Filling category needs

This need for context applies to roster decisions in fantasy hoops. If you’re attempting to decide whether to add a player, it’s impossible to evaluate without appropriate context of the needs of your team and landscape of your specific fantasy league. Especially this close to the finish, where needs are even more magnified and the […]

Is McCollum’s stardom built to last?

Just ask Anthony Davis owners what they were thinking after his 4-for-20 shooting night in the season opener against Golden State. Even those Davis owners who told you they weren’t concerned probably were crossing their fingers behind their back. Or ask LaMarcus Aldridge owners how they felt about LMA’s 11-point San Antonio debut. Yikes! The […]

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 […]

Draft-day trade fallout

Three deals involving non-drafted players impacted the landscape of the NBA on draft night, and fantasy owners know that a player’s circumstances — role on his team, type of offense, competition for playing time — are the primary determinant of fantasy value. Here’s a breakdown of the three major trades that occurred on draft night […]

Single-category studs to add in fantasy basketball

Here are some players to target this week: Jamal Crawford, SG, Los Angeles Clippers (33.9) – After a very slow start to the season, Crawford has averaged 15.2 points over the last 10 games, and is shooting much better in January (42.5 percent) than he did in November (34 percent) or December (39.1 percent). Devin […]

Fantasy Forecaster: Dec. 17-23

I’ll highlight a few of these players as we dig into an enticing Week 8 schedule. “R” matchup ratings are based upon a scale from 1 (poor matchup) to 10 (excellent matchup) and are calculated using a formula that evaluates the team’s year-to-date and past 10 games’ statistics, its opponents’ numbers in those categories and […]

Fantasy Forecaster: Jan. 7-13

But then the schedule turned in their favor. In the midst of a heavy stretch of home games against mostly weak opponents, the Raptors have suddenly become a team to avoid when setting fantasy lineups. While winning eight of their past nine games, the Raptors have allowed just 89.8 points, 19.1 assists, 4.8 3-pointers and […]

Pierce a buy-low due to Rondo injury

Note: Brian McKitish’s top 130 players are ranked for their fantasy value from this point forward in the 2012-13 NBA season. Previous rank is indicated in parentheses. 1. Kevin Durant, OKC (1) 2. LeBron James, MIA (2) 3. Chris Paul, LAC (3) 4. Russell Westbrook, OKC (4) 5. James Harden, HOU (6) 6. Kyrie Irving, […]

Cleveland Cavaliers rookie Evan Mobley to miss weeks with right elbow sprain

The No. 3 pick in this year’s draft got hurt when his arm got tied up while battling Celtics center Enes Kanter under the basket. Coach J.B. Bickerstaff called the injury “a freak thing” because it happened on a common play. “Guys get tangled up going for rebounds, competing for loose balls and things,” Bickerstaff […]

NBA season preview: Anthony Edwards and this rookie class are getting thrown into the fire

Wolves co-stars Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell each sent Edwards a text. The message was simple: “Congratulations, young’un. Let’s get to work.” Edwards realized there wasn’t much time before the real work began. The season was coming — quickly. “That’s the first thing me and my trainer thought about was, ‘We gotta get in better […]
