I live in the Southeast, which means I should get plenty of Hornets games. Instead, the NBA wants me to drop 20 bucks a month on a streaming plan—and nobody’s about that life. If they ever show up on Hulu Live, then bet. But that’s an access problem. On the court, the Southeast has some […]

Rotational Notes: Okongwu Forever
October 29, 2024 | 2024-25 Fantasy Rankings, Fantasy Basketball Buy/Sell | 5 Commentsby: The Educator
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 […]

Fantasy Basketball Podcast: Checking Blindspots
September 10, 2024 | 2024-25 Fantasy Basketball, Podcast |by: Mr. Hooper
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. […]

September 5, 2024 | Fantasy Basketball Daily Notes, Podcast |by: Mr. Hooper
While you were taking your much-deserved day off, Ossie and Joel put in a little work on Labor Day by spotting trends in the still-very-early draft season. Using two draft boards and NFC ADP data, they discuss the squishy turn at the end of the first round, guard options in round two, and identify good […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Band-Aid Report
March 14, 2024 | 2023-24 Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Basketball Daily Notes |by: The Educator
Working in a school, I’ve noticed that the younger you are, the more value a band-aid has. I have no idea why. A Band-Aid is good for just a little cut. (I also don’t know if you are supposed to capitalize band-Aid so I will continue to be inconsistent with that) But give a small […]

Buy/Sell: Is He A Man Or An Alien?
February 14, 2024 | 2023-24 Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Basketball Buy/Sell | 2 Commentsby: Kostas
It is difficult to feature anything else in the introduction this week but the amazing performance of Victor Wembanyama in the blowout win against the Raptors. He ended the night with just 29 minutes but with 27 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 10 blocks. Yes, you read this correctly, that’s a triple […]

Tonight in NBA DFS we have 7 games, which is the perfect amount of games for me. There’s a lot of really solid options to choose from, but the options aren’t overwhelming either. My number one piece of advice for NBA DFS in general is to be on top of injury updates. Contests are won […]

Minivan Goes Buck Hunting
January 18, 2024 | 2023-24 Fantasy Basketball, Fantasy Basketball Daily Notes | 8 Commentsby: PhilOssie
I’m back from a two-week hiatus in which I was driving a minivan around Cleveland hunting for Bucks. No, wait, that was Georges Niang Wednesday night. Niang picked up the Minivan nickname during his college days in Utah. Shouldn’t it be the Suburban? Well, his Cleveland teammates have given him a less-soft moniker – G-Wagon. […]

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 […]

[Hits play on The Zombies classic hit song … “boom boom boom, buh-kah AHH …”] It’s the time of the Eason [““boom boom boom, buh-kah AHH”] … Tari Eason gave his believers reason to celebrate with a second-straight 14-rebound night, adding a career high 25 points (10-16 FG, 3-4 3PT, 2-4 FT) and singles in […]
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 […]
