Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday. Not much NBA news over the break, but the games go on so here’s some fantasy reading before the NFL gets started today:
- Daily Fantasy Recap from GiveMeTheRock.com.
- Fantasy: Stock Up/Stock Down report from HoopsWorld.com.
- Fantasy Basketball Boxscore Breakouts. [LestersLegends.com]
- Waiver Wire help determined by category. [LestersLegends.com]
- Not really basketball related, but if you have been playing fantasy sports for 20 years, this article from Rotosynthesis rings very true. There are no more sleeperss in the world of fantasy sports.
- Rumors are out that Larry Frank may be gone as coach of the New Jersey Nets. Player values can often change along with a coaching change. Courtney Lee is the most interesting of the speculative picks in this situation. Give him a shot if you have a bench spot. Terrence Williams and Chris Douglas-Roberts’ value could also fluctuate. Brook Lopez and Devin Harris are still valuable no matter what system is implemented.
- Allen Iverson could end up starting for Philadelphia. It would probably be nothing more than an attempt by a bad Philly team to sell some tickets, just as it was in Memphis.
- Michael Redd is still having problems with his knee. He missed Saturday night and the status of his next start is in unclear.
- Kirk Hinrich is doubtful for Monday due to a sore thumb. [Sporting News]
- Congrats to all the guys who bought low on Carlos Boozer. I tried in a few leagues, but wasn’t able to snag him.
- Nice to see Delonte West with a good game last night, 10 points, 10 assists. Hopefully, he is getting things back under control.
- Andrei Kirilenko (back) and Paul Millsap (knee) are both dealing with injuries so be careful starting them. [DeseretNews.com]
- Detailed injury progress reports on Ben Gordon, Richard Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince from MLive.com.
- Nola.com takes a look at David West’s performance so far this season.
- Chris Duhon suffered an ankle injury on Friday, but will still hold onto the starting PG job over Nate Robinson. Not sure how long he can hold off Robinson. If Robinson wasn’t in D’Antoni’s doghouse, I imagine the change might have already been made.
- Ray Allen’s son is dealing with some health issues related to his diabetes, but it shouldn’t cause Allen to miss any games. Just check it each night to make sure an emergency hasn’t happened requiring Allen to fly back to check on his son. Best wishes on a speedy recovery to the little one.
