One of the frequent names that comes up in Razzball comments is Luis Scola. His 13 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists line is fairly on par with the season (12.7/7.0/1.7) and his career (14.4/7.7/1.9). He has 5 years in the NBA and is 32 years old. He’s never going to be a 15/10 guy with 2 […]

Vucevic Is The Swiss You Don’t Want To Miss
December 6, 2012 | Fantasy Basketball Daily Notes | 20 Commentsby: ChrisV
For those of you following my Nikola Vucevic saga (for some reason), I was able to reclaim him off waivers. It took $5 of my $11 waiver wire dollars, but it was worth it, as I found out I beat out at least one other claim. By the way, waiver wire dollars are the greatest. I like […]

With a dazzling 17 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, Nicolas Batum showed why he is the darling of the fantasy community. He also seems to be out of his recent “funk,” averaging 19 1/2 points, 10 boards and 1 1/2 blocks in the past 2 games. He joined rookie Damian […]

Orlando may contain the happiest place on earth (a meth den a mile from Interstate 4), but for the Magic, the season has been a little less than magical. Nevertheless, fans took some joy last night when the team flew into L.A. and beat the struggling Lakers and their former hero, Dwight Howard. Going toe […]

November 29, 2012 | Fantasy Basketball Daily Notes | 15 Commentsby: ChrisV
Kris Humphries (3/4/0 with 2 blocks) fouled Kevin Garnett (16/10/1) somewhat hard (his flopping made it look worse than it was). Rajon Rondo (6/1/3 with 2 steals) took exception to the contact, and since NBA players are mature, emotionally well-adjusted individuals, a brawl ensued, resulting in the ejection of Humpy and Rondo. Word has it a […]

One thing I absolutely hate, I mean really despise, is when teams relocate. I think it’s a giant middle finger to fans and a blemish on the legacy of the team. That also leads to bizarre team names, like the Lakers in L.A. and the Jazz in Utah. Speaking of the Jazz, the NBA finally […]

As mentioned earlier today, Amar’e Stoudemire will be back whenever he gets back. There is no time table for his return. I don’t expect to see him start appearing on the waiver wire, although in shallow leagues there’s no reason to have him on your roster. Anthony Davis – He underwent an MRI that showed a “stress […]

You’ll hear that Adam Sandler song as the token musical nod to Chanukah amidst an endless sea of long dead crooners and sentimal pop. Plastic nativities with blinking lights will adorn lawns like stars dotting the night sky. Fox News will say that society is waging […]

The Pacers had an incredible night. Paul George scored 37 points, including 9 from downtown – yes, that’s NINE – and threw in 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Roy Hibbert was unimpressed with George’s performance, and decided to go with a very unusual triple double. In fact, it seems Hibbert was angry at field goals, […]

Arguably, steals are the most difficult stat to obtain. You’d think solid defense would lead to more takeaway opportunities, but this is a shooting league, so maybe there is no solid defense. Anyway, this is a look at the seven (eligible) players with the best steals ratios with under 50% ownership. This post is not […]

With 31 points, 9 assists, 6 rebounds, 3 threes and 22 2 steals, Curry carried his team to a win over the Mavs. He is currently ranked 47 versus his original 25 spot, but the man is producing 17.5 PPG, 5.5 APG, 2.1 3PG […]

Probably the most frustrating part of fantasy sports is drafting a stud and watching him languish on the sidelines due to injury. The good news is, some major stars are due back soon. The bad news is, some major stars are not. Let’s swallow some medicine and see who’s going to disappoint: Andrew Bogut – Set […]
