It’s a rough start coming into this new year. A lot of players are hurting. Injuries are hurting real-life teams and fantasy ones alike. You can ask the Portland Trail Blazers what that’s like…
Moving forward, let’s map out what to do with our fantasy lineups this week.
Schedule
Teams with four games (11): ATL, CHI, LAL, MEM, [...]
My boys have got the daily round-ups covered nicely. But since we want your fantasy basketball researching experience to be as informative and productive as possible, we have decided to make some additions to the blog to give you that extra assist to get that slam dunk W. I will be chiming in weekly, probably [...]

Round 6
Pick 6-1: Chris Andersen, F/C – This pick is way too early. Birdman’s game is too one dimensional to grab him in the sixth round. He passed up on the following [...]
Rounds five and six of most drafts are when “real reaching” begins to happen as more and more drafters pick up guys they want to speculate on. This is the zone wherein players values start to get a bit more debatable, and that’s actually part of what makes fantasy basketball so great; the fact that [...]

I’ve been tracking and assessing how the stats of each player picked interacts with previous picks from a strategic perspective. That’s just how I draft in [...]
Read More..>>Get it now: the GMTR Fantasy Basketball Weekly Schedule Grid. It contains:
1) A team-by-team weekly schedule grid for every team in league
2) A team-by-team daily schedule grid for every team in league
Now there are a lot of weekly schedule grids out there, but why is it so hard to find a daily list of games? [...]
In the first Dwight Howard related post, I created team that could win the free throw percentage category in a roto league with Dwight Howard prominently involved. Of course the team you have to build around Howard to win FT% is slightly ridiculous, filled with some of the best shooting guards in the league, a [...]
Read More..>>At this stage of the draft the teams’ visions and/or directions should be getting clearer. Well if it isn’t, then they’re either doing something wrong OR I need a really cold beer to wash it all down. What concerns me at this point, although I don’t know why it should, is that a good number [...]
Read More..>>The second round of the mock draft should prove to be interesting in the sense that we’re going to see how each of the drafters chose to build on their first-round picks. The first two picks of any draft represent the core of your fantasy team. How will the drafters do with their bounce picks? [...]
Read More..>>I will be doing a round-by-round analysis of the ongoing Readers Mock Draft. I did coverage of last season’s mock on my old blog when I participated in it. This season, it’s obviously clear that this is the more appropriate venue to do it since I am now writing for GMTR. I intentionally recused myself [...]
