Lillard overtakes LeBron in rest-of-season fantasy rankings
These rankings are based on season-long rotisserie formats. That means that players who excel in one or two categories will be ranked higher and those who fail miserably in percentages will be ranked lower than they would be in a points system. So, a 3-point specialist such as J.R. Smith gets a bump, while a […]

Good luck! If Norris Cole doesn’t play (and it appears he is already not starting if he plays at all) … Consider Jrue Holiday, especially for cash games. I would love to more accurately project his matchup, but the Grizzlies’ injuries leave them with a lot of questions. The seventh-year guard has averaged 37 minutes […]
Continue readingHow 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 readingStarting Five: Debating Beal, Frazier, Westbrook and more
If you dominated the first week, that does not mean you have the championship locked up. If your team has been a complete disaster, do not panic. We always warn against using small sample sizes, and six days out of a 25-week campaign is just that. Still, questions arise and need to be cleared up. […]

Here’s a look at the players who stand out this week, with their ownership percentage listed. Tony Wroten | PG/SG | Philadelphia 76ers Ownership %: 22.0 As much as Wroten is a detriment to your shooting percentages (41.6 percent career from the field, 65.4 percent career from the free throw line), he is also a […]

In today’s edition of our late lineup notes, I’ll give you a few things to watch for based on players with statuses that could indicate they won’t play — and what that could mean for adjustments to your lineup. I’ll also answer questions on Twitter closer to lock (@cfrelund). Good luck! Keep track of the […]

Nerlens Noel confirmed to ESPN.com’s Jeff Goodman on Thursday that he will take part in the Orlando Summer League. Earlier Thursday, Sixers general manager Sam Hinkie told radio station WIP that he expects Noel to make his NBA debut there. Noel missed the entire 2013-14 season after suffering a torn ACL in February 2013 as […]

These rankings are based on season-long rotisserie formats. That means players who excel in one or two categories will be ranked higher and those who fail miserably in percentages will be ranked lower than they would be in a points system. So a 3-point specialist like J.R. Smith gets a bump, while a young star […]
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 […]
