Fantasy Basketball Injury Updates for Week 2
Just like Russell Westbrook starting slow on a new NBA team, injuries are an inevitability in NBA basketball these days. But like my Uncle Ben always said, "With great injuries comes great opportunities." Don't sue me, Sony. Or Marvel. Not entirely sure how that cluster of intellectual property works anymore. In fantasy hoops, one man's... Read More

Happy Wednesday, RotoBallers! We're a full week through the NBA season now, I hope that it's treated you well.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (10/27/21): MLB DFS Lineups
Happy Wednesday, Rotoballers! Last night, the Braves bombed their way to an early advantage and swiped Game 1, and home field, from the Astros. Framber Valdez never looked comfortable (just like the ALCS Game 1) and was pulled early. Meanwhile, Charlie Morton was in total control, but a lousy bounce caused a broken fibula, and now...

We are finally to Game 1 of the 2021 World Series! How many of you had the Astros and Braves penciled in for this classic? I'm guessing not many. This should be an entertaining series. We are in showdown mode the rest of the way. We have at least four chances to finish off the... Read More

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 2: Doug McDermott, Jordan Nwora, Raul Neto
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... Read More
Fantasy Basketball 9-Cat Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2
The NBA is back, y'all! Hopefully the first week of fantasy basketball treated you well. If it didn't — well, we're here for you.

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (10/24/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
What a night it was on Saturday around the National Basketball Association. The Cavaliers, sans Darius Garland, managed to rally behind a 23-point effort from Ricky Rubio to take down the Atlanta Hawks. The Heat, who didn't have Kyle Lowry in the lineup, traveled to Indianapolis for a meeting with the Pacers. Yet, the 30-point,... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/24/21): NBA DFS Lineups
We have a fairly light slate with the NFL still the center of the sports universe on Sunday. With it comes smaller tournaments on DraftKings, but there are still some ways out there to come away with more than we put in. We have five evening games after the afternoon tilt. We start off in...

Hassan Whiteside (PF/C, UTA): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Jazz have been one of--if not the--most continuist teams this offseason when it comes to changing things around its rotation. One of the very few changes of names (not roles, mind you) was that in which Utah flipped Derrick Favors for Hassan Whiteside.... Read More
Gorgui Dieng (PF/C, ATL): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: Did you know Gorgui Dieng is now a member of the Atlanta Hawks? He’s on his fourth team in the last three years but looks to be locked into the backup center role behind starter Clint Capela. That is at least until second-year... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/23/21): NBA DFS Lineups
Welcome to the weekend, RotoBallers! Friday night's slate provided some interesting nuggets to put in our back pockets moving forward. Kevin Durant absolutely feasted with 73.75 DK points against the 76ers, Scottie Barnes put up 45.75 DK points and continues to be underpriced, Christian Wood posted 61 DK points against an overmatched Thunder frontcourt, and Spencer...

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (10/23/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
It was a fantastic Friday night throughout the association. Kevin Durant, James Harden, and the Nets went into enemy territory and overcame a fourth-quarter deficit, defeating the 76ers at the Wells Fargo Arena. In the end, Durant would go on to finish as arguably the top fantasy option on the slate by amassing a decisive... Read More

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (10/22/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
Happy Friday, RotoBallers! I hope your first week of NBA DFS has been profitable so far. I've found myself navigating through these smaller slates better than expected. Last night was rather interesting, with the likes of Eric Bledsoe and Tyler Herro taking down tournaments. Smaller slates like last night create a lot of variances but... Read More

Happy Friday, Rotoballers! The entire ALCS was flipped on its head within 24 hours as the Astros took games 4 and 5 to put themselves in the driver's seat for their third World Series appearance in the last five years. Still, Boston is more than capable of winning two straight, and I expect another back and... Read More

Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! Tuesday provided a two-game appetizer for the season, but it all kicked off last night with 11 games. It was a joy to see so much basketball on our screens after three months off (minus the Olympics), and I can't wait to get into the nitty-gritty grind of another NBA season. However, four...

The Braves are in L.A. for a chance to play their way into the World Series. They took a commanding 3-1 series lead at Chavez Ravine last night on the back of Eddie Rosario. The ALCS is on a travel day, so we shift into showdown mode for tonight's tilt at Dodger Stadium. For showdown... Read More
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (10/20/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
The NBA is back and we started off last night with two great matchups on paper but ended up with only one really competitive game. The Bucks look scary once again this year, and it looks like Giannis will be a $12.5K+ player for the majority of this season. Tonight we have our first big... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/20/21): NBA DFS Lineups
It was absolutely fantastic to see the NBA return Tuesday but let's be real, the two-game slate was such a tease. Thankfully, we're in for a treat on Wednesday with 11 games on tap. Because more than half of the teams in the league will be in action, building out a winning lineup is going... Read More

Happy Wednesday, Rotoballers! After a wild ninth inning, the Astros and Red Sox play Game 5 of the ALCS less than 16 hours after ending Game 4. Houston exploded for seven runs in the ninth inning to tie the series at two, and they will try to steal one more game in Boston before the series... Read More
Fantasy Basketball 9-Cat Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 1
The NBA season starts on Tuesday, y'all, and we're back here at RotoBaller with some waiver wire add -- or, I guess, some last-minute targets before the season starts, since you probably aren't technically doing waivers yet.
