Earl Boykins signed with the Charlotte Bobcats in a move that largely went under the radar in most fantasy circles. However, you should be well aware of this move. Boykins, while he’s not a great NBA player, he can at times be a great fantasy player.
The Bobcats have Raymond Felton and Jeff McInnis, but neither has proven to be much of a point guard this season. Felton is being played more at shooting guard now, while McInnis has never been much of a fantasy player. Enter Boykins. If there’s on thing about Boykins, it’s that he is never afraid to …read more

The Grizzlies and Stoudamire are reportedly nearing a buyout on his contract. Stoudamire, who began the season as the team’s starting point guard, would become an attractive free agent on the open market.
Stoudamire was having a decent season in Memphis until they gave the job to rookie Mike Conley. Now Stoudamire doesn’t have a role, as the backup to Conley is second-year player Kyle Lowry.
If Stoudamire is bought out and becomes a free agent, one exciting prospect is he joins the Phoenix Suns. The Suns need a backup point guard who can spell Steve Nash. In the fantasy world, …read more

If your fantasy basketball team is struggling, you might have to get inventive to figure out a way you can improve your team. One thing you can do is locate and sign retired players who will come back and play at some point this season. Here are four players currently not on NBA team’s that might sign with a team in the coming months.
Earl Boykins
Boykins was a feel good story the last couple seasons who inexplicably has disappeared from the NBA. He opted out of guaranteed money from the Milwaukee Bucks and has since failed to sign with another team. …read more

Kevin Garnett, Boston Celtics
Garnett has been far from dominant recently. His points are down, his rebounds are down and his overall play isn’t as great as it was earlier in the season. That said, he should be a very good fantasy option down the stretch run of the season. Right now, he’s going through the mid-season doldrums. Once the finish line gets in sight, expect Garnett to produce much better. If you can trade for him, do it.
Rashard Lewis, Orlando Magic
Lewis hasn’t been as good as many touted him to be. His scoring isn’t spectacular, neither is any other statistic. …read more

Nene, Denver Nuggets
Nene is returning from injury and has played well in his time back with the Nuggets. Always a huge talent, Nene used his time away to get into better shape. Although he has a lot of competition from quality bigs such as Kenyon Martin and Marcus Camby, Nene should be able to carve out a niche for himself in Denver.
Tyrus Thomas, Chicago Bulls
Thomas is a player who looks great one night and then disappears for a couple of weeks. For a fantasy team, that is very dangerous. But with a new coach in Chicago, Thomas might get a …read more

Kyle Korver, Utah Jazz
The Jazz traded for Korver and Korver has been playing pretty well for Utah. With Ronnie Brewer’s minutes getting lowered recently, Korver could conceivably find himself in the starting lineup by the end of the season. The Jazz desperately need a three-point shooter and Korver is one of the better shooters in the league.
Martell Webster, Portland Trail Blazers
Webster has played pretty well for the Blazers, however he has a lot of room to improve. When you are looking for sleepers, this is the type of guy to look for. Webster is a very good shooter, a capable …read more

Nate Robinson, New York Knicks
Robinson might be the shortest shooting guard in NBA history. At a listed 5-foot-9, Robinson just doesn’t have what it takes to be a point guard in the NBA. That said, he has shown enough ability at shooting guard to make him a very good prospect at that level. If Robinson gets consistent time with the Knicks or elsewhere, he’s a very solid fantasy player.
CJ Miles, Utah Jazz
Miles is a young shooting guard who is starting to blossom with the Jazz. He’s a good shooter who is also a tough defender. …read more

By Brian Wagoner, Fantasy Basketball Expert for FantasyFanatics.com
So far this season, we have suffered through several “here today, gone tomorrow” fantasy free agent pick-ups. The 2007-2008 NBA season has been full of these: Damien Wilkins, Antoine Wright, Jamario Moon, Sean Williams, Rashad McCants, Andray Blatche, and DeShawn Stevenson. The first “Stock Watch” of the New Year will continue the search for players that will maintain a fantasy impact for your team.

Brendan Haywood – Center – Wizards
Don’t get me wrong, I am not on the Haywood bandwagon just yet. However, the numbers that he has put up this season …read more

Right now in fantasy basketball, there are some interesting point guards on the waiver wire. Each of the four point guards below would be quality waiver wire pickups. While none of the four are sure bets, they each could blossom into very good fantasy players.
Mike Conley, Memphis Grizzlies
Conley recently returned from injury and is now in the starting lineup for the Grizzlies. With Damon Stoudamire placed on the inactive list for the game, it’s obvious that the Grizzlies will give Conley every chance to win this starting position. And while he’s young and playing difficult position, expect Conley to put …read more

Nazr Mohammed, Charlotte Bobcats
Mohammed was having a very quiet season with the Detroit Pistons before he was traded to the Bobcats. Now in Charlotte, Mohammed is playing very well. In his first start, Mohammed had 17 points, eight rebounds and three blocks. In his second game as a starter, he had 20 points, 14 rebounds and four blocks.
Nenad Krstic, New Jersey Nets
Krstic has been horrible this year for the Nets. He was so bad in fact that the Nets decided to make Krstic go back to rehabbing his knee that he hurt last year. However, Krstic is close to returning …read more
