Fantasy hoops: Should we believe in Kemba Walker?

Kemba Walker has averaged 40.6 FG% and 33.8 3-FG% for his career, but after 13 games this season, those numbers are up to 47.0 FG% and 41.3 3-FG%. In turn, he is averaging 24.7 PPG — way up from 20.9 PPG last season. What do you think his FG% and PPG will be at season’s […]

Starting 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. […]

Curry’s groundbreaking numbers and other top fantasy takeaways

This week’s contributors are ESPN NBA Insider Bradford Doolittle and ESPN Fantasy analysts Jim McCormick and yours truly, Tom Carpenter. Doolittle: Karl-Anthony Towns is amazing. McCormick: This season I found the relationship between DFS research and redraft success is incredibly valuable — which is to say, I found my growing passion for DFS NBA significantly […]

If you’re counting on Conley that much, you’re probably hard at work on fantasy baseball […]

Undervalued 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 […]

Starting Five: Fantasy stars set to decline in second half

This week’s contributors are ESPN Fantasy analysts Joe Kaiser, John Cregan and yours truly, Tom Carpenter. Kaiser: Rajon Rondo, because George Karl’s job is reportedly in jeopardy in Sacramento, and if Karl is fired I don’t see Rondo performing up to the level he has over the first half of the season. Point guards have […]

Monroe, 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 […]
