Kelder does have a first name but only his Mom uses it. He's been playing fantasy sports since before the internet had sites to do it. Not a member of any important organization but he thinks he's super funny! When not consuming baseball, he enjoys church coffee and food in larger quantities than his doctor would like.

Every year, there are guys in the league who we own who ruin the entire experience for ourselves and others. Like, I’m just so over it. The All-Star break, and that game that happened on Sunday night that nobody I know of watched, is a perfect time to explore some of these guys who will […]

I know, I tried to predict trades. That didn’t work out. I tried to predict stuff. That’s like, really-really hard guys. So here’s some final takeaways as the NBA enters silly season…. Lakers They signed Spencer Dinwiddie, and last night he logged 31 minutes with 7 Ast. The shot volume wasn’t there, but this guy […]

Well, I didn’t predict any of these trades yesterday. What I should have done is write this article this morning, and backdate it so I looked really smart. Now, for some winners and losers, not team version. There’s a lot of those. Here’s some guys to pick up or drop based on yesterday’s moves (or […]

Deadline day is tomorrow! Instead of a game by game recap, I’m Googling trade rumors and then going to figure out who would benefit. Stash season, and not the Pencil Thin kind. So who’s rumored to be traded? Andrew Wiggins It might be time to see if Wiggins has been dropped in your league. I […]

This week, I dug into Basketball Reference’s per 36 minute rate stats. With the trade deadline coming up, I’ve always found this as a way to find guys who have been producing in limited minutes. If you have room for guys, this could be a great stash option. Potentially, these could pay off in a […]

Three game slate last night… I watched the TNT game; Sixers vs. Nuggets, and was highly entertained. The Nuggets continue to have a very stable rotation and there’s not really any takeaways unless someone gets hurt. Nobody got hurt. Same with the Sixers. Just sit back and enjoy Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid go head-to-head, […]

Last night, with the wind howling and sheets of rain falling outside, I sat to watch the Tuesday night slate of NBA games in preparation for this very article. I had ideas, a notepad handy, a keen eye for fantasy talent on the ready, and all set for business. Then the power went out. What […]

Diapers. Tires. NBA in January. What do they all have in common? Blowouts. And they happen when you least expect it. Not to complain as I know all of you reading are jealous of the glory filled life of a fantasy writer. But those games are super hard to get a takeaways from. Oh well. […]

One player per game to highlight in a 9 game set. That’s nine guys! I’ll try to make it relevant to your team and highlight possible pickups. So, obviously Andre Drummond is the guy to run to get. The starter got kicked in the groin and is missing time with an adductor contusion. Drummond came […]

Five game night across the league, let’s get it! Lakers/Mavericks I just love my guy Dereck Lively. He’s a really good real-life rookie and fits what the Mavs want to do on offense. 8 points, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks and steals, and is getting better and better. I really respect Luca Doncic tattoo game. I […]

I’ve had a lot of success in my regular home leagues. This success has not followed me into my first foray in a higher-level league. Like, wow. This is so bad, 10th out of 12 in my group. I’m embarrassed and going to publicly figure out who I took, why I did it, and why […]

Greetings from November Madness, AKA the NBA final play in tournament pool night! Now that I read it, November Madness doesn’t work. No alliteration. There were a few exciting games, though. Boston over Chicago This, however, was not one of the exciting games. Wow is Chicago bad. Like, they gave up a putback dunk to […]
