NBA Weekly Streamers for Week 19 (Feb 24 - Mar 1)

Hello, my dear fellow fantasy nuts! For those of us in tight battles for those last playoff spots, or better playoff seeding, streaming is next to a necessity. That sweet green W is worth a lot more than those bottom of the roster players that had to be sacrificed for the sake of the whole […]

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 […]

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 […]

NBA Weekly Streamers for the All-Star Double Week 17+18 (Feb 10 - Feb 23)

With the fantasy playoffs drawing near, it's making less and less sense in waiting for that guy who "could blow up at any minute". He keeps putting up duds and we keep putting up with him since he's got potential. But even if he doesn't reach it by like tomorrow, it could already be too […]

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 […]

NBA Weekly Streamers for Week 16 (Feb 3 - Feb 9)

Fantasy playoffs are getting closer and closer and most of us are in a tight battle for either playoff birth or favorable seeding. Every matchup is a step closer or further away from our goal. Streaming just the right players can be a very useful and powerful tool and help us make that step in […]

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 […]

NBA Weekly Streamers for Week 15 (Jan 27 - Feb 2)

Every new week in fantasy NBA brings new rivals and new challenges. Each different than the one before, but with the same goal - to beat us in our matchup. Streaming helps us adapt to the new circumstances, overcome them as best possible, and ultimately reach our regular-season goal of reaching the playoffs. Each week […]

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 […]

NBA Weekly Streamers for Week 14 (Jan 20 - Jan 26)

Hello, my fellow fantasy addicts! We're back this week with another look at how to best use the NBA schedule for our fantasy team's purposes and maximize the games our team plays during our upcoming matchup. And how do we fantasy addicts do this? By streaming of course! This week will be a tough one […]

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 […]

NBA Weekly Streamers for Week 13 (Jan 13 - Jan 19)

Fantasy NBA playoffs are getting closer by the minute and for those of us in the hunt for playoff berth or better seeding, every matchup counts. Streaming is that ace up our sleeve to help us when the going gets tough, and it gets tough a lot. There are plenty of decisions to make when […]

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 […]

NBA Weekly Streamers for Week 12 (Jan 6 - Jan 12)

Reaching the playoffs in our competitive fantasy NBA leagues is never easy. That's especially true if we had some bad luck with injuries to our key players, or if the guys we drafted with so much hope turned out to be duds. So we turn to our wits and try to out outsmart and outplay […]

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 […]

NBA Weekly Streamers for Week 11 (Dec 30 - Jan 5)

It's hard out here for an NBA fantasy pimp When he tryin' to get this streamer for the Win For the busts and the draft picks on them spent Because a whole lot of guys playin' like sh*t Using that last roster spot to stream available players with a favorable schedule in the upcoming week […]

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 […]

NBA Weekly Streamers for Week 10 (Dec 23 - Dec 29)

We're entering Week 10 of fantasy NBA basketball and it flew by if you ask me... It's becoming apparent where we stand at this point and whether we're sitting pretty at the top, just battling for beneficial seeding, or our teams are struggling and we need every W we can get to have a chance […]

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. […]

NBA Weekly Streamers for Week 9 (Dec 16 - Dec 22)

Another week of fantasy NBA is ahead of us and even though we're still in the first half of our seasons, every matchup is important. Not just for bragging rights over our rival this week, but also because every win brings us a step closer to the playoffs and having a better position when it […]

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 […]

NBA Weekly Streamers for Week 8 (Dec 9 - Dec 15)

Recently I had a short conversation on Reddit (fantasybball subreddit of course) about the benefits and importance of streaming. The fantasy owner who started the conversation analyzed the stats his streamers have brought him over a three-week period and calculated that it was equal to a top-25 to top-40 production. Mind you, this was a […]

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 […]

Fantasy Basketball Weekly Streamers for Week 7 (Dec 2 - Dec 8)

A good way to gain an advantage over your next week's opponent is to "sacrifice" that poor sap at the bottom of your roster who really isn't contributing all that much, and convert his roster spot into a streaming one. This way you will maximize your games played and will have the opportunity to choose […]

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 […]

Fantasy Basketball Weekly Streamers for Week 6 (Nov 25 - Dec 1)

Welcome dear readers to Rotoballer's guide on how to best utilize your streaming spot (or two) in Week 6. Streaming can be the decisive factor on who wins your matchup, and when you use them well and complement your team's needs, more often than not, the winner will be you. However, it's difficult to predict […]

Fantasy Basketball Weekly Streamers for Week 5 (Nov 18 - Nov 24)

Expecting a tough matchup next week? Looking to maximize your team's chances of winning? Have an expendable player at the bottom of your roster? Streaming is the path for you! We're looking at NBA teams' schedules for the following week, analyzing which teams have the best chance of helping fantasy owners out based on when their […]

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 […]

Fantasy Basketball Weekly Streamers for Week 4 (Nov 11 - Nov 17)

We're a few weeks into the new season already and masks are starting to fall. If that guy you picked up so hopefully in the late rounds hasn't lived up to your expectations, don't hang on for too long. He is expendable, and his roster spot is more than likely better used as a streaming […]

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 […]
