The Grass Isn't Greener: NBA Free Agency Fallers
Free agency can be a great opportunity for players to find new homes that mesh with their playing styles and help them achieve their potential. But it can also be a chance for players to think they're doing that and then wind up in a bad situation where they're unable to find NBA success. This... Read More
Fantasy Basketball Outlook: Oklahoma City Thunder
There is no doubt that the team who has gone through the biggest offseason overhaul this year has been the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Fantasy Impact: How the Warriors Adjust Without Klay Thompson
The entire NBA and its fanbase got a punch in the gut a few weeks ago when Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson suffered a torn Achilles in preseason workouts. Klay missed the entire 2019-2020 season after that awful injury in the NBA finals and was set to play a huge role once again on a... Read More
The Grass Is Greener: NBA Free Agency Risers for Fantasy Basketball
Free agency in the NBA is the wildest free agency in sports, which means that a ton of players have switched teams this year. While there wasn't as much big-name movement as there were in other seasons, plenty happened in free agency this year, shaking up the landscape of the NBA and, of course, the... Read More

2020 NBA Mock Draft - RotoSurgeon's Fantasy Spin
The 2020 NBA Draft is drawing near and one of my favorite yearly rituals is reading about young players I typically forgot watching in NCAA games in mock drafts.

The NBA allowed trading to begin on Monday, and by the end of the night, the Milwaukee Bucks had reshaped their entire team, while the Rockets looked poised to begin a long rebuild. With the NBA draft and the start of free agency on the horizon, let's try to make sense of what all of... Read More

The return of the NBA is rapidly approaching and it looks like we are going to have several months to play NBA DFS!

Buy, Sell, or Hold: OG Anunoby and Eric Bledsoe
Playoffs are around the corner and it's time for those final tweaks to our rosters to make them just right. As always, using player's good form to get back more than he's worth is a good way to go. OG Anunoby is one of the guys you can try and swap for a boost in... Read More
Buy, Sell, or Hold: Kyle Lowry and Jaren Jackson Jr.
Trade deadlines are fast approaching. The time is ticking away, and if you don't make a move now, you might not get the chance to. Of course, don't let the heist misguide you. Have a cool head and let the ticking clock impact the judgment of your trade partners. If a player of yours is... Read More
Buy, Sell, or Hold: John Collins and C.J. McCollum
If you make the right move at the right time you can drastically improve your team for the rest of the season. Swapping an in-form player who you don't expect to keep shining for a slumping star who is about to turn it around even though his owner has already given up on him can... Read More
Buy, Sell, or Hold: Damian Lillard and Tobias Harris
The NBA trade deadline is looming, but that's not necessarily the case for fantasy leagues. Most of us still have the opportunity to improve our teams through some clever wheeling and dealing. And what better to do than to try and turn your in-form player into a more valuable guy who isn't at his best... Read More
Buy, Sell, or Hold: Khris Middleton and Karl-Anthony Towns
Trading is an integral part of both NBA and fantasy basketball. As the whole sports world mourns the death of the great Kobe Bryant, it is hard to imagine him in any other outfit except purple and gold. But if the Lakers hadn't had such great vision and traded Vlade Divac for him back in... Read More
Buy, Sell, or Hold: Nemanja Bjelica and Eric Bledsoe
Trading your player when he is on a hot streak is a legitimate way to obtain better talent by the use of only your negotiating skills and player's forms. If you can combine that with a player who is ice-cold at the moment but is just about to turn things around, and you might end... Read More
Buy, Sell, or Hold: Robert Covington and Kemba Walker
Surging players are always great trade bait, and if you do your fishing right, after their explosion is over you could end up with a nice catch. For this to be successful, one should always keep an eye out for players' forms and take advantage of their own player's hot streak and another, more valuable... Read More
Buy, Sell, or Hold: Derrick Favors and Ricky Rubio
I love wheeling and dealing in my NBA leagues. It's often quite difficult to persuade a rival to do a trade that will give your team additional value. That's when you use the current form to try and get away with the better deal. Trading away a player who strung together a couple of great... Read More
Buy, Sell, or Hold: LaMarcus Aldridge and Jamal Murray
Who's hot and who's not? Who is the guy who is vastly overperforming expectations? Who is slumping hard and should bounce back any day now? And what to do with them? LaMarcus Aldridge is playing his heart out lately and it is helping his Spurs creep into a playoff spot at the moment. But will... Read More
Buy, Sell, or Hold: Kyle Lowry and Buddy Hield
Trying to trade away your guy when he is surpassing everyone's expectations for a guy who actually has more value but just isn't in the groove just makes sense. It's a good business model and can help your team become stronger in the long run. Furthermore, if a guy you're looking to acquire on a... Read More
Buy, Sell, or Hold: Chris Paul and Aaron Gordon
Trading at the right time for the right players can make or break an NBA franchise's year or even a decade. Good trading is very important in the fantasy NBA world as well, but luckily for us, fantasy owners, not as much is at stake when we make our trade decisions, especially in redraft leagues.... Read More
Buy, Sell, or Hold: Richaun Holmes and Blake Griffin
I'm sure most of us are familiar with the strategy of selling a player high when he is on a roll, and with buying another low when he is playing poorly. This is usually a smart move, as streaks tend to end, and when they do we're left with the better player. I've taken a... Read More
Buy, Sell, or Hold: Fred VanVleet and Nikola Jokic
Sell your guy while his high, buy that bro while he's low. Forgive my poor poem writing, but those are some words to live by when it comes to Fantasy NBA. Getting a trade done is rarely easy. Especially one that will give your team additional value. But if you use players' forms to your... Read More
Buy, Sell, or Hold: Tim Hardaway Jr. and Damian Lillard
Any decent stockbroker will tell you to sell when the stock is at it's highest and to try and buy when it's unreasonably low. If you do this well at the stock exchange you can make millions. The same applies to fantasy NBA as well. If you sell your guys when they're red hot, and... Read More
Buy, Sell, or Hold: Domantas Sabonis and Draymond Green
Trading is one of the most important tools a fantasy owner has at his disposal. They can make your team better in many ways. But a good trade is difficult to obtain, as you can't just offer a worse player for a better one. That type of trade will be shot down by the opposite... Read More
Buy, Sell, or Hold: Brandon Ingram and Myles Turner
A good fantasy owner is always on the lookout for a potential trade deal that would help him win the league. This is why it's important to try and use players' forms to get a deal done that would help your team out in the long term. Swapping a surging player for a guy who... Read More
Buy, Sell, or Hold: Malcolm Brogdon and Steven Adams
