Happy Tuesday, RotoBallers! I hope last night's slate of NBA DFS treated you well.

Fantasy Basketball Injury Updates for Week 17 - James Harden, Zach LaVine, De'Aaron Fox, Darius Garland, Malcolm Brogdon
Heads up that I'm getting to this early on Monday so I can watch the Bulls against the Suns and do my podcast for the game. Double-check the latest injury reports before you go full speed ahead on any adds. This should give you a quick, general idea though. Lots of strange, questionable injuries creeping... Read More
Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 17: Brandon Clarke, Willy Hernangomez, Gabe Vincent, Onyeka Okongwu
We're getting down to the wire here and you NEED to eke out wins here if your team is on the cusp of a playoff berth. There's no wiggle room as we're probably 2-3 weeks out from your league's playoffs in most competitive leagues. If your league isn't starting playoffs around this time, you're doing... Read More
Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 17: Isaac Okoro, Jaxson Hayes, Doug McDermott, Josh Richardson, Austin Rivers
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
DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/7/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
We have a much smaller slate than usual for a Monday this week, as only five games are on tap. There's also the potential for some lopsided results given the matchups, but there are still enough healthy players to give us plenty of viable options at each point on the salary scale. There's plenty to... Read More

Playoffs' are around the corner Playoffs' are around the corner Playoffs' are around the corner For me (and you)! Let's get that playoff berth and then win the whole thing! If you need help getting there, I'll do my best to assist. As always, I have taken a look ahead at the NBA schedule for... Read More
DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/6/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
Back-to-back five-game slates on the weekend in the NBA, and we have a very interesting one in store for tonight with Giannis and Luka at the top, a myriad of intriguing mid-to-high range plays, and scarce value. The Pelicans-Rockets and Bucks-Clippers affairs are profiling to be the top ones to target in our lineups as... Read More
Fantasy Basketball 9-Cat Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17 - Reggie Bullock, Darius Bazley, Javonte Green, Taurean Prince, Damian Jones
Welcome back to the waiver wire! Need to bolster your flailing team? We've got you covered. Maybe. We'll see. These recommendations are mainly for 9-cat leagues, but if you play in another format, there's a good chance that the information here can still help you. We'll be looking at centers, forwards, and guards whose low rostership... Read More
Duncan Robinson (SG/SF, MIA): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 53% of leagues ANALYSIS: Five games. That's the count. That's the count of matches D-Rob hasn't started (while he played, I mean) for the Heat this season, and it only happened in a 10-day span in which he was coming off a week-long absence. Robinson is... Read More
Nicolas Batum (SG/SF, LAC): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: For someone past his peak, Nicolas Batum keeps racking up starts on a nightly basis in this barren Clips squad. The Clippers might opt to make some moves and sell the house come trade-deadline day, and we'll see how that goes, but... Read More
Chuma Okeke (PF, ORL): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues ANALYSIS: After a month of play in which Chuma Okeke started 10 of 12 games (from mid-December to mid-January), the Magic sent Okeke back to the pine and trusted him to man a second-unit leading role. So far, so good for the second-year... Read More
Gary Harris (SG/SF, ORL): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: If you go check Gary Harris' fantasy profile you're going to think he's been a rather putrid option all season long. Makes sense on an FP/min basis considering Harris started every game (29 of them) from Nov. 20 to Jan. 26 while... Read More
Kevon Looney (PF/C, GSW): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: Another week, another set of starts for the Warriors center given the inexistent depth of the team at the big-man position. Seriously. With Draymond Green expected to miss three or four more weeks and James Wiseman not even on the radar, it's... Read More
Javonte Green (PG/SG/SF, CHI): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: Coby White and Zach LaVine are day-to-day casualties as I'm writing this on Saturday. Not that this is the main reason for Javonte Green to become an important part of the Bulls lineup, though, as Green has started the last 18 games... Read More
P.J. Tucker (SF/PF, MIA): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: I don't even know how I landed on P.J. Tucker, but here we are now I guess... Tuck Tuck is most definitively a winning asset to have around in an NBA squad. Now, in a fantasy team? That's more of a question... Read More
DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/5/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
We have a typically-small five-game Saturday slate on tap tonight, and it's not going to be the easiest night to dissect as value appears to be slim outside of OKC. The top two games to target look to be the Bucks-Blazers and Heat-Hornets as those matchups hold high totals and weak defense on the Blazers... Read More
DraftKings College Basketball DFS Lineup Picks for 2/5/22 - CBB Daily Fantasy Advice
We have another big slate with 12 games on the main slate today. We have a huge 10-game afternoon slate as well. It's going to be a big day of college basketball! I'm going to cover both of them today and see what we get out of that. We begin at noon with Illinois heading... Read More
DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/4/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
Happy Friday RotoBallers! As usual, we have a jam-packed Friday night slate, filled with some juicy matchups. These articles focus on the overall best plays, which are typically more suited for cash games. However, with larger slates like this one, you don't have to worry about ownership getting steamed up too hard usually, so consider... Read More
DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/3/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
With the NFL off for a whole week before the Super Bowl, the NBA has center stage in the sports world. We have a solid 7-game slate for a Thursday and some really compelling games to attack tonight.

DraftKings College Basketball DFS Lineup Picks for 2/2/22 - CBB Daily Fantasy Advice
We have another big slate with 12 games tonight. There aren't the marquee matchups of last night, but overall, the 12 here should provide more DFS goodness. The Florida-Missouri game starts before slate lock now, so DraftKings has decided to pull that game from the pool. At least all of the players are highlighted in... Read More
Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 16: Hassan Whiteside, Luke Kennard, Bismack Biyombo, Chuma Okeke
If you're one of those fantasy basketball players that sets a lineup at the beginning of the week, checks out, and then comes back seven days later to see how things shook out, this post is not for you. This is for those who are grinding through each day and keeping track of categories as... Read More
Fantasy Basketball Injury Updates for Week 16 - LaMarcus Aldridge, Kristaps Porzingis, Domantas Sabonis, Joe Ingles, LeBron James, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Bradley Beal
Getting to this a little later on Monday, so this should be mostly up to date as of Tuesday morning when this publishes. Only three or four weeks left in most fantasy basketball leagues that are serious, so let's use this info while we have it to figure out who we can stream or who... Read More

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/31/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
We have an eight-game late on tap Monday night, and although there are only two games between teams with winning records, oddsmakers are projecting a competitive ledger overall if points spreads are more or less accurate. From a DFS perspective, we could certainly benefit from the fact some of the very worst defensive teams in... Read More
NBA Waiver Wire Streamers for Fantasy Basketball Week 16 (Jan 31 - Feb 6)
We're nearly at the finish line, and most of us are scrambling to try and get the best possible position for the playoffs (or just to make them at all). This means there's little to no room for error. The same applies to our players, especially those end-of-the-bench guys who you can afford to drop... Read More

Welcome back to the waiver wire! Need to bolster your flailing team? We've got you covered. Maybe. We'll see.

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 16: Garrison Mathews, Corey Joseph, Reggie Bullock, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Austin Rivers
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
