There are 12 teams in action Thursday as the first week of the fantasy basketball playoffs hits the midpoint. The Jazz will look to continue their climb toward a top-four spot in the loaded Western Conference and will host a struggling Timberwolves team. Jeff Teague continues to struggle with a foot injury, one in a line of many injuries that have basically derailed his season. Tyus Jones typically steps up when Teague is on the sidelines and their last game was no different. Jones is available in over 75 percent of all…

With less than a month left in the regular season, many teams are looking to secure a playoff spot by any means necessary. Five of the six games Wednesday have playoff implications; all except for the Hawks who host the Grizzlies. Neither team is going to see the postseason, however, there is still potential fantasy value to be found. The Hawks are missing a number of rotational pieces, especially in their frontcourt. This has meant Alex Len has seen an increase in his playing time, and thus far he has taken advantage of the…

Seven games on the slate for Tuesday, highlighted by an important clash in LA between the Clippers and the Trail Blazers. Elsewhere, Dallas will host a red-hot Spurs team and may be without their rookie sensation, Luka Doncic. Jalen Brunson has been playing very well of late, even with Doncic on the floor, and is worth a look across most competitive leagues. He can provide points and assists, both of which are tough to find on the waiver wire.Not using Fantrax to host your fantasy basketball league? Check out our …

Week 21 kicks off with six games across the league, including a couple of key inter-conference matchups. The Jazz will host the Thunder out west, while in Brooklyn, the Nets will host the red-hot Pistons. The Pistons are on the second night of a back-to-back set, however, the lead-in game against the Bulls was far from a challenge. Rodions Kurucs has moved into the starting lineup for the Nets and has been playing well. He is typically the third or fourth option on the offensive end which means he is often forgotten by the…

Week 20 comes to a close, giving many owners one more day to attempt to win their first-round playoff matchup. There are nine games on the slate with many having real-world implications as well as fantasy. The Pistons are flying high right now, with their recent form coinciding with the return of a healthy Ish Smith. Smith’s scoring has been up and down over the last two weeks but he has been a consistent source of assists, averaging almost six per game over his past seven. He typically offers little outside of dimes but he…

Streaming becomes even more important as the week draws to a close, for many, the first week of their fantasy playoffs. There are 12 teams in action Saturday with only two teams on the second game of a back-to-back set. The Knicks will host the Kings in the early game, with plenty of potential value to be found. Allonzo Trier has been scoring the ball well over the past two weeks and if his playing time was assured, he would almost be a must-roster player. Owners who need points and threes should give him a look, although,…

After just two games Thursday, the schedule picks up again with nine games slated for Friday. Adam King is here once again, with the Daily Fantasy Basketball Forecaster, analyzing a number of injury concerns as well as a few players that could have value across tomorrows games. Delon Wright has put together a pair of strong performances, both with and without Mike Conley on the floor. Wright possesses a fantasy friendly game and despite a still developing role, should be rostered in most competitive leagues.Not using…

Only two games in the NBA Thursday, with both having an impact on the seedings in each conference. With only four teams in action, there is plenty of potential to stream but very little talent available. Cory Joseph has had moments of fringe value this season, although has struggled of late. If you have a spare roster spot and could do with assists and steals, Joseph could be worth picking up as a one-off.Not using Fantrax to host your fantasy basketball league?

With many teams now battling for their fantasy playoffs, being aware of player injuries is key to overall success. Every day I break down every game, focusing on the injuries and subsequent value which could be found. Joakim Noah was disappointing in his last game but had been playing very well prior to that. He may have been dropped in a number of leagues by owners unable to wait him out. The Grizzlies have a few injuries to contend with and Noah has a good chance to bounce back against the Trail Blazers.Not using…
