The NBA season keeps rolling along and injuries are piling up, so Joel and Ossie discuss who stands to gain in the wake of the big blow to Paolo Banchero (spoiler: Jalen Suggs!), who’s making the most of the opportunities in Memphis and New Orleans, and why the full strength Warriors are a fantasy minefield. […]

Does this mean that summer is so over? Not quite, but we are talking fantasy hoops again. On the first episode of the ’24-25 season, Joel and Ossie recap an NFBKC draft that went down in early August. Twenty-five picks and $150 later, did either one do well enough to take down some of the […]

As you may or may not have heard (read?), we’re doing some Midseason Rankings just to see how the NBA fantasy landscape is shaping. If you tuned in last time, we covered the “Draft Capital” tier, which seems like inadvertent shade since the upcoming draft is pretty barren compared to the recent WEMBYPOCALYPSE, but it’s […]

We’re back from break and podding in the new year! After spending a week in a basketball deprivation tank, Joel and Son kick off 2024 by surveying their fantasy teams and discussing what’s gone right (Alperen Sengun for Son, Grayson Allen for Joel) and what’s gone wrong (Cade Cunningham and Devin Booker for both.) The […]

We are so used to seeing the superstars and the more recognizable names as they progress in their career and become more popular and enamored with the media that we often forget that they also started from somewhere and as some point went through their first interview, their first press conference, etc. Now I’m not […]

You are here to witness the birth of a meme. I will give you first the context… The Timberwolves were playing the Orlando Magic last night and during the second quarter, Karl Anthony Towns posterized Mo Wagner with a vicious dunk. And then one of the best synchronized taunts I have ever seen happened from […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Paulo Banchero crossed the 40-point mark for the first time in his young career on Wednesday night, finishing with 42 points on 16-of-26 shooting (1-5 3PT, 9-12 FT). Sure he was stingy, dishing just one dime to go with his 6 boards and 2 blocks. But it’s a nice opportunity to highlight his jump in […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Hello Razzball, back again for some NBA DFS action. We have a nice 7 game slate and personally these mid-sized slates are my favorite. You have plenty of options on slates this size to make different builds, but you’re not overwhelmed by the variety of good plays. My number one piece of advice for NBA […]

For those without kids, that’s Branch in “Trolls” overreacting because he’s scared of success (and friendship), just like so many fantasy basketball players will overreact to the first couple games, when regular bench rotations guys will be proclaimed breakouts of the season, and busts will be said to abound as the rust gets knocked off the boots.
However, while we definitely don’t want to overreact, let’s remember: Branch ended up being right. You don’t want to be caught with that average penny stock and telling yourself, “any day now, it’s gunna go crazy!” [Checks portfolio, sighs with depression, gets back to basketball.] Keep an eye on minutes, rotations and usage more than the general stat lines in these early going.
And with that piece of nonsensical advice, let’s get on with the show! Here’s what caught my eye in the 12 games of the unofficial official opening night in The Association.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Kevin Durant is back!
For what feels like the millionth time. How many times does this guy have to be “back” before it’s not even a story anymore? I guess he gets infinite re-entries on this – ESPN even used the exact headline “KD is back!” It literally never ends, but I guess we gotta talk about his fantasy impact anyway.
Elsewhere on OKC Thunder throwback night, Russell Westbrook went HAM against the high-flying Memphis Grizzlies. Let’s dive in and take a look at these throwback performances under the fantasy basketball microscope.

20 years ago, UPS had an ad campaign with the slogan, “What can Brown do for you?”
Brown says: Make your life easier
Brown tells me that you have all the choices you want
Brown says to me: Get your shipments to your customers, when they need it and where they need it
Brown says: Relax, we’ll get it done
Brown says: How about some more pie?
Brown didn’t say that
What a stupid ass commercial but it serves our purpose today because Jaylen Brown freaking delivered the goods on Sunday.
