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 […]

Have you ever looked at who’s available on the waiver wire and seen a guy who’s excellent in exactly one category – like so excellent that it makes you go “Hmm… if only they could somehow get consistent playing time, this random guy that no one’s ever heard of might actually be useful…”? Well that’s […]

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my fantasy basketball travels, it’s that fantasy basketball owners hate hate hate owning guys who are dealing with a prolonged injury. HATE. And why shouldn’t they, it sucks owning guys who are out with an injury! It’s annoying as hell, especially if you’re languishing in the standings from […]

When you’re in a deep, competitive fantasy basketball league, you find yourself perpetually on the lookout for not who’s great on the waiver wire right now but who could, possibly, become great in the near future, because the actual great finds have probably already been snagged if the league you’re in is even remotely competitive. […]

Every once in a while in fantasy basketball, you’ll see a stat line from someone on the waiver wire that will literally make you go “Woah, what the hell?” It doesn’t happen often because if you’re familiar with the NBA, you get that fluky performances do happen and aren’t necessarily indicative of anything; this is […]

You know the old phrase “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.”? It’s actually a pretty useful phrase when it comes to fantasy basketball, because if a young player with tons of upside is putting up great numbers and they happen to still be sitting there on the waiver wire, just add them. Don’t […]

I’ve been around the sun a while when it comes to fantasy basketball, and if there’s one maxim I’ve picked up in all my fake-hoops-team managing, it’s that it generally pays to draft young players and to avoid old players. There are some self-evident reasons for this (young players tend to be less injury-prone, for […]
