NBA Draft 2023: Second-Round Rookies to Watch Early

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 […]

2023-2024 Fantasy Basketball: Preseason Risers and Fallers

A key skill in fantasy basketball is being able to weed through the noise. Just because a rotation player dropped 30 points in a preseason game doesn't mean that it will translate to the regular season. The inverse is also true. Poor performances in exhibition games shouldn't force us to overreact negatively. Being able to […]

The Time Is Now: Third-Year NBA Breakouts (2023-24)

"Breaking out" has different definitions for different players. For some, it's taking that All-Star leap, for others it's as simple as cracking the starting lineup and playing over 25 minutes a night.

Best Mid-Round Values To Target In Fantasy Basketball Drafts

In fantasy basketball, you can't win your draft in the first three rounds, but you can certainly lose it.

You know, the guys […]

One Injury Away: Valuable Handcuffs To Keep An Eye On For 2023-24 Fantasy Basketball

Handcuffing is a popular strategy in fantasy sports that involves drafting the backups to your studs.

This makes a ton of sense in fantasy football, with injuries more frequent and positional scarcity being a thing. Deploying this […]
