Sixth Man award winner Lou Williams as well as trade for Center Roy Hibbert from the Indiana Pacers. Let’s not forget the Lakers drafting D’Angelo Russell with the Number two pick to add with a young mix of Jordan Clarkson and Julius Randle. The Lakers managed to have a pretty decent off-season and on paper look to be an improvement but is that enough to say that they’re a playoff team? Kobe Bryant apparently thinks they are. In a recent interview done with Marc Spears of Yahoo Sports, Kobe was asked if he believed the Lakers could…

rebounds, leading all Sixers players in scoring. Simmons, on the other hand, was dishing out a ton of assists in the first quarter. The Rookie of the Year candidate had eight assists along with four points. Throughout the game, Simmons showed off his precision passing, a nice jump shot in the paint, and aggressively drove to the basket. Despite having six turnovers, Simmons notched another double-double consisting of 12 points and 15 rebounds. Aforementioned, one of the reasons why the…

the top five MVP candidates will go head to head, in what should be a great and entertaining series. If the regular season is any indication, then this series will be extremely close and go down to the wire. All four of their regular season games were decided by a combined 12 points with no team winning by more than six points. The playoffs are different animal, but we should have a great series nonetheless. Key Matchups Kawhi Leonard vs. James Harden This matchup will easily be the most…

Alvin Gentry unveiled his plan to start Holiday and Rondo together going into next season. Holiday would obviously shift to shooting guard in that arrangement, and then be the primary ball handler most of the time when Rondo is not in the game. For fantasy basketball owners, it’s going to be worth watching how Rondo and Holiday function together. This would not be the first time Gentry has deployed Holiday this fashion. Tim Frazier started 12 of the final 13 games last season in the same…

last article, we discussed some sleeper point guards for the 2015-16 NBA season, so now it’s time to look at the shooting guard position. Shooting guards are the most difficult players for me to project in fantasy basketball. It’s so hard during the preseason to get a firm grasp on who will be starting and who’s minutes may see a decrease this season. I do in fact have some great sleeper options, though. From Monta Ellis to Zach LaVine, there are are plethora of talented guys to anchor your…

Slow starts have become a theme for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Through six games this season, the Cavs have had to erase early deficits in several contests — And Friday night’s matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers was no different. “That’s a fact — We started slow the last two games,” Cavs head coach David Blatt said. “The sample size is small, but we did mention it.” Despite another slow start against Philadelphia Friday, the Cavs (5-1) pulled away to pick up a 108-102 victory in Quicken Loans…

The Cavaliers know that if they want to make it back to the NBA Finals and defeat the Golden State Warriors, they need another option behind Irving. On Saturday, Marc Stein of ESPN reported that the Cavs could target either Utah Jazz point…

Western Conference 1. Golden State Warriors - Imagine a rich guy winning the lottery; that’s the 2016-17 Golden State Warriors. Can they win 74 games in the upcoming regular season? 2. San Antonio Spurs - Swap Tim Duncan for Pau Gasol and what do you get? Basically the same Spurs team as last year: still old, but still good. 3. Utah Jazz - The new kids on the block. The up-and-comers. The millennials of the NBA. The Jazz have been bad for a while, but that should stop now. 4. Portland Trail…
