The Holidays are here and with it comes the usual set primetime NBA comes the next week or so including Wolves and Mavs, Lakers and Warriors and the Sixers and Celtics. I only added the last one in since no matter which team wins, including team asteroid, we all win.
In the meantime, not sure anyone has noticed it, but Russell Westbrook has been putting together a string of pretty nice games the last few weeks. Against the Pelicans last night, he continued that trend with 21 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in 36 minutes. Perhaps just a coincidence Nikola Jokic also provided 27 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists for his 11th triple-double of the season. Truly the best floor raiser right now. I mean, what’s ceiling raiser, is that a thing? Dude just demolishes building codes like he does the buffet.
Been saying the Victor Wembanyama been on fire the last three weeks. An added bonus is the 3.2 threes and 3.8 blocks he’s been averaging per game, something no one has ever done more than 2.5 of ever.
Merry Christmas, here are this week’s fantasy rankings!
Jay is a longtime Razzball everything who consumes an egregious amount of Makers Mark as a vehicle to gain wisdom and augment his natural glow. Living in the D.C. area, he also likes spending time visiting the local parks and feeding lettuce to any turtles he encounters, including Mitch McConnell.
Hi Jay, 13 team roto keeper auction league ($200), my team is not likely to be competitive next year but there are incentives for not totally tanking. I have Myles Turner on an expiring contract, and getting some interest.
1) How would you rank the following for next year? Any stand out?
2) And which of these (at the prices below) would you want at all?
Bilal Coulibaly $5
Cam Thomas $1
Poeltl $5
Coby White $5
Gafford $12
Jabari Smith $16
Malik Beasley $4
Jarred McCain $2
Brandon Ingram $28
Thanks! And merry Christmas!
Quick follow up question, if I can get Ingram at 20, Smith at 10, or Coby at 1 would that change your view? Thanks again.
Appreciate recent advice. Helpful. Just need OG to dial in. Here’s an update:
Tied for first in my 12 team league but any of the top 7 teams look worthy of a playoff run at this point. Here is my squad. Overall impression? What areas give you the most concern? Trade targets?
Note: trying to improve stocks lately acquiring OG and Trayce and have been good on steals but not so much on blocks.
Jokic, Allen, Goga, Duren
Middleton, OG, Trayce, Draymond, N Powell
Maxey, Booker, FVV, Giddey, Ayo
