The best places to look for those are probably in Detroit, Portland, Washington, Houston, Utah, San Antonio, Charlotte and Atlanta. If you paid attention on Thursday’s podcast, we were all about Chimezie Metu and, later on, Marcus Sasser and they both kind of went off. Metu had 15 points, eight boards, three assists and three […]

Much like the last time I wrote this outlook (Friday), all 30 teams are in action Sunday, which is the final day of the regular season, so no one in the world should have trouble fielding a full fantasy team for the finale. However, doing it with productive players might be a little iffy, as […]

INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts have locked in another key piece of their core. In a continuation of moves made this spring, the Colts have signed star defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to an extension Monday. Sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that it’s a two-year deal for $46 million and runs through the 2026 season. The […]

As we’ve discussed throughout the season, we should leverage easily accessible indicators to help sift such busy slates. Leaning on injury reports and betting info to help direct us to the most actionable player pickups and the most fertile offensive climates.

The goal of this weekly series is to identify players at each […]

Game 2 features the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Phoenix Suns. Donovan Mitchell missed Tuesday due to knee maintenance and Caris LeVert led the way with 26 points in a win at Utah, but I expect Mitchell to be back in action tonight. If Mitchell plays, don’t look for a repeat performance from LeVert. For the […]

Many fantasy leagues will be decided this week, adding to the gravity of Monday’s games. Two of the six games have spreads of at least 15 points — the Boston Celtics (-16.5) against the Charlotte Hornets and the Portland Trail Blazers visiting the Orlando Magic (-15.5). Such lines can make these contests less than ideal […]

For instance, the New Orleans Pelicans won’t have Brandon Ingram in the lineup for today’s tilt with the Boston Celtics. This means more usage and fantasy upside for two-way wings Trey Murphy III (42.6%) and Herbert Jones (40.4%). Even the absence of backup point guard Jose Alvarado propels increased value for this 3-and-D duo, as […]
Continue readingFantasy basketball tips and projections for Thursday
The first of Thursday’s tandem has the Boston Celtics at State Farm Arena to face the Atlanta Hawks. The top-seeded Celtics are massive road favorites (-16.5 at ESPN BET), even with Al Horford and Jrue Holiday listed as questionable. The talented, if top heavy, Boston rotation hasn’t afforded many opportunities for streaming value this season, […]
