One Trick Ponies (Big Name Guys Who Only Help A Few Categories)
Every NBA stud has his strengths and weaknesses in fantasy hoops. In a category league, knowing what those strengths are is obviously an important step to being successful.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/11/22): Preseason NBA DFS Lineups
These slates are never all that easy to solve and we can see them get turned on their head rather quickly. Yesterday, after I finished writing in the morning we saw Joel Embiid ruled out, and then Miami decide to rest all of their core players, too. Just make sure if you haven't already you […]

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. Each team's depth chart is mostly complete, so it makes sense to start analyzing how it […]
Malik Beasley Still Banged Up
Utah Jazz guard Malik Beasley (ankle) remained sidelined during Friday's practice. He hasn't been able to suit up for practice since injuring his ankle during Tuesday's preseason game. Luckily, the Jazz don't play again until Tuesday, so Beasley has some time to rest and recover. His name has been a hot topic to be traded, […]

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 Risers, Rookies and Draft Sleepers (Northwest Division) - Collin Sexton, Josh Giddey, Anfernee Simons, Mike Muscala

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/4/22): Preseason NBA DFS Lineups
So I messed around and got a triple-double last night when I took down the $1 20-max on DraftKings, which was pretty cool. I only played 15 lineups but was tempted to throw 20 in when the contest overlayed by nearly 1,000 entries. My winning lineup had a bunch of plays in it from this […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/3/22): Preseason NBA DFS Lineups
NBA DFS is back! Yes, we still have two weeks until the season officially tips off, but that doesn't mean we can't get ahead of the field by playing some NBA Preseason DFS! Is it risky? Absolutely!

Alex Burns' 2022-23 Fantasy Basketball Rankings and Draft Analysis
I know what you're probably thinking."Fantasy basketball rankings in September? We haven't even begun training camp. Does he have nothing better to do with his time?" While I do find myself suffering from significant boredom during the NBA offseason, I want to clarify one thing: It is NEVER too early to begin discussing fantasy hoops. […]
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. Yes, it feels cool to grab all the guys who can score points and average double-doubles, but if you aren't rostering players […]

NBA Draft: UDFAs Who Won't Waste Time
It's funny that every year at the NBA Draft, once the end of the guaranteed money and live appearances arrives at the end of the first round, everybody tunes out and refers to the 60th pick as "Mr. Irrelevant." That's not very accurate though, is it? Speaking historically, the title of "Mr. Irrelevant" could just […]

The Detroit Pistons have reportedly landed small/power forward Bojan Bogdanovic in a deal with the Utah Jazz, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. The trade will reportedly send veteran big man Kelly Olynyk and young guard Saben Lee headed back to the rebuilding Jazz, as the Pistons are likely to slot the 33-year-old sharpshooter into a […]
Cody Zeller Joins Jazz Roster
The Utah Jazz have signed free-agent center Cody Zeller to a one-year deal. The big man appeared in just 27 games with the Portland Trail Blazers last season. However, Zeller did have a solid track record when he was playing with the Charlotte Hornets. This is a good move by the Jazz who are in […]
Lauri Markkanen Impresses During EuroBasket 2022
Utah Jazz power forward Lauri Markkanen will face many question marks ahead of his first season with a new franchise, but if his production for Finland during EuroBasket 2022 is any indication, he should fit in just fine. Markkanen averaged nearly a point per minute across seven games with the Finnish national team, compiling 27.9 […]
Collin Sexton Declares Himself Healthy
Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (knee) reported he's 100% healthy heading into training camp. The 23-year-old suffered a knee injury last season while playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers, limiting him to only 11 games. Despite his health concerns over the years, he is still a solid contributor, holding career averages of 20.0 points, 3.3 assists, […]
Jazz May Have Trouble Moving Mike Conley
Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley is a name rumored to be on the move. With the team moving on from Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell, it's a new era in Salt Lake City. Bojan Bogdanovic and Jordan Clarkson are also favorites to be traded. Still, dealing Conley may not be easy, primarily considering his hefty […]
Four Teams Interested In Jordan Clarkson
Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson may be the next player on the roster to be moved. Teams are interested, with Memphis, Milwaukee, Sacramento, and Toronto emerging as potential landing spots. The 2021 Sixth Man of the Year took a step back last season, finishing with averages of 16.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists. Nevertheless, […]
More Teams Interested In Bojan Bogdanovic
Utah Jazz forward Bojan Bogdanovic continues to draw interest from teams throughout the NBA. Although the Knicks were among the first to emerge as a potential suitor, it appears the Suns, Lakers, and Mavs are also looking to acquire him. With the Jazz in an obvious rebuilding phase, it's certainly possible Bogdanovic will be suiting […]
