Buy/Sell: The Joker did it again

December 21, 2022 | 2022-23 Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Basketball Buy/Sell |

by:

Regarding last week’s suggestions, Walker Kessler was already a hot add but Kelly Olynyk missing some time with an ankle injury makes him even more must add, while Jordan Goodwin had a good run and is still a steals specialist but with the Wizards healthier, he becomes more of a 16-team league player. Finally, Maxi Kleber got unlucky and injured his hamstring in practice, while the two “Sell” suggestions from last week, Jalen Smith and John Wall did nothing to change their status as players I don’t want in my fantasy team.

Buy/Sell: The Halftime Beer Conundrum

December 14, 2022 | 2022-23 Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Basketball Buy/Sell |

by:

Regarding last week’s suggestions, Mo Bamba had three good games in a row despite not starting and has more than merited a spot in your roster until Wendell Carter returns, while AJ Griffin was a very good streamer that might lose some appeal when the Hawks get back to full strength. Finally, Thomas Bryant had his moment to shine in the two games without Anthony Davis, but is a clear drop now that AD is active.

Buy/Sell: Chef Curry Editing

December 7, 2022 | 2022-23 Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Basketball Buy/Sell |

by:

Regarding last week’s suggestions, Zach Collins kind of flopped in Jakob Poeltl’s place and with the Spurs having only two games this week he is a drop again. I had high hopes but alas. On the contrary, Kyle Anderson has stuffed the stat sheet since KAT went down and he is a must add until further notice. With 32% ownership in Yahoo leagues, you still have a chance to scoop him up. Finally, Trey Murphy III continues to start and continues to be awesome, ranked 17th in the last two weeks, and has been a matchup winner especially in the steals department, so hopefully he is already on your team.

Buy/Sell: Not So Wiseman

December 1, 2022 | 2022-23 Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Basketball Buy/Sell |

by:

Another week, another weird stat that caught my attention from around the magical world of the NBA. James Wiseman has not enjoyed the best of starts to his career and the injuries that he has suffered have certainly not helped his case. However, the stat is that he is a minus 35 in 5 games in the G League. Not good. He was not a plus in any of those games, joining a very bad company of Haseem Thabeet and Anthony Bennett as the only top 2 draft picks to be sent down to the G League for development purposes. I am not saying that he is a lost cause, but it certainly does not seem very promising. Check out this very interesting video with more analysis on the Wiseman issue.

Buy/Sell: Giannis Dishing And It Ain’t Dimes

November 23, 2022 | 2022-23 Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Basketball Buy/Sell |

by:

Regarding last week’s suggestions, Larry Nance Jr. continued his impressive performances and is now top 65 for the year in per-game value, Jevon Carter was serviceable and Charles Bassey concluded his 5-game week, so you can safely drop him again. On the Sell front, Jerami Grant had some down performances, so the sell high window might be closing and Onyeka Okongwu showed no signs of being a standard league player moving forward.

Buy/Sell: The Knicks’ Balancing Act

November 9, 2022 | 2022-23 Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Basketball Buy/Sell |

by:

If you have been reading my rumblings throughout the years you will have figured by now that I love niche statistics from the NBA world. And much to my delight yesterday, I found this tweet and that led me to a long rabbit hole to research stats from the Knicks season. The tweet mentions that the Knicks are currently 5-5 with a 0.0 points differential, 16th in offense, 16th in defense and are also 1-1 in overtime games. What I also found out with some digging is that they are also 4-4 vs the East and 1-1 vs the West! And to complete the perfectly balanced picture they are also 3-3 in October and 2-2 in November! Thanos from the Marvel universe must have front row season tickets for the Knicks this year…

Buy/Sell: Certified Idiot

November 2, 2022 | 2022-23 Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Basketball Buy/Sell | 8 Comments

by:

I try to keep most introductions in this little internet corner throughout the years as humorous or as closely related to basketball as possible. I also try to have a title with a word pun or something to keep the mood light and funny. The world is already at a pretty unpleasant state and fantasy is a good way to escape from the problems of everyday life, even for a little. Both for me when I research or write this article and hopefully for you when you read it.

Another season is here and your weekly Buy/Sell column is here to help you decide which players to buy low or add from the wire and which players to sell high or flat out drop to improve your chances for fantasy gold. I’m very excited for the start of the season as we already have a few great performances to discuss and some not so great.

Amidst watching too much basketball due to the ongoing EuroBasket tournament, scouting all the NBA depth charts, figuring player usage, minutes and opportunity, reflecting upon my previous mistakes, correcting projections in the yearly review article, and going on a one-month spiritual journey to the Himalayas in order to determine who the hell the Spurs will start this season, I am proud to present you, for the sixth year in a row, my 2022-23 top 155 projections for roto!

Top 155 Roto Projections Review for 2021-22

September 2, 2022 | 2022-23 Fantasy Basketball, Top 155 Roto Projections | 5 Comments

by:

With the off-season starting to settle and the season less than two months away, it is a great time for every fantasy basketball fan to start preparing. Since 2017, I’ve been doing a review of last year’s projections in order to make this year’s projections better, as well as to identify potential opportunities and hazards in the upcoming draft. If you are interested to learn about the math behind the process and how I calculate the accuracy of the projections, check the initial article and I’d be happy to answer questions in the comments.

So without further ado, let’s dive straight to it.

Buy/Sell: You Don’t Mess With Udonis

March 30, 2022 | 2021-22 Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Basketball Buy/Sell |

by:

Regarding last week’s suggestions, the inclusion of Tyus Jones stands out as he had a tremendous week and tilted many fantasy matchups with his assists alone, so hopefully you capitalized. The same can be said for Kris Dunn and his steals, as he had 7 in four games, rewarding fantasy owners who trusted him. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Jaxson Hayes, who was underwhelming and has an awful schedule, so he is a clear drop. Bones Hyland was mediocre at best. What can I say, you win some, you lose some, but Jones and Dunn were big wins indeed.
