Steven Adams (C, NO) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 64 Overall CURRENT ADP: 78 ANALYSIS: The rumors finally became a reality, with 1) Oklahoma City entering full rebuild-mode and 2) Steven Adams being moved out of town as he didn't make much sense to keep there anymore. That's why Adams in now a Pelican and will share the court with […]

Brook Lopez (C, MIL) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 72 Overall CURRENT ADP: 89 ANALYSIS: After eight seasons playing big-man-ball, Brook decided enough was enough all the way back in 2017, when his three-point attempts jumped from 0.2 per game to 5.2 while still in Brooklyn. From that point on, Brook has been stretching the floor day in and day […]

Tristan Thompson (PF/C, BOS) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 85 Overall CURRENT ADP: 135 ANALYSIS: With the addition of Andre Drummond last season, the paint of the Cavs' squad was getting a little clogged. Thompson, a free agent this offseason, thus opted to bolt away and pack his bags to land in Boston where he will be the no. 1 […]

Joe Harris (SG/SF, BKN) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 90 Overall CURRENT ADP: 130 ANALYSIS: The Nets made it very clear from the very first moment that one of their priorities this offseason was to re-sign UFA Joe Harris, which they did at a high $75-million deal for the next four years. That's no small dough, folks, and even with […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic (SG/SF/PF, ATL) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 80 Overall CURRENT ADP: 96 ANALYSIS: Leading-man Trae Young bitched about the Hawks organization not making enough of an effort to put the team closer to the playoffs by last season's trade deadline. Atlanta added Clint Capela, but he couldn't even debut for the team. In another flurry of moves, the […]

Goran Dragic (PG/SG, MIA) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 84 Overall CURRENT ADP: 117 ANALYSIS: While Dragic was a key piece in Miami's run to the Finals, the truth is that he inflicted most of his 2020 damage once the Heat arrived in the bubble. Prior to that, Dragic had riden the pine all year long ceding starting-PG duties to […]

Malcolm Brogdon (PG/SG, IND) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 48 Overall CURRENT ADP: 61 ANALYSIS: The Bucks decided to pass on re-signing Malcolm Brogdon a couple of offseasons ago, and now folks are saying that it could cost them Giannis re-upping with the team to some extent. Will Brogdon also be part of Victor Oladipo's decision to stay or leave […]

Will Barton (SG/SF, DEN) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 95 Overall CURRENT ADP: 131 ANALYSIS: It was a real shame that we couldn't watch Will Barton ball inside the bubble last season. Denver surely missed him at times, and who knows what would have happened had he been available during the WCF... Anyways, looking at Barton's regular-season numbers from last […]

Nikola Vucevic (C, ORL) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 20 Overall CURRENT ADP: 35 ANALYSIS: I know. I know this series is meant to highlight draft sleepers. While Vuc is not a literal sleeper (ADP nearing 35) he is definitely an undervalued player, so I'm writing about him whether you like it or not. A modern, floor-stretching big, Vucevic might […]

Mohamed Bamba (C, ORL) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 100 Overall CURRENT ADP: 120 ANALYSIS: Although Bamba is actually getting drafted by fantasy GMs this season (ADP of around 120), he should be much better for the Magic than that number suggest. Mo has ample competition in Orlando to get heavy playing minutes in the zone, sure, but while Bamba […]

Daily NBA Injury Roundup for December 13th, 2020

RotoBaller has assembled a list of daily NBA injury updates to help you prepare both your seasonal and daily fantasy basketball (DFS) lineups, every day of the NBA season. Below is our updated list of injured NBA players for December 13th, 2020. Only players on teams that are scheduled to play today will appear below […]

Josh Hart Expected To Have Significant Role

New Orleans Pelicans forward Josh Hart could play a significant role in the rotation this season, according to head coach Stan Van Gundy. Hart averaged 10.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.7 assists last season. The Pelicans don't have much depth behind Brandon Ingram, so Hart should see plenty of minutes. He should be a sneaky […]

Hassan Whiteside Progressing To 3-On-3 Workouts

Sacramento Kings center Hassan Whiteside (calf) has progressed to 3-on-3 workouts as early as Monday. Head coach Luke Walton mentioned that Whiteside could play some minutes over the next two preseason games. It'll be interesting to see how Walton decides to split up the minutes between all the bigs. Whiteside should be able to hold […]

Michael Porter Jr. (SF/PF, DEN) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 50 Overall CURRENT ADP: 62 ANALYSIS: It took Michael Porter Jr. (or better said, Denver) time to look like the late-season version of himself, but it finally happened. After red-shirting for a year in 2019, Porter debuted last season for the Nuggets and the truth is that his 55 games (and […]

Buddy Hield (SG, SAC) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 40 Overall CURRENT ADP: 58 ANALYSIS: For someone with so many doubts around his name and role entering 2021--not to mention he's part of the very putrid Sacramento Kangz--, Hield's ADP is rather high in peak draft-season. Even then, though, Hield's performance levels of 2020 were better than his current ADP would make you […]

Andrew Wiggins (SG/SF, GSW) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 53 Overall CURRENT ADP: 75 ANALYSIS: Wiggins split time between cold Minny and sunny San Francisco last season, and although he could only play 12 games for the Warriors while put on a completely new system for him, his numbers didn't drop a lot. That bodes well for him entering 2021, a […]

Eric Gordon (SG/SF, HOU) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 128 Overall CURRENT ADP: 142 ANALYSIS: Gordon’s fantasy value hinges on the status of stars John Wall and James Harden. Gordon has minimal when both are on the floor, but due to Harden's pending trade request and Wall's injury history, Gordon could have a ton of value as we get deep into […]

Shake Milton (PG/SG, PHI) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 130 Overall CURRENT ADP: 145 ANALYSIS: Milton’s season was a story of two halves as he filled in for an injured Ben Simmons much of the year. As a starter he posted a more than respectable 12.5 points and 3.8 assists a game, while that dropped to a meager 4.9 points […]

Delon Wright (SG/SF, DET) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 130 Overall CURRENT ADP: 142 ANALYSIS: Wright has always been a solid rotational guard in the league and a player you were happy to pick up when injuries happened to players in front of him.  Now in Detroit, the veteran guard could find a nice role with Derrick Rose and rookie […]

Lugentz Dort (SG/SF, OKC) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 120 Overall CURRENT ADP: 141 ANALYSIS: Entering his second season, it is clear that the Thunder covet Dort’s skill set as he played over 34 minutes in three of six playoff games he made an appearance in. That was highlighted by his monster 30-point outing against the Rockets in which he […]

Hamidou Diallo (SG/SF, OKC) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 150 Overall CURRENT ADP: 175 ANALYSIS: Oklahoma City is in full rebuild mode. The Thunder will now enter test-the-waters mode and thus they will be forced to play their young guys to see what they have in the roster, who can stay, and who's not worth keeping going forward. That means […]

Darius Garland (PG, CLE) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 145 Overall CURRENT ADP: 197 ANALYSIS: It's not that we're in love (no pun intended) with Cleveland, but you always have to go after young players in bad teams. The Cavs are precisely that, a bad team headed to another high-lottery pick that's going to be forced into giving their recently-drafted […]

Jakob Poeltl (C, SAS) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 145 Overall CURRENT ADP: 195 ANALYSIS: Poeltl's not the safest pick of the year, as his role in San Antonio hasn't been super consistent over his two seasons there. But he started all eight games in the bubble, averaging 8.3 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.9 steals, and 1.4 blocks per […]

Bol Bol Feels Comfortable At Power Forward

Denver Nuggets center Bol Bol mentioned that he feels most comfortable at power forward, but is willing to play whatever head coach Mike Malone asks of him. It's unlikely that Bol gets much playing time at power forward with Paul Millsap and Michael Porter Jr. healthy heading into the season. His best path to minutes […]

Marvin Bagley Is Ready To Prove The Haters Wrong

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley is playing with a chip on his shoulder heading into this season. He is ready to prove the haters wrong having an injury-riddled 2019-2020 campaign. Bagley mentioned that he is feeling great and head coach Luke Walton confirmed that Bagley has looked impressive during camp. Hopefully, Bagley can actually stay […]
