March 22, 2023 13:20 - 18 minutes - 14.4 MB

March 15, 2023 15:03 - 29 minutes - 22.9 MB

We take a look at all the 30 teams and discuss who are the players that are in the "must hold" category and which ones are in the "can drop when needed" list. At the point in the fantasy season, values of players change no matter the name value or past rankings. There might be a point in your matchup when you need to make some hard cuts just to survive, so hopefully this can help you decide when needed. Catch us in any of these podcast platforms!

S04DFQ88 - Bad timing on injuries that could be fantasy season ender - KD, Luka, Ingram.

March 09, 2023 23:59 - 23 minutes - 18 MB

One of my playoff teams is a casualty of this early silly season fantasy. Nicolas Claxton will miss the first half of the back-to-back, Jalen Williams has missed both games of the OKC Thunder this week. And now Kevin Durant injured his ankle on pre-game warmups. WARMUPS! Now I believe this teams was not bound to win with all these stuff happening. But that is Head-to-Head fantasy basketball. Luck plays a part in these games especially the playoffs. Ironically, some of the "injury prone" guys...

S04DFQ87 - Are Ja Morant and Zion Williamson drops? The SGA load management we've been waiting for.

March 07, 2023 15:49 - 25 minutes - 19.5 MB

With Ja Morant out indefinitely as of today, is he worth dropping if there's no more room in my IL spots? Is Zion Williamson still worth holding onto? Now the cat is out of the bag for the OKC Thunder as their coach has said they will be scaling back on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's work load for the rest of the season. This is what many have anticipated, thus, the reason he fell from the drafts. Well, I guess some things never change. At least he gave his managers some first round value numbers...

S04DFQ83 - Lamelo Ball's season is over, is Lebron's season over too? Is SGA being load managed?

March 01, 2023 01:32 - 32 minutes - 25 MB

The biggest blow today is the injury on Lamelo Ball - fractured ankle. This probably makes him done for the season (just announced now that he is done). It has been a disappointing year for Lamelo owners as he has only played 36 games this season. If you have Lamelo and your team is in the playoffs, we had some tips on how to survive this loss from your first round pick. Meanwhile, Lebron James, who also heard something pop the other day, has not been ruled out for the rest of the season. B...

S04DFQ82 - Is load management behind Kawhi Leornard? A debate on who will be picked first - Curry, Dame, SGA?

February 27, 2023 23:06 - 34 minutes - 26.8 MB

With Kawhi Leonard playing 46 and 38 minutes in the past two overtime games, is "load management" a thing of the past for Kawhi? He has been top 15 the past month and is currently top 1 the past couple of weeks. This gamble is definitely paying off for his managers.  We debate on who will be picked first next season - Steph Curry, Damian Lillard or Shai-Gilgeous Alexander? Plus some fantasy playoff tips!

S04DFQ80 - Duren vs. Wiseman: Detroit's frontcourt fantasy dilemma. Is Dame Time rest time?

February 25, 2023 05:02 - 35 minutes - 27.6 MB

Detroit's trade deadline acquisition James Wiseman has now become a thorn on the side of rookie Jalen Duren. This leaves us wondering if both or any of these guys are going to be worth holding onto as the fantasy playoffs begin as early as next week. We haven't even included the return of Marvin Bagley, who adds another wrinkle in this already annoying scenario for fantasy owners of Duren. Damian Lillard took a very unexpected rest. Is it already that time of the season? Has silly season fa...

S04DFQ79 - Fantasy Trade Deadline discussion: To Veto or Not to Veto? Faceoff: Lamelo vs. Halliburton

February 16, 2023 20:28 - 32 minutes - 24.9 MB

Our leagues are approaching the fantasy trade deadline and we had a trade under review as we recorded our quickie. So we thought of discussing this trade as it was probably one of the tougher ones to decide on this season.  Then we looked into the season of Lamelo Ball, who after having a frustrating start due to injuries has now racked up some really impressive stat lines and has quietly been top 50 the past month. We pit him against early season favorite Tyrese Halliburton, who on the fli...

We take a look at the debut of Matisse Thybulle and Josh Hart with their new teams. Will their value increase as they step into new/expanded roles? We also had a lengthy discussion about trading a couple of weeks before the playoffs. Should teams who are out of contention still be allowed to trade (even if player values are fair enough)?

S04DFQ75 - Kevin Durant goes to the Phoenix Suns, while LA Lakers finally trade Russell Westbrook!

February 09, 2023 12:49 - 31 minutes - 24.1 MB

Man oh man! What a day and it wasn't even the trade deadline! Four very fantasy relevant trades today but I guess none bigger than that Kevin Durant to the Phoenix Suns deal. From a basketball standpoint, KD joining Devin Booker, Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton is huge! But from the fantasy basketball point of view, it is Mikal Bridges who could make that big jump from being number 3 to maybe number 1 in Brooklyn. Los Angeles Lakers finally found a Russell Westbrook trade partner ending the te...

S04DFQ74 - Lebron James breaks the scoring record. Is it time to rest? Who can you sell Cam Thomas for?

February 08, 2023 15:35 - 26 minutes - 20.7 MB

There you have it! Kareem Abdul Jabbar's 38 year old scoring record was finally broken today by Lebron James. Lebron's longevity is just impressive and with the way he is playing at 38, mad respect! Now that it is over, is it time to load manage Lebron? Cam Thomas scored another 40ish game! Definitely a sell high, but how high can you sell?  Catch us in any of these podcast platforms!

S04DFQ71 - Kyrie Irving problems once again? Thank god Kyle Lowry is out!

February 04, 2023 12:17 - 32 minutes - 25.1 MB

Here we go again! Well, this is actually not as bad fantasy-wise, but as fantasy managers, we don't like to see another Kyrie Irving problem because he has been so good! Irving asked for a trade and it will be interesting where he lands. Either way, his fantasy value might not change dramatically, or will it? We've never been this happy finding out one of our players is out! This is what we felt when we saw that Kyle Lowry will be out tomorrow due to knee soreness. Just when I was contempla...

S04DFQ70 - Would you rather have Damian Lillard or Steph Curry for the rest of the season?

February 02, 2023 15:21 - 27 minutes - 21.3 MB

It was not an official face-off, but today's quickie discussion about Damian Lillard brought us to asking this question - With the way Dame has been playing, would you rather have him or Steph Curry for the rest of the season fantasy-wise? We also drooled over the fantasy lines of rookies Tari Eason and Walker Kessler. Plus we pick our Eastern Conference Fantasy All-Star Reserves. It was harder than we thought. Share you picks as well.

S04DFQ66 - Luka Doncic suffers injury! Mitchell Robinson and Christian Wood's extended timetable.

January 28, 2023 06:03 - 21 minutes - 16.6 MB

As impressive as Luka Doncic is this season, he was not spared from injuries after suffering a mild ankle sprain. We're unclear if he will miss time, but we only hope that it won't take too long before he returns. Unfortunately for Christian Wood and Mitchell Robinson owners, the two players' timeline was moved back a few more weeks. What to do with Robinson? How to survive Wood's absence? We also sidestepped a bit from fantasy to talk about the official All-Star starters. Catch us in any ...

S04DFQ65 - Anthony Davis is back! Are you selling or holding?

January 26, 2023 14:40 - 29 minutes - 22.9 MB

Anthony Davis returned and did not seem to lose a step as he gave a solid fantasy line in just 26 minutes. And what will be an AD conversation without another near injury during the game? Well, he stepped on a Spurs player's foot and rolled his ankle as he attempted a half-court shot! This definitely had his owners shaking their heads as another AD injury could be tough pill to swallow. This guy just seems like an injury always waiting to happen. With that we once again float the idea of whe...

January 19, 2023 23:13 - 21 minutes - 17 MB

Just when my teams with Lamelo Ball are starting to hit their stride, he goes down anew with another ankle injury! It did not look good the way he left the court (he did not get x-rays which may be a sign of good news), but let's keep our fingers crossed.   We discussed Thomas Bryant, Jalen Green, Jalen Brunson, Mark Williams, Isaiah Jackson plus a few more.

January 18, 2023 22:51 - 24 minutes - 18.7 MB

With the outstanding play by Walker Kessler and the seemingly "bust" outlook on Rudy Gobert, we wondered if Kessler has overtaken Gobert in fantasy basketball. Who would you pick first next season?
