Cregan’s fantasy basketball awards: Green over Curry for MVP
Here is my not-so-traditional version of the 2015-16 fantasy basketball awards, dishing out hardware for common categories, such as Comeback Player of the Year and Most Valuable Player, and for all-new categories or those not often featured, such as Rookie Superstar of Tomorrow Award and the Shawn Bradley Courage Award, among many others. Spoiler alert: […]

“It’s a star-vehicle town,” Nederlander assured Steinbrenner after the young shipbuilder left Cleveland to take the wheel of a sinking ocean liner. Steinbrenner’s Yankees set the big-city standard for pursuing big-ticket talent, for trying to buy championships without offering apologies to those without the stomach (or budget) for the fight. Prokhorov proved Thursday night he […]
Continue readingCeltics treat Stevens to Gino Time
“What is it?” asked an amused and confused Stevens. Media members did their best to quickly explain the “American Bandstand” mash-up that features a smooth-grooving, bearded man in a Gino Vannelli T-shirt as the Bee Gees’ “You Should Be Dancing” blares. It has served as the team’s victory cigar of sorts since before the Big […]

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 […]

Continue readingWorking the Wire: Immediate help
When weighing whether to drop an injured player, it all comes down to two questions: Who replaces him in your starting lineup, and what will that player’s role be? If you have a capable replacement on your bench and can afford to stash an injured player until he potentially returns for a championship run, don’t […]

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 […]

Only one player in the NBA is averaging at least two 3-pointers, one steal and one block per game this season: Robert Covington (two 3-pointers, 1.9 steals and one block per game). He ranks 45th on the ESPN Player Rater (averages), and his recent hot play has him in the top-15 over the past two […]
