Buy Low Candidates – Fantasy Basketball

Monta Ellis, Golden State Warriors
In the much anticipated Monta Ellis return, Ellis looked very good. He had 20 points and showed that his athleticism remains intact following his moped accident. Just as important for fantasy basketball owners, Ellis started at point guard — which makes him even more valuable. Get him on your fantasy team if the price is right.

Richard Hamilton, Detroit Pistons
There is a lot of turmoil surrounding Richard Hamilton. He’s now coming off the bench to help balance out the Pistons’ starting lineup. While that may have soured a few Hamilton owners, he’s still a player that can help your fantasy team. Get him now before he fully adjusts to his role and his value increases.

Amare Stoudemire, Phoenix Suns
If there’s a time to get Amare Stoudemire for a reduced rate, now would be that time. He’s laid a few eggs recently and hasn’t looked nearly as good as usual. That said, the Suns will figure out a way to get him more involved and his fantasy value will again rise. Trade for him now if at all possible.

Derrick Rose, Chicago Bulls
Derrick Rose has hit the rookie wall — much like almost all rookies do. The good news is that many rookies are able to regroup and get over the wall. Rose should be one of those rookies so if you have a panicking Rose owner in your league, now is the time to pounce.
