Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 3 (2025): 10/27 to 11/2

We are still very early in the season, so the balancing act between being aggressive and picking up players off the wire without dropping players who have long-term upside is a tough one. Luckily for you, I started a new piece called the Fantasy Basketball Cut List that will accompany this one a bit later […]

We usually get more than eight games on a Friday night in the NBA, but that's plenty of games to choose from for our favorite NBA betting props. I don't want to toot our own horn too much (or jinx myself today), but my partner on this column, Keith Eyster, and I have a five-slate […]

The Fantasy Basketball Cut List - Who to Drop or Hold After Week 1

So much of the fantasy space is devoted to telling you which players to add, but who's there to help you decide who to drop? I believe it was Shakespeare who said, "Parting is such sweet sorrow." It's not always easy to let go of a player, especially if you already invested a draft pick […]

NBA DFS: Top Daily Fantasy Expert Picks for DraftKings, FanDuel (10/29/25)

Happy Hump Day, RotoBallers! Wednesday brings us another fine slate of games in the Association, and only two players have a salary of $10,000 or more on DK (three on FD).

Don't Sleep on These Centers! Late Round Values For Fantasy Basketball (2025-2026)

The center position is one that always seems to dry up quickly in fantasy basketball.

ADP Values For 2025 Fantasy Basketball (Category Leagues)

There aren't many things fantasy managers can agree on entering each NBA season. However, we can all agree that drafting players who overperform their draft position is the key to winning leagues. We can also all agree that all drafts this year will start with four international superstars in some order: Victor Wembanyama, Nikola Jokic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, […]

More Than Just Points! Fantasy Basketball Stat-Stuffers To Draft in 2025

The worst term we can use for a player in fantasy basketball is "hollow." I'm talking about category leagues here, as someone who collects enough counting stats can be quite useful in points leagues.
