I used to spend hours upon hours upon hours upon hours playing franchise mode in NBA 2K. I was a fantasy draft guy, so I’d draft my team. Then I’d go into the playbook and select all the plays I wanted for my offensive system. The rotations and minutes distribution would be all taken care of. I’d make sure the players were happy with their roles, and ensure contracts were all taken care of. Finally, I’d spend hours upon hours upon hours upon hours tweaking the sliders so that the game would play as realistically as possible. One slider in particular would always cause me much consternation: the injury slider. If I put it too low, then no one would ever get injured and the simulation experience would be tainted. On the other hand, if I put it too high, then I’d want to throw my controller into the wall….repeatedly. Well, whoever is handling the NBA matrix has put the injury slider too high! Just yesterday, Brandon Ingram‘s knee tightened up before the game and will now have an MRI on Tuesday. Danuel House suffered back contusions and left the game after 12 minutes. De’Aaron Fox sprained his ankle during practice and will be out at least 3-4 weeks. Finally, Gordon Hayward will be out six weeks after undergoing surgery on his injured hand. Whew! Beep. Boop. Bop. You know what never gets injured and is always there working for you? The Stocktonator. O. G. Anunoby left after 2 minutes due to an eye injury. Landry Shamet only played 12 minutes due to an ankle injury. Now, from a fantasy perspective, if Ingram misses time, then Josh Hart will likely start in his place. Jrue Holiday should be the one to soak up the most usage. If House is unable to play, Ben McLemore would likely replace him in the starting lineup. With Fox out for a while, Cory Joseph will likely start but Bogdan Bogdanovic probably benefits the most. There’s been talk that Fox could be out more than 3-4 weeks, and when he does return, he won’t be as explosive. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson should see a bump in playing time if Anunoby misses time. As for Shamet, Rodney McGruder could see more run or Lou Williams may get a few more minutes. Not sure there’s a direct beneficiary from the situation, but we will monitor to see how Doc decides to play it. Since we can’t rage quit and press reset on the box, we must make do with what we have and offer sacrifices to the injury gods.
Here’s what else I saw last night:

Gettin’ Wiggy Wit It….
Here’s what I wrote yesterday about Wiggins:
Last season, Wiggy Wiggy Wiggins shot 41% from the field. This year? 46%. All offseason, the Timberwolves tried to get Wiggins to stop shooting the midrange shots, and either attack the rim or shoot from downtown. Well, he’s increased the shots from inside 10 feet almost 5% from last season. Hmmm, 41% to 46%. 5%. Illuminati was here. In addition, he’s making over 2 tres per game for the first time in his career. And he’s averaging over 1 block for??? Yup, the first time in his career.
Welcome to the 2019 fantasy season.

Lake made his season debut and played 24 minutes. Lake can and will mess around plenty this season, but he rarely brings the D. Good thing he’s not trying to join the professional orgy circuit.
Tony Snell
| PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PT | FG | FT |
| 16 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 4/6 | 5/7 | 2/2 |
Continues to start and played 31 minutes. In 11 games so far, Snell is averaging 29.1 minutes and 2.5 tres. That Snells good. Unfortunately, he’s a 3-and-nothing-else player. P. U.

Prior to last night’s game, Dre had a usage rate of 26.6. Last night, the usage rate was 22.2 with Blake back in the mix. He’s still going to get his and contribute across the board, so don’t sharpen the seppuku knives.

Played a team-high 40 minutes and led the team in points. Luke (I am your father), is a top 65 player for fantasy right now, contributing points, tres, boards, and dimes. Like Lake, he doesn’t provide the D, but there were never any expectations for those in the first place.
Langston Galloway

Galloway has scored double figures in seven straight games. He provides tres and some D from time to time, but he’s mainly a tres guy. He’s always been an inconsistent shooter, and the Pistons are getting healthier, but Andrew Wiggins is a top 50 player so anything is possible.

C & C continues to make that beautiful music. The boards, field goal percentage, and blocks are elite. He also gets his 211 on. Now, no contributions in tres and the free throw shooting is still atrocious, but he’s still a top 35 player.

Russ, I know I’m just some dude writing from his mom’s basement, but you’re shooting 23% from downtown. Stop. He’s also shooting 65% from the line, but the usage rate is still 30.2.

J. J. Redick

Got the start and played 37 minutes. He was left for dead early in the season, but the rash of injuries have allowed him an opportunity to produce. You need tres? Well, J. J. is Redick in that category when he gets the run.

Aaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllmmmmmmmmmmoooooooooost messed around. Jrue has been on a Holiday for fantasy, primarily due to the 36% shooting from the field, but he’s still contributing everywhere else. He will be a top 25 player sooner than later. If Ingram does miss time, that sooner could be sooner than sooner.

Crowder is averaging 30.2 minutes, 2 tres, 5.6 boards, 3 dimes, and 1.2 steals. The shooting efficiency sucks, but he’s playing a ton and MEM is one of the fastest-paced offenses in the league.

My dreams of Kawhi 2.0 are still alive! Ok, fine. They aren’t, but Brown is still a top 50 player for fantasy this season. The field goal percentage is a whopping 53% and he’s drastically improved his free throw percentage from 65% last season to 77% this year. Brown will provide points, tres, boards, and a few dimes, but the defensive stats are lacking for a player with his athleticism.

Hey
I need some advise here. My injuries are piling. I have Gordon haywood and Daaron Foxx injured. I am in 9 cat roto with 13 teams. I think I am a bit short on the SF part. However, I am loaded at Center which I am debating if I should trade someone for a good SF. I am currently ranked number 2. Please advise
PG: D’aaron Fox (IL), Corey Joseph
PG – SG: Malcom Brodgon, Groran Dragic, George Hill
SG: JJ Redick, Furkan Kormaz
SG – SF: Gordon Haywoord (IL), Gary Harris
SF: Taurean Prince
SF – PF: Jae Crowder, Jerami Grant
PF – C: Anthony Davis, Nikola Jokic, Nelens Noel, Taj Gibso
C: Jon Valanciunas, Enes Kanter
Damn, that sucks. Stupid injuries.
I don’t hate the move to try and improve at SF. Look for a squad that has an excess of SF and needs a big. That’s where you should start. Then see what the options are and get a price check on players. Don’t just trade to trade, though. Make sure it helps your squad improve.
I can’t give you specifics because I don’t know the landscape of your league, but come back with specific targets and situations, and I’ll be able to help out more.
Dr. Dray keeps making me sad. Not a return that I was looking for 😀
He had you waiting in the waiting room. Then waiting in the doctor’s room. Now is performing surgery without anesthesia.
DRIP DRIP DRIP Conley coming for you! And my boy Wiggins might well turn out to be the waiver wire pickup of the year <3
JJJ picking it up a bit so even though Jaylen and Jabari are going off right now I don't feel too bad about rolling the dice on that trade. Getting more crowded as we talk here on JJJ Island!
Sato or Smart as a Fox (IL) replacement in 8Team9CatH2H?
Keep up the good work!
So crazy about Wiggins. The talent has always been there. Looks like the coaching and upper management has broken through to him.
JJJ is a stud. Just needs to stay healthy and stop fouling!
C’mon! This is Saattoooooo site. With that said, Smart. Lol
SON, Mitchell Robinson dropped in my league
Drop Sato,Barton,Devonte Graham ,Kennard or hold?
What’s squad look like?
Hi son,
Agreed on the injury analysis. Been bugged with 4 injuries last week namely Mrob, Otto, Ibaka and Collins. Hope they get better soon but I dropped Ibaka for boucher as I cant handle having this many players not playing. It’s a 10 team 9 cat league.
May I ask if you’d trade away Conley for Kennard? Know Conley just a slow start but given his age and injury history I think Kennard might be safer. Kennard’s been great to start the season and has enough usage with griffin back. They might try to develop him there. Thoughts?
I would not make that trade
Points league, who do you like most between
DRose, Boucher, Kleber, and Frank Ntilikina?
Ugh Gordon Hayward
They need to free Michael Porter Jr
Probably Rose, but that’s on the assumption that DET moves him back to lead the second unit.
MPJ won’t get freed. DEN too deep and they aren’t going to push him. At least that’s my thinking
What aboot DiVincenzo?
30 plus min possible without Middleton?
A possibility for sure. We shall see how MIL decides to play it.
Whatsup Son? Just got offered Whiteside and Lowry for my Dame. Rest of the team looks like this..
Shai, Sato, Norman Powell, Brogdon, Tyus Jones, Culver, Sterling Brown
PJ Washington, Miles Bridges, Richuan Holmes, Drummo, Harrell, Thomas Bryant, Paschall, Hachimura, Mitchell Robinson
12 man h2h.. What are your thoughts?
Puff……puff……PASS
12 team, 9 cat H2H
With Serge out I’ve got an extra spot on my roster. Best pickup?
Gay, Osman, Kyle Anderson, Delon Wright, Bjelica, Brooks, RHJ, Korkmaz.
I’m looking for best overall player. But FWIW, when you looked at my roster earlier in season you said I was light on 3s. I also only have 2 players who can currently start at SF spot
Considering the context, then Brooks for me
Hey son! big offer came…..his KAT and Donovan for my Booker, Gobert and SGA or Aldridge.
It is a 14 team league, 9 cat h2h, I also have oladipo on IL.
What’s your squad look like?
4 Team League- 9cat- H2H
PG- Damian Lillard
SG- Devin Booker
G- SGA
SF- Josh Richardson
PF – Aldridge
F- Paschall
C – Kanter
C- Rudy Gobert
Util- Jae Crowder
Util – Tomas Sato
Bench – Hunter, Boucher, White
IL- Oladipo
14 teams*
I could then swap oladipo for miles bridges and devotne graham after the trade..or hope for oladipo to bounce back .
I like it. All of it!!
SON, 9 team 8 cat league
Would u drop any of these guys for Smart?
Lillard
Harden
Oubre
Horford
Rubio
Adebayo
Goebert
Lowry
Devonte Graham
Kennard
Sato
Barton
Ayton
As much as it pains me, probably Sato
Hey Son!
Battle for first this week. So far so good with my weekend pickups of Jaylen and Favors for Schroder and D.Howard.
Your thoughts on Burks or D.White for the week? Both give me a weekly 6-3 win according to bbm. Also, I can sit and save those transactions since my opponent likes to use all his 4 moves every week.
G: Trae, Lowry, Rozier, Jaylen, Burks
F: Isaac, PJWash, PG13
C: KAT, Bryant, Capela, Favors
With Russell back, Burks probably won’t get more than 20 mpg.
I like White, especially since SA has a b2b and Murray will likely sit one of those
Making the swap now. Thanks for the insight!
Yes let’s turn down that injury slider already.
Seriously. It’s out of control!
Good luck, Jep!
Looking at some highlights of Chris boucher i think the kid can be a fantasy asset.
Us razzballers shouldn’t ignore this kids talent, especially in DYNASTY LEAGUES.
Dynasty leagues especially, GASOL IBAKA AND HOLLID JEFFERSON contracts expire after this season. Who knows if they get resigned who knows which direction the team wants to go, maybe younger keep one of the vets…
i think in 12 teams he’s a must own right now, since ibacka and lowry are out and Og with the eye injury.
I know its the league g league but he was mvp last year and defensive player of the year. Averaged 4 blocks a game.
Boucher is a defensive machine, his blocks are for real he’s been averaging over 2 blocks a game since college, he’s 6 foot 9 with a 7 foot 3 wing span, he’s very athletic and can shoot the 3. i would say he’s an average 3 point shooter right now around 33 percent. he’s playing around 2o minutes the past 2 games.i expect him to get around 20 to 25 mins a game until ibacka is back. Haven’t seen much of a mid range shot yet. He’s more of a close to the basket scorer his field goal should be above average . i Would definitely pick up in 12s or deeper right now, I’m taking a shot on him in a ten team until my players are healthy.
Yes sir. I’ve written up Boucher the past few nights
AD for Trae and Holiday in a keeper league.

Thanks, that’s what I’ve been saying.

Yo son! Comment on my squad if you don’t mind! I’m struggling in my league so far and trying to figure out how to improve this team. I think I could stand to have some more counting stats, but not sure which ones to focus on.
You think Jingles or Thad are worth a drop? Should I go out of my way to gamble on Simons or maybe someone like Dunn, Garland, …. JJ Redick? Jordan Clarkson? Should I swing for the fences on a Nurkic pickup? Am I just being too eager & I should wait till PG is fully healthy?

Blocks are strongest cat. Steals is second. Light in dimes and tres. A little below average in points and boards. Not having Dray and PG hurts for sure. Conley and Ingles should be better, which will help.
thanks!
Who would you drop for PG?
I’m leaning toward Thad or PBev
Thad
