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 […]
Continue readingMuch 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 […]
Continue readingStill, 2024 could be transformative in Los Angeles, with LeBron James and Paul George potentially becoming free agents this summer. Looking ahead to 2025, stars such Jayson Tatum, Jalen Brunson and Donovan Mitchell hold player options that teams will be monitoring very closely. Key: restricted = restricted free agent; player = player option; team = […]

In a continuation of moves made this spring, the Colts have signed star defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to an extension Monday.

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 […]
Continue readingOther 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? […]
Continue readingFor instance, the New Orleans Pelicans won’t have Brandon Ingram in the lineup for today’s tilt with the Boston Celtics. This means more usage and fantasy upside for two-way wings Trey Murphy III (42.6%) and Herbert Jones (40.4%). Even the absence of backup point guard Jose Alvarado propels increased value for this 3-and-D duo, as […]
Continue readingThe first of Thursday’s tandem has the Boston Celtics at State Farm Arena to face the Atlanta Hawks. The top-seeded Celtics are massive road favorites (-16.5 at ESPN BET), even with Al Horford and Jrue Holiday listed as questionable. The talented, if top heavy, Boston rotation hasn’t afforded many opportunities for streaming value this season, […]

For instance, the New Orleans Pelicans host the Oklahoma City Thunder in a matchup of Western Conference contenders. The Pelicans will be without Brandon Ingram for several games due to a knee […]
