Tuesday Recap Spencer Dinwiddie     45.50 FPTs   31P/7A/2R/1S Harrison Barnes      20.50 FPTs    14P/1A/4R Alex Len      13.75 FPTs     9P/5R NetsDaily Spencer Dinwiddie was the only lock that I hit on last night. He was the leading scorer in the game, 31 points in 39 minutes. I am glad Dinwiddie managed to put up his fantasy numbers because points were hard to come by a lot of the game. It was 93-93 heading into OT, the Nets Read More

Monday Recap Giannis Antetokounmpo 76 FPTs 48 P/4A/14R/1S/1B Tyler Herro 35.25 FPTs 22P/3A/5R/1S Trey Lyles 23.50 FPTs 8P/4R SB Nation Giannis had a monster game against the Doncicless Mavericks. He had a 48 and 14 double double and he chipped in with a steal and block on the other end as well. Unfortunately, Giannis’ huge night couldn’t extend the Bucks 18 game winning streak, Dallas pulled out the 120-116 win. Tyler Herro had a fantastic game off the bench for Read More

Sunday Recap Buddy Hield   33.50 FPTs      19P/4A/4R/2S Julius Randle    36.25 FPTs     20P/2A/9R/1S Marvin Bagley    27.50 FPTs    17P/2A/6R Slam Buddy Hield had a good game against the Warriors. He didn’t have as big a day as I thought/hoped, Buddy has shown he can drop easily drop 30+ points and the Warriors are one of the worst teams in the league defending the 3. Hield ended up with 19 points, going 2-5 from 3, and finished Read More

Saturday Recap Bradley Beal 56.50 FPTs 29P/4A/10R/4S Jaren Jackson Jr. 29 FPTs 16P/1A/4R/2B/1S PJ Tucker 14 FPTs 3P/3A/4R/1S Bleacher Report Beal had a big game against the Grizzlies. He finished with a double double, scoring 29 points and 10 rebounds, he also added 4 steals on the defensive end. Not much to complain about here, 56.50 is a great point total. Jaren Jackson Jr. had an average game, infact, he finished right at his fantasy average. 16 points and 4 rebounds Read More

Friday Recap Trae Young 46.25 FPTs 23P/8A/7R/1B Clint Capela 29.25 FPTs 10P/11R/2B Richaun Holmes 9.75 FPTs 4P/5R Sports Illustrated Young didn’t go off for 49 points like the last time the Hawks played the Pacers but he put up some pretty good numbers in an Atlanta loss. Trae finished with 23 points, 8 rebounds and 7 rebounds, with the way my picks have been going I’m chalking this up as a win. Capela had a terrible night and he still finished with a double Read More

Thursday Recap DeMar DeRozan 35.50 FPTs 21P/4A/4R/2S Jayson Tatum 27.75 FPTs 15P/4A/3R/1B Tim Hardaway Jr. 7.25 FPTs 2P/5R My lineup had the death touch. It wasn’t just my “locks, it was every player except Doncic and Kanter. I had Bryn Forbes, I’m still not 100% certain he was in the arena. Maxi Kleber looked lost on on offense and he was getting bullied on defense. I got another terrible night from Ben Simmons too, he finished with 7 points 6 assists and 8 rebounds. Bleacher Read More

Wednesday Recap Buddy Hield   45 FPTs      23P/6A/6R/2S PJ Tucker      19.25 FPTs     8P/1A/5R/2S Jaxson Hayes   27.25 FPTs    12P/1A/5R/2S/2B Sports Illustrated Buddy Hield had a disappointing first half against the Thunder, he had 5 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assists and 1 steal and he was sitting at 12.25 fantasy points (and a snowflake). He ended up catching fire in the second half finishing with 23 points and hitting 5 threes. Buddy Read More

Tuesday Recap Ben Simmons 28.75 FPTs 7P/7A/9R RJ Barrett 10 FPTs 5P/4R Marcus Morris 12.75 FPTs 10P/3R Daily Knicks Ben Simmons had a disappointing night. I was hoping Ben could get on a roll and notch a triple double. He had 7 points 6 assists and 7 rebounds going into the 4th quarter, unfortunately he only added 1 assist and 2 rebounds in the quarter and was a non factor. Ben was a huge success last night compared to my other locks Well, you don’t get rich picking Read More

Monday Recap Andre Drummond     26.50 FPTs    13P/10R Tristan Thompson   33.25 FPTs     17P/1A/11R/1S Derrick Rose      36.75 FPTs     21P/7A/3R/1B Bleacher Report Drummond had a rough game. He had early foul trouble and when he was in the game the Pelicans did a good job of containing him on offense and running screen after screen on him on the defensive end. Andre looked really slow tonight and New Orleans took advantage of it. Read More

Sunday Recap Fred VanVleet 7.75 FPTs 2P/2A/1R Danilo Gallinari 20.75 FPTs 12P/7R/1S Rui Hachimura 31.75 17P/4A/7R Yahoo Fred VanVleet left in the 2nd Quarter with a knee contusion, but he did nothing in the 12 minutes he played. He only took one shot, he would hide in the corner and was barely moving to get his shot or do anything on offense really. He looked lethargic and passive before he left with the injury. Bad luck, I have had great success with FVV Read More
