1) Shawn Marion, Miami Heat
While Shawn Marion split his time between the Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat this season, he remained a fantasy stud. Marion’s game is built for fantasy basketball and although he won’t have Steve Nash on his side anymore, he should continue to be a fantasy force.
2) LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers
LeBron James is probably the most talented and perhaps the best player in the NBA but his fantasy game isn’t as flawless. He’s no doubt a top three small forward, however he’s not as overwhelmingly dominant in fantasy basketball as he is in the NBA.

The injury news for the Washington Wizards just keeps getting worse. Caron Butler has been diagnosed with a torn labrum in his hip. While there is no set timetable for his return, this is definitely bad news for the Wizards and fantasy basketball owners around the world.
Butler has been having an amazing fantasy season. He’s been one of the best players in the entire game for much of the year. He had finally blossomed and was surpassing everyone’s expectations.
A torn labrum can either be a season-ending type injury or Butler could opt to play through the pain. Either way, it’s …read more

With the NBA’s All-Star game right around the corner, here is a look at the fantasy basketball All-Star team.
C Amare Stoudemire, Phoenix Suns
With Shaquille O’Neal coming to town, Amare Stoudemire’s days at center are almost over. However, he was a center for almost the entire first half of the season and has been the best fantasy center in the game. Any fantasy basketball owner who took a chance on Stoudemire and his questionable healthy is ecstatic with how Stoudemire has played this season.
PF Kevin Garnett, Boston Celtics
After being traded from the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Celtics, Kevin Garnett entered the …read more

I’ve crunched the numbers and over the last month, here are the top ten fantasy basketball players in the NBA:
10) Andrew Bynum, Los Angeles Lakers
Bynum has been a stud for the Lakers. He’s quickly becoming the second best player on the team and is showing huge potential. His fantasy numbers have been great as of late.
9) Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers’ superstar is getting it done, as well. Bryant’s scoring numbers aren’t as spectacular as they have been in the past, but he’s arguably a much better player now.
8) Jason Richardson, Charlotte Bobcats
Richardson has been a great addition to …read more

1) Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas Mavericks
Nowitzki started relatively slow this season. However, as of late, he’s been on fire. As of late, Nowitzki has even added shot blocking to the areas in which he can help your fantasy team. If you want to trade for Nowitzki, do it now before others realize how on fire he really is.

2) Chris Paul, New Orleans Hornets
This should be no surprise. Paul has been playing great all season. Recently he has struggled with his shot a bit, but even that has barely lessened his fantasy value. Paul has really separated himself as the best fantasy …read more

Caron Butler, Washington Wizards
At some point before Gilbert Arenas is ready to return, you may look to trade away Butler if you can get great value in return. For example, if you can get a Kobe Bryant or a Shawn Marion in a package involving Butler, you should pull the trigger on that trade. Not that Butler isn’t a great talent, but Arenas is going to hurt all his numbers once he’s back into the fold.
Baron Davis, Golden State Warriors
Davis is having a great season. He’s one of the best players in all of fantasy basketball. …read more

5) Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers
Bryant has played a more team-oriented style this year and it’s working well for him and his team. The Lakers are winning and Bryant’s stats are still stellar. That said, expect him to start to shoulder more of the scoring load eventually. The increase in scoring will make him even more valuable in the fantasy world.
4) Shawn Marion, Phoenix Suns
Marion, by his standards, is having an off season. His scoring average is down and his shooting percentages are down. That said, he’s still a fantasy stud. He impacts the …read more

1) LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers
James is not only the best fantasy small forward, he’s the best fantasy player in the NBA this year. While he’s out with an injured finger, once he returns he shouldn’t skip a beat. If you can trade for James while he’s out injured, do so without hesitation.

2) Kevin Garnett, Boston Celtics
In some leagues, Garnett has small forward eligibility. If that’s the case in your league, he’s no doubt the second best small forward around. The scary thing about Garnett is he can play better than he’s currently playing once …read more

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

With Gilbert Arenas going under the knife for yet another knee operation, the latest report has Arenas being out for three months. If you have Arenas on your fantasy team, you should figure out how you want to handle this situation. Even if you don’t have Arenas on your squad, you should still ponder how this affects your team.
First of all, in a redraft league, Arenas is a bit of a risk to roster at this point. If everything goes as planned, Arenas would be back after the All-Star break. However, keep in mind that Arenas is in a contract …read more
