Stat’s All Folks: Substitute Teacher
Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: Disses, H2H, Injuries, Props, Rookies, Roto, Site Features, Talent,
Stat’s All Folks will be a week-to-week stock market look at the standard cumulative categories – points, assists, rebounds, three-pointers made, steals, and blocks. I’ll be calling out the “bulls” and “bears” in each category, in order to help you assess your portfolio of players on your fantasy basketball team(s) and whether you should sell, hold, and/or diversify your assets.
Note that you won’t always see the superstar player written about in this column, otherwise it would be LeBron James or Steve Nash every week. So, check out who’s bullish and who’s bearish coming into the week.
Statistics are from January 15th – January 21st.
It is a pleasure to sub in for Dennis this week. Let us get right to it!
POINTS
BULLISH
Dwyane Wade, PG/SG, Miami Heat
Last Week’s Numbers of Note: 4 G; 31.8 PPG; 49.0 FG%; 77.5 FT%
Wade missed four games around the holidays but has come back logging big minutes and posting even bigger numbers. Last week Wade scored 30 or more points in three of four contests. The beauty in his game lies not only in his points production, but in his around game; he also averaged almost eight assists and three steals last week. Wade drained two three-pointers over the four games, which is below average for a fantasy guard, but at least he still provides a little help to your team there.

Wire to Wire: 1.25.07
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Free Agency, H2H, Roto, Site Features, Sleepers, Waiver Pick Ups,
Last week proved to be a solid week to hit up your waiver wires, as we’ve seen an increase in play from David West, Troy Murphy, and Stephen Jackson. While last week’s article focused primarily on the trade between the Warriors and Pacers, this week takes a different turn and mentions several players from the same team – the Boston Celtics. It’s getting ugly in Beantown, as most fans can’t remember the last time their Celts have brought home a win. However, fantasy potential can be found underneath the current mess that is the Boston roster, and owners need to exploit these opportunities. Now, on to this week’s recommendations…

Stat’s All, Folks: Dirk Is Getting Dirrrrty!

POINTSBULLISH
Dirk Nowitzki, PF, Dallas Mavericks
Last Week’s Numbers of Note: 4 G; 34.5 PPG; 51.6 FG%; 87.5 FT%
How does Nowitzki come back from a poor 11-point performance against the less than impressive Portland Trailblazers? Score a season-high 43 points the next game and continue to hang points on the opposition in the next three games, which Dirk did in the past week. Not only has he been impressive shooting the ball, but rebounding it as well averaging 10.8 glass cleaning in the same period. Nowitzki is going good right now in all facets of his game, which is helping his stroke. Obviously, don’t ever worry about low-scoring performances from Dirk (did you know he had two games where he only scored six points!) because he isn’t an elite fantasy player for nothing and will definitely come back strong.

Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Free Agency, H2H, Roto, Site Features, Sleepers, Waiver Pick Ups,
Wire to Wire aims to be your waiver wire resource for all of your fantasy basketball needs. It will dive into playing time trends, injury replacements, and even an occasional category specialist – all of which can be found on a typical waiver wire within your fantasy league at any given time.
With the recent eight-man deal that has been completed by the Indiana Pacers and Golden State Warriors, several players have seen an increase or decrease in value. We’re also starting to see some of the injured stars make their way back to their respective practice floors, soon to be found in a game near you! This week’s Wire to Wire will break down the return of a few of those stars, the recent trade, and which players involved can be found on waiver wires across the fantasy hoops universe. Let’s dig in…
(Note: I’ve been having some internet issues lately, so for the sake of time, we’re going to get right in to this week’s recommendations. I apologize for the inconvenience!)
