Immanuel Quickley (PG, NYK) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: With Tom Thibodeau at the Knicks' helm, it will never happen, but there are growing voices calling for RJ Barrett's benching in favor of Immanuel Quickley. Of course, and again, that will never happen in New York as that'd mean sending the […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS: As we enter the trade deadline week, all whispers are pointing toward Denver trading Bones Hyland in the event they decide to move someone elsewhere instead of veteran Bruce Brown. Brown has moved in and out of the starting five this season […]

Malik Beasley (SG, UTA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues ANALYSIS: Malik Beasley's appeal has gone down a bit after he had a couple of impressive months to start the season in Utah as the main off-the-pine heater. He averaged around 24 FPPG from October 19 to December 19 and he's now at […]

Busch Light Clash DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel NASCAR Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks

NASCAR's back! The Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum takes center stage on Sunday night. While NASCAR has run this preseason exhibition race since 1979, this is just the second year of its current iteration, which is run on a custom-built track inside the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Unfortunately for DFS players, we won't know […]

De'Anthony Melton (SG, PHI) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of leagues ANALYSIS: De'Anthony Melton keeps starting games for the Sixers, keeps putting up numbers, and keeps getting wildly under-rostered percentages for someone contributing as much as he does all across the stat sheet. Barring a two-game skid in which Melton didn't start by mid-January, […]

Joey Logano Facing Different Reality At Los Angeles

Joey Logano comes into 2023 as the defending NASCAR series champion. Also, Logano won the Busch Light Clash At The Coliseum last year. After Saturday, the Team Penske driver has a little work to do. He spun out in practice and qualifying ended up a so-so 17th. Logano's No. 22 car was not very fast […]

Ross Chastain And The Clash On Sunday

Ross Chastain had the 12th fastest car in qualifying on Saturday night. The TrackHouse Racing driver brought his No. 1 car with decent practice results. That may help for the heats where the Coliseum track expects to be 10-15 degrees warmer at a minimum. It will be intriguing to see what happens on the longer […]

Ty Gibbs Has To Race Into Coliseum Main Event

If someone was looking for Ty Gibbs and his name on qualifying list, you were not going to find it. Gibbs was lightning fast in practice but then his car caught on fire literally. That resulted in enough damage to the Toyota to keep the Joe Gibbs Racing driver from qualifying. He will begin Sunday […]

Kyle Larson Bit Of A Wildcard At Los Angeles

Kyle Larson had a quick car in practice at times and finished tenth in qualifying on the 1/4 mile track at the Coliseum. Now, the question is can he keep the emotions in check? Last year, he finished a distant fifth. However, practice showed the No. 5 car to be a bit slower coming out […]

Jabari Smith Jr. (PF, HOU) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 33% of leagues ANALYSIS: Down, up, and now back down. That's the rookie season of Jabari Smith Jr. in a nutshell, but that also means that he can do it while going through the growing pains as a freshman in a league full of already-grown men. The positive […]

Alex Bowman Qualified Ninth At Los Angeles

Pouring through the numbers and seeing Alex Bowman qualify ninth at the Coliseum was a mild surprise. Bowman and his No. 48 car turned in a best lap of 13.624 seconds. Hendrick Motorsports have three of their cars in the top ten (Chase Elliott was 30th). It is a challenge to gauge how fast the […]

A.J. Allmendinger Has Exciting Saturday At Coliseum

A.J. Allmendinger got ready for the Busch Light Clash At The Coliseum with an eventful Saturday. He qualified eighth for Kaulig Racing with a time of 13.623 seconds.

Denny Hamlin Starts Second In Heat Three At Coliseum

Denny Hamlin turned in the seventh quickest time in qualifying on Saturday night. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver got his Toyota around the track in 13.621 seconds.

Austin Dillon Continues Chevy Theme In Los Angeles

Austin Dillon ended up sixth-fastest in qualifying on Saturday. His 13.605 second time was good enough to put him in a prime position. The Richard Childress Racing driver will begin Heat 2 behind new teammate Kyle Busch. That No. 3 car did get faster and faster as the laps ticked down in practice too. Last […]

Aric Almirola Rises To Fifth In Qualifying Saturday

Aric Almirola was fairly consistent in practice much like William Byron. The results were nearly similar too in qualifying. Almirola finished with a best lap of exactly 13.6 seconds. That qualified the Ford racer fifth for Sunday's heats. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver will be behind Justin Haley for Heat 1 at the Coliseum. These Busch […]

Dillon Brooks (SG/SF, MEM) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 54% of leagues ANALYSIS: Let's not focus on the wrong things when discussing Dillon Brooks, folks. That little thing he did to Donovan Mitchell sucked, I loathed to watch it, but that's it for our fantasy purposes. So, Dillon Brooks. Brooks got hit with a one-game […]

William Byron Qualifies Fourth For Sunday At Los Angeles

William Byron sneaked into the top-five in qualifying on Saturday night with a time of 13.596 seconds. That gets him to the front of Heat 4 on Sunday afternoon with a great chance to easily qualify for the main event. The top-five drivers from each of the four heats automatically advance. Byron was consistent in […]

Christopher Bell Surprises Some At Coliseum Saturday

Christopher Bell enjoys short-track racing, dirt racing, Chili Bowl racing, and simply just racing. Bell and his Joe Gibbs Racing car ended up third in qualifying on Saturday night. He will lead the racers coming out for Heat 3 on Sunday afternoon. Bell turned in a qualifying lap of 13.569 seconds and did not appear […]

Kyle Busch Loves Los Angeles Again On Saturday

Kyle Busch may have switched racing teams in the off-season, but he can still race fast around the 1/4 mile Coliseum track. Busch and his Richard Childress Racing car qualified second on Saturday at 66.41 mph (13.55 seconds). The No. 8 car stayed fast in practice but as track temperatures dropped, Busch's brakes stuck less […]

Justin Haley Heats Up Coliseum Track Saturday

While temperatures cooled down, Justin Haley heated things up on Saturday at the Coliseum. The Kaulig Racing driver topped all racers with a lap speed of 67.099 mph in qualifying Saturday night. Qualifying at night did not slow down the No. 31 car much at all. Haley will reach in Heat 1 of the Busch […]

Caris LeVert (SG, CLE) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 44% of leagues ANALYSIS: Where Caris LeVert will be playing basketball by the end of next week, nobody knows. That's because the Cavs have a loaded backcourt in which LeVert is probably the odd man out nightly and going forward, something that for someone as talented […]

Nikola Jokic Registers Another Triple-Double

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic posted a third-consecutive triple-double in Saturday's 128-108 win over the Hawks, tallying 14 points, 18 rebounds and 10 assists.

Royce O'Neale (SF, BKN) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: It is happening. Again. I'm writing this less than 12 hours from the moment Sams and Woj dropped the Kyrie Bomb: Irving wants a trade out of Brooklyn. Sheesh. That has little to do with Royce O'Neale, of course, and more with […]

3 Fantasy Baseball Hitters Slated to Breakout Earlier Than Their Prime in 2023

Some ball players are just built differently. The superstars of the MLB world tend to break out well before their prime, far closer to the age of 20 than the generally accepted age-28 prime season. Let's be honest, even though he was promoted at the ripe age of 19, few expected Juan Soto to explode […]
