Jared Dudley Struggles In Season Opener

Due to injuries, the Brooklyn Nets were forced to start veteran forward Jared Dudley in the team's season-opening loss to the Pistons. Dudley could see plenty of run in the short term on this team, but Wednesday's performance doesn't suggest that he's worth any fantasy consideration after he finished with just one point while shooting […]

Jarrett Allen Records Double-Double Against Detroit

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen opened the 2018-2019 season with a double-double in Wednesday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. The second-year big man scored 17 points on 6-for-10 shooting while also adding in 10 rebounds and four blocked shots. Allen is looking like a strong contender to be among the league leaders in blocks this […]

Caris LeVert Leads Nets In Scoring In Opener

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert scored a team-high 27 points on 10-for-18 shooting in Wednesday's season-opening loss to the Detroit Pistons. LeVert also made seven of his eight free throw attempts while adding four rebounds and four assists. A popular sleeper pick heading into the year, LeVert should occupy a spot in the team's starting […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/17/18): NBA DFS Lineups

This feels right. Yesterday was nice, but to be fair, those teams are always nationally televised. This is where we get to the real nitty-gritty DFS nonsense that we all love. A fat 12-game slate to start off the year for everyone and the options for value are endless. The first few games of the […]

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Ruled Out Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (groin) has been ruled out Wednesday night against the Detroit Pistons. Jefferson suffered the injury during the offseason and missed this year's preseason. Jefferson was trending in the right direction but will miss this year's season opener Wednesday. With DeMarre Carroll out for an extended period of time, the Nets […]

Allen Crabbe, Shabazz Napier Out Against Detroit

Brooklyn Nets guards Allen Crabbe (ankle) and Shabazz Napier (hamstring) won't suit up for Wednesday's season-opening meeting with the Detroit Pistons. With DeMarre Carroll (ankle) missing time after surgery on Tuesday, expect to see an increase in playing time for Caris Levert, a popular fantasy sleeper who is likely to start in place of Crabbe.

DeMarre Carroll To Have Ankle Surgery

Brooklyn Nets forward DeMarre Carroll will have ankle surgery, according to Nets head coach Kenny Atkinson. Atkinson downplayed the seriousness of the surgery and didn't offer a timetable for Carroll's return, but it can be assumed he'll miss some time. Expect an increase in minutes for Caris Levert while he's out, as well as potential […]

Fantasy Basketball Second 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 to the pro game, while some still are still maturing physically and mentally. There's always some surprise breakout rookies (Donovan Mitchell) that dial it in from the start, but it's never a […]

DeMarre Carroll Does Not Practice on Sunday

Brooklyn Nets forward DeMarre Carroll (ankle) did not practice on Sunday. It does not appear that this issue is serious. Carroll played well last season, but the Nets are trying to rebuild their roster with younger players. It's unclear what kind of role Carroll will have even when he's healthy. He's worth grabbing in the […]

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Practices on Sunday

Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae-Hollis Jefferson (groin) was able to practice on Sunday, but his return date is still unclear. Hollis-Jefferson suffered a left adductor strain in August and is still recovering from it. However, once RHJ is healthy, he'll likely jump right into the Nets starting lineup. It's unclear exactly when he'll be ready to […]

Allen Crabbe Still Not Practicing

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Allen Crabbe (ankle) is still not practicing after suffering an ankle injury last Monday. The Nets have not announced a timetable for his return, so it appears he won't be ready for the season opener. Spencer Dinwiddie, Caris Levert, and Joe Harris are expected to see increased playing time with Crabbe sidelined. […]

NBA Skill Set Scarcity: Where Are the Efficient Bigs?

I'm a huge fan of Jrue Holiday. I truly believe he might be the most underrated point guard of our generation in both real life and for many years, in fantasy too. He's an elite defender who has finished better than the 90th percentile in on/off opponents' point per possession numbers in his career, with […]

Shabazz Napier Remains Out of Practice

Brooklyn Nets guard Shabazz Napier (hamstring) is still not practicing after he suffered a hamstring injury earlier this month. Napier has reportedly been at shooting drills, but not practicing yet. Hamstring issues have a tendency to linger, so Napier could miss the beginning of the season. Regardless, Napier is likely going to be the third […]

Brad Leibfried's NBA Draft Sleepers List (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Oh, the fantasy basketball sleeper. It is a term that is often discussed and heavily debated. What makes a sleeper a sleeper, and when do they cross over the threshold from sleeper to overvalued. For me, the term sleeper just means a savvy draft pick who could […]

Joe Harris Posts 16 Points In Friday's Victory

Brooklyn Nets forward Joe Harris went for 16 points on six of 13 shooting, including two of seven from the perimeter, while adding three assists, three rebounds and just one turnover across 30 minutes in Friday's preseason victory against the New York Knicks. He also finished with a game-best 12 minutes. Harris could be a […]

He also added five rebounds, three assist and just one turnover in his 32 minutes. […]

Overvalued Players in Yahoo's Fantasy Basketball Rankings

We all depend on fantasy sites' rankings. Some use them and them alone to measure a player's value and figure out when to target him in the draft. Others just consult them to see a point of view of others and compare them to their own. But the truth is, no matter how confident we […]
