scoring seems to rely on dunks and... Read More
Deep Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds (Week 19)
This might come as a shock to some of you, but Jae Crowder has gone from fantasy irrelevance to, easily, a top standard league player. Over the past two weeks, however, he is posting first-round, top-12 production, despite being fairly new to the Heat. With this, many standard league players are selling high on Crowder... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/22/20): NBA DFS Lineups
With seven total games this Saturday, there are only six on the main slate. Nearly every game today is lined up to be a competitive contest, with the Heat-Cavaliers as the only game looking like it will be a blowout, based simply on numbers. James Harden versus the Jazz has the ability to go both... Read More
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/20/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
All-Star break and our break from NBA DFS is finally over. With the return of basketball, we have a six-game slate with one major play sticking out due to some recent injury news. Since Kyrie Irving re-aggravated a shoulder injury, Spencer Dinwiddie for just $6,900 against any defense is a steal. Specifically against the 76ers... Read More
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/13/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
With just two-games on the last slate before the All-Star break, what better way to enjoy it than watching all four teams play at the same time. Although the points favor a Thunder - Pelicans stack tonight, RotoBaller's NBA Lineup Generator is heavily favoring the Clippers - Celtics game. To help clear up why, even... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for Wednesday (2/12/19) - Monkey Knife Fight
With only two days left before the All-Star Break, players will be looking to make the most of their last game before the return to regular season action on February 20th. To give you an idea of how the night will go, look to target the Kings defense and Luka Doncic, the Denver defense who should... Read More
Deep Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds (Week 17/18)
This is going to be a very short week for standard fantasy leagues, but luckily every team is going to play at least once before the All-Star Break starts. If you are looking to make trades over this time, the earlier the better. The longer you wait, the more leverage you lose when it comes... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/8/20): NBA DFS Lineups
Another slate of eight games, but only one is really popping out as one to watch for. To be completely honest, with some of the recent referee-ing situations we've had the past nights, it's getting a tad annoying watching it all go down unopposed. All that aside, with the Eastern Conference experiencing a minor shakeup... Read More
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (2/6/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
With the trade deadline ending within 12 hours, there is no more need to worry about what unfortunately happened tonight. As many saw coming, Andre Iguodala is being traded. While not many can say they knew it would be to the Heat, alongside Jae Crowder and a few other Grizzlies, Iguodala is nonetheless on his... Read More
NBA DFS Prop Picks for Wednesday (2/5/19) - Monkey Knife Fight
As one of the top plays, Andre Drummond has been rolling in production and he faces one of the weakest frontcourts in the league Wednesday night. Normally, Drummond's ceiling is close to 20 points and 20 rebounds, but that number easily fluctuates depending on various factors. If he is playing a significant shot-blocker or high-volume... Read More
Deep Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds (Week 16)
The Portland Trail Blazers have had an interesting season to say the least. Not only have they been carried by Damian Lillard for the past month or so, but if it weren't for players like C.J. McCollum, Carmelo Anthony, Rodney Hood, and a few others stepping up at just the right time, this explosion from... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/1/20): NBA DFS Lineups
With Luka Doncic already listed as out for this game versus the Hawks, look for Kristaps Porzingis and Trae Young to run away with the production. The only problem with rostering Young tonight is that his price is just $100 above Damian Lillard, and over the past two weeks, there has been no one better... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/31/20): NBA DFS Lineups
If it wasn't annoying enough trying to wade through these waters the past few weeks with James Harden poor play, tonight we have LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, and Harden all with huge price tags that are going to force us to invest most of our salary in hopes they have a massive outing. Can't blame... Read More
