Fantasy 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 […]

Much like the last time I wrote this outlook (Friday), all 30 teams are in action Sunday, which is the final day of the regular season, so no one in the world should have trouble fielding a full fantasy team for the finale. However, doing it with productive players might be a little iffy, as […]

Game 2 features the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Phoenix Suns. Donovan Mitchell missed Tuesday due to knee maintenance and Caris LeVert led the way with 26 points in a win at Utah, but I expect Mitchell to be back in action tonight. If Mitchell plays, don’t look for a repeat performance from LeVert. For the […]

Other important narratives loom. Will we see the return of reigning MVP Joel Embiid in South Philly as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander visits the 76ers for the only time this season? Can the Houston Rockets get back to their winning ways against the Minnesota Timberwolves, a team fighting for the top seed in a contentious Western race? […]

But, thankfully, Friday and Sunday look much more like normal slates and hopefully savvy fantasy managers used the two slow nights to their advantage by picking up players from teams who played on both nights. As far as Friday goes, we should be able to take advantage of injury situations to find our sleepers, but […]

The Rockets extended their winning streak to 10 games with a 132-126 overtime win Wednesday night over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
