Mock drafts are aplenty in this preseason time, and some trends and groupthink are being established. Everyone can talk about who to draft; but is anyone making the worst team you can draft? These aren’t bad picks, per se. You can build with any of these players. But the value, guys, the value is what […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Here is the first article in what I hope to make a series, the Fantasy Basketball News Roundup. Once a week, we get some storylines and then explore how they affect your plans for fantasy. Here we go! Mark Williams went down again, this time with a shoulder. I’m as shocked as you. Just when […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?After a long hiatus… Kelder is back baby! Usually I’m focusing on rotations, but given that there’s no games or rotations yet, we’ll go draft for a few weeks. I’m also in September in a heat advisory. It’s HOT and I’m cranky. So we gonna start of negative, got it? No, look, make eye contact. […]

If you missed it, Cade Cunningham will miss the fantasy season with a collapsed lung, and Anthony Edwards a good portion of it with a knee issue. Obviously, if you’re in the playoffs you got there in good measure because of these two guys. They’re not replaceable. If you have Cade, Daniss Jenkins seems like […]

If you haven’t heard, Jayson Tatum is actually going to play. That’s cool. It’s always good news when a superstar is playing. You should get him since his upside is a top five player. I wouldn’t expect back to backs at all, and I would expect a minutes limit, probably 20 minutes. That gives him […]

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 […]

Well we don’t have games for a week. Time to relax a bit, watch a little college ball, and rest right? Nah. There’s things to do yet. This is one guy’s to-do list. My guy Dan Titus on Yahoo wrote this first. I’m gonna shamelessly copy him here. Divest Yourself of Tanking Team Assets as […]

Wow, that deadline was incredibly fun. If you’re like me, and off work on Thursday due to snow on Saturday (gotta love NC!) you activated the old Shams notifications and were suitably entertained with deals and thoughts of deals. And of course, the fallout. Who’s going to be gaining minutes? Losing? Let’s shovel off some […]

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 […]

Ah, eight o’clock on a Thursday night. Prime games on, let’s just dive in and see what happened. Houston Rockets: Steven Adams is out for a while after his ankle rolled in a decidedly unnatural fashion. I thought Clint Capela would get more run. Like I don’t get why he doesn’t. He’s measuring out great […]

I was talking fantasy hoops with my teenage daughter who is awesome and plays in fantasy basketball leagues. The quote, and I’m probably getting the exact words wrong, was “It seems like the injuries have slowed down a bit, right?” She laughed and laughed. Of course, her team has Ja Morant, Jo’el Embiid, and LaMelo […]

The holidays are now past, and if you’re like me you kinda let some things slide. I mean, it’s hard to watch basketball in Mexico when the Hulu Live doesn’t work and the replay websites don’t load. Box score watching and injury report reading was the way for a week. Let’s catch up on some […]
