Fantasy Basketball Advice Thread

Freaking Aldridge went off on my team.

 

all players OTB

 

Alexey Shved worth it at this point?

I can't stand David West only getting me 15-20 fantasy points a night. SMFH.

 

If fg% is no big concern for you, Shved is absolutely worth picking up. Racking up the stat sheeț in all major categories.

 

Aldridge needs to stop blowing up

 

Dat moment when you bench Marcus Smart and he posts 25pts, 9reb, 5ast, 2blk, 2stl along with seven 3s and 62.5 fg%.

At least Covington made up for it with a monster 1-6 fg performance.

*runs away crying*

 

Zaza going nuts.

 

opponent's stat line. some bullschits

 

Shame on you for not expecting a 22/21/7 from Pachulia, you don't know your basketball.

 

So I survived the unusual outburst last week.
Here's this week matchup.


Any tips?

 

I'm about to be in the final for next week! I could really use some ASAP!

Picked up Shrode, dropped Shved.

Whiteside is on the Waiver wire. Dunno if he's out for next week...Anyone with an idea? Dude I'm playing is making moves left and right (picking up Air Bud, Morris, and Ish Smith) and I'm about to be in panic mode for waiting

Thinking about picking up Joe Johnson and/or CJ Watson. Bogut is another person I'm considering. As mentioned earlier, Whiteside is on the waiver wire. Might risk it?

Any pointers or help??? Yung-T?

 

Whiteside had a laceration on his right hand, it's not yet known how much time he'll miss. He's officially rated questionable for today, which makes me think he'll at least play games next week. The gamble could be worth it.

I'd not pick up Bogut, as he has many of those 5pt, 7reb, 1ast, 1stl, 1blk games which are not really worth anything. Plus Warriors might rest some guys before the playoffs.

CJ and Joe had some good games in the last weeks, but are a bit inconsistent. If you pick one of them up, it should be Johnson, as Watson's points have come in limuted minutes and weren't the norm. Johnson is averaging heavy minutes and will most nights give you more consistent production and rebounding. Can also expect a better fg%.

 

Welp, no championship game for me.

Whiteside got injured at the wrong time and so did DoMo.

 

Fantasy basketball makes you realize how often players get injured, it's ridiculous. League should definitely shorten the season, the trend is alarming.

 

And Ed Davis decided to rest. Ed effin Davis.

 

Resting for their 2025 championship run.

 

Joe with a great game, hope Stig picked the breh up.

 

Thanks Yung-T, I did end up going with JJ just because he has 4 games this week and Watson playing <30 mins a night is a no no.

I got Lillard, PJ Tucker, Shroder, JJohnson, Lebron, Favors, Al Jefferson, Ed Davis, Reggie Jackson, E Gordon, Covington, Lawson, and Vucevic going into the final week.

Waiver wire Hassan for Ed Davis, so hopefully this will work. Tyson Chandler is a FA. Is he worth picking up?

 

Wouldn't dump one of your guys for Chandler, except for maybe Davis.

 

If I don't get Whiteside from the waiver wire, I'm probably going to dump Davis for Chandler. Davis is kind of inconsistent and his limited playing time is a hurting his value.

Eric Gordon has disappeared last week. Should I be worried about his slump at all?
