Tyrese Maxey - NBA DFS Picks, Daily Fantasy Basketball Rankings, Injury News

Fantasy Basketball Buy or Sell: Friday, November 22

It’s Friday, and you know what that means: another edition of Buy, Sell, or Hold! Yes, we’re far enough into the season to start forming some opinions -- but don’t get too comfortable! It’s still early, and the fantasy landscape can flip instantly. Just because Player A is off to a rough start doesn’t mean […]

2024-25 Fantasy Basketball Buy or Sell: Friday, November 8

It’s Friday, and you know what that means: another edition of Buy, Sell, or Hold! Yes, we’re far enough into the season to start forming some opinions—but don’t get too comfortable! It’s still early, and the fantasy landscape can flip instantly. Just because Player A is off to a rough start doesn’t mean they’re doomed, […]


Bam Adebayo - Miami Heat

2024-25 Fantasy Basketball Buy or Sell: Friday, November 1

By this point in the fantasy basketball season, most managers have two things in common: a burning urge to overreact and a creeping sense of panic. It's practically wired into our DNA. Whether it’s jumping on breakout performances or dreading a star player's slump, the thrill (and agony) of managing a fantasy roster has us […]

Fantasy Basketball Buy or Sell: Reacting to Early-Season Performances

If you’ve clicked on this article, chances are you’ve got some strong feelings about the first three nights of basketball. Maybe the player you were hyped about totally flopped (looking at you, Jimmy Butler), and now you're stuck in panic mode. Or—hear me out—the guy you auto-drafted in the 10th round just went off, and […]

Third Year Breakouts For 2024-2025 Fantasy Basketball

Most NBA players take a year or two to find their groove. Sure, the occasional phenom (looking at you, Victor Wembanyama) shatters every expectation we have about young players. But generally, it takes some time. For those first-year players who didn’t make that big leap in their second season, year three is often the "make […]

Alex Burns's 2024-2025 Fantasy Basketball Rankings (Points)

Last week, I released the first edition of my fantasy basketball rankings for the upcoming season, tailored for category scoring -- the most popular format in fantasy basketball. However, I would be remiss not to address those of you competing in points leagues. After all, it was a points league that first introduced me to […]

Alex Burns's Fantasy Basketball Rankings (Categories): Top 250 for 2024-2025 Drafts

Here we are, folks -- almost to the finish line! After what seemed like possibly the fastest offseason in NBA history (we say this every year), we are a few weeks out from watching real NBA hoops. And that can only mean one thing: fantasy basketball is back, baby! The NBA offseason delivered its usual […]

Fantasy Basketball: Three Things I Like And Don't Like After Week 10 + OG Anunoby Trade Reaction

Can you believe that we're already 10 weeks deep into the NBA season? We've officially hit the double digits. It's wild. A wise man once said,"'time flies when you're having fun." But in this case, a more appropriate quote may read '"time flies when you are obsessively fixated on tweaking your roster while dealing with […]

Fantasy Basketball: Three Things I Like And Don't Like After Week 7

Can you believe that we're already seven weeks deep into the NBA season? It's wild. A wise man once said,"'time flies when you're having fun." But in this case, a more appropriate quote may read '"time flies when you are obsessively fixated on tweaking your roster while dealing with unlimited injuries and trying to figure […]


Fantasy Basketball: Three Things I Like And Don't Like After Week 6

Life in the NBA moves fast. With multiple games occurring every night and so much data to digest, it can be tricky to stay on top of everything efficiently. And when it comes to fantasy hoops, being in the know is vital to your success. Fortunately for you, that's where I come in. I'm proud […]

Fantasy Basketball Fades? One-Trick Ponies To Beware Of For 2023-2024 Drafts

If you've been around fantasy hoops for some time, then you understand how valuable a well-rounded skill set can be. It's the very reason why Nikola Jokic can finish as the top fantasy player year after year. The inverse is also true. While there are plenty of guys who possess the talent to provide value […]

2023-2024 Fantasy Basketball: Preseason Risers and Fallers

A key skill in fantasy basketball is being able to weed through the noise. Just because a rotation player dropped 30 points in a preseason game doesn't mean that it will translate to the regular season. The inverse is also true. Poor performances in exhibition games shouldn't force us to overreact negatively. Being able to […]

Alex Burns's 9-Category Fantasy Basketball Rankings for 2023-2024

Well, we made it. Almost. After what seemed like the quickest offseason in NBA history, we are less than two weeks away from watching hoops that count. The NBA's return also brings with it the thing that we all cherish most: fantasy basketball. Back in July, I kicked off the offseason with my Way Too […]


Best Mid-Round Values To Target In Fantasy Basketball Drafts

In fantasy basketball, you can't win your draft in the first three rounds, but you can certainly lose it. Early on, the goal should be to build your team around surefire studs, while mitigating as much risk as possible. The middle rounds represent a fantastic opportunity to go after high-upside players. You know, the guys […]


One Injury Away: Valuable Handcuffs To Keep An Eye On For 2023-24 Fantasy Basketball

Handcuffing is a popular strategy in fantasy sports that involves drafting the backups to your studs. While it might sound moronic to draft bench guys, the heart behind it is to shield against injuries. This makes a ton of sense in fantasy football, with injuries more frequent and positional scarcity being a thing. Deploying this […]


Julius Randle - NBA DFS Picks, Daily Fantasy Basketball Betting, Prop Picks

Alex Burns' 2023-2024 Fantasy Basketball Points Leagues Rankings

While category leagues require more strategy, points leagues are pretty straightforward. Each week, you go head-to-head with an opposing team, and the team who scores the most points wins. It's as simple as that. That's not to say that points leagues don't require any strategy. It does. But it looks a bit different. If you […]

Draft Room 101: Punting Strategies and Picks (Premium Content)

When drafting your fantasy team, there are a number of different strategies that you can deploy. Rather than blindly building out your roster based on who's available, it's vital to head into your draft with a game plan. Over the last decade, punting categories have become a tactical strategy across the fantasy community. If you […]

Fantasy Basketball Instant Reaction: Damian Lillard Trade

Well, it finally happened. For the first time in 11 years, Damian Lillard is no longer a Trailblazer. On Wednesday, the nearly three-month saga that held NBA news hostage all summer came to an abrupt halt after Lillard was astonishingly acquired by the Milwaukee Bucks. It was a blockbuster three-team deal that included the Phoenix […]


2023-2024 NBA Futures Bets: Season Win Totals - Pacific Division

With the NBA Draft and a good chunk of free agency behind us, major sportsbooks have begun releasing their season win totals for the 2023-2024 campaign. And since we're still more than a month away from televised hoops hitting our TVs, I thought it would be fun to take a closer look at how Vegas […]


Alex Burns's Way Too Early Fantasy Basketball Rankings for 2023-2024: Part 2

Life in the NBA moves fast. Less than four weeks ago, we witnessed the Nuggets deliver the city of Denver its first NBA title. Then came the NBA draft. And now, I'm sitting on the couch critiquing Summer League performances while stuffing my face with a bag of Cheetos. Oh, the irony of being a […]

Fantasy Basketball Strategy: Analyzing and Projecting Usage Rates

Usage rate is best defined as an estimate of the percentage of team plays used by a player while on the floor. In its simplest form, it measures how many of a team's total possessions a player ends by way of a free throw, field goal, or turnover. In layman's terms, it tells us who […]


Top 10 Rookies For Redraft: 2023 Fantasy Basketball

When it comes to rookies in fantasy hoops, opportunity is everything. Sure, talent is important, but there's always a chance that it won't pay dividends in year one. In layman's terms, an ultra-talented player stuck at the back end of a contending team's depth chart won't exactly win you a fantasy championship. Yes, we're looking […]
