Aaron Gordon (SF/PF, ORL) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add for Upside OWNED: 41% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues Orlando took Aaron Gordon, a super-athletic but raw combo forward, 4th overall in the 2014 draft. Gordon’s rookie year was a bit of a disappointment, but the athleticism and potential was on display for all to see. Many expected a significant jump in […]

NBA Centers: Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers

The waiver wire this week is filled with guys who may not blow you away with their overall production but should intrigue you because of their consistency night in and night out. Finding someone who is going to contribute every night is more important than potential and possible production. Also, getting rid of guys who […]

Chris Bosh (PF, MIA) - Big Money Play on DraftKings 1/11

Chris Bosh (at GS, $7,800) If the Heat want to hand the Warriors only their third loss this season, they'll need a big performance from their veteran power forward. Granted I'm talking as if the Heat aren't a good team this year, but with the way Golden State has been playing, they could give the famous […]

Derrick Rose (PG, CHI) and Jimmy Butler (SG, CHI) - Stack on DraftKings 1/11

Derrick Rose (vs WAS, $6,000) Rose appears to finally be healthy, for now. He has scored double-digits in seven straight, while his minutes continue to teeter around and exceed 30 minutes a night. Rose has posted 30+ fantasy points in four out of his last five, and will likely be pinned against one of the league's […]

Donald Sloan (PG, BKN) - Value Play on DraftKings 1/11

Donald Sloan (vs SA, $3,700) Disaster can harshly described what's been going on for the Nets this season, even more so once Jarret Jack went down with injury. Newly appointed starting point guard Shane Larkin hasn't really impressed in his relief role, nor has Markel Brown in the emerging opportunity. Although Saturday night, Donald Sloan may […]

Randal Grichuk (OF, STL) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target in middle rounds CURRENT ADP: 189 ANALYSIS:  Despite a strikeout rate north of 30 percent, Grichuk managed to hit .276 last season. Paired with 17 homers, 96 R+RBI, and four steals in just 350 plate appearances, that made him a pretty nifty in-season pickup for many fantasy owners. Normally, a middling walk […]

David Peralta (OF, ARI) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target in early-to-middle rounds CURRENT ADP: 135 ANALYSIS:  David Peralta was one of the most under-the-radar breakouts during the 2015 season, hitting .312/.371/.522 with 17 homers and nine steals as he played his way into the Diamondbacks' starting left field gig. Only four other hitters managed to hit .300 while also producing an […]

Alex Rodriguez (DH, NYY) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target in late rounds CURRENT ADP: 253 ANALYSIS: In his age-40 season, after missing all of 2014 and playing in just 265 games over the three years prior, Alex Rodriguez produced an .842 OPS, 33 homers, and 169 R+RBI. No matter how you feel about him as a person or player, that's impressive. […]

NBA Under-Performing Stars: Small Forward Edition

We have a little more to talk about from the small forward position this time around. It was important to play conservative earlier in the season because the small forward position is shallow and dropping your drafted player could likely come back and haunt you. We are now almost at the halfway point of the […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/10/16

Injuries and matchups will always factor into putting together a solid DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball lineup. All we can ever do is hope that the favorable matchups on paper result to production on the court. And cross our fingers that a player in a spot-start lights up the scoreboard and imitates whoever he's replacing. But […]

Ian Mahinmi (C, IND) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: With the departure of Roy Hibbert last offseason, Ian Mahinmi has started all 33 games for which he was active this year for the Indiana Pacers. Now in his eighth season in the NBA, Mahinmi is seeing career highs in minutes (24.2), points […]

Nikola Pekovic (C, MIN) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Nikola Pekovic made his season debut on Wednesday after missing the Minnesota Timberwolves' first 35 games with an Achilles injury that dates back to last season. He made three of his four field goals and all six of his free throws, finishing with […]

Pau Gasol (C, CHI) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/9/16

Pau Gasol (at ATL, $8,200) Gasol continues to play big minutes with Noah out, and he has been playing well recently. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 19.0 points, 11.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 2.7 blocks per game. He gets a good matchup against the Hawks, who have really struggled against the center this season. Gasol […]

Eduardo Rodriguez (SP, BOS) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

TARGET: ~200 CURRENT ADP: 276 ANALYSIS: If you owned Rodriguez in 2015, you know how great he actually was for the majority of his starts, as well as how awful it was to start him in the four games he got shelled. Despite those four starts where he gave up six, seven, eight, and nine […]

Joe Ross (SP, WAS) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

TARGET: ~170 CURRENT ADP: 207 ANALYSIS: It’s not a given that Ross will have a spot in the Nationals’ 2016 starting rotation, but he is definitely a favorite and I’d be approaching him as if the #5 spot is his. The upside is too good. Not only does he pitch for a Nationals team that gets to face […]

Jose Quintana (SP, CHW) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

TARGET: ~140 CURRENT ADP: 178 ANALYSIS: Quick, what do you think Quintana’s ERA was last year? If you were anywhere close to the actual number (3.36), you probably owned him. Guess what? His 2014 ERA was even lower at 3.32. He’s pitched 200 innings in each of his past three seasons, but has also only recorded nine wins […]

Raisel Iglesias (SP, CIN) - 2016 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

TARGET: ~135 CURRENT ADP: 168 ANALYSIS: Iglesias put together quite the finish on his 2015, leading to quite a bit of buzz surrounding him as the 2016 season starts to peek out over the horizon. Iglesias didn’t really see consistent work in the majors until he entered the rotation after the All Star break, and then he went […]

Victor Oladipo (SG, ORL) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/9/16

Victor Oladipo (vs WAS, $6,800) Elfrid Payton is questionable tonight, but he wasn’t very close to playing last night, which makes me believe he’s a bit closer to doubtful. Oladipo has dominated in three consecutive starts now, and he has earned the big minutes he’s playing. He gets a good matchup against the Wizards, who love to push […]

Kyle Lowry (PG, TOR) and James Johnson (SF, TOR) - DraftKings Stack on 1/9/16

Kyle Lowry (at PHI, $8,600) Lowry has been on fire recently, as he’s averaging 19.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 8.7 assists, and 2.5 steals per game over the last 10 days. He has scored 45 fantasy points in five consecutive games, and he gets a great matchup against the Sixers tonight. Lowry has an ability to score in […]

Klay Thompson (SG, GS) - DraftKings Smart and Solid Play on 1/9/16

Klay Thompson (at SAC, $8,000) Thompson has been scoring exceptionally well recently, and he also has the ability to add a few peripheral stats each night. He gets a great matchup against the Kings, who have really struggled against scorers this season. There is a bit of a blowout factor here tonight, which is worrisome, but Thompson […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice - NBA DFS Lineup Picks for 1/9/16

Top MLB Starting Pitcher Prospects for 2016 Dynasty Leagues

Getting an edge on starting pitching is very important for fantasy baseball owners. Because there are so many starting pitchers available for owners, it is advised that owners stash a few top tier pitchers and stream pitchers with favorable matchups for the backend of their rotation. Starting pitching prospects can give the wary fantasy owner […]

Patrick Patterson (PF, TOR) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/8/16

Patrick Patterson (at WAS, $3,700) Patterson hasn’t been a great player, but he is extremely cheap and he plays fairly big minutes. Over the last 10 games, he scored 20+ fantasy points in three games, including a great 37 fantasy point performance. He gets a good matchup against Washington, and Patterson is the type of guy that […]

Kevin Durant (SF, OKC) - DraftKings Big Money Play on 1/8/16

Kevin Durant (at LAL, $10,300) In his last game, Durant was listed as out, but he ended up starting and scoring 56.75 fantasy points. He also scored 55.25 fantasy points in his game before that, and Durant is catching fire. He has dominated the Lakers in limited minutes this season, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see […]

Devin Booker (SG, PHO) and T.J. Warren (SF, PHO) - DraftKings Stack on 1/8/16

Devin Booker (vs MIA, $4,700) Booker is locked into big minutes for the Suns, and he is an extremely talented player. He has scored 35+ fantasy points in two of his last three games, and he has great upside. Booker is a lights out shooter, but he’s also athletic enough to add peripheral stats. It’s very […]
