Kevin Durant

Welcome to 2018, a year where NBA players finally start staying healthy consistently ... I couldn't even type that with a straight face. We begin the new year with James Harden going down for several weeks. With his injury, now eight of the pre-season top-20 players have missed significant time so far this season. Significant time, meaning more than just a couple of games. When will it stop? Hopefully soon. I'm tired of my phone getting blown up with injury notifications. I get it, half my team is a game-time decision every…

As we near the end of the first quarter of the NBA season, it’s safe to say that almost all of the big names to change teams this summer are thriving in their new surroundings. Both Chris Paul and Paul George are dominating for their new teams and are both top-10 players on a per-game basis.

The forward position in fantasy basketball might not be as sexy or as much fun to draft as guard or center, but that doesn't mean there's not a boatload of talent here.

When you compare the two conferences, the West is far superior to the East. The three best records this season were all by teams in the West. There were two heavy favorites to begin the season in the West: Golden State and San Antonio. That remains the case after the first round. Let's take a look at the two Western Conference semifinals series to see if either Utah or Houston can upset these two juggernauts. #1 Golden State Warriors vs. #5 Utah Jazz 1st Round: Golden State swept Portland in 4 games, Utah beat Los Angeles…

With all due respect to Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, I don't think either of them are one of the top six players in the 2016-17 NBA MVP race!  Durant was hurt for a large chunk of the year and Curry was not quite as good as a second fiddle for the Warriors.  Here is a look at who I would vote for in order for the 2016-17 MVP Award: Russell Westbrook, Oklahoma City Thunder - 28-year old Russell Westbrook is my pick for the 2016-17 NBA MVP!  When Kevin Durant left the Thunder for the Warriors, everyone was predicting the…
