Shawn Marion, Miami Heat
Although Shawn Marion is usually one of the safer bets in all of fantasy basketball, his situation just isn’t as great as usual this year. He no longer has Steve Nash helping him out and is instead in a lame duck type situation with the Heat due to his expiring contract. Not only that, the Heat have a lot of players that could get time at the forward positions including Michael Beasley, Udonis Haslem, James Jones, Dorell Wright and Yakhouba Diawara.

1) Amare Stoudemire, Phoenix Suns
As the season went on, Amare Stoudemire got strong and stronger. By the last couple months of the season, Stoudemire was by far the best fantasy basketball bigman in the game. His past injury concerns are now behind him.

2) Kevin Garnett, Boston Celtics
The only reason Kevin Garnett slipped a bit in fantasy basketball was because the Celtics were just too good. With Garnett’s minutes down, his overall fantasy impact wasn’t as impressive. However, he was still a very good player this year.
3) Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas Mavericks
Dirk Nowitzki didn’t have the most consistent season …read more

Just over five weeks into 2008, let’s take a look at the biggest fantasy basketball busts of the 2008 calendar year so far . . .
Vince Carter, New Jersey Nets
After cashing in this past summer, Vince Carter has been a huge disappointment this season for the Nets. In 2008, he has been even more disappointing. His shooting percentages are down and he’s not playing with any type of fire.
Tracy McGrady, Houston Rockets
Although he has battled various injuries, Tracy McGrady just isn’t playing well enough when he does play. Fantasy owners who used a high draft pick on McGrady and really …read more

1) Kevin Garnett, Boston Celtics
Garnett has become a very balanced and efficient fantasy player as of late. He’s not doing any one thing exceptionally great but he also doesn’t hurt your fantasy team at all. He’s an all-around great player right now and he’s making his fantasy owners very happy. His scoring and rebounding should improve as the season progresses.
2) Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas Mavericks
Nowitzki started the season off in a slump but has turned it all around. He’s back to being an MVP caliber player for the Mavericks. His shooting has been a little shaky recently but that slight dip …read more

1) Kevin Garnett, Power Forward
While Garnett is the clear cut best fantasy power forward in the game, the success of the Celtics has actually hurt his fantasy production a bit. While his per minute numbers are great, he’s not playing as many minutes as he normally does. The reason for that is the Celtics are winning so easily, he can rest a lot of fourth quarters. If the Celtics cool off and stop demolishing teams, that’d actually be good news for Garnett owners.

According to Yahoo standard scoring, these are the top ten current fantasy basketball players on the 2007-08 season. There are a couple surprises but the list is mostly comprised of big name players.
1) LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers
A lot of people nitpicked James’ fantasy game coming into this season. However, that now looks foolish as James is off to one of the best starts in NBA history. He’s basically averaging 32, 8, 8, 2 and 2. Just sick, sick numbers.

2) Kevin Garnett, Boston Celtics
Garnett hasn’t disappointed in his new home. He’s putting up great fantasy numbers and was rated number …read more

Here is a look at the top five power forwards according to Yahoo’s standard scoring:
1) Kevin Garnett, Minnesota Timberwolves
Garnett has been a beast so far and he is making his fantasy owners very proud. He’s having arguably the best season of his career and there seems to be no end in sight. Barring injury, Garnett should finish in the top two in his position without problem.
2) Shawn Marion, Phoenix Suns
Marion is another guy who was drafted high and is living up to expectations. He was born to be a fantasy basketball stud, as he produces in virtually every area. Marion …read more
