Week 3 of the 2021-22 NBA season is officially in the books. Action Network fantasy basketball analysts Dan Titus and Adam Koffler recap everything that happened in Week 3 and take a look ahead at Week 4 and beyond. 

In this week’s episode, Titus and Koffler give some hot takes while looking at a few notable players’ usage rates to begin the season. Can DeMar DeRozan’s hot streak continue or is it just a small stretch of really good basketball? Why were people so high on Kevin Porter Jr.?

Titus and Koffler also run through a few notable underperforming players and tell you whether or not you should be hitting the panic button this early in the season.

We’re only a few weeks into the new NBA season, but Action Network analysts Matt Moore and Brandon Anderson are already a little worried about some of these poor starts around the league.

What in the world is wrong with the Celtics? Is this just the same old Blazers, and will Damian Lillard ever snap out of his funk? What do we make of this mess around the Phoenix Suns, and is there a long-term worry? Are the Clippers anything other than just… average? And exactly how much sky is falling on the Pelicans present and, maybe, future?

Let's panic.

Be sure to check out the Buckets Fantasy show every Monday where analysts Dan Titus and Adam Koffler break down the fantasy schedule, waiver adds/drops, and strategies heading into Week 4.
