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 […]

Porzingis, Lowry rise in rest-of-season rankings

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 Kyle Korver gets a bump, while a young star […]

Knicks’ Iman Shumpert day to day

J.R. Smith will replace Shumpert in the starting lineup. Shumpert hurt his shoulder in the first quarter of the Knicks’ win over Boston on Tuesday. The Knicks are listing Shumpert as day to day. The third-year guard dealt with shoulder soreness in training camp but has remained relatively healthy throughout the season, playing in every […]

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: […]

Knicks trade Willy Hernangomez to Hornets, eye young players at deadline

The team also plans to aggressively pursue younger players and draft picks ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline in the wake of Kristaps Porzingis‘ season-ending injury, league sources told ESPN. New York received forward Johnny O’Bryant and second-round draft picks in 2020 and 2021 from Charlotte in exchange for Hernangomez. Knicks general manager Scott Perry says […]

How 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 […]

Daily Fantasy Basketball: Late lineup notes for April 6

Good luck! If Knicks big man Kristaps Porzingis doesn’t play… Then consider the Knicks’ Derrick Williams against the Hornets tonight. Charlotte ranks in the bottom third against opposing power forwards, and especially on FanDuel where he’s under $4,000, Williams has an opportunity to exceed value even in a game where the Knicks are projected to […]

Fantasy 30: More assists, fewer points for LeBron

Here’s a list of the most fantasy-relevant news and notes for all 30 teams around the league heading into the seventh week of the season: Atlanta Hawks: Paul Millsap is a game-time decision for Monday’s game against Oklahoma City after missing the last three games due to a left hip injury. “We’ll see how today […]

Joe 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 […]

What Kobe’s retirement means for Lakers’ young core

I swear I still have permanent hearing loss in my left ear, the result of sitting directly in front of a Kobe Bryant enthusiast having a two-hour conniption. And you know what? It was worth it. I’d do it all again. When it comes to writing about our particularly geeky pastime, Kobe has always been […]
