It's never too early to start streaming. Whether you have an opening due to an injury, you auction-drafted a crew of stars and scrubs, or you just didn't bother putting any effort into your last couple draft picks, you probably have a player or two on your team who isn't must-own. You're better off using... Read More
NBA Waiver Wire: Punting Small Stats (FT%, 3PM, AST) for Week 4
Another week of NBA is behind us. Another set of ups and downs, poor performances, injuries and opportunities for new faces to shine. Another week of shots blocked, balls stolen, rebounds grabbed. On the other hand, another week of missed free throws, no threes shot and no balls passed. For all of you who don't... Read More

NBA Waiver Wire: Quality Game Streamers for Week 4
When you are trying to stream players to win your head-to-head fantasy basketball matchup, often when your streamer is playing matters as much as who he is.

NBA Bench Risers for Fantasy Basketball Week 3
NBA teams have a multitude of players coming off the bench, each with a unique role to fill. As a fantasy owner, you need to decide which of those players can contribute across multiple categories and have the potential to make the most of their time on the court.

NBA Waiver Wire: Punting Small Stats (FT%, 3PM, AST) for Week 3
Different Fantasy Basketball leagues have different values for different stats and therefore different values for same players. Depending on a league's setup, a missed free throw can mean a lot in one league while it means next to nothing, or literally nothing in another. The strategy of punting is used in head to head category... Read More
NBA Waiver Wire: Punting Big Man Stats (FG%, REB, BLK) for Week 3
Last week I recommended Lou Williams, Josh Richardson, and Kelly Olynyk in this space. Lou Williams has averaged 16 points with 1.8 threes and 3.8 assists in the four games since, and I will continue to recommend him as a valuable asset for teams punting FG%, REB, and BLK. Josh Richardson made his debut on... Read More

NBA Waiver Wire: Deep League Options (Week 2)
The first week of Fantasy Basketball is behind us and the early results are in.

NBA Waiver Wire: Punting Small Stats (FT%, 3PM, AST) for Week 2
If you went big heavy in your draft you may choose to punt one or more of the categories in which guards usually contribute the most. You're going to have a hard time competing with guard-heavy or balanced teams in those stats anyway. If you play in a league that counts turnovers, maybe even double... Read More
