Basketball Fantasy – Fantasy NBA Daily Notes

As Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN recently reported, the situation has become dramatic enough that the reception desk can market a large portion of the list of trade talks. Zach Lowe of ESPN skilfully adds context to the team's situation, which makes it quite difficult and even improbable for Wizards to move Wall at least until next season, given the "Complexities of his kicker 15%", is believed to be the first commercial kicker to spread over the term of a supermax contract. "

As a fantasy manager, you should be as enthusiastic as the NBA General Managers in reading this article by Woj, who is plagued by palace intrigue and fractured alignment dynamics. That is, chaos can be valuable, especially when players like Bradley Beal, Otto Porter Jr. and Wall have probably lost their imaginary value, given the uncertainty of this scenario and the game. disappointing on the ground so far.

Wall will not leave anytime soon, it is the impression that I have read from Lowe 's thorough analysis. Which means that he could also be the last man standing if the team broke this trio of stars in trouble. I'm willing to try to get Wall for example 80 cents a dollar, and similar offers should be made for Beal. Porter is probably quite cheap in fantastic deals and would probably increase usage and other opportunity rates if it were dealt with in real terms. Do not let DC drama erase you from this list. Let's try to take advantage of that to our advantage.

With an eye on meaningful fantastic performances and relevant statistical trends, let's dive into the night that was in the NBA.

Tuesday recap

Strong points

Tim Hardaway Jr., New York Knicks: 32 points (10-21 FG), 5 rebounds, 4 assists

John Wall, magicians from Washington: 30 points (9-24 FG), 4 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks, 1 OT

Hassan Whiteside, Miami Heat: 21 points (9-21 FG), 23 rebounds, 2 blocks, 3 OTs

lowlights

Danilo Gallinari, LA Clippers: 3 points (0-8 FG), 5 rebounds, 5 assists

Kyle Lowry, Toronto Raptors: 9 points (3-9 FG), 4 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 OT

James Johnson, Miami Heat: 4 points (1-7 FG), 3 rebounds, 4 assists

Tuesday to take away

• After a slow start to the season, the Whiteside Miami is now 19th overall. Last night, Whiteside produced his 10th 20/20 match of his career, the second largest in Heat's history. If the Whiteside stock has an artificially low reality in your fantasy league, now may be a good time to continue the block action before such performances begin to rise. After all, Whiteside is barely behind Andre Drummond with 22.8 rebound chances per game (less than 3.5 feet from a rebound available).

• Speaking of underrated values, I am almost certain that the fantasy market is not fully aware of the quality of performance of Dr. Angelo Russell of Brooklyn, especially for fantasy purposes. For the context, he is 16th overall. No, really – Russell produces a second-round value in over 20% of the campaign. Last night, Russell scored a solid ground game with nine tables and six dimes, scoring 20 points for the third straight game, tied for the second-longest of his career of this type. Up 39.5% of the 6.5 attempts in depth beyond the arc per game, Russell has taken off as a scorer since Caris LeVert is injured. In his last five starts, Russell averaged 18.8 shots per game, along with a rich mix of 3 points, assists and flights.

• Tim Hardaway Jr., of the Knicks, posted his third straight game of 30 points last night, the longest stretch of his career. THJ now has six 30-point selections this season after seven in his career. I do not have a horn, so saying it would be hypothetical, so I will instead make a link with my article on heavy sleepers before the season when I rented Hardaway's ability to become an awesome maven scores.

Notable injuries

• Victor Oladipo (knee) is considered suspicious for tonight's tilt with the Hornets. If it can not go, Tyreke Evans becomes a viable DFS game and a powerful starter in newer version formats.

• Kawhi Leonard, of Toronto, has not played in a consecutive scenario this season and is therefore considered dubious before tonight's trip to Atlanta. The Raptors are surely confident that they can take care of the Hawks without their superstar wing, so we probably will not see Leonard in action.

Analytical advantage for Wednesday

All teams except four are in action tonight, which means you will surely have to make some tough decisions regarding Wednesday's lineup. I like to turn to opportunity rates as a quick differentiator when choosing between multiple players for one or two utility positions, for example.

Keys, potential aids, and chances of bouncing back are two simple yet global statistics that we can turn to when we try to maximize programming decisions. Using the NBA's rich tracking database – the league has high-speed cameras set at parades of all NBA arenas that follow the movement of players and specific basketball-centric data several times per second – we can know which players earn significantly chances to produce the numbers we pursue.

Check the links to the statistics in the previous paragraph and start sorting by team and recent production (the last five games, for example). You'll find really useful information, such as who touches the ball, distributes it or bounces it at a high rate, to make some fantastic decisions.

The best players to watch tonight

One of the NBA duos, who became rivals, find themselves while Russell Westbrook and the Thunder visit Kevin Durant and the Warriors (10:30 ET on ESPN). This is the eighth face-to-face meeting between the two players, Durant occupying a 5-2 lead (winners each of the last two).

A star that will not be on the field is Stephen Curry. Without him, Golden State has struggled, ranging from 2-4 to 17.6 points lower on average per game. The Warriors have the second worst quality of NBA shooting since Curry was injured.
