Kevin Huerter (SG, ATL): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: Kevin Huerter missed ample time from Dec. 17 to Jan. 3 but once he was back for good he's not surrendered the starting gig more than two games in a row--and that happened all the way back before mid-January. It's now been […]

Nicolas Batum (SG/SF, LAC): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: For someone past his peak, Nicolas Batum keeps racking up starts on a nightly basis in this barren Clips squad. The Clippers might opt to make some moves and sell the house come trade-deadline day, and we'll see how that goes, but […]

Chuma Okeke (PF, ORL): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues ANALYSIS: After a month of play in which Chuma Okeke started 10 of 12 games (from mid-December to mid-January), the Magic sent Okeke back to the pine and trusted him to man a second-unit leading role. So far, so good for the second-year […]

Gary Harris (SG/SF, ORL): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: If you go check Gary Harris' fantasy profile you're going to think he's been a rather putrid option all season long. Makes sense on an FP/min basis considering Harris started every game (29 of them) from Nov. 20 to Jan. 26 while […]

Luke Kennard (SG, LAC): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 44% of leagues ANALYSIS: Luke Kennard's last couple of games through Friday were not his best of the year, that's for sure. He could only play 16 minutes to close January in a game in which he finished 2-1-2 shooting 14% from the floor, and although […]

Kevon Looney (PF/C, GSW): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: Another week, another set of starts for the Warriors center given the inexistent depth of the team at the big-man position. Seriously. With Draymond Green expected to miss three or four more weeks and James Wiseman not even on the radar, it's […]

Javonte Green (PG/SG/SF, CHI): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: Coby White and Zach LaVine are day-to-day casualties as I'm writing this on Saturday. Not that this is the main reason for Javonte Green to become an important part of the Bulls lineup, though, as Green has started the last 18 games […]

P.J. Tucker (SF/PF, MIA): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: I don't even know how I landed on P.J. Tucker, but here we are now I guess... Tuck Tuck is most definitively a winning asset to have around in an NBA squad. Now, in a fantasy team? That's more of a question […]

Ayo Dosunmu (PG, CHI): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 56% of leagues ANALYSIS: Ayo! It's now been 12 starts in a row for the Rookie of the Year! Let's go! Ayo Dosunmu came absolutely out of left field just by virtue of pure necessity, and oh boy is he thriving while manning the point for […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/5/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We have a typically-small five-game Saturday slate on tap tonight, and it's not going to be the easiest night to dissect as value appears to be slim outside of OKC. The top two games to target look to be the Bucks-Blazers and Heat-Hornets as those matchups hold high totals and weak defense on the Blazers […]

DraftKings MMA, UFC DFS Lineup Picks - UFC Vegas 47: Hermansson vs. Strickland

We can't sugarcoat it in any possible way: it's been a rather slow start to the 2022 calendar year when it comes to UFC events. Yes, we got UFC 270 and another event in Vegas prior to that, but we were coming off a month-long hiatus and we have now waited two weeks instead of […]

Batting Order: Using Sabermetrics for Fantasy Baseball

You may be wondering why there aren't any advanced stats aimed at predicting a player's counting stats like runs and RBI. The answer is simple: modern sabermetrics reject the idea of a "clutch RBI guy" and therefore do not bother inventing predictive metrics for it. Runs and RBI are team-dependent stats and are unhelpful in ascertaining […]

A nine-game slate this Friday opens up the weekend with seven interconference matchups. Between Cavaliers-Hornets and Raptors-Hawks, there are plenty of playoff implications on the line and we are going to see these specific matchups quite a few more teams before the season concludes. Atlanta is down a 0-1 in their series against Toronto, but […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (2/4/22)

Happy Friday, RotoBallers! Friday nights usually bring excellent NBA slates and tonight is no exception as we have nine games tonight including a late-night national TV game with the Sixers facing the Mavericks in Dallas on ESPN. Wednesday was a frustrating night for me. Denver ended up sitting most of their regulars and I had […]

With the NFL off for a whole week before the Super Bowl, the NBA has center stage in the sports world. We have a solid 7-game slate for a Thursday and some really compelling games to attack tonight.
