Justin Holiday Efficient From Three In Win Over Heat
Chicago Bulls forward Justin Holiday had an excellent shooting performance, hitting seven of his 11 threes. Holiday finished with 25 points and four rebounds, but this game was all about the emergence of Zach LaVine in just his second game in a Bulls uniform. Holiday played his usual number of minutes, but the scoring continues to […]
Jake King-Finnen 7 years agoZach LaVine Is Back
Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine was exceptionally promising in his second game in the Bulls rotation. In only 19 minutes, he scored 19 points on 12 shots, adding five rebounds and five assists to his stat line. Not only was this important for LaVine’s confidence, it was a surprisingly relevant fantasy performance. LaVine should be […]

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Eric Bledsoe continues to transition into the Bucks offense, and against the Wizards he struggled to generate much offense early in the game. The Wizards have an athletic back court, and this performance is a direct result of having more contested opportunities than chances at easy baskets. Bledsoe remains one of […]

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo was the center of the Milwaukee offense once again and benefitted from poor shooting performances from the rest of the Bucks. Even though Antetokounmpo led the team in points and rebounds, it was a slower night for both teams and there was no real offense until late in the game. […]

Detroit Pistons guard Avery Bradley continues to be a high-volume shooter for the Pistons, but struggled mightily from the field on Monday. He finished with 15 points on 19 shots, so there is much to be desired from Bradley as far as fantasy owners are concerned. Bradley will always have upside because of his consistent […]

Detroit Pistons forward Reggie Bullock was efficient from the field Monday afternoon, but he was also one of few. Except for Anthony Tolliver, the Pistons struggled to generate offense against Charlotte and most of the shot attempts fell to Bullock and other catch-and-shoot specialists. While the rest of the team is struggling, Bullock has transitioned […]
Jake King-Finnen 7 years agoAnthony Tolliver Delivers Against the Hornets
Detroit Pistons forward Anthony Tolliver managed to explode for 17 points through three quarters, an extremely unorthodox performance for the veteran. Not only did he score, but he kept the Pistons within striking distance for most of the game. Tolliver continues to be a streamer option in most leagues, but games like this make him […]
Jake King-Finnen 7 years agoTobias Harris’ Hot Start Is Cooled Off By Foul Trouble
Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris started off the game by scoring eight of the Pistons first 12 points but was limited due to foul trouble. He didn’t get much run until late in the game, but Harris has still been a top offensive option for the Pistons, and that will not change going forward. He […]

Indiana Pacers point guard Cory Joseph was the main beneficiary of the Pacers routing of the Phoenix Suns. Joseph managed to shoot efficiently from the field, scoring 16 points and dishing six assists in the win. Joseph played 31 minutes, so his stats are a tad inflated, but his play should still be noted while […]

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis rebounded his way into fantasy relevance on Sunday by securing 14 boards in only 23 minutes of action against the Suns, who are one of the top rebounding teams in the league. Though he was not able to score much, he proved his versatility and ability to be effective wherever […]

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo scored 17 points and grabbed a few rebounds in a great team win over the Suns. Indiana continues to roll over sub-.500 teams and challenge contenders behind Oladipo’s on-court leadership. His ability to score has made him the top dog in the Pacers offense, and even though he and the […]

Dallas Mavericks point guard Yogi Ferrell managed to post a double-double in rebounds and points against the Los Angeles Lakers, the league's second best rebounding team. The six-foot Ferrell continues to show hustle and determination on both sides of the ball, easily claiming the role as the team's enforcer and grinder. Recently, he has been […]

Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. started off strong but significantly cooled off in the second half of the Saturday afternoon game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Sacramento Kings guard Bogdan Bogdanovic tied his career-high 19 points Tuesday night versus the Lakers. Although it was in a futile attempt to best the interstate rival, Bogdanovic continues to increase his role and value in the Kings organization.

Toronto Raptors guard Delon Wright started to trend up during the game Kyle Lowry went down with a back injury, and he has been riding that wave of minutes since. For as long as Lowry is out, Wright will need to be owned and played. As the interim point guard for one of the league's best […]

Miami Heat forward Josh Richardson is still producing but is already seeing the effect of James Johnson returning to the rotation. Richardson was posting outrageously awesome stat lines for some time, but his usage has already taken a dramatic drop over the last week, and his production will suffer moving forward. The Heat are also […]

Six games tonight with an early Warriors-Clippers game at 2:30PM. It's important to note the lack of options at small forward, and the problem is whether to go big with LeBron James or Giannis Antetokounmpo. Even Jimmy Butler is enticing, but both Butler and James have the better matchups on paper. Antetokounmpo will be going […]

There are only five games tonight which means I get to be brief. One great thing about tonight is the lack of high-priced options. LeBron James is taking on an easy matchup and the spread is heavily favoring the Cavaliers. With James' price at $12,300, rostering him puts a serious ceiling on the rest of […]

Sunday starts off early with Wizards @ Clippers at 2:30PM, followed by Heat @ Brooklyn at 5PM. Both games offer a ton of value, especially in Clipper and Wizard backcourts.
