Fantasy rankings: Towns jumps past Curry into top three
It went from Kevin Durant leaving Oklahoma City for Western Conference rival Golden State, to Tim Duncan deciding to join Kobe Bryant in retirement, to an assortment of high-profile coaching changes, to the U.S. taking home an Olympic gold in Rio. And we haven’t even mentioned the infusion of talent the June draft added to […]
Continue readingKnicks’ Iman Shumpert day to day
J.R. Smith will replace Shumpert in the starting lineup. Shumpert hurt his shoulder in the first quarter of the Knicks’ win over Boston on Tuesday. The Knicks are listing Shumpert as day to day. The third-year guard dealt with shoulder soreness in training camp but has remained relatively healthy throughout the season, playing in every […]
Continue readingCregan’s fantasy basketball awards: Green over Curry for MVP
Here is my not-so-traditional version of the 2015-16 fantasy basketball awards, dishing out hardware for common categories, such as Comeback Player of the Year and Most Valuable Player, and for all-new categories or those not often featured, such as Rookie Superstar of Tomorrow Award and the Shawn Bradley Courage Award, among many others. Spoiler alert: […]
Continue readingHow the trade deadline could affect Love, Melo and other fantasy stars
The trade deadline doesn’t have to feature a marquee name to register a fantasy impact. The aftershocks of last season’s deadline are still reverberating at point guard. No Chris Paul– or Russell Westbrook-sized names swapped jerseys. But Goran Dragic, Rajon Rondo, Isaiah Thomas, Brandon Knight, Reggie Jackson and Michael Carter-Williams all headed for new situations […]

It remains ugly in Charlotte, but I can now report that the ugliness is spreading. That sweet, sweet, exploitable ugliness. In all honesty, as a Minnesota Timberwolves fan, I hate to see what’s happening here with this injury-ravaged team. As an NBA fan — and really, as a sports fan — I hate to see […]
Continue readingDaily Fantasy Basketball: Late lineup notes for April 6
Good luck! If Knicks big man Kristaps Porzingis doesn’t play… Then consider the Knicks’ Derrick Williams against the Hornets tonight. Charlotte ranks in the bottom third against opposing power forwards, and especially on FanDuel where he’s under $4,000, Williams has an opportunity to exceed value even in a game where the Knicks are projected to […]
Continue readingThe case for Kevin Durant over Russell Westbrook in fantasy
When it comes to our high-profile couples, that unfortunate question is hard-wired into humanity. A super-couple torn apart. Shudders. Splits. Despite all of the pairing’s obvious symbiotic benefits. Post-schism pontification immediately shifts to who’s winning and who’s losing. It happens in sports, too. When I was a younger, thinner fantasy enthusiast? It was Kobe and […]

This week, I’ll tip the week off by posting and seeking answers to five key questions, thus the “Starting Five.” This week’s contributors are ESPN Fantasy analysts Joe Kaiser, ESPN NBA Insider Kevin Pelton and yours truly.

Continue reading‘Difference maker’ Ingles set to cash in with new NBA contract
The 203cm tall, 29-year-old from Adelaide has the nickname Slow-Mo Joe, but Jazz management and rival NBA coaches love him, including Los Angeles Clippers’ Doc Rivers. Just minutes after the Jazz shocked the Clippers 97-95 in game one of their playoff series in Los Angeles on Saturday (Sunday AEST) Rivers, who cut Ingles from his […]
