1.) Dennis Schroder, PG, Los Angeles Lakers It sucks to see LeBron James go down like that and worse, he could miss a couple of weeks with that high ankle sprain. Fantasy-wise, a lot of players will benefit from the King's absence. Schroder will handle the ball a lot and some usage also trickles to Kyle Kuzma and Talen Horton-Tucker. That said, my money is on Schroder to bounce back from a sub-par outing against Atlanta. 2.) Pascal Siakam, C, Toronto Raptors Probably a desperation move, Nick Nurse
Read More I learned from opening night not to trust rookies until you see how they're played. Killian Hayes was pedestrian at best but Tyler Haliburton looked like he had coach Luke Walton's trust. He played 30 minutes and has a chance to win the game with a three-pointer in regulation but missed. He finished with 12 points, two rebounds, four assists, and a block with two treys. Another thing that I've learned opening night is you have to observe how a new coach goes about in his lineup. That happened
Read More The last 5 suggestions (for Jan. 10th) did not go as well as I would have hoped. Pop brought misery by playing Lonnie Walker IV only 15 minutes while doing basically nothing. Dewayne Dedmon, who I have high hopes for, got into foul trouble early and disappeared in 14 minutes of play. Because of the mini-blowout, JJ Redick played 23 minutes (12 points, two rebounds, two assists) which is a bit mediocre, while JaVale McGee and (nine points, three rebounds, two steals, and a block) and Bobby Portis
Read More 1.) Darius Garland, PG, Cleveland Cavaliers Garland and the Cavs are on the second game of a back-to-back but that should not matter. The 2019 fifth overall pick has finally started to put it together--he is averaging 16 points, 2.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.3 steals over the past four games. That was capped by a 20-point, seven-assist performance vs OKC. 2.) Jarrett Culver, PG/SG, Minnesota Timberwolves Culver went back to his mediocre ways in the blowout win over Golden State but his three-game
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 I'll be the very first one to admit that there is no such thing as a perfect draft unless you're competing with six year olds. But relatively speaking, you can pretty much nail a fantasy basketball draft if you come prepared. and has a clear goal in mind. The league scoring also matters and for this article, let's hypothetically consider how to complete the (near) perfect standard points league draft. In a points league, the general rule is go for high-efficiency bigs (high FG% ) over high-volume,
Read More 1.) Russell Westbrook is still top-10 in fantasy basketball. This year's fantasy draft has Brodie as an early Round 2 pick but even with James Harden around, the Rockets offense is designed to accomodate another high-usage player. And it's not like Westbrook has not played with Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, and Paul George before. Last season was a down year for Westbrook and he still finished in the top 15. Odds are he will not be averaging a triple-double for the fourth straight year but he
