Well, All-Star Weekend has come and gone, however, the debate on the “Superman” dunk (was it a dunk or not?) still rages on. As fantasy basketball players, we have bigger concerns on our mind. For one, what are the fantasy effects of all of the blockbuster deals this season? Also, are there any second-half sleepers out there to help you in your league’s stretch run? Here is a look at those questions and more.

The Sacramento Kings traded Mike Bibby to the Atlanta Hawks over the weekend for Anthony Johnson, Tyronn Lue, Lorenzen Wright and Shelden Williams. Bibby goes to Atlanta trying to give the team the solid point guard it hasn’t had in years.
In Bibby’s first game with the Hawks on Tuesday, he injured an ankle. The extent of the injury isn’t immediately known. When healthy, Bibby will be a good addition for the Hawks.

Bibby, a point guard for the Sacramento Kings, is expected to return to action at some point in the next week. Bibby, who at times has been a fantasy force, is expected to come off the bench when he returns. With Beno Udrih playing relatively well, Bibby will have to earn back his starting gig.

Bibby should get his starting job back when he returns, but newcomer Beno Udrih has been playing well in his place. There’s a chance that Bibby doesn’t play as many minutes as usual once he returns. With that in mind, his fantasy value has to take a big of a hit.
Chucky Atkins, Denver Nuggets
Atkins is out with a groin injury. When he returns, it’s unclear what role he’ll have with the team. Anthony Carter has played well as …read more

Even though we are just starting the fantasy basketball season, it’s never too early to buy low on the fantasy market. One area to look for buy low candidates is on the injured list. Early season injuries often make fantasy owners overreact and sell of their asset for well below their actual value.
Here is a look at some injured players to make an offer for:
Randy Foye, Minnesota Timberwolves
Foye is sidelined with an injured kneecap. It’s unknown how long he’ll be out but it shouldn’t be any longer than a month. With that in mind, Foye is a good buy low …read more
