Dinos' New Claw - Reactions To The Kawhi Leonard Trade

The dust on the Kawhi Leonard situation has finally settled with the former Finals MVP and Defensive Player of the Year moving north to the Raptors along with veteran 3-and-D man Danny Green for a package of DeMar DeRozan, Jakob Poeltl and a protected 2019 first-round pick (protected for 1-20). There's a lot to unwind […]


NBA Free Agency Instant Reaction - Day One

Wow. Free Agency 2018 certainly has started out with a bang. No dragged out decisions or meetings in the Hamptons as we get announcements from the 2 biggest names right away. Let's take a quick look at what this means from a fantasy perspective. LeBron James agrees to 4-year $153m deal with the Los Angeles […]


The Cut List (Week 13): Time to Let Go?

Welcome to Week 13 of the Cut List. This week I take a look at Luke Weaver, Dallas Kuechel, Gregory Polanco, and Kyle Seager.  All 4 of these guys were drafted in the mid rounds and expected to have productive seasons, and they've all struggled to post even shallow team value as we approach the […]


Heaney In A Bottle - A Deep Dive Into Andrew Heaney's Breakout

I have an unabashed affinity for post-hype sleepers. The concept of the post-hype sleeper ranks somewhere between posterizations (shoutout to my basketball readers) and Post Malone on my power rankings for concepts that begin with "post", and I've always found it a great deal of fun trying to pick out once-hyped players who others have […]


Changing Tides: A Look Into Surprising NBA Playoff Performances

The playoffs are in full swing but it's not too early to look forward to next year's fantasy season. With teams going all out and putting out their strongest rotations, we can see how teams truly value each of their pieces, so big performances and surprising turns can be taken with more validity than during […]


Seeing The Future: A Look At This Year's NBA Rookie Class, Part 3

We've already spent posts looking at intriguing rookies, and yet we've still got plenty of great first players to examine, all of whom have high-level fantasy upside in the future. For our previous lists, check out Part 1 and Part 2. This week we dive even deeper into this year's rookies, and examine their production […]


Seeing The Future: A Look At This Year's NBA Rookie Class, Part 2

Last week, we started our look through the league's rookies, focusing on the most well-known players. Today, we look to move into that second tier of guys. These rookies won't be competing for any rookie of the year rewards, but they possess skill-sets that could yield many fruitful fantasy seasons to come. Let's start with […]


Seeing The Future, Part 1: A Look At This Year's NBA Rookie Class

With most fantasy playoffs in full swing, and articles all over the place with regards to waiver pickups, stream targets and playoff match-up analysis, I figured it'd be a good time to instead take a look with an eye on the future. 2017-2018's rookie class was one of the most exciting in recent memory, and […]


NBA Waiver Wire: Deeper League Adds for Week 22

Now that you're in the playoffs, it doesn't mean it's time to take your foot off the gas when it comes to streaming. If anything, in a single elimination format, it is even more important than before to sell out for that W. We're here to help you pick out targets to swing those match-ups. […]


Building An Unconventional Juggernaut - A Story On Fantasy Basketball Draft Theory

Today, I'm going to do something a bit unique. Recently, I had a nice constructive argument with some other fantasy basketball players regarding team-building theory, centering around whether it is better to go into a draft with a strategy in mind (forcing a punt strategy), or staying open through your first few picks. In leagues […]


NBA Waiver Wire: Deeper League Adds for Week 21

  It's the last week before most playoffs start, and whether you're looking to fight your way into a playoff spot, or pickup someone for a deep run, we've got you covered. Here are today's Week 21 deeper league waiver wire pickups for your fantasy basketball teams.Upgrade To VIP: Win more with our NBA and DFS Premium Pass, […]


Young and Interesting: Comparing Present Youngsters To The Past

We're entering the home stretch of the season as all-star weekend just wrapped up in Los Angeles last week. At this point in the season, teams know where they stand in the NBA hierarchy, and one of the most exciting things about this part of the season is seeing what young guys can do when given […]


NBA Waiver Wire: Deeper League Adds for Week 20

We're hitting the part of the season where tanking teams are starting to show their hand, and that usually leads to a fantasy goldmine with young players on those tanking teams getting a chance at starters minutes. Let's take a look at some pickups as we gear up for the playoffs. Here are today's Week 20 deeper […]


Think Macro, Not Micro: Drafting Archetypes in Category Basketball Leagues

With the all-star break limiting the amount of games to analyze, I thought I’d write about more general strategy as opposed to any player specific analysis. Even with the NBA taking a week off, there’s no reason for us to stop learning and become better players, so let’s take a look at some draft theory. […]


Week 18 Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups - Deeper League Adds

  As we enter the final stretch of the season, it's almost time to find out whether certain lottery tickets pan out. Young guys who see some run can really help to round out fantasy rosters in the last few weeks of the season, and getting the jump on them is a good way to […]


Making Sense Of The Trade Deadline - Part 2

Last week we took a look at a few of the early deadline deals.  Now we'll take a look at the last minute deals that took place in the lead up to the NBA trade deadline. This year's busy trade deadline saw a flurry of moves. We'll only be looking at the moves that are […]


Week 17 Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups - Deeper League Adds

We are sitting 2 days away from the NBA trade deadline, and it's high time to make some speculative pickups based on what we expect from the next 2 days. Let's take a look at some deep league pickups for the week before the all-star break. This column will feature only players owned 15% or […]


Making Sense Of The NBA Trade Deadline

We should have known better when we thought that things were a bit too quiet last week. The NBA has taught us again and again near the trade deadline that bombs can be dropped at any given moment and usually, it's in a way we don't expect. This was the case when it came to last […]


Week 16 Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups - Deeper League Adds

This week was a week of depressing season ending injuries. We pray for speedy recoveries for Mike Conley, Andre Roberson and Boogie Cousins, and hope they can come back strong from their upcoming rehabs. Unfortunately, the fantasy world needs to move on, and when a guy gets hit with a season-ender, it opens up opportunity […]


What's Wrong with This NBA Star?

As we near the All-Star break, enough of the season has been played to take a critical eye on certain players who have not lived up to expectations. Today we're going to take a look at 3 guys who have greatly under-performed expectations, and try to decipher whether we have a buy-low opportunity or they're […]


Week 15 Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups - Deeper League Adds

The NBA trade deadline is fast approaching, and this means some more opportunity to be found for players on the wire. While you shouldn't give up too much to acquire a player on pure speculation for a potential trade, treating a pickup as a lottery ticket if you have the roster room can really end […]


Week 14 Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups - Deeper League Adds

We are now in the 14th week of the fantasy season, and it's down to the final stretch, with 6 weeks left in most standard leagues. This time of year is stash season, and it's time to take those shots at the lottery tickets that can help swing a league come playoff time. Let's take […]

Fantasy Basketball: A Deep Dive into Three Interesting NBA Stat Lines

We’re past the halfway mark of the season, and it’s about time to start looking at some numbers, both good and bad, that define what has been a frenetic first half of the NBA season. It’s important to realize that certain stats take a very long time to normalize, and small sample size can still […]


NBA Waiver Wire Pickups: Deep League Adds for Week 13

As injuries and ineffectiveness cause shakeups around the league, it’s time to keep a sharper eye on the wire, especially in deeper leagues. Take a look at Delon Wright. If you grabbed Wright last week, Lowry’s unfortunate injury has opened a new door for him to showcase what he can do in a larger role, […]


NBA Waiver Wire Pickups: Deep League Adds for Week 12

We're almost at the halfway point of the season, and it's getting harder and harder to find quality options on the wire, while it's getting easier and easier to cut bait on dead weight. Everyone in your league is probably thinking the same way, so it's time to look deeper and deeper for those guys that […]


LaMarcus Aldridge Solid Against Knicks

San Antonio Spurs forward LaMarcus Aldridge had a solid night Tuesday against the New York Knicks, scoring 29 points on 10-for-23 shooting to go along with six boards, two assists, a steal and a block. Aldridge took 23 shots alongside forward Kawhi Leonard's 20 and was a major part of the Spurs game plan. Aldridge […]


Kawhi Leonard Cracks 30 Minutes, Posts Big Line

For the first time this season, San Antonio Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard eclipsed the 30-minute barrier and posted a classic Leonard line Tuesday night against the New York Knicks. Leonard scored 25 points to go with eight boards, four assists, three three-pointers and four steals, a friendly reminder to everyone that he's a top-10 asset. […]


Perception vs. Reality: Underrated and Overrated Fantasy Basketball Assets

First of all, happy holidays to all of our readers! You are all hopefully spending quality time with friends and family, but we’re still going to keep providing great content for those who want a little breather, as the NBA season is as awake as ever during the holidays, and your leagues’ standings don’t take […]


NBA Injuries and Who Can Benefit Instead (Week 11)

Just how frustrated are we with injuries in the NBA this season? It seems as if Player X returns, Player B gets injured. The injury bug has been real this season, and it's like a plague that continues to spread across the league. Understanding the injury landscape is key in all forms of fantasy basketball. […]


Roster Doctor: Grand Theft Otto Looks To Steal Some Wins

Fantasy basketball strategy doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Some decisions are easy – if they offer you Nikola Jokic for your Nikola Mirotic, you take it and run, you don’t need anyone to tell you that. Most trade offers and waiver decisions are not that black and white however, and the answer is very context […]
