Fantasy Basketball Daily Pre-Game Report for Tuesday, February 28
Feb 28, 2012 Blog
Hope you guys enjoyed the All-Star break, I certainly did. It’s a 33 game sprint to the playoffs and only about a month until fantasy basketball playoffs start, so it’s time to make up ground if you are sitting on the playoff bubble.
I’ll be posting on most weekdays throughout March, but I’ll be switching over to baseball on opening day. I’ll probably only be posting once or twice a week in April.
Tuesday’s Fantasy Basketball Daily Tournament Schedule:
Also, don’t forget about the ProfanitySports.com Win A Trip to the ESPYs contest that starts today. You can sign up for that one by CLICKING HERE. I posted a detailed description of the contest yesterday that you can review here.

In addition to those 21 winners, there will be 9 additional winners that will gain entry to the Grand Prize Contest by capturing one of the top three spots in each of the three Large Field Survivor Contests that Profanity will run during the seven week contest.

All-Star Week Posting Schedule
Feb 19, 2012 Blog
We’re going on three months of daily posting on fantasy basketball and honestly guys I need a little bit of a break. I can feel myself getting burned out and in need of a battery recharge.
I’ve decided to take this entire week off, as well as the all-star break itself. I’ll be back fully energized next Tuesday, February 28th for the second half of the season! I hope you guys have a great week and enjoy the all-star game festivities! See you next week.

Friday’s NBA Schedule, Probable Starting Lineups, Lines, Injuries and Tournament Picks
Charlotte @ Toronto (-7) 183.5 Total
CHA: K. Walker, R. Williams, C. Maggette, B. Diaw, B. Biyombo
TOR: J. Calderon, D. DeRozan, J. Johnson, A. Johnson, A. Gray
- DJ Augustin is slowly working himself back into game shape after missing time with a foot injury. He should be back to full speed just after the all-star break. It will be interesting to see how the Bobcats divide the minutes now between Augustin and Kemba Walker.
- Jerryd Bayless is probable, but I’d avoid him until the ankle injury heals completely.
- Linas Kleiza is out.
- Daily Fantasy Tournament Value Pick: Kemba Walker
Milwaukee @ Orlando (-7.5) 192 Total
MIL: B. Jennings, S. Livingston, C. Delfino, E. Ilyasova, J. Leuer
ORL: J. Nelson, J. Richardson, H. Turkoglu, R. Anderson, D. Howard
- Drew Gooden is out. John Leuer will get the start.
- Dwight Howard should have a huge game with Gooden out.
- Jameer Nelson is playing well after missing a few games and I’ve seen him floating around on several waiver wires. He should probably be grabbed if you need assists.
- Stephen Jackson remains a huge daily risk. Just when you think he’s back getting a steady 3o minutes a night, he ends up stuck to the bench. Just hold him and hope for a trade.
- Ersan Ilyasova is getting a rare start, but he matchup isn’t very good.
- Daily Fantasy Tournament Value Pick: Dwight Howard
Sacramento @ Detroit (-3.5) 190.5 Total
SAC: T. Evans, M. Thornton, J. Salmons, J. Thompson, JJ Hickson
DET: B. Knight, R. Stuckey, T. Prince, G. Monroe, J. Maxiell
- Rodney Stuckey has really been heating up lately and should be played in daily games since his salary has dipped due to his mediocre early season.
- Stuckey breaking out isn’t going to help the fantasy value of Brandon Knight. He’s slumping right now and you have to wonder if it’s the old rookie wall.
- DeMarcus Cousins is out. JJ Hickson should pickup the start. Chuck Hayes will have to put in some extra minutes also.
- Daily Fantasy Tournament Value Picks: Greg Monroe, Rodney Stuckey
Miami (-9.5) @ Cleveland 199 Total
MIA: N. Cole, D. Wade, L. James, C. Bosh, J. Anthony
CLE: K. Irving, A. Gee, O. Casspi, A. Jamison, S. Erden
- Anderson Varejao is out 4-6 weeks with a wrist injury. Semih Erden will start and Tristan Thompson will also see an increase in minutes. Neither player is very attractive in daily games right now.
- Mario Chalmers made it through practice Thursday and is probable. Norris Cole would get the start if Chalmers can’t go.
- Kyrie Irving is looking good in his return from a concussion and looks safe to use again in daily games.
- Anthony Parker is out. Alonzo Gee should get the start.
- Daniel Gibson is doubtful.
- Daily Fantasy Tournament Value Pick: Kyrie Irving
- Daily Fantasy Tournament Sleeper Pick: Semih Erden
Dallas @ Philadelphia (-3) 179.5 Total
DAL: J. Kidd, V. Carter, S. Marion, D. Nowitzki, B. Haywood
PHI: J. Holiday, J. Meeks, A. Iguodala, E. Brand, N. Vucevic
- Delonte West is out until mid-March with a finger injury. Jason Terry and Vince Carter will have to pick up the slack.
- Jason Terry is out Friday.
- Roddy Beaubois is out.
- Spencer Hawes is out.
- Daily Fantasy Tournament Value Pick: Vince Carter
