First Week NBA Breakouts To Believe In
We're almost at the halfway point of the season, and it's getting harder and harder to find quality options on the wire, while it's getting easier and easier to cut bait on dead weight. Everyone in your league is probably thinking the same way, so it's time to look deeper and deeper for those guys that... Read More
A new year means you get an excuse to try new things. But rather than promising to get fit or eat well, I’ve resolved to release my inner nerd. Today I want to focus on how the fantasy value of an NBA center can be correlated with his defensive prowess. Centers are important for fantasy... Read More
You own a player who is on fire at the moment? You're worried he's not going to keep it up? Why not use his hotness to swap him for another who you have more faith in? If it's too good to be true, it probably is. Especially in the case we have for you today, where... Read More
This year we'll take more of a holistic approach to streaming, by providing a weekly overview of which teams to look at based on their schedules and what players to consider targeting in advance to maximize the bang for the buck you get out of limited weekly transactions. Streaming is just about maximizing a roster... Read More
On behalf of the RotoBaller staff, we wish everyone a Merry Christmas! Due to the holidays, I am away on a trip and this post will be more brief. If you haven't checked out our injury updates, make sure to give that a look. I also write a feature during the week on recent notable... Read More
Welcome to week ten, my DFS friends. Week nine was a wild one, as we saw a few significant players return from injury to shake up rotations, while others were bitten by the injury back for the first time. If one thing is certain, it's that lineups and rotations are very fluid in this injury-riddled... Read More
Another week in the NBA and, as always, some players are not meeting expectations while others are holding onto their value with their fingernails. Today we will be looking at one of the most talked-about guys this past preseason, who hasn't been able to carry that form over to the regular season yet. Will he... Read More
We're heading into Week 10 in fantasy hoops, and we're just about halfway into the fantasy season. For most leagues, playoffs start on Week 21 on Mar. 5th and conclude on at the end of Week 24 starting on Mar. 26th. If you haven't checked out our injury updates, make sure to give that a...

Welcome back, daily fantasy community. It was another wild week in the association, so there's much to breakdown. The wildness is becoming so common, it's starting to become the norm. The good thing is that, unlike fads, wild basketball can't be ruined just because it becomes a regularity - it's always going to be wildly entertaining.... Read More
Hello our dear readers and welcome to our Week 9 fantasy basketball buy low and sell high column right here at RotoBaller. Today, we will be changing it up a bit. Although there are several buy low players playing below their realistic levels like Paul George and Rudy Gobert, two guys have really lit the NBA on fire with... Read More
More bodies continue to fall across the NBA, latest being Devin Booker and Jusuf Nurkic. If you haven't checked out our injury updates, make sure to give that a look. I also write a feature during the week on recent notable injuries and which players can benefit. Check out my previous post here. We are... Read More
After Gordon Hayward decided to sign with the Boston Celtics over the summer, a great deal of uncertainty loomed for the Utah Jazz and their future. Rudy Gobert is a menacing rim protector and tenacious rebounder, however he is far from being a polished offensive player. Who would they rely on when they need buckets... Read More
Stuck in a deep league with no talent on the wire? That guy your roster just dealt you another dud? Tired of him pissing you off and making your life difficult? Don't despair. There is value to be found on the waiver wires even in the most competitive leagues. You just have to look really... Read More
We're rolling into December, and, as Coach Kidd put it, this is the time when "the vets really start playing." We've also now seen enough games to get a clearer picture of rotations, minutes, and Usage rates. With that in mind, it's important to monitor daily fantasy salaries as they still fluctuate on a regular... Read More
We are officially in December and the fantasy season continues to breeze into the holiday season. As a reminder, it takes a bit of luck to win in fantasy leagues, so don't be too discouraged by the recent outburst of injuries if your team is still in good shape in terms of standings. Don't instantly just... Read More
Another set of players have taken their fantasy owners for a spin on their hot'n'cold roller coaster. Another chance for selling a player above or buying him below his realistic price has therefore presented itself. Who is the guy you should sell in a hurry if you can get decent value back? Whose owner might... Read More
On behalf of the RotoBaller staff, we wish everyone had a happy Thanksgiving holiday. We are approaching December, and fantasy hoops is in full swing. We have hit about one third of the fantasy basketball season and injuries continue to pile up across the league, as All-Stars Paul Millsap (wrist) and John Wall (knee) will... Read More
Fantasy NBA is similar to the stock exchange sometimes. Depending on how a player performs in a given period, his value around your fantasy league can rise or drop. How many times did that guy who is almost always near the top sell his player just before he started slumping? And remember when he bought... Read More
Almost a month of NBA basketball has passed and we still can't get used to all the changes that have reshaped the leagues since last year. Russell Westbrook has received some all-star help in Oklahoma, but they are still struggling, even though they have won their last two. Boston keeps winning despite Gordon Hayward's season being over... Read More
Our NBA fantasy draft seems like it was just yesterday. Yet some of the players we picked near the end, it feels like they've been screwing us for months... Can you relate to the feeling? If so, maybe, just maybe it's time to move on. It's easier for those in a 10-12 man league. There are... Read More
It was only a matter of time before Eric Bledsoe was dealt after making his displeasure with the Phoenix Suns organization public earlier this season in a hair salon tweet. After becoming disgruntled with the organization during last seasons second half tank mode, it should be a breathe of fresh air for everyone involved in... Read More
As always this early in the season, some players have exploded while others are still trying to find their groove. As always here at RotoBaller, we are trying to find those guys who can't keep this up and advise you to try and get extra value for them while they're at their peak, and those... Read More
We're knee deep into Week 3 of the new NBA season and some things are starting to unravel. All of us have had the opportunity to figure out which picks have made us look silly in the eyes of our competition and whether or not those players deserve our patience. I know I have a... Read More
Week 2 is behind us and there's been so many surprise results that it seems the NBA Gods are having a laugh. If the playoffs were to begin today Cleveland wouldn't participate, Golden State would be the number six seed in the West and the Memphis Grizzlies and Detroit Pistons would be crowned regular season...

It's week 2 -- we're far enough into the season to start latching onto breakout waiver wire stars. If you haven't already, it's time to start adding these guys while they're still available. This year, we're tossing out our old convention of separating waiver wire posts into positions, and instead we're separating them into depth... Read More
The first week of the season is over. And boy what a week it was! Too many injuries put a damper on a very exciting start to the NBA season. The reigning champions Golden State lost two out of three, and their arch nemesis Cleveland was humiliated a few days ago by Orlando, who was... Read More
It's been a rough start to the 2017-18 NBA season. It was a bad omen in the preseason when likable players started going down with injuries to start a season where they were looking at big opportunities to break out -- including Seth Curry, Dante Exum, and Slam Dunk Contest winner Glenn Robinson III. Then... Read More
The NBA season opener is finally here, and it strangely feels like a lull in the action after a wild offseason hallmarked by massive trades, big free agent moves, and a wildly hyped incoming class of rookies. It's like we're trading an epic soap opera for a relative lack of drama in the regular season... Read More
In the next installment to my fantasy guide, we look towards wings -- Shooting Guards, Small Forwards, and the various combinations thereof. Some of these players' position eligibility varies depending on the site, so it’s best I keep it simple and use names with explanations. The following players, in a sense, “have my blessing,” (whatever... Read More
