With my league’s playoffs starting next week, my decision to hold out for the return of Elton Brand certainly doesn’t look good. He clearly won’t play next week and although he continues to practice and say that he wants to play this season, he is most likely not going to play one […]

The playoffs are approaching. Leave your comments, questions, or problems in the comments box.
The Bulls - Watch out for the two-game week. The Bulls are the only team with just 2 games on the schedule this week.
Eddy Curry - Either straight cut him or bench him. It hasn’t been officially announced, […]

Hit me with your fantasy questions in the comments section below and I will do my best to answer all of them…
Gilbert Arenas/Elton Brand - Here is the daily update: Gil went through a “full” practice, though it sounds like it was mostly non-contact drills. Elton Brand also practiced […]

Game counts. If you’re in a head-to-head league, you have to pay attention to the game counts more than ever. Before you make a deal or sign a free agent that you need to fill in for an injury look ahead and check the playoff game counts for any player you are about to […]

If you’re still reading this column, congrats. It most likely means you’re officially in the stretch run in your league. If it’s a roto league, you’re probably looking for that last push in one or two categories. If it’s head-to-head with playoffs, it’s time to start maneuvering your roster to make sure you are ready […]

Sam Cassell — Let the green era begin for Sam-I-Am. Cassell’s value will be up and down for the C’s. Like I said the other day, I really expect the Celtics to limit Cassell’s minutes and save him for the playoffs. I think Rondo still gets 30 minutes a game, but […]

Sebastian Telfair - Telfair’s scoring numbers are still inconsistent, but Bassy has turned a corner in his career. He has learned to become a playmaker and to use some of his talents on an NBA floor. These are things that, if you watched him […]

As always, leave your questions in the fantasy comments box.
Roger Mason - Roger Mason probably hasn’t earned a spot on your fantasy roster yet, but he’s certainly positioned himself to stick around the League and earn consideration for a pick up. The Wizards are dealing with all sorts of injuries right now. With Arenas, Butler, […]

Caron Butler - There is some talk that Caron, who is listed as questionable, will miss the week and won’t play again until after the All-Star Break. With only two games for most teams this week, I think you have to go with guaranteed stats. I’d wait until the last minute, but my guess is […]

As always, leave your fantasy questions in the comments box.
Andray Blatche - When Caron doesn’t play, Blatche is nasty. Last night he had 16 points and 15 boards in the Wizards loss. He clearly has the ability to be a regular fantasy contributor if Washington can find minutes for him. He’s such a tough […]

The deal is still pending but if there is one fantasy move you should do right now it is to go pick up Boris Diaw. Diaw is the clear-cut fantasy winner if this trade goes down. We all know what Diaw can do if he has big minutes (see two years ago). I wouldn’t expect […]

Chris Webber - There is no way, no how I’m a believer that Chris Webber is going to be a mainstay in Nellie’s rotation and play “30 minutes” a night. Remember, Don […]

As always, leave your fantasy questions in the comments box.
Leon Powe - KG is out for the week and if you need a forward, Powe isn’t a bad short term option. My guess for the averages for the week? 11 points and 7 boards.
T.J. Ford - Welcome back […]

Dwight is a fantasy All-Star
We continue our look at the first half Fantasy All-Star team with the centers. Remember, to make this list, you needed to EXCEED expectations. Names you most definitely will not see on this list? Eddy Curry, Darko, and Shaq.
Yao – I know Yao was a top pick and I know […]

Th Fantasy Doctor is on it … here are the fantasy winners of the trade…
Rudy Gay - The biggest winner wasn’t even involved in the deal. The big fantasy winner from this whole thing is Rudy Gay (or should I say Rudy Gay owners). Gay’s numbers without Gasol have been filthy and the team has […]
