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 […]
Continue readingUndervalued players set to boost fantasy lineups
Here are some players to target this week, with their ESPN ownership listed: Norris Cole, PG, New Orleans Pelicans (25.2) Tyreke Evans (knee) is out through the All-Star break, and the Pelicans are the only team in the league that play three games this week so Cole is a good one to target. Over the […]

“Note: Brian McKitish’s top 130 players are ranked for their fantasy value from this point forward in the 2012-13 NBA season. Previous rank is indicated in parentheses. “ 1. Kevin Durant, OKC (1) 2. LeBron James, MIA (2) 3. Chris Paul, LAC (4) 4. Russell Westbrook, OKC (5) 5. Kevin Love, MIN (3) 6. Kobe […]

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 […]

Don’t get me wrong. The NBA trade season as a whole was, of course, a dud of Mark Eaton standing proportions. (This as opposed to Eaton sitting.) The biggest deal — Rudy Gay to the Toronto Raptors — went down three weeks ago. And of course many fantasy owners are understandably disappointed that, after all […]

“I’ve known Luis since my days with the Rockets, and he’s not going to talk a whole heck of a lot but he’s going to lead with his work ethic and how he gets after it,” Nets coach Kenny Atkinson said. “I like how Luis has started to spread the floor, and he’s just the […]

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 […]
Continue readingGive up on Dwight Howard (and other 2016 fantasy resolutions)
All we have left are a few extra pounds, a couple of fantasy football championships, our fantasy basketball teams and an overwhelming urge to enact positive change in our disappointing lives. I tend to merge my need for personal reclamation with the needs of my fantasy basketball teams. Like you, I make an annual list […]
