NBA Fantasy Quickie (04.02.21) - Worrying Paul George Update. Love and LMA back to fantasy relevance?
April 02, 2021 11:10 - 34 minutes - 31.8 MBPaul George played today. Usually that's good news to the fantasy managers, but after the game, he said that his foot injury would be day-to-day and the Clippers are trying to figure out how to treat it. This could mean possible late scratches and missed games without warning - stuff fantasy managers hate. Monitor this PG13 situation as it can be another case of annoyance for fantasy managers. We had a little SGA update and it seems like he is still on track to play some games this season....
NBA Fantasy Quickie (04.01.21) - Who's better in fantasy - Anthony Edwards or RJ Barrett? Does DMC have value?
April 01, 2021 10:45 - 40 minutes - 37.5 MBIt is April Fools' Day! I should've prepared some prank for commish today, but I was too focused on trying to win my week and focusing on being a good husband on this holiday Thursday. Still though, we had time for fantasy basketball! And in this quickie we had a useless debate followed by a serious one - Anthony Edwards or RJ Barrett. Who do you think would be the better fantasy player in the next few years? Demarcus Cousins signed a 10-day contract with the Los Angeles Clippers. Would he ...
NBA Fantasy Quickie (03.31.21) - Who do you trust more in fantasy playoffs - Anthony Davis or Andre Drummond?
March 31, 2021 11:57 - 34 minutes - 32.1 MBWe talked about this already in Monday's quickie and with some update on AD doing some on-court activities, we revived this discussion as teams prepare for fantasy playoffs. Do you think it's worth holding on to Anthony Davis even if it means possible rests and no back-to-back games? Or would you rather have Andre Drummond? Another player maybe on a similar boat (or probably worse) as AD is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander who was seen doing some light shooting today. Is SGA still worth holding on ...
NBA Fantasy Quickie (03.30.21) - Are Chris Boucher, Keldon Johnson and Lauri Markkanen droppable?
March 30, 2021 13:11 - 40 minutes - 37.8 MBSo it has now come to this. A few weeks before the fantasy playoffs and a lot of fantasy manager are growing wary of some players who have been quite inconsistent or unreliable. Probably the top three players that are frustrating managers are Chris Boucher, Lauri Markkanen and Keldon Johnson. We've talked about Boucher a lot and among these players he has the highest upside as shown in his top 20 rankings in past weeks. However, the lack of consistent playing time is really annoying. I'm sur...
NBA Fantasy Quickie (03.29.21) - Should we worry about Dame? Drummond or AD - rest of the season?
March 29, 2021 14:15 - 35 minutes - 32.6 MBHey guys! We're skipping all-English episode today as we try a different format for the show. Once we find a better format for the show, we'll get back to going all-English for any of our non-Filipino followers. Moving on to the quickie, Andre Drummond will finally get back on the court and this time fantasy manager will love the situation he will get into as he is now fighting with a playoff team. The question we want you to think about and comment on is, given the health concerns on Antho...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (March 28, 2021) - Holy Moses Brown! LMA picks the Nets and MitchRob is down and out.
March 28, 2021 12:29 - 38 minutes - 35.8 MBIs Moses Brown for real? We take a look at the value of Brown and if he can keep this up. 20-20 could be a stretch but he will most likely be a stud moving forward. There is still a possibility he shares time with newly acquired center Tony Bradley. Lamarcus Aldridge gave the rest of the NBA another reason to get scared of the Brooklyn Nets after he decided to join them. Fantasy-wise, what do you think can he contribute? With the Nets being loaded upfront, we're not sure what impact he gives...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (March 27, 2021) - Update on JJJ you don't want to hear. What to do with SGA? (All-English)
March 27, 2021 15:59 - 44 minutes - 41.5 MBSo we got a Jaren Jackson Jr. update! Not sure if it's good news or bad news, you be the judge. Jusuf Nurkic returned today and played relatively well in 19 minutes. Then we discussed the Orlando Magic rotation and who should be prioritized when adding players from the Magic. Is Khem Birch an add? Can Chuma Okeke be consistently good? But really the biggest question on a lot of fantasy managers' mind is "What to do with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander?" Drop, Keep or Trade? Not only is SGA the play...
S02E23 - HOFA.PH founders share the art of memorabilia collecting and talk some fantasy basketball
March 27, 2021 08:20 - 1 hour - 56.2 MBEver wondered how you can get hold of legit and authenticated memorabilia of your favorite athletes? In this week's episode of FBW, we invited the 'memorabilia godfathers' of Hall of Fame Authentics (Elvis Gutierrez, Stephen Songco and Ron Uy) to help us understand better the world of memorabilia collecting. This is actually a very interesting discussion that at the end of the recording, it made me want to get at least one memorabilia of my favorite athlete. Want an authentic signed jersey o...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (March 26, 2021) - Trade deadline fantasy winners and losers. Did the Lakers miss out on Lowry? (All-English)
March 26, 2021 10:46 - 45 minutes - 42.4 MBFor today's episode, we veered away from our usual quickie to talk about the aftermath of the trade deadline. You can still check out the written quickie for today's games in our Facebook page. We list down the fantasy winners and losers of this year's trade deadline and the players to watch out for that could merit an add. As Lakers fans ourselves, Eric and I briefly talked about the decision to not include Talen Horton-Tucker that derailed the potential deal to land Kyle Lowry. What do y...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (March 25, 2021) - Drop Shai Gilgeous-Alexander? Quick trade rumor update (All-English)
March 25, 2021 12:52 - 34 minutes - 32 MBBiggest news for today isn't actually a trade but an injury to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who right now is out indefinitely. There are no specific timetable provided just yet, so we would recommend waiting for any official announcement before dropping. Although we are not optimistic there would be good news here. We continue some trade rumors talk and also discussed the lone "small" trade (how Woj described it) that happened that sent Delon Wright to Sacramento for Cory Joseph. Who are the wi...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (March 24, 2021) - Talking trade rumors: Lowry, Gordon, Lonzo, Drummond.
March 24, 2021 13:24 - 40 minutes - 37.4 MBLess than two days left before the end of the trade deadline and it seems like a lot of managers have been preparing their teams through trades. In this quickie we discussed some players who have been popping up in trade rumors - Kyle Lowry, Aaron Gordon, Andre Dummond, Lamarcus Aldridge, Victor Oladipo and Lonzo Ball. Who do you think among these players will be traded by the trade deadline? We'll find out soon. As for today's games, Mitch Robinson and Deandre Ayton stood out with nice lin...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (March 24, 2021) - How to deal with Derrick White and Boucher plus live Q&A
March 23, 2021 22:10 - 1 hour - 88.5 MBFirst live Q & A with a listener and it was really fun! We invited one of FBW's listener, AJ Velasco, to join us for a live DFQ so we can meet some of you guys and also get his take on your fantasy basketball questions. Despite being a first year player of fantasy basketball, AJ gave solid takes and tips. In this quickie we talked about Derrick White and Chris Boucher, who have been annoying for some fantasy managers because of their inconsistent play. We also gave some tips on commissionin...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (March 22, 2021) - Lamelo Ball's season ends. Should Wendell Carter Jr be dropped?
March 22, 2021 12:43 - 38 minutes - 35.4 MBLamelo Ball's season seems to have come to an end after the rookie suffered a fractured wrist that would sideline him for the rest of the season. Reports say that he will seek a second opinion and best to maybe wait for that confirmation before dropping, but on one hand, it was Woj who reported it and most often than not, Woj-bombs are quite accurate. One player we've been asked a lot about is Wendell Carter Jr. The Chicago Bulls center has been playing off the bench and hasn't been really ...
S02E22 - Aaron Black talks basketball, his relationship with his coach/dad and fantasy basketball.
March 22, 2021 04:46 - 1 hour - 54.1 MBIt's been awhile since we've had this idea of finding PBA players who are into fantasy basketball. And in this weekly episode we had a breakthrough that got us really excited. 2020 PBA Philippine Cup Outstanding Rookie Aaron Black of the Meralco Bolts graced the podcast and share about basketball, his relationship with his coach/dad and a lot of fantasy basketball! Find out what his rookie "hazing" was when he joined the league, what's his professional relationship is with his dad, multi-tit...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (March 21, 2021) - Lebron James out indefinitely, what now? (All-English)
March 21, 2021 12:30 - 28 minutes - 26 MBFirst Anthony Davis, then Joel Embiid, Kevin Durant is still out, Steph Curry just had an injury scare a few nights ago and now it's Lebron James. The good news is it does not look like it is a season ending injury. The bad news is, he will be out indefinitely. Let's hope it will be just a case of him being out 2-3 weeks at worse four. Talen Horton-Tucker will be the hottest pickup off the wire, but really the biggest beneficiary could be Dennis Schroeder, Montrezl Harrell and Kyle Kuzma. It...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (March 20, 2021) - Did you drop TJ McConnell or Keldon Johnson? Really?!
March 20, 2021 15:59 - 42 minutes - 39.5 MBWe honestly could not believe fantasy managers dropping TJ McConnell or Keldon Johnson. Today, they just showed why we should be more patient with them. Commish Eric shared some criteria you should consider before dropping players. Hope that would help in your decision making process. The Toronto Raptors are back in full force and it looks like the magic of Norm Powell is here to stay as he remains in the team's starting five while Chris Boucher is back to his role off the bench. Both should...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (March 19, 2021) - Ant Man's career game! KAT's resurgence!
March 19, 2021 14:05 - 43 minutes - 39.9 MBIt is Commish Eric's birthday! Just putting it here to mark the birthday episode. But if you want to throw in a greeting, just drop by our Facebook page. Moving on to our quickie, Anthony Edwards played his best game in the NBA so far and he has been quite good for a few games now. It will be interesting to see how the return of D'Angelo Russell and eventually Malik Beasley impact his fantasy value. Karl Anthony-Towns has also picked up the pace and maybe he could still get back to that top ...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (March 18, 2021) - Curry injury scare. Luka Doncic and James Harden tries to one-up each other.
March 18, 2021 13:18 - 38 minutes - 35.3 MBI just traded for Steph Curry during the All-Star Break. So imagine the anxiety I am going through as I await the news on Curry's tailbone injury. I did a bit of research and worst case scenario for a tailbone contusion is 4 weeks. Yikes! But the way he walked off the floor, let's hope for just a week off. PJ Tucker was traded *yawn*. Trevor Ariza was traded *yaaaawwwwnnn*. Hope these (boring, no fantasy excitement types fo trades) are not signs of things to come as we approach trade deadlin...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (March 17, 2021) - Who should you prioritize among the GLeague Boys/Rookies?
March 17, 2021 13:35 - 42 minutes - 39.1 MBWhoa! That Moses Brown stat line! But take note this was against one of the worse teams defense against centers, but the potential to be a monster fantasy player is quite exciting! Since there are quite a number of young players getting fantasy managers all giddy, commish Eric ranked these players according to priority on who you should grab in case more than one is still available in your leagues. Damian Lillard was not too good today, he had zero steals and zero blocks, yuck! Okay, just k...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (March 16, 2021) - How annoying KD! Bagley goes down, Wall, Horford headaches.
March 16, 2021 15:04 - 38 minutes - 35.3 MBSo Kevin Durant could be out another 1-2 weeks. Isn't that annoying? It seems like he has been out for about a month now! We knew coming into this season that he would miss games, but we never really felt it will be this annoying. Knowing what you know now, would you have drafted him in the first round? Marvin Bagley fractures his hand and that could be it for him this season. Okay, nothing is final yet, but he will definitely miss time. As we always tell you guys, let's wait for the offic...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (March 15, 2021) - Hopeless Love! Poku, Poku! Yes, Pokusevski trending up? (All-English)
March 15, 2021 15:22 - 37 minutes - 35.1 MBIt took 11 minutes of playing time in two games before Kevin Love goes down once again with an injury. Well, today's reason for playing only one minute is that his calf did not feel right. I don't know about you but I feel that this season is a lost season already for Love. I don't even think he'll still play a game where in he would be fantasy relevant. Out of frustration, I let go of the Love and I have to say, it's quite liberating! One player who might get more love from fantasy manage...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (March 14, 2021) - Should I trade Joel Embiid? Who do I target?
March 14, 2021 10:23 - 36 minutes - 33.4 MBSo the verdict is out on the Joel Embiid injury. It's a bone bruise that will sideline him for 2-3 weeks. Now, that does not seem a long time, but if you are fighting for your playoff life, 3 weeks without probably your main guy is huge! So Commish Eric and I discussed in length if you should trade Embiid. And if you decide to trade him, for which player would be acceptable? This is going to be tricky situation as well since the Philadelphia 76ers are in first place and they have some depth ...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (March 13, 2021) - Hoping for the best on Joel Embiid injury. Rockets' players could be your key in the playoffs.
March 13, 2021 13:23 - 40 minutes - 37.6 MBOkay, we know that the Joel Embiid injury will be giving his owners some anxiety in the next couple of days, but let's wait for the official diagnosis and timetable before making any decisions on Embiid. Having said that, Ben Simmons could feast in Embiid's absence and if you own Embiid, hopefully you already picked up Dwight Howard as a handcuff in case Embiid misses weeks. (UPDATE: Woj reports as I write this, that the injury looks to just be a bone bruise with no structural damage. Looks ...
S02E21 - Midseason checkpoint and measures to prevent collusion in trading with Mo Twister
March 13, 2021 04:03 - 1 hour - 52.5 MBHey guys! It's time once again for our weekly Fantasy Benchwarmers episode! This week we invited one of our favorite guest, hardcore fantasy manager and radio DJ Mo Twister to talk some midseason fantasy review and one topic that's been very controversial among leagues - trading and collusion. Mo shares some of their league setup regarding trades and the measures they put in to somehow prevent managers from colluding. We also discussed why managers should as much as possible not veto trades ...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (March 12, 2021) - Anthony Davis close to returning? Must-add or monitor G-League call-ups.
March 12, 2021 15:28 - 40 minutes - 37.4 MBAnthony Davis, as reported, will be re-evaluated tomorrow and from the looks of things, he is well within his 4-week timeline. This could be the good news his owners want. Best case scenario, he could be ready to return next week. So congratulations if you survived the 3-week AD-less matchups. Another good news is that Caris Levert is said to be practicing already in practices so he could also be very close to returning. The topic many would be quite interested in would be the waiver pickup...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (March 11, 2021) - Where should Lamarcus Aldridge go? Is Jaren Jackson Jr. really worth it?
March 11, 2021 12:12 - 37 minutes - 34.4 MBAs if it wasn't enough that he has been atrocious this season, Lamarcus Aldridge and the San Antonio Spurs decide to mutually part ways. That means Aldridge would be out "indefinitely" or until he gets traded or moved to another team and like the Andre Drummond case, that could also take time. Having said that, this could also be good news for LMA owners as moving to a new team could increase his playing time and thus, increase his value compared to his early season stint with the Spurs. The...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (March 10, 2021) - Drummond to the Nets? Or the Lakers? Houston firesale!
March 10, 2021 14:40 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MBFinally the All-Star Break is done and we'll be back to regular programming tomorrow! Man, how I miss following games and players on my fantasy team! In today's quickie, we gave some updates on players returning tomorrow and those who will miss some games this week including Joel Embiid (1 game) and Ben Simmons (2 games). More interesting though would be some of the rumors commish Eric has been reading in various sites. Names floating around these rumors include Andre Drummond, Aaron Gordon,...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (March 09, 2021) - Live Q & A. Bunch of trade analysis and rest of the season outlook.
March 10, 2021 14:28 - 1 hour - 85.8 MBWe invited one of our favorite guest Max Visaya to help us with our live Q & A session with our fellow benchwarmers. So in this not so quickie, we discussed second half of the season strategies, did a bunch of trade analysis and some rest of the season outlook for players. You can also catch the Daily Fantasy Quickie on these platforms: Apple Podcast: https://apple.co/3q1MWeR Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2V7ZOBF Anchor: https://anchor.fm/fantasybenchwarmers Like and follow us on Facebook: ...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (March 08, 2021) - Second Half Fantasy Breakouts! (All-English DFQ)
March 08, 2021 12:44 - 39 minutes - 36.1 MBWe're back with the Daily Fantasy Quickie! It was a short break for our DFQ, but to be honest, it has been such a habit that I don't know what to do with my afternoon without it! In today's quickie, we talked a bit about the All-Star event this morning and some updates including Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons and of course the Blake Griffin to the Brooklyn Nets news. How relevant do you think would Griffin be with his new team? Many from the Facebook group felt that he would be a dud while some...
S02E20 - Scratching the surface of NBA Top Shot!
March 06, 2021 03:01 - 1 hour - 61 MBHave you heard of NBA Top Shot? We've been seeing a lot of posts about NBA Top Shot and we got curious. So we looked for some NBA fans who are into this new craze to know more. We were joined by JC Cuevas and Marvin Lim of NBA Top Shot Philippines to help us understand what's NBA Top Shot and why all the fuzz about it. What's really interesting for me is that the NBA and the NBPA are quite involved in this so that backing would lessen some doubts many would have about NBA Top Shot. Oh and it...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (March 05, 2021) - What will be Derozan's fate in the trade deadline? Ja Morant or De'Aron Fox?
March 05, 2021 13:31 - 43 minutes - 40.3 MBIt’s the last quickie before the NBA All-Star Break and not surprisingly, a bunch of players took an early vacation as they rested from today’s games. Still there were some really nice performances worth talking about. Jimmy Butler is slowly moving up the ranks and he looks to be one of those players who is primed to have a big second half of the season. Demar Derozan is another very underrated player who has been playing well since the start of the year. Now the question is, will he remain...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (March 04, 2021) - What are you willing to give up for Andre Drummond?
March 04, 2021 12:48 - 28 minutes - 26.6 MBToday was quite interesting. Three very unlikely players got a triple double. Nope it was not Russell Westbrook, nor was it Draymond Green. James Harden had a triple double but we kinda expected that or at least we are not surprised by that. So who's the three? TJ McConnell, Dennis Smith Jr and Mason Plumlee! In DFS play, these three players had a value of just $65 combined! McConnell's triple double was quite impressive as he had 10 swipes! Smith Jr. has been playing relatively well for Det...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (March 03, 2021) - COVID and the Raptors. Jerami Grant falling back to earth?
March 03, 2021 12:08 - 39 minutes - 36.4 MBToronto (Tampa Bay) Raptors is now the latest team to be struck by the COVID protocols as several key players were declared out already for the their game against Detroit. Among those of significant fantasy relevance are Fred Vanvleet, OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam. Of course we talk about beneficiaries and possible waiver pickups for the Raptors. Kawhi Leonard was a very late scratch. Looks like he is getting his early All-Star Break treatment already, to the dismay of his owners. We also l...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (March 02, 2021) - James Harden or Nikola Jokic? Which injured player should you stash now?
March 02, 2021 12:42 - 38 minutes - 35.4 MBBiggest news today was the dismissal of Atlanta Hawks coach Lloyd Pierce. This is something we all kinda expected and for some fantasy managers hoped as well. Now we’ll have to see how this impacts the fantasy value of several Hawks players including John Collins, Danilo Gallinari, Bogdan Bogdanovic and other young guns. Our big risers include a couple of first round players that are probably considered the 2 best fantasy players this season - Nikola Jokic and James Harden. Who would you ra...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (March 01, 2021) - Paul George trending down? What's the trade value of a Jaylen Brown?
March 01, 2021 14:40 - 42 minutes - 39.7 MBEnd of Week 10! Hope your teams are within playoff contention by this time. There are still a lot of fantasy basketball to be played, but this time is the perfect opportunity to make necessary adjustments and make that push for fantasy playoffs. Week 11 would be a long one with the All-Star Break sandwiched between weeks 11a and 11b. As what commish has said in his written quickie, take this ASB as a time to push for trades you'd like to happen to improve your teams. In today's quickie, an ...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 28, 2021) - Levert's coming back? WTF Seth Curry?
February 28, 2021 14:29 - 29 minutes - 27.7 MBFinally, got some connection back! Surprisingly, one player who is reported to be on his way back to recovery is Caris Levert. Many, including us, felt it would take more time before he gets back into action considering the type of injury/illness he has had. But reports today came out that he will soon start practicing with the team and that will be music to the ears of Levert owners that stashed him. Another Pacer who has been in the INJ status, TJ Warren, on the other hand, is reported to ...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 27, 2021) - KD's going to be a headache? Can Draymond Green sustain this?
February 27, 2021 10:47 - 42 minutes - 39.1 MBSince my Internet is still non-existent, we decided to just do an audio only episode because we don't want to miss a day without a quickie! So for today's episode we talked about KD's hamstring injury and what to expect from him moving forward. Nick Nurse and his coaching staff missed a game due to COVID protocols and Toronto's acting coach sneakily inserted Chris Boucher in the starting lineup - something that might continue with Nurse out. Draymond Green has slowly returned to being a fan...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 26, 2021) - Malik Beasley Suspension, more about the schedule plus live Q&A!
February 26, 2021 23:30 - 1 hour - 86.3 MBWe did a live DFQ yesterday (Friday) and it was really fun to be able to interact with you guys! I think we should do more live sessions in the future. Anyway, in our usual quickie, we discussed the Malik Beasley suspension, the Tobias Harris injury and more analysis by Commish Eric on the 2nd half NBA schedule. And of course what will be a live session without Q&As? We answer as much as we can in this Live DFQ which I hope helped. You can also catch the Daily Fantasy Quickie on these plat...
S02E19 - Is Jordan Clarkson a diva? Angelo Kouame's citizenship, plus, NBA All-Star Reserves!
February 26, 2021 23:03 - 1 hour - 49.6 MBIt's the weekly episode of FBW and that means we take a quick break from fantasy basketball discussion to talk real basketball! In this episode we invited Reuben Terrado, lead correspondent of SPIN.PH, to join us as we discuss the latest news in basketball! We kick things off with Vic Manuel's trade from Alaska to Phoenix Fuel Masters and then go through some of the PBA prospects to watch out for in the upcoming draft, which is considered one of the deepest pool of basketball talents. From th...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 25, 2021) - Second half schedule analysis. Should we really trade KAT?
February 25, 2021 12:17 - 40 minutes - 37.2 MBSecond half schedule of the NBA was released today and commish Eric went the extra mile to analyze the schedule against the fantasy playoffs. We discuss some teams that may be at a disadvantage with fewer games come fantasy playoffs. Commish also wrote a more in depth analysis of the schedule in the NBA Fantasy Locker Room Facebook group. Jarrett Allen bullied the small ball Houston Rockets today and he seems to be in for a monster second half of the season. There have been a lot of questio...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 24, 2021) - Is Tyrese Haliburton the ROY? Plus lots of rumors swirling DMC, KP, Drummond.
February 24, 2021 12:52 - 36 minutes - 33.7 MBWe kick off today's DFQ with the rumors surrounding a number of centers - Demarcus Cousins, Kristaps Porzingis and Andre Drummond. It seems like there are no clear destination yet for DMC as the Lakers have said that they are not very interested in signing the former Rockets center. The Dallas Mavericks have been rumored to be testing the trade market for Kristaps Porzingis, though owner Mark Cuban denied this. But as the saying goes, when there's smoke, there's fire and this KP situation lo...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 23, 2021) - DMC to the Lakers? Drop Derrick White?
February 23, 2021 15:02 - 37 minutes - 34.9 MBQuinn Cook was waived by the Los Angeles Lakers today. This might not seem to be an exciting news from the fantasy front but this move has many speculating that Demarcus Cousins will join the Lakers soon. We still don’t know if that will happen so those DMC owners should wait and see as it seems like a change of team for Cousins will happen any day now. The Washington Wizards are on a 5-game winning streak. This is good news for Bradley Beal owners who have been anxious for a possible trade...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 22, 2021) - New T'Wolves coach, who could benefit in fantasy?
February 22, 2021 14:25 - 41 minutes - 38.4 MBFinally, Ryan Saunders was let go by the Minnesota Timberwolves. Is this good? We discuss what will be the fantasy implications of this coaching change to their players. We also talk about their new coach Chris Finch and how his system can benefit players like Karl Anthony-Town, Ricky Rubio, etc. Will young players like Jared Vanderbilt, Jaden McDaniels and Jordan Maclaughlin benefit? A new rookie can stand-out in Detroit with the absence of Delon Wright. We also talk about our big risers -...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 21, 2021) - Where would Demarcus Cousins go? Can Zach Lavine, Terry Rozier sustain this?
February 21, 2021 10:05 - 35 minutes - 32.4 MBSo the biggest news today was probably about Demarcus Cousins and the Houston Rockets plan to part ways. What's weird in this story is that Cousins will still play tomorrow's game and there have been reports that he will continue to play for the Rockets until he either gets waived or traded. From the Houston front, there really aren't many who will benefit from this though except for maybe Christian Wood who is closing in on a return. But, we'll have to wait and see what happens to this stor...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 20, 2021) - Another gem by Embiid! How long can Chris Paul be this good?
February 20, 2021 12:32 - 37 minutes - 34.9 MBIt's a Saturday quickie and Joel Embiid just put out another gem of a line scoring 50 points with a full stat line. He scored an insane 93 fantasy points in DFS play. Not to be outdone, Jamal Murray also scored 50 and has been on fire for the past week! Can he sustain this? Maybe, maybe not. But the Denver Nuggets have been depleted with injuries and Murray took it upon himself to carry the scoring in back court.

S02E18 - FBW x The South Boys on Kai Sotto's chances of making it to the NBA, PBA Trades and NBA All-Star.
February 20, 2021 03:01 - 1 hour - 61.6 MBSince we've been talking about fantasy basketball daily, Eric and I decided to put fantasy basketball talk in the backseat for this weekly episode and talk about real basketball news and updates. And what better way to do this than invite our friends from The South Boys Podcast, Angelo and Tristan, to join us to discuss some hard core basketball stuff. In this episode we dive into the recent PBA trades - CJ Perez for who knows who and Calvin Abueva for Chris Banchero and some picks. We also j...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 19, 2021) - What is Anthony Davis's value in the trade market now?
February 19, 2021 12:45 - 34 minutes - 32.2 MBSince Anthony Davis re-aggravated his achilles injury, there have been a lot of managers selling their ADs. I've seen some really low ball trades and some seemingly good ones as well. In all those trade, one thing is certain, AD's value has dropped significantly. What do you think is a fair return for Davis? Dennis Schroeder is under COVID protocol, making the Los Angeles Lakers a very depleted team. But unlike OKC which we usually refer to as a goldmine of fantasy relevant players, the La...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 18, 2021) - Domantas Sabonis or Julius Randle? Plus some perfect timing trade stories.
February 18, 2021 11:58 - 35 minutes - 33.3 MBLet me just say, I loved this discussion we had for today’s quickie. We started off the episode discussing the new IL+ slot provided by Yahoo Fantasy for players who are under the O, GTD, OFS status. How can leagues utilize this slot and what are the limitations with this new change made in the middle of the season. To be honest, we feel this change came a little too late. A couple of players returned to action - Evan Fournier and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander just as we find out that CJ McCollum...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 17, 2021) - Should we worry about a KAT shutdown?
February 17, 2021 12:54 - 29 minutes - 27.1 MBYou might be surprised we did an all-English episode of the quickie. We had some friends from the NBA Fantasy Locker Room group message us asking if we have an English podcast. So we thought we'd try doing one quickie on English only mode. I hope the episode turned out well. Anyway, regardless if it's in English or Filipino, one thing is certain, we will do our best to talk about the latest fantasy basketball updates. In today's quickie, we discuss the seemingly COVID outbreak with the San ...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 16, 2021) - Andre Drummond, Blake Griffin on the trade block plus live Q&A.
February 16, 2021 18:19 - 1 hour - 63.7 MBSo the biggest news for today isn't about injuries (Thank God!). The Cleveland Cavaliers are now shopping Andre Drummond around and they will no longer let him play until they find a trade partner. How long would that be? We really don't know. What we do know is that Jarrett Allen is back to being the beast he was early in the season. As for Blake Griffin, well, he is not very fantasy-relevant these days and it would be hard to move him so I'm not sure if he is still worth the hold. We also...
