Injuries are a fact of life in the NBA. It just seems that the bug is biting more stars than usual this season, with Kyrie Irving the latest victim. [Read more…]

Fan Duel Diary: Load Up On Lakers
Before selecting individual players each night for daily leagues, I try to highlight certain games. On Monday night, I did not expect the Nuggets to play so well against the Grizzlies, and thought the Hawks would absolutely destroy the Magic. Wrong on both counts, so my ATL and MEM players were disappointing. Luck is also a factor; with a 9-man team you need everyone to produce, and I used Stephen Jackson, who suffered a broken hand. Needless to say, the week
Lakers Step up the Pace; Kobe and Durant gets Triple-Doubles
A 40-point opening quarter, all five starters in double figures and improved bench scoring led to 119 points for the Lakers, whose new coach Mike D’Antoni has already had an impact without even sitting on the bench. When Steve Nash (leg) replaces Darius Morris at PG, Kobe Bryant will start to get more open looks. Last night, Mamba was a facilitator, dropping 11 dimes as part of his triple-double (22 PTS, 11 REB) and Dwight Howard (28 PTS, 13 REB,
Fan Duel Diary: Clean Slate in Week 4
Three weeks of playing in daily leagues has taught me one thing — it’s definitely not as easy as it looks. I’ve tried various sizes of leagues: 3-player, 5-player, right up to large tournaments. A $10 shot in the dark each Friday in the $5,000 qualifying tournament for the $150,000 DFBBC Final eats up ten percent of the budget; I tend to play in $1 and $2 contests with a few forays into the $5 level. When LeBron James plays, I’ve used
Spurs Thump Nuggets; Grizzlies & Clippers Keep Rolling
The depth of the San Antonio Spurs was never more evident. With Kawhi Leonard (knee) out for the next couple of weeks, Stephen Jackson (9 PTS, 9 REB) stepped in as the starting SF, and Manu Ginobili had his best game of the season, with 20 points in 23 minutes off the bench. [Read more…]
FanDuel Diary: Daily Leagues A Challenge
Congratulations to “tuuckk” whose team scored 263 fantasy points to win the $200 first prize in our Saturday Freeroll. It was a tough beat for “muggsy205,” who finished a strong second with 261 but earned nothing in the winner-take-all payout format. My team limped home 88th out of 146 entries, as “sure thing” Varejao was outplayed by Chris Kaman, who ironically had bombed in my Friday Freeroll lineup to cost me at least a consolation prize. Week 3 has been very
Grizzlies Maul Knicks; Kobe Leads Fast-Paced Lakers; $200 Saturday Freeroll
The surging Grizzlies have won seven in a row, knocking off three of the top-ranked teams in the NBA this week. They beat the Heat convincingly last Sunday, defeated the Thunder in OKC on Wednesday and last night topped the previously-unbeaten Knicks. Now 7-1, their only loss to the Clippers in the season opener, Memphis has the best record in the league. Before we take a look at fantasy-relevant news from all the Friday action and preview what might happen in
