Porzingis, Lowry rise in rest-of-season rankings

These rankings are based on season-long rotisserie formats. That means 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 Kyle Korver gets a bump, while a young star […]

This week’s contributors are ESPN NBA Insider Bradford Doolittle and ESPN Fantasy analysts Jim McCormick and yours truly, Tom Carpenter. Doolittle: Karl-Anthony Towns is amazing. McCormick: This season I found the relationship between DFS research and redraft success is incredibly valuable — which is to say, I found my growing passion for DFS NBA significantly […]

Prokhorov turns Nets into contenders

“It’s a star-vehicle town,” Nederlander assured Steinbrenner after the young shipbuilder left Cleveland to take the wheel of a sinking ocean liner. Steinbrenner’s Yankees set the big-city standard for pursuing big-ticket talent, for trying to buy championships without offering apologies to those without the stomach (or budget) for the fight.

Smarter DFS options than Harden, Westbrook for Wednesday

Jim McCormick — Eric Bledsoe, Phoenix Suns As the ball-dominant distributor on an up-tempo Phoenix team — in a game against a Denver team with the worst defensive efficiency guarding point guards, according to Hoops Stats — Bledsoe is a fine midtier investment on a rich Wednesday slate. It also helps to consider Bledsoe is […]

Fantasy basketball: Does Cam Reddish’s trade to New York help or hurt his fantasy value?

In the deal, the Hawks acquired a protected 2022 first-round pick from the Charlotte Hornets in addition to fourth-year pro Kevin Knox II, the No. 9 pick in the 2018 draft. Veteran Solomon Hill and a 2025 second-round pick head to the Knicks with Reddish. The trade reunites Reddish with former Duke teammate RJ Barrett. […]

Phil needs Carmelo for the long term

Under that scenario, Anthony would have earned $23.5 million on a test drive with rookies Jackson and Derek Fisher, who would have discovered that Melo-ball is compatible with the team-centric principles governing the triangle offense. It shaped up as a win-win designed to create all kinds of salary-cap flexibility next summer, except for one thing: […]

Who would win a Melo-Love fantasy trade?

On Wednesday, when asked about Carmelo Anthony-for-Kevin Love trade buzz, LeBron James said, “I have no reaction … We can’t play fantasy basketball.” Fair enough — let’s leave playing fantasy basketball to the experts.

Starting Five: Is Gordon Hayward a future fantasy superstar?

This week’s contributors are ESPN NBA Insider Bradford Doolittle and ESPN Fantasy analysts Joe Kaiser and yours truly, Tom Carpenter. Kaiser: I love Hayward’s fantasy value because he contributes in so many ways, but I don’t see him ever rising too far above these post All-Star break numbers. And that’s OK. As long as this […]

Monroe, Millsap and Pekovic on rise

As I warned last week, this time-share will continue to frustrate fantasy owners unless an injury strikes in the Raptors’ backcourt. Calderon and Lowry have individual value, but they’ll continue to cut into each other’s minutes and production for the foreseeable future. Note: Brian McKitish’s top 130 players are ranked for their fantasy value from […]
