Playing 2 ten team tournaments with our roster tonight.  The structure is a 7 player, 220 point cap game on Fantasy Sports Live.

I’m sticking with the strategy that has been working, using the studs and duds plan (check out the articles section to learn more about the strategy).  Hakim Warrick continues to perform and hopefully he can keep it going tonight.  Put him at Forward for $11.

LeBron James (47) gets one forward spot and Ron Artest (31) gets the other.  Both are riding hot streaks, so let’s keep riding them.

Guard was a little difficult today.  I’m going with Vince Carter (31) at one guard spot.  He put up 50FP on Wednesday in the first game with Kidd gone.  He should continue to see close to 40 minutes a night and put up good stats.  He did get a cramp at the end of Wednesday’s game, but looks to be just fine.  The other two guard spots were a tossup between a pairing of C. Paul(38)/A.Miller(27) or Redd(31)/D. Williams(31).  I don’t think you could go wrong with either pairing, but I’m going with the Redd/D. Williams pairing tonight.  I’m leaving 3 points of cap on the table, but that will give me plenty of room for any emergency that might come up close to game time.

Put Ming (35) at center.  He will get his 37+ minutes.  Ming put up 45FP in his last meeting with New  Orleans and should be able to get close to that tonight.

Check back closer to game time for any updates.  And check out the FantasySportsHandicapping.com  Fantasy Forum message boards.  The first 50 people to register get the “Original Member” rank to keep forever.  Yeah, I’m not above bribing people, LOL.  Register for the boards, come by and say hello, and give us some feedback on what you would like to see on the site.

Payback, thanks Ginobili

We had a good night getting 1st in one tourney and 3rd in the other.  The change from Roy to Ginobili got us in the money, which was payback for Wednesday’s bad move of replacing Carter.  I guess everything works out in the long run.  As usual with a small NBA schedule, the teams in last nights tourneys were closely bunched.  262 won one tourney, while 266 points won the other.

The Fantasy Sports Handicapping team put up 262 points with Ginobili (51), McGrady (39), Alston (34), Marion (30), Duncan (51), Al Jefferson (38) and Blount (19).  Roy managed to play and put up a nice 44.  Everyone except Marion earned in excess of their salary.

 Big Schedule today with 26 of 30 teams on the court, so there should be some good plays.  I’ll have the draft board up early afternoon and tonight’s picks up shortly thereafter.
