With bye weeks quickly starting to kick in, the minimal amount of solid running backs will continue to dwindle as the weeks roll on. With Week 6 and Week 7 introducing fantasy football owners to perhaps the toughest portion of the season due to these early bye weeks with running backs still trying to hit […]

It can be argued that finding additional help at the wide receiver position is the easiest as a fantasy football manager as the volume at wide out position just can’t be matched.

Now competing in a revamped and far superior Eastern Conference, the Hornets will have some big challenges […]

The Charlotte Hornets are set to face off against the Indiana Pacers in their season debut on October 20. The Pacers eliminated the Hornets in the play-in tournament last season.

PLAYA VISTA – When the LA Clippers traded away guard Patrick Beverley, they didn’t just lose another role player. Beverley’s roles as lockdown defender, knock-down shooter, and number one hype man are all facets that could be found in other players, to a lesser extent. The toughest part about Beverley’s game and personality to replace […]

Candidacy for individual awards couldn’t be further from the Portland Trail Blazers’ minds as they prepare to host the Sacramento Kings.

Somehow, some way we are already heading into Week 7 of the NFL season, meaning that you have had six weeks to understand what kind of fantasy football roster you have and what your weak spots are. Week 6 opened up plenty of opportunities for potential waiver wire pickups, which is where the upcoming list […]

The only time the Indiana Pacers made the headlines in the offseason was when they named Rick Carlisle as their new coach. It’s an unfortunate reality, given that the franchise is loaded with talented players in Caris LeVert, Domantas Sabonis, Malcolm Brogdon, TJ Warren, and Myles Turner.

Damian Lillard and Chauncey Billups don’t care about results in the preseason. That opinion is a convenient one for the franchise player and rookie head coach of a team that went winless in exhibition play, losing four games by a combined 95 points—and all of them by at least 14. Lillard and Billups weren’t lying, […]

Nets head coach Steve Nash probably had a sense of how his early-season rotation might have looked one month ago. It’s probably a lot different today. The team is slight favorites in the season opener against the Bucks, despite playing on the road. They’re still finals favorites despite the latest news on Kyrie Irving not […]

After a spectacular 2021 postseason, Paul George and Tyronn Lue will lead the LA Clippers into the 2021-22 campaign without the services of Kawhi Leonard.

The 2021-22 NBA season will be a tricky course to navigate for the Denver Nuggets.
