NBA Weekly Streamers for Week 9 (Dec 10 - Dec 16)
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...

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
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
Welcome to fantasy draft season for the 2017-18 NBA season! It's time to start thinking about how you're going to win your league this year. RotoBaller will be here with rankings, sleepers, players to avoid, and much more. Before we dive too deep into individual players, though, let's take a step back and look at... Read More
This NBA season is an especially hard one to predict. So many stars have changed teams and changed roles. We don't even know what first round fantasy superstars like Russell Westbrook and James Harden are going to do, much less second tier guys like Carmelo Anthony. In all the uncertainty in the earlier rounds, it... Read More
It’s been way too long. The NFL does not satisfy my taste for entertainment like it used to and this offseason has been painfully exhilarating. Luckily, we are in the waning stages of the NBA offseason and every team will have played their last preseason game by Friday. While the takes from preseason must be... Read More
CHOO CHOO! The Fantasy Basketball Hype Train is a season-long fantasy basketball feature where I can just have fun and write about the players me, you, and everyone else already wants to talk about.

Player: Dewayne Dedmon Position: C Team: Atlanta Hawks Analysis: The Atlanta Hawks cleaned the cupboards this summer with the loss of Paul Millsap, Dwight Howard, and Tim Hardaway Jr. Because of that the team needed to retool their front line. That group will be anchored, especially on defense, by Dewayne Dedmon. The former Spur comes over... Read More
Player: Caris LeVert Position: SF Team: Brooklyn Nets Analysis: The Brooklyn Nets have been one of the worst teams in the NBA over the last few years, and often times that leads people to forget about some of their fantasy options. Now with D'Angelo Russell and Jeremy Lin, many people will overlook some of the other young... Read More
The season is creeping up on us and that means fantasy basketball is peering its ugly, attention-seeking head around whatever sports app you prefer to use. Albeit the monster that is fantasy basketball is one of the most engaging of all fantasy sports. While you might have some serious decisions already brewing around whether to... Read More
CHOO CHOO! This is a new season-long fantasy basketball feature where I can just have fun and write about the players me, you, and everyone else already wants to talk about. Are you ready for a ride on the fantasy basketball hype train? There's something about a "1/1/1" guy -- a player who can post... Read More
Player: Jamal Murray Team: Denver Nuggets Projected Role: (Uncertain) Starting Point Guard / Sixth Man What to Expect: While Jamal Murray's role is yet to be determined (Nuggets coach Michael Malone has stated that he will settle the ongoing point guard battle after the pre-season), one thing is clear: Denver is high on Jamal Murray. The second-year guard... Read More
Player: Gary Harris Team: Denver Nuggets Projected Role: Starting Shooting Guard What to Expect: Gary Harris, affectionately called "Garris" by the Nuggets fan base, quietly took quite a major leap last season. Thus far in the preseason and training camp, he appears to be picking up right where he left off. After trade rumors swirled around him... Read More
Player: Taurean Prince Position: SF Team: Atlanta Hawks Analysis: In his rookie year, Taurean Prince was a per-minute beast with averages of 5.7 PTS with 0.6 3PM on 40.0 FG% and 78.7 FT%, 2.7 REB, 0.9 AST, 0.7 STL, 0.5 BLK and 1.0 TO in just over 16 minutes per game. And that was on an Atlanta team that finished... Read More
If you're 13 rounds deep into your fantasy basketball draft and you've started wondering, what's the point? This guy's not going to be on my roster in two weeks. Well, we've got you covered. Today we'll take a look at three players to look out for as late round flyers for the 2017-18 NBA season.... Read More
CHOO CHOO! I'm rolling out a new season-long fantasy basketball feature where I can just have fun and write about the players me, you, and everyone else already wants to talk about. Are you ready for a ride on the fantasy basketball hype train? Comfortable enough squeezed in your hype seat with all the other... Read More
One of the biggest questions heading into the fantasy basketball season is where to draft already injured NBA stars. Players such as Isaiah Thomas, Jabari Parker and Zach LaVine provide a ton of fantasy value, but will likely begin the season on the injury list. Where you select injured players could either sink your team... Read More
