Starting Five: Is Kobe worth playing in fantasy?
This week’s contributors are ESPN Fantasy analysts Jim McCormick, John Cregan and yours truly, Tom Carpenter. McCormick: For recent context, Bryant has scored 19.75, 9.5, 17.5, 40.75 and 18.5 fantasy points on DraftKings over his past five games. This stretch includes four inactive games mixed in. We’re not only getting inconsistent production defined by harmful […]
Continue readingWestbrook, Davis jump past Harden in updated fantasy rankings
But basketball isn’t baseball, and we don’t need 200 plate appearances to get a better idea of each player’s value. A set of eyes and a look at the numbers can be very revealing, even in a short amount of time, and already we are seeing some early-season trends that have drastically changed the rankings […]
Continue readingPau Gasol vaults up rest-of-season fantasy rankings
These rankings are based on season-long rotisserie formats. That means that players who excel in one or two categories will be ranked higher and those who fail miserably in percentages will be ranked lower than they would be in a points system. So, a 3-point specialist like J.R. Smith gets a bump, while a young […]
Continue readingDeng tops list of underowned fantasy players worth adding
Here are some players to target this week, with their ESPN ownership listed: Luol Deng, SF, Miami Heat (24.8) Deng may not be the scorer he once was — the career 15.5 PPG scorer is down to 10.6 PPG this season — but if Chris Bosh is lost for the season as feared due to […]
Continue readingIs late-season rest a concern for Steph Curry fantasy owners?
This week’s contributors are ESPN NBA Insider Kevin Pelton, ESPN Fantasy analyst John Cregan and yours truly, Tom Carpenter. Cregan: Little to no concern. Any time the words “Steph Curry” and “ankle” are combined in a sentence, it has a historically chilling effect. In a normal repeat championship run, the impetus would be to rest […]
Continue readingBiggest fantasy sleepers of 2015-16
We call these players “sleepers” because your opponents are snoozing on them during drafts, thus allowing you to snag them later than they should go. In order for you to be fully prepared to take advantage of your competitors, I have compiled the top sleepers for the 2015-16 campaign, based on the average draft position […]

But when Brunson had an uncharacteristically off night against the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday at Madison Square Garden, his teammates were there to pick up the slack. There was Josh Hart hitting a season-high four 3-pointers, including three in the final quarter. There was Brunson’s backup, Deuce McBride, going for 21 points and finishing with […]
Continue readingFantasy basketball tips and projections for Friday
The best places to look for those are probably in Detroit, Portland, Washington, Houston, Utah, San Antonio, Charlotte and Atlanta. If you paid attention on Thursday’s podcast, we were all about Chimezie Metu and, later on, Marcus Sasser and they both kind of went off. Metu had 15 points, eight boards, three assists and three […]
Continue readingNBA offseason 2024: Schedule, deadlines, contract details
With many teams already doing deep dives into preparation for the 2024 NBA draft and this summer’s free agency, here’s a look at the league’s upcoming calendar, along with important deadlines for teams and players to exercise contract options.

Continue readingFantasy basketball tips and projections for Sunday
Much like the last time I wrote this outlook (Friday), all 30 teams are in action Sunday, which is the final day of the regular season, so no one in the world should have trouble fielding a full fantasy team for the finale. However, doing it with productive players might be a little iffy, as […]
