DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/28/21): NBA DFS Lineups
Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! With the season finally underway, we are starting to see some rotations shake out. But, on the other hand, some coaches are playing an absurd amount of players from their squads. For example, on Tuesday, Jason Kidd used all 15 of his players to win over Houston. Then, last night, Wes Unseld Jr.... Read More
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
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (10/27/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
Happy Wednesday, RotoBallers! We're a full week through the NBA season now, I hope that it's treated you well.

Happy Tuesday, RotoBallers! The first week of the regular season is in the books, and it's time to make some sweeping overreactions. The Bulls will be 82-0 at the end of the year.

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. These recommendations are 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,... Read More
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...

Grayson Allen (SG/SF, MIL): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: I wrote so much about Grayson Allen's WW worthiness last year that ended losing the count at some point through the season. Allen, in case you don't know, was traded to the reigning-champs Milwaukee Bucks this past offseason in order to bulk a... Read More
Gary Trent Jr. (SG/SF, TOR): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of leagues ANALYSIS: I haven't really thought about it this way, but the Gary Trent Jr. for Norman Powell trade from last season was probably the most hockey-trade in the recent history of NBA transactions. No team lost, not team won, and things stayed pretty much the... Read More
Pat Connaughton (SG/SF, MIL): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: With Brook Lopez and Bobby Portis injured and expected to be out for a few days (already missed one and two games respectively), the Bucks seem to have moved into a downsized lineup using Giannis at C, Khris Middleton at PF, and Pat... Read More
Patty Mills (PG/SG, BKN): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of leagues ANALYSIS: I don't think, even you've been living under a rock for the past month, that you don't know about the whole saga surrounding Kyrie Irving and his anti-COVID-vax position. Let me boil it down to the simplest of terms for you: Irving is... Read More
Derrick Rose (PG/SG, NYK): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tom Thibodeau is still the head coach of the New York Knicks. That's it. That's all you need to know in order to have a solid reason for acquiring some shares of the current sixth-man and former great-Bull (MVP) Derrick Rose. I mean,... Read More
Raul Neto (PG, WAS): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Wiz decided to move on from Russell Westbrook this past offseason, and in doing so they revamped their roster as they acquired a ton of players from multiple places. This meant a change in Washington's philosophy of pairing Bradley Beal with another superstar,... Read More
Ricky Rubio (PG, CLE): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Cavs acquired Ricky Rubio earlier this summer while he was thriving in Toky with the Spanish national team, and the trade for the Spaniard seemed like a steal (not totally reasonable given his age and the presence of Collin Sexton/Darius Garland on the team)... Read More
Eric Gordon (SG/SF, HOU) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of leagues ANALYSIS: With a flurry of offseason moves, the Houston Rockets have declared that the rebuild is well and truly underway. They drafted four players in the first round of the NBA draft and told John Wall to rest up for an eventual mid-season trade.... Read More
Franz Wagner (SG/SF, ORL): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: Wagner was taken with the eighth overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, but he was never expected to start right out of the gates. But then Chuma Okeke got injured, and Wagner has stepped into the starting rotation. And he hasn't disappointed.... Read More

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/23/21): NBA DFS Lineups

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

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/21/21): NBA DFS Lineups
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...

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
