NBA Injuries and Who Can Benefit Instead (Week 15)

We're approaching crunch time in fantasy. And just like that, it's Week 15, as you must do anything possible to make the playoffs. Once you get there, it's an entirely different ball game. Holding onto injured players with little upside is likely a bad move at this point. The injury bug has been real this […]

Kyle Kuzma Shines In Lakers Win

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma was terrific in a surprising 108-107 win over the Celtics on Wednesday, scoring a team-high 28 points. Kuzma shot an efficient 10 of 16 from the field, including five of seven from downtown. He doesn't do much outside of scoring and treys on most nights, but his upside is […]

Brandon Ingram Continues Awful Shooting

Los Angeles Lakers forward Brandon Ingram still could not find the rim on Tuesday, finishing just 2-for-11 from the floor for a forgettable seven points. Ingram did chip in nine boards, four assists, a steal and block, but he's averaging just 8.3 points on 29 percent shooting over the last five games. It's been a […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Probable on Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (Achilles) is probable to play against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday.

Kyle Kuzma Puts up Solid Line in Poor Shooting Night

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma scored 18 points on 16 shots in a tough loss to the Grizzlies. Owners will still be pleased with the seven rebounds and five assists he garnered throughout the contest, but the poor shooting is still a cause for concern. Kuzma has been less and less efficient recently and […]

Larry Nance Jr. Contributes Across The Board In A Sound Performence

Los Angeles Lakers forward Larry Nance Jr. contributed 15 points on nine shots, grabbing 11 rebounds and adding a few defensive stats throughout the game.

Josh Hart Has Impressive Outing Versus Grizzlies

Los Angeles Lakers guard Josh Hart started off slow but finished with 16 points, shooting 5-for-10 from the field. Most of the Lakers struggled without Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball conducting the offense, but Hart proved to be a more than capable scorer when given opportunities. Hart continues to be an ideal role player, and […]

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope led the Lakers into Memphis on Monday and managed to have a fairly efficient night from the field. He scored 27 points on 16 shots while leading the Lakers in scoring on what was an overall poor night for most of the starters. Pope was left to generate much […]

Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers (Week 14)

Recapping the past week of basketball in a string of words without any context: Porzingis. Lonzo??? OVERTIME. DOUBLE OVERTIME. Le...LeBron? CP3! London. Udoh again? LOU WILL LOU WILL LOU WILL.  It was a wild week in some ways. This is accidentally a guard-heavy edition of Risers and Fallers. I think part of that is because […]
