Along with the Jamal Crawford for Al Harrington trade, the New York Knicks also made noise on Friday by trading Zach Randolph to the Los Angeles Clippers. The deal sent Randolph and Mardy Collins to the Clippers for Cuttino Mobley and Tim Thomas.
As far as Randolph is concerned, this is unlikely to be good news for his fantasy basketball value. With the Knicks, he was putting up very good numbers and was see a ton of touches. Mike D’Antoni basically let him shoot whenever he wanted to.
With the Clippers, Randolph will have to find time between Marcus Camby and Chris …read more

Marcus Camby, Los Angeles Clippers
Although Marcus Camby has been a very good fantasy basketball player the last few years, look for his reign of dominance to come to an end. First of all, Camby is always an injury risk and he’s dodged quite a few bullets the last couple of years. Second of all, the Clippers will play at a much slower pace than the Nuggets. That in itself will lower his stats across the board. There is also some question regarding how well he will mesh on the court next to Chris Kaman.
Pau Gasol, Los Angeles Lakers
Pau Gasol is …read more

1) Marcus Camby, Denver Nuggets
The main knock on Marcus Camby through the years has been his inability to stay healthy. This season, Camby only missed three games. Fantasy-wise, Camby was the most dominant fantasy basketball center in 2008 – easily. His rebounds and blocks made him a one-man wrecking crew.
2) Pau Gasol, Los Angeles Lakers
Pau Gasol’s game really exploded once he hit Los Angeles. He was ranked highly going into the season and showed glimpses of reaching his very high potential. In coming seasons, Gasol will be a fantasy basketball force.
3) Yao Ming, Houston Rockets
If it wasn’t for injury, Yao …read more

In case you’ve missed it, these NBA players are out for the season. Obviously, waive them from your fantasy basketball roster and look for alternatives.
Andrew Bynum
Everything points to Bynum being out for the rest of the regular season. He may return for the playoffs but that is looking less and less likely.
Drew Gooden
Gooden is battling an abdominal strain and the Bulls have announced he’s out for the season.
Gerald Wallace
Wallace has been slow to recover from his latest injury and all indications point to him shutting it down.
Chris Kaman
Due to a sprained ankle, Kaman will not again …read more

1) Amare Stoudemire, Phoenix Suns
Stoudemire is getting healthier and healthier as the season progresses and he’s starting to play really well. He should become more valuable as the season goes along and his knees get stronger. If he’s on your fantasy team, you have to be happy with his prospects.

2) Marcus Camby, Denver Nuggets
Camby is having another great season. He hasn’t had any major injuries worries this season and seems to be playing as well as ever. If he stays healthy, he’d definitely be one of the best fantasy players in all of the NBA. His rebounding and blocks are …read more

An important aspect of winning in fantasy basketball is to know when to trade away your assets when their value is at the highest. Players can be artificially valuable due to circumstances that may change with time. If that’s the case look to trade those players while they still have value.
Here are the top five sell high players at the moment:
Chris Kaman
Kaman is more of a long-term sell high candidate. He should be good for a while longer. However, if Elton Brand’s return is on the horizon, that’s the time to cut bait on Kaman. He’s not going to be …read more

With Elton Brand out with an injury, the Clippers are a difficult team to get a read on. It’s even more difficult that whatever read you get, it could be turned upside down once Brand returns (there is talk of brand returning as early as January).
As it stands, here’s a look at each of the Clippers with fantasy appeal:

Corey Maggette
Maggette is back as the main offensive threat for the Clippers. He’s had a couple rough years in which he clashed with coach Mike Dunleavy, but appears to finally be in the coach’s good graces. With Maggette being a main option, …read more
