Daily Fantasy Basketball: Late lineup notes for March 11

Good luck! If Norris Cole doesn’t play (and it appears he is already not starting if he plays at all) … Consider Jrue Holiday, especially for cash games. I would love to more accurately project his matchup, but the Grizzlies’ injuries leave them with a lot of questions. The seventh-year guard has averaged 37 minutes […]

Injuries to Gasol, Butler cause shift in rest-of-season fantasy rankings

These rankings are based on season-long rotisserie formats. That means that 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 J.R. Smith gets a bump, while a young […]

Undervalued players set to boost fantasy lineups

Here are some players to target this week, with their ESPN ownership listed: Norris Cole, PG, New Orleans Pelicans (25.2) Tyreke Evans (knee) is out through the All-Star break, and the Pelicans are the only team in the league that play three games this week so Cole is a good one to target. Over the […]

Starting Five: Is Kobe worth playing in fantasy?

This week’s contributors are ESPN Fantasy analysts Jim McCormick, John Cregan and yours truly, Tom Carpenter. McCormick: For recent context, Bryant has scored 19.75, 9.5, 17.5, 40.75 and 18.5 fantasy points on DraftKings over his past five games. This stretch includes four inactive games mixed in. We’re not only getting inconsistent production defined by harmful […]

Minnesota’s long, cold basketball winter

Now, with the Wolves playing the Houston Rockets on Wednesday, let’s take a moment to review a day five years ago that has quietly contributed to the extension of Minnesota’s long basketball winter. Though there are others, the Rockets have played the largest part in this extended chapter. This is not meant to be yet […]

Iman Shumpert out with hurt shoulder

The severity of the injury was unclear. Coach Mike Woodson said after the Knicks’ 114-88 win that he wasn’t sure how long Shumpert would be out for. Shumpert dealt with shoulder soreness in training camp but has remained relatively healthy throughout the season, playing in every game. If Shumpert were out for an extended period, […]

Daily Fantasy Basketball: Late lineup notes for March 7

Both Draymond Green (illness) and Andre Iguodala (hamstring) are listed as questionable to play. Iguodala also missed the Lakers game. If Green sits, you can expect Harrison Barnes and Brandon Rush to get more minutes than usual. If Iguodala misses another game, it leaves Shaun Livingston as the main backup ball handler, especially if Green […]

Deng tops list of underowned fantasy players worth adding

Here are some players to target this week, with their ESPN ownership listed: Luol Deng, SF, Miami Heat (24.8) Deng may not be the scorer he once was — the career 15.5 PPG scorer is down to 10.6 PPG this season — but if Chris Bosh is lost for the season as feared due to […]

Pat Riley and Jimmy Butler have turned the Heat back on in Miami

“Whether you believe me or not, we’re at the launching pad right now,” Riley said during his annual postseason news conference. “We’ve been through this now a long time. We know how to do this. We have done it in a myriad of different ways. We’re going to figure it out.” Riley’s Miami Heat had […]
