BUCKETS

The NBA is back on Thursday, but before we get into the slate of games, NBA Analyst Matt Moore is joined with professional bettor Raheem Palmer for a special MVP edition of the Workshop. 

Joel Embiid remains the consensus favorite with only a quarter of the season left but is there still value in betting on Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, or the field?

They use Raheem's MVP projection model as a baseline to break down the coveted award and present other narratives that could factor into winning over the MVP voting members. A lot could be at stake when the Nuggets travel to Philly on March 14th - so if you're looking for insight on the MVP race, listen in.

Brandon Anderson and Matt Moore are back tomorrow with the Friday Happy Hour, where they'll bucket championship contenders into tiers after the All-Star break.

You might hungover from All-Star Weekend, but don’t get too complacent. With still a few nights of basketball left in Week 18, Action Network fantasy basketball analysts Dan Titus and Adam Koffler break down everything you need to know to help get a win this week and prepare for the playoffs.

The Celtics, Nuggets, Pistons, and Suns each play three games in four nights to end the week, so you’ll want to consider guys from those teams as streamers starting Thursday. With Chris Paul set to miss 6-8 weeks, we’ll tell you who we like best to pick up his vacated minutes in the Phoenix backcourt. And are we really going back to the well with Marvin Bagley III? If you need some boards to close out the category this week, you could do much worse.

Titus and Koffler also break down a number of strategies depending on where you currently are in your league’s standings. Are you battling for a win each and every week or are you already comfortably in the playoffs? Either way, we’ve got you covered!

And it wouldn’t be an episode of Buckets without a hot take or two. Tune in to find out what moves the guys are making to better position themselves come playoff time.

The action-packed NBA trade deadline has come and gone. Action Network fantasy basketball analysts Dan Titus and Adam Koffler break down all the trades and provide you with the fantasy impact of each move while also taking a look ahead at an extended Week 18 due to the All-Star break.

It all starts with Brooklyn and Philly - who made the biggest deal at the deadline centered around James Harden and Ben Simmons. Both these guys clearly needed a change of scenery, but their fantasy values don’t change all that much. Andre Drummond went to the Nets in this blockbuster deal, and he could see the biggest boost in minutes of all the pieces involved.

Derrick White went to Boston for Josh Richardson and Romeo Langford. White’s role as the sixth man looks secure in Boston, but this trade impacts the fantasy value of one San Antonio Spur who wasn’t even involved in the deal. Koffler and Titus discuss who that player is.

And in a strange turn of events, the Mavericks traded Kristaps Porzingis for Spencer Dinwiddie. What does this mean for the Washington frontcourt and who loses value in the Dallas backcourt as a result of this move?

As always, Titus and Koffler run you through the upcoming schedule and talk about the best waiver wire adds for both the short and long-term as we get closer and closer to the fantasy basketball playoffs that are just around the corner.
