Hey!  Over here!  Remember me!?  I’m the NBA!! 

With all of March Madness sweeping the spotlight away from the NBA over the next few weeks, fantasy owners would be wise to catch their opponents sleeping at the wheel and pick up all of the goods.  While the “clearance rack” may be a bit picked over at this time of year, I think there are a few guys that could help you make that last push you need to see some fantasy post season.  On to this week’s recommendations…

Unfortunately my original post yesterday was lost as our servers were being moved. I want to give thanks to Mike Slane of Elevation Mag where our daily work also appears. They were able to post yesterday’s work while our article was still up. It’s a day late, but perhaps the info might still be of value to you fantasy hounds.

The picture has been lost in the transfer…it was Steve Nash driving against Dirk Nowitzki, with the Fig Cap, “So you want to be MVP, do you?

Sorry for the mix-up. This week rather than attempt to drop a rhyme summarizing the box scores, there was such a fantasy hoops bonanza on Wednesday night, that I listed 25 note-worthy stat-lines.

.Dwyane Wade down Last week’s Dime Day summarized each NBA team’s playoff schedule as fantasy owners prepare for the fantasy post-season. This week, the head-to-head format itself is placed under the microscope. Roto lovers always point to the “luck factor” in h2h leagues as a negative. For example, perhaps your masterpiece of a roster was led by Dwyane Wade, as awesome a player as there is playing in the league today. Well, you are in tough now, aren’t you? A second half injury can chop down your first half success so fast. Yet nothing beats the week to week match-ups and the competition that thrives with this action.
