Greg Monroe (C, MIL) - Value Play on DraftKings 2/11
Greg Monroe (vs WAS, $7,000) So, what exactly is Jason Kidd doing? Greg Monroe was relegated to the bench last game for some odd reason, presumably to “shake things up,” and although it kind of worked out with a win, it took a lot of court time from usual starter Monroe to will the Bucks... Read More
Ryan Anderson (PF, NO) - Value Play on DraftKings 2/11
Ryan Anderson (at OKC, $5,700) Anderson is in a nice spot against the Thunder. He should see some nice run with the second unit and after only playing 24 minutes on Wednesday, he should be as fresh as produce for an up-tempo game. OKC typically does not blow teams out because the bench unit is... Read More
Russell Westbrook (PG, OKC) and Kevin Durant (SF, OKC) - Stack on DraftKings 2/11
Russell Westbrook (vs NOP, $11,200) This just in: Westbrook is a stud. And if you’re looking for a reason to not roster him, I cannot give one. The Thunder don’t really blow teams out, especially when they’re favored heavily. I imagine he will be the most heavily owned player on the board across the industry.... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 2/11/16
After Thursday’s megaslate of two games is finished, there will be not fantasy basketball for about a week. Seriously, what are we supposed to do? Read a book? How could the Association do this to us? Have fun playing tonight and good luck to all of you over the next week. I know I’ll need... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 2/9/16
Are you as giddy as I am? Tuesday’s slate offers the basketball world what it has been waiting for for quite some time. I know I have been on pins and needles for a little while. We finally get to see what the new look Knicks will bring to the floor in the post-Derek Fisher... Read More
RotoBaller NBA Radio - Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks for 2/8 - 2/10/16

You can find all of our new shows on BlogTalkRadio live or on demand, and on iTunes under podcasts.

DeMarcus Cousins (C, SAC) - Elite FanDuel Play on 2/7/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at BOS, $11,100 ANALYSIS: Did you expect anyone else? Look, you didn’t really pay up at other spots so why not spend your fake cheese on the big hoss. Who is going to slow him down?
Kristaps Porzingis (PF, NY) - Strong FanDuel Play on 2/7/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs DEN, $6,400 ANALYSIS: After dudding up for most of the last two weeks, Porzin-God came back with authority with a nice 17 point, 10 rebound performance against the Grizzlies. Word out of New York is that Melo will most likely play, which may jerk Porzingis’ ownership numbers around. It’s a no-brainer that Porzingis... Read More
Paul Millsap (PF, ATL) - Safe FanDuel Play on 2/7/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at ORL, $7,800 ANALYSIS: Another guy that figures to be heavily owned mainly because there are really not a whole lot of great options, Millsap has been rather erratic since the start of the second half of the NBA season. He is still scoring his fair share for the Hawks, but what’s up with... Read More
Omri Casspi (SF, SAC) - FanDuel Injury Play on 2/7/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at BOS, $5,100 ANALYSIS: A Casspi roster makes sense only if there is confirmation that Rudy Gay will sit again. It also makes a lot of sense if Ben McLemore sits as well. That’s a lot of minutes, shots, rebounds and usage rate that needs to be picked up.
Kent Bazemore (SF, ATL) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 2/7/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at ORL, $5,100 ANALYSIS: Do you trust Bazemore? Me neither. But he makes a lot of sense on Superbowl Sunday. There are question marks abound at the swing position and though Bazemore is not without his, he does make sense against Orlando. The Magic have given up over 43 FanDuel points per game over... Read More
Avery Bradley (SG, BOS) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 2/7/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs SAC, $5,500 ANALYSIS: This Sacramento-Boston game looks juicy. It features two teams that play really fast, should have the highest projected point total of the game, and Marco Belinelli on defense! He owns a 112 DRating and if you attempt to quantify that on a scientific scale, that means that he couldn’t even... Read More
Victor Oladipo (SG, ORL) - FanDuel Upside Play on 2/7/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ATL, $6,500 ANALYSIS: Oladipo was on a fantastic run in two straight games last week before it all came crashing down against the Clippers. The shooting/point guard dropped a total of 94.5 FanDuel points in two straight games before drawing a lot of defense from Chris Paul on Friday night. Still, the guy... Read More
Emmanuel Mudiay (PG, DEN) - FanDuel Value Play on 2/7/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at NY, $5,400 ANALYSIS: Despite continuing to turn the ball over like, well, a rookie point guard, Mudiay has put up some strong performances as of late. His minutes have been reaching into the low to mid-30s, and he has shown he is quite capable of draining buckets and dishing out dimes. Hopefully the... Read More
Isaiah Thomas (PG, BOS) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 2/7/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs SAC, $7,800 ANALYSIS: Look at it this way. The field is going to invest heavily in Thomas. I imagine somewhere in the 65-75% range. That’s just how good this matchup is. So even if you roster Thomas and he lays a dud- something that is not likely to happen- then it still won’t... Read More
NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 2/7/16
Evidently there is some sort of football game being played later in the day, so Sunday’s NBA four-game slate starts at 1pm EST. That’s 10am on the left coast. Mimosas and basketball sound really nice. In all honesty, please be safe and responsible in all your Superbowl party-ing and travels for the day. In this... Read More
Carmelo Anthony (SF, NY) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 2/4
Carmelo Anthony (at DET, $8,500) For all the Melo hate that is out there, the following remains true: the offense still flows through him and the dude is consistently among the league leaders in usage rate. The Knicks superstar has improved on his rebounding numbers and may even set a career-high in assists this season.... Read More
Markieff Morris (PF, PHO) - Value Play on DraftKings 2/4
Markieff Morris (vs MIN, $5,700) Here’s the lock chalk play of the day. The new Phoenix administration has made it clear that they want Morris, however many days he has left wearing a Suns uni, to be the man. They want the offense centered around him and it starts by inserting him in the lineup.... Read More
Jrue Holiday (PG, NO) and Anthony Davis (PF, NO) - Stack on DraftKings 2/4
Jrue Holiday (at LAL, $7,200) A lot of times we are asked if it is a good idea to actually roster bench players in a DFS lineup. The answer is simple, at least for me. I don’t care if a guy is coming off the bench or starting, all I care about is his playing... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 2/4/16
As gross as the Suns have looked over the past month-plus, the argument could be made that a DFS roster full of them tonight makes a lot of sense. Phoenix is dealing with a boatload of injuries, and new head coach Earl Watson has made it abundantly clear who he wants to get a heavy... Read More
Karl-Anthony Towns (C, MIN) - Solid DraftKings Tournament Play on 2/2/16
Karl-Anthony Towns (at LAL, $7,800) Here comes the big cat! Dude has been an absolute monster over the last two weeks and there is little to no chance that the Lakers and their 30th-ranked defense against the center position will slow him down. Big KAT is going to show Roy Hibbert just what Kevin Durant said nearly 10 days ago. Towns... Read More
Karl-Anthony Towns (C, MIN) - Solid DraftKings Tournament Play on 2/2/16
Karl-Anthony Towns (at LAL, $7,800) Here comes the big cat! Dude has been an absolute monster over the last two weeks and there is little to no chance that the Lakers and their 30th-ranked defense against the center position will slow him down. Big KAT is going to show Roy Hibbert just what Kevin Durant said nearly 10 days ago. Towns... Read More
Dwayne Wade (SG, MIA) and Justise Winslow (SF, MIA) - DraftKings Stack on 2/2/16
Dwyane Wade (at HOU, $7,300) We are also hoping that Wade draws the Beard and not Patrick Beverley, who has showed tremendous defensive ability this season. The Beard, however, well he’s shown some regression to say the least. Wade has been a consistent offensive force, so it’s surprising to see his price drop $500 from his last game.... Read More
Zach LaVine (PG, MIN) - DraftKings Value Play on 2/2/16
Zach LaVine (at LAL, $5,300) Don’t forget that LaVine is considered a point guard on DraftKings. There is a push from some of the Minnesota faithful to plug LaVine into the starting five, but we here at Rotoballer are keeping our fingers crossed that he continues to come off the bench. Over his last four, LaVine is... Read More
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 2/2/16
The only reason anyone in the tri-state area would know it is winter time is because the NBA is dominating sports highlight reels, what with the 50 degree weather and all. It’s strange to see people in tee shirts in February. Hopefully that hot weather translates on to the court, specifically for the following players.... Read More
RotoBaller NBA Radio - Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks for 2/1 - 2/3/16

Karl-Anthony Towns (C, MIN) - FanDuel Stud on 1/31/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at POR, $8,400 ANALYSIS: Dude has dropped 47.2, 46.1 and 46.9 FanDuel points in three straight games against Cleveland, Oklahoma City and Utah, respectively. He is so studly that this is the only downside FanDuel could find on the big man: “more assists could help his fantasy value and his team’s play.” Wow. I’ll... Read More
Marvin Williams (PF, CHA) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/31/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at LAL, $5,400 ANALYSIS: All season the Hornets have been waiting for the former Tar Heel to break out, and now their patience is finally paying off. Of course it has taken injuries to Cody Zeller and Al Jefferson, but fantasy owners are quite happy with his recent production. Those injuries have really opened... Read More
Chris Bosh (PF, MIA) - Strong FanDuel Play on 1/31/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at ATL, $7,700 ANALYSIS: Most of the other options at this position have some questions, and Bosh is not without his. Primarily will Hassan Whiteside play? Of course that is also a Whiteside question, but if the giant center does miss his fifth straight game, then Bosh becomes the primary interior threat for the... Read More
Evan Turner (SF, BOS) - Safe FanDuel Play on 1/31/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at ORL, $5,300 ANALYSIS: Turner has scored double-digit points in six straight games and he is always a guy that will add some extra stats across the line. His minutes appears locked in right now in that crazy Celtic rotation, so he should continue to consistently contribute anywhere from 28-32 FanDuel points. Meanwhile, the... Read More
