Jan Rey has been following basketball way before he knew how to write cursive letters. He is also an ardent fantasy basketball participant since 2003 and has won two private All-Filipino 20-team leagues way back when.
The Studs Victor Oladipo, PG/SG, Indiana Pacers ($8,000) Oladipo has been a monster this season and has just set career-highs in rebounds and steals in back-to-back games. The former Hoosier has topped at least 40 FP in 5 of his last 10 plus they will be facing a Raptors team that is among the league's worst in stopping opposing shooting guards. Paul George, SF, OKC Thunder ($8,000) PG has been on a roll the last three games including back-to-back 50FP games against New Orleans and Golden State. Read More
The Studs Damian Lillard, PG, Portland Trail Blazers ($8,300) Dame has been off with his shot lately and is facing a stout defensive team in Memphis. That doesn't mean you shouldn't consider him. Perennial All-Stars like Lillard go off at the slightest hints and his salary is the lowest since the start of November. Plus, the Grizzlies won't be playing Mike Conley because of an Achilles issue so Lillard has one less problem there. Jimmy Butler, SG, Minnesota Timberwolves ($7,500) Butler has Read More
The Studs Andre Drummond, C, Detroit Pistons ($8,900) Drummond is as consistent as they come, having sub-40 FP games only twice in the past 10. In a previous matchup against the Pacers earlier this month, Drummond torched them with 14 and 21 with 4 assists and a block (47.75 fantasy points). Indiana is among the league's worst in defending opposing centers so there's a chance Drummond could follow that up with another solid game. Lonzo Ball, PG, Los Angeles Lakers ($7,100) OK, it Read More
The Studs Kristaps Porzingis, PF/C, New York Knicks ($9,400) The Unicorn is still technically questionable for Saturday's game against Sacramento, but the fact that he went through full practice on Friday and Jeff Hornacek expects him to be ready is an encouraging sign. Porzingod is an absolute fantasy beast this season, topping the 50-FP plateau in half of the 10 games he's played. Jeff Teague, PG, Minnesota Timberwolves ($6,800) Since Porzingis already had the bulk of the salary, you can Read More
NBA DFS Basketball Best Value Picks-- Nov. 8, 2017 The Studs Kyrie Irving, PG, Boston Celtics ($8,800) Kyrie has been amazingly consistent all year and has just dropped his first 50-FP game of the season against Atlanta. He is ranked second only to Steph Curry in terms of FPPG at the point guard position on Wednesday's slate of games on $500 less. Plus, we know how Irving loves the spotlight on big games and the rivalry outing against the Lakers exactly fits the bill. Andre Drummond, C, Detroit Read More
The trademark of a poor fantasy owner is impatience. It just happens well too often-- his better players start out slow and starts to put them on the trading block. If you see someone like that in your league, you better watch out if one or more of these players are on his team and you may want to part some of your overachieving ones as well. Here are some early season fantasy basketball buy low/ sell high targets: 1. Trevor Ariza, SG/SF, Houston Rockets (Buy Low) Ariza has been playing the Read More
It's just impossible to win a season-long fantasy league without working the waiver wire as there should be expected bumps along the way. The endless rotation shifts and injuries, however disappointing, is a fact of basketball life. A wise fantasy owner takes this into consideration and looks for ways to maximize their team's productions. Sometimes, you have to beat others to the punch but a sage-like owner doesn't need to: He just looks someplace others don't. 1. T.J. McConnell, PG, Philadelphia Read More
1. NBA refs are calling 3.4 traveling violations per game so far this season-- the highest in 20 years. 3. Marc Gasol is hooping... To open the season, Gasol is putting up 25 points, 10.8 rebounds, three assists, and 1.5 blocks on 49/44/86 shooting. 4. Meanwhile, in the Euroleague... 2018 top draft prospect Luka Doncic is averaging 24 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.3 steals on 50.9/43.5/89 shooting through four games. And he's just doing his work for only 27 minutes a night! 5. Read More
The Studs Giannis Antetokounmpo, PG/SF, Milwaukee Bucks ($10,900) The Greek Freak is on a mission, period. No explanation needed on this one. Pick him up and be ready to roll. Ben Simmons, PG/SF, Philadelphia 76ers ($7,700) Ben Simmons is doing his best Giannis impression right now and that's good news for fantasy owners. Simmons has just the right price to complement Antetokounmpo's high-end salary and has a high floor given his penchant to contribute across the board (except 3's). The Pistons Read More
1. Giannis Antetokounmpo, PG/SF, Milwaukee Bucks It's not that the Greek Freak will produce anything less than a 45-point DFS night, but I just don't like the fact that they're on the tail end of a back-to-back. Of course, I could be wrong and the possibility that Giannis will go ballistic against Portland after a loss to LeBron James and the Cavs but I favor James Harden (without CP3) at home against Dallas or Blake Griffin against Phoenix. 2. Elfrid Payton (PG, Orland Magic) and Dennis Smith Read More
