Daily Fantasy Basketball: Late lineup notes for April 6
Good luck! If Knicks big man Kristaps Porzingis doesn’t play… Then consider the Knicks’ Derrick Williams against the Hornets tonight. Charlotte ranks in the bottom third against opposing power forwards, and especially on FanDuel where he’s under $4,000, Williams has an opportunity to exceed value even in a game where the Knicks are projected to […]

As I warned last week, this time-share will continue to frustrate fantasy owners unless an injury strikes in the Raptors’ backcourt.

Note: Brian McKitish’s top 130 players are ranked for their fantasy value from […]

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 […]

It takes time to answer questions like whether Reggie Jackson or C.J. McCollum is a better rotisserie play, what you should expect from Brandon Jennings and Marcus Smart as they return from injury, whether Terrence Jones is worth a roster spot or, whether the #FreeBobbyPortis campaign is actually coming to fruition. Don’t worry; I have […]
Continue readingStarting Five: Debating Cousins’ long-term fantasy potential
This week’s contributors are ESPN Fantasy analysts Jim McCormick, John Cregan, and yours truly, Tom Carpenter. McCormick: Even if the standard deviation model the Player Rater employs doesn’t adore Cousins — which I assume is based largely on his modest 44-percent shooting clip — I find him to be a top-10 asset going forward given […]

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 […]
