NBA Waiver Wire: Punting Big Man Stats (FG%, REB, BLK) for Week 3

Last week I recommended Lou Williams, Josh Richardson, and Kelly Olynyk in this space. Lou Williams has averaged 16 points with 1.8 threes and 3.8 assists in the four games since, and I will continue to recommend him as a valuable asset for teams punting FG%, REB, and BLK. Josh Richardson made his debut on […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Quality Game Streamers for Week 3

When you are trying to stream players to win your head-to-head fantasy basketball matchup, often when your streamer is playing matters as much as who he is. A player with games on Wednesday and Friday doesn't help when you've already got a full lineup worth of players playing on each of those days. However, a […]

You're better off using […]

NBA Bench Risers for Fantasy Basketball Week 2

NBA teams have a multitude of players coming off the bench, each with a unique role to fill.

To find bench players that can contribute more than […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Punting Small Stats (FT%, 3PM, AST) for Week 2

If you went big heavy in your draft you may choose to punt one or more of the categories in which guards usually contribute the most.  You're going to have a hard time competing with guard-heavy or balanced teams in those stats anyway. If you play in a league that counts turnovers, maybe even double […]
