FSR Reviews the NBA Trade Deadline
Undoubtedly, this will go down as one of the greatest trade deadlines ever. And as much as the flurry of trades we've seen this month will change the landscape of the NBA, they will also have a huge impact on your fantasy league. So without further ado, here's the FSR review of the NBA trade deadline (note: I didn't include [read more...]
Most improved players
Now on to the good stuff. These are the guys you call your friends and brag about. Does it matter that you got lucky by picking them up? Nope. The only thing that matters is that if you have a guy on this list, you're smarter than your friend (or at least better at fantasy basketball). PG-Jose Calderon, Toronto Raptors It's unfortunate [read more...]
Most disappointing players
I always like to hear the bad news first, so before we here at FSR get to the most improved players tomorrow, we'll start with our list of most disappointing players midway though this fantasy basketball season. As a note, I tried not to include guys who seasons are disappointing only because of injury (like Agent Zero and D. Wade). PG-Kirk [read more...]
Paying attention to the schedule
I just wanted to expand a bit on this column I mentioned in Monday's FSR Daily that breaks down the second-half NBA schedule. What's that you said? Do I really have to pay attention to the schedule in fantasy basketball? Let's take a look. NBA teams normally play between two and four games a week. I like to break up players [read more...]

Five Potential Pickups
1. Jamario Moon, Toronto Raptors Moon has been starting for a while now, so you should know the name already. What you may not know is that his shooting percentage is consistently rising (43.8 in November, 44.3 in December and 52.6 through four games this January). He's also providing 1.7 blocks and 6.4 rebounds per game. In deep leagues if he's [read more...]
How important is pace factor?
By now you should already about how important pace factor can be when filling out your team's roster. Players from the league's more hectic-paced teams--Suns, Warriors, Pacers and Nuggets--often provide better production than players from the league's slower-paced teams--Spurs, Pistons and Blazers--simply because their teams have more possessions per game. But how much of a difference are we talking about? Is [read more...]

Poker sites for US players are somewhat hard to come by these days. Aside from the big ones, PokerStars and Full Tilt, mainly smaller, fairly unknown sites are available to Americans. It s a good idea to read a poker room review before you sign up with a site you don t know very much about.
