Be sure to read this great fantasy column by Jan Hubbard, who founded the Larry Bird League when the Legend was still playing. We’ve all traded a few superstars, but damn few of us break the bad news to them in person. [Read more…]
On New Year’s Eve, we wish all readers a safe, happy celebration. It’s also our last chance of 2015 to win big in daily fantasy tournaments. There are six games in the NBA, two of them beginning at 6:00 Eastern. [Read more…]
HOUSTON — Dwight Howard wore a T-shirt depicting characters from the movie Step Brothers after Saturday night’s big win over the Los Angeles Clippers. When asked about it in the Rockets’ locker room at Toyota Center, Houston’s star center responded with his usual mix of jovial humor and brutal honesty: “This is Step Brothers,” Howard told the media while laughing. “Me and James [Harden].” In that movie, of course, stars Will Farrell and John C. Reilly often bicker before being forced to put aside their individual

Dwight Howard called me a liar Tuesday night. He is mistaken. I wrote that Howard is very unhappy in Houston, and I stand by that report 100 percent. For the reasons why he is unhappy, and my best guess as to where he will finish the season (Miami), click over and give a read to my column. But back to the liar part. Howard was interviewed in Sacramento after the Rockets lost to the Kings, and the man asking the questions was Jonathan Feigen,

And with the Rockets underachieving more than any NBA team, look for them to try to move Howard later this season. And the destination that makes the most sense is Miami in a trade centered around Hassan Whiteside. It makes so much sense, in fact, that I will go so far as to predict that Howard will be wearing a Miami Heat
Injuries and illnesses are a fact of life in pro sports. In deep traditional fantasy leagues, if you drafted Emmanuel Mudiay (ankle) you play a man short until he returns. In DFS, his temporary replacement Jameer Nelson $4200 could pay off handsomely. [Read more…]
We’re a quarter of the way through the regular season and the NBA landscape has shifted dramatically. Kobe Bryant is retiring after this season and wants to be remembered as a “talented overachiever” when it’s all said and done. Meanwhile, Bryant’s Los Angeles Lakers (3-15) trail only the Philadelphia 76ers (1-19) for the league’s worst record. With every loss, the Lakers grow closer to keeping their top-three protected draft pick and potentially land top prospect Ben Simmons. On the flip side, the Golden
