Guys, this is going to be fun. There’s so many streams, so many ways to look smart and win your leagues. Pay attention to the storylines, find “injury” replacements, and hope your favorite bad team doesn’t get fined 100 grand for sitting players is the name of the rest of the season. Hornets: They have […]

It has been a rather eventful time around the association as we get closer to the trade deadline with multiple trades already completed and this always spells fantasy opportunity so we will dive into some of them today, despite the fact the dealing should be far from over.

The NBA trade deadline isn’t until Thursday. But much like me at age 8:00 on Christmas, some teams just couldn’t wait! There were several deals made on Tuesday, big, big names moved. And also some not big. Let’s sort through it. Jaren Jackson Jr. to Utah Oooookay, Danny Ainge. Nobody saw that one, and with […]

I hope all you guys fared well in the winter storm. My gosh, I hate ice storms. We were lucky in Eastern NC to just have a cold disgusting rain, but could have been much worse. You know who can’t be much worse? The… Pacers Jay Huff played 3 minutes against the Hawks. Three. Insanely […]

Perhaps you can relate to this. I’m in first place in a league for Bulls writers/podcasters/etc. First place. Undefeated. Until Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bam Adebayo, and Paolo Banchero (whew, what a rough group of names to spell!), my first three picks, went out.

This creates the impetus for change leading to trades that will impact fantasy leagues and managers alike. Most trades will happen […]

One theme this season is the amount of teams with 10 man or deeper rotations. Pace in the league is up. 3 pointers are flying. And all that running and shooting makes people more and more tired and also more and more injury prone. So there’s an inordinate amount in the early going of rotations […]

See, look guys, a theme! I can’t stress the importance enough of monitoring minutes. One thing I should mention, I won’t make notes about blowout games. Yes, I’m talking to you Golden State and Portland. Those minute distributions won’t be accurate. The rest though are gold. Pacers and Pistons: Andrew Nembhard hit 34 minutes, Bennedict […]

NBA basketball is nigh! In the last hours of the preseason, Joel and Ossie review their rosters and rattle off the players they’ve hitched their wagons to and feel good about as well as those that came with buyer’s remorse.

Another fantasy season is upon us and with drafts slowly but surely starting, it is time for my top156 roto projections, proudly presented for the 8th straight year. Some final adjustments have been made based on the findings from the review of last year’s projections and I’m more confident in them than the Wizards are […]

After two free-wheelin’ gut drafts, Ossie and Joel tap the breaks and ask the question: But what if we’re wrong? Will fading Nikola Vucevic and Zach LaVine backfire? Are we passing on Ja Morant at our own peril? Which rookie center — in any — will pay off? Adjust your mirrors, y’all, we’re checking blind-spots. […]
