Ah, the middle of December. It's not quite Christmas, but the pressure is still there. Hopefully by now you are holding up just fine and ready to move up the rankings in your fantasy basketball league. If you have one of the Fantasy Studs listed below, or maybe Anthony Davis on your squad, who just dropped a monster 50 point, seven rebound, six assist, and four steals game, then you might not be feeling any pressure at all right now. Whatever the case may be, don't get bogged

Alright folks, nap time is over! You've stuffed your face full of turkey, now it's time to get serious as we begin the final stretch of the year. It's not time to be reflective, or to be thankful, it's time to get your game face on and embrace one of the busiest times of the year. Don't get left behind in the hoopla between Thanksgiving and Christmas, buckle up, and embrace the wild ride. Fantasy Studs Five guys who stood out this week from the rest. Erik Williams-USA Today J

Tim Heitman-USA Today As we enter this Thanksgiving week, looking at your fantasy team, are you thankful or are you just ready for a break? Is your team stuffing the stat sheet like a turkey, or is your team just sitting there awkwardly like canned cranberry on the plate everyone is avoiding? If you have one of our fantasy studs below, there is a good chance you are coming into this week with good things to reflect on. If you happen to have one of our fantasy duds below, mayb

We look at week 4 of the NBA, some highs, some lows, and 0 possible guys to keep on your radar for your fantasy basketball team.

USA Today Week three of the NBA seemed to slow down a bit and things returned back to normal. Well, as normal as things in the NBA can be. The New York Knicks are back to being the worst team in the East at the moment, and joining them in the West is the Golden State Warriors, which is definitely new territory for them. Week 3 Fantasy Studs Mercury News D’Angelo Russell. I was hoping to see a scorched-earth Steph Curry this season, since that isn’t going to happen, why not a

USA Today Week two of the fantasy basketball season is down, and there are many more still to go. Are you pushing the panic button yet? Or are you sitting still trying to be patient? Week two wasn’t too different from a wild week one, but there were a considerable amount of major and minor injuries that you probably needed to adjust for. Week 2 Fantasy Studs LA Times Andre Drummond. Drummond has had back-to-back-to-back 20+ rebounding games. While the Detroit Pistons may not

CBS Sports The NBA season has officially kicked off, which means so has the fantasy season! With only a few games played for each team, we’ve already seen guys put up monster games, and we’ve seen some completely baffling performances. Here at Off the Glass, each week we will bring you up to speed with the fantasy landscape from the previous week, and what to look for in the upcoming week. Week 1 Fantasy Studs USA Today Trae Young - Young has been carving up defenses like the

Houston Chronicle Most categories in fantasy sports are ones where the more a player gets, the better it is for your fantasy team. Not so much in the category we are looking at today, turnovers. Some folks do not even like playing with this category, Yahoo includes it, while ESPN does not. I get it. It’s not fun to look at areas where a player may be weak. Recently many of the fantasy football gurus have been making suggestions to do away with kickers in fantasy football leag

Forbes The NBA is an offense-driven league. We love when a player averages 30 points a night for an entire season. Often lost in celebrating big shots being made is the defensive efforts that go into each game on a given night. Blocks aren’t the best indicator in someone being a good defender, but a guy who can block shots on a nightly basis is going to keep offenses honest and make players second guess their shot attempts. One of the best shot-blocking players of all time wa

MySuncoast Back in 1994, nine year old me watched the movie Monkey Trouble, which was about a girl who’s new pet monkey was a trained pickpocket. It blew my mind that a monkey could be so skilled in stealing, that most people never knew what was happening when it was happening. Where am I going with this, you ask? Up next in predicting the top-3 finishers in each fantasy basketball statistical category is steals! One of the most prolific NBA pickpockets probably isn’t a house

NBCSports One of the funniest moments in NBA History has to be the start of the 2008-2009 season when the Phoenix Suns faced off against the San Antonio Spurs. You may not remember this game off the top of your head, but perhaps you remember Spurs coach Gregg Popovich calling for a foul on Shaquille O’Neal in the first five seconds of the game. Shaq won the tip-off and immediately was fouled by Michael Finley. A Bewildered Shaq eventually locked eyes with Popovich, who had a

The Dream Shake One of the most exclusive clubs in the NBA pantheon is the 50-40-90 club. That is, players who have shot 50% from the field, 40% from three, and 90% from the free throw line. As it stands, only eight players have hit those marks-Larry Bird (twice), Mark Price, Reggie Miller, Steve Nash (four times), Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Malcolm Brogdon. There have been thousands of NBA players to make their way through the league, and only eight of those

Salt Lake Tribune Athletes often find themselves with nicknames throughout their careers; some stick, and some don’t. To this day, one of the greatest NBA nicknames belongs to Charles Barkley, also known as the Round Mound of Rebound. The nickname was a reference to both Barkley's weight, which fluctuated throughout his career, and his all-time rebounding ability. The NBA is moving away from traditional big men and towards a more versatile player who can hit shots away from t

USA Today Over the years, basketball fans have fallen head-over-heels for the player who can get buckets. If that player does little else well, the casual fan will tend to look past those inadequacies, and blindly cheer as long as they are scoring points. The same can usually be said for the casual fantasy basketball player. Some things that separate the NBA from other professional sports leagues include: - the speed at which the game is played; - the frequency with which bot

Sports Illustrated Back in 1998, Atlanta Braves pitchers Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux starred in a Nike commercial where they were training to revolutionize their game to be more like a home run hitter, à la Mark McGuire. They coined the term, "chicks dig the long ball." And they were right; people love home runs. While the NBA doesn't have a true home run equivalent, the 3-pointer is a close second when it comes to eliciting a strong emotional response from the crowd in the m

Telegraf Online sportsbooks have begun dropping their NBA team win predictions for the 2019-20 season, and this presents a lot to consider. We’re still fresh off of a chaotic offseason period, and basketball fans may be betting with their hearts, not with their minds. Right off the bat, there are a few numbers that seem to be a bit misguided. Boston Celtics: 48.5 wins The Celtics won 49 games last season, which makes this win total a deliciously evil proposition. It’s essenti

Nelson Chenault-USA TODAY Sports Here are some NBA DFS DraftKings value plays for tonight's 6-game slate. Come back tomorrow for a new lineup and today's results! March 28 Results: Lineup 1 - 304 Our second straight night past the 300-point mark happened thanks to Goran Dragic, who I expected to perform well but not this well. The Dragon finished last night's game against the Mavericks with just the second triple-double of his career on his way to a 61.5 DKFPs night and 12.3x

Bill Streicher/USA TODAY Sports Here are some NBA DFS DraftKings value plays for tonight's 8-game slate. Come back tomorrow for more lineups and today's results! March 27 Results: Lineup 1 - 308.75 We did really well last night, and it was in big part thanks to Devin Booker's second straight 50-point game. Each of the other plays we picked were all expected to deliver big value (which most of them did), but Booker made sure we had a very profitable night. There are some inter

NewsDay/Jim McIsaac Here are some NBA DFS DraftKings value plays for tonight's 5-game slate. Come back tomorrow for more lineups and today's results! March 26 Results: Lineup 1 - 245 My value plays answered the call, but it was the four bigger names that did nothing impressive. Each of them landed somewhere between 4 to 5x value, but I expected everyone to destroy their opposing matchups. That obviously didn't happen, and we're now facing the consequences. Nothing you can do
