1.) Dennis Schroder, PG, Los Angeles Lakers It sucks to see LeBron James go down like that and worse, he could miss a couple of weeks with that high ankle sprain. Fantasy-wise, a lot of players will benefit from the King's absence. Schroder will handle the ball a lot and some usage also trickles to Kyle Kuzma and Talen Horton-Tucker. That said, my money is on Schroder to bounce back from a sub-par outing against Atlanta. 2.) Pascal Siakam, C, Toronto Raptors Probably a desperation move, Nick Nurse 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
The season hung in the balance in the aftermath of the Jacob Blake, Jr. shooting, but the NBA has collectively decided to push through and finish the playoffs. Like the owners and the league as a whole, I would have supported a decision in whichever direction, especially in one that I still get to enjoy the sport I love. Giannis Antetokounmpo and James Harden are absolute monsters in the four playoff games so far, but I couldn't help but wonder how the return of Russell Westbrook affects Harden's Read More
NBA basketball is upon us which means, FANTASY BASKETBALL is here! I'm sure you already had your season-long leagues down but what adds to the excitement is daily fantasy basketball.
So who gets the nod on the first day at the office? Here are some DFS basketball opening day must-starts that you should look at: Paul George, SF, OKC Thunder
Russell Westbrook will not be playing so it will be the PG13 show for the Thunder on Opening Day. George hasn't had a bad statistical game in the preseason Read More
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 point guard position is one of the deepest in fantasy basketball but even a gold mine runs out of resources, too. Here are some of the more underrated point guard options to shore your fantasy lineup.
On the Rise D'Angelo Russell, Los Angeles Lakers
All signs point to Russell having a breakout season, from Luke Walton's comments, to his Summer League performances and otherworldly offseason workouts. Believe it or not, Russell's numbers last season were pretty good too, especially the ones Read More
The Atlanta Hawks isn't quite rebuilding (re-tooling may be a better word) but they look different from last year. Two of its five starters are gone though they retained most of their bench from last season. Speaking of gone, fan favorite Al Horford is no longer here. Hometown boy Dwight Howard takes his place while the keys to the team's future was handed over to Dennis Schroder as they traded Jeff Teague to Indiana. It remains to be seen how the pieces fit for Mike Budenholzer but since Paul Millsap, Read More
Fantasy basketball is equal parts exact numerical science and equal parts alchemy. Steph Curry, LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, and a dozen or so options in the first round, they are the very definition of exact science. This one we're about to delve into, this is alchemy. I can be wrong, you can be wrong, but most the most important and interesting part of it all, there's nothing more fun than tinkering on the unknown. Here are the 5 potential fantasy breakout performers for the 2016-17 season:
In season-long fantasy leagues, having a balanced team without distinguishable weaknesses is a must. However, we couldn't always get what we want and chances are, there is that one category that we couldn't get a hold on. If improving said category becomes imperative, here are THIRTEEN of the best fantasy specialists still available in the waiver wire.

Rodney Hood, SG/SF, Utah Jazz (Availability: 33% Yahoo, 40% ESPN) When Alec Burks and his 14.3 PPG average went down, that much production Read More
January 23, 2015-- NBA DFS Basketball Best Value Picks: The Studs Paul George, SF ($9,000) The annual Paul George slump has officially passed although his three-point shooting says otherwise. However, that could change in Saturday's match-up with Sacramento. The Kings allows a league-high 10.3 three-pointers a game according to NBA.com stats, which could suit George very well since he attempts 7.6 a game.
Tyreke Evans, SG ($7,700) Evans has recently encountered a rough patch because of a Read More
