Posted by Patrick on November 30th, 2010 filed in Author: Patrick, Fantasy Basketball

Line of the Night: It got a little scary for Dwyane Wade (2.53) owners the past couple of weeks. An illness plus a wrist injury plus a lack of happy-happy time caused Wade to score less than 20 points in 5 straight Heat games, capped off by a 1-13 shooting performance on Nov 22. And [...]

Line of the Night: With both Andrew Bogut (sore elbow/back spasms)  and Drew Gooden (plantar fasciitis) out of the Bucks’ starting lineup, Brandon Jennings (2.51) did (almost) everything to make sure Milwaukee defeated the Charlotte Bobcats. He finished the night with 32 points, 7 assists, 6 threes, 2 steals, and even went  6-6 from the [...]

Fantasy Basketball Roundtable: Waiver Wire Bargains

Posted by Nels on November 27th, 2010 filed in Author: Erik, Author: Nels, Author: Patrick, Fantasy Basketball Roundtable

Hosted this week by Will Overton at RotoProfessor. Who’s being overlooked? I said: Landry Fields is sitting at about 39% ownership, but providing stats at almost Top 100 level talent. It simply cannot be possible that 60% of leagues have only 8 teams in them. I know you have to factor in “dead” leagues when [...]
