Five Teams To Target In 2022-2023 Fantasy Basketball

A lot of content focuses exclusively on which players you should draft (or not draft) and when. But what about specific teams? Should we target certain teams more heavily than others? While you don't have to stack up players from one team onto your teams (and in fact, it's probably a bad idea to put […]

The regular season is inching closer by the day, and most offseason moves have already been completed – barring a surprising Russell Westbrook trade, or the pending Jae Crowder deal when/if Phoenix finds a proper partner before tip-off day.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/5/22): Preseason NBA DFS Lineups

Only some modest profits last night, as I made some educated guesses that didn't pan out. The Blazers did play Damian Lillard and their starters quite a bit even on a back-to-back, while the Pelicans had a quick hook on Zion and CJ McCollum. We had the Knicks guys pegged correctly, but Utah was a […]

Fantasy Basketball Category Studs: Blocks And Steals

Blocks and steals, the two defensive stats used in typical category leagues, may seem secondary but they are just as important to manage as rebounds or assists, and they should not be overlooked.

NBA Draft Analysis: Second-Round Rookies to Watch Early for Fantasy Basketball

Patrick Beverley Not Considered A Point Guard Internally

Los Angeles Lakers guard Patrick Beverley is expected to serve as a "three-and-D" player this season, according to NBA insider Marc Stein.

The 34-year-old finished last […]

Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook might not be a starter heading into next season.
