1.) Spencer Dinwiddie, PG, Brooklyn Nets The injury bug has hit the Nets backcourt once again as Kyrie Irving and Caris LeVert both sidelined. That sucks but at the same time, it will be an opportunity to find someone who will most probably fill up the slack. There's no doubt in anybody's mind that for Brooklyn, that SOMEONE is Spencer Dinwiddie. Dinwiddie has now averaged 26 points, three rebounds, and six assists over the past two games with 5 total blocks and steals. Along with Dinwiddie, Read More
1.) Nicollo Melli, PF, New Orleans Pelicans via Sky Sport The Pelicans are basically the walking dead right now. Derrick Favors, Jahlil Okafor, Brandon Ingram and Josh Hart are all out leaving only Jaxson Hayes and Melli to man the frontcourt. Hayes is also a pretty good option considering he had a double-double the last time but Melli is averaging 13-5-3 plus 1.5 steals in the last two games. Both can be rostered given how cheap Melli and Hayes are, but if I have to choose, I'd go for Read More
Points Eric Paschall, SF/PF, Golden State Warriors USA Today Paschall is averaging 15.6 points in the season, which is certainly not bad for a rookie. But in the past three games, the 23-year old is good for 20.3 points a game, even better scoring than Kemba Walker, Blake Griffin, or Kristaps Porzingis over that span.Without D'Angelo Russell, Steph Curry, and Klay Thompson, the Warriors will need every scoring drop from Paschall's repertoire. That's why he is going to be one of the better Read More
It seems like Rajon Rondo is still going to help a lot of fantasy teams in assists. With dimes being the hardest category to recover from (only a total of 36 players are averaging at least FIVE assists per game this season), Rondo's 41.2% career AST rate will come in handy. In his first game for the Lakers this season, Rondo delivered SEVEN assists plus six rebounds in only 14 minutes of play. Trae Young just became the youngest player in NBA history to record three consecutive games of at least Read More
1.) Harrison Barnes, PF, Sacramento Kings Barnes has been picking up the slack with Marvin Bagley out averaging a cool 19.2 points, five rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.8 steals on 50% shooting (40% from deep) over the last five games. During that span, he scored over 30 fantasy points in each. 2.) Bogdan Bogdanovic, SG/SF, Sacramento Kings Took a while but Bogie is finally starting to get hot. In the past two games, Bogdanovic is registering 21 points, three rebounds, four assists, 1.5 steals, and Read More
1.) League of his own Devin Booker, through eight games, is the only player in the NBA to have shot over 50% from the field, 50% from 3 in at least 5 attempts per game, and shoot over 90% from the line. 2.) Celtics Quirk From out of nowhere, the Boston Celtics sits atop the Eastern Conference by stringing seven straight after losing its first game. Now without Kyrie Irving, Boston got contributions from everywhere: Marcus Smart co-leads the team in assists with Kemba Walker (4.5), while Jayson Read More
You may know pretty well about Anthony Davis or LeBron James, or how Damian Lillard scored 60 the last time out. However, the beauty of DFS is finding value among lesser-known players. Here are 5 you can consider for NBA DFS Sunday, Nov. 10: 1.) Fred VanVleet, PG, Toronto Raptors The Raptors are in Los Angeles to visit the red-hot Lakers and while that is must-see TV, the defending champs are two men down going into Sunday's matchup. Kyle Lowry had a thumb injury which will keep him on the shelf Read More
It's just been a little over two weeks since the 2019-20 NBA season tipoff but it already provides us with plenty of material for some really fascinating facts and stats: 1.) The Assists Battle LeBron James is the runaway leader in APG early in the season with 11.1 but Malcolm Brogdon edged him 79-78 for the total assist count as the Pacers played their eighth game Thursday. Four out of the top 5 in APG this season were nowhere near the league leaders in the category last season. Only Russell Westbrook. Read More
1.) Rudy Gobert, C, Utah Jazz (Buy Low) Currently ranked 126th in Yahoo and 66th in the Player Rater, Rudy Gobert is not the top-20 player we projected him to be in a VERY SMALL SAMPLE SIZE. The rebounds are there (12.0) but since he is dependent on one category (blocks) that is basically non-existent for his standards (1.1), the Stifle Tower is relegated to that very low fantasy ranking. Couple that with an unusually high turnover rate (2.9 per game) and that's a recipe for disaster. Which means Read More
1.) Dario Saric, PF, Phoenix Suns Saric is a little up-and-down for the Suns but they will draw the Croatian's former team, the Sixers, at home. I don't know if there's any scientific study out there but these NBA players do hold grudges against their former teams. I won't be surprised if Saric will be a little more motiviated for tomorrow's tiff. 2.) Any of the Sixer trio Joel Embiid is serving the second of a two-game suspension which means Tobias Harris, Al Horford, and Ben Simmons all have Read More
