Fantasy rankings: Towns jumps past Curry into top three
It went from Kevin Durant leaving Oklahoma City for Western Conference rival Golden State, to Tim Duncan deciding to join Kobe Bryant in retirement, to an assortment of high-profile coaching changes, to the U.S. taking home an Olympic gold in Rio. And we haven’t even mentioned the infusion of talent the June draft added to […]
Continue readingThe case for Kevin Durant over Russell Westbrook in fantasy
When it comes to our high-profile couples, that unfortunate question is hard-wired into humanity. A super-couple torn apart. Shudders. Splits. Despite all of the pairing’s obvious symbiotic benefits. Post-schism pontification immediately shifts to who’s winning and who’s losing. It happens in sports, too. When I was a younger, thinner fantasy enthusiast? It was Kobe and […]
Continue readingJoe Kaiser’s ultimate draft board
It’s hard to argue with that. But as auctions become the way to go in many fantasy leagues in 2016, they also require much more time — sometimes around 3.5 hours in baseball leagues with large rosters — and over two hours in fantasy basketball and football leagues. That’s where the traditional snake-style draft has […]
Continue readingDurant, Warriors among reasons for LeBron’s frustrations
Why is LeBron James in such a bad mood? His frustrations — at least some of them — about the Cleveland Cavaliers, New York Knicks president Phil Jackson and even years-old bad blood with TNT analyst Charles Barkley have come pouring out. It’s out of character for him to speak so aggressively on the record. […]

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 […]

Here’s a look around the league at the most fantasy relevant news and notes for all 30 teams: Atlanta Hawks Following a two-month absence due to wrist surgery, De’Andre Hunter has returned to action. In light of the Hawks trading Cam Reddish to the New York Knicks on Thursday, he should be stashed. When his […]

The Mavericks last won the championship in 2011, but were knocked out in the first round of the Playoffs in the past two years after a brief absence from the postseason. But the offseason merry-go-round, which had Kevin Durant head to Golden State, led 2015 champions Bogut and Harrison Barnes to Dallas. And Nowitzki believes […]

Three years ago, Andre Iguodala joined the team that had just eliminated his squad from the playoffs, to considerably less criticism than Durant currently is receiving. Upon arriving in Golden State by way of Denver, Iguodala said this of Steph Curry in his first Oakland news conference on July 11, 2013: “Steph and I played […]
