Thad Young and the New Look Pacers

If adding Jeff Teague wasn't enough, the Pacers traded their 20th pick and future second round pick on draft night to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for 28-year old forward, Thaddeus Young. Brooklyn was a 21 win team last year and much of that is thanks to Thad. Averaging 15.1 points / 9.0 rebounds last […]

How the Jeff Teague Trade Shakes Up Fantasy NBA

Jeff Teague has officially been sent to the Indiana Pacers in a three-way deal. In return, the Atlanta Hawks receive the 12th overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft from the Utah Jazz, while George Hill is on his way to Utah from Indianapolis. While this trade may have been eclipsed in the media by […]

Myles Turner (PF, IND) - Strong FanDuel Play on 2/10/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs CHA, $5,700 ANALYSIS: With his recent play, Turner is looking like he could be the steal of the lottery in the 2015 NBA Draft, save for that Kristaps Porzingis guy. Over his last 10 games, he's exceeded value nine times, and by an average of more than seven points per contest. Even better, […]

Monta Ellis (SG, IND) - FanDuel Value Play on 2/3/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at BKN, $6,900 ANALYSIS: Ellis has nearly put up Westbrook-like fantasy point totals over the last week, twice eclipsing the 50 point total in hist last three games. Even with the increased production and salary bump, I really like his chances to far exceed his price implied point total tonight against the Nets' abysmal […]

Myles Turner (PF, IND) - FanDuel Matchup Play on 1/30/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: vs DEN, $5,100 ANALYSIS: Myles Turner is listed as a power forward on FanDuel, and he should be able to dominate the Denver Nuggets tonight. Sure, Anthony Davis (possibly) is going to play, along with Draymond Green and others, but Turner provides the most 'bang for his buck.' He is, or at least did […]

Myles Turner (C, IND) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Speculative Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Myles Turner has had two nice outings in a row for the Pacers. He hasn't been getting consistent playing time, but with starting center Ian Mahinmi spraining his ankle he's had an opportunity to play more minutes. The rookie will have […]

C.J. Miles (SF, IND) - Great Tourney Play on FanDuel for 1/17/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at DEN, $4,400 ANALYSIS: Time to get back on Miles, especially if PG13 ends up not suiting up. Miles has seen decreased production over the last couple games mainly because his shot has refused to drop. Opponents are shooting 46% from the field against the Nuggets, which is seventh-best (or worst, from a Nuggets […]

Monta Ellis (SG, IND) - No-Brainer FanDuel Play on 1/17/16

MATCHUP/VALUE: at DEN, $6,200 ANALYSIS: It seems like George Hill is looking increasingly more like a no go for Sunday, and there are even more grumblings that Paul George may see less minutes or not play at all as well. I would be surprised if PG13 does not go, but Hill appears to be a […]

Ian Mahinmi (C, IND) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: With the departure of Roy Hibbert last offseason, Ian Mahinmi has started all 33 games for which he was active this year for the Indiana Pacers. Now in his eighth season in the NBA, Mahinmi is seeing career highs in minutes (24.2), points […]

Ian Mahinmi (C, IND) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Ian Mahinmi is not the sexiest waiver name, but I'm a sucker for under-the-radar players who can help in multiple categories. As a big man, the field goal percentages are going to be there for Mahinmi. The free-throws won't be, but […]

C.J. Miles (SG/SF, IND) Has the Sweet Stroke Going

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 48% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: C.J. Miles is in the zone right now. The Pacers shooting guard/small forward has been shooting as well as he ever has in his career the last few games. On Tuesday night though, despite a sore ankle, Miles put together a […]

C.J. Miles (SG/SF, IND) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues OWNED: 31% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues ANALYSIS: Miles has been given the green light to shoot in Indiana, averaging 17.2 points per game over his past six games and considering Rodney Stuckey watched his minutes dip during the last month and then sat out Wednesday's game in Oakland to […]
