Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers after Summer League
The 2018 Summer League has come and gone. With every game being available to stream this year, exposure to Summer League was at all-time high. You couldn't get on Twitter without seeing a ton of highlights and analysis. That's great -- more people talking about basketball is a great thing, even if that basketball isn't... Read More
Welcome back to RotoBaller's basketball coverage. Did you enjoy the playoffs? The thrill of, uhhh, another Warriors/Cavaliers Finals? So excite! Much wow! Surprises! (Okay, I'm taking this lack of enthusiasm too far -- both conference finals were fun and exciting and a Chris Paul injury away from bringing us something very unexpected.) But now, with... Read More
*pew pew* It's Showdown time. One game slates jam-packed with points and value. You need to hit every pick in order to cash out because there will be so many similar lineups going around. PICK THE SUPERSTARS. You absolutely must pick James Harden, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and Steph Curry. Chris Paul might have a... Read More
Tonight really isn't the greatest slate. Realistically, the entire second round of playoffs hasn't been that good in terms of DFS. It's been decent but the blowouts mess with decision making. With only two games that haven't offered up the most competition, choosing whether it will be a close game or a toss-up, now that... Read More
Top of the morning to you all and hopefully you are as excited as I am. We have two games with the stakes about as high as they can get and teams are fighting for reputation. Not going to lie I am absolutely loving all this minor league chaos going on and the narratives being... Read More
After an exciting night on Saturday in the East, we head back West as the playoffs continue. All teams will look to make some key adjustments that will substantially impact our DFS selections on Sunday, so make sure that you do your homework as best you can. Don’t be an optimizer chump; do your homework... Read More
There are only two games once again, which makes the slate somewhat difficult. There are a few players that are near must starts, but the majority aren't cheap. I'm going to focus on the best plays rather than the cheaper options. It may be a weird strategy, but I'm going with a "get the top... Read More
The playoffs are here and we are looking at one of the best times of the year for the NBA. We have a two-game slate where we have two teams trying to get back into their series, so should be some close game In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup... Read More
Both series tonight have taken a turn for the worst when it comes to DFS. Both teams are head and shoulders ahead of their competition and anything can happen tonight. It is very likely we see narratives tonight that weren't there, and unsung heroes will be the saviors. There isn't but one superstar to really... Read More
How weird has this second round been? After most were thinking that the West would be two easy sweeps for the Rockets and Warriors (even though it is still likely for Golden State), the Cavs and Celtics are up two games in their respective second round matchups. Though a lot can change, things have been... Read More
We're back to another two game slate with two interesting matchups. The Utah Jazz have displayed the ability to keep up with one of the best teams in the NBA. The New Orleans Pelicans have not displayed that same ability, but their games against Golden State have featured an elite number of fantasy points. In... Read More
Two games tonight and there is value consistently throughout. For the sake of keeping things interesting i'll be sure to keep this list to mostly sleeper picks. Before anything, i'm going to go over a brief rundown of the games so far. In the earlier game, both Toronto and Cleveland are about as dead-set even... Read More
Another two game slate and another chance to cash out big-time. Honestly, I think the NBA needs to give LeBron James another day of rest. They might lose a team when James knocks the Raptors out of the playoffs but tonight, it should be all about DeMar DeRozan, Kyle Lowry and James. I'll say this... Read More
We are going to do things a bit differently with only one game tonight. DraftKings offers a one game Showdown where you roster six utility players whose total salary you need to keep below $50,000. Although it's only one-game, there is value out there and I am going to offer up the cheapest prices that... Read More
Happy Sunday everyone. The playoffs continue with a crucial Game 7 between the Indiana Pacers and the Cleveland Cavaliers along with an opening series matchup between the Rockets and Jazz. There are some guys with nice value potential, but others who are priced deceptively high. In this article, I will be providing you with... Read More
We're starting the second round for Utah and Houston today, which means we don't have series numbers for them. There's two games today, though, so it's a slate that can be played, specifically with GPPs. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 4/29/18. These DFS lineup... Read More
There are two games tonight. One will be the ending of a great series, the other could be the start of something incredible. Either way, narratives will be set tonight and Anthony Davis is going to have a good game. You might as well start of your lineup creation will a healthy dose of value... Read More
Three games on Friday night as the playoffs continue. Not a lot of injuries of signicance or quality bench players to choose from, but we can attack those GPP’s with guys who are generously priced and are capable of exceeding their values. Toronto/Washington is the projected highest-scoring game on the slate, with OKC/Utah and Cleveland/Indiana... Read More
There's a decent three game slate in a few elimination games tonight. That's when the best players on the court generally come out, which is what we'll be looking at. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 4/27/18. These DFS lineup picks can vary from higher-priced... Read More
Thanks to teams forcing games sixes and pushing these series further along, we get a nice little three-game slate for Friday evening. Playoff basketball (in potentially series' deciding games!), the NFL Draft continues, and a 14-game main slate in MLB is a really nice way to kick off the weekend. My first thought about this... Read More
So, this is different. There's only one game tonight after being spoiled with games last night. Only the Bucks and Celtics will play tonight and luckily FanDuel runs this nifty single-game contest that only allows you to roster five total players. To make it easy, I'll do my best to label each pick that is... Read More
The playoffs are here and we are looking at one of the best times of the year for the NBA. We have a four-game slate where we have two teams trying to close out a series, with the other two series still up for grabs. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy... Read More
Three games tonight and plenty of options. Usually this would be good but both the Celtics-Bucks and 76ers-Heat have been somewhat of a crapshoot. The shooters are hitting about every other game, although the superstars have been producing like they should. Game four of Warriors-Spurs shouldn't continue down that same path and expect the Warriors... Read More
Only two games on the slate which means this article will be on the shorter side. On night's like tonight, there are already plenty of sub-$3,000 options that are actually capable of exceeding their projected. They carry a fair share amount of risk but they also free up enough space to really roster whoever you... Read More
The playoffs are here and we are looking at one of the best times of the year for the NBA. We have a four-game slate where we have one team trying to close out a series, with the other three series still up for grabs. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily... Read More
We have a solid three game slate, and we are deeper into the series', so we're aware of how these teams plan on playing each other. That could cause specific players' ownership to rise, but we also generally know what players will be at least somewhat lower owned. In this article, I will be providing... Read More
This is it -- the final full week of the NBA season is upon us, which means this will be the final week of your fantasy season. How are you doing? Is it going well? Do you regret that you're still playing as rotations become harder to predict? Let's get into here with the final... Read More
Two summers ago, it was a wild free agency ride for big men in the league. Players like Timofey Mozgov and Luol Deng made out like bandits on notorious contracts (good for them, by the way!). The summer following, teams had to compensate for the overpay, and big man money was harder to come by.... Read More
We've made it into the final week of fantasy hoops. On behalf of RotoBaller, it's been a pleasure as always sharing my insights to our audience. We wish everyone the best of luck in your leagues and may the odds forever be in your favor! As a reminder for most leagues, it's crucial to plan... Read More
RISER: Everyone who plays for the Charlotte Hornets. FALLER: Everyone who plays for the Memphis Grizzlies Alright, thanks for reading this week's column! Good luck with your playoff matches. See you next week. ... Oh, is that not enough? Well, this past week has made it feel like the Hornets can do anything -- Dwight Howard going... Read More
