Fantasy Benchwarmers

We look into our (F)eel Good guys in this episode with the current top 3 guys in fantasy basketball - Steph Curry, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Kevin Durant. I was not a big fan of Steph heading into this season just because he was not as good last season and with the championship run last year my thinking was he'll be rested more. But so far, Curry has been really good...good enough to be fantasy basketball's number one player. 

SGA is another guy on fire of late and if you're worried about any "tanking" moves by the OKC Thunder, here's a something to remember: last season SGA played 70 games. By the current NBA standards that seems like a lot of games played. So there is a chance that he can replicate that and sustain this nice run.

Other players we discussed: Kevin Durant, Zach Lavine, Anthony Davis, Rudy Gobert, Klay Thompson, and Jordan Poole.

We kinda knew that Lauri Markkanen would be a good player to own this season after he was traded to the Utah Jazz, but honestly, we never thought he will be this good. Currently within top 40 in ranks, we discuss whether Markkanen is a sell, or keep? If he is a sell, what type of players should we target for him.

We also talked about the off-court issues of Kyrie and how this can affect him in fantasy. Commish shares his worst case scenario for Kyrie.

Plus, more player discussions - Paul George, Brook Lopez, Dennis Smith Jr., De'Aaron Fox, Isaiah Jackson.

The cliche "Buy Low, Sell High" is probably the most used in fantasy basketball. In reality, pulling off such trades is easier said than done, especially in very competitive leagues. So in this episode we talk about some buy low and sell high players and we throw out some names you can target for these players. 

We'll probably do more of these through out the season, but for today we discussed Anthony Davis, Paul George, Donovan Mitchell, Bol Bol, Bojan Bogdanovic, Jabari Smith Jr., Evan Mobley.

My, my, my, LUKA!

We know it's very early into the season, but Luka Doncic owners for sure could not contain their joy as their guy is on a tear! Is this the breakout we are waiting for from Luka? Which then brings back to my question, who can unseat Nikola Jokic as the top fantasy basketball player? If Luka can keep that 80% FT shooting through out the season, keep himself healthy enough, and pour out crazy counting stats that he is capable of, he could be the one, so let's see.

Kyrie Irving is another player who made his owners looking like geniuses by taking a chance on him during the draft. Like I said before, Kyrie has the best risk-reward ratio among the "risky" players during the drafts and the past few games is the glimpse of what the reward looks like. Now, when will we see the risk?

Here we go again, the annual Anthony Davis injury saga continues. It just never fails. AD seem to hurt his back during their game against Denver. The good news is he played through it, so let's hope this is just an injury that could be rested for a couple of days. Otherwise, managers who own him will once again feel the disappointment of owning a very fragile top fantasy pick.

We also discussed Russell Westbrook on whether it is safe to drop him now. With Myles Turner back as Indiana's starting center, is it still worth holding on to Isaiah Jackson?

Plus, some buy recommendations.

Our biggest worry player for today was Cade Cunningham. He put up another so so game and all this time we felt that he was prime for a breakout. We might be wrong. Has he taken a backseat to rookie Jaden Ivey? Or can he get back to the late season form he showed last season?

Kawhi was load managed today and will also miss the LA Clippers' next game. We kind of expected something like this, but this early? Looks like this will be a problem throughout the season for those who took Kawhi really early.

Bol Bol took the fantasy world into a frenzy today posting a solid line in just 20 minutes of play. Can he sustain this or is this a one time thing?

We also look into a bunch of worry players - Bam Adebayo, Anthony Edwards, Ben Simmons, Isaiah Jackson, Kyle Lowry and a few more. And we also celebrated the MVP-like start of Ja Morant!

Karl Anthony-Towns. We knew the arrival of Rudy Gobert will affect his fantasy value, but we never thought it was going to be this bad. The scoring had made a significant drop while the FG% is just atrocious for KAT standards. It doesn't help that KAT feels he is the "best big man shooter" in the league as he continues to clunk threes toward 30+% field goal. So what should we do now? Can he still get better and get closer to his ADP? Should we buy low on him? How low can we offer?

We also discuss a few more worry players - Evan Mobley, Norm Powell (again), Colin Sexton, and more.

A number of rookies are creating their own noise with their strong play in the first week of the NBA. In this episode, we look into the top rookies and discuss their performances and what we expect as the season goes along. Who among the rookies can still emerge, while which rookies will eventually fade.

We also talk about some of the struggling players as we figure out who should be a hold and who are drops.
