2014-15 Fantasy Basketball Deep Sleepers

June 28, 2014 / Basketball, J.R. Anderson, Sleepers

As we’re writing this, we are pretty sure Kris Humphries is still herpes free. Pretty good news for him, but even better news is after finally getting some run in Boston he has proved once again that he can rebound! More than likely Humphries will land on a team in need of frontcourt depth like San Antonio or Chicago, but if he is to be truly Fantasy-relevant, he needs big minutes. His best per 36 numbers came during his time in New Jersey — 13.3 PPG, 12 RPG, along with a solid 48 per cent shooting from the field and a combined steals/blocks per game of 2.0. You could do a lot worse in the latter rounds of your draft.

March 2, 2009 / Basketball, The Wire Troll

Joel Przybilla has thrived with yet another lingering injury to Greg Oden. Centres Kendrick Perkins, Boston Celtics: With Kevin Garnett out of action, Perkins has a chance to elevate his production, though that hasn’t really happened yet.

While the Chicago Bulls have ridden a better offense to slight improvements over last season, they have failed to garner any real momentum this season. In fact, judging by their month-by-month record (1-1 in October, 7-8 in November, 6-9 in December,

NBA Daily Dose: Double Triple-Double

April 8, 2007 / Basketball, NBA Daily Dose

Rookie Allan Ray is looking very strong in the absence of Delonte West. Everyone is rather used to seeing Jason Kidd rack up a triple-double, so when he did it last night, it was no biggie. But when Vince Carter joined him in the feat, the two became the first teammates to do so in

Nets Throw Uncle Cliffy a Bone

January 7, 2007 / Basketball

Even old people need excitement. Hell, there’s a whole industry (Cialis, Viagra, etc.) devoted to this concept. So imagine how stoked Clifford Robinson was when he returned from knee surgery this week to find that his New Jersey Nets had added a new component to their in-game entertainment package. Robinson, at 40 the NBA’s senior

Courtside: Raptors-Nets Report

November 2, 2006 / Courtside

And we’re off. After the hype and excitement of a 7-1 preseason, the Raptors’ 2006-07 season got underway for real last night in New Jersey. While the false start — a 102-92 loss to the Nets — was disappointing, there is so much optimism that this club could potentially be playoff-bound this season, that one

August 11, 2006 / Basketball, Three in the Key

We’re well into the offseason now, but believe it or not, just over seven weeks remain until players report to training camp. However, the next big thing on the basketball landscape is the 2006 FIBA Men’s World Championship, starting August 19 in Japan. The rosters are littered with NBA players and, as recent years have proved, the competition is more wide open than ever.
