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 […]

Three-Man Weave: Fantasy Basketball's The Replacements

Injuries are a part of sports the same way excess showers down on Hollywood.

Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers (Week 12)

I spent the past week in Iowa without access to NBA games that weren't on ABC. It's tough as both a fan of basketball and a basketball writer to go a week without watching NBA games. It's especially tough to write a column when you're working so much off of highlight videos and stats, since […]

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.
