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...]

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...]
