Deep League (14+ Team) Adds Brandin Podziemski – Podziemski likely won’t play enough when Steph Curry is healthy to be more than a so-so deep league option, but given how good he’s looked the last couple of games, he’s worth a flier in most leagues in case Kerr surprises. It’s not like the Warriors have […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. (Pick Up): Hardaway Jr. continues to play like a must-roster player. While he won’t continue to be this good, most of what he is doing is sustainable. There are a bunch of players around the league who are putting up some surprising numbers due to some unsustainable shooting, but that’s not the […]
Herb Jones: Jones is a must-roster in all leagues. He should not be viewed as a borderline player. He’ll have some very quiet nights because he’s a low-usage player, but his upside is too high to leave on the wire. As long as he’s playing minutes in the 31+ MPG player, he’ll have a shot […]
Daniel Gafford: Last night, the Wizards pulled off one of the most shameless tank jobs you will ever see. Unseld treated this game like it was taking place on April 13th instead of November 13th. Gafford was dominating the Raptors all night and Unseld rewarded him by playing him a total of zero minutes in […]
Clippers top three: Another terrible night for the Clippers. It will probably get a lot better, but who knows when. There have been no signs that a turnaround is imminent. Through four games, George is the Clipper star that I am the least worried about. He’s posted two duds and two big lines beside Harden. […]
We’ve got a good list this week. This list is light on long-term 12-team difference-makers, but it contains plenty of names that could give us top-100 numbers or so (and mid-round numbers in friendly builds) for at least a couple of weeks. If you play in a 12-team league, be sure to check out the […]

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 […]
