Give 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 […]
Continue readingBiggest fantasy sleepers of 2015-16
We call these players “sleepers” because your opponents are snoozing on them during drafts, thus allowing you to snag them later than they should go. In order for you to be fully prepared to take advantage of your competitors, I have compiled the top sleepers for the 2015-16 campaign, based on the average draft position […]
Continue readingHassan Whiteside rises 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 […]

After their successful stint together at Kentucky, new Arkansas coach John Calipari has reunited with Kenny Payne, the former Louisville head coach.

Continue readingFantasy basketball tips and projections for Friday
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 […]
Continue readingNBA betting: Five picks for Sunday
This breaks down nicely for betting purposes. Exactly half of the teams still have a lot to play for to determine their postseason seeding, while the other half are effectively done already. The sportsbooks know this, too, so there are some really big spreads on the board today. For the last time this regular season, […]
