Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for this Week’s Fantasy Basketball Playoffs
Mar 25, 2012 Blog
Just about every league I’m in is starting the playoffs this week, and if you need a little help, the following list of players might fill some holes in your roster for the stretch run. These guys aren’t stars and most of the time they’ll have mediocre nights, but if you’re in a daily transaction league and need to gamble on a big fantasy playoff performance, these guys are solid bets for some big numbers this week.
Point Guard
CJ Watson (CHI) – If the Bulls continue to hold Derrick Rose out with his groin injury, Watson is a must play in leagues that allow daily transactions. He’s had some solid games in Rose’s absence and can put up decent points, assists and steals.

New Posting Schedule for the Fantasy Basketball Playoffs
Mar 17, 2012 Blog
Baseball season is almost here and my posting at Fantasy Basketball Daily will now only consist of fantasy basketball playoff advice a couple of times a week for the rest of the regular season. I got out of the flow by missing last week and I’ve got to miss a few days this week too, so I figure it’s best to move to weekly playoff advice now since I was going to scale back posting anyway once opening day of baseball season got here.
I’ll also be maintaining the blog and putting up weekly posts in the offseason about the NBA draft, trades, starting position battles, etc., so keep me in your favorites tab!
I’ve enjoyed posting the Pre-Game report for all the daily fantasy cash game players out there and I hope you guys have a great remainder of the season. Don’t forget that all the daily sites like Fanduel, Daily Joust and DraftStreet will be having daily fantasy baseball cash games and tournaments, so definitely check them out! I’ll be playing daily, so say hello if you see me around the chatrooms.
Good luck the rest of the season and I’ll hit you guys up with some fantasy basketball playoff advice later this week.

No report tonight guys. I’m not playing any daily cash games with the trade deadline approaching. It never fails that I always seem to have a traded player in my lineup and get crushed in daily cash games because of it. No cash games for me tonight. See you tomorrow.
