This week, the biggest name on the list of trade targets is LeBron James, who’s return from an abdomen strain last week was quickly interrupted by the incident he had with Isiah Stewart of the Pistons.

As we head into Week 6 of the fantasy basketball regular season, rookie Cade Cunningham is beginning to showcase why the Detroit Pistons selected him first in the NBA Draft. Kyle Kuzma and LeBron James, now on different teams, have advantageous matchups against the four different teams they are playing next week. Here are some players to start and sit heading into Week 6, powered by our Fantasy Basketball Defensive Rankings.
Teams Playing four games: Charlotte Hornets, Milwaukee Bucks, New Orleans Pelicans, Detroit Pistons, Los Angeles Lakers, Utah Jazz, Sacramento Kings, Indiana Pacers, Memphis Grizzlies, Orlando Magic, Boston Celtics, Atlanta Hawks, Phoenix Suns, Washington Wizards, Chicago Bulls.
Talented players are becoming less available on the waiver wire as we head into Week 6 of the fantasy basketball season. The Lakers' Horton-Tucker is an example of someone who was widely available at the beginning of the week, but is virtually unavailable now. However, there are still some players who can help you gain an edge over your opponents. Terrence Ross, Cam Reddish, and Kevin Love are this week's best available pickups as you prepare for Week 6 of NBA action.
There isn't too much breaking or tragic news for players this week. With Luka Doncic suffering a sprained ankle, we will take a look at the guards who should see an uptick in playing time in his absence. Doncic isn't the only big name who is dealing with an injury. LeBron should be returning in the coming days, while Kris Middleton just suited up after a multi-game absence for the Bucks. Nikola Vucevic and Joel Embiid will be out for longer periods of time. Let's dive in!
As we dive into Week 5 of the NBA regular season, deciphering which players are worth trading for or away can become tricky. The fluctuation in players’ trade values is becoming less evident to decipher. This week, we’ll take a look at some of the players you should target over others. Young guards like Jordan Poole and Tyrese Haliburton are examples of players whose trade value dipped over the last week bringing their trade values below players who are simply not as fantasy efficient. The undervalued wings this week are Khris Middleton, who will be returning from COVID-19 protocols this week, and Nassir Little, who is starting to take Robert Covington’s minutes. Veteran Nikola Vuscevic is also returning from COVID-19 protocols and will be highly motivated to improve his underwhelming efficiency on the floor in order to contribute to the cruising Chicago Bulls offense.
With Week 5 of NBA action about to take off, we're bringing you our first edition of starts and sits this season at Fantasy SP. Efficiency from Malcolm Brogdon, Tyler Herro, and DeMar DeRozan are sure to bring you some major production this week whether you are in a points or category leagues. In contrast, it's probably for the best if you keep Saddiq Bey and Mitchell Robinson on the bench this week. Let's dive in!
Shooters Kevin Huerter and Luke Kennard share the spotlight with big men Thomas Bryant and Daniel Theis as waiver wire targets all available in more than 50% of fantasy leagues. Veterans Jae Crowder and George Hill are also widely available, both playing approximately 30 minutes per game and doing so efficiently. Here are some of the best available players on waivers to consider entering Week 5 of the fantasy basketball season.
We are in the fourth week of NBA action and some big names have landed on the injury list, including LeBron James, Jaylen Brown, and even Joel Embiid with COVID-19. Let’s take an in-depth look at our Week 4 fantasy basketball injury report.
With COVID-19 striking the NBA and players heading to the IR, veterans like Andre Drummond and Ricky Rubio share the spotlight for this week's hottest trade targets. Here are this week's trade value targets to buy low or sell high.
With injuries in the league becoming a more pervasive issue as we head into the weekend of Week 3 of the regular season, some bench players owned by less than 55% of fantasy basketball teams are beginning to make a serious case to be picked up off of waivers. Here are your weekly fantasy basketball waiver-wire pickups.
By the way, I hope you considered my advice about PG Jallen Brunson yesterday; he lit up at the AT&T Center in San Antonio for 31 points (9 - 17 FG), 10 rebounds, and 2 steals and contributed substantially to the 109-108 road win for the Dallas Mavericks. What a game that was.
