We have at last entered the season of the fantasy basketball playoffs. If your team didn’t make it, it’s because fantasy basketball is at its core unpredictable and fluky and it in no way means you don’t know what you’re doing; on the other hand, if your team is in the fantasy basketball playoffs, it’s […]

Have you ever had a player in a fantasy league who you just can’t quit for some reason, who you fully acknowledge is really flawed and imperfect and maybe isn’t even any good, and yet for some reason they always find their way onto your fantasy team year after year? For me that’s Scoot Henderson. […]

We are approaching the final weeks of the fantasy basketball regular season, which means we’re getting closer and closer to silly season: that magical time of the year when players you’d never normally own in a million years suddenly become insanely valuable due to everyone around them getting shut down. You never know who will […]

It was a light weekend of NBA games because of the Super Bowl, but there’s still a ton of movement to discuss thanks to the trade deadline. Probably the biggest news item? That Anthony Davis is likely going to sit out the rest of the year after being traded to the Wizards. It’s a devastating […]

Happy Luka-versary! It was on this day exactly a year ago that we all checked our phones at some point in the morning, saw a Shams report that the Mavs had traded Luka Doncic, and initially went “Haha, Shams got hacked… right? RIGHT?” And then it gradually sank in that it was real and whatever […]

A few weeks ago I wrote about how much it would drive me nuts to own Joel Embiid in fantasy and why I thought it’d make sense to trade him if you could get comparable value for him, even though he’d been playing well lately. And how has Embiid responded? By playing even more incredibly. […]

Hey, let’s talk about LeBron James, who put up 24-4-7-2 against the Raptors on Sunday. As I’m sure you can’t possibly not know if you’re reading this, LeBron turned 41 recently and is averaging 22.6 points per game through 23 games, which would be his lowest scoring output in 22 years. On the one hand, […]

A few weeks ago, I took the time to write that it made a lot of sense to make a buy-low offer for Trae Young in fantasy basketball – as he was on the verge of returning from an injury and is typically among the very best stat producers in the sport. (Say what you […]

Let’s give some love to Scottie Barnes. With Jakob Poeltl continuing to be out, Barnes started at center and responded with a statline that few players in history have ever produced: 23 points, 25 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals and a block. On the one hand, this amazing outing came out of nowhere in that […]

Hello sir or madam, have you welcomed Maxime Raynaud into your heart? If no, now’s the time to fix that. The rookie big man put up 12 points and 14 rebounds on Sunday and is averaging 15.1 points and 9.9 rebounds per game since being inserted into the Kings’ starting lineup thanks to Domantas Sabonis […]

Once again, we find ourselves on the precipice of the greatest, most festive day in all of December… the NBA Cup Championship Game. Or at least I *think* that’s what it’s called. It could also be the “NBA Cup Finals” or the “NBA Cup Final”, because I’ve legitimately seen tomorrow’s game referred to both of […]

Whenever people talk about buy-low’s or sell-high’s in fantasy basketball, they do so with the expectation that things are eventually going to even out. The random nobody putting up great stats isn’t going to do that forever because they’re still just a random nobody, and the great player putting up lame numbers is going to […]
