Fantasy hoops — How high is Otto Porter Jr.’s ceiling?
After racking up three 3-pointers, 3 steals and 3 blocks on Tuesday, Washington Wizards small forward Otto Porter Jr. ranks 34th on the Player Rater (based on averages). Over his past six games, he is averaging 17.5 PPG, 2.8 3-PPG, 5 RPG, 0.8 SPG and 1.0 BPG. Do you think he has reached his statistical […]

At this point, Ellis probably only has a few years left in the league, and it’s safe to say that his days as a valuable fantasy option are over. Today, however, we don’t want to focus on the aging players. Instead, we want to go around the league and highlight the players in the prime […]

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.

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 […]

Durant withdrew from national-team duty in August shortly before the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup in Spain. “Hopefully I’ll be there. It’s whoever Mr. [Jerry] Colangelo and Coach K [Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski] pick,” Durant said in an interview on his 26th birthday scheduled to air later this week on SportsCenter. “I would love […]

This is particularly true when we get down to some of the players ranked after the Top 100. Players ranked that low are typically inconsistent, streaky or unproven. That is why you’ll see a lot of fluctuation from week to week near the bottom of the rankings. With that in mind, let’s take a look […]
Continue readingDaily Fantasy Basketball: Late lineup notes for Feb. 26
Pau Gasol goes from a GPP/so-so cash-game pick to a great selection for either daily fantasy site, but especially on DraftKings. E’Twaun Moore becomes an option, assuming he’s starting in Jimmy Butler‘s place again. This is pretty much only on FanDuel though. If Rajon Rondo (questionable) doesn’t play … DeMarcus Cousins, who was already a […]
