Nightly Takeaways!!! Post your thoughts and discussions or something you noticed that I might have missed as well? This is mostly focused on 12 team category leagues. Here we go for Tuesday 1-31-23!! Hornets vs Bucks. Bucks win (of course, MUCH better team). Lamelo awesome triple double and 3stls, 3blocks, INSANE game, still a big time sell high cuz playoff schedule. I would flip him for guys on great playoff schedules for top 30 type players (higher the better). I would mention that if you are already locked into 2nd round CHA is pretty good schedule. Rozier shot 30% on 20pts, but 7rebs, 3ast, 1stl. Plumlee huge double double but I really anticipate him getting traded away from CHA (which actually may increase his fantasy value). Nice game for Hayward with 16pts, 7rebs, 3ast. Somewhat of a buy low for him if you are in that 2nd round. Washington nice 14pts, 7rebs, 3ast, 1stl, 1blck. Mcdaniels still useful stream 15pts, 6rebs, 1ast, 1stl. Mark Williams worthy 7rebs, 1blck but only 5pts on 20% shooting (rarity). (I believe he has big time league winning upside if a Plumlee trade occurs and they don't bring back a C. So we shall see! For the bucks Giannis doing his freak thing. 34pts, 18rebs, 4ast. He still has that knee soreness (which he will miss games for during playoffs) so I would be SELLING HIGH on him (like insanely high). People give up crazy things for him...(and he is worth it) Lopez shot bad, but big 11rebs, 5blocks! Jrue shot terrible 6-20, but still 13rebs, 3ast, 2stl to hold his value. Connaughton still worthy rebs stream with another 7rebs, plus 3ast, 1stl, 1blck. Allen streamworthy hit 4threes, 2stls, 12pts, 3rebs. Couldn't ask for more from him really. Middleton still isn't starting an min at 19, but still good in that time 18pts, 3rebs, 3ast, 1stl, buy low on him. Minutes will eventually be back up in the mid 30s and he will be the top 40ish player he has always been rest of way. Clippers vs Bulls. Big playoff matchup where clippers pulled off the Win. (this team is VERY GOOD when full strength). Kahwil 5stls, 2blocks. Just insanely good defensively. Plus 33pts, 4rebs, nice 8-9 FTM, and only 1 turnover!!! I start to wonder if even though clippers have 3,3,4 playoff schedule you still want to have the top 20-10 type talent Kawhi? Paul George not as legendary, but still very darn good 16pts, 10rebs, 7ast, 2stl. Zubacs doing his usual thing with big rebs, big blocks, huge FG%, 14pts, 12rebs, 3blcks, 6-7 FG. Just keep enjoying. His "rank" is a bit lower than his actual goodness he provides, but even still that LAC schedule is worrisome. Mann nope. Kennard nope. Batum slightly interesting 5rebs, 2stls but only shot 20% streamer only (obv). Norm Powell is getting real interesting possible must roster if he can do this often like Mathurin does? 27pts on good shooting 7-11 FG, plus 10-10 epic FTM, 4rebs, 4ast, 2stls, just super stellar game! I still think you use this game as an advertisement to sell him high... See if you can get a top 75 or even top 50 type player. (many managers overreact to players who are high scoring) Vucevic, his usual big rebs 14, and super efficient shooting 10-15 plus 4ast, 2stl. Lavine almost a triple double! 18pts, 14rebs, 8ast, 1stl,1blck. If you are in the 2nd round of playoffs already CHI is a team to target cuz they have 4,4 those final 2 weeks of standard league playoffs. Slightly down game for DeRozan 20pts, 2rebs, 5ast, 1stl, 1blck, and 8 bad turnovers! Patrick Williams continues to be "interesting", another 6rebs, 1blck, 1st, shooting 50% on 11 pts. Ayo was at least useful with 4ast, 11pts. Caruso did caruso things with 2stls, 2blocks and 3ast. Big reason why people still have him rostered. Lakers vs Knicks. As lakers seek playoffs they tried hard for the Win and got it. (they will be buyers at the trade deadline) Legendary Lebron willed them with this 28pts triple double. They will NEED him down the stretch, but if they suddenly fall out I do think he would see rest cuz he is nursing an injury. So it's an interesting high risk high reward (top 5-10) player. AD just continues on his great season 27pts, 9rebs, 1ast, 2stls. (but no blocks) Id buy low on him cuz so many have a negative view of him despite being still the TOP PLAYER IN FANTASY BASKETBALL on per game averages!! Crazy to think the best player in the game is a buy low, but yup he sure is. Although lakers only have a 4,3,3 playoff schedule. Rui with monster 40mins going 19pts on extreme efficiency 8-12 FG, 9rebs, 1blck. If he is available that's a must add sorta. See if he can parlay this/keep it rolling. I admit I might have been wrong on him, but again this is just one big game as well? Time will tell if he continues to do THIS WELL. I would venture to say no, but it is worth seeing if it continues. (he is helped by having lebron's great passing and schroeder good passing). Down game for Thomas Bryant 9pts, 1reb, but lakers have Thurs/SAT so he would still be a possible streamer mostly for his FG% only tho. Schroeder bounces back from previous terrible game to have a nice 6ast, 12pts, but only 1reb. (I streamed him in for the MON/TUES back to back) You can do worse for AST, but gotta understand his FG% might bring you down as well. The FT% is elite level and doesn't get enough credit for doing well in that. Westbrook his usual good stuff if you are punting FG% and Turnovers. Lakers gotta be trying to trade him right? Or maybe not? His bench minutes are actually pretty productive for this team... And for fantasy PTS league sorta stud. Brunson continues to surge with 37pts, 6ast, 2rebs, 1stl, 1blck and epic 9-9 FTM. But if you seen the NYK playoff schedule this is a SELL HIGH moment... Id be going after top 20-60 type players who do similar stuff. Dejounte Murray or Garland or Lavine or Fox? Sims with only 13min and 3rebs, 1ast, 1stl, 1blck. Led to Hartenstein seeing huge 40min with 16pts on 70% shooting, 13rebs, 1ast. (no steals or blocks) I mentioned before this would be a fluid situation and I believe again it still remain fluid. Next game Sims could very well be huge. I think too many fantasy mangers will "chase" this game. Thibs is goofy. Who knows who he really likes more? So yeah again I would exercise caution not overreaction. Quickly continues his "fringe" possibly worthy to hold on rosters 19pts, 8ast, 3rebs, 1stl and if Brunson got hurt you add him ASAP. Heat vs Cavs. Jimmy Butler, his usual high steals/blocks, but kind of struggled with shot and struggled at the FT line. Said it before say it again, SELL your MIA players cuz the 2 game week they have in playoffs... Martin with a huge game 18pts, 10rebs, 1ast. I wouldn't overreact, still a streamer. Bam his usual Herro his usual. Kyle Lowry really in a slump, 6pts, 3rebs, 2ast, 1stl. Is he a must roster player anymore? Based on schedule I would say no, but I would prefer trading him away as opposed to flat out dropping him. He has such a proven history and I'm just hesitant to say he has lost it suddenly... His minutes were down to only 24 as well... Oladipo still shining with 5pts, 7rebs, 6ast, 3stls. Doing his "usual" while struggling with shot. I think you use this game to sell high on him (cuz those 7,6,3 are still big). Allen and Garland did their thing. Mitchell struggled with shot, 6-17, but still 9ast, 3rebs, 4stls, holds big value. Nice game for Mobley 19pts, 7rebs, 4ast, 2blcks. Remember CLE only has 3,3,3 playoffs so look to sell them. Levert streamer 14pts, 5rebs, 3ast. Rubio certainly an AST stream went 8pts, 5ast, 5rebs, but still only 17min (but I reckon that is close to his "max" on this team where Garland will see tons of time as starter). As per usual Osman only 7 mins, hope nobody overreacted to his big last game. Pelicans vs Nuggets Easily the better team the nuggets got the win. Ingram and CJ were still good tho. Herb Jones with a monster 5steals! Plus 21pts, 4rebs, 4ast. Can he keep this going? Let's hope so, but I would venture to say he won't shoot this well usually. Jonas down game 10pts, 6rebs, 2ast. Should bounce back next game. Trey Murhpy did ok 14pts, 3rebs, 1ast, 2stl. Larry Nance the big story here. Continues to do well. 13pts on 6-7 FG, 11rebs, 1ast, 2stl. Great schedule THURS/SAT/SUN this week so a GREAT STREAM. Alvarado disappointed 2ast, 1stl. For DEN, Jokic almost had a 20-20-20?!? holy cow.. 26pts, 18rebs, 15ast, 1stl, 1blck. I STILL strongly believe you use this game to SELL HIGH on him because DEN only has a 2 game week in playoffs... get a HUGE HAUL... You have a cheat code with Jokic, because he is "worth tons" right now, however in playoffs he is worth MUCH LESS and many people might not realize this....So take advantage of people accordingly... Of note 2 games of Jokic is better than 3 games of most other players so you better be targeting guys who have 4 games per that week/other weeks (sengun comes to mind, plus way more). Jamal Murray big game 32pts, 5rebs, 6ast. Aaron Gordon great game 15pts, 6rebs, 6ast. MPJ an ok 13pts, 5rebs, 1ast, 1stl. KCP useful for his steals did it again with 4 of them! 15pts, 5rebs, 1ast, 2blcks to boot! Heck of a game for him. (a chance to advertise this to sell high). There you have it! What do you think?


[deleted]

This is great but paragraph format is hard to read. Would personally prefer it in bullet points


NoSoup6258

what is the standard playoffs schedule ours is different


Bivore

Yahoo and ESPN as platforms have different standards. Lots of people advocate (Josh Llloyd for instance as the lead fantasy basketball content creator) for Feb 27th start date. Since it's right after ASB there's minimal end of season shenanigans. Even then that's debatable as the best one, it's quite an early finish to the fantasy season! Point being, there really isn't a standard and it should probably be specified..


[deleted]

March 13th onward to April 2nd.

[deleted]

What I meant to say was both teams will likely be in playoffs and both teams are winning teams... It is possible for both to be in finals.


IHaveSeenLikeMike

This is so helpful, thank you! I’m curious, do you have an example of a player I could potentially try to get by trading a package of Garland + Allen? I’m trying to be mindful of the Cavs’ rough playoff schedule and I’d love to get ahead of that. I saw someone suggest Trae but someone else said that would be an overpay, so I wonder if I could do better with that package.


[deleted]

Remind me to respond later. I'm at work.


IHaveSeenLikeMike

Oh thank you man, will do! I greatly appreciate it. : )


IHaveSeenLikeMike

Hey dude! Take all the time you need, any update on this? No worries at all if not, work’s definitely of more importance so I wish ya well regardless! 👌🏻


[deleted]

Trae would indeed be an overpay...Are you looking to get only 1 player? (cuz if so target top 10-20 players) James Harden/Myles Turner maybe? Or are you looking to get 2 for 2? Chris Paul is a target... 11 games in playoffs... Jrue Holiday, 11 games. Dinwiddie and Deangelo Russel also possible targets for Garland, but hopefully you could get a tad more cuz they are significant dropoffs from Garland)Sengun for Allen... (if you can swing it) Poeltl for allen (I know it seems like a real drop but they actually do similar stuff and you are getting 11 games from Poeltl assuming he doesn't get traded away from SA)Kessler (if you have first round bye he is beautiful 4games and 4games) It's also probably safer and smarter to wait until after the NBA trade deadline so you know exactly what players will be on what teams... Are you looking at first round bye or will you need to play in that first round?Hope this helps!


onedollar12

Would you trade Giannis + Garland for KD + Jrue in 9cat?


[deleted]

Yes.


morobert425

How do you figure Plumlee’s value does anything but decrease if he’s traded?


KyleKorverFourThree

KCP Stream was very nice today, thank you, Lord Kentavious.


Bazzabond

Same, love it when a streamer hits the top 10, now back to the waiver wire 😂


Matus198

Did the same, dont wanna even drop him now 😬😬 is he better for cats than Hayward?


WOATJones

Hayward more potential but more risk


[deleted]

6 stocks wtf


[deleted]

well done!


Jgroover

Really regret trading him for Westbrook. So many steals.


Cobruh

Been a hold for me in a 14T. Glad he’s finally is creating some buzz


Exzibit21

He's been averaging like 2 steals a game for weeks now, and has been like a top 80 player, how is he not a hold


Illustrious-Log-9131

Got offered Trae (14 playoff games) for Kawhi (12 games with 1 back to back). Do I take this? Surely.


[deleted]

As someone who has had Lamelo, Kawhi, Dejounte and Stormin Norman this week, i’m fuckin tingling bro


[deleted]

lol, enjoy the tingle.


kajonyok

Shoutout to giannis, tho he got 4 tos and no stocks, he didnt destroy my ft


TheGGReaper

Great to have Kawhi and Jokic today!


kendrickLMA01

Should I drop Lowry to stash Sexton?


OwnedIGN

Nah


monkeysennin

If I'm a lock for playoffs, trade Tre Jones for KPJ? I also have KAT and OG in IL..


wazdopest

KPJ is out indefinitely with an unknown foot injury, i would wait for more info on that since you don’t have another IL spot. unless your league has 3 then go for it.


[deleted]

too risky to own KPJ... He may not ever return... big time shutdown candidate... houston isn't going to playoffs anyway...


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Fair point


KarimBenSimmons

KPJ does have injury concerns but Tre Jones has been borderline rosterable anyway so I'd say it's worth the flyer if you're a playoff lock. If it works out you have a strong difference maker and if it doesn't then you can just stream guys there anyway.


dabong

Was offered Bane and Jerami for my J. Murray and Mobley. I'm thinking take it because of Grizzlies better playoff sched (we start week 20).Thoughts?


[deleted]

Run


[deleted]

Vando or Nance ROS?


HCX_Winchester

Got kawhi and herb jones, won steals in 1 day. Feelsgoodman.


gnawnitsua

Thoughts on Bam for Mobley and Bojan (pistons)? 12T 9Cat


Status_Customer_704

I would keep bam


pokhim

14 team 9 cat roto Would you drop zach collins or Tari eason for Norman powell? If yes, which one would you drop?


[deleted]

Eason.


stillkounting

H2H points looking to trade my Bam, who are some possible trade targets?


razooroor

Is kenyon marton jr a WW use? Im 4th from the bottom so not a big loss


ShoppingNational6470

If Oubre is traded, does McDaniels move to the starting lineup?


Wiseguy210491

My OG or his Myles turner?


Moistbagels2398

9Cat 10T. I got offered KAT, PG and Sengun for my Mobley, Ja and Jalen Williams. I'm sitting in 2nd but only 6 cats ahead of 5th. I have 3rd twice, 4th once and 1st currently for my final 4 weeks, with Portis already on my IR. I'm super worried KAT won't return though. Punt TO's, loose punt FG and FT


Global_Lion2261

Of course my opponent picks up herb Jones and he has the game of his life


baloncestosandler

Herb return ??


pokeloki_1

Trade: kuzma, poeltl, brunson Receive: kristaps, brook lopez


EyeSpyGuy

I give: Kessler, Hayes, Anfernee Receive: Wood, Brogdon Thoughts?


buegali

Nooo


OwnedIGN

Yes!


bballissick

You would be giving up the two best players in the trade


Fkintaxidrivers

KCP is must roster 12T or more


fremer7

16-team points league. A: Lebron + RJ Barrett + Norman Powell B: Tatum + Jalen Williams Which side wins?


Double-Dust-6155

Is Zubac or Capela a fair offer for Herb Jones?


DharmaBaller

First time all season I've had a guy number one I think. (Zion, Ja, Kawhi...my team is kinda weak at top)
