Fantasy Basketball Advice | Razzball

This week is going to be a weird week for fantasy if you are playing in Yahoo, as for some reason that they only know they decided to merge this and the upcoming week into one. That means week 7 runs from Monday all the way to the 15th of December and will...

Sorry about last week, but not really all that sorry.  Thanksgiving is like a vacation for everything but my digestive system.  Had a great time with family and did some fun stuff.  Did pick up the box scores from the past few days, here’s...

Is it the hardest road or is it really just called the Harden Road? Name or more iconic duo, Harden and a bunch of scrubs. Yes, the Clippers are 13-9 coming off a win against the Nuggets. How that’s happened against a top-10 schedule and their best scorer...

If you are a loyal reader of this column you will remember that the first article of the season was about Ben Simmons and his path to redemption that we read about every single summer. The initial omens were not particularly encouraging and after 13 games...

On Thanksgiving Eve, Ossie and Joel discuss the draft builds that have been the most successful so far and review some of the standout players of the season, including Franz Wagner, Nikola Vucevic, Kyrie Irving, and…Jakob Poeltl? Then the duo talk...

Thanksgiving is coming up, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention how thankful I am for the several of you who read this site every day.  It’s an honor that you guys read, and even more of one if you actually take the advice and not be...

Last we spoke, I alluded (maybe allude is too weak a word) to the fact that the Sixers were struggling just a bit, and here we are and they are, checks standings, now 3-13. Now, this is the East mind you, so that’s like what, two games back of first?...

Chicago:  Josh Giddey is rapidly falling out of favor with Chicago and if you can get something for him, I would try to do that thing.  He’s not closing games even though he’s starting them.  Against Milwaukee he totaled 24 minutes...

Have we already watched six weeks of basketball? Crazy sh*t. I can’t tell if time is flying because of how much fun we’re having, or how much drama they’re having. Why not both? We have the 76ers doing their best impersonation of the Hindenburg...

At around 15 games in, we currently stand just shy of the 20% mark of the 2024-2025 NBA season. Can you believe it? A mere 15 games ago — 4 weeks! — everyone assumed the very best of their favorite team and its players. Please, blog, may I have...

Forgive the awful pun in the title that relates to an old slogan of Nokia for their mobile phones, but my age and lack of humor cannot be contained. Just like Dalton Knecht cannot be contained as of late and is connecting with impressive accuracy from the...

Ossie returns from the IL to join Joel and the duo kick off the show discussing the surprisingly bright future in Portland and the predictably grim state of affairs for the Bucks. After considering the prospect of trading away Giannis Antetokounmpo (don’t...

This is why we love the NBA, am I right? After last night’s loss against Miami, the 76ers have now dropped to 2-11 while the Cavs continued their unbeaten streak to 15 games, beating the Hornets Sunday. While we can definitely make the meta-world argument...

One thing the NBA is trying to do is make this play-in tournament thing happen.  You can count on teams playing their guys normal minutes, or even extended minutes for these games.  The next game?  All bets are off, and guys are resting left...

Dyson Daniels is obviously good-like, really good. Nobody is debating that. But I think he’s in the rare position of not being under appreciated, but still being undervalued. To understand why, let’s think about standard deviations. Standard deviations...

With Ossie away, Joel is joined by Razzwriter Maks to discuss life abroad, finding a fantasy community as an American ex-pat, and early impressions of the still-young NBA season. The pair put Nikola Jokic’s historic start in context, examine how Karl-Anthony...

As the season turns, so does my soft tissue damage. Haha, basic injury joke because the NBA is literally an active war zone at the moment, no offense to the other war zones around the world, of course. But the truth is, are we seeing an aberration or was last...

Oh my gosh.  When I went to Jay, our fearless leader, and had the idea to discuss rotations, I didn’t know there would be a 35% increase in injuries from last year, which seemed high anyway.  There’s a new one every night and everyone...

With 12 games played for most NBA teams and 1/10 of the season already behind us, we can make some initial observation about this fantasy season. One easy one is that Nikola Jokic is playing on another fantasy level this season and is comfortably and by a...

So we’re at that special time and place when all NBA teams have played at least 10 games and most are around or near the dozen mark. And as many of you have seen, even if you just merely peruse the injury list from time to time, know that the (generally)...
