Hornets Forward Rotation (Sell High): All of the Hornets’ forwards are sell-high candidates with a Miles Bridges’ return looking increasingly likely. If the suspended forward is on the court later next week, Miller, Hayward, and Washington will all see their minutes and usage dip. Hayward and Washington should still be standard league players with Bridges on […]
Projections for FGM (Field Goals Made) and FTM (Free Throws Made) have been added to the projections page. You can find the new projection sets under the “Points Leagues and Extra Cats” portion of the projections page. Elite Fantasy Basketball now has projections available for the standard nine categories as well as offensive rebounds, defensive […]
Dereck Lively (Hold): The low minutes were due to foul trouble. Lively picked up two quick offensive fouls about halfway through the first quarter and we didn’t see much of him after that. The rookie is a hold in 12-team leagues. In 10-team leagues, I would try to hold as well, even though his current […]
Drew Eubanks (Pick Up in 14+ team leagues): Eubanks is a must-roster in 14-team leagues and is a viable grab in 12-team leagues if you need big man numbers. The Sun is not playing a ton (19.6 MPG), but that doesn’t really matter when you are as productive on a per-minute basis as Eubanks is. Over […]
As expected, Week 2 was a much quieter week for pickups than Week 1. However, there were quite a few strong short-term adds that popped up, as well as some interesting long-term options that won’t win you your league but could end up as top-100 options or better in friendly builds. I’ve added a previous […]

I was only able to get through seven of the 13 games tonight. Normally, I’d just write up the other six tomorrow morning, but since I have a five-hour flight with a toddler tomorrow, I’m not going to have time to finish it off. Instead, I threw together a couple of tweets that break down […]
*I’m going to be extending the “Draft Season” package expiry date until the end of Week 2. Starting in Week 3, there will be a package available that allows you to purchase rest-of-season access to the site. Julius Randle (Buy Low): Another rough night from the field and the line from Randle. It’s annoying, but […]
Harden Trade Analysis From a fantasy standpoint, this is not the most interesting trade in the world. It boosts some players and hurts others, but there are no clear 12-team pickups. Harden leaving the Sixers should turn Tyrese Maxey into at least a top-30 option. With no high-usage players coming back to Philadelphia, 25+ PPG, […]
Fred VanVleet (Buy Low): VanVleet is one of the stronger early-season buy-low targets. If you are punting FG%, it would almost be criminal to not at least enquire about his price. His upside in that build remains enormous. While two duds in three games is annoying, it’s not something to be too worried about. The […]
It’s been an interesting start to the year. While there haven’t been a ton of potential difference-makers popping up on the wire, there have been quite a few potential top-100 players. That’s a nice change from last season when the top Week 1 pickup was Santi Aldama. Most of the players on the below list […]

Delon Wright (Pick Up): Twenty-five minutes may not seem like a ton, but for Wright, it’s enough to turn him into a very nice piece. If you are punting points, he is a must-add. In other builds, he should be considered as well. If his minutes end up in that range, he’ll have mid-round upside […]
LeBron James: LeBron teams may be in a little trouble. James was limited last night. As the game was going on, it was assumed that this was just a game one thing, but after the game, Ham suggested that LeBron is going to around 30 MPG this year. If that proves to be the case, […]

1) Victor Wembanyama – From a fantasy standpoint, Wembanyama is the most exciting prospect since Anthony Davis. While it would be a slightly risky move because we don’t know whether or not Wembanyama’s frame can consistently withstand an 82-game schedule, he is viable in dynasty startups as high as pick two. The Spur has a […]

Kevin Durant (Pick 9-12) Punt Steals: Durant/Bridges – Will usually be there in 14-team leagues. Could be there in 16-team leagues as well if you take Durant around 12. Pairs the fragile Durant with the most durable player in the league while getting you off to a very strong start in points, threes, blocks, both percentages, […]
Luka Doncic (Pick 2-6) Punt FT%: Doncic/VanVleet – Should be there in a lot of 14-team leagues. Lights out in the categories that punt FT% has to target early. Very strong in points, threes, assists, and steals. FG% should be fine once you start taking the traditional punt FT% bigs, but try to avoid taking any […]
