Dennis Schroder's Second-Half Season Outook

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder is currently averaging 19.5 points, 6.3 assists and 3.1 rebounds in 31.3 minutes per game. These are all either tied for career highs or career highs. He is playing the best he ever has and has an ultra-green light in terms of shooting. Seventeen field goal attempts a night […]

Taurean Prince's Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

Atlanta Hawks small forward Taurean Prince has been really up and down this season, as evidenced in a 31-point game and a zero-point game this year. The shots are there for him and so are the minutes, as he's averaging 30 minutes per game. Usually young guys see a slight uptick on tanking teams in the second […]

John Collins' Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

Atlanta Hawks power forward John Collins is one of the young guys with potential on the 18-41 Hawks team. The Hawks new season goal is doing the worst, which seems counterintuitive, but in today's NBA, tanking is seen as the way to get better. The Hawks will be looking to secure a top-five pick and […]

Dewayne Dedmon's Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon has recently had some really solid games for the lowly Hawks. Unfortunately, the Hawks aren't fighting for anything but the No. 1 draft pick, so Dedmon's good play may not be a factor in his playing time as the season winds down. With young guys like John Collins and Tyler Cavanaugh […]

Pau Gasol's Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

San Antonio Spurs center Pau Gasol has seen his fantasy stock lower this season, as the 37-year-old is averaging his lowest points per game of his career with 10.7.

Dejounte Murray's Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray has been off to a strong start as the new starting point guard for the team. Murray finished with double-digit points in four consecutive games leading up to the All-Star break and has shown a knack for rebounding the ball well for his position. There are flaws in […]

LaMarcus Aldridge's Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

San Antonio Spurs power forward LaMarcus Aldridge will continue to be the most important player for the Spurs for the foreseeable future with Kawhi Leonard (quadriceps) out for an undisclosed amount of time.

Ryan Anderson's Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

Houston Rockets power forward Ryan Anderson has averaged 10 points and five rebounds per game on the season, but his inconsistency has made him a difficult player to trust for fantasy purposes.

Dirk Nowitzki's Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

Dallas Mavericks power forward Dirk Nowitzki has played his best basketball of the season this month and could be an interesting fantasy player to own during the latter half of the season.

Harrison Barnes' Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

However, his fantasy upside is limited, as he […]

Dennis Smith Jr.'s Second-Half Fantasy Outlook

Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. will be a fun but possibly also a frustrating player to own during the second half of the season.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) is aiming to be MVP during Sunday's All-Star game. He played just eight minutes in the Rising Stars game Friday.

Vince Carter Expected to Stay in Sacramento

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Vince Carter is expected to spend the rest of the season in Sacramento. There were rumors of a buyout, but the Kings reportedly said they prefer not to buy out Carter.
