The Fantasy Basketball Cut List: Players to Drop or Hold - Week 14

Another week has passed, and our patience with injured and underperforming players continues to dwindle. For many managers, the fantasy basketball playoffs will start in about a month, and I know a lot of leagues have moved their playoffs weeks up in recent years to avoid the "Silly Season" as much as possible. As the […]

We are entering dangerous waters today. It's the day after a sweep, as I went 7-0 on my NBA prop bets last night, and I am probably feeling a bit confident in my picks today. I am ready to be humbled, but still optimistic about my chances as I have spent the first few hours […]

We've reached a pivotal point in the fantasy basketball season, where we must evaluate our rosters and ask some crucial questions.
