Injury Bug Bites, And It Hurts
Posted by Brandon Haraway Categories: Injuries, Waiver Pick Ups, Philadelphia 76ers, Toronto Raptors, Milwaukee Bucks, Orlando Magic, New Orleans Hornets, Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Lakers
It’s that time of year again! No, not Single’s Awareness Day. No, not the All-Star Break. It’s that magical time that inevitable occurs every year when seemingly every relevant baller gets hurt. It’s here in full effect, and let me tell ya, it sucks. Here we go again…
Elton Brand
This just broke this afternoon. This morning, it was a day-to-day sprained shoulder. Now, it’s season-ending surgery. Sweeeeet. Yesterday ESPN reported that an MRI showed it was healing, too. So who steps up? Reggie Evans baby. He’s long been a favorite of mine in fantasy, and with even 25 minutes we could see double digit rebounds often. Go grab him now before everyone else catches on. Marreese Speights should get a little extra burn too, and could be worth a look if you’re desperate. Brand is probably safe to cut, but it might be smart to wait another day or two to make sure this is all definite.
Catch the rest of the recent injuries after the jump!
The Fig Cap: Yeah… how’s that working out for ya?

Dropping Dimes Mock Draft: Round 3, Pick 6 - Andrew Bynum
Posted by Brandon Haraway Categories: H2H, Pacific Division, Los Angeles Lakers, Roto, Site Features, Talent
Had Andrew Bynum been healthy all of last year, we may have a different World Champion team. There’s no doubt the Lakeshow missed his 2 blocks, almost 2 dimes, and more importantly, his 10 rebounds per and that huge inside presence. But that’s spilled milk. Most sites have Bynum ranked at about the 10th best center, and he’s the ninth taken in our draft. Check out why after the jump…

Wire to Wire - 01.15.08
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Free Agency, H2H, Roto, Site Features, 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.
We may as well cut to the chase this week, as owners everywhere are scrambling to cover their losses as Los Angeles Lakers big man Andrew Bynum will miss considerable time with a knee injury. Last week, Bynum continued to be one of the biggest surprises in the fantasy game. This week, he’s relegated to taking up a slot on the end of a bench because you simply cannot drop a player of his caliber. We’ll explore options for owners in all formats, and even sprinkle in a few other names for good measure.

Beyond the Arc: Week 12
Posted by Brandon Haraway Categories: Disses, Editorial, H2H, Injuries, News, Props, Roto, Waiver Pick Ups
I dunno if anyone’s been following REAL basketball (I know, I know, we aren’t supposed to care about that) but maybe you should take a look at the standings. Some weird stuff is going on. Washington a four seed? What? Portland a three seed? Utah and Houston out of the playoffs? I know it’s early, but wow. Nobody called that in September and October. But good for those up and coming teams (although I’m not so sure you can call the Wizards that).
Anyways, I’m done ranting, here’s the slate of games for next week: (1/14-1/20)

Not too many games to choose from last night, but plenty of fantasy production went down - mostly before a National audience on TNT. Let’s stay strong and finish up the last weekday of the month…
The Fig Cap: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Dropping Dimes on the Daily – November 25, 2007
Posted by Matt Satten Categories: Editorial, Injuries, Props, Rookies, Roto, Site Features, Waiver Pick Ups
Despite the Raptors/Pistons game starting in the middle of the day, the moon was shining brightly. Jamario Moon that is. In case you’re late to the Moon party, the undrafted 27-year-old rookie has started the Raptors last eight games at small forward and his athletic play is getting him noticed. Yesterday, the 6-8 forward erupted for the best line of his brief NBA career with 15 points, 9 boards, 3 steals and 6 blocks in the matinee victory. More info abou this Good Moon Rising after the jump.
The Fig Cap: His vertical leap is beyond all measurement. Don’t question it!

Dropping Dimes on the Daily—November 19, 2007
Posted by Matt Satten Categories: Editorial, Injuries, Props, Roto, Site Features
In the middle of last season, a new sheriff came to town and a new way of life was established in the East Bay. One of his past transgressions caught up to him and for that he had to endure his punishment. After seemingly a lifetime of exile (actual time missed: 7 games), the enigmatic Warrior returned to battle with designs for glory. With Golden State’s season spiraling out of control already, this savior’s return couldn’t have come at a more perfect time.
The Fig Cap: I’m only going to tell you this once
