OK guys we've been talking about it for a while, but now it really is that time of year. All leagues will be completed on the last day of the NBA regular season, April 16th. With that being said, I would like to recommend 3 teams that have favorable matchups the last 7 days (10th...
I Don't Like Milkshakes, but I'll Take a Frye.

CHANNING FRYE
I'll be the first to admit that this guy is definitely a stretch in terms of fantasy potential, but you gotta admit, the title was catchy, right? But seriously, Frye had the fourth best line of the night last night according to basketballmonster.com--and they know...

So make those last minute fantasy basketball adds and drops! Here's last night's pickup of the night:
CHARLIE VILLANUEVA
I cannot seem to make up my mind about this guy. He is really inconsistent and normally that would be bad for fantasy. But I think he'll finish...

Big Man Pickups?

JOAKIM NOAH
So tonight, the focus is on the bruisers in the middle. These guys may not get you many points, but they will shoot a high percentage from the field, block some shots, and pull down all of your rebounds. Case in point, last night Noah had just 10 points but was 4-5 from...

DARIUS SONGAILA (Was, PF)Songaila moved into the starting lineup yesterday after Brendan Haywood did not play because of a left patella tendon strain. In his last 5 games Songaila has seen extra minutes and it has helped him average around 12 points, 5 boards, 3 assists and 1.5 steals...

ANTHONY CARTER
Do you pick up Carter in your league, or do you not? The Nuggets are a dynamic team, but Carter is behind AI, Melo, Camby, and Kenyon Martin in taking shots and getting stats. Well, Carter proved tonight he doesn't need the ball to produce and should be on your...

C.J. MILES
This is the guy who's been starting for the injured Andrei Kirilenko. He's a Guard-Forward that can hit the long ball. Last night he had a spectacular game, scoring 29 points, with 4 boards and 5 dimes. He had 17 looks at the basket and hit 12 of those shots. He...

BRANDON BASS
This is a guy who had me on his bandwagon when Dirk went down. He has some ability and the Mavs just are not that deep. 21 points and 5 rebounds while shooting 6-12 from the field and 9-12 from the line is respectable. He is the first guy off the bench for this team,...

YI JIANLIAN
He is back from injury and has begun to string together some pretty good games. Look for him to get 25+ min/game for the rest of the year. Last night he scored 14 points, grabbed 8 boards and blocked two shots. Based on his FG%, it's safe to say he's been rusty...

JOSH BOONE
That's twice this week, but he has earned it. In 35 minutes, he recorded 15 points and 16 boards. But the amazing thing is the 6-8 from the field and equally good 3-4 from the line. Not too bad for a guy that usually kills you from the free throw stripe. Oh, and by...

ARRON AFFLALO
This guy was a stud at UCLA but hasn't really got any minutes in this his rookie season with the Central Champion Pistons. Fortunately for him, Richard Hamilton has been banged up recently and the Pistons are in need of a substitute. And that's exactly what Afflalo...

JOSH BOONE
26 points on 9-12 from the field. 6 rebounds and 2 blocks. I only wish he didn't shoot 50% from the line in 16 shots. 16 SHOTS!!! I'm glad I picked him up recently since he has been playing a lot more in the power forward role. He definitely validated the 32 minutes...

JASON WILLIAMS Yes, he shoots a terrible percentage. Sure, he plays on the worst team in the NBA. But with Dwyane Wade shut down for the season (link here) last week, Williams has begun to log more minutes and more shots. He took 26 shots and made 14 of them against the Orlando Magic...

If each night one had the time, energy and will to look through every NBA stat line, one might be very successful at fantasy basketball. One would be able to pick up emerging studs, drop eventual duds and monitor those ify suds. Unfortunately, a manager rarely has the time to do this...

HAKIM WARRICK
10-13 from the field. 7-8 from the line. 2 threes. 29 points. 7 rebounds. 3 steals. Wow. With lines that like from players every night, you could easily win 6 categories in a H2H league. The Grizzlies have given up on this year but are still playing hard (because they...

I've actually been waiting for this rookie to get some more minutes and onto this list. Well, tonight is the night. Green had 23 points on 7-13 from the field and 7-8 from the line with 2 threes, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, and even chipped in a block. Best part of all,...

He's been having an up-and-down season to this point, but recently he has begun to pick it up again. And what's not to like about a team that has scored over 100 points a game in every game since February 25th and over 115 points a game the past 5 games...
