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 […]
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 readingWroten a must-add on the right team
Here’s a look at the players who stand out this week, with their ownership percentage listed. Tony Wroten | PG/SG | Philadelphia 76ers Ownership %: 22.0 As much as Wroten is a detriment to your shooting percentages (41.6 percent career from the field, 65.4 percent career from the free throw line), he is also a […]
Continue readingHow to replace Mike Conley in fantasy basketball
Two seasons ago, this would have been an imaginary roundball gut punch. Conley’s been a rock-solid top-10 fantasy floor general — good but never elite in any particular category (other than two seasons where he averaged 2.2 steals). These days? If you’re counting on Conley that much, you’re probably hard at work on fantasy baseball […]
Continue readingWhat Kobe’s retirement means for Lakers’ young core
I swear I still have permanent hearing loss in my left ear, the result of sitting directly in front of a Kobe Bryant enthusiast having a two-hour conniption. And you know what? It was worth it. I’d do it all again. When it comes to writing about our particularly geeky pastime, Kobe has always been […]

If you have a question, tweet me @AtomicHarpua or with #FBAMailbag before Thursday morning each week, and I’ll cull some of the best ones to answer here. {C} Goran Dragic has been a major disappointment, largely because his scoring is down more than five points per game compared to his 26 games with the Miami […]

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 […]
Continue readingFantasy rookies: Jamal Murray vs. Dario Saric
14 games into the nascent NBA careers of Dario Saric and Jamal Murray, each has shown promise for fantasy teams. Saric has scored in double digits in five of his past six games and is averaging 9.9 PPG, 6.2 RPG, 1.8 APG and 1.3 3-PPG. Meanwhile, Murray racked up 24 points on the Bulls on […]
Continue readingStarting Five: Rose or Rondo?
One thing I always preach early in the season is to keep things in perspective. We aren’t even two weeks into the 2015-16 campaign, and most teams have played just seven or eight games. If it were January, we would speak of seven to eight contests or two weeks as a “stretch of games” or […]
