Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 15, 2021) - Aaanndd AD goes down! How to recover if AD misses time?
February 15, 2021 14:07 - 36 minutes - 33.7 MBThat escalated quickly. Four days ago we were just talking about Anthony Davis and his injury. Being an AD owner I was torn between him playing now to save my fantasy team or him taking a bit more time to rest so as not to aggravate his injury. Today, AD played. I was quite happy as he started really well, then after playing 14 minutes, the moment we AD owners dreaded happened. He re-aggravated his achilles injury. The good news, it looks like it is not torn and he would most likely return. ...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 14, 2021) - Should I get rid of RJ Barrett? McConnell wins commish a DFS League
February 14, 2021 12:54 - 28 minutes - 26.5 MBIt’s Valentine’s Day! We are back to spread more love to you guys with our usual fantasy quickie! The timetable for Mitch Robinson’s recovery from fractured hand was set to 4-6 weeks. This is a few weeks before fantasy playoffs, so we expect managers to hold on to him. Nerlens Noel surprisingly played 32 minutes and gave modest numbers which did not excite owners. But at least the minutes are there. One Knick who has slowly trended down is RJ Barrett. Personally, I really don’t like Barret...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 13, 2021) - The Luka vs Harden Debate.
February 13, 2021 16:08 - 35 minutes - 33.2 MBJust when Mitch Robinson was having a great game, the injury gods had to throw some curveball. Robinson suffered a fractured hand and will definitely miss time. We’re just not sure for how long. This means Nerlens Noel gets another opportunity to produce. How much time Thibs gives him, we are not sure, but hopefully he’ll get at least 20 minutes and that’s enough time for Noel to be fantasy relevant. Kevin Love. Well, what’s to say about this guy. There is some chance he plays next week, bu...
S02E17 - Add/Drop Strategies plus more DFS Tips
February 12, 2021 22:48 - 1 hour - 64.7 MBWe've had a lot of questions about adding/dropping players so we thought of inviting our group's "Pick-up Artist" in fantasy basketball. Our friend Reagan does not like trading in fantasy basketball (ironically, he is a full-time stock market trader in real life), so he thrives with just adding/dropping players from the waiver while maximizing the moves in his league. In this episode we talked strategies when adding players, when to drop players, his preferences when adding or dropping injure...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 12, 2021) - My Curry is just too hot! And the Butler we need.
February 12, 2021 16:38 - 31 minutes - 29.3 MBSteph Curry was in his element once again giving his fantasy owners another game to be happy about. Curry is shooting 49% FG and 93% FT. These are insane percentages! Looks like he is on his way back to fantasy dominance. Another almost forgotten fantasy stud, Jimmy Butler, did not need any acting today to get those triple double numbers (I'm disappointed though - 0 steals!). Butler is proving why he still is one of the top fantasy players in the league as he slowly rises in the rankings aft...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 11, 2021) - Should we trade Anthony Davis? Possible Lowry trade.
February 11, 2021 12:06 - 37 minutes - 34.4 MBThe KAT is out! Well, out on the court! Finally! KAT played well and he looked good so if you were able to survive the weeks waiting for this moment, congratulations. It’s now time to get KAT going and hopefully give us the fantasy stat line we are all expecting from him. One top tiered player who is out again is Anthony Davis. We talk about AD’s nagging achilles injury. We are a bit worried, but still hopeful he can get back healthy and produce. Are you also worried about AD? We’re worried ...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 10, 2021) - Is DRose a must own with the Knicks? The danger of Malik Beasley's situation.
February 10, 2021 15:21 - 40 minutes - 37.7 MBIt’s a chill quickie for today, it was so chill that we did not notice we reached 40 minutes of fantasy basketball discussion. We hope you won’t find the discussion too long. In this quickie, we talk about Derrick Rose’s first game in his return to the Knicks, the sentencing of Malik Beasley, fantasy season ending injury of Deandre Hunter and a Jaylen Brown trade that I recently had to decide on. Are you still holding on to Hassan Whiteside? Should we still be holding Whiteside? We’re worr...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 09, 2021) - Dejounte stole the show! Coby White, PJ Wash downtrend.
February 09, 2021 14:25 - 31 minutes - 29.1 MBWell, the injuries keep piling up as Chris Paul (hamstring), Kyle Lowry (back), Jrue Holiday (health protocol) and D'Angelo Russell (leg) were either out or played very little minutes due to injuries. This presents a bunch of opportunities for players filling up for the injured players and it is important to always be ready to add streamers that could benefit from their absence. Dejounte Murray nearly got a triple double as he swiped his way to 8 steals! Commish and I also discussed the hie...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 08, 2021) - Injuries Galore - PG13, Hunter, Nance. Rose-Thibs Reunion.
February 08, 2021 14:09 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MBDerrick Rose reunites with Tom Thibodeau, could we see Rose get back to fantasy relevance? Who benefits and who loses fantasy value? A number of injuries were reported today, and most of these will probably not make their managers happy. Paul George has a foot injury that could sideline him for some time. Deandre Hunter underwent knee surgery and could be out for 3-4 weeks. Larry Nance is also out for 4 weeks. Mike Conley is out for maybe a few games, though his injury does not seem as seri...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 07, 2021) - Holy Jokic! Boucher, Holmes and Seth back to fantasy relevance. Ja Morant trending down?
February 07, 2021 12:18 - 40 minutes - 37.7 MBSo much to talk about in this Sunday quickie! We started off with our FBW Idol Statline Players of the Day - Nikola Jokic and Steph Curry. But we couldn’t help but marvel at the gem Draymond Green put up today. A couple of weeks ago we were quite on the fence with Green, but since the James Wiseman injury, he has been proving us wrong. Green is definitely a keeper. Derrick Rose is sure to traded, and New York is the front-runner. For now we’ll wait and see what happens with that. We had a b...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 06, 2021) - KD's pulled out of game, but why?! OKC's a gold mine of possible streamers.
February 06, 2021 10:45 - 28 minutes - 26.2 MBAnother weird COVID-related thing happened today that frustrated some KD managers. Prior to their game, KD was iffy to play due to COVID protocols. He was then allowed to play, but was pulled out in the middle of the third quarter again due to health protocols. Not only did this frustrate KD managers, but also KD himself. Let's see what happens next. Hopefully he won't need to miss more games. Theo Maledon, one of our favorite short term streaming option out of OKC also got into COVID protoc...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 05, 2021) - Mayday, Mayday AD's not right. Christian Wood's ankle sprain, time for DMC?
February 06, 2021 05:46 - 57 minutes - 53.3 MBWe went live yesterday for our usual quickie and answered some questions from you guys! It was sure fun! Something's not right with AD right? If not for the steals and blocks, he has been quite a disappointment. I hope it's just some case of championship hangover. Christian Wood got bit by the dreaded injury bug and his injury would most likely cause him to miss time, probably lots of time. This could be the opportunity Demarcus Cousins owners have been stashing him for. There could be othe...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 04, 2021) - Lamarcus still on our minds, drop him or hold? Possible gold mine in OKC?
February 04, 2021 12:08 - 28 minutes - 26.8 MBOkay, I know you are tired of talking about LMA, but hey, for a player you picked probably in the 3rd, 4th or 5th round and currently performing outside of the top 100, it is worrying. Just when we thought he was slowly picking it up, he will get shelved for a few games. So what should we do? Check the full pod to find out. At least John Collins is slowly picking it up as he has sneaked into just outside top 30. The OKC Thunder with a string of injuries to their core players might be the sw...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 03, 2021) - FVV in the House! The Boucher Dilemma and a lot more tips!
February 03, 2021 15:39 - 33 minutes - 31.4 MBIt's always a question being asked in a lot of fantasy groups - should I drop Chris Boucher? In this quickie we talk about the high upside, low playing time Raptor. What should we do with him? Another Raptor we talked about in the past quickies for poor performances and a possible buy low player played his best game in the NBA - Fred Vanvleet! Robert Covington also played his best game as a Blazer - a long time wait for his managers. Hopefully it's the start of the old RoCo we expect. Aside...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 02, 2021) - Should I drop Aaron Gordon now? Collins, Ayton slowly trending up.
February 02, 2021 12:49 - 27 minutes - 25.7 MBAfter that awesome Jump Through Hoops episode, it's time for Tuesday's Daily Fantasy Quickie. We kick things off with some injury updates - Aaron Gordon will be out 4-6 weeks. Who do you think comes back from injury first Gordon or Caris Levert? What to do if you have a Gordon in your lineup? PJ Washington got injured this morning and this is something his owners will be anxiously waiting for a timeline. And lastly on the injury front, Jaren Jackson Jr. is still not ready to take the court, ...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (February 01, 2021) - Should you trade Westbrook now? Is Jarrett Allen a drop?
February 01, 2021 13:20 - 31 minutes - 29 MBIt's the love month! And some love was given to Marcus Smart owners after reports came in that he will only miss 1-2 weeks due to calf strain. Pascal Siakam owners are also quite happy with another good performance after a string of missed games and lackluster showing. Russell Westbrook took advantage of Brooklyn's poor defense and exploded for 41 points with usual counting stats and nice percentages. Is this a time to sell Westbrook? Anthony Edwards and Joe Ingles are balling of late, whil...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 31, 2021) - Dame Time! Jimmy's Buckets is back! Is Zion trending up?
January 31, 2021 11:57 - 29 minutes - 26.9 MBWe did not discuss much about this in the quickie, but did you guys see that game winner by Dame Lillard?! My goodness! Really good defense but much better offense there. He is currently top 4 fantasy player for 9-cat league and really giving his owners a lot to cheer about. The one guy who finally got to play and make his owners relieved and happy is Jimmy Butler. After being out due to COVID, Butler was rumored to have lost 12 pounds which got some owners worried. After today's game, we're...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 30, 2021) - Is it time to add Hassan Whiteside?
January 30, 2021 12:42 - 35 minutes - 32.9 MBIn today's quickie, we discussed the surprising inclusion of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George to the Clippers roster after being under the COVID protocol. That got a lot of managers scrambling to get them in their rosters in time for today's game. The biggest question though for today is: Is it time to ride the Hassan Whiteside train once again? Whiteside teased us with two good games in less than 20 minutes. Today though might be mostly due to Richaun Holmes' foul woes. But the upside is just ...
S02E16 - Trade Rumors (Beal, Drummond, Lonzo, etc) and their Fantasy Impact
January 30, 2021 00:19 - 1 hour - 65.5 MBA lot of trade rumors in the NBA have already been circulating social media the past few days so we decided to look into them and assess what will be the impact fantasy-wise of these trades in case they do happen. We talked about Bradley Beal, Andre Drummond, Kevin Love, Lonzo Ball and a few more. Of course like any of our weekly shows, we invited a couple of new found friends, Benny Benitez of pinoyliga.com and Joao Pablo, to share their thoughts on these rumors. One thing really nice about...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 29, 2021) - What to do with our problem children - Draymond, Oubre, Schroeder, Cousins?
January 29, 2021 11:28 - 35 minutes - 32.8 MBThank God it's Friday!!! In this quickie we talk about some of our problem players. We started off with the Lakers' Dennis Schroeder and Montrezl Harrell, then the disappointing situation Demarcus Cousins is in. Did you see how bad Kelly Oubre was this morning? He seems to be back to his struggling ways...will this be the Oubre we should expect for the rest of the year? And what about Draymond Green, what value is left with him in fantasy? The Washington Wizards are slowly getting their pla...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 28, 2021) - What's up Boucher? Will Andre Drummond be moved?
January 28, 2021 11:03 - 37 minutes - 35.1 MBThere were a number of good news especially for managers who own Derrick White, Domantas Sabonis and Al Horford. Then there is Pascal Siakam who returned from a mild injury and posted another disappointing stat line. Add him to a list of disappointing all-star level players. Well, at least John Collins and Lamarcus Aldridge gave their owners something to be happy about. Derrick White is about to return so he should no longer be lurking around your free agent pool. We also talked about the po...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 27, 2021) - Should you trade James Harden? We've been victimized by the Bubble studs!
January 27, 2021 15:00 - 34 minutes - 32.1 MBRemember the NBA Bubble that ended the 2019-2020 season? Remember how good players like Jamal Murray and Donovan Mitchell were? Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but we've been victimized by the bubble performances. Tell us, which bubble stud is living up to the hype? I don't know about you, but we couldn't think of anyone. Oh well. Let's talk about James Harden. Commish Eric has been receiving a lot of questions about trading James Harden, so we decided to set the record straight, well, w...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 26, 2021) - Luka's Perfect! Kawhi and PG13 on protocols and should Wiseman come off the bench?
January 26, 2021 13:12 - 31 minutes - 29.2 MBI can't believe that it has been 5 weeks and we have yet to talk about Luka Doncic! Well, if he shoots his free throws like he did today, we'll probably notice him more. Free throws is the one aspect in his game that many fantasy managers dislike about Luka, and this year he has been pretty decent averaging 76%. Just last week he averaged 80% on his free throws. If keeps this up and add a steal or a block a game, he'll be a fantasy stud who will definitely be worthy of a top 5 ranking (he's ...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 25, 2021) - Remember the Wizards? My, my, Myles Turner! Oh, Oh OG Anunoby!
January 25, 2021 13:07 - 30 minutes - 28.7 MBI'm not sure if you still remember, but the Washington Wizards are still part of the NBA and they finally played their first game today after a string of postponements in the past couple of weeks due to COVID outbreak and protocols. We look into the players to use as they slowly get their core players back. If you are a Myles Turner and OG Anunoby owner, rejoice as they gave us some fine fantasy stat line today with those steals and blocks numbers. We also talk about a couple of players who ...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 24, 2021) - Joel Embiid or Nikola Jokic?
January 24, 2021 10:14 - 31 minutes - 28.9 MBHappy Sunday everyone! In today's quickie, we got tired of talking about underperforming centers so we decided to honor the centers who are overachieving versus their ADPs and other late first rounders who have leapfrogged the early to mid round picks. We focus our attention on Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokic. Without taking into consideration the injury risk, who would you want to own moving forward? For sure Jokic will get most of the votes here but commish Eric makes his case for Embiid who ...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 23, 2021) - Captain Capela swats the Wolves! Low-key Kawhi is still a fantasy stud! Capela or Ayton?
January 23, 2021 12:33 - 31 minutes - 29.1 MBCaptain Capela is the story of the day! After his 27 points, 26 rebounds and 5 blocks effort in his last game, Clint Capela followed up with a rare triple double 13 points, 19 rebounds and 10 BLOCKS! His managers sure are quite happy with the way he is playing. As for the rest of us, let's be thankful if he is not in our opponent's team for this week. Trae Young also came back to life after a string of poor performances over the past few weeks and John Collins, well, there's really not much ...
S02E15 - Commish Votes or League Votes on Trading? Is it ok to pull out from a trade? Plus other Fantasy Etiquettes.
January 23, 2021 00:03 - 1 hour - 60.7 MBWe all know Fantasy Basketball is a game, a competition and aside from the usual rules that are set by your fantasy basketball platforms, what other non-written rules should be followed? Is it right to pull out from a trade when a player being traded in fantasy gets injured/traded? Is it okay for competing managers to agree on sitting out players just to preserve the score in H2H battle even before the judgement day? How do you deal with players being "accidentally" dropped? Should a trade re...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 22, 2021) - De'Aaron Fox or CP3? A bunch of sell high/buy low players and the winner of our suprise contest!
January 22, 2021 11:33 - 35 minutes - 32.6 MBFirst off, thanks for joining our impromptu/surprise contest today! We hope to do more contests or "pakulo" in the future. Congratulations as well to the winner...check out who won at the start of the quickie. On to the quickie. We look at a bunch of players in the buy low/sell high tiers as well as the waiver pickups (owned in less than 40%) and drop players. We also look into a few trade options for these buy low/sell high guys that you may want to target. Eric threw in a couple of hot ta...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 21, 2021) - The Return of Kyrie, the Allen vs Drummond minutes and our surprise contest!
January 21, 2021 11:17 - 32 minutes - 29.6 MBNice to see some players returning from injury put up some great stat lines, but none was greater than Clint Capela’s! He was in our trending up list, but like what commish Eric said, we never expected something like this. There were also a couple of firsts today that had fantasy managers observing keenly. It’s the first time the Brooklyn Nets’ Big 3 shared the same ball. The results were nice for all three stars, but then again it was a double overtime game so the numbers could be bloated ...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 20, 2021) - Who benefits the Myles Turner Injury?
January 20, 2021 15:40 - 23 minutes - 21.7 MBSorry for another late upload, I was out this afternoon and dated my wife for dinner so it was tough to squeeze in editing and uploading. Nonetheless, here is your Daily Fantasy Quickie! In today's quickie we discuss the beneficiaries of the Myles Turner injury (though this seems like a short-term one) and why we are a bit worried about Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram. With just 2 games in the slate, there wasn't much to discuss really. Oh, we were supposed to throw in a contest for you guy...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 19, 2021) - Cam Johnson or Jae Crowder? Drop or Keep DMC/Blake?
January 19, 2021 15:10 - 37 minutes - 34.3 MBLooks like the excitement of CJ McCollum owners on his hot start will be short-lived as his foot injury will sideline him for about a month and based from Eric’s research that is probably the best case scenario. We also look into the Cam Johnson/Jae Crowder position battle in Phoenix after they made some surprising lineup changes in today’s game. Washington looks to be doing the herd immunity strategy in fighting COVID as their COVID positive count reached 7. And is it time to move on fr...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 18, 2021) - Rookie watch: Maxey, Quickley and Tillman. Is Nerlens Noel turning it around?
January 18, 2021 13:31 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MBI had a pretty good week in fantasy, despite the setbacks in some of my teams with KAT and Nurk going down. My losses weren't as lopsided except for one so that felt good considering the PPDs this week. To be honest, as commish Eric and I do our daily quickies and weekly podcasts, I feel my fantasy game is improving bit by bit (the bar is not high really). Our discussion also gives me ideas on possible trade scenarios and potential long term pickups. I hope our listeners are feeling the same...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 17, 2021) - Drop LMA? Hope for the best for Levert and Harden's Back!
January 17, 2021 14:14 - 28 minutes - 26.3 MB*sigh* Another Lamarcus disappointment. Today was even worse as Jakob Poeltl outplayed LMA not only in minutes played but in stats provided. We don’t even know if it’s a buy low “opportunity” still, but with 13 games in, it seems like the expectations should be lowered. Hopefully he won’t end up in the DROP list. Though I won’t be surprised if he did. John Collins is another guy who is putting up uninspiring numbers and Commissioner Eric explains the problem with Collins and the Hawks. Cari...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 16, 2021) - KAT's got COVID, Kyrie's coming back and the problem that is Trae Young.
January 16, 2021 12:04 - 27 minutes - 25.5 MBAnother day another COVID casualty. It is quite unfortunate what COVID has done to Karl Anthony-Towns. As if seven family members, including his mom were not enough, now it is KAT who will fight his own battle against the virus. I know fantasy managers are frustrated, but let's just hope he recovers and comes back better. Well, Kyrie's coming back, but the Nets play without James Harden just yet, so we'll have to wait a little longer before we see the Brooklyn's Big 3 in action. How are you ...
S02E14 - What to do when your fantasy team is at the bottom of the standings?
January 16, 2021 06:00 - 35 minutes - 27.4 MBThis was a topic that was suggested by one of the supporters of the pod. If your fantasy basketball team is now sitting at the bottom of the standings, what can you do to slowly rise back up and contend for a playoff spot? We make some suggestions on how to assess your performance and what moves you can make. It is not easy, but it is not impossible as well. At times the challenge of moving up from the bottom becomes far more fulfilling than sitting comfortably at the top. Okay, I said that b...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 15, 2021) - Nurkic, Westbrook goes down! Ja Morant ready to go? Live Q&A.
January 15, 2021 23:07 - 1 hour - 57.6 MBNurk Alert! Well not a good kind of alert as Nurkic tried to get his fantasy owners a nice block which ended up in him getting injured and will now be out for at least 8 weeks. Just as he was trending up our fantasy radar. It's been a roller coaster season for Nurkic owners, but injuries are a part of the game and we just have to deal with it and find ways to compensate the loss - making this game more exciting! Russell Westbrook also suffered a setback and is reportedly out for 3-4 weeks. T...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 14, 2021) - Harden finally traded, who wins?
January 14, 2021 12:30 - 31 minutes - 29.1 MBWhat a day! Just yesterday, commissioner Eric and I were talking about James Harden and the best case scenario for him and his fantasy managers was for him to be traded. Today, we woke up to the news that James Harden was traded to the Brooklyn Nets! So for our quickie, we look at the Harden trade and how it impacts the players involved. Who wins and who loses fantasy-wise? What impact will this have to Harden's fantasy value given that he'll be playing along side Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irvi...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 13, 2021) - Do you keep or trade James Harden?
January 13, 2021 13:26 - 26 minutes - 24.6 MBIn today's quickie, we discuss the dilemma of having James Harden on your fantasy team. As we all know, Harden wants to be traded and with Houston, his fantasy value seems to have dipped as he continues to play uninspired basketball. He really wants out but the whole NBA seems to be quite busy fighting COVID among its players. So what should we do if we own James Harden? If you don't have Harden, are you still willing to take the risk of trading for him? You can also catch the Daily Fantasy...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 12, 2021) - Where's Kyrie? Nurkic sucks AND injured! Double Whammy! We went live!
January 12, 2021 16:08 - 32 minutes - 30.4 MBSince it was a late recording, we decided to just go live on our Facebook page today for our Daily Fantasy Quickie! We talked Kyrie Irving and how to deal with his "disappearance". Jusuf Nurkic's double whammy situation - not performing AND now injured! Such as disappointment. We also discussed Deandre Ayton's poor showing with some frustration from commish Eric. We also answered some of the questions that were posted while live. We'll probably do more live quickies in the coming weeks sinc...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 11, 2021) - Porzingis nearing return, is it time to drop Anthony Edwards?
January 11, 2021 14:06 - 22 minutes - 20.6 MBWeek 3 Judgement Day! Boston versus Miami game got postponed and I hope that did not kill your hopes of winning your week's matchup. Kristaps Porzingis could make his debut tomorrow, so at least there's that to look forward to and of course week 4! If your team lost week 3, it's time to get back on track. In our quickie, we talk about the usual buys, and feel good players from today's performances and a few players we're worried about including this year's first overall pick Anthony Edwards....
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 10, 2021) - Lamelo Ball'n, COVID and Injuries, Trae's trending down?
January 10, 2021 12:48 - 33 minutes - 31.5 MBHappy Sunday guys! COVID once again headlined the day with one of the more high-profile pick in Jayson Tatum testing positive this morning which would now force him to miss all their games in the next 10-14 days. Bradley Beal, who has been rumored to have dined out with Tatum yesterday, also missed today's game as part of the COVID protocol. The biggest blow however was not the COVID cases today but the injuries to Thomas Bryant of Washington and Atlanta's Bogdan Bogdanovic - both would most...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 09, 2021) - Trouble brewing for Trae Young and the Hawks? More COVID Casualties!
January 09, 2021 14:55 - 39 minutes - 37 MBNews broke that the Atlanta Hawks' players are "complaining" about how Trae Young's poor playmaking/facilitating. Even his supposed partner-in-crime John Collins has been reported to have "called out" the star point guard. Two things can happen in this situation, one is the team implodes into a complete mess or two they take these things seriously and figure out what's best for them to win. So watch how this develops. Meanwhile, new players were placed under COVID protocols and from fans lik...
S02E13 - Getting your Fantasy Basketball Game to the Next Level
January 09, 2021 05:21 - 1 hour - 65.7 MBWanna get your game to the next level? In this episode of the podcast we invited a fantasy addict who I personally consider the best kept secret expert in the fantasy basketball world. Our guest, Max Visaya, shared hard core tips on how to get your fantasy basketball game to the next level. From trading tips, to scouting your opponents' team to weekly planning we covered them all. Though Max admits there are still a lot to talk about, but what he shared here I'm sure will be very helpful espe...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 08, 2021) - Finally LMA!!! COVID strikes what now?
January 08, 2021 12:35 - 34 minutes - 32 MBWhat seemed to be just another ordinary day of NBA games, turned out to be quite an eventful one. Seth Curry, a player we just felt good about yesterday, tested positive for COVID just in time for the Philadelphia 76ers' tipoff versus the Brooklyn Nets. Curry was sidelined for this game but he was on the bench before being informed of the positive test. This then puts a lot of things in jeopardy and we had some lengthy discussion on what could happen next. We'll probably find out later tonig...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 07, 2021) - Injuries strike again! Which rookie could be that diamond in the rough?
January 07, 2021 12:51 - 34 minutes - 31.8 MBIt's a very eventful day in the fantasy basketball world with 11 scheduled games in the NBA! The good - Bradley Beal goes berserk! Steven Adams shows some tricks he may have gotten from Russell Westbrook. Another Curry takes the stage and Marvin Bagley boosts his trade value! The bad - Markelle Fultz out for the season which I should say really made me sad. The guy just couldn't catch a break! The silver lining in this is that he just signed a new deal, so at least there's that. De'Aron ...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 06, 2021) - Is Jarrett Allen's breakout for real? PG13 for Sabonis and Fox?
January 06, 2021 12:14 - 29 minutes - 27.3 MBFirst off, apologies for the bad audio, I had some problems with my microphone after the intros. Anyway, it is high time we talk about probably the # 1 fantasy player so far...Nikola Jokic! Jokic is averaging a triple double with really good percentages and high defensive stats. Now would you trade James Harden for Jokic? We also discussed Jarrett Allen's breakout - can he sustain this or is it just another fluke week that will eventually end up in a disappointing season? Of course our quic...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 05, 2021) - Jayson Tatum is heating up! Is TimeLord worth your waiver priority?
January 05, 2021 14:23 - 29 minutes - 27.3 MBWe hired some cuteness to do our intro for a change. Hope you liked that! Anyway, we had some Jayson Tatum, Fred Vanvleet in our quickie and more Julius Randle. Can Randle continue his impressive fantasy run? Once again, the Olynyk once a season streak has begun. Pick him up while he's hot. And is Time Lord worth your waiver priority? Finally, where is Delon Wright? Oh and of course, trade Marvin Bagley III! You can also catch the Daily Fantasy Quickie on these platforms: Apple Podcast: h...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 04, 2021) - Who's the best PG in the NBA? Steph Curry proved something today.
January 04, 2021 13:49 - 25 minutes - 23.5 MBKendrick Perkins last month said Damian Lillard is the best point guard in the NBA. Today, Steph Curry showed us why the best PG debate, well should still be debated. Curry shot the lights out en route to a 62 point performance. And as always with Curry, it was exciting to watch especially for his fantasy owners. Aside from Steph, commissioner Eric points out the under the radar averages of his brother Seth. We also talked about Paul George and the seemingly trending up centers of the Washi...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 03, 2021) - What's wrong with Pascal Siakam? Demarcus Dilemma.
January 03, 2021 12:37 - 34 minutes - 31.8 MBOne day before week 2 judgement day and we briefly talked about commissioner Eric's double 9-0 massacre in our two leagues. The challenge of doing an auction draft. In our FBW segment we discussed the resurgence of John Wall and Clint Capela and why Chris Boucher should be a keep. Who's the better add Justin Holiday or Doug Mcdermott? We also look into the struggles of Pascal Siakam, the dilemma of owning Demarcus Cousins and the down trending Al Horford. Good luck on your week 2 judgement ...
Daily Fantasy Quickie (January 02, 2021) - We talk Book, Buckets, Airplane, more SloMo and the Brick Twins of Charlotte.
January 02, 2021 10:45 - 32 minutes - 30.3 MBFinally, AD and Dame shows up! Oh and Deandre Ayton plays his best game so far, hopefully that becomes a trend. Jaylen Brown and CJ Mccollum are still on fire while Terry Rozier and Devonte Graham threw bricks all night. Jusuf Nurkic is still not close to 2nd round or even 3rd round value, and Devin Booker and Jimmy Butler adds to the list of our worries. Injuries are still plenty, with rookies Tyrese Haliburton and James Wiseman (both not too serious) joining the list of players that could...
