Please rank order and comment on the following guards: - Rubio (Minn) - Lowry (Tor) - Wall (Wash) - Calderon (Det) - Collison (Dal) Thanks.
I'm assuming you are looking for rank for next year since the fantasy season is almost over. 1. Rubio - already elite in steals and should rack of more assists with Kevin Love back. Won't be a 20+ a game scorer like Wall but should contribute in more categories. 2. Wall - has been a beast recently and his jumper has improved. Should be solid next year for points, FT% and assists. Put him a notch below Rubio because the steals and 3's aren't consistent. 3. Lowry - I thought he would explode after Calderon was traded but it didn't happen. He is still one of the best rebounding guards in the league and can contribute in multiple categories (points, boards, assists, steals and 3's) 4. Calderon - depends on if he stays in DET (he is a free agent this summer). Should be solid for 3's and assists wherever he goes if he is the clear cut starter. 5. Collison - it's never a good sign when you lose your starting job to a journeyman like Mike James. Good luck, Eric
1 place in league , i can pick up vucevic who i recently dropped to grab henderson. If i pick up vucevic do i drop majo who plays twice for me tuesday and thursday and i need players those games or drop J Lin who prob wont play for me in next 2 weeks. I m just worried lin will play against me and hurt me same with vucevic. I update my lineup every day . In other league should i pick up Irving will he play this upcoming week
Definitely pick up Irving. He came back last night and should be solid for the next two weeks. I would pick up Vucevic and drop Mayo. Mayo is dealing with a shoulder injury and his numbers have been awful recently. Vucevic is a much safer play than Mayo for the next two weeks. Good luck, Eric
Small league only 8 teams I am top seed . We start 7 players , 1 at each position and 2 utility. Update team every day. Should I pick up Reggie Evans or Spencer Hawes and drop either Dragic, Lin, Oj Mayo or Ray Felton. My team PG Lillard Wall Lin Felton SG Kobe Ellis Henderson SF Thad Young, Melo , Josh Smith PF / C Blake Grifin, Hortford, Zach Randolph Larry Sanders
I would drop Mayo and pick up Hawes. Mayo is averaging 9.4 points on 41% shooting from the field and just had an MRI on his shoulder. He might miss some games or continue to under-perform. Hawes has been a beast recently and should be a solid pick up. I would also think about dropping Dragic if Lindsay Hunter continues to rest him. The Suns play tomorrow so hopefully Dragic will be in the lineup. Good luck, Eric
Pick Up Parker And Drop Vazquez? They both have injuries and I'm also taking in the Popavich Factor?
I would make that move. Vazquez is out with an ankle injury and Parker should be solid next week (San Antonio play four times next week). The Popovich factor is always out there but Parker is worth the risk. If you don't feel comfortable with Parker, you can always pick up Brian Roberts. He should be a decent play with Vasquez out. Good luck, Eric
I should win my 1st playoff game this week.My championship match will start Monday. I would like to strengthen up 2 spots which I think are weak.Kyle Lowry and Amir Johnson.Who do you like best for these 2 guys spots from these free agents?Jeff Green,Drummond,Ariza,Reggie Evans,Tobias Harris,O'Quinn.I think Jeff Green is a no brainer?36-35 fantasy points last 2 games.I think my playoffs will be done by the time Garnett comes back.If Drummond starts, he's probably the other add? What do you think?Total Fantasy Points only match.Thanks.
I would definitely pick up Green - he should be a solid play as long as KG is out. For the 2nd guy, I would go with Tobias Harris. He's been solid for fantasy points recently and should continue to get as many minutes as he can handle. Drummond has nice upside, but I wouldn't roll the dice on him since there are other decent options out there. Both Boston and Orlando play four times next week. Good luck, Eric
I'm in a 12 team h2h points league counting 9 categories. Who do you think is the best option to capitalize on due to Metta World Peace's injury, Meeks, Jamison, or Clark?
All three will get extra minutes but Meeks could be the biggest beneficiary if he starts at shooting guard. He would be the guy that I would target. Clark is still likely to come off the bench and back up Gasol at PF. Jamison is dealing with a sore wrist and will back up Kobe at SF. Good luck, Eric
Tomorrow is one of those hard days... need to optimize, trying to chase numbers in all cats 3s/assists rebs/blks... daily changes H2H playoff (10 category / 11 active roster spots). please pick 4 of the following 8 players: Hansbrough P Gasol Udrih evan turner d wilkins favors (V. Phoenix?) meeks m thornton locked in are: 1. J teague 2. Mo williams 3. Mike Conley 4. Aldridge 5. Ilyasova 6. Hickson 7. Pekovic (v lakers?)
I think the 8 you have locked in looked good. For the other four, I would go with: 1. Gasol - hasn't been playing great since returning from injury but should be decent for boards and blocks. 2. Meeks - worth taking a gamble on since you need 3's. I read that he might start at SG (Kobe starts at SF) with Metta World Peace out. 3. Favors- gotta feeling that this could be a blowout which means more time for Favors. Should be decent for boards and blocks. 4. Hansbrough - only if West is out. If West is playing, I would go with Thornton. He's averaging almost two threes a game over his last five games. Normally, I would suggest playing Turner but he can't be trusted right now. Good luck, Eric
