NBA Forwards: Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers
Hello and welcome to another week of questions. Today I bring you answers to the most important question of them all: "Who is playing well NOW?" These three forwards of varying sizes bring heavy momentum to the forward slot and can be the spark that any stumped Fantasy Basketball Manager could greatly use. Position Eligibility […]
Ish Smith (PG, PHI) - Strong FanDuel Play on 1/16/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs POR, $6,900 ANALYSIS: Ish Smith has played extremely well over his past couple of games, and he should continue to excel tonight against the Portland Trailblazers. The Trailblazers are a solid defensive team, but Smith is essentially matchup proof. In his last five games, he has three games over 40 fantasy points, and […]
Ishmael Smith (PG, PHI) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/7/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ATL, $6,100 ANALYSIS: Ish Smith has taken over in Philly, and in a big way. He's the only competent point guard on the roster, and it's shown with his gaudy assist totals. Now these aren't Rubio or Rondo assist numbers, but he's tallied at least nine in four of his six games as a […]
Ish Smith (PG, PHI) - Great DraftKings Play on 1/2/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at LAC, $7,200 ANALYSIS: Smith’s price continues to rise, and he continues to be a bit underpriced. There is not reason to avoid him right now. He is playing heavy minutes for the Sixers, and he clearly is the leader of their offense. He has the ability to potentially contribute in all five categories, […]
Nerlens Noel (PF, PHI) - DraftKings Upside Play for 1/1/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at LAL, $6,300 ANALYSIS: Noel has been playing exceptionally well since the Sixers traded for Ish Smith, as he has scored 41.25, 39.0, and 37.25 fantasy points in those three games. He has also started at center in each of those three games, which is the position he has been much more successful at […]
Jerami Grant (SF, PHI) - DraftKings Tournament Option for 1/1/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at LAL, $4,400 ANALYSIS: The Sixers may choose to have Jahlil Okafor come off the bench for the time being, as Noel plays extremely well with Ish Smith. If Okafor starts the game on the bench, Grant will likely draw the start at power forward. He’s coming off a huge game, in which he […]
Ish Smith (PG, PHI) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/1/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at LAL, $6,500 ANALYSIS: Smith’s price is on the rise, but it’s still entirely too cheap. He has scored 42.75 and 45.25 fantasy points in his last two games, and he’ll continue to be the main focus of the Sixers offense tonight. He gets a great matchup against the Lakers, who have been one […]
Ish Smith (PG, PHI) - Value Play on DraftKings on 12/26
MATCHUP/VALUE: @ PHO, $4,500 ANALYSIS: Smith comes with a ton of risk tonight because his minutes are far from guaranteed. He does know the Sixers offense, as he played with them last season, and he should be able to steal minutes at point guard. He flashed big play ability with the Pelicans earlier this season, […]
Ish Smith (PG, PHI) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Ish Smith has found yet another new home. He is returning to the Philadelphia 76ers after an up-and-down start to the season with the New Orleans Pelicans. In late November, the 27-year-old point guard had a stretch of seven consecutive games with double-digit […]
Jerami Grant (PHI, PF/SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Hooray! The 76ers finally won a game! In case you couldn't tell that was loaded with thinly veiled sarcasm. Finally getting one in the win column is not totally irrelevant, though--at least not for fantasy purposes. It removes a massive load […]
Isaiah Canaan (PG, PHI) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in deeper leagues; monitor in all leagues OWNED: 30% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball league ANALYSIS: Assuming no spike in the abilities of Tim Frazier or Ish Smith, Isaiah Canaan seems to is slotted into the starting point guard role forthe 76ers for the rest of the season. Brett Brown is going to rely on the […]
Robert Covington (SF/PF, PHI) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues OWNED: 56% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball ANALYSIS: Philadelphia is very thin at the forward position and as a result, Covington has been thrust into the starting lineup where he has taken advantage of this role. The former Tennessee State Tiger's per game over the past five have been 17 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.2 […]
