At long last, the NBA finally returns and it will feature matchups between the Pels and Jazz plus Lakers and Clippers. The rules regarding the Orlando bubble is obviously a little different but when it comes to DFS, there's not much that's changes.
What I can say, though, is that there will be players that have multiplied their values in the bubble. Some of the players that opted out opened up the way for others to step up to an increased role. We will take a look at 10 of these players and sneak Read More
It was a nice 11-game Sunday and as a basketball fan, that's all you can ask for.
I did offer my thoughts on the early schedule, and I was pretty much on point except with Kawhi Leonard. Leonard had 27 points but only two rebounds and an assist. That's not going to cut it if he is your number one guy. If you had Jrue Holiday, then that's the game-changer as he finished with 37-9-8 plus a steal and a block.
Now to the rest of the games, again everyone was pretty solid except if you followed through Read More
It was two days ago where I last had the BEST VALUE PICKS and I pretty much got everything right except for De'Andre Hunter's pedestrian performance. However, his fantasy points that night where just on his average so I should not complain much.
Suggested Aaron Gordon and even though he had 15-10-4 plus extras, it could have easily been around 45 FP if not for the blowout.
Bam Adebayo had a single-digit points output but made up for it by stuffing the stat sheet. The first-time All-Star had 12 Read More
It's a rare occurrence for me to botch a stud suggestion but I did last time with Kawhi Leonard. The reasoning behind the selection is Leonard's previous performances and he may need to exert more against a better opponent. Turns out, the Clippers did not need much from Kawhi on this one by blowing out Denver, 130-103, with Leonard playing only 25 minutes.
That said, the Aaron Gordon suggestion was an absolute spot-on. AG had a triple double against the Wolves-- 17 points, 11 rebounds, and 12 assists-- Read More
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the current state of the Sixers should allow primarily Tobias Harris and Al Horford to shine. If you did pick up on my suggestion and perhaps even took it further by buying Shake Milton, you are in pretty good shape.
Harris started out strong and finished even stronger to the tune of 34 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, a steal and a block. Horford flirted with a triple double (15-7-9 plus a steal and a block) while Milton had 19-3-4 plus Read More
Season-long fantasy basketball is a tricky business that combines foresight and sheer luck. The most important key to winning your league is, not on the first two rounds or a midseason stash, but somehow finding someone that vastly outperforms his Average Draft Position (ADP). You do that and you win your league. That's it. Show's over.
Now, if you have one or two or three of these players, you definitely are among the top teams in your league. If you don't get lazy and set your lineup night in Read More
Based on the headline alone, you can readily see that I'm somewhat biased when it comes to the events I'm going to watch in the NBA All-Star Weekend in Chicago this year. I think the Dunk Contest and the Three-Point shootout is when I see a semblance of competition, so I'm not going to miss that for anything. Unless the NBA decides to include a King of the Court competition (or something of that sort) for the Saturday festivities, them slam dunks and three-pointers are going to be the center of Read More
There were some big hits and big misses in my yesterday's picks and let me begin by saying Buddy Hield, Nemanja Bjelica, and Kris Dunn were horrible. The Kings were blown out of the water so understandably, their main guns sat out with the game already decided.
I haven't watch the Bulls-Pacers game but the overtime should have helped Dunn's cause. Instead, he was down to 16 minutes of playing time. The strong play of several Bulls including Chandler Hutchison (21 points) and Cristiano Felicio (11 Read More
It's a sad day for the NBA right now with the passing of the legendary Kobe Bryant. As someone who has followed the guy's career-- the peaks, the valleys, and everything in between-- there are no words to describe what happened. It's just tragic.
Anyway, as Kawhi Leonard puts it, he would have wanted everyone to still ball and be great at it, so let's go right on and play.
Jan. 25 recap:
I was definitely, definitely wrong about Ben Simmons in the Sixers matchup with the Lakers. I failed to recognize Read More
A six-game slate on Sunday provides us with a lot of options but you need to give it a second thought before you decide to tap the services of any of these players.
1.) Luka Doncic, PG, Mavericks
Doncic possibly came up with the best game of his career against LeBron James and the Lakers but he did not come out unscathed on that one.
While he did register an insane 31-13-15 outing, he needed stitches after he was hit by the head. The Mavs did not rule him out Sunday versus Cleveland (for now) but Read More
