How the trade deadline could affect Love, Melo and other fantasy stars
The trade deadline doesn’t have to feature a marquee name to register a fantasy impact. The aftershocks of last season’s deadline are still reverberating at point guard. No Chris Paul– or Russell Westbrook-sized names swapped jerseys. But Goran Dragic, Rajon Rondo, Isaiah Thomas, Brandon Knight, Reggie Jackson and Michael Carter-Williams all headed for new situations […]
Continue readingFantasy 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 […]

On Monday, Tim Watts MP voiced his dismay at the fact Simmons had been overlooked for an All-Star invite six times in recent weeks despite players pulling out with injuries. Simmons, whose startling rookie numbers this season place him alongside NBA greats Oscar Robertson and Magic Johnson, scored the third-most fan votes among Eastern Conference […]

Continue readingMonroe, 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 […]

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 […]

At one particular position, it seems like there’s almost too much talent to believe. Eighteen of the top 50 players on the Player Rater are currently eligible at point guard, and some of those guys are not players you normally think of as elite NBA talents. Guys like Darren Collison and Goran Dragic are legitimately […]

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 […]

Good luck! The Memphis Grizzlies host the Denver Nuggets Wednesday night in a game that Vegas anticipates will be a close one (Memphis is favored by 2) and a potentially high-scoring affair (the over/under is 203 total points). If Zach Randolph plays, and he has reportedly participated in shootaround . . . . . . […]
