The Wire Troll: Gambling on Luke Kennard

/ Basketball, Brett Hamlyn, The Wire Troll

At 34, J.J.’s still got it. Some recent minor groin issues kept Barea out of the lineup briefly, but he’s made a quick recovery and has been cleared to play since Wednesday. In first game back, he managed 18 points to go along with seven assists off the bench against the Nets. Averaging 15.5 points and five assists over his last four games, Barea is playing better than a large portion of PGs that are owned in all standard leagues. He may not be able to maintain this level of play for long, but it’s time to find some good times with J.J.

The Wire Troll: Pavel Zacha Powers Past Slump

/ Hockey, The Wire Troll

Schlemenko missed the first few weeks of the season with a knee injury, but has stepped right into major minutes upon his return two weeks ago. Okay, so he’s not exactly the most skilled or fastest defenseman on the Habs, but he did log a team-high 30 shifts on Friday, picking up an assist (on the PP), three shots, four blocks and a pair of minor penalties. You won’t ever get much offense from a generally bottom-pairing defender like Schlemko, but he’s averaging around two and a half blocks and one and a half hits per game, and that has value.

Video Game Review: Battlefield V

/ Video Game Reviews

It’s a good, not great, selection of modes spread across a modest total of eight maps, though they’re fairly diverse and grand in scale. What makes Battlefield V work so well is the crispness of its gameplay, which often creates a frenetic pace and awesome moments where you and a dozen others are charging through destroyed buildings to try and capture a location from the enemy.

The Wire Troll: Bogdan is the Newest Bogdanovic

/ Basketball, Brett Hamlyn, The Wire Troll

As arguably the best player on his team, this might be your top potential pick up of the year… just kidding. With all the star power in Oakland, Iggy is still gettin’ his. He will hold more value in category leagues as a consistent two way player that provides some across the board production. Don’t expect Iguodala’s numbers to go through the roof. But, at the same time, don’t turn a blind eye to his value based on who he plays with.

The Wire Troll: Joel Edmundson Offering Across the Board Help

/ Hockey, The Wire Troll

Komarov seems to have rediscovered his game since signing a four-year deal with the Isles last summer. On Thursday, he ripped a goal (the game-winner, to boot) and an assist, while recording a +3 with a pair of blocks and five hits. You’ve got to love that physicality! On Tuesday, he dished out another four hits with an assist and he’s on pace to match his personal best with 36 points.
