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.
Another week in the books. Milwaukee’s Michael Redd is the latest big name to go down, and boy did he ever. Four to six weeks is far from a short-term loss for owners, especially if those owners also have Josh Smith and Rashard Lewis (frantically waiving hand in the air). But, hey…that’s what the waiver is for! I’m aiming just to get myself to the All-Star break. I think we can make it. First, let’s see how we did last week…

Dropping Dimes Week Eleven Position Rankings
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: H2H, Props, Roto, Site Features, Talent,
The new year has come and it’s about that time to seriously assess your team going forward. If you’re in the upper tier of your league, you’ll need to make sure you duplicate your efforts in 2007. If you’re in the lower rungs of your league, it’s time to get busy and make some moves to get you into the playoffs because that’s what it’s all about. Just get there! Everything else will work itself out.
And, yes, I KNOW about all the injuries to superstars such as Yao Ming, Chris Paul, Paul Pierce, et al. I’m playing a violin for you. Just be quick to pick up their replacements if you think they can make an impact. Dikembe Mutombo, Jannero Pargo, Tony Allen, and Gerald Green have upped their fantasy values significantly for the aforementioned injured players. So, what else to do? Well, obviously, read Sarge’s The Weekly Focus exclusively on HoopsHype.com and Wire to Wire on here and SI.com. It helps… it really helps!
Oh, and pay attention to what you’re about to read… our position rankings for the upcoming week! Note that the number in parentheses is the average position between those who chose - Sarge, Big Ron Stud, and myself. Enjoy and be enlightened!
Teams and Number of Games for the Week:
Atlanta Hawks - 3; Boston Celtics - 3; Charlotte Bobcats - 3; Chicago Bulls - 4; Cleveland Cavaliers - 3; Dallas Mavericks - 4; Denver Nuggets - 4; Detroit Pistons - 4; Golden State Warriors - 2; Houston Rockets - 4; Indiana Pacers - 3; Los Angeles Clippers - 3; Los Angeles Lakers - 3; Memphis Grizzlies - 3; Miami Heat - 3; Milwaukee Bucks - 4; Minnesota Timberwolves - 3; New Jersey Nets - 3; New Orleans Hornets - 4; New York Knicks - 2; Orlando Magic - 3; Philadelphia 76ers - 4; Phoenix Suns - 3; Portland Trail Blazers - 4; Sacramento Kings - 3; San Antonio Spurs - 3; Seattle Supersonics - 3; Toronto Raptors - 4; Utah Jazz - 3; Washington Wizards – 3

Stat’s All Folks: T-Mac Is Back!
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Atlantic Division, Central Division, H2H, Northwest Division, Pacific Division, Props, Roto, Site Features, Southeast Division, Southwest Division, Talent, Waiver Pick Ups,
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 December 28th – January 3rd.
POINTSBULLISH
Tracy McGrady, SG/SF, Houston Rockets
Last Week’s Numbers of Note: 3 G; 33.3 PPG; 56.5 FG%; 55.6 FT%
In the past week, McGrady has been playing like the T-Mac of old and not like an old T-Mac. In each of his three games, McGrady has scored 31, 38, and 31 points, respectively. And it hasn’t even been a fluke sort of deal where he just jacked up forty or more shots to get his points. Look at the field goal percentage above too. Taking 23 shot attempts per game on average is a lot, but again, look at that percentage from the floor! No wonder McGrady’s been scoring so much and it speaks well for his health as well, being able to hit that many baskets at a high rate. I won’t declare him “back” because of the lingering prospect of back spasms that sidelined T-Mac earlier this season, so throw out some feeler deals for more durable players. Otherwise, hold T-Mac and hope he stays healthy.

The holidays have come and gone, but the NBA continues to keep rolling. From buzzer-beaters by Leandro Barbosa to Kevin Garnett going off with the old style ball, basketball addicts have had plenty to keep them busy during the time of season that is saturated by NFL “what if” scenarios and college football bowl games.
The last edition of Wire to Wire was nearly created by chance more than choice due to all the huge injuries that had occurred. This week should prove to be a little different, but first, let’s check out last week’s recommendations…
