I’m off to Atlantic City to play some World Series of Poker preliminary events and satellites. No draft boards or picks for Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. I will be back on Saturday and will have the draft boards and picks up as usual.
See you guys Saturday.

We are playing 2 ten team tournaments on FSL today. The structure is a 7 player, 220 point cap game.
I’m going with the expensive Dwight Howard ($38) at center today. Howard had a huge line in his last matchup at Toronto, and that was with Chris Bosh in the lineup. Let’s see what he can do in Orlando against a Bosh-less Toronto team.
I’m in a gambling mood today and I’m putting Joe Johnson ($29) at one guard. He has a great matchup v. GSW at home. He put 41FP on the board in a Feb 22 game at Golden State. He should be able to give us something similar in Atlanta. Kobe Bryant ($40) gets a guard spot today and hopefully he keeps putting in 40+ minutes. Jason Richardson ($30) gets the last guard spot. Richardson has had back to back 30 point scoring games and gets a soft Minnesota matchup today.
At forward I’m sticking with Hakim Warrick ($14). His low $14 salary allows us to play Kobe, but Warrick can put up fantasy points on his own, as he had 30FP last game out. Ron Artest ($31) gets a forward spot and Al Jefferson ($36) gets the last forward spot.
Good luck and I will see you guys on Saturday.
And not a good cold frosty Miller either. We only got 15 points from Andre and it sunk us. The team put up 198 total points with Paul (44), Miller (15), Iguodala (30), Nowitzki (25), Thornton (18), Maggette (28) and Okur (38).
I’m going to put Tuesday’s draft board and picks up before I leave for Atlantic City this afternoon. No draft boards for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and I’ll see you all again on Saturday.

Only 3 NBA games today. We are playing 2 ten team tournaments with our fantasy basketball tournament roster. The structure is a 7 player, 200 point cap game on FSL.
We have a low cap of 200 points today, so we have to find a couple of bargains. At forward, I’m going to give Al Thornton ($16) a shot. He had one of his worst games last time out, but hopefully it was just an off night. At the other forward spots I’m going with Nowitzki ($36) and Corey Maggette ($30). Nowitzki should have a big game and Maggette should be the primary scoring option with Tim Thomas still out.
At Guard, I’m taking the top of the board in Chris Paul ($37). I’m hoping Paul can have a big night to compensate for some of our other weak roster spots. Andre Miller ($27) and Andre Iguodala ($32) get the other two spots. Keep riding them until they are out of the playoff race.
Put Mehmet Okur ($21) at center. Okur is risky, but he has put up two big lines in his last two games. We just don’t have enough money today to get anything better.
Good luck. Also, if for some reason the blog isn’t loading or is down, you can always get the picks on the Fantasy Sports Handicapping main website on the basketball draft room homepage.
Only got one tournament to fill due to the early tipoff and we didn’t have any luck in that one. The team put up a total of 200 points with McGrady (34), Redd (31), Ginobili (22), Duncan (27), Bargnani (13), Nowitzki (52) and Camby. That is two disappointing games in a row for Duncan.
A small NBA schedule today. I’ll have the draft board up this afternoon, along with our tournament picks.

Playing 2 ten team tournaments with our fantasy basketball betting roster. 7 player, 210 point cap on FSL.
At guard, I’m going with T. McGrady ($32), Michael Redd ($31) and Manu Ginobili ($31).
At forward it’s Nowitzki ($36), Duncan ($35) and Bargnani ($14). Barganani should get good minutes with Bosh out, but I suspect many other teams will start him also.
Put Camby ($31) at center.
Sorry for the delay today, sometimes it takes longer than you think to get a 4 year old ready for Church. Good luck.
We grabbed 3rd place in both 10 team tournaments on Saturday with a decent showing of 231 total points. Individual scores were A. Miller (46), Ginobili (41), Redd (24), Duncan (19), Boozer (33), Warrick (30) and Stoudemire (38). Duncan was a bit of a disappointment last night, as was Michael Redd.
There are 11 NBA games on the schedule for Sunday, with the first game tipping off at 1:00 Eastern. I’ll have the draft board and tournament picks up by noon.
Also, just a note, I’m going to be playing some of the World Series of Poker Circuit Events at Caesars in Atlantic City this week, so I’ll be out from Wednesday through Saturday.

Maybe today we will get to play longer than 9 minutes. I’m playing 2 ten team tournaments with our contest roster. 7 player, 210 point cap on FSL.
Starting it off with Amare Stoudemire ($36) at Center. It was a toss-up between Howard and Stoudemire, but I like Amare’s matchup a little better.
At forward let’s go with Tim Duncan ($35) at one forward. Duncan has been playing well and should keep it rolling. Carlos Boozer ($35) gets a forward spot, although I’m not really comfortable with the selection. I haven’t seen any reports on him having a health problem, so I’ll just chalk last night’s 16 FP performance up to a bad night. Hakim Warrick ($14) gets the last forward spot. Hakim saw some time on the bench, but still put up 20FP on Friday. I’ll take that again today.
Andre Miller ($27) gets a guard spot. Average night for Miller last night, but he has another good matchup today and is good value for only $27. Manu Ginobili ($31) gets a guard spot. Let’s see if he can come up with one of his big games at Milwaukee. The last spot goes to Michael Redd ($31). He has been shooting well lately, so let’s hope his has his stroke in this one.
Good luck and check back close to game time as there could be news on Boozer.
The first game tipped off at 7:00 pm and our night was over 9 minutes later when Chris Bosh went down with a knee injury and never returned. While you can put in hours of work and call the contests ‘games of skill’, you still need a little luck to win. Last night’s team put up 204 points with Iverson (48), B. Davis (22), A. Miller (24), Bosh (13), Warrick (20), Nowitzki (50) and Gasol (27).
At least in a daily league, you can say goobye to Bosh and start with a new team today. For all the season long league guys who had Bosh, I feel your pain.
Only 5 NBA games today. I’ll have the draft board up later today.

Our team is registered for 2 ten team tournaments today on FSL. 7 player, 220 point cap structure.
Putting Gasol ($31) at center. Not many options at center today and Gasol is the best of the bunch.
I’m playing Hakim Warrick ($14) at one forward spot. If he can give us 22-24FP, I’ll be happy. Dirk Nowitzki ($36) gets a forward spot and Chris Bosh ($35) gets the last forward spot. Bosh was a questionable call here as I could have gone with Garnett, Boozer, Al Jefferson or Anthony. Jefferson’s matchup was bad, Boozer has a road game, Garnett may not get 35 minutes, and Anthony may or may not have a shoulder problem. I’m going the safe route with Bosh.
At guard, I’m going with the red hot Andre Miller ($27), Allen Iverson ($38) and Baron Davis ($38). Iverson gets a nice home game v. a soft LAC team and Baron will get big minutes in what could be a high scoring game in Philly.
Good luck and check out the blog every day for our tournament results.
