My love for Tyrese Haliburton is well documented, but just for good measure, I wrote up 3K words on why he’ll finish the season as a top-5 player in fantasy hoops

Man, the athleticism, triples, dunks, points... it all pales in comparison to the fact that you have this dope, personalized stationary. A true man of class!
@BillSimmons
6 appearances and 4 chips in 8 seasons and the only two you missed were when Klay was sidelined. If that’s not a dynasty, I’m not sure what is. What’s the bar here? Maybe take homerism out of the analysis next time

Couldn’t be more excited to join the amazing NBA team and contribute to this awesome platform!
At this point, think it’s definitely worth arguing that LeBron/AD in LA was a bad idea for the franchise
The year before LeBron got there, the team had Lonzo, Hart, Ingram, Kuzma and Randle with guys like Caruso, Nance, Thomas Bryant, Jordan Clarkson and Gary Payton II
Notable names to watch in NBA preseason today:
🏀 Mark Williams
🏀 Walker Kessler
🏀 Jeremy Sochan
🏀 Jabari Smith
🏀 Tari Eason
🏀 Simone Fontecchio
🏀 Kai Sotto (NBL)

Celtics in 6. No way Brooklyn gets past this defense and superstars. Tonight’s game against Cleveland showed how easily the Nets can be beaten by a team that shoots well and doesn’t make mistakes

1. Booker 33.7
2. Michael Jordan 33.1

Will he keep the hot streak going against Luka and the Mavs tonight?
Who will be the next player to make the leap into the top-12 in fantasy hoops?

Still confused by the narrative that Stafford has had such a lack of talent around him, while Goff has been playing with HOFers
Throughout his career: Stafford has had Megatron, Kenny G, Golden Tate, Hock = 9 Pro Bowl appearances
Jared Goff: 0 Pro Bowl appearances from WRs/TEs

Which scary early-season performers allayed fears, and who should you add off the waiver wire?
A thread 🏀🧵
@KyleYNFL
But dude, in my league we give .37 points per reception, -21 if the player steps out of bounds in the third quarter, and bonuses for every time a guy does the Griddy. You’re telling me you don’t tailor your rankings for me?? For shame
Playing in a fantasy basketball league with Daryl Morey:
"I'll trade you two bench players, someone I just grabbed off waivers and a dude I'm about to drop for your star PG"
ORLANDO MAGIC - MARKELLE FULTZ
Averaged 13.3 PTS, 7.8 AST, 3.3 REB, 1.3 STL in just 23.3 mpg in final six to close last season
Fully healthy, expect some big numbers in 2022-23
Deni "Grand Slam" Avdija stats this season
With Rui: 23.5 MPG, 7.2 PTS, 5.5 REB, 2 AST, .6 STL, .7 BLK, 41.1 FG%, 73.3 FT%
Without Rui: 29.7 MPG, 9.3 PTS, 6.8 REB, 3.4 AST, 1.1 STL, .7 BLK, 43.7 FG%, 80 FT%
Kuz may be traded, KP is hurt, making Avdija a fantasy hoops must-add
Brandon Clarke (Achilles) is also out indefinitely
Xavier Tillman in 18 games w/o both Clarke and Adams: 10.1 points, 6.5 boards, 2.2 dimes, 1.3 steals, 0.6 blocks, 62.3 FG%
Absolutely worth a look outside the top-100
Santi Aldama and Kenny Lofton in deeper leagues
Guys who totaled at least 70 steals/70 blocks last season:
Giannis
PJ Washington
Matisse Thybulle 👀
RoCo
Nerlens Noel
Guys on that list who shot at least 60% from the field:
Noel

@rotoworld_bk
Looking ahead to fantasy hoops drafts, these guys could be game-changers:
𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐩-𝟏𝟎𝟎:
Austin Reaves
Robert Williams ‼️‼️‼️
Aaron Gordon
Gary Trent Jr.
Bruce Brown
Ben Simmons
Ausar Thompson
Jalen Duren
Shaedon Sharpe
Deni Avdija
Keeping a close eye on Domantas Sabonis tonight:
Took 19 shots Wednesday
4-of-6 from three 👀‼️⁉️
A consistent three-point game could send him into first-round territory
The Pacers are trading Domas Sabonis, Jeremy Lamb and Jeremy Lamb to Sacramento for Tyrese Hailburton, Buddy Hield and Tristan Thompson, sources tell ESPN.
James Robinson's next four opponents: MIA, CIN, HOU, DET - the four most generous teams in the league to opposing rushers. They have combined to allow 187.8 rushing ypg in 2020. Bona fide RB1 until Jags' Week 7 bye. If you're looking for a prime trade target, J-Rob is your man.
This is my 494th (!!) solo article with FantasyPros and my last.
Just want to thank the awesome staff, writers, editors, and others at FantasyPros for taking a chance on me and giving me so many opportunities to grow and succeed in the fantasy space
Cam Thomas is a walking bucket, man. Career-high 44 points and counting. You absolutely love to see it. Make sure to add this dude in fantasy hoops leagues wherever he’s available.
