NBA Waiver Wire: Week 10 Category Streamers

Welcome to week 10! Sorry for the absence last week, but I'm back with some quality weekend streamers that should  win you a category or two over the weekend. This column will be posted every week as part of RotoBaller's regular season NBA coverage for the 2015-16 NBA season. It will focus on available players […]

NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 12/17/15

In this article, I will be providing you with Daily NBA picks for FanDuel for 12/17/15. The picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays. We are back to the typical three game slate tonight, with some VERY juicy fantasy match ups. Although the match ups are pretty stacked, […]


Kevin Durant (SF, OKC) - Big Money Play on FanDuel 12/17

Kevin Durant (at CLE, $10,200) Yes I am trying to fit Kevin Durant and James Harden in my lineups tonight. As they say, big time players, make big time plays, in big time games. As far as regular season games go this game is one of the biggest. The Thunder have quietly won six games in […]


James Harden (SG, HOU) and Trevor Ariza (SF, HOU) - Stack on FanDuel 12/17

James Harden (at LAL, $10,800) This is definitely going to be a popular pick tonight, and rightfully so. Don't over think this one, it's James Harden against the Lakers. With a bunch of relatively safe cheap players available to roster tonight, Harden should not be the only star you can fit into your lineup.   Trevor […]


Matthew Dellavedova (PG, CLE) - Value Pick on FanDuel 12/17

Matthew Dellavedova (at OKC, $4,200) Matthew Dellavedova is another low priced point guard I think has great chance to exceed value tonight. Of course Kyle Lowry is super tempting, but there are some other stars I have my eye on,  and I think Dellavedova will get starters minutes at a bench players price. There is […]


NBA Waiver Wire: Week 8 Category Streamers

Week 8 is here! This week I stuck to three categories again, as the waiver wire pool just keeps getting thinner and thinner. Going forward you should be paying very close attention to injury news, even if it’s just for a game or two. Rotations are pretty locked in by this point in the season, […]


NBA Waiver Wire: Week 7 Category Streamers

Welcome to Week 7, and another tough weekend for streamers. Again, it was a rough crop to choose from, but I found a few diamonds in the rough that could swing a category and more importantly a win in your favor. Overall the ownership percentages were a little higher than I normally try to focus on […]


NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 12/10/15

In this article, I will be providing you with Daily NBA picks for FanDuel for 12/10/15. The picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays. Tonight features two great match ups in ATL @ OKC and LAC @ CHI, and two not so great match ups in PHI @ BKN […]


NBA Waiver Wire: Week 6 Category Streamers

Week 6 has finally arrived!  As you’ll soon see, the talent pool I was forced to write about this week is laughably poor, but that doesn’t mean they are any less important to your fantasy week. As a result of the weak streamers candidates I really only felt comfortable recommending streamers for three categories. I […]


NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 12/03/15

In this article, I will be providing you with Daily NBA picks for Fanduel for 12/3/15. The picks will range from some of the elite players, to mid-priced options, and value plays. Tonight there were actually a few really really cheap value plays that I think will be very under owned, and will definitely help you […]


Spencer Hawes (PF/C, CHA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Speculative Add in Deep Leagues OWNED: 1% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues By this point in the season, the dust has settled and we have a pretty good idea how most players are going to perform. That’s why capitalizing on injuries, whether short or long term, is so vital now. It was confirmed earlier […]


NBA Waiver Wire: Week 5 Category Streamers

Week Five is already here! This week I focused again on very low owned players to ensure availability when the weekend comes around. Although there are a ton of teams playing two games this weekend, the streamers candidate pool was surprisingly thin overall, so make sure the players below are a priority if you’re in […]


NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks – FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 11/19/15

Overall this is a pretty tough night, even for the normally thin three game slate on Thursdays, but there are plenty of opportunities to find a few diamonds in the rough. Try to focus on players who are either often overlooked, or might be under owned, that will be the difference between winning big and […]


NBA Waiver Wire: Week 4 Category Streamers

It’s week four of the NBA Fantasy Season and this week I’ve focused on even lower owned players than I normally write about. Everyone is under 25% owned, which should help you ensure you get them, and more importantly make you look super-smart when one of these guys wins you a category. This column will […]


NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks – FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 11/12/15

This is more like it. Three games. That’s all we’ve got to choose from tonight. On the surface tonight looks pretty tough, but pending a few injuries there could be some great value picks . Luckily the most impactful injury status is Rudy Gobert (battling an ankle injury) who is playing in first game of […]


NBA Waiver Wire: Week 3 Category Streamers

Believe it or not, it is week 3 of the NBA fantasy season.  If you have had a worse than expected start to the season--don't panic! I've got some great category streamers for you this week to help you win a close category or two over the weekend. This column will be posted every week […]


Gary Neal (PG/SG, WAS) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add for PTS and 3PM OWNED: 1% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: You can pretty much read what I wrote about Ramon Sessions here. This add is based purely off of the injury of Bradley Beal, but will pay off dividends for this week and possible longer. In case you’re too lazy to click […]


Ramon Sessions (PG/SG, WAS) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add for PTS, 3PM, and AST OWNED: 1% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: You never like to see injuries to young stars like Bradley Beal, but this could be great news for future Ramon Sessions owners. The status on Beal’s injury has not been disclosed yet, but after watching it live, and knowing Beal’s […]


Zaza Pachulia (C, DAL) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add for REB and consistency OWNED: 33% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Zaza Pachulia is one of those players where you know exactly what you’re going to get from him. It’s nice to know that almost every night Zaza will sniff a double double; averaging 9.5 points, and 10.2 rebounds a game. He also […]


NBA Waiver Wire: Week 2 Category Streamers

Welcome to the second weekly edition of the RotoBaller H2H Streamer Specialists column! This column will be posted every week as part of RotoBaller's regular season NBA coverage for the 2015-16 NBA season. It will focus on available players who could win you your H2H matchup in specific categories. All of these players will have […]


NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks – FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 11/5/15

Welcome back Rotoballers!!! Tonight we’re in for a treat with a five-game slate as opposed to the normal three games on Thursday night. The matchups aren’t great, but that only means you have to dig a little deeper into individual matchups to find the serious value.   Introducing RotoBaller's Daily Fantasy Basketball Premium Subscription Get […]


Langston Galloway (PG/SG, NYK) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add for PTS and 3PM OWNED: 46% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: You can pretty much just read what I wrote about Rodney Hood. Langston Galloway, like Hood, will help you in 3PM and PTS, and also chip in some rebounds and assists. And just like Hood, he might run into some playing time […]


Rodney Hood (SG/SF, UTA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add for PTS and 3PM OWNED: 54% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: I’ll be honest. I was definitely skeptical of Rodney Hood as a viable fantasy option this season, but he is growing on me. Hood has won the starting SG spot (for now) over Alec Burks, and if he continues to shoot this […]


Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (SG, DET) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues OWNED: 71% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: I know, I know, 71% owned is pretty high to be including Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in a Waiver Wire Pickups article, but he wasn’t owned in the RotoBaller Writer’s Fantasy Basketball League until now, so I figured it was worth a write up. I’ll […]


Marvin Williams (SF/PF, CHA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues OWNED: 46% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Pretty surprised Marvin Williams is owned in less than half of Yahoo leagues. After losing Michael Kidd-Gilchrist for the season, Marvin Williams has been forced into a much larger role on both sides of the ball in Charlotte. Unless Frank Kaminsky or Cody […]


Mo Williams (PG/SG, CLE) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues (Until Kyrie Irving comes back) OWNED: 60% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Mo Williams is a little higher owned than I usually include in these articles, but he should be 100% owned until Kyrie Irving comes back. Let’s get the obvious out of the way. LeBron likes and trusts Mo […]


Marcus Thornton (SG, HOU) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add for PTS and 3PM in deep leagues OWNED: 7% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Am I about to write over 300 words on Marcus Thornton? Is he really still in the NBA? Believe it or not, the answer to both of those questions is yes. While I wasn’t originally planning to include Marcus Thornton […]


NBA Waiver Wire: Week 1 Category Streamers

Welcome to the first weekly edition of the RotoBaller H2H Streamer Specialists column!  This column will be posted every week as part of RotoBaller's regular season NBA coverage for the 2015-16 NBA season.  It will focus on available players who could win you your H2H matchup in specific categories. All of these players will have […]


NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks - FanDuel DFS Basketball Advice for 10/29/15

Please Note: Usually I place a very high emphasis on Vegas lines and totals, but you can’t be that picky with only three games to choose from   Introducing RotoBaller's Daily Fantasy Basketball Premium Subscription Get an edge on your NBA DFS competition with cutting edge tools, projections, lineup picks, and key stats. Our NBA DFS Premium […]


Marcus Smart (PG/SG, BOS) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add for Steals OWNED: 70% of Yahoo Fantasy Basketball Leagues ANALYSIS:This is mostly a pick up from an opportunity standpoint. Marcus Smart hasn’t necessarily shown his full potential as a consistent fantasy player yet in his young career, but Brad Stevens seems to have full trust in him, which is enough for me […]
