Larry Nance Jr. (PF, LAL) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/14/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at GSW, $4,400 ANALYSIS: You can pretty much just reread what I wrote for Louis Williams. Nance has been getting pretty consistent minutes, and has reached 5x value (at his current price point) in his last three games. While he likely won't blow you away with any huge numbers, he will almost certainly hit value […]

Taj Gibson (PF, CHI) - Safe FanDuel Play on 1/14/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at PHI, $4,700 ANALYSIS: Obviously with Gasol out tonight, picking one of the Chicago bigs is a must. However, I have a feeling that a large chunk of DFSers are going to lean towards Bobby Portis tonight. Although Portis is a great value at $3,500, he has a significantly lower ceiling than Taj. Even when Portis […]

Gordon Hayward (SF, UTA) - Matchup Play on FanDuel for 1/14/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs SAC, $7,300 ANALYSIS: I told you Gordon Hayward would be here every week he plays on a Thursday. Tonight he has a great matchup against the defenseless Sacramento Kings,  and  is a great play at $7,300, especially for GPP's. Although I think he's a safe play in most formats, he gets a boost in […]

LeBron James (SF, CLE) - Elite FanDuel Play on 1/14/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at SAS, $10,300 ANALYSIS: Big time players, make big time plays, in big time games.  Tonight's game against San Antonio on the road is definitely a big time game, and is an oppurtunity for LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers to show the world they are serious title contenders.  These are the games the King […]

Danny Green (SG, SA) - Value Play on FanDuel for 1/14/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs. CLE, $3,600 ANALYSIS: Yeah this is a bit of a stretch, but Danny Green is too good to be playing this poorly. Green is probably only rosterable in GPP's tonight, but I think he comes with huge upside for a guy who will likely see close to 30 minutes of playing time and is […]

Louis Williams (SG, LAL) - Solid FanDuel Play on 1/14/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at GSW, $6,000 ANALYSIS: Shooting Guard is always a tough position on FanDuel, and tonight is no exception. I'm worried about a blowout in Philly, making Butler too risky to roster, and Klay is a bit too expensive for his recent fantasy production.  That leaves a ton of mid-priced guys to choose from.  Based on the […]

Aaron Brooks (PG, CHI) - Great Value Play on FanDuel for 1/14/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at PHI, $3,700 ANALYSIS: This is one of my potential home run picks for the night. Although with Pau Gasol out, this game could be closer than normal, I still expect this game to be a blowout. Couple that with the fact that Derrick Rose did not practice yesterday, and there seems to be huge […]

Kyrie Irving (PG, CLE) - Safe FanDuel Play on 1/14/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at SAS, $7,700 ANALYSIS: Flashback to March 12th, 2015 against the Spurs. Kyrie Irving scores 57 real points (wow.), dishes out five assists, grabs three rebounds, swipes four steals and only has two turnovers on his way to a ridiculous 74.1 FD points (Again, wow).  While I don't think Kyrie will be able to […]

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 1/14/16

Got some great fantasy match ups tonight in this five game slate (not including players from the early TOR/ORL game in London), with tons of big names to choose from. I tried to focus on some lower priced players to make sure you can fit an extra star or two into your roster. In this […]

Jeff Withey (C, UTA) - Cheap FanDuel Play on 1/7/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at HOU, $4,700 ANALYSIS: Last, but certainly not least, my favorite value play of the night. I don't understand how Jeff Withey's price is still below $5,000. He has AVERAGED 29 FD points over his last six contests, which is a baseline of 6x value. He'll probably be very highly owned tonight, and its always […]

Taj Gibson (PF, CHI) - Value Play on FanDuel on 1/7/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs BOS, $5,400 ANALYSIS: Taj Gibson is the only sub $8,000 big man I really feel comfortable rostering tonight. With Joakim Noah still out nursing a shoulder injury, Gibson has had a much larger role within the Bulls front court rotation. Last game against Milwaukee he tallied a double- double (11 points, 14 rebounds) with […]

Paul Millsap (PF, ATL) - Strong FanDuel Play on 1/7/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at PHI, $8,500 ANALYSIS: With all the money I saved on my guards, I am not hesitating to spend up on Paul Millsap. I don't really like any of the mid price options for power forward, and Millsap always has the potential to be the nights high scorer. In four of his last five […]

Gordon Hayward (SF, UTA) - Upside Play on FanDuel for 1/7/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at HOU, $7,600 ANALYSIS: If Gordon Hayward is playing on Thursday night, expect to see him in this article.  He's been a little inconsistent of late, but I really like his match up against the Rockets, who boast the fifth worst defense in the NBA. With Alec Burks, Derrick Favors, and Rudy Gobert out, […]

Evan Turner (SF, BOS) - Discounted FanDuel Play on 1/7/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at CHI, $5,700 ANALYSIS: With Avery Bradley out, the Celtics will be relying on Evan Turner a little bit more over the next few games. Turner is a bit of a Swiss army knife when it comes to fantasy,  having the ability to score, rebound, and dish out assists. With the extra minutes I think […]

Jimmy Butler (SG, CHI) - Strong FanDuel Play on 1/7/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs BOS, $8,500 ANALYSIS: Now a lot of people might prefer to spend a little extra and nab James Harden, but because of the discount and the matchup, I prefer Butler here. Straight up Butler has been on fire recently. Over his last four games hes totaled at least 40 FD points, and I'm optimistic […]

Kent Bazemore (SG, ATL) - Matchup Play on FanDuel on 1/7/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at PHI, $5,700 ANALYSIS: This is the PERFECT match up for Kent Bazemore. Yes, the 76ers are the perfect match up for a lot of NBA players, but I think Bazemore in particular will flourish tonight. The 76ers are the sixth fastest paced team in the league, and should induce a lot of running and […]

Ishmael Smith (PG, PHI) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/7/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ATL, $6,100 ANALYSIS: Ish Smith has taken over in Philly, and in a big way. He's the only competent point guard on the roster, and it's shown with his gaudy assist totals. Now these aren't Rubio or Rondo assist numbers, but he's tallied at least nine in four of his six games as a […]

Darren Collison (PG, SAC) - Solid FanDuel Play on 1/7/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs LAL, $5,600) ANALYSIS: I only like Collison at this price if Rondo does not play. Right now he's questionable, so definitely keep an eye on that. Collison has shown that when give the opportunity to run the offense he has double digit assist potential. He's done so twice in the last five games, including […]

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 1/7/16

Tonight is a weird one with only two players priced above $9,000. Although that might dictate your roster a little bit, if you have extra money do not spend it just because you have it. Remember, a winning roster has nothing to do with how close you get to spending all $60,000. In this article, I will […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Week 11 Category Streamers

Week 11 is here and full of weekend streamers for you! But seriously, this week there were a ton of streamer candidates over basically every category, so I included a few extra this week. This column will be posted every week as part of RotoBaller's regular season NBA coverage for the 2015-16 NBA season. It […]

Jeff Withey (C, UTA) - Value Play on FanDuel for 12/31

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs POR, $3,900 ANALYSIS: This pick completely hinges on Derrick Favors injury, so keep a close eye on his status before lineups lock. Withey is coming off of two 30 FD point nights, averaging a double double over those games. At $3,900, anything above 20 FD points is a premium, and I think he has the […]

Draymond Green (PF, GSW) - High Upside FanDuel Play on 12/31

MATCHUP/VALUE: at HOU, $9,200 ANALYSIS: You can pretty much copy and paste what I wrote about Klay Thompson above.  If Steph sits tonight, Draymond will be even more of a focal point in the Warriors offense. We have seen Draymond stuff the stat sheet and put up huge DFS numbers, but he only averages about 15 […]

Anthony Davis (PF, NOP) - Elite FanDuel Play on 12/31

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs LAC, $10,200 ANALYSIS: Without Blake Griffin this game opens up a lot of opportunities for Anthony Davis against an extremely thin Clippers frontcourt. Yes I know, DeAndre Jordan is a very good defender. However, I'm gonna roll the dice a bit on DeAndre getting into foul trouble trying to contain AD. If he […]

Paul Pierce (SF, LAC) - FanDuel Value Play on 12/31

MATCHUP/VALUE: at NOP, $3,800 ANALYSIS: Bargain bin special! At $3,800 Paul Pierce needs to score about 10 points and grab a rebound or two to hit value. He should be able to do that in the first half tonight. Without Blake Griffin the Clippers will have to lean on Pierce a bit more in their […]

Gordon Hayward (SF, UTA) - Solid FanDuel Play on 12/31

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs POR, $7,600 ANALYSIS: Gordon Hayward is always one of my favorite DFS plays. He's had a bit of a down year by his standards, but has been heating up recently while the Jazz are dealing with multiple injuries. Make sure to keep an eye on Derrick Favors status heading into tonight's game. If he sits, […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (SG, DET) - Value Play on FanDuel on 12/31

MATCHUP/VALUE: at MIN, $5,500 ANALYSIS: With a handful of bigger name shooting guards ahead of him, I think Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will be criminally under-owned tonight. Although his recent performances have been very luke warm, he is still hitting value, and has shown many times this season he can put up huge numbers. I mean two […]

Klay Thompson (SG, GSW) - High Upside FanDuel Play on 12/31

MATCHUP/VALUE: at HOU, $7,300 ANALYSIS: This pick largely hinges on whether or not Stephen Curry plays tonight, so keep an eye on his status. Klay Thompson didn't play so well without his fellow Splash Brother last night, but I think things will turn around tonight against the Rockets. This game should have a much faster pace, which […]

Ricky Rubio (PG, MIN) - Smart FanDuel Play on 12/31

MATCHUP/VALUE: at DET, $7,500 ANALYSIS: Honestly I don't love playing Rubio in DFS because of his complete lack of scoring, but the numbers he has been putting up are hard to ignore. He's scored 38  or  more FD points over his last two contests, averaging 13 assists per game over that span. That's about 20 […]

Brandon Knight (PG, PHO) - Top FanDuel Play on 12/31

MATCHUP/VALUE: at OKC, $6,900 ANALYSIS: With Eric Bledose out for the rest of the season, Brandon Knight will quickly become a regular DFS recomendation. It was just last year the Knight was sniffing a triple double almost every night for the Milwaukee Bucks as their primary scorer and ball handler. I expect huge numbers out of […]
