I used to enjoy watching Get Smart, a satirical secret agent show. Agent Maxwell Smart is a fumbling, bumbling, stumbling secret agent who always saves the day somehow. One of the catch phrases of the show is “Missed it by that much!” Which would’ve been appropriate to say whenever Marcus Smart jacked up a shot, as he could barely hit the side of a barn in past seasons. This season, though, he’s vastly improved the shooting and is therefore able to put up lines like this:
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PT | FG | FT |
| 21 | 6 | 4 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 2/5 | 8/14 | 3/3 |
The 21 points tied a season high! Smart is shooting 42% from the field and 36% from downtown this season. Over his first four seasons in the league, he had never posted a mark better than 37% from the field and 33% from downtown. As a result, while he always provided boards, dimes, and stocks, he was never able to crack the top 100 for fantasy on a per-game basis. This season, he’s a top 85 player and has had streaks where he’s been a top 60 player. Get Smart y’all!
Here’s what else I saw last night:
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PT | FG | FT |
| 21 | 5 | 4 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 3/5 | 9/17 | 0 |
Only the second time Tatum has scored at least 20 points in the last 15 games. Is he experiencing the same plight as Channing? The usage has dipped to 19 and the field goal percentage has been spotty, as the shot selection has been poor. With that said, he has been contributing treys, boards, dimes, and some stocks, but has been a top 150 player over the past two weeks.

Such a solid player in both real life and fantasy. Horford contributes across the board and is a particularly good passer for a big man. Shockingly, he’s only messed around once in his career. I’m sure he’s come close countless times, though.

Here’s a little quirkiness for you. Over the past eight games, Wiggins has scored 22, 22, 20, 20, 14, 14, 18, and 18 points. Ha! Anyways, he’s actually been shooting well from the field lately, yet isn’t even a top 200 player because he doesn’t contribute much of anything else. In addition, the free throw shooting is in the 60% range.

It’s the Tyus show for the remainder of the season. We’ve all been waiting for this moment. Let’s see what he’s got. So far, the usage has been low but the dimes and steals have been plentiful.

Played 32 minutes off the bench. The minutes and production have been all over the map lately so it’s tough to trust him. He has grabbed 9 boards in four straight games, so there’s that. When he plays, Gay has the ability to contribute across the board. Unfortunately, we have no idea how much he will play on a nightly basis.

Got the start and played 36 minutes. I forgot who it was, but there was a commenter who advocated the nickname of “Bacon and Eggs” because of the goose eggs in the other cats. The eggs must’ve came from the hens last night as there were scrambled, hard boiled, and sunny side up ones. Bacon has started the last four games and been a top 90 player.

Played 32 minutes off the bench. Over the past seven games, Kaminsky has averaged 23 minutes and 4.7 boards. The 10 boards were a season high and likely outlier. Kaminsky is primarily a trey specialist. It’s tough to count on him until the minutes are consistent.

Continues to start and played 30 minutes. Bam has started the last 15 games and averaged 27 minutes per game. Hassan Whiteside played 15 minutes last night, contributed 10 points, 2 boards, and 2 steals, and has averaged 15 minutes per game over the past eight games. With that said, the prospect of a Mt. Whiteside explosion and Spoelstra just deciding to muck things up give me pause in fully backing Bam, no matter how much I want to.

The plane boss, the plane! Over the past four games, Waiters Island has averaged 29.7 minutes and contributed 18 points, 4 treys, 2.5 boards, 2.8 dimes, 0.5 steals, and 0.5 blocks. The usage rate has been 23 and the field goal percentage has been 50%. If you’ve been chilling on Waiters Island, I’d suggest you leave, as he’s more like a 42% shooter from the field.

Got the start and played 33 minutes because Otto Porter Jr. (rotator cuff) was out. Otto could be out for the remainder of the season, so Harrison could continue starting and providing fantasy goodies. He’s been a top 70 player over the past six games and top 35 over the past three games. He contributes everything but treys.
The Raptors defeated the Bulls, 112-103. It was a glorified practice, as no starter played more than 22 minutes. The leading scorer was Norman Powell, who contributed 20 points, 3 boards, and 3 dimes in 26 minutes.

As always, good shit, Son. Regarding Trae, I’m curious too. He does have Curry-like potential fantasy-wise, minus the FG% but better assist numbers. I’ll guess mid 2nd-early 3rd in a standard 12-team league for next season. I think he’s in the peak Kemba/Wall/Irving territory. Just my opinion…
Thanks Willie!
I’m thinking 2nd round as well. I”m feigning to draft already!
A:Y:O!
Forgot to chime in yesterday, dropped Dunn for KCP with my 3rd move.
So I had KCP in last night (boom) pretty happy with my 3 moves so far (Wright/Curry/KCP)
Now I have Lamb (ankle) & Bev (hip) both banged up. Thinking of dropping Lamb now.
I’d be pushing all the chips in the middle of the table going all in with my 4th move.
13 cat league – I have 37 games remaining, he has 38.
Me/Him
FGM (96/88) FG% (.503/.473) FT% (.754/.889) 3PTM (28/10) 3PT% (.373/.250)
PTS (269/226) OREB (15/24) DREB (71/63) REB (86/87) AST (52/60)
ST (14/12) BLK (6/8) TO (24/19)
My Squad –
Russell/VanVleet/Beverley/Wright/Seth
George/Tobias/Lamb/Osman/BogBog/KCP
Embiid/Gobert/J-Val/M-Rob
His Squad –
Harden/Lillard/Fox/Payton/Rubio/Rondo
Barnes/Kuzma/Favors/Hood
Capela/Aldridge/Gasol/WCS/Zubac
He only used 1 move so far, this morning he dropped Whiteside for Hood.
Should I drop Lamb now ? Is he the drop.
FAs –
Miles Bridges (2 games left – Prob the most solid available right now)
C. Wood (2 games – Lottery dart throw – Risk reward)
Kleber (2 games)
Connaughton (2)
Caruso (3)
Troy Brown (3)
This last move is everything. Ready to go all in with it.
Thanks Son!
A:Y:O!
It’s all you can eat time! Miles for the floor, but Wood for the win. Tough for me to ignore the matchups against SAC and LAL. Super risky, though. Do you like to live dangerously?
Great response! Ha! On point.
Mannnnnn, I like to live dangerously & Wood is the “fun” pick up.
What if AD plays though ?
Miles is the “safe” play, but screw being safe! Go big or go home!
Is Lamb definitely the drop at this time ?
I think so.
As for Wood, there’s a ton of risk. We know AD is only going to play 21 minutes, but that still leaves plenty of minutes for Wood. We just don’t know how things will shake out.
Been following your articles all season Son! Great work this season! It looks like I’ll have either 1st or 2nd pick next year with Boogie keeper costing me a 6th rd. Question is who do I pair them with my other keeper selection? Your thoughts on these options and their rounds. Can’t wait to see how everything shakes out this summer and looking forward to next year’s ranks already.
– Otto – 5th rd
– Middleton – 8th
– Trae – 8th
– Bagley – 9th
Much appreciated Jep. Thanks for reading and being a member of La Familia.
I’m leaning Trae for now, but Bagley is a close second
Which guy do you prefer for defenseive stats to finish out the week?
Bryant
Zack Collins
Isaac
Powell
Isaac
Hey man. So this week is killing me. Simmons missed a game, now Lauri. I am thinking to go all in and drop Markanens ass or it would be overreacting? He is my only Pf but I need to do something and try to win this semifinal week.
I have two remaining WW adds and was planning to use them to drop Vanvleet, DWhite near the end of the week and make two extra games out of them. Now everything changes.
What would you do? I need every counting stat except maybe points and 3pts. If I will be dropping Markanen replacements would be:
Favors, Dedmon, Woods, SHarrison, Nance, MRob, DJordan (all 2 games), Aminu, Seth Curry, Bryant (3 games)
DCollinson also available (3games)
I feel your pain.
Not overreacting on Markkanen. You gotta do what you gotta do right now. If someone ain’t rowing, they best be getting off the boat.
For floor, I’m probably going with Bryant. For upside, I’m going Wood. He has the ability to contribute across the board and has two really juicy matchups. Comes down to your philosophy and risk tolerance
Tolerance is really low. A number of games between me and opponent were the same before Markanen injury, If Wood chokes, I would be pretty much done. Also, Bryant lack of anything except points and rebs are really annoying. You sure one of them is a way to go?
Gotcha. Go with Favors then. The minutes are capped, but he’ll give you points, boards, and blocks. He only plays 2 games, but the Lakers and Wizards are juicy matchups. He’s probably as high floor as you can get out of the group you listed
Update: so I reduced possible pick ups to just Bryant and JHoliday. Then I calculated that with Bryant rebs i will not be able to secure rebs cat, but with Holiday steals I migth win steals. So Bryant went off for almost 20+20, like i expected, because last time vs Suns he had 31+13. But Holiday got 5 steals for me! That’s huge. So overall for now everything work out great. And also just read in news that Markannen will be shut down for rest of the season, so glad that dumped him.
P.S. props to Booker, damn he already won points for me this week.
Sounds good! Bring that chip home!
Hi there Son, this might be a dumb question but I was curious on daily locks to pick up players. Like today’s games start at 5pm if I’m looking to make a quick move to set up my lineup for the next day it safe to complete the move right at 5 on the dot or wait a few minutes after.. I just wanna make sure I don’t drop any players for today’s games I’m low on moves lol …appreciate it
I know Yahoo doesn’t allow same day pickups. So, if you add/drop a player, if will be effective the following day. Not sure about the other sites. To be safe, wait a few minutes after game starts.
Ayo!
Yahoo does allow same day pickups. It’s in the settings.
My league is set for same day plug & play.
Good to know that’s an option. Never messed around with the settings. I wish that was the default option
Ok awesome thanks for the reply every move counts in crunch time lol
For sure. Good luck my man!
In a close finals match up, AD is out again tonight. I think I’m fibally ready to move on. Haha better late than never I guess. Two games from BogBog or anyone really beats maybe one questionable game on Sunday from AD right?
Or gamble that AD plays Sunday and pick up BogBog, Miles Bridges, or Jaylen brown for one game Sunday. Man, apparently I just can’t quit that brow.
Well, you know he’s going to play 21 minutes. It comes down to the matchup, and the one against the Lakers is juicy. With that said, you just don’t know if he’s going to play or not
BogBog
Hei Son,
It looks like I will make the final 😀 I still have 2 available moves to make this week so I’m thinking that maybe I can make already one with the target for next week. I dropped Prince and picked Rozier because he plays today and tomorrow. The I’m thinking to drop Rozier for Forbes. Whom do you think will produce more in the last 10 days of the season?
Also if you think if Prince can be again an add considering his situation.
Ghita
Nice! Congrats! Bring it home now. I can’t trust Rozier unless Kyrie is out. I’d rather have Forbes
As for Promce, all depends on his foot
AYO!
Hope all is well my guy, missing your write ups.
A great man once said – “WOOD FOR THE WIN” !
AYO!
All is well. Sorry wasn’t able to provide content the last two days. Had a ton of stuff to take care of. With the fantasy season over, will likely have to wait until next season. I may write up one last post though.
Ha! I always love a good Wood, especially when it provides Victory!
Hi Son- is Walt Lemon Jr. worth a pickup for an open spot? I see nothing about him anywhere, but he had a solid day yesterday.
I think so. There’s risk, though, but with all the injuries, Lemon should get plenty of run.
Gotta cut Sato and Prince for the week ahead. Who do you like as their replacements?
For Sato
Rondo
Collison
Tyus Jones
Augustin
VanFleet
Shaq Harrison
For Prince
Mil. Bridges
Caboclo
Powell
Waiters
BogBog
LeVert
Rondo and BogBog
Would you go with waiters over Barton as well? Or someone else from this list?
Yes, I like Waiters more than Barton
AyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyO!
The Champ Is here ! (insert trophy emoji)
3 years in a row in a competitive money league… THREE-PEAT!
Props to you Son, for always coming through with the good content,
& answers for us Razz-readers / commenters!
Have a great off season my dude!
AyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyO!

B….U…..T……Ful!
Congrats my man!
Thanks Mr. Blast! Thanks for reading and being an integral member of La Familia!
Can’t wait for the…..not one….not two….not t three….but four-peat next year!
Made the finals….ten day H2H event now. Nine categories.
My opponent is the top seed but has AD and is not very aggressive using the wire. Plus he does not read you! He has ten moves left, I have nine. Here is how I see the matchup but want your opinion especially if AD gets shuttered!
His: Rebounds, Turnovers, FG %
Mine: Assists, Steals
Open: Points, FT %, 3’s and maybe blocks. I added Holmes and kept Ibaka as lately his bigs are not swatting many. But he has a monster team. Best on the wire:
Barton ( I dropped for Holmes due to production and upcoming rest-gamble), Knox, Josh Jax, Tristan, D White, Olynyk, Holiday, Plumlee, Forbes, Crawford, Bayless.
Bad Guys. Good Guys
Vucevic. Draymond
J Allen. Holmes
B Lopez. Ibaka
WCS. Tobias
Gallinari. Siakam
George. Waiters
Beal. Fournier
D Smith. Van Vleet
S Harrison. Kemba
Saric. Bledsoe
Wade. S Brown (helped last week as Mil rested)
BogBog. Harden
Rozier. Rondo
AD. Delon
Advice welcomed….said the underdog!
Nice! Defeat the infidels!!!
The one guy I thought about was Tristan Thompson but I’d keep the guys you have. I like the Holmes pickup.
My advice? Make sure those virgins are in fact virgins and maximize the adds and games played, but you are already all over that
Good luck!!!
Thanks amigo. I had a tough semi-final but Mr Harden was pretty good LOL.
Ha! He’s aiiight. Gets me a little Harden excited
