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 […]

Fantasy hoops: When will Khris Middleton be ready to contribute?

In Wednesday’s season debut, Khris Middleton had 5 points, 2 dimes, 2 boards and 1 block in 15 minutes, as he returned from a lengthy rehab from hamstring surgery. Middleton finished last season ranked 22nd on the Player Rater, so he should be owned in all season-long formats, but at what point will you be […]

Lillard overtakes LeBron in rest-of-season fantasy rankings

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 such as J.R. Smith gets a bump, while a […]

Knicks’ 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 […]

Daily Fantasy Basketball: Late lineup notes for March 4

Good luck! Even if Evan Fournier (probable) plays … Elfrid Payton should be on your list of GPP options. I say GPP and not cash because this is still Scott Skiles’ rotation, and Payton’s had some inconsistent production (four points in just 23 minutes vs. the Pacers on Feb. 21). However, the matchup against the […]

Fantasy 30: More assists, fewer points for LeBron

Here’s a list of the most fantasy-relevant news and notes for all 30 teams around the league heading into the seventh week of the season: Atlanta Hawks: Paul Millsap is a game-time decision for Monday’s game against Oklahoma City after missing the last three games due to a left hip injury. “We’ll see how today […]

The 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 […]

How 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 […]

Fantasy hoops: Is Jabari Parker’s 3-point prowess legit?

Heading into the season, the big hang-up with Jabari Parker‘s game was his lack of peripheral stats. We knew he could score, hit the glass a bit and post a quality FG%, but he chipped in little else. However, this season we have seen a dramatic leap in 3-point attempts (0.5 3-FGA to 3.5 3-FGA) […]

Which NBA players are set for a second-half breakout?

Nerlens Noel: It’s exciting to imagine the numbers Noel could average now that he has landed in Dallas. The defensive dynamo leads the league in steal rate this season and is 48th on the Player Rater over the past month. Averaging 2.7 steals, 16 points, and nine boards per 36 minutes, Noel could become a […]
