Fantasy Basketball Third Year Breakout Players

Drafting rookies is always a risk, especially in the “one and done” era that we have with college players now. Some adapt quickly and others end up taking several years to finally evolve their game and become starters or rotational players. And some don't pan out at all. Instead of targeting rookies in my drafts, […]

Shop the Sales: UDFA Who Could Find Quick Success

It's funny that every year at the NBA Draft, once the end of the guaranteed money and live appearances arrives at the end of the first round, everybody tunes out and refers to the 60th pick as "Mr.Irrelevant". That's not very accurate though, is it? Speaking historically, the title of "Mr.Irrelevant" could just as easily […]

Rays Re-Sign Catcher Mike Zunino

The Tampa Bay Rays agreed to re-sign catcher Mike Zunino to a one-year deal worth $2 million on Wednesday. If the Rays decline his $ 7 million option for the 2022 season, he'll receive a $1 million buyout. The 29-year-old hit just .147/.238/.360 with four home runs and 28 RBI in 28 games during the […]

Preseason NBA DFS Primer for 12/18 - Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice for FanDuel, DraftKings

It's the final big preseason slate! Like last night, we have seven games on this Friday night slate. The core was solid last night as Vucevic and Curry went off and Luka did his thing. For today's core I am giving you three duos to consider rolling out together as a different little wrinkle. I'm […]

The Grass Isn't Greener: NBA Free Agency Fallers

Free agency can be a great opportunity for players to find new homes that mesh with their playing styles and help them achieve their potential. But it can also be a chance for players to think they're doing that and then wind up in a bad situation where they're unable to find NBA success. This […]

We are now less than one week away from opening night of the NBA regular season! But we still have four more preseason slates left to play and there's still money to be made! Each of the four games on tonight's slate is the first of a two-game set between these teams as they will […]

Buster Posey Remains Giants Primary Catcher

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey will remain the team's "primary catcher" in 2021 and will receive "the lion's share of the reps" behind the dish despite the presence of top prospect Joey Bart, according to manager Gabe Kapler. The six-time All-Star is owed $21.4 million in what could be the last year of his […]

Dusty Baker Unsure If He'll Return Beyond 2021

Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker is unsure if he wants to manage the team beyond the 2021 season. "Maybe," Baker said. "Depends how I feel. Depends on how the team feels about me. ... You never know what changes are going to come about in life." The 71-year-old is entering the final year of his […]

Harry Giles III Looks Impressive During Camp

Portland Trail Blazers center Harry Giles III has reportedly looked impressive during training camp and in the preseason, according to head coach Terry Stotts. However, it doesn't sound like Giles will have a significant role to begin the season. It appears Enes Kanter is a lock for the backup center role right now. That means, […]

Daniel Theis Might Sit Out On Tuesday

Boston Celtics center Daniel Theis (back) is currently listed as questionable for Tuesday's preseason matchup. Tristan Thompson (hamstring) will sit this one out as well and could miss some games to begin the regular season. Theis is expected to have a bigger role with Thompson injured, so hopefully this back issue is minor. Robert Williams […]

Steven Adams (C, NO) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 64 Overall CURRENT ADP: 78 ANALYSIS: The rumors finally became a reality, with 1) Oklahoma City entering full rebuild-mode and 2) Steven Adams being moved out of town as he didn't make much sense to keep there anymore. That's why Adams in now a Pelican and will share the court with […]

Brook Lopez (C, MIL) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 72 Overall CURRENT ADP: 89 ANALYSIS: After eight seasons playing big-man-ball, Brook decided enough was enough all the way back in 2017, when his three-point attempts jumped from 0.2 per game to 5.2 while still in Brooklyn. From that point on, Brook has been stretching the floor day in and day […]

Tristan Thompson (PF/C, BOS) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 85 Overall CURRENT ADP: 135 ANALYSIS: With the addition of Andre Drummond last season, the paint of the Cavs' squad was getting a little clogged. Thompson, a free agent this offseason, thus opted to bolt away and pack his bags to land in Boston where he will be the no. 1 […]

Nikola Vucevic (C, ORL) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 20 Overall CURRENT ADP: 35 ANALYSIS: I know. I know this series is meant to highlight draft sleepers. While Vuc is not a literal sleeper (ADP nearing 35) he is definitely an undervalued player, so I'm writing about him whether you like it or not. A modern, floor-stretching big, Vucevic might […]

Mohamed Bamba (C, ORL) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 100 Overall CURRENT ADP: 120 ANALYSIS: Although Bamba is actually getting drafted by fantasy GMs this season (ADP of around 120), he should be much better for the Magic than that number suggest. Mo has ample competition in Orlando to get heavy playing minutes in the zone, sure, but while Bamba […]

Hassan Whiteside Progressing To 3-On-3 Workouts

Sacramento Kings center Hassan Whiteside (calf) has progressed to 3-on-3 workouts as early as Monday. Head coach Luke Walton mentioned that Whiteside could play some minutes over the next two preseason games. It'll be interesting to see how Walton decides to split up the minutes between all the bigs. Whiteside should be able to hold […]

Jakob Poeltl (C, SAS) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 145 Overall CURRENT ADP: 195 ANALYSIS: Poeltl's not the safest pick of the year, as his role in San Antonio hasn't been super consistent over his two seasons there. But he started all eight games in the bubble, averaging 8.3 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.9 steals, and 1.4 blocks per […]

Bol Bol Feels Comfortable At Power Forward

Denver Nuggets center Bol Bol mentioned that he feels most comfortable at power forward, but is willing to play whatever head coach Mike Malone asks of him. It's unlikely that Bol gets much playing time at power forward with Paul Millsap and Michael Porter Jr. healthy heading into the season. His best path to minutes […]

Aron Baynes Expected To Be Starting Center

Toronto Raptors center Aron Baynes is expected to be the starting center when the regular season begins, according to head coach Nick Nurse. This news comes as no surprise after Baynes signed a two-year deal with the team over the offseason. The departure of Marc Gasol means Baynes is set to see significant playing time. […]

Clint Capela Likely To Sit On Friday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's preseason game against the Orlando Magic. He is dealing with soreness rather than a sprain, but the team is going to be cautious regardless. It's the same foot that gave him issues last season, but is not related to the plantar fasciitis issue. […]
