For the first time in forever, the NBA Finals featured rosters without anyone named LeBron James or Steph Curry. It was a refreshing sight for basketball fans, and the last couple of games in the series were not for the feint of heart.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was named Finals MVP, delivered a performance for the ages and a historic series. And now, the Larry O'Brien trophy is in Milwaukee, much to the delight of some 65,000 fans in attendance in the Deer district. If you're a stathead like me, Read More
1.) Lauri Markannen, PF/C, Chicago Bulls
Yahoo: $13; DraftKings: $4,300
Markannen has not been playing well lately, but he still plays enough minutes to be potentially relevant. Still, with three out of five games under 20 FP, he also has the same potential to flame out. But with his salary so low, he is still worth a look in certain matchups.
2.) Terrence Mann, PG/SG, Los Angeles Clippers
Yahoo: $12; DraftKings: $4,900
Kawhi Leonard will be taking a rest Sunday so that opens up more minutes Read More
Palming a basketball is an often understated skill in basketball. It's not a requirement to play, and it's not a deal-breaker, to begin with. With that being said, knowing how to palm a basketball can give you so many advantages. It helps you in ballhandling, shooting, dunking, and even on defense. Let's examine more closely how to palm a basketball.
Steps on How to Palm a Basketball
First, let's define what "palming" is in basketball. In this article, "palming" is holding or gripping the ball Read More
Who has the most rings in the NBA? What do Bill Russell, Michael Jordan, Tom Heinsohn, Robert Horry, and Steve Kerr have in common? Well, those guys have the most rings in NBA history.
Well, if you’re a student of the game, you may have known quite a bit of them. If you’re new to basketball, you may not have the slightest idea who they were. You probably don’t care because, after all, they are all retired. So why don’t we get our recent history right and rank the 10 active players who Read More
1.) Facundo Campazzo, PG/SG, Denver Nuggets
Yahoo: $12; DraftKings: $4,000; FanDuel: $4,200
With so many injuries in the Nuggets backcourt, they are forced to lean on international veteran Facundo Campazzo in the latest string of games. The Argentine did not disappoint, scoring double-digits in each of the last three games plus a total of 12 dimes and six steals. I say that's not bad at all.
2.) Cam Reddish, SG/SF, Denver Nuggets

Reddish has hit Read More
Tuesday's two-game slate is pretty interesting-- one featuring Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals and another a winner-take-all Game 7 in the Western Conference finals. At first glance, it is easy which game to commit to-- and that's the Clippers-Nuggets series-- but at the same time, it could backfire. A Game 7 will likely feature a tighter rotation and more stringent defense, thus limiting fantasy points, probably except from the big guns.
With that being said, I'd be very tempted to tap Read More
The best part about yesterday's games is that the big guns came to play. Luka Doncic ended his campaign in style, Kawhi Leonard was in beast mode, while Jamaal Murray and Donovan Mitchell continue their insane and historic duel. Fred VanVleet and Nikola Jokic were also stellar.
Now, if you had Montrezl Harrell and Seth Curry in your rosters as bargains, that might set your team back a little. Harrell basically did nothing while it would be better off if you selected Trey Burke instead of Curry in Read More
Eric Gordon did what he was supposed to do in a fantasy-perspective, giving us 23 points plus extras. In my bargain picks yesterday, three were alright and one was pretty much non-existent despite playing 38 minutes. As I have said, you don't need to roster all five, but this is simply a guide so you can fill the rest of your roster with players in the near-minimum.
Now, there were only two series remaining after Miami and Toronto brought their brooms. This makes the roster maneuvering a little Read More
This year's NBA Playoffs 2019-2020 will be different as many of you know - there will be no home court advantage, no fans, no travel. But the best part is each team will play every alternate day and there will be very little time for adjustments and players to recover from injuries.
This NBA Playoffs 2019-2020 will be wide open compared to most year's because of "no court". I wouldn't be surprised if an 8th seed happens to upset a 1st seed. (I'm looking at you Damian Lillard and Portland Read More
The NBA restart is finally upon us and while it was not pretty, I am just relieved basketball is back. The games were full of sloppy plays-- kind of what we expect after a four-month hiatus-- but both came down to the wire and the big-time players came to play.
"Sloppy" is not just a word I'd describe the first two games in the bubble. I would also use that to describe two of my five choices, or shall we say suggestions, in the last article. Those were Reggie Jackson and Ivica Zubac who both fizzled Read More
