Stat’s All, Folks: Redd Is Back!
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Disses, H2H, Injuries, Props, Rookies, Roto, Site Features, Waiver Pick Ups,
Thanks to All-Star weekend, there is a small sample size of games to draw from, so I’ll tweak it up a bit this week by highlighting players and giving you blurbs for each one. There will be no suggestions for players to keep an eye on or ones you shouldn’t believe the hype for. However, I think you’ll live and all will still be well in your fantasy basketball world… unless you own Dwyane Wade. Read on at your own discretion, but you may need some tissues.
Statistics are from February 16th – February 22nd
POINTSBULLISH
Michael Redd, SG, Milwaukee Bucks
Last Week’s Numbers of Note: 2 G; 27.5 PPG; 43.5 FG%; 72.7 FT%
Much to the relief of the Bucks and many fantasy owners alike, Redd is back on the court and he’s pretty much picking up where he left off. It was a little bit shaky in Redd’s first game back as he “only” scored 17 points shooting an ugly 7-for-18 from the field, but his performance the following night allayed any fear. On the second night of a back-to-back, Redd scored 38 points in 40 minutes, including hitting six three-pointers. That performance shows that Redd may be getting his game legs and wrists back sooner than later.

Dime Day: Four Quarters of New York Knicks
Posted by Alvin Lai Categories: Atlantic Division, New York Knicks, Disses, H2H, Props, Rookies, Roto, Site Features, Talent,
Every so often on Dime Day, “Four Quarters” will feature one particular NBA team, going ten players deep into their roster. Whether it’s a small tidbit of news on the bench-warmers, or an opportunity to give major props to the all-stars around the league, as always we slant it towards the fantasy side of life.
Thanks to Dennis Velasco for the assist this week. He gave me some local tidbits of information on his beloved Knicks. So let’s dig into the Knicks roster and see what’s happening

Stat’s All, Folks: Just Like Mickey D’s, I’m Loving Chris Bosh
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Disses, H2H, Injuries, Props, Rookies, Roto, Rumors, Site Features, Talent, Trades, Waiver Pick Ups,
Stat’s All Folks will be a week-to-week stock market look at the standard cumulative categories – points, assists, rebounds, three-pointers made, steals, and blocks. I’ll be calling out the “bulls” and “bears” in each category, in order to help you assess your portfolio of players on your fantasy basketball team(s) and whether you should sell, hold, and/or diversify your assets.
Note that you won’t always see the superstar player written about in this column, otherwise it would be LeBron James or Steve Nash every week. So, check out who’s bullish and who’s bearish coming into the week.
Statistics are from February 1 - February 8
POINTS
BULLISH
Chris Bosh, PF/C, Toronto Raptors
Last Week’s Numbers of Note: 3 G; 30.7 PPG; 51.8 FG%; 87.2 FT%
Next weekend Bosh will be going to the All-Star game for the first time in his career as a starter (Thanks, Mark!). And looking at the trends for this season and his career, it won’t be the only time. In the past week, CB4 has flexed his scoring muscle like he owned Hulk Hogan’s 24-inch pythons! Check the scoring average trend for each month: November – 20.5 in 15 games; December – 20.5 in four games; January – 25.4 in 15 games; and 30.7 in three games thus far this month. In his last game, Bosh scored a career-high 41 points in a Young Beasts Down In The Box matchup against the Orlando Magic’s Dwight Howard. CB4 even showed some clutch game by scoring 31 of those 41 points in the second half to lead the Raptors to victory. And if you have Bosh on your fantasy team, he’ll do the same for you. Brother!!!

It is a pleasure to sub in for Dennis this week. Let us get right to it!
POINTS
BULLISH
Dwyane Wade, PG/SG, Miami Heat
Last Week’s Numbers of Note: 4 G; 31.8 PPG; 49.0 FG%; 77.5 FT%
Wade missed four games around the holidays but has come back logging big minutes and posting even bigger numbers. Last week Wade scored 30 or more points in three of four contests. The beauty in his game lies not only in his points production, but in his around game; he also averaged almost eight assists and three steals last week. Wade drained two three-pointers over the four games, which is below average for a fantasy guard, but at least he still provides a little help to your team there.

POINTSBULLISH
Dirk Nowitzki, PF, Dallas Mavericks
Last Week’s Numbers of Note: 4 G; 34.5 PPG; 51.6 FG%; 87.5 FT%
How does Nowitzki come back from a poor 11-point performance against the less than impressive Portland Trailblazers? Score a season-high 43 points the next game and continue to hang points on the opposition in the next three games, which Dirk did in the past week. Not only has he been impressive shooting the ball, but rebounding it as well averaging 10.8 glass cleaning in the same period. Nowitzki is going good right now in all facets of his game, which is helping his stroke. Obviously, don’t ever worry about low-scoring performances from Dirk (did you know he had two games where he only scored six points!) because he isn’t an elite fantasy player for nothing and will definitely come back strong.
