NBA Waiver Wire (Week 6): H2H Offensive Category Streamers

It's never too early to start streaming. Whether you have an opening due to an injury, you auction-drafted a crew of stars and scrubs, or you just didn't bother putting any effort into your last couple draft picks, you probably have a player or two on your team who isn't must-own. You're better off using […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Punting Small Stats (FT%, 3PM, AST) for Week 6

Is your team is big heavy? Do you own DeAndre Jordan or Andre Drummond? Your first few picks can't shoot from distance or pass very well? Did you decide to punt any or all of those categories at which usually guards excel? If so, here are a few players who might fit your team like […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Deep League Options (Week 5)

Many a man, nay, many a soul have chosen poorly during their fantasy drafts. The last few picks are always a gamble. If we don't like the initial hand luckily we can fold and get another one, from the waiver wire that is. The deeper and more competitive your league is the less chance there […]

NBA Bench Risers for Fantasy Basketball Week 5

NBA teams have a multitude of players coming off the bench, each with a unique role to fill.

NBA Waiver Wire: Punting Small Stats (FT%, 3PM, AST) for Week 5

Traditional centers are becoming nearly extinct. Small ball, many three point shoots, a lot of running and high scoring is threatening to change the game of basketball for good. But some of us still remain faithful to our dominant, post up bigs. Bigs who can't shoot from distance, don't pass a lot and find it […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Deep League Options (Week 4)

Most of us drafted someone who hasn't lived up to our expectations, right? That guy tests our patience day after day, dud after dud. And we would have dumped him a long time ago, but it's just that we're in such a deep league, no real talent is left on the waiver wire. Well, do not despair! […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Punting Small Stats (FT%, 3PM, AST) for Week 4

Another week of NBA is behind us. Another set of ups and downs, poor performances, injuries and opportunities for new faces to shine. Another week of shots blocked, balls stolen, rebounds grabbed. On the other hand, another week of missed free throws, no threes shot and no balls passed. For all of you who don't […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Roto Bigs (PF, C, PF/C) for Week 4

This year, RotoBaller is separating its waiver wire recommendations by position a little differently.  In our three position breakdowns, we'll be separating players into GUARDS, including point guards (PG), shooting guards (SG), and combo guards (PG/SG); WINGS, including small forwards (SF), swing men (SG/SF), and small ball fours (SF/PF); and BIGS, including power forwards (PF), […]

NBA Keeper/Dynasty: Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics

Ever since the signing of coach Brad Stevens prior to the 2013 season, the Boston Celtics have adopted a style of play that has been quite the deviation from their days of transcendent superstars like Bill Russell, Larry Bird, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett just to name a few, leading their teams to championships. Surprising almost everyone, […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Quality Game Streamers for Week 4

When you are trying to stream players to win your head-to-head fantasy basketball matchup, often when your streamer is playing matters as much as who he is. A player with games on Wednesday and Friday doesn't help when you've already got a full lineup worth of players playing on each of those days. However, a […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Punting Small Stats (FT%, 3PM, AST) for Week 3

Different Fantasy Basketball leagues have different values for different stats and therefore different values for same players. Depending on a league's setup, a missed free throw can mean a lot in one league while it means next to nothing, or literally nothing in another. The strategy of punting is used in head to head category […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Punting Big Man Stats (FG%, REB, BLK) for Week 3

Last week I recommended Lou Williams, Josh Richardson, and Kelly Olynyk in this space. Lou Williams has averaged 16 points with 1.8 threes and 3.8 assists in the four games since, and I will continue to recommend him as a valuable asset for teams punting FG%, REB, and BLK. Josh Richardson made his debut on […]

Malcolm Brogdon, Future Point Guard of the Milwaukee Bucks?

The Milwaukee Bucks have been steadily stockpiling young talent hoping to eventually build a core of players ready to compete for a top seed in the eastern conference. Coached by a future Hall-of-Fame point guard in Jason Kidd, the Bucks look to develop their raw assets under a foundational system defined by tough defense and […]

NBA Trade Value: Buy or Sell Zach LaVine and Klay Thompson?

Throughout the season, we'll be looking at what to do with players who have been unusually hot or cold, and whether their current play has staying power or you should expect it to reverse.  You can apply this to your decisions in the fantasy basketball trade market.  "Buy low" and "sell high" have become a […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Deep League Options (Week 2)

The first week of Fantasy Basketball is behind us and the early results are in. Although, one week of statistics is not enough to precisely determine how our team will be doing for the whole year, or even in the next week. This is a starting point for measuring if your last few picks will […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Punting Small Stats (FT%, 3PM, AST) for Week 2

If you went big heavy in your draft you may choose to punt one or more of the categories in which guards usually contribute the most.  You're going to have a hard time competing with guard-heavy or balanced teams in those stats anyway. If you play in a league that counts turnovers, maybe even double […]

Let’s take a look at a few names to target if you’re punting big stats (FG%, REB, and/or BLK) that might be available on your waiver wire. It’s important to remember that just because a player is good in a category you’re punting, doesn’t make him unownable to you. Exercise patience for your early round […]
