  • S03DFQ36 - Can we trust Porzingis? Lonzo or Herro - who would you rather own?
    Kristaps Porzingis has had a string of really good games, so the question is, can you trust him for the rest of the season? Is this the new Porzingis under the Jason Kidd system? We share our thoughts about whether or not we feel KP can sustain this.
    We also discuss the player who is probably the front-runner for Sixth Man of the Year - Tyler Herro. Another guy's performance we question if it can be sustained. And we debate between Herro and Lonzo - who would you rather own for the rest of the season?

  • S03DFQ35 - Are you giddy on Josh Giddey? Some possible trade targets to sell your Giddey.
    First of all, let me announce that I am now a proud owner of an Alperen Sengun stock in one of my fantasy teams! So now let's see what the hype will be all about with this rookie.  
    Speaking of rookies, Josh Giddey has been playing "not too bad" basketball these days. Other than inconsistent scoring and a below average FG, his other stats have been okay. Now in case you are thinking of selling your Giddey since he definitely has the name value for a nice trade, we share a couple of names that you might want to target.  
    Players talked about in this episode: Tyrese Haliburton, Lonzo Ball, Jarred Vanderbilt, Matisse Thybulle, Terry Rozier and a lot more!

  • S03DFQ34 - What to do now with Michael Porter Jr.? Cade Cunningham makes his case for fantasy ROY.
    We got some not so good update about Michael Porter Jr. from The Denver Post and it's looking like MPJ is the front runner for bust of the year. Well, I hope he gets better soon. Nothing is final though as Denver Nuggets has not announced anything official yet, but it is not looking good.
    One player looking good is Cade Cunningham. First it was Scottie Barnes then we had Evan Mobley, now Cunningham is making his case for fantasy ROY. He actually looks good. The stats still need a little work but from real basketball sense, he look really good.
    We will be on the Beef Stew vs. King James watch. Will both players be suspended after the drama that happened today? Like I've said, hopefully this fires up Isaiah Stewart into a solid fantasy contributor we have all been hoping for.

  • S03DFQ33 - Is Brandon Ingram a buy low?
    One player so far struggling after coming back from injury is Brandon Ingram. I am personally not too high on Ingram, so hard for me to decide if I should buy on BI. But in this episode we throw maybe a name or two that you could try if you feel BI is a buy low opportunity.
    We also talk about mini-Gobert - Clint Capela. Capela as we've mentioned before tends to be a slow starter, so hopefully the string of good games he has had is the start of another strong fantasy run. 
    A whole lot of Alperen Sengun as well in this episode and guess who have been one of our favorite streamers so far this season.

  • S03DFQ32 - Forgotten Lavine, Kings' and Pacers' woes and our Kevin Love deal for the year.
    I'm not sure about you guys, but I stayed away from Zach Lavine this season thinking that the stats will be shared among their big 3 (Lavine, Derozan and Vucevic). Lavine though has been thriving despite having Derozan next to him. As commish would say, he's always been a safe choice in the draft and despite him being a shooter, his percentages are just really good for a scorer.
    We also talk about the Kings' and the Pacers' struggles. Well both in real basketball and in fantasy. Players like Richaun Holmes and Myles Turner started out really good this year but has slowly fizzled.
    Commish and I also got our Kevin Love deal in place. I'm quite confident I'll win this one this year. Unlike last year when the chances of me winning was smaller, this year, I will really be disappointed if I don't.

  • S03DFQ31 - Can Gary Trent Jr. keep this up? Worried about Bam Adebayo and Pascal Siakam?

    Trades within FBW leagues are aplenty today with 4 submitted to the commissioner's office just today. Looks like managers are now making some moves to either shake things up or further strengthen their respective teams.

    We kick off the quickie with some OG Anunoby injury news which does not look too good. No official timetable was provided but it's looking like multiple games will be missed. Hopefully teams with OG will be able survive this temporary setback. Is it now time for Chris Boucher? In this first game without OG, it still does not look as attractive for Boucher fantasy-wise.

    Gary Trent Jr. has been really solid this year. This will probably make the OG injury a little less painful for the Toronto Raptors. In fantasy, how long do you guys think can Trent Jr. sustain this strong run?

    Other players we talked about - Bam Adebayo, PJ Tucker, Bones Hyland, Georges Niang, Rudy Gay and more.

  • S03DFQ30 - The Carushow must go on. Mo' Love for Mo Bamba

    We Lakers fans call him the GOAT now that he is Chicago, Alex Caruso is the Lakers' TOTGA - The One That Got Away. Honestly, we never really thought he'll be a very relevant fantasy player as his game, being a hustle guy, does not really translate to stats. But after seeing the Chicago Bulls' depth chart and watching the pre-season games, I kinda felt he could be roster-able, but still, I did not expect him to be good or even a top 100 player. Yet here he is.

    On the flipside, Mo Bamba is that guy I was a bit surprised was not ranked higher. With all the talk about guys who did well at the second half of last season, Bamba was just the forgotten guy. Can he continue this top 25 run?

    Oh and Larry Nance Jr, should be off your waivers by now, just in case he is still there, get him, the trend is looking good.

  • S03DFQ29 - Zion update, is he worth the wait?

    Zion Williamson has started to do 1:1 drills according to the Pelicans. I'm pretty sure it's an update Zion owners will be pretty excited about. We talk about our own take on Zion and why we're not as excited yet, not even excited for the rest of his season. Klay Thompson is another player who is inching closer to a return. Klay is doing contact 5:5 drills already and it wouldn't surprise us if he plays sooner than later.

    Many managers have also asked for some appreciation on the San Antonio Spurs' Dejounte Murray and we give it in this quickie. Who would you rather have now, Murray or Jrue Holiday?

  • S03DFQ28 - Time to Drop Melton now? What is up with Christian Wood, Julius Randle?

    So, this could be it. He is a a fantasy darling among a lot of fantasy analyst and now it's looking like the end is near. De'Anthony Melton has been all we have always hoped for in terms of his fantasy production. Of course we always knew Dillon Brooks could eat into Melton's minutes, but 16 minutes today? Okay it was a blowout, let's give him that, but looks like the trend is not looking too good. Is he a drop? Who should I pick up to replace him? We discuss some buy players who can be considered over Melton.

    Christian Wood is supposed to be the Houston Rockets' best player. Managers who picked him expect that of him as well, but this Houston team seems to have some of the most inefficient players when it comes to fantasy basketball. See Kevin Porter Jr., see Jalen Green, then look into Wood's percentages. Julius Randle is another player who is playing way below his early season run. Can he turn it around?
