Fantasy BenchwarmersS04DFQ50 - Are Terry Rozier and Rudy Gobert "buy low"? Or should we just stay away?What a first day of week 11! Commish Eric wanted to vent out some frustration on Terry Rozier who has been a major disappointment so far this season. We try and figure whether he is still a "buy low" candidate or just a player we should hope is not on our team. The same can probably be said about Rudy Gobert, who is slowly being outplayed by his backup Naz Reid. Can he still turn it around?
Plus, discussions on Keldon Johnson, Myles Turner, Domantas Sabonis, Alex "effin'" Len, Jimmy Butler (let this be the last we talk...

However, how much do we really trust Butler's availability throughout the season? This makes us wonder what is Butler's trade value at this point? What are we willing to get in case we are pondering trading Butler.

We can't help but compare him to another perennial stud Kevin Durant, who is still putting up solid 9-cat lines at age 34! So in this episode we face them off to determine who is the preferred rest of the season option.

Both have also been 2 of the better fantasy players that have been drafted in the first round. Commish and I debate (a little) on who between the two would we have picked first given the chance to re-draft today.

And more importantly he did play back-to-back games which is really encouraging from the availability standpoint. He also played really well to the delight of his fantasy owners including me. So as the Los Angeles Lakers climb their way back into playoff contention, is now the best time to sell The King?

So is this the perfect time to sell him? Or should we ride it out?

Fantasy BenchwarmersS04DFQ26 - Could Lamelo Ball end up a fantasy bust with another injury?After just 2 games, Lamelo Ball re-injured his ankle after stepping on a fan's foot accidentally while Ball chased a loose ball. He took around 6 weeks when he first injured the ankle, and this may seem "minor" compared to the earlier injury but add the fact that the Charlotte Hornets are currently second to the last place in the East, Ball could end up missing games more. I am very worried that he could end up being this season's first round bust (like Dame Lillard last season).

Lebron James went down with an injury in the last few minutes of their game against the Clippers. And with the way things are going with the LA Lakers, this may not be a good sign. We'll still need to wait for some timeline, plus it's still early and for sure Lebron will be back (with that Kareem record in sight). But with that much mileage in his body, he might miss a few games just to keep it safe.

But for Jabari's case, I don't know, this struggle of his feels like it's going to stick for a while just because of his role in this team being that 4th option.

We talk about these demands to see whether Kyrie can play with the Nets again or will he still play at all.

We know it's very early into the season, but Luka Doncic owners for sure could not contain their joy as their guy is on a tear! Is this the breakout we are waiting for from Luka? Which then brings back to my question, who can unseat Nikola Jokic as the top fantasy basketball player? If Luka can keep that 80% FT shooting through out the season, keep himself healthy enough, and pour out crazy counting stats that he is capable of, he could be the one, so let's see.

Or can he get back to the late season form he showed last season?
Kawhi was load managed today and will also miss the LA Clippers' next game. We kind of expected something like this, but this early? Looks like this will be a problem throughout the season for those who took Kawhi really early.

We knew the arrival of Rudy Gobert will affect his fantasy value, but we never thought it was going to be this bad. The scoring had made a significant drop while the FG% is just atrocious for KAT standards. It doesn't help that KAT feels he is the "best big man shooter" in the league as he continues to clunk threes toward 30+% field goal. So what should we do now? Can he still get better and get closer to his ADP? Should we buy low on him? How low can we offer?

The return of John Wall and Kawhi!A 15-point performance would've been a decent stat, but with goose eggs in a number of other categories, we're a bit worried about Tyrese Maxey. The James Harden effect has seemingly hit Maxey's fantasy value real hard. Good for Harden owners, not so good for Maxey owners. He'll probably get a few good games here and there, plus Harden might cool off from this hot start at some point, but we'll be watching Maxey's production closely.

The Charlotte Hornets, more notably Lamelo Ball and Terry Rozier got into COVID health and safety protocols today and will be out at least for a week and a half. Then Alex Caruso suffers a hamstring injury while Jaylen Brown and OG Anunoby will be missing more time due to their respective injuries.
Still, despite those news, we still had some good set of games today and we talked about the Chicago Bulls' Zach...

Fantasy BenchwarmersNBA Fantasy Quickie (05.16.21) - Looking back at commish Eric's season in fantasy and appreciating Chris Paul.So tomorrow the NBA fantasy season ends. We'll still have a quickie tomorrow but today we take a look back at commish Eric's season as we ask him what went right for him this season (commish had a relatively great fantasy season this year).
Then we proceeded with some discussion of the games tomorrow. This is relatively a short quickie as we don't really have much to talk about. Just continuing the habit we've gotten used to for almost half a year. We'll have our last quickie tomorrow so hopefully, you'll stick with us until the end (o...

Fantasy BenchwarmersNBA Fantasy Quickie (05.15.21) - If Nikola Jokic is #1, who will be your #2 next season? The challenge with Roto.Eric and I both agree that Nikola Jokic is definitely this season's fantasy MVP. I don't think anyone came close. So I guess the question is, who is really #2? James Harden? Steph Curry? Dame Lillard? Next season's ranking will definitely be interesting. But in this quickie we had a headstart in that discussion. Russell Westbrook is another player that probably carried a lot of fantasy managers to the finals. He played 60+ games this season when many, even us, felt he would be playing less. Eric also shared what's the 10th category we should always consider when drafting players and...

Fantasy BenchwarmersNBA Fantasy Quickie (04.29.21) - Eric rants on Domantas Sabonis. Tyler Herro is overrated (over-owned).We kick things off with some playoff stories and commish Eric's frustration on Domantas Sabonis. He owns him in pretty much every league that are in the playoffs at the moment and that makes us wonder. When you have multiple leagues, would you stay away from drafting the same player in every team just to spread your risk of injuries?
Then we discuss some players who have picked the wrong time to slump. And then there's Tyler Herro. I'm not sure about you but I feel Herro as a fantasy player is way overrated. At best I...

Did Gafford save your season?Playoff story for today was all about my opponent pulling off a great fantasy veteran move in their semifinal matchup. I have to say, it was a great move and a very smart move at that. So I got booted out of that one, but not too bad of a showing considering Kawhi Leonard only played 1 game in 2 weeks then I had to drop Richaun Holmes. Been getting a bunch of really good stories about their playoff matches some were happy they won, while others were just unlucky. But hey, whatever the result, I hope it was still fun...

Enes Kanter gives a gem of a statline.Another batch of injuries were reported today - Kelly Oubre, James Wiseman, Aleksej Pokusevski, Lonzo Ball (again!), just to name a few. But the biggest news though is the 3-week timeline given for Lebron James's return. Obviously, for leagues starting their playoffs next week, he is a drop. Tougher decisions will be for those starting on week 17 or 18. Is he worth holding onto?
There were two very unlikely studs today - Enes Kanter and Gary Trent Jr. Trent just had one of those games where the hoop so big anything he throws is going in. Kanter on...

Fantasy BenchwarmersNBA Fantasy Quickie (04.09.21) - The Boucher regret? Kawhi Leonard is still elite fantasy player.This is why Commish Eric was really high on Chris Boucher even during the down times. More than the output, the minutes have been really good for Boucher. The question now is, will Nick Nurse continue to play him and give him those 25 minutes at least? But if your patience led you to keeping Boucher through thick and thin, congratulations!
In very Kawhi-like fashion, low key, under the radar, Kawhi Leonard is top 4 in NBA fantasy rankings for 9-cat leagues. And he has been very reliable in terms of him not missing games. He could be a...

It seems like there are no clear destination yet for DMC as the Lakers have said that they are not very interested in signing the former Rockets center. The Dallas Mavericks have been rumored to be testing the trade market for Kristaps Porzingis, though owner Mark Cuban denied this. But as the saying goes, when there's smoke, there's fire and this KP situation looks to be smoking. Andre Drummond is still a Cavalier, though his frustrated owners are...

The timetable for Mitch Robinson’s recovery from fractured hand was set to 4-6 weeks. This is a few weeks before fantasy playoffs, so we expect managers to hold on to him. Nerlens Noel surprisingly played 32 minutes and gave modest numbers which did not excite owners. But at least the minutes are there.

Is it right to pull out from a trade when a player being traded in fantasy gets injured/traded?

First quickie of the year and definitely no LMA talk. As always we discuss our FBW (Feel good, Buy and Worry) players of the day.
