The NBA trade deadline is in less than a week, and it’s time to figure out who’s going to benefit, and who’s going to be hurt by deadline moves. I’m not sourced. I’m a bit of a prophet, but not a great one. But I do spend too much time on the internet. So, this […]

If you’re following my stuff here, you’d know that I was in Mexico. Actually, it was a full service resort, and if you’ve ever gone to one, you’ll notice the efficiency. Messes are swept up without being noticed. Food is ready and plentiful. The rooms are always clean somehow. Your fantasy team needs that kind […]

After sorting through the latest injury updates — so long, Jalen Johnson; we’ll remember you fondly next draft season — Joel and Ossie break out the crystal ball and try to gaze beyond the trade deadline in search of future value. Are there tank commanders in Brooklyn or Charlotte that are worth stashing? What would […]

Per Minute Monsters
February 5, 2024 | 2023-24 Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Basketball Daily Notes |by: kelder
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 […]

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 […]

A Christmas Merrill-cle in Cleveland
December 21, 2023 | 2023-24 Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Basketball Daily Notes |by: PhilOssie
Sam Merrill made it back-to-back career scoring highs Wednesday night, hitting 8-of-14 from behind the arch and finishing with 27 points, 3 boards, 2 assists and a steal, helping the Cavs pull away from the Jazz in the fourth quarter. The casual NBA fan would hear the name Sam Merrill and just assume we’re talking […]

November 29, 2023 | 2023-24 Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Basketball Daily Notes |by: kelder
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 […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Last night we saw the transition from Shaedon Sharpe the cool shiny gadget that’s just for show, to the I Gotta Have This In My Daily Life type of tool.
With Anfernee Simons out 6 weeks [sad face] and Scoot Henderson injured mid-game, Sharpe took over with 25 points in the second half, scoring on all three levels and finishing with a 27-7-5-1-2 stat line (9-16 FG, 3-6 3PT, 8-10 FT).
Sharpe has been hitting the glass early on this season, averaging nearly 6 per game (including several smooth offensive putbacks) and has 9 stocks in five games. I still need to see him continue to be aggressive, as the youngster tends to stand around and wait for his turn. If he can, this could be one of the better breakouts of the first couple months of the fantasy season.
Here’s what else was noteworthy to me on another packed Wednesday slate, with some boring blowouts and a couple nail biters.

Midweek Guidance – Rediscovering Life After Fantasy Hoops
March 23, 2023 | 2022-23 Fantasy Basketball | 11 Commentsby: PB
Welcome to your midweek guidance for Week 22! In this post, I identify widely-available players who can help you win your head-to-head matchup. We’re almost at the point when we have to start thinking about life after fantasy hoops. Having just lost in the finals of my Yahoo league (congrats, Kris!), I’m just four days away from defeating Bball Oracle (according to my vision board) and no longer needing to obsessively check injury reports ahead of each night’s action. From Monday, I will be doing this solely for your benefit. That is, for the benefit of anyone crazy enough to play fantasy basketball into April. After that, I have to tend to all the things I’ve neglected in my life for six months.

It’s March Madness time, and in honor of Duke and their successful season, the first without a certain GOAT coach who looks like a rat, I’m gonna focus on the Dukies in the NBA. No, not Doookies, don’t be haters. One of the best things about being a fan of them lately is the many fantasy contributors from the best college hoops program in the land. It’s not their fault that they are better than whatever lesser team you follow.

December 20, 2022 | 2022-23 Fantasy Basketball | 2 Commentsby: Mr. Hooper
In this life, do-overs are rare. The opportunity to go back and change the mistakes of the past is reserved for science fiction plots or melancholy discussions over a pint in dimly-lit watering holes. But over this last week, I was presented with an opportunity to do just that – to go back with the knowledge of hindsight and fix where I failed, to atone, to set things right. I had screwed up once and now I was gifted a second chance. Please, I told myself, don’t blow it again.
