Brandon Clarke (PF, MEM): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS: Believe it or not, Memphis keeps on doing it, folks. The Griz are already third in the West and are just hours removed from defeating Utah on Friday night as I'm writing this on Saturday morning. Memphis is 3.5 games ahead of... Read More
Devin Vassell (SG/SF, SAS): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 34% of leagues ANALYSIS: While Devin Vassell's role in Pop's Spurs wasn't great last season, it wasn't bad either with Vass playing 62 games and 17 MPG. He's stepped up his game this season with a healthier dose of games and minutes as he's played in 42... Read More
Amir Coffey (SF, LAC): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: If you were surprised to find Amir Coffey featured in last week's WW posts, I might have understood that reaction. This week, though, no chance. Coffey has started the last 12 Clippers games through Friday logging an average of 32 MPG on that dozen... Read More
Hamidou Diallo (SG/SF, DET): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: After coming off the pine for the first month-and-change of the season, Hamidou Diallo found a place in Detroit's starting lineup and has yet to surrender it. It's been 23 starts and going from Dec. 12 on and that doesn't feel like... Read More
Caleb Martin (SG/SF, MIA): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: Can't lie about Caleb Martin's situation in Miami after Jimmy Butler came back a couple of weeks ago. Martin was sent to the pine the minute Jimmer was back, yes, and that lowered his appeal and his upside a bit, yes, but... Read More
Kevon Looney (PF/C, GSW): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 33% of leagues ANALYSIS: Unless the Warriors defy the odds and trade for a big man (won't happen), Kevon Looney is going to stay put at the starting C spot while/at least until James Wiseman is fully recovered and available for GSW (which he might still... Read More
Otto Porter Jr. (SF/PF, GSW): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 44% of leagues ANALYSIS: I'm not sure most fantasy GMs out there thought about Free-Agent Otto Porter Jr. becoming 2022 Otto Porter Jr. In other words, OPJ is besting all projections, has become a bona fide rotation player for the Warriors, and even with Klay Thompson...

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/25/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
Happy Tuesday, RotoBallers! A surprisingly-big eight-game Tuesday slate follows an unusually-small Monday night for the NBA. However, with the NFL winding down (at least in the number of games), basketball can begin to spread its matchups throughout the week more evenly. So as the season moves past the halfway point, I'll be looking forward to... Read More

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/24/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
We have an unusually compact four-game slate for a Monday night, and it's one that has an even narrower player pool than it already would because of the absences of a number of key players. As such, it will be impossible to avoid some risks when building lineups for cash or tournaments, even as the... Read More
Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 15: Torrey Craig, Rodney McGruder, Day'Ron Sharpe, Caleb Martin
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 Category Streamers for Week 15: Justin Holiday, Nerlens Noel, Kevon Looney, Bismack Biyombo, Danilo Gallinari
I'm still pissed off about my Bulls losing to the Orlando Magic, but at least in fantasy Magic, I'm holding it down. I guess we all have to be good at something, right? Let's see how our top picks last week fared: Nicolas Claxton (FG%, N/A INJ), Danilo Gallinari (FT%, 10th-round value), Coby White (PTS... Read More
DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/23/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups
We have nine games over on the main slate tonight, highlighted by the monster implied totals and fast projected paces of the Hawks-Hornets and Nets-Timberwolves contests. The Sixers-Spurs, Jazz-Warriors, and Lakers-Heat games also have their share of fantasy appeal, while the Grizzlies-Mavericks game and the Magic and Pistons don't look to be attractive targets tonight....

Justin Holiday (SG/SF, IND): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 44% of leagues ANALYSIS: Justin Holiday has been a staple of Indiana's starting lineups all season long and that is not going to change any time soon unless he gets moved or Indy lands another wing before the deadline that moves Holiday to the bench. Holiday... Read More
Amir Coffey (SF, LAC): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues ANALYSIS: We've reached a point of no return when it comes to accepting Amir Coffey and his role in the Clippers. Coffey is here to stay, full stop. Paul George is out and could miss the whole season. Kawhi Leonard recently brought news of... Read More
Hamidou Diallo (SG/SF, DET): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: See, the Pistons might be going nowhere any time soon barring landing Ben Simmons on that "leaked" offer that would send Bey/Grant/Olynyk the other way. That doesn't mean they don't have a clear plan when it comes to the near-future: stay on... Read More
Brandon Clarke (SF/PF, MEM): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of leagues ANALYSIS: Brandon Clarke is playing fewer minutes per game than in the prior two seasons he spent in the NBA.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of leagues ANALYSIS: I was the first one to tell you about Chris Duarte all the way back to the start of the season. The rostership was measly back then, so Duarte was a must-add in pretty much all leagues at the start of his... Read More
