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 […]

What’s wrong with Steph Curry’s shot?

The Cleveland crowd hushed and collectively held its breath as Stephen Curry stepped into a wide-open 3-pointer. The Cavs were up by nine points with 11 minutes left in the fourth quarter, but the Warriors were rallying. Leaving Curry open in this circumstance was just about the worst-case scenario. After Curry flicked the deep 3 […]

Fantasy Forecaster: Nov. 25-Dec. 1

Then there’s Tim Duncan. After declining statistically for years, Duncan startlingly re-emerged as a fantasy force last season. He hadn’t scored as much (17.8 points) or pushed double-digit rebounds (9.9 boards) since 2010. And he hadn’t been such a prolific shot-blocker (2.7 rejections) since 2005. Probably none of us expected that sort of production from […]

NBA Insiders: Will Dallas move Andrew Bogut ?

Should the Mavs be buyers or sellers at the deadline? Amin Elhassan: Sellers. Yes, Dallas has come on strong after an abysmal start, and coach Rick Carlisle will always maximize the talent he has available, but I think the gap has widened between them and 8-seed competitors Denver and New Orleans. It’s not too late […]

Dirk Nowitzki backs Andrew Bogut to shine at Dallas Mavericks

The Mavericks last won the championship in 2011, but were knocked out in the first round of the Playoffs in the past two years after a brief absence from the postseason. But the offseason merry-go-round, which had Kevin Durant head to Golden State, led 2015 champions Bogut and Harrison Barnes to Dallas. And Nowitzki believes […]

Daily Fantasy Basketball: Late lineup notes for March 7

Both Draymond Green (illness) and Andre Iguodala (hamstring) are listed as questionable to play. Iguodala also missed the Lakers game. If Green sits, you can expect Harrison Barnes and Brandon Rush to get more minutes than usual. If Iguodala misses another game, it leaves Shaun Livingston as the main backup ball handler, especially if Green […]

Fantasy Hoops: Boogie and The Brow no longer elite as teammates?

DeMarcus Cousins to New Orleans already makes this trade deadline huge. Seismic. But fantasy-wise? There isn’t a lot of history to compare this to. Twin Tower pairings like Cousins and Anthony Davis don’t happen that often. This is a video game trade. A Don Nelson-grade mad scientist experiment. A statistical collision. Let’s take a look […]

Working the Wire: Immediate help

When weighing whether to drop an injured player, it all comes down to two questions: Who replaces him in your starting lineup, and what will that player’s role be? If you have a capable replacement on your bench and can afford to stash an injured player until he potentially returns for a championship run, don’t […]

Early-season risers, fallers

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 […]
